"Christians! You Are So Much More
Than You Can Think Of"



Among all successful Christians, John Maxwell is one them.

He was raised in a Christian family.

He started as a professional doctor, then became a pastor.

And today he is our famous John Maxwell.



John Maxwell's Illustration Of Life

One day he gave an illustration about life by using an example of 3 kinds of animal and 1 man.

Here is the story line:

On the 1st day, God created a dog.
He told that dog to sit all day at the front of the house and bark at anybody that passes by. It was given a lifespan of 20 years.
The dog felt that it was such a long time to be barking. So it gave back to God the other 10 years. And God agreed.

On the 2nd day, God created a monkey.
He told the monkey to entertain people and make them laugh. It was given a lifespan of 20 years .
The monkey thought that it was such a boring task to do for 20 years. And so it returned the other 10 years to God. And God agreed.

On the 3rd day, God created a cow.
He instructed the cow to go out to the field with the farmer all day long, suffer under the Sun and give milk to support the farmer. It was given 60 years to live.
The cow saw such a tough life to spend. And so it gave back to God 40 years. And God agreed.

Finally, on the last day, God created a man.
He told the man to eat, sleep, play, marry and enjoy his life. He gave the man 20 years to live.
The man was shocked. He wanted more. And so he told God to give him both the 10 years that the dog and monkey gave back to God, and the 40 years from the cow.
So he had a total life span of 80 years. And God agreed.



The Moral Of The Story

That is why, the 1st 20 years of your life; you eat, sleep, play, marry and enjoy yourself.

For the next 40 years, you slave under the Sun to support your family.

For the next 10 years, you do monkey tricks to entertain your grandchildren.

And for the last 10 years, you sit down on the front porch and bark at everybody that passes by.

You just had a life.



The Life Of Most Christians

You maybe one of them.

Changing your religion to Christian does not affect much of your life. Your life is still a mess. Nothing much changes.

You are still a loser even after you received the Holy Spirit, and God Himself lives in you.

The only difference is that on Sunday you go to church, rather than hanging around somewhere else doing nothing. Though you may be doing nothing in church too, once it becomes just a habit.

Your problems stay. It is still hard to talk to your parents and have a great relationship. You still find it hard to deal with your kids.

You are still feeling insecure. Your appearance looks the same. Your mind thinks the same negative thoughts all the time, expecting bad things to come to you.

Your finance does not change. If you are married, you fight all the time with your spouse about money.

You are still in debts. And you really do not know how to get out of debts and live the abundant life that God has promised. It just seems impossible.

Or if you are still single, you are struggling to find your soul mate.

No one is interested in you if you are depressed all the time.

Maybe you want to get married, and yet you are unemployed right now.

What about having the stress of preparing a wedding because of financial problems?



How A Christian Should Live

If you are a Christian, you can do all things through Christ who strengthen you. That is God's promise.

"I can do" – means you should have a commitment and effort to win. This is your part.

"Through Christ" – means He has the strength and power to win. And this is God's part.

It means that you provide an effort and God will provide the strength for you to do it. When you move one step forward, God will move one step forward too. If you do nothing, then you may as well die.

It applies to all areas in your life. Be it in finding and choosing the right partner to marry. Surviving the 1st few years of marriage struggling and fighting over money.

Getting out of depression and the past traumas. Breaking from addiction.

You cannot live your life with an attitude of "I cannot" or "It is too hard".



The Successful Christians

Being a successful Christian is becoming a salt and a light to the world.

Being a testimony that when God is on your side, who can be against you. Not poverty, not depression, not addiction, not disease.

The confidence and strength to do things come from God.

YOU must find out your own passion. Passion is your confidence builder.

God gives you at least one talent. You should know that you have a great potential in you. You need to fight the Devil for making you feel unable to do anything good.

What the Devil says are all lies.



The 7 Mountains To Conquer

There are 7 mountains in this life that Christians must take back from the Devil.

They are the mountains of:

1. Religion

2. Family

3. Education

4. Government

5. Art

6. Media and Entertainment

7. Business and Economy


Find your place in the Kingdom of God.

Rise up and fight the Devil.

Establish the Kingdom of His Righteousness on earth.

You are an army of God.
