Incremental Releases

By

“He tells us everything over and over—
one line at a time, one line at a time, a little here, and a little there!” Isa.28:10

A lot of the time, we are too cautious; waiting for things to be perfect. We want to dot the I’s and cross the T’s. Note this, if you wait to dot all the “I’s” and cross all the “T’s”, by the time you are ready, it will be too late. In fact someone said relating to software programming, “If you are proud of your first release, you released it too late”. The first page release of some of these social media sites was ugly but they shipped anyway. It is called incremental releases. I am a huge supporter of rapid application development, which is, release the code quickly so that users engage it and give you feedback. Instead of staying in a cocoon and thinking you have all the solutions. Then by the time you release the solution it does not even fit the target market.

God does incremental releases. God does not wait until we are perfect before He uses us. He pushes you out even while you are saying you are not ready. Then He sorts out this and that, line upon line, precept upon precept, a little here and a little there. Then ten years down the line, people look at you and you are an overnight success. Yeah right! Or someone else says I want to do exactly what you did. That is fine - try it.

God does not wait for us to be perfect before He calls us. He loves us too much to leave us the way we were but He does not wait for us to be perfect before He calls us. God qualifies the called; He does not call the qualified. In fact, if God were to call the qualified, no one will qualify to be called. In fact, all these people that feel that they qualify to be called are hypocrites because none can stand before God’s righteousness.

Be careful who you want to give up on or who you want to write off. I have seen Christians write off other Christians because in their opinion, the person is useless and cannot do xyz. Be careful! Do not be in a hurry to judge people because you do not know where God has taken them from and you do not know where God is taking them. Ironically, sometimes it is the people that God has shown a lot of grace that are so impatient with other people. Be careful!

Prayer: Father, help me to fully grasp this thought of incremental releases. And as You transform me each day, lead me to exploit my life change for You, in Jesus Name.

THEME: RETREAT TO REFRESH READ: Matt. 11:25-30 When some musicians want to release great songs, they retreat to secluded places where they can reflect, meditate and create. Some choose places overlooking the vast oceans, some choose where there are waterfalls, and some choose places with thick forestations.  As they observe the beauty of nature, the swift moves and songs of the soaring birds, the colourful flowering vegetations, the serene beaches and the unending waves of the nearby waters, they capture inspiration that helps them develop the hit songs they have been longing for. I met one of the world’s renowned musicians in Atlanta, USA a few years ago where journalist surrounded him and were asking what he had come to do and why his beards had grown so much. He said that his last album did not perform well enough and he was incubating another one he wanted to release that would perform better. He said that he needed to pull away from the Noise of New York and California ...

A NEW MONTH OF DIVINE ANNOUNCEMENT

By
But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John. Luke 1:13 The Bible is replete of records on how God announced some events before they finally happened. Because you made it into the new Month, God will specially announce you in Jesus name.  Whenever God want to do something unusual, He first of all announce it, for instance, when He wanted to delivered the children of Israelite from the hand of the philistine whom He has delivered them to, He sent an angel to break the new to the parent of the deliverer - Samson. Judges 13.  When God wanted to turn the hearts of men back to Himself, He sent angel Gabriel to announced the birth of John the Baptist to his father, Zacharias. Also when God was fully ready for the redemption of man, He first announced it to the one whose body His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ will pass through to the earth. Luke 1:26-38. That was the...

Can you ruin your destiny?

By
God had something in mind when He created you, right? But what if you’ve screwed up? Dropped out? Quit before it was over? Maybe you decided to do your own thing, it didn’t work out, and now you’re just sucking air and hoping there’s still hope. Guess what? There is! For God’s gifts and his call can never be withdrawn. (Romans 11:29 NLT) You don’t even have to start over. Every single thing you failed at? God will use it. (Romans 8:28) Every shot you called that was way off? God will repurpose it. (Proverbs 19:21) Every weakness you thought you had to hide? God’s power will show through it. (2 Corinthians 12:9) God created you for good works. As soon as you quit the past and sell out for Jesus, those works will happen. (Ephesians 2:10) He’s establishing you, step by step. (Proverbs 16:9) God’s a good Father. He knows how to bring you back and take you further than you ever imagined. (Ephesians 3:20) Spend some time really reflecting on these truths. What do you secretly hope is p...
