The Power of One

Aren't you glad somebody has always believed in the power of one.

It works for good or evil, but it works

Like back in the year dot when ONE man (Adam) plunged the entire human race in to the kingdom of darkness.

Like in 1491 BC when ONE man, Moses had the courage to stand up and say what God said, "let my people go"

Like in the year zero when ONE man, Jesus Christ said, "Not my will but your will be done" and took the punishment for sin for all mankind to lead us back into God's kingdom.

Like ONE man Mohandas Karamchand (Mahatma) Gandhi  famously led Indians in challenging the British-imposed salt tax with the 400km Dandi Salt March in 1930, and later in calling for the British to Quit India in 1942. Gandhi led India to independence in 1947 and inspired movements for civil rights and freedom across the world.  

Like Rosa Parks sat on the bus on 1 Dec 1955 in Montgomery, Alabama  and the driver said, "you must move to the back of the bus, or be thrown in jail" But she stayed and stood her ground, and she brought that old law down, whom the United States Congress called "the first lady of civil rights" and "the mother of the freedom movement"

I'm glad that ONE man Jean Pierre Riefler had the wisdom and unction to ask me on 25 December 1974 would I receive Christ.

ONE man (or woman) makes a difference if you believe in the power of ONE.

Rom 5:17  For if by ONE man's offence death reigned by ONE;

much more they which receive abundance of grace

and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by ONE, Jesus Christ.


Remember what Jesus stood for.

Will you be ONE that will accept what God did,

say what God said,

and reign in life by ONE Christ Jesus?


It's also a time to be challenged, inspired, motivated to live for Him.

Ask God to challenge you to live for Him, who died for us.  



What will you make of 2023? 


Will you be a victim or conqueror?

Will you sit back under oppression or stand up for righteousness?

Will you suffer under the circumstances or change them? 

Will you be an 'also ran' or a winner? 

Will you be one with a good excuse or ONE who, in Christ, changed things.
