Don't confuse 'GOOD CAUSES' with the 'GOSPEL'. It is impossible to
preach the Gospel of Jesus and fail to do good BUT it is very possible
to participate in a 'good cause' when it has nothing to do with God. As
children of GOD we have been called to be PREACHERS OF THE GOSPEL OF OUR
LORD JESUS CHRIST, NOT GOOD CAUSES.

CHURCH, be vigilant for your adversary the devil is very crafty. DON'T
be deceived that the world can produce anything good! Just like good
fruit can't be harvested from a poisonous tree...
----
No 'famous' secular artiste can do anything good without an evil agenda.
That doesn't mean that their hearts do not have any room for 'good
intentions' BUT it's all about the spirit that works in them and the
fact that they have chosen to be vessels for a particular kingdom.
They've paid a price for that fame, and for that reason their lives are
not theirs anymore... so don't be deceived.
----
SUCCESS isn't abt Status, Money or Fame. It's about FULFILLING YOUR
GOD-ORDAINED PURPOSE. Run your race with ENDURANCE and keep going to
Nineveh; do not be tempted into altering your course to Tarshish.
Hebrews 12:1-2
----
There's always a problem when the Church believes it can be INSPIRED by
the world! That equation is upside down. It is the Church supposed to
inspire the world because it has the Spirit of God and the mind of
Christ.
----
I believe from Heaven's balcony it is such an unbeliavably absurd sight
when God looks down and sees a pastor opening the doors wide and
allowing a man who is not born again to come in and teach a flock of
God's children "how to succeed in life"! How can a man without the
Spirit of God teach those with the Spirit of God how to succeed in
life?!
----
Child of God, GET THIS STRAIGHT: There's no sensible INSPIRATION you can
get from the world. For instance, if you aspire to be a great artiste,
you don't have to listen to Celine Dion or Akon, look for the Cece
Winans; if you dream of being in the political field, look for born
again leaders who have walked the talk of Christianity and if you can't
find any in this generation, look for the recorded wisdom of people like
George Washington; if you plan to be big in business, don't look for
wisdom from Bill gates but seek inspiration from people like David Green
(Founder of Hobby Lobby)...WHICHEVER FIELD you are, there's enough
inspiration for you in YOUR FATHER'S HOUSE. You don't need to 'visit'
the world for anything!
