All have Potential for Greatness!

jeffclay — Sun, 06 Jun 2010 00:21:03 +0000

photo credit: MikeWebkistI spoke today at the Cloudsprings Baptist Car Show and I encouraged those in attendance that they have the potential for greatness within them.
I am persuaded that God has placed within us all, potential to do great things in this life. Every child that is born I believe has placed within their DNA certain God-given gifts, talents and abilities. I also believe it is in our Creators heart that we should use them for the betterment of mankind and not simply use them for base- gain!
This life can be tough and even brutal as we grow up. Through our life we all have experienced negative people who have discouraged us in words or in their actions. We all must be very careful how we react when people tell us what they would like to accomplish and the goals they are setting in life. Sometimes it only takes a simple lifting of the eye-brow in a disbelieving way to curtail someones dream.
On the other side of that coin it is just as powerful to give a simple word of encouragement and see how that seed grows into a might tree of an idea that could potentially change our World!
We have within us words that can create life or death with those that we have a measure of influence with so we must be extremely careful.
Finally, if someone has spoken a negative word into your life that has caused you to store your dreams, goals and aspirations in the closet and you are sitting on the couch of contentment you must realize that the only person that can keep you from attaining your goals is the person you stare at every morning you look into that mirror.
Begin to shout at him/her to get off of the sidelines of life and get back into the game and go for IT!

It’s not WHY but WHAT!

I was looking back on my journey of faith and remembering all of the tough times that I had experienced and how the Lord had brought me through them all. Fortunately through these difficult times I have seen some growth in my spiritual walk.
Early on in my faith when something difficult came out of left field and blind-sided me, I often asked, WHY! Why me Lord, why now, why not someone else, why do I have to go through this, why not him or her? We have all asked the age old question of, “why does bad things happen to good people?” The answer is very simple, It is because of sin which came through the fall of the first man Adam. The Bible says, It rains on the just and the unjust.” However, as a Christian we can have confidence that when some trial, trouble or even tragedy happens in our lives God will use it to strengthen our faith and mature us as men and women of God! The Bible says again, ” all things work together for good to those who love Him (God) and are called according to His purpose.” In Christ we are encompassed by His Grace. Nothing is allowed in that circle of protection unless God allows it and if He allows it then He is looking for a child who will say WHAT instead of Why! What is it Lord that you are trying to teach me, what is it Lord that I need to understand, what do I need to do, what is it in my life that you are trying to work out? These are the words of faith and submission our Father wants to hear.
As a natural and earthly dad I am appreciative of my childrens faith in me to always try and do good unto them. I have been consistent in my love toward them and because of this they have grown to trust what I say. When I tell them to do something my kids do not ask WHY they ask WHAT. What can I do to help you daddy. Now if that makes a human dad proud can you imagine how proud your Heavenly Father will be when you and I consistantly say WHAT.
So, when you are going through it and the walls seem to be caving in, you may feel as though you are hanging on the ropes in the 15th round, or you feel that you simply cannot go on any more, this is the moment when you and I need to say, WHAT Lord.

Location: Gilbert Elementary School
Description:
I had the priviledge of being the Keynote motivational speaker for the graduating 5th grade class at Gilbert Elementary in Lafayette. I encouraged the kids that they have \”Greatness\” within them and to continue \”getting over\” life\’s hurdles as they move into Middle School and continue making courageous decisions and being leaders wherever they go!The kids responded well and seemed to enjoy the video of my car hurdling footage and seemed to really receive the message. It is my hope and prayers, that they did get it and continue to, “Just Get Over IT!”
Principal Haynes commented, “Thank you so much for joining us today at Gilbert Elementary School. Your message was very inspirational to all in attendance. Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to visit our 5th grade promotion and celebration. Take care!”

Appreciation of Students

Location: Ringgold Elementary School
Description: The presentation is just what the students and teachers needed this time of year. It was inspirational and you made true connections with many in attendance. Our students come from a variety of backgrounds and it was a positive experience for them to see a successful person who came from a challenging situation. The message “Just Get Over It” applied not only to the students, but to the teachers as well. I feel that your message has the potential to have a lifelong affect on many in attendance today. The video and your speech were both appropriate for the situation. Even though it wasn’t supposed to be part of the program, thanks for jumping the table when prompted by the students. Amazing!

Mission Trip

Location: Kenya Africa
Description: I have an amazing opportunity to return to Kenya in February 2010. I will have the unique opportunity to share the Gospel with a nomadic tribe of people, who are known as the Turkanna. They are cousins to the Musai warriors. We have the honor of taking the Jesus video to them, translated in their own language, so they could hear and see the Gospel for the first time in most of their lives.

We will have to travel 2 1/2 days after we arrive just to get to their tribe in the bush country. This will mean some true outdoor camping and most of you know that my type of camping is in a Holiday Express It will be a physically challenging trip to endure but I am praying and trusting for many souls to come to Christ.

The National Pastor I have worked with over the past 4 years has planted one of his graduate Pastors with the Turkanna Tribe. He has been building relationship with then for over a year now by caring for their personal needs. We are trusting with this unconditional love; they will now be receptive to our Lord\’s unconditional love and Grace!

I am equally excited that I will be able to share this experience with my oldest daughter Anna! She has a real desire and burden for the children there and has been tithing over the last four years to help feed the children in Siaya where I will be leading a Crusade in their Market Place before we come back home.

Please consider praying for this trip, our safety and for the Holy Spirit to begin working to prepare their hearts to receive the Gospel message. I am believing for dozens and even hundreds of souls to be saved!
If you have a passion to see souls saved and a desire to invest financially toward our trip, we would be grateful and I am confident your investment will have eternal consequences! Thank you in advance for your thoughtful prayers.

Asante Sana,
(Thank you very much)
