HOW TO CLIMB YOUR MOUNTAIN & LIVE WITH GREAT ABUNDANCEOct 14, '10 3:56 AM
I went to mountains of Sagada and I went rock climbing. When I was up there, I felt no fear. None whatsoever. But actually, I felt no fear because I had this thick rope tied around my torso. I knew that whatever happened, that rope would keep me safe.
So, when I finally rapelled down to the ground, I realized I didn't only conquer the rocky cliff, I conquered my fears.
DON'T STAY WHERE YOU ARE
God wants you to go higher. He wants you to keep on growing, to be wiser and to be better.
What's your mountain? What do you need to conquer in your life? What dream does God want you to reach?
If your life isn't exciting, it may be because you've not been climbing mountains. It will be your fears that will keep you from reaching the summit.
But God is your rope, no matter what happens, he'll hold you tight. Even if you slip or make mistakes in climbing the mountain, he'll never let go. He'll keep you safe in his hands.
FACE YOUR MONSTERS
Once upon a time, a family of frogs lived in a broken-down well. They lived in isolation, content with their tiny puddle of water. Sometimes, it got murky and crowded, but no frog dared to leave home. Why? Whenever someone would dare leave, everyone would warn him; "There are monsters outside!"
And for so many generations, these frogs were stuck in their little world. Until one day, a little frog had a dream, to live outside the well.
In his mind, he saw a big pond of water, lots of open space. The vision excited him so much. He would tell his friends about his dream but they would tell him "We had a great-great-great grand uncle who went out and never returned! He must have been gobbled up by the monster!"
But the little frog didn't see the monsters. He only saw his dream of a big pond. Finally, he made up his mind. Without any warning, the little frog jumped as high as he could. He landed on top of the well. All his friends below shouted, "Comeback, you'll be eaten alive" But the little frog hopped out.
And what he saw blew his mind. Almost right beside the well wasn't a big pond. Instead, it was a giant lake - a million times bigger than their tiny puddle.
FRIENDS, FACE YOUR MONSTERS. Many of us are trapped in our little world because of fear. God has bigger blessings in store for you outside your walls.
How did the frog jump out of the well? Before he saw the lake with his eyes, he already saw the lake within him. He felt it in his heart.
What you see with your heart, you will see with your eyes. Climb your mountains and live with great abundance.
