Escape Velocity...Prophetic Momentum

Escape Velocity...a life carrying prophetic momentum 

New Year’s day, 2011, I was driving my car back home from Sheffield city centre, playing a worship CD, which my dear wife gave me as a birthday present. I changed the CD over to the radio to listen to some news. I am not sure which FM station it was but there was a great discussion taking place about New Year resolutions and how can you make it possible by feeling good. There was a guest psychotherapist talking to different listeners, answering their questions and prescribing right solutions. People were asking different questions, like how can you overcome the state of feeling low?
One of the answers she gave was, if you feel low, do whatever makes you FEEL GOOD
  1. Hug your cat or dog
  2. Drink a hot chocolate when you are having a bath.
  3. Hold your teddy bear or pillow for some time.
  4. Try FB
  5. Or watch Jeremy Karl on TV, then you can see that you’re not like ‘those people’; that should make you feel good

Do it till you feel the FEEL GOOD feeling. That is it, resolved.

Power of Mentoring

 





One day, while I was resting after a leaders’ conference, a young minister came to me and asked the secret of being a wonderful minister. My first question was, “Who is your Leader?” Many give me this answer …. Jesus!! “That is good, but is there anyone else?” NOOOO...I have only one leader and that is Jesus. I heard the same answer many times. I started to talk to the young man, who was energetic, passionate, full of dreams, and crazy for Jesus, but he was hurt in many areas. When I was sharing the power of mentoring and being mentored, he was a little bit upset and angry about his leader, because he was not loved or mentored by his leader, who instead was acting like a military general!!
