Mike's Life Lessons through University shared to CCF 2010

1. Life lessons Mike’s

2. Be patient. Give time, time. Life tends to work itself out. Know that God is in control.

3. Encounter God yourself not through someone else. Go straight to the source

4. Live life with an eternal perspective. Decisions get easier in the light of eternity. Frame every disaster with the question: “In five years, will this matter?”

5. The word is the kindling, prayer is the power, the Holy Spirit is the wind. Always feed the fire for God properly.

6. Be intentional with your relationships. They won’t just grow themselves.

7. Over prepare, then go with the flow. The key is to prepare.

8. You are never too sinful to be forgiven. Get over your own sinfulness because God already has.

9. Seek and you will find. Remember to seek.

10. Theology is the map to Christian living. Don’t get lost in your spiritual walks.

11. It’s always about the journey. Don’t forget to look around and enjoy life.

12. Fully surrender yourself to God, daily. It’s the only way to fully experience God.

13. Stop trying and start trusting. You didn’t defeat sin, Jesus did.

14. Shine your light for Christ boldly. Sow the gospel seed wherever you go.

15. Be slow to judge. If possible – don’t judge at all. Listen and support. Every situation has it’s own story and reason.

16. Love God and love your neighbours. Think less about yourself and more about others.

17. Relax. God hears your prayers. Pray for the impossible and believe in the power of prayer.

18. Set your eyes on Jesus, always. Don’t look down, look up.

19. Joy comes from the Lord. Don’t misplace the source of your joy.

20. Serve. God will transform you. God never calls the equipped but rather the unequipped.

21. Live for God’s glory. Don’t just say it. Understand your purpose in life.
