From July's WACA Roster
"Magic is something someone does for you; Miracle is something God empowers you to do" Ps James Macpherson.
The bible is loaded with examples of countless miracles performed through the hands of His people. The feeding of the 5000 is one of the most insane miracles ever performed. A small amount of food is blessed to provide nourishment for the masses all from 5 small loaves and 2 small fish. Matt 6 tells of how Jesus took the small that they had, blessed it and then distributed the blessing through their hands.
As the disciples distributed out of what they had, God blessed it and gave them more "to be a blessing." Here are two Thoughts on this:
1. God blesses people who give out of what they have: "He gives seed to the sower." God wants us to give out of the overflow of our heart, we need to be full of God so that we don't become burnt out and dry from doing the work of God. Remember the disciples took up 12 baskets full of broken pieces.
2. Position yourself around people in need. The food stopped multiplying when the people were satisfied. God will continue to bless you and your possessions when you are in a position to bless others with what you have. Think of the old widow with the small amount of oil left in a jar. As she poured the oil out it kept flowing until all the jars she had were full, then the oil stopped.
Let's be a team that continually gives out of the overflow of what God is doing in our lives and position ourselves around people who we can bless for the glory of God.

Who are you
My senior pastor reminded me today, "It's not what you have, the better question is what are you doing with what you have.."
It's a great thought. I've met many people throughout life's journey already that I thought were the most talented people I've ever met, then you see them 10 years down the track and they haven't really done much with everything they had going for them.
Sometimes I reflect on my own life and think the same thing, "10 years Chad and this is all you have?"
It's in that moment that I realise just what I do have. I might not be where I want to be, but praise God I'm not back where I once was. I haven't yet fullfilled the expectation, but praise God He has allowed me to take another step...

"He who would do some great thing in this short life must apply himself with such a concentration of his forces as, to idle spectators, who live only to amuse themselves, looks like insanity." - John Foster

Sign of Greatness
You know you've made it big when people say...
"If C.S Lewis burped, I'd buy it..." Ps James Macpherson of Mr Lewis.
A clear sign of greatness....
I wonder what people would do if I belched...

Success is productivity blessed by God
A small section of Ps James Macpherson's notes from today's staff meeting.
2 Corinthians 9v8-10
"And God is able to provide you with every blessing in abundance, so that you may always have enough of everything and may provide in abundance for every good work. As it is written; 'He scatters abroad, He gives to the poor; His righteousness endures forever.' He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supplu and multiply your resources and increase the harvest of your righteousness."
Success is the result of planning, hard work and follow through. The scripture promises that God will give supernatural help to the sower. God can bless our productivity but not our laziness.

Plant an act, harvest a habit
Plant a habit, harvest a character
Plant a character, harvest a destiny"

One Way
A new video which features popular talk show host Oprah Winfrey denying Jesus as the only way to God has received over 5 million views on several reporting video sites including youtube. It was posted on June 2nd but since been removed due to violation of site policy.
During the video, viewers are shown a clip of a previous show where Oprah blatantly denies Jesus as the only way to God. "How can there be only one way to heaven or to God?" Oprah asked the audience. When asked by a woman in the audience, "What about Jesus?" Oprah responded, "What about Jesus? There couldn't possibly be one way."
As the video is no longer able to be viewed, I cannot say that everything mentioned in the article is truth, however, the startling truth remains "that out of the heart the mouth speaks."
There is only way way to heaven. The reason for that is there is only one God; one God in heaven. If we do not have relationship with Him, why would we expect to be able to live with Him?
You would not expect to live in the house you do with your spouse or your housemate if you did not have relationship with them and the bible is clear. Sin has seperated us from God, and we do not have relationship with Him. Jesus came and made a way for us to get back in relationship with God. There is no other way.
