Blessings Heritage Family!
In this season, the Blinded sermon series (
Listen Here
) is less about seeing how we experience right now; instead, truly it is about what has yet to be revealed by God. There is an expectation that we know how to thrive in various terrains--whether mountains or valleys.
The Scripture reminds us, God is the same yesterday, today, and forevermore. And yet He can do a
new thing
in your life and mine. The world is different today than in the past. We are experiencing a disruption of our daily lives--churches, schools, work-force, even our physical proximity. The changes of the world may disrupt the world, however, it pivots the believer to
refocus
. He will provide us roads and rivers--ways out of no way! Therefore, we are charged to uplift the banner of God’s kingdom by feeding the hungry, loving our neighbors, building the next generation, and connecting others with Christ to build the kingdom. This is where we need to refocus--doing the steadfast, unstoppable work of the church. Refocus by learning a new skill, serving in a new ministry, and leveling-up the kingdom by being equipped for what God will spring forth within us and around us!
Many times we focus on what appears to the natural eye while forgetting to view God's plan through a spiritual lens. While sagacious is a great GMAT word, it’s worth adopting in our daily affirmations. We must become as keenly tapped into what God is doing in a spiritual realm, more than what we experience in the natural. This will allow us to take the road and plant near the river, instead of regarding it as a one use purpose by God. Today, I challenge each of us to refocus on the voice of God in this season. He has whispered to you how He desires to use you, where you can develop, and how to grow in Him. You are now on the right road, and we are here to journey with you in building the kingdom. Partner with us in ministry to spring forth what God already knows and awaits each of us to refocus.
