It’s just a one-dimensional working life if we only rely on skills, qualifications and experience.
Connected to Christ during our working day brings us infinite possibilities from heaven, our spiritual home.
Like a Golden Thread in the mess of life…
Illness, fear, sadness, accident, death, crisis, disappointments…
God remains the One Constant of…
Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.
That’s why I love Him with all my heart, all my mind, all my soul and all my strength.
If you want the One Constant in your life today…
Just ask The Holy Spirit to be your friend.
He’s waiting for you!
A view from heaven
I am not a word that I would stay in a book,
Or a book itself that I would stay on a shelf.
Hem Me in and I’ll break out,
Lock Me in and I’ll break free,
Try to imprison Me yet I’ll be free in no time.
You can’t lock Me into the past,
Just try keeping Me out of the present,
Try guarding Me from the future and you’ll fail every time.
Don’t try locking Me into your mind,
I hate small, confined spaces!
My playground is the wide-open spaces,
You can’t put Me in a box!
I roam free and I roam far,
I love what is small and large..
…all things and all people.
I am not a scent to be kept in a bottle,
Not a polish kept in a tin,
I am all things, to all things,
The beginning and the end,
I created them all.
I could put you in a box,
Hem you in and control you,
Yet I created you for myself,
Not as a plaything to use and abuse.
To be just like Me.
To run free, work and create,
Love others in bubbles of joy,
Not be in a box.
Think big, not small,
Flowing with My Spirit.
So, do not:
Be put in a box, confined to tight structures,
Think according to your own mind,
Be constrained by the past,
Be locked into things
Become stagnant.
And do:
Run with My Spirit,
Renew your mind in My word,
Lean into the future,
Delight in Me, not in things,
And flow in My eternal river.
God
You are the freshness in my life.
A flowing River of Delights through all seasons.
That constantly nourishes my soul.
As I thirst after our togetherness.
Thank you!
When we magnify people, we diminish ourselves.
When we magnify God, He is magnified.
And so are we! Father God magnifies us in return, saying, “You are my child, in whom I delight.”
“And as Christ himself is seen for who he really is, who you really are will also be revealed, for you are now one with him in his glory!” (Colossians 3:4)
A special identity indeed!

Autumn leaves, Fallen and discarded, They lie crestfallen and dirty. Their wondrous colours fading into the night. Silent and dead they appear, When all ‘ a sudden they’re woken! They stir, float and fly, are diligently gathered and powerfully charged With Love’s passionate zeal. A riotous throng, tumultuous…

Revelation is like flowing water.
Capture it whilst you can.
Then in dryer seasons it’s there to satisfy thirst.
One day I was thinking of all the bad news on TV.
“It’s just one view they’re presenting” I told myself.
And I ached for God’s perspective on events, asking Him to “grow my sense of being seated in heavenly places.” (Ephesians 2:6)
Then I realised that He’s already doing that and thanked Him for it. And I told myself, “don’t ask for something when He’s already at work doing it.”
You see, thanking Him from a place of ‘knowing’ is superior to asking from a place of ‘need’. For if we keep asking for what we already have, we are choosing poverty.
It’s like asking for food when the table in front of us is laden with every morsel we could ever wish for.
Thanking God for being rich is the road to receiving the ‘abundant life’ that Christ has won for us all. Asking in poverty merely gives our enemy a foothold to ‘kill, steal and destroy’. (John 10:10, Ephesians 4:27)
Let’s not do that!
Instead, join me today in thanking God that we are rich in every way in Christ. (Philippians 4:19)
And let’s keep thanking Him everyday!
A major bank ran this ad line:
“Success is being the best in the business.”
Not for the Kingdom Builder it isn’t!
In fact, competition doesn’t come into it at all. Cooperation with the Holy Spirit is the essential requirement.
“Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.”
Christ is the King and it’s His kingdom company we build, not our own.
So, success starts with knowing Jesus.
Like He said,
“Apart from me you can do nothing.”
Bible Quotes
Galatians 5:25
John 15:5
Jesus has won a place for us in heaven!
“And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him
in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus.”
Kingdom Builders in the business and working community reside in heaven with Christ, and God uses their business activities as a vehicle through which Kingdom culture flows into the earth.
Success is less dependant upon the practice of a ‘marketing & sales’ strategy and more on spiritual position first and subsequent spiritual mobility.
“For in him we live and move and have our being.”
For, just like a yacht moves in the water by the wind against its sails, so the Holy Spirit blows the Kingdom Business towards the direction of the Father’s specified requirements. That is, Kingdom impact upon the people community.
“My father is always at work.”
Our Father longs to unleash His Spirit into the business and working community, and Kingdom Businesses are a vehicle of His choice.
