Revalation to the Believers - Bishop Macedo

THE GREAT VISION

“Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

For consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself, lest you become weary and discouraged in your souls.

You have not yet resisted to bloodshed, striving against sin. And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as to sons: “My son, do not despise the chastening of the Lord, nor be discouraged when you are rebuked by Him; for whom the Lord loves He chastens, and scourges every son whom He receives.” Hebrews 12.1-6

Assistants' Graduation

NOBODY USES SHOES

Perhaps you’ve heard of the story of the shoe vendor who travelled to India on business in order to explore the new market. Arriving there, the vendor contacted his company: “Schedule my trip back. There’s not much to do here. No one uses shoes in India.”

The company brought the vendor back and sent another to the same place. Immediately, he started to sell and make orders and more orders for the company to send thousands of pairs of shoes. Excitedly, he contacted the company: “Everybody needs shoes here!”

PROVERBS

On a cold morning, a short vendor with greyish hair who was not known by anyone visited a small town. He would shout loudly: “Proverbs! Proverbs! Proverbs! New and used! Just a coin each! Who wants Proverbs???”

“Of what use are these Proverbs?” a lady asked, “Eh! Eh!” replied the man, “Certainly these proverbs cannot produce a warm jersey for you in this cold morning mam, however it will enrich your thinking. Are you not aware that in every Proverb there is kilogram of good sense?”

“That’s a good one!” another man added. “So with a single coin, what Proverb can you sell to me?” the vendor gazed upon the man for quite a while and eventually sold him the following Proverb:

ATTACKING THE PROBLEM

A wise man and a guardian had both been entrusted with the daily operation of a temple. One day the guardian died and needed to be replaced. So the wise man called a meeting of all his best disciples with the aim of choosing the guardian’s replacement.

“I will present you with a problem,” the wise man said, “and the first to solve it will be the new temple guardian.”
After his quick introduction, he placed a small table in the center of the room with an valuable porcelain vase containing an exquisite arrangement of roses.
“This is the problem,” said the wise man.

The disciples were confused at what they saw: beautiful paintings on the rare porcelain and an elegant flower arrangement. What did it mean? What was the enigma? What to do then?

After several minutes one of the disciples got up, looked at the wiseman and the disciples circled around him. He then boldly walked over to the vase and threw it on the ground, shattering the valuable work of art.

“You are the new guardian!” the wise man said to the student.

When he had returned to his place, he explained: “I was very clear. I had told you that I was going to set a problem before you, and that’s exactly what I did.
You were looking for an obviously negative thing, but it doesn’t matter how beautiful or fascinating a problem is, it has to be eliminated.
A problem is a problem, period. It can be a rare porcelain vase, a love that is no longer healthy, a path that needs to be abandoned… There is only one way to proceed with a problem, attack it head-on and refuse to be mislead with its external beauty.

The same happens to each one of us. The only way to see results is to confront our challenges with all our strength.

God bless you.
