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: You Can Create Whatever You Desire John 16:21-27 The instrument with which you exercise dominion over creation is your mouth.You can create whatsoever you desire by speaking that thing into existence.Whatever you say begins to exist in the spiritual form.Jesus said in John 6:63,"The words that I speak unto you,they are spirit,and they are life". In like manner,you create whatever you say and the things begin to exist in the spiritual form.What you create through words also have life and they continue to live until they find physical expression.  This is exactly what happens when you pray.The things you declare in prayer come alive and begin to exist in their spiritual form.They remain in that spiritual form until they are converted to their tangible equivalent through work. Jesus said,"until now you have asked nothing in My name.Ask,and you will receive,that your joy may be full" (John 16:24). Don't make the mistake of relaxing after you have pray...

Sin Stained...or Blood Washed?

By
This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; and their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.  (Hebrews 10:16-17) The Bible tells us that under Levitical law, an animal had to be offered every year to atone for the sins of the people. That word atone means "to cover" and it's used continually throughout the Old Testament. But let me tell you something exciting. It's never used in the New Testament. The Greek word used to describe what Jesus did for us on the cross is a different word altogether. It doesn't just mean "to cover"—it means "to remit; to do completely away with something." Do you know what that means? It means there is no longer a sin problem. Jesus solved it! When you made Him your Lord, He didn't just cover your sins, He put you into right-standing with God and re-created you by the Spirit of God a...

You Must Forgive Yourself Hebrews 12:1-11 You have heard quite a lot about forgiving those that have offended you – and that you must do. It happens often that the person you must really forgive is yourself. You may have committed an offence or a sin and your conscience has condemned you, just as the Holy Spirit has chastised you. You may also have repented of this sin, confessed it to God and resolved not to go back that way. But you discover that the heaviness, clouded vision, and the erosion of confidence occasioned by the sin you committed continue to weigh you down. At such moments, you need to make another type of confession to God in order to regain your liberty from the weight that holds you down. You have to confess your unbelief in His word that says, “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9). When you have genuinely repented of a sin and confessed it to God; and you have pleaded ...
