Praise the Lord. John 12:24 “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain.” The seed all by itself has the potential to become greater than what you see and the ground has the power to produce something greater from the seeds of your potential. If the owner of the seed or the holder of the potential refuses to submit to the ground that would empower them then the seed remains a seed even though it’s full of potential. Have you ever seen someone who was full of potential but refused to submit to the ground of authority that was in their life to empower them? They could have been a great leader but they refused to submit to the other leaders that were in their life. They could have been a great Christian but they refused to submit to the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 13:1 “Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God.” I believe that in you God has placed the seeds of great potential and as you fall into the good ground of God’s word and become grounded and rooted in Christ you shall produce 30, 60, and 100 times more than that which you started with. Thank God for God. Psalm 92:13 “Those who are planted in the house of the Lord Shall flourish in the courts of our God.” Allow yourself to be planted in His house and God will empower your potential to bring increase into the courts of your life.
This Sunday the Lord willing we will be back at church. Missing last Sunday because of the weather buts a greater desire in my heart to get together with God and like believers. Two weeks ago three people had accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior and I spoke with one of them this past week. He said in the service he felt an overwhelming love in the room and tears of joy that ran down his face and the gladness in his heart was wonderful. It’s great to hear the report of God’s amazing grace at work.
In the morning I’ll be sharing on, ‘Hidden Treasure.’ The Bible tells us that God has hidden treasure around us but I am afraid that we often overlook where He hid it. Sunday evening, ‘Bones In Your Closet.’ Bones by themselves have no power but you can empower bones to bless you or empower bones to hurt you. What have you been doing with your bones?
Continue to pray for those in need as you continue to do what you can do to help others. I’m really looking forward to seeing you on Sunday, lots of love, Pastor Kevin and Alice
