ANCHOR 2018 ON CHRIST THE ROCK Sunday 14 January 2018 Lovemore Tafirenyika Makunike Servant of the Most High God Midrand Impact Christian Centre

In the Beginning Gen 1 v 1 “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters”.

Starting with His Word John 1:1-4 “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men”. Proverbs 18:21 “Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof”

Beginning 2018 with God We can begin 2018 ritualistically as we did in 2017 before defaulting to comfort zone with generic new year resolutions Preparation is always your prophesy. You cannot expect a photo-finish from a “laisser-faire” or “lackadaisical” start

Jason Hardin Suggestion for 2018 “What if we put God at the beginning of every aspect of our lives from the beginning of 2018? At the beginning of: Every day Every major decision Every action Every interaction Every reaction Every conversation Every confrontation Every dream Every motive Every heartache Every triumph”

PURPOSE NOT TO START 2018 IN CONFUSION If you don’t know where you are going… No, this way No, no, THIS! way This way You are here “As you think about your goals, note that they should be Clear enough to be kept in focus Close enough to be achieved Helpful enough to change lives”. DR JOHN MAXWELL ...any road will take you there

YOUR 2018 CAPACITY IS IN CHRIST 1 John 4:4 “ Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world”. Phillipians 4:13 “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me”.

Making Christ the Rock Your Foundation in 2018 Matthew 7:24-27 24 “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. 26 But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. 27 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.”

WAITING UPON THE LORD Isaiah 40:31 “But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint”.

TAKE A LEAP OF FAITH IN 2018

THE FULNESS OF LIFE IN THE WORD IS IN CALCULATED RISKS – DO THE WORD

In Conclusion “Think success, don’t think failure. At work, in your home, substitute success thinking for failure thinking. When you face a difficulty think “I will win” not I’ll probably lose.” When you compete with someone else, think, “I’m equal to the best” not “I’m outclassed” When opportunity appears think “I can do it” never “I can’t” Let the master thought “I-will succeed” dominate your thinking process ”.
