RISING UP-IN SPITE OF (RISING UP-REGARDLESS OF)


 RISING UP-IN SPITE OF (RISING UP-REGARDLESS OF)
(Doing it Afraid)

Rising up in spite of:
· A threatening disease in you life
· Bad things said about you, all the negative staff.
· Poverty
· The bad SA economy
· Jobless
· Neglected by friends and family
· Hurt in your life
· Discouragement from people

And Marching to do all these things you are afraid to do

Doing those things while you are afraid;
· While you are afraid of failure
· While you are afraid of being laughed
· While you are afraid of the unforeseen situations

Luke 15: 11-24
11 Jesus continued: “There was a man who had two sons.

12 The younger one said to his father, ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.’ So he divided his property between them.

13 “Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, set off for a distant country and there he squandered his wealth in wild living.

14 After he had spent everything, there was a severe famine in that whole country, and he began to be in need.

15 So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed pigs.

16 He longed to fill his stomach with the pods that the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anyting.

17 When he came to his senses, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired men have food to spare, and here I am starving to death!

18 I will arise and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you.

19 I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired men.

20 So he got up and went to his father. “But while he was a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.

21 “The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’

22 “But his father said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet.

23 “‘Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let’s have a feast and celebrate.

24 “‘For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ So the began to celebrate.”

·       You can take a stand today
·       Stop blaming others for your downfall
·       You are the solution
·       Rise up
·       Forget about those who speaks about you
·       They will ever speak
