1. Thrive - Don't Survive: Thrive!! [Pastor Murithii Wanjau - Mavuno Church]

Don't Survive: Thrive!

The year 2011 was "The perfect storm". A "perfect storm" is a particularly terrible storm that happens when several weather factors, each of which would be bad in and of themselves, happen at the same time. In previous years, we'd heard about the global economic crisis but in 2011 we met it face to face! A quote on the Internet that said the only good thing about 2011 is that it's probably going to be a lot better than 2012. Yet as it 2012 beckons, it seems to be a case of out of the frying pan into the fire.

So how are people responding to all this? Of course the biggest response to these uncertain times is fear. When life gets hard, fear checks in! Many are digging in, and locking into survivor mode. Many are cutting costs and crossing their fingers and lying low. The truth is that many of us have low expectations for the New Year. If we can just get by, that would be fine. We will be happy to simply survive this year.

This is what THRIVE, our first series in 2012 is about. We'll be looking at the acronym THRIVE to get practical handle on God's secrets for thriving in difficult times.

T Trust In God
H Hold On To The Dream
R Relate Wisely
I Invest Strategically
V Value Add Always
E Enjoy The Journey
