THE POWER OF CHANGE

What does change mean?

Change, adjust, bend, transform, revolutionize

The greatest gift that God can offer you is to push you into crisis of temporary discomfort that requires you to fly your wings –Pastor T. Ncanana

Our mentality is exposed to certain things, and then we think we are better- , what does this mean? According to our knowledge and perception we think and weigh things in that level. Our frame of reference which is our attitudes, values, mindset, and teachings, our experiences, are what forms or shapes our opinions.

If we don’t develop or challenge our lives to go to another level, we will never grow. This means that most of us need to get out of our comfort zones, do something that will challenge you and will make you uncomfortable. As long as you are comfortable you are on the same level.

 Each person as we have been saying in the past sermons is designed to be dependant, interdependent and eventually become independent. Like a baby eagle that firsts, it starts by depending on its mother for food and nurturing, at some point the mother eagle, get tired of feeding them and realise that it’s time for them to fly and bring their own food. So it makes the environment uncomfortable by putting thorns in the nest. By doing this, the baby eagles become uncomfortable and they are pushed to fly.

The same with us people, change comes through discomfort in the environment that we are in.  Situations that we go through force us to change and do something we’ve never done. “To get what you’ve never had, we have to do what we’ve never done”. Potential doesn’t just ooze out; it has to be pushed out, by challenges and situations. In the middle of a situation one must decide that this is not who they are and where they are going. Change always brings famine and a shift in the environment/ atmosphere. This is a sign that change is coming.

This calls for knowing the level that you are in and doing something to change your situation. If you resist change, you will pay the price. If we don’t obey or hear God, we will always remain in the same level, but in order to get something, you have to do something.

We need to adjust to change so that we can walk in to the promises of God and our season. Allowing change will let you receive the things God has for your life. God will always tell you to do something that will make you uncomfortable. When you look at your situation, you will think you cannot do this and you’ll ask how but God sees that you can. God would not demand something of you that you cannot do.
