Psalm 126:1
When Lord restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dreamed

God restores
Everything you lost

Joel 2:25
So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten 

Nevertheless sacrifice relationships for opportunities 
 “I have coffee in the morning and I go church every Sunday- it’s a commitment!”
Representation of dad / mum through God
Naomi her stupid Husband and Ruth
Dreams- to be fulfilled through God
One million worshippers 
Dream that keeps us alive 
Brought back the exiles 
Jeremiah 29:10-11
For thus says the lord: after seventy years are completed at Babylon, I will visit you and perform my good word toward you, and cause you to return to this place. For I know the thoughts that I think towards you, says the lord, thoughts of peace and not evil. 

Daniel 9-2-3
Then I set my face towards God to make request by prayers and supplications, with fasting, sackcloth and ashes. 

Sinning men don’t pray and praying men don’t sin- is that so??

Isiah 44:23

2 Chronicles 36: 22-23
Psalms 126: 2-3
God has a sense of humour 
Emotional communion happens when you laugh
Joyful with laughters
Never let devil steal your song
God has built this church 
Reflection of your strength 
Psalms 126:4-6
Restore our fortunes, lord, like streams of Negev 

“Then was our mouth filled with laughter, And our tongue with singing: Then said they among the nations, Jehovah hath done great things for them.

Turn again our captivity, O Jehovah, As the streams in the South.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭126:2, 4‬ ‭ASV‬‬

You can’t turn the page to the future

Christian Actualisation

Christian 
Why worship Jesus
Cos the bible says so?
Who wrote the very first bible?
Did Jesus really resurrect?
Did He perform the most impossible that is against nature? 
Was it a positioning to place the brand for mass embrace?

CHC
Level of maturity 
Something newer
Past gives context to the present 
Present shapes the future 
Don’t keep going through old histories 
Stay in the present 
Break through barriers and hindrances 
New grounds
Motivation: motives behind actions 
For the right reasons 
Sustainable 
Subliminal emotions 
Fired up, not hype-up people
People don’t buy what you do, they buy why you do it
The purpose 

Innovation not imitating 
What to remain what to continue 
Stay relevant 
Greater substance 
Conformance to specific ideology 
Society of popular culture 
Substance of Jesus 

Responding to hate through the presence of hate itself 

Billy Graham 1918-2018
Be attractive and winsome, but do not compromise your conviction for the sake of popularity 

Nebuchadnezzar
