C.R.E.A.M. II

Christ Rules Everything Around Me, part II.

When Jesus is at the center, things will always circle back to Him no matter the circumstance. I released two newsletters and stopped for two months 🫣 Can you relate? Stopping something you were once so confident in doing, but gradually slowing down, then eventually stopping. Sometimes it’s out of fear, doubt, or unsurety. Other times it’s simply because you may not feel like it. Either way, it’s disobedience regardless of the intent.

One thing that has blessed me is understanding that Kingdom Publicity is not just for me, but it’s a representation of the Kingdom. This shift can also bless you and what God has called you to do. When you think about the Kingdom of Heaven, I want you to think about excellence, perseverance, and FORCE. Too often we say we’re waiting on God, when He already threw us the ball. Once He does His part and throws you the alley oop, it’s time to shoot!

All throughout the Bible we see examples of partnership between God & man. Don’t get caught up in the “waiting on God” excuse if He has already planted the seeds to get started. Trust me, I’ve been there and that’s why no matter how many times I have to pivot in order to realign, I will do it to avoid from completely stopping. I encourage you today to do the same. Be encouraged! The beautiful thing is that as a child of God, our Father is loving and merciful. Repent, pivot, and start taking steps towards where He is directing you. Don’t know where to start? The secret place. Even if you feel like you’re already heading in the right direction, it never hurts to stop and make sure you’re including God in the details.

When Christ rules everything around you, that doesn’t mean sprinkling Him into life when it’s convenient, but rather allowing Him to be your compass of direction at all times, in every area of life. To rule means to exercise ultimate power or authority over (an area and its people). Some synonyms include: to govern, lead, dominate, direct, manage, and reign. Ask yourself if this is the case in your mind, heart, business, relationships, influence, opportunities, etc.

Without Christ at the center, it is easier to become distracted with busyness and things that don’t matter. A good idea is not necessarily a God idea, but without being in alignment you can lack the discernment to know the difference.

📖 Matthew 11:12

And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.

📖 John 15:1-8

“I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. 2 Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branchthat bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit. 3 You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. 4 Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me.

5 “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. 6 If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw theminto the fire, and they are burned. 7 If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. 8 By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.

📖 Isaiah 30:21

Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying,
“This is the way, walk in it,”
 Whenever you turn to the right hand
 or whenever you turn to the left.
