GOD NEEDS YOU! THE DOMINO EFFECT: HERE GOD, HERE ---

SEVERAL YEARS AGO WE HEARD: PAY IT FORWARD?

The Bible speaks of making a difference.

Jude 1:22 And of some have compassion, making a difference:

The inverse of this is true: Some do not have compassion and they will not make a difference. The choice is up to you. WE RISE BY LIFTING OTHERS! PAY IT FORWARD: ONE ACT OF KINDNESS CAN GO A LONG WAY. ONE PERSON CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

IS IT EASIER TO MAKE A BUCK THAN IT IS TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE? WHAT AM I CONTRIBUTING TO MAKE OUR FAMILY, OUR CHURCH AND OUR NATION BETTER?

Galatians 6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. 8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. 9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

LET US BE HONEST: SEEMS EVERYONE THINKS OF CHANGING THE WORLD, BUT FEW THINK OF CHANGING SELF? COULD YOU MAKE A POSITIVE IMPACT ON ONE PERSON?

*JOHN F. KENNEDY SAID: ASK NOT WHAT YOUR COUNTRY CAN DO FOR YOU; ASK WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR YOUR COUNTRY.

JFK: ONE PERSON CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE, AND EEVERYONE SHOULLD TRY.

*SUPEREME COURT JUDGE: RUTH BADER GINSBURG

FIGHT FOR THE THINGS THAT YOU CARE ABOUT. BUT DO IT IN A WAY THAT WILL LEAD OTHERS TO JOIN YOU.

WE RISE BY LIFTING OTHERS! PAY IT FORWARD: ONE ACT OF KINDNESS CAN GO A LONG WAY. ONE PERSON CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

PERHAPS ONE PERSON CAN NOT CHANGE THE WHOLE WORLD? GOD’S LOVE CAN HELP YOU BECOME THE WORLD TO ONE PERSON. IF EACH ONE REACHED ONE KINDNESS CAN

CONSIDER THE DOMINO EFFECT: BE AN IGNITOR: BE AN INITIATOR TO INSPIRE OTHERS. GOD HELP US GIVE HOPE.

Oprah Winfrey was travel on a TOLL ROAD in the north east. She stopped to pay her toll, and the lady said: SOME MAN AHEAD OF YOU PAID THE TOLL FOR YOU. Oprah drove away and thought about it. She turned around and went back and paid the toll for the next 100 cars. Look what one act of kindness did? PAY IT FORWARD.

ONE MAN MADE A DIFFERENCE. GOD EXTENDED AN INVITATION TO HIS FRIEND THAT MADE A DIFFERENCE. . GOD CAME DOWN TO EARTH AND WALKED AND TALKED WITH A MAN THAT MADE A DIFFERENCE. GOD SAID: ENOCH TOMORROW WHAY DON’T YOU COME TO MY HOUSE ---

Genesis 5:22 And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters: 23 And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years:

24 And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.

ENOCH WAS ADAM’S GREAT GRANDSON. ENOCH MADE A GREAT DIFFERENCE AND WAS GOD’S FRIEND.

CONSIDER ELIJAH. HE MADE A DIFFERENCE WHILE SERVING UNDER IN UNDER ONE OF THE OF WORSE KING AND QUEEN, AAAHAB AND JEZEBEL. ELIIJAH’S WORK HAD A RIPPLE EFFECT OF COMPASSION FOR THE WHOLE NATION OF ISRAEL.

Ask Elijah: CAN ONE PERSON MAKE A DIFFERENCE? His answer: SURE THEY CAN --- HOW? Elijah warns AHAB the same dogs that licked Nabboth’s blood will lick yours. Jezebel was a woman of manipulation and idolatry --- faces a terrible death: THE DOG’S not only lick her blood they eat all but feet, hands and head.

2 Kings 9:35 And they went to bury her: but they found no more of her than the skull, and the feet, and the palms of her hands.

HOW CAN I MAKE A DIFFERENCE?

Luke 6:38 Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.

One makes a difference by loving people and by being kind. In the Bible we see people make a difference by taking God’s 3 gifts (TIME, TALENT AND ENERGY) TO BE MOTIVATED AND GIVE ACTION TO BRING ABOUT POSITIVE ATTITUDES AND CHANGES. We can give hope by VOLUNTEERING, TEACHING AND SETTING AN EXAMPLE FOR OTHERS TO FOLLOW.

JESUS IS TIRED BUT HE KNOWS THERE IS A HOPELESS LADY DESPISED BECAUSE OF HER SINFUL CHOICES. JESUS CARES… THIS LADY IS GOING TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE. ONE LADY BRINGS THE WHOLE TOWN TO JESUS.

John 4:4 And he must needs go through Samaria.

John 4:28 The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men, 29 Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ? 30 Then they went out of the city, and came unto him.
