As Unto God - A Workman Approved Pt III: God Has Your Back

Well,

I'm sat here writing this after a monumentally successful week at work where I was given a weekly target of 5 leads to pass on to the closers... I did something like 12!!!

But that's enough on that because this is devotional time...

Faith Filled Friday - Sixty Seconds of Faith #0010

The hour may be late and people may have gone to bed, but that has not stopped me from putting together my latest broadcast on "60 Seconds..."

As Unto God: A Workman Approved Pt II

Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who doesn’t need to be ashamed, correctly teaching the word of truth. 2 Tim 2:15

Hello again,

Right, let's pick up exactly where we left off last time by taking a further look at the story of Jonah and the whale.

So far, we've discovered that what happens when you wilfully disobey God as, in Jonah's case, a run in the opposite direction resulted in a set of circumstances that saw him in the belly of a big fish.

Yet, even in circumstances of disobedience, as discussed last week, God can, and will, still seek us out when we go astray.

How great an example of lovingkindness!

Faith Filled Friday - Sixty Seconds of Faith #0009

Hey everyone!

Welcome to the latest episode, number 9, of my "60 Seconds" broadcast, I hope you're still enjoying it because I... well, you've heard me say that already!

Here's, belatedly, the next episode and the concluding part to last week's message: -

When One Chance Comes... Make the Most of It

This is just a quick life update to let you all know that tomorrow I start my brand new job!

That's right, starting tomorrow I am back with the land of the workers once again working for a company based in Northenden selling broadband and phone lines to businesses. It might not sound like bliss to some, but it's the potential for a basic salary plus uncapped commission that attracted me to the role.

It beats those other roles I went for, that's a fact!

I'll do an update real soon on how things have gone.

---TLP---

As Unto God: A Workman Approved Pt I...

Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who doesn’t need to be ashamed, correctly teaching the word of truth. 2 Tim 2:15

Alright, here we go!

Let's start today by looking at the word diligent, according to Merriam Webster: -

characterized by steady, earnest, and energetic effort

I like that "steady, earnest, and energetic effort" because that shows that whosoever is diligent, they are forever moving towards their target, never once slowing down or veering off course.

They are always making progress towards their goals...

What a way to live, huh?

Faith Filled Friday - Sixty Seconds of Faith #0008

It's that time of the week again folks!

Everybody's empire starts somewhere, and mine starts right here with this little broadcast of mine. What empire, or legacy, are you building bro's?

To Deny Thy Message or Not

Hey everyone!

I hope you're all having a great week so far, I know I am!

Why? Well, these days the 'whys' are easier to answer than the rest because by the end of this week I will have had six interviews in the last five weeks, that's right, six in five, baby, six in five!

So what of today's post?

Windows 10 - Initial Impressions Are Good

Well...

Yesterday I started my free* (where free is 'for the lifetime of the supported device', whatever the frell that means, heh!) upgrade to Windows 10.

So what are my initial impressions?

Not bad, not bad.

I must admit the only gripe I had with it when the upgrade had finished was how it insisted on logging on by default to my admin account, a feat which is highly illogical when it comes to web surfing. That's like giving the keys to a known robber and saying "please don't rob me"; the sonuvagun won't listen!

Your Life or Theirs - The Importance of Balance

Hey there!

Here's one for you; if you're facing a difficulty, would you take your own advice or someone else's? In any situation that you are faced with you can either follow your instincts or seek wise council from those that are in the know.

Which one is more important though? In the grand scheme of things, which of the two perspectives should have more weight put into it?

I'm here today to advise that they're both just as important as one another, the real challenge comes into knowing when to follow your instincts and when to follow the advice of others.

Faith Filled Friday - Sixty Seconds of Faith #0007

Here we go again!

It's Friday and you know what that means; 60 Seconds of Faith time!

So here's the latest episode called "Your Life or Theirs" and so far, I'm managing to tackle some really challenging subjects, which is great because it's a chance to stake my colours to the mast on certain issues that we need to be aware of, whether we believe or not.

Enjoy!

A Marvellous Light Has Won My Heart

My goodness, I don't even think today could have gone any better if I would have wanted it to!

The why for this is simple; because I have had not one but TWO interviews.

I must say I am really feeling the benefit now of working out what it means to have "bigger than faith" because of Lydia Chorpening's book because it is getting me to look at my life with no holds barred and actually say to myself "how much do I believe God has control of everything?"... no not just believe, I mean REALLY believe.

Containing the Uncontainable

Wow!

That's all I can say right now, because God is just that good and He is doing that much good in my life! :-D

I've detailed on here already just how encouraged I've been over the last few weeks of attending church, even when I have at times just not felt like going. It reminds me what Ps. Glyn Barrett said; that church "creates a rhythm" for your life.

Did you get that?

It doesn't just start a rhythm, or fix a rhythm, it creates it!

To "start" and to "create" are two very different concepts, my friends.

The Finger of God Has Writ!

'The finger of God', what an intriguing image that conjures up!

I'll tell you what, it reminds me of those programmes I used to find as a kid that warned of the danger of fireworks. I mean, who didn't write their name in the air at the bonfire on November the fifth as a child?

What about the programmes about wizards and stuff that used to feature the main character waving his or her fingers to cast some sort of a magical spell?

Now imagine for a moment that when we, as Christians, talk about God moving, this is one way in which He can, but is not limited to, move.

What image does that conjure up!

I'm already starting off strong today, so let's carry on and see where we end up.
