Galatians 1:12 I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it; rather, I received it by revelation from Jesus Christ.

Paul’s receipt of the gospel was not unique, but it is probably very different to many people’s expectations!

We think of learning about Christ from a preacher or teacher who can explain things to us; we don’t always think of receiving it direct from God.

God is willing each one of us gets the gospel direct if it is going to make the difference between us believing or not. Nothing is too much to ask.

2 Samuel 5:10 And he became more and more powerful, because the Lord God Almighty was with him.

King David is known as the greatest king of Israel, not because he was a shepherd, a warrior or any other way you describe him!

He was the greatest king of Israel because he chose to listen to God (for the most part) and obey God (again, for the most part.)

Allow God to direct your hearts and minds so you can achieve the impossible, not by your strength, but through what God can do with you!

Psalm 19:3 They have no speech, they use no words; no sound is heard from them.

How many times have you looked up at the night sky and marvelled at the number of stars out there? If you are able to find a dark place where there are no street lights, it looks even more magnificent!

Now imagine each one of those stars declaring the glory of God!

No matter how many people you hear shouting out the name of Jesus, it will never compare the the whole of heaven shouting out His name!

Mark 3:21 When his family heard about this, they went to take charge of him, for they said, ‘He is out of his mind.’

When you start to do things as a Christian, you are going to get a fair amount of people who will think you are nuts because you are working for free or working harder than they think you should work.

But the more you work with God, the more you find out how rewarding it is, but also how many people need help!

When I was working in London I found a whole team of people who were willing to work hard to help others to get to know Jesus and to experience His love in one way or another!

Be the change!
