CONTEMPLATIVE NARRATIVES

Senior Pastor Daniel O. C. | Mar 21, 2025

Beloved Saint of God Most High,

Calvary greetings to you and yours in the mighty name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, Amen!
May the Lord God Almighty bless you with a wonderful and glorious Christ-centred week-end ahead in Jesus’ mighty name, Amen!

“’Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you,
Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’
‘Behold, all those who were incensed against you shall be ashamed and disgraced; they shall be as nothing, and those who strive with you shall perish.
You shall seek them and not find them—Those who contended with you. Those who war against you shall be as nothing, as a non-existent thing.
For I, the Lord your God, will hold your right hand,’ saying to you, ‘Fear not, I will help you’” (Isaiah 41:10-13).

Fear not for there is nothing to fear, for Adonai Yahweh is with you.
Do not look around you in terror and be dismayed, for He is your God.
He will strengthen and harden you to difficulties. Yes, He will help you.
Yes, He will hold you up and retain you with His victorious right hand of rightness and justice.
Behold, all they who are enraged and inflamed against you shall be put to shame and confounded.
Those who strive against you shall be as nothing and shall perish.
You shall seek those who contend with you but shall not find them.
They who war against you shall be as nothing, as nothing at all!
For the Lord your God holds your right hand; He is the Lord, Who says to you, Fear not; He will help you!

CONTEMPLATIVE NARRATIVES

F-E-A-R has two meanings:
“Forget Everything And Run” or “Face Everything And Rise”.
The choice is yours.

There are 4 types of wealth:

Financial wealth – Money
Social wealth – Status
Time wealth – Freedom
Physical wealth – Health
Be cautious of jobs that offer you 1 and 2 but rob you of 3 and 4.

Heart wants love, mind wants success and soul wants peace.
Two things prevent us from happiness: Living in the past and Observing others.
Some families do not need to exchange gifts for Christmas.
They need to exchange apologies, settle old disputes, make peace, forgive and seek healing.
These would be truly blessed gifts indeed!

What Is Life?
People say it is from B to D, from Birth to Death. But what is between B and D? it is a “C”. So, what does “C” stands for?
It represents “Choice”. Our life is a matter of choices. Live well and it will never go wrong.

Goal without Deadline = Fantasy
Goal + Deadline = Objective
Goal + Deadline + Plan = Intention
Goal + Deadline + Plan + Consistent Action = Success
Meaningful Goals + Deadline + Plan + Consistent Action = Fulfilment

Until you have an encounter with God, you will not understand those who cannot stop talking about Jesus.
All you will see is religion. Not understanding Jesus is the furthest thing from religion.

Disrespect will close doors that Apologies cannot reopen. Let that sink in.
People with the biggest hearts attract the most draining, disloyal, disrespectful and difficult people.
Progress requires daily action.
Change your opinions, keep to your principles; change your leaves, keep intact your roots.
