3 W's of Life

Last year I taught a series about Dreams, Here was the first part.
There are three W’s of life. When, Where, and Wind.

1. Where
- It’s the place where God will do what he has placed in your heart.

Genesis 12:1-9- God told Abraham I will bless you in the place. It’s where God instructs us to live and abide.

Here are 6 things to do and not to do:

1. Never look at the surroundings. It will be distracting. Genesis 13:9-11
2. Start Sowing. Genesis 26:12
3. Put your work in. – Go to school, continue confessing the Word of God. Hebrews 6:12
4. Take the limits off of What God said He would do. Isaiah 54:2
5. Allow God to make you. Isaiah 1:19 Paul said in the word of
6. Seek God for the strategy to accomplish the vision. Luke 14:28, Matthew 6:33 –seek first the kingdom
Know whenever God tells you to go, it is never a back step, but a place of promotion.

2. When- It’s the timing of God. Acts 2:1 When the day of Pentecost came. It’s the Kiros Time. Ecclesiastes 3:1-8;11

There are two types of time

1.
Chronos refers to chronological or sequential time. Chronos time is measured by the clock and calendar. It is orderly, rhythmic, and predictable.

2.
kairos refers to “God’s time.” It is a time, not measured by the clock, where God has chosen “the right moment” or the “opportune” time. Kairos time involves a period of disruption to the normal flow of things. God’s purposes intersecting and overruling the world of chronological time.


So, the question would be how do we get when, here are two ways.

1. Have to be unity. Isaiah 1:19, Psalms 133:1-2, Amos 3:3

2. Stay in the place where God has placed you until. Genesis 26:2 God told Isaac not to go down into Egypt. If he had moved out of the place where God had told him, when would have never happen. Acts 2:1

3. Wind- Is the resources. The wind brings all that you and I need to accomplish all that God has placed in our hearts.
Notice what it states in Acts 2:2 there came a “wind”

So, what happens

1. Breakthrough happens.- get the promotion, build the house, marriage is restored. Hebrews 11:11

2. Don’t stop now, Go and acquire everything God has spoken. You are able to Possess what you have spoken. Hebrews 3:1

This word profession in this scripture verse has dual meaning It means confession and possession.

So what you have confessed go and possess.

Finally
3. Remember. Deuteronomy 8:18 Lastly remember it is God that gives.

WoW! We have been on the go, but thanks be to God the best is yet to come.


There are two reasons why people do not go to church.

1. They don't know about it.
2. They don't recognize the significance of attending a local body.

Being apart of something is our human nature. If we are not apart of something then we begin to withdrawal from others. This is unhealthy. So, how do you increase and cause multiplication within your church.

It's not through negativity, hurt, lies, or manipulations. Influence gone perverted is manipulation. It's God that brings the increase. The bible states it comes in the form of thirty, sixty, and a hundred fold.

In the book of Acts the bible states the Lord added to the Church daily such as should be saved. The Lord added. God is in the business of blessing your church, business, family, career, but we have to be obedient to His will.

What caused 3000 to be added to the first church was the obedience of 120 people that waited in the upper room. It's never in the quantity, but in the quality. Yes numbers do matter. But God uses what you have.

It's imperative that people know Jesus and that there is a place for them to weekly attend and become apart of. Belonging is what every human being on planet earth desires. We desire to be accepted, loved, and appreciated. It's the Church that should be a safe haven. A hospital to some, a refreshing to others, and most important a place of hope. Connection is the key to good success.

When we express Jesus to others then they begin to see what others see. Our expression should be all about Him.

Today, is Jesus Lord of every area of your life. Is he the center and circumference. The base and the boundary, the sum and substance of what life is all about. If not, then reevaluate and make Him the center in every area of your life. It's not happen chance or coincidental that you stopped by, but by the providential hand of God.


Be Blessed
