Igniting Your Potential
August 9, 2018
Sometimes genius is slow coming to the surface. Think your youngster is a slow learner? It's possible he's just not interested in the trivial. The fact is that many of our most famous people showed no indications of being outstanding when they were young. To the contrary, many of them, like Thomas Edison, were actually considered slightly slower than their contemporaries. Two of the world's best loved humorists, Will Rogers and Mark Twain, showed little interest either in school or in humor in their early years. As a child, Albert Einstein was slow in learning to talk; then as a boy he was considered backward. Ignace Paderewski, the great Polish pianist, was in his late teen years before he showed any interest in learning to play the piano.

Richard Senac stumbled across the great need people have for someone to listen to them. No, he isn't a counselor. He was a hospital nurse recruiter who found that getting people up in the morning was no small task, so he started a business called Roosters, named after the barnyard creature that crows about the time the sun rises. Roosters was a telephone calling service that would awaken you in the morning with a variety of several hundred different sounds, from a 21 gun salute to fingernails scratching on a blackboard if your starter takes something a little more bizarre to get you going in the mornings. Roosters would also put you to sleep at night with a variety of sounds.

He was once a trusted friend, but something happened. His friendship became treachery, and the man who had been a companion, a family friend, and confidant became an enemy. Have you ever had that happen? Painful, isn't it? The person that you thought would have gone to the wall with you slowly begins to drift away. Your phone doesn't ring. It's a one-way friendship. When you call or drop by, you get the connection but it's cold, routine, and your friend gives you the impression that he's outgrown your friendship.

The man who sat in the office of psychologist Ed Fish was middle-aged and quite successful. He began talking about his daughter's forthcoming marriage, but instead of looking forward to it, he dreaded it. Why? Because he did not like the man she was marrying? Not at all! He liked him.

Some call it revival. Others call it a spiritual renewal, but no matter what you call it, what the Church needs today is a great move of God's Spirit as He breaks the fallow ground of our hearts and brings conviction and cleansing in the body of Christ which results in His power being manifest in our lives.

The Miriam-Webster Dictionary attempts to define the word revival as a period of renewed religious interest, an often highly emotional evangelistic meeting or series of meetings.

Pastor Thorleif Holm-Glad was walking through the empty sanctuary of Bethlehem Church in Oslo, Norway when the old caretaker of the church stopped him and soberly announced, See these empty seats? This year there will be revival in this church!
The pastor was startled to say the least. Yes, he knew the church had empty seats and plenty of them. No, not during the week when people were working but during services when the empty seats should have been filled. He also knew the caretaker was a good man, not given to exaggeration.

In the dome of the U.S. Capitol building is an inscription which reads, “One far‑off event towards which all creation moves.” A visitor, seeing the inscription, turned to a guide and asked, “What does that mean?” Hesitating for a moment the guide replied, “I think it refers to the second coming of Jesus Christ.”
