Live Like A King
Are you content?
Is life unbearable, bearable, good
or great?
Don't settle for less
It's time
to expand
Where would society
be, if we didn't expand and stretch the boundries
The Church has
resisted change
Expansion Enlargement
But now
it's pushing
out its borders
Isa 54:2-3
2"Enlarge
the place of your tent ,And let them stretch out the
curtains of your dwellings;
Do not spare; Lengthen your cords,And strengthen your
stakes.3For
you shall expand to the right and to the left, And your
descendants will
inherit the nations,And make the desolate cities inhabited.
NKJV
Enlarge
the place of your tent,
And
let them stretch out the curtains of your dwellings =
Stretching is hard work,
BUT well worth
it
