Towards the end of last year the price of fuel had sky rocketed to about 105 ksh per liter. It was during that season that some innovative Kenyans were featured in the local news because of a cheaper form of fuel they had come up with. These men were actually manufacturing bio- diesel from some seeds and selling it at a cheaper price and it was a hit among matatu drivers. I wonder what became of them now that the price of fuel has since gone down. We are so conditioned to think that cars can only run on petrol or diesel. Did you know there are cars on this planet that can run on water, solar, gas like the one you use to cook, bio diesel, paraffin, oil…..
What about you? What drives you? What source of power propels you? What gives you the strength to wake up every morning and do it all over again?
As Christians we live under grace and not under the law. We enjoy a certain freedom of choice and commitment.
1 Corinthians 6:12 (New International Version)
12"Everything is permissible for me"—but not everything is beneficial. "Everything is permissible for me"—but I will not be mastered by anything.
Paul reminds us that our choices and commitments while freely made do not always bring freedom. Often they overpower us. We no longer posses our possessions, they posses us and they become the reason we do what we do.
As Christians the only one who should power our life is Jesus Christ. Without Christ we should be like a car on an empty tank and not move a single inch.
Have you ever asked yourself how much is enough where this other things are concerned?
Where do you draw the line where the blessing is concerned?
If money was not the problem, how many suits would be enough? How many houses and cars would be enough?
If you had your dream job, how many hours of work would be enough?
What drives you this morning? Is it the blessor or the blessing?
Are you consumed with Christ or are you consumed by the blessing that comes with being affiliated with Christ?
There are many engines that can use various sources of power. Petrol diesel water gas paraffin bio-diesel……
As for me I have determined that as for me, my engine will only be powered by Christ power and that’s why my fuel tank reads Christ only
HIS OWN-It’s a title gotten from our daily life in the eyes of the people. I stand to be corrected; Things that Christian do to justify Salvation. Name them, what if all this are not observed? We think, practice, follow worldly things, is this ignorance or lack of Knowledge? LETS BE THE CHANGE THAT WE WANT TO SEE. Let’s start with. Whom does the Bible say I am?-In the time of Jesus and the Disciples, he asked them, "who do you think I am?” They had the answer. Let’s look at the Bible.
quote for the Day
Malachi 1:11
For from the rising of the sun even unto the going down of the same my name shall be great among the Gentiles; and in every place incense shall be offered unto my name, and a pure offering: for my name shall be great among the heathen, saith the LORD of hosts.
For from the rising of the sun even unto the going down of the same my name shall be great among the Gentiles; and in every place incense shall be offered unto my name, and a pure offering: for my name shall be great among the heathen, saith the LORD of hosts.
