Welcome to another Friday fry up
Be True to the Real You
We have looked at the man in James 1 who forgets what He looks like. Let us now look at the account and rewards of the man who sees himself in God mirror and does not forget!
James 1:25 (NIV)
But the man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it—he will be blessed in what he does.
So the journey so far this week has reminded us to look into the mirror of God’s Word on a daily basis to discover our true identity and what we are truly capable of from a “Gods eye view”. Then we must have the courage to live out what we learn and live true to the identity we have found and it is then that our life takes on a whole new divine dimension.
It is then that the Bible promises that we will be blessed in what we do! What a great promise of reward. It does not say blessed in what you do in church but rather blessed throughout the entirety of your life. Why? Because the Bible speaks wisdom and truth to the entirety of your life not just the church related bit!
So if you want to experience this promised blessing throughout your life always remember to do the four things this verse tells you to:
1. Look intently into perfectly fulfilled law that brings freedom.
2. Continue to do this and get an appetite for it.
3. Don’t forget what you have read or discovered
4. DO IT – take it from information to application.
The result = YOU WILL BE BLESSED.
Have a great weekend
An invitation for friends of the ministry to join us in our miracle faith journey
As you may or may not know at Family Church we have entered into an exciting leg of our church journey and we believe that it is now time to raise the deposit to purchase an incredible building that we need to be both the home of the Portsmouth congregation and the base (hub) for all of our other church plants and ministries to function from. We are believing God to raise 1 million pounds (plus) in 12 months by positioning ourselves on the promise found in f 2 Corinthians 9:10 “He gives seed to the Sower and bread to eat”. We would like to give all our friends and supporters outside of Family Church an opportunity to join us in our miracle journey. If you would like to stand with us in believing God for seed for this great purpose or would like an opportunity to sow now into it as an individual, a ministry or an organization, we would warmly welcome you to be a part of this amazing miracle with us. If you would like more details please contact me or to pledge or give go to the Family Church website.
Bless you. It’s time for our building and with faith and unity we are well able!
Andy, Gina and all at Family Church
