Arise and Build

It's the season to arise and build again. What exactly is this? most of the people associate this to giving financially to the local church, a time of sacrifice or in a "nasty" manner, some out of the church may refer to a time for christians to be and act poor. Come on! I know it's a sensitive time of the year and most of us are kind of fearful about it. Whenever arise and build season comes, thoughts are running through our minds. Satan is at work. Maybe we should see it in a different point of view. How about arising to take leadership and ownership in certain tasks and roles? Arising to the opportunity and take leadership in your workplace, making an impact in the marketplace. How about a time of building relationships? Building relationships or some may say re-building relationships. Arise and Build is not all about finanical sacrifice i believe. Although most of us sacrifice and give to the Lord, but with the same measure that is given, same will be given back to you. I feel excited about arise and build, how about you? I know that this is going to be a time of financial outpouring upon us and a time of building a more intimate relationship with each other. (",)
