Getting Older, And Better.

â€˜For as the days of a tree, so will be the days of My people; My chosen ones will long enjoy the work of their hands.' Isaiah 65:22 NIV

In 1968 a scientist discovered a six-hundred-year-old necklace in a Native American grave. It was made up of seeds which had been strung together. He planted one of those seeds, and guess what happened: it sprouted and grew. Although the seed had been dormant for six hundred years, it still had the potential for life.

Maybe you have been a Christian for years and have been spiritually dormant for most of that time, but now you would like to be productive. You desire to be fruitful. The good news is, it's not too late! You can begin right now. â€˜The righteous will flourish like a palm tree planted in the house of the Lord, they will flourish in the courts of our God. They will still bear fruit in old age, they will stay fresh and green, proclaiming, "The Lord is upright; He is my Rock."' (Psalm 92:12-15 NIV)

Did you know that a palm tree produces its greatest harvest of fruit in its final years? That can be your destiny too. â€˜For as the days of a tree, so will be the days of My people; My chosen ones will long enjoy the work of their hands.' That Scripture means bunions, bifocals, and baldness notwithstanding, your last season of life can be your greatest season of life. It may take you longer to do what you do, but fuelled with the wisdom of God's Word and the years you have walked with Him, you can still make a mark for God in this world.

UNCOVERING EVIL

The presence of the supernatural power of God in a church can take that church beyond limits.
It can also uproot the presence of evil in the midst of Gods children. In Acts 5, a couple were uprooted through this. If we are going to sanitise the church, we need the Holy Spirit. Just as we need Him to heal, save...More
