! INTRODUCTION
//
How big is God to you? Do you see Him as
the One who inhabits eternity?
As the One who
holds the universe together by the power of His
Word?
If you do not see Him in this way, then God
is small to you.
Furthermore, your expectations
from Him are probably very small as well.
God
wants us to expect big things, wonderful things,
for our lives.
He longs to bless us in ways we
never thought possible.
He wants to revolutionize
our lives, our families, our churches, and our
nations with His power.
Many Christians, however, just stumble
through one day after the other.
There is no urgency
in their lives because they think things
will just keep going along as they are.
What a lie
they have received!
We have no idea of what tomorrow will
bring.
Therefore, as this booklet will discuss, we
ought to live in the urgency that this moment
may be our last.
With that, let’s have a tremendous
expectation that God will provide great things to His
children no matter what may come.
!! Chapter One
//
*HAVE AN ETERNAL VIEWPOINT*
//
“For all things are for your sakes, that the
abundant grace might through the thanksgiving
of many redound to the glory of God.
“For which cause we faint not; but though
our outward man perish, yet the inward man is
renewed day by day.
“For our light affliction, which is but for a
moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding
and eternal weight of glory;
“While we look not at the things which are
seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the
things which are seen are temporal; but the
things which are not seen are eternal”
(2 Corinthians 4:15-18).
//
“My times are in thy hand: deliver me from
the hand of mine enemies, and from them that
persecute me” (Psalm 31:15).
//
“Redeeming the time, because the days are
evil” (Ephesians 5:16).
//
God is no respecter of persons.
He lets the
rain come upon the just and the unjust (Matthew 5:45).
When disaster strikes, it affects godly
people and ungodly people alike.
None of us
knows when a storm may interrupt our life.
What causes storms?
Sometimes Satan is
allowed to do it.
Over the Sea of Galilee, the
prince of the power of the air was allowed to stir
up the weather as Jesus slept in the boat.
