The Divine Edge of Opportunity

  • The Divine Edge of Opportunity

    I have been very enlightened by reading Sandi Patty’s new book called, The Edge of the Divine. It has caused me to think differently about the opportunities God sovereignly designs for us. He gives us the choice to step over an edge into something He has planned to work for our good. Romans 8:28. The good results honor Him. Revive has now stepped over the edge in accepting the responsibility to carry on ShareFest in Oklahoma City. This is a city wide, one-day event that provides an opportunity for hundreds of volunteers to work together to do good in our community by answering the various cries for help. The date for this one day project will be Saturday, April 16, 2011.

    In the meantime, we are asking you to pray for the Revive Board in this time of transition. There are many decisions to be made and many more edges to step over. Please pray for these 11 women to have the mind of Christ at every meeting; to work with joy and energy of the Holy Spirit, and to experience a great support team of people who will pray regularly. Let us also pray that many more church volunteers will be excited and willing to step over the edge and work when that time is opened for them. This will result in transforming our city with the love of God and hard working hands
    Genesis 16 tells the story of Sarai, Abram’s wife, who had an Egyptian servant named Hagar. When Sarai became impatient with waiting to conceive her promised child, she chose to take things into her own hands and give her servant to Abram as his secondary wife. There was an obvious lack of prayer. Hagar became pregnant and looked down on Sarai, despising her. She sent Hagar away, but not away from God. Hagar felt scared, lonely, distraught and abandoned. But The Angel of the Lord found her and told her to return to her mistress and then told her about the baby she would have. Hagar called Him, “The Living One Who Sees me.” Gen. 16:14 Amplified Bible.

    Dear Friends, The Living One Who Sees is the same today. Aren’t we thankful!!! He is our God who has promised to meet our needs. Phil. 4:19. He sees the Revive Board and their needs. He sees every situation in our City and hears the cries of those who feel scared, lonely, distraught and abandoned and who need help. He is preparing our hearts to be the answer to these dear people who need us. We are on the edge of a divine opportunity to make a difference in the lives of many people in Oklahoma City. God’s timing is perfect. This is a time for us to pray and to prepare our hearts and hands to be ready to share our energy, time and resources with those God guides us to. Let us be prayerfully excited about a new and divine opportunity to respond to the Living One Who Sees. He is creating edges for each of us to cross to serve others and honor Him.

    On the edge with you,

Devotion Apr 08

Walking the Path of Blessing

From John 13:1-17 we saw Jesus demonstrate the extent of His love to His disciples by choosing to wash their dirty feet. It was an act of service. He said in the New Living Translation of 1996, verses 15 and 17, “I have given you an example to follow. Do as I have done to you. You know these things—now do them! That is the path of blessing.”

Now that Revive Ministries has had it’s first conference on February 9, 2008, we praise God for the wonderful response He gave us through 200 attendees. Many have chosen to volunteer for acts of service and walk the path of blessing. The focus of my message was “God blesses those who serve.”

After reading and meditating on Psalm 128 this week, we were asked to write our own Psalm. I have chosen to relate it to Revive Ministries because the subject is “Enjoying the blessing of God!” My prayer is that God will bless you and cause you to read and meditate on this Psalm and see how He wants to apply it in your life.

Psalm 128:1-6 New Living Translation, 1996
“How happy are those who fear the LORD—all who follow His ways! You will enjoy the fruit of your labor. How happy you will be! How rich your life! Your wife will be like a fruitful vine, flourishing within your home. And look at all those children! There they sit around your table as vigorous and healthy as young olive trees. That is the LORD’s reward for those who fear Him. May the LORD continually bless you from Zion. May you see Jerusalem prosper as long as you live. May you live to enjoy your grandchildren. And may Israel have quietness and peace.”

Psalm 128:1-6 My paraphrase, 2008!
“As Revive Ministries’ volunteers fear the Lord and walk in His ways, they will experience God’s blessings and feel happiness in their own area of service. As we put our whole heart into serving, we will enjoy the fruit of our labor and we will be blessed with the richness of this kind of life. We will each be like a fruitful mother with many spiritual children (young or old) in our place of encouragement. That is the LORD’s reward for those who fear Him. May the Lord continually bless Revive from heaven so that we see the spiritual prosperity of Oklahoma City all the days of our lives, and be blessed with many spiritual children from the next generation. Peace be to Oklahoma City.”

Thank all of you who have found your place of service. If you are still wanting to serve and haven’t found a place, please call us at 844-7533. Please continue to visit our web site at www.reviveministries.com. We would like to help you begin walking on your path of blessing.
