PROCESS

The key to get from your Now to your Future is embracing the Process.

No one likes the ‘P’ word: Process!

I believe that as individuals we all aspire to grow, see change and accomplish great things in our lifetime.

But often it is the commitment to the unglamorous things in our lives that will inevitably make us Stronger and help us get to where we desire to be.

Joy in the wait and gratitude in the process is never an easy thing. I learn this on a daily basis, for instance, when my Zomato app says we are ‘processing your order’. 

Or Amazon say, ‘we are waiting for your parcel to be delivered’. 

No one likes waiting for things, especially when it comes to waiting on God. Yet in reality some of the greatest things I have been able to receive, are things I have had to wait for. In order to strengthen us along the journey I believe we need two things:

1. Daily Devotion 

Our Daily Devotion to God is one of the most underrated things in our lives. 

For it is in our Daily Devotion where we can forgive others, repent, be filled afresh, listen to Him, be humbled; it’s how we grow to become more like Christ.

Without devoting ourselves daily we become like a plant in the desert in need of water.

Daily Devotion is the key to unlocking your Spiritual Strength

2. Divine Power

As well as the need for our own Daily Devotion, I want us to unlock God’s Divine Power.

I say this because reading your bible every day isn’t always enough when you receive the phone call that you never expected. Going to Church every week isn’t enough, when you have been threatened to be evicted from your house because you can’t afford to pay the bills. Posting good Christian quotes with hashtag ‘Praise the Lord’ isn’t enough when you are fed up of waiting for God to bring you your partner.

Your daily devotion will make you stronger, but it won’t always make you strong enough. We need his Divine Power.

Exodus 14:13-14 NIV

13 Moses answered the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see again. 14 The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.”

Divine Power Starts when we Stop

There will be moments when you cannot do anything but pray and trust. 

Your Daily Devotion will sustain you, but sometimes the only thing that will be able to carry us through is His Divine Power.

The greatest miracles I have seen are not when we do all the work, but when God does the work for us.

If we desire to become Stronger we need to trust in His Divine Power

Where in your life do you need to trust in God’s Divine Power?

Daily devotion will train you for battle. 

But it’s His divine power that will win the victory.
