NUGGETS OF TRUTH
BETWEEN "FAITH" AND THE "HEART"
REV. DR. HILDEGARDE and BRUCE SERGEANT
FROM BRUCE
SERGEANT - November 2008 - Are You Ready To Be A Champion?
Are you ready to
be a champion for God? If so, courage must be added to
your faith; courage to admit need, courage to change, courage to
make
difficult decisions and courage to hold convictions. Success is not
usually
based on the ability to say yes, but on the ability to say no.
Courage must be directed by knowledge. You must know what is right
in order
to know what to resist and what to yield to. Life is composed of our
choices and constructed by our words. A common error is to judge
others by
what they do and ourselves by our intentions. Champions know the
only thing
that counts is what we do and not what we intend to do.
The devil wants to put us in bondage, but God quickens us. He plants
creative ideas in our minds. He places His desires in our hearts.
And then
he fulfills His will by enabling us to realize those dreams. We need
to
live for Godly-given dreams, divinely inspired desires, but die to
the
pride, fear and the vain things of the world and the flesh.
Wimps are afraid that it might hurt, but there is a biblical
principal that
even the world recognizes - No pain, no gain. The reason some do not
have
victory is that they are willing to settle for a truce. Truth and
honesty
are the heart of integrity. Your personal integrity is the
cornerstone of
your character. Maturity doesn't come with age; it comes with the
acceptance of responsibility. The reason wimps don't have more is
that they
settle for less.
Champions are not those who never fail, they are those who never
quit.
Champions are the right people in the right place at the right time.
Champions are made, not born.
God has an eternal clock which was started from the beginning of
time to
make you become a champion for Him. Don't waste another day. The
image of
a champion is within you. Let today be your "Day One."
