1 Kings 18:41 KJV — And Elijah said unto Ahab, Get thee up, eat and drink; for there is a sound of abundance of rain.

Are you listening to the sound of crickets, the sound of nothing appearing to work, “yet again”…

Or are you listening to the sound of the abundance of rain, the sound of what you see on the inside being made manifest on the outside?

What are you listening to?

Mark 10:15 KJV — Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.

A bag of Krispy Kreme donuts. 27 shares in Apple. Tickets to the World Cup Finals. An all expenses paid trip around the world. A 7 course meal in a 3 Michelin star restaurant. An hour in a zero gravity environment. A cup of tea and a plate of chocolate biscuits. The Edge’s favourite guitar, signed by all of U2. A 60 minute hangout session with a celebrity/ famous personality of your choice. Any gift or experience worth up to £379,000.

Now for your 2 options to do with this list.

Explain any one of these…or…Receive any one of these.

Which option would you choose?

The answer of course is: receive.

Jesus proclaimed, explained and demonstrated the Kingdom of God with such clarity that even a child can understand it.

Kingdom of God = Awesome!

Question: will you receive it?

Proverbs 9:6 KJV — Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.

So you can live. That’s why you forsake the foolish ideas, people and practices that you’re allowing to live as squatters in your life.

Forsake them, stop holding onto them, and let them go.

Life in all its fulness is waiting on the other side of that decision.

Deuteronomy 8:18 KJV — But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.

That was a famous song back in the 1980s.

It’s also a statement of fact that is true, regardless of whether you’re experiencing it.

You’ve got the power to get wealth.

You’ve got it because God has given it to you.

Believing this is the first step to benefiting from it.

Proverbs 7:8 KJV — Passing through the street near her corner; and he went the way to her house,

The harlot didn’t come to the young man’s house. He went the way to her house.

A lot of success or failure comes down to time and place.

Be in the right place at the right time.

The dark of night isn’t meant to be spent in the company of strange women.

Titus 3:4 KJV — But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,

Before, we were a mess, with no hope, totally depraved and fast tracking ourselves to an eternity separated from God.

But after…

It’s not what happened before that has the final say, it’s what comes after that makes all the difference.

2 Peter 3:15 KJV — And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;

And against the odds, the Lord transformed the murderer Saul into the beloved brother Paul.

No matter what you’ve done or continue to do, the Lord has a fresh start ready, and waiting for you.

Say “Yes” to the Lord today (Romans 10:9-10).

Proverbs 4:1 KJV — Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding.

The famous composer, John Williams on his father:

My father was a brilliant psychologist. He was not a sort to lock you in a cold room and say you’ve got to do an hour’s scales every day. He said, “You’ve really got a talent. I think you could be really good and you should practice some each day. Just do half an hour every day and it will be enough.” So I used to do half an hour’s practice a day, that’s all. He just had to guide me and teach me but he didn’t interfere a lot.

Proverbs 3:1 KJV — My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:

According to Google Bard:

Natural laws are well-established principles that describe consistent patterns in the natural world. They are based on extensive observation, experimentation, and evidence. Unlike human-made laws, they don’t dictate what should happen, but rather explain how the universe seems to function consistently.

God’s law, the Word of God, not only produced these laws…but it governs these laws.

Psalm 23:5 KJV — Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

The table was being prepared in the Old Testament. Now, the table is ready in the New Testament.

All has been made ready. Come and eat.
