4 D's Desire

I really look forward to blogging about Leadership Principles, but more importantly about the one who created them all. Prior to falling in love with Christ I was growing up to be a business man. I wanted to grow, develop, and help others do the same. After years of chasing success, God gifted me with a mentor who actually starting using the Bible to teach success principles. Time after time I was amazed at how the scripture was so clearly stating some success concept that I had learned. After awhile I realized that all of it was from HIM. This posed another question for me,"Who was HE?!!" Who was the man behind all of this revelation and guidance that could help with health, marriages, finances, and every other thing worthwhile? That was when I started to commit my life to Jesus Christ and live my life for HIM as He did for me and all of us.
My bent will be to share these worldy concepts and show how they tie into scripture or truthfully more how scripture ties into the world. The first will be a lesson I love called the 4 D's. We will cover one at a time.
1. DESIRE!! All of our dreams start as a desire that has been gifted to us from God. These desires are meant to carry us from the baggage of our past and bring us into a situation in which God is glorified by our lives.
Isaiah 60:1 Arise from the depression and prostration in which circumstances have kept you-rise to a new life! Shine be radiant with the glory of the Lord, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you!
How great is that! Our light has come! The glory of the Lord has risen upon us! That sounds like someone who has been given the opportunity to dream. To take that initial spark of a desire and rise up into the new day into the new season. To get rid of all the past depression and things that have held us back!
Also..
Phil. 4:13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
Notice it says "ALL THINGS". Now if Jesus says no to something, then I think we can all agree to shut that door and look for where He would prefer for us to be. But have you ever shut your own desire down? Have you ever shut your own door? We need to fan those flames and glorify HIM through our actions to the call. Jesus Christ can allow us to have a desire to be able to dream again. Now is the time!
