Bloom where you are planted (Talk 2).

[Rev. Dr. Joe Joseph]

Once you know the crisis, how are you going to bloom?
Let us take the example of Abraham. He is the man who had an internal clarity with an external action.

Two things in Abraham, that will help us bloom conscience independent will God gave him. (independent will is the ability to respond, rather than to react).
Church is the only organization that exists for it’s non-members.

1. Abraham and Sarah form the ideal couple.
• Abraham comes home one day and tells Sarah to pack her bags. She follows him without knowing where.
• Abraham and Sarah are promised a son. But Sarah laughs.
• The promise is made when Abraham was 75 years old, and he has a son when is 100 years old.
• Sarah didn’t understand what God intended. So she had her husband have a son with her servant maid.
2. Abraham gets a son after 25 years of being promised. But still when he is asked to sacrifice his son, he responds. He didn’t react by asking God questions.
   When you respond, rather than react, you are proactive.
   

Can you envisage a future with God?
Always remember and follow "There is nothing that I and God cannot accomplish together."
