At sixty-seven years, I have spent the past forty years of my life as a married born-again believer, father, businessman, and pastor; I know who I am.
I’ve gone through the disappointments of unrealized speculations, and expectations of having faith in Jesus Christ. I have struggled to wonder if my life situations resulted from making bad decisions and feeling like a failure.
I’ve gone through the frustrations of understanding what patience looks like from God’s perspective. I’ve gone through the frustrations of learning the difference between religion and serving God in spirit and truth.
Through these struggles, I can say that they have made me a mature believer according to God’s word. I can distinguish the difference between what is of God and what is not.
I hope my spiritual maturity is okay with you as I seek to share the knowledge and understanding I have achieved through the power and guidance of the Holy Spirit these past forty years.
Some of the challenges I am overcoming now are with people who have yet to and will not put in the same work ethic I have over the past forty years in achieving this knowledge and understanding.
I am as committed as anyone when it comes to following instructions in the smallest detail to achieve what I want in life. I am not a quitter and will see it through for as long as it takes.
I am not going to complain about what happened; I am going to find a solution from the word Of God and get it done to show how it should be done.
I will hold whoever is responsible for it not getting done and hold them accountable. I’m just saying do what you are responsible for on the highest level possible. I seek and pursue perfection, which is my standard.
I have total confidence in myself. I am not insecure, which makes me committed to acknowledging what I don’t know and training myself in what I need to know to improve.
You will never hear me complain. I am a go-getter at the highest level in all I do. I have always excelled head and shoulders above my peers in whatever I have done in life when it was something I was passionate about.
I don’t need to be motivated, and I struggle with people who need to be motivated in what they say they are passionate about.
I understand that most people’s perception of me is not how I see myself. Therefore, people’s opinions of me have no value to me in my state of mind because I know myself.
I desire to get God’s people to that level of confidence. Naysayers will try to call that arrogance which is only natural for underachievers. I understand that. Like they used to say when I was a child,” The proof is in the pudding.” There is nothing like living proof. I have living proof of all I want to share with you
You must be willing to learn, willing to change, willing to grow, willing to put yourself out, and willing to nurture; that’s the only way to a great return. Once you understand these principles, investing in others becomes less of a challenge, ensuring everybody wins.
God says, “The one who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and produces, some a hundred, some sixty, and some thirty times as much.”
If you want to find, you must be willing to search; if you search, you will find. You must go to the source. You will find all you need for life and life more abundantly in the word of God.
Jesus turned and said to those who were following him, “If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his own father, mother, wife, children, brothers, sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be My disciple.
Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple. So then, none of you can be My disciple who does not give up all his own possessions. Luke 14:25-27
Jesus went on to say, “Don’t imagine that I came to bring peace to the earth! I came not to bring peace but a sword. ‘I have come to set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. Your enemies will be right in your own household!’
“If you love your father or mother more than you love me, you are not worthy of being mine; or if you love your son or daughter more than me, you are not worthy of being mine.
If you refuse to take up your cross and follow me, you are not worthy of being mine. If you cling to your life, you will lose it; but if you give up your life for me, you will find it. Matt. 10:34-42
“The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then, in his joy, he sold all he had and bought that field. Matt. 13:44
Jesus said, “Truly I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or farms, for My sake and the gospel’s sake, but that he will receive a hundred times as much now in the present age, houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and farms, along with persecutions; and in the age to come, eternal life. Mark. 10:29,30
Philip found Nathanael and said, “We have found Him of whom Moses wrote in the Law, and the prophets also wrote: Jesus the son of Joseph, from Nazareth!” Nathanael said to him, “Can anything good be from Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.” John 1:45-46
So, if you are that person described above, “Come and See.” However, you must be disciplined and follow instructions to the letter.
It can’t be about satisfying your human nature. It must be about your spiritual growth and development. You must be committed, passionate, and devoted to dying to your human nature. In its proper context, the word of God must be your standard for life concerning what is acceptable and what is not.
You must learn to trust and work with the Holy Spirit and me. This is a family culture we are building. It is the culture of the kingdom of heaven. At the end of the day, it is all about the kingdom family, the family of God, the only family that matters.
However, I understand that what am sharing is a narrow road that very few find. Therefore, I am encouraging only those who are committed to living a life that glorifies God on the highest level without apology to subscribe to this offer.
God says, “For it would be better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn away from the holy commandment handed on to them. 2 Pet. 2:21
“We are looking for people who want to create ministries that build upon the word of righteousness to make the church more powerful in strengthening families.”
The result is a globally accessible network of born-again believers, ministries, and services available to establish a strong kingdom culture.
