Be a Converterlator!

What in the world is a “Converterlator”?

Well, until I decided to write my book there was no such word as Converterlator! I created the word to describe the change that occurs in the life of a child of God who is shifting the gears of their life from park to drive. This transformation propels them into a life of converterlating and brings positive change into their lives from both an earthly and eternal standpoint. A Converterlator is actively working to bring about kingdom change using all of the resources God has made available him or her. A Converterlator understands God’s purposes for giving us time, talent, and treasure to use for him. The purpose for doing so brings glory to our Creator God as we live an exciting and fulfilling life here on earth andbuild treasure for ourselves in heaven. This is a key principle of Kingdom of God living a disciplined life committed to experiencing maximum returns in life and eternity.

Every human being born into this world is facing two undeniable facts:

  1. The first is that we are in this world for a brief period of time and then we face a physical death.
  2. The second is that each one of us will live in eternity. We will enter it either to be in the presence of God, or we will be eternally separated from him … forever.

Our eternal destiny is determined by the relationship we have with God the Father through his Son, Jesus Christ. In the meanwhile, we have a life to live here on earth! The Bible is our guide in how we should not only live our lives here on earth, using our time, talent, and treasure for God’s glory, but also how we should prepare for entering the world that will last forever. It is important that we understand the biblical principles of stewardship in order to clarify how we are agents of change in this world with rewards in heaven for all that we accomplish here on earth using those resources.

The apostle Paul wrote these words to encourage us:

In a race everyone runs, but only one person gets first prize. So run your race to win. To win the contest you must deny yourselves many things that would keep you from doing your best. An athlete goes to all this trouble just to win a blue ribbon or a silver cup, but we do it for a heavenly reward that never disappears.
—1 Corinthians 9:24–25

In what ways are you currently using the resources God has blessed you with to further his kingdom?

Stay in Balance!

  Then Jesus said, “Let’s go off by ourselves to a quiet place and rest awhile.” He said this because there were so many people coming and going that Jesus and his apostles didn’t even have time to eat. Mark 6:31 Stay in Balance Everywhere Jesus went, He was healing people, teaching in the synagogues, pouring Himself into His disciples. People made constant demands on His time and energies. Imagine how He felt. As the Son of God, He had this incredible power, anointing, wisdom, so much to offer. Yet at times, when He was exhausted, He would go away from the crowds and get alone so He could be refreshed. Despite the pressing needs around Him, Jesus knew that He had to take care of His temple.  If the Son of God had to be alone and rest, if He couldn’t meet all the demands of the people around Him, why do we think we can go all the time and be everything for everyone? No matter how anointed, strong, smart, or gifted you are, you get depleted. Despite all the needs around you, you have to

Give Cheerfully!

        Give Cheerfully “Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”  (2 Corinthians 9:7) When giving is done with the right attitude, it can be a gateway for God to move in significant ways in our lives. It is important to remember that it is not the amount we give that matters so much as it is the attitude that characterizes our giving. God loves it when we give out of a cheerful and grateful heart. God’s loving of a cheerful giver results in God taking action in our lives. Scripture states unequivocally that God will make all spiritual and earthly blessing abound to us so we can multiply our efforts for the kingdom. This is why I believe giving provides a major gateway for God to work in our lives, we can expect God to visit us. Jesus will fellowship with the cheerful giver, and the Holy Spirit will impart life to out mortal bodies. When we weave a pattern of giving into our lives, we can

Don’t Water it Down!

  And because of his glory and excellence, he has given us great and precious promises. These are the promises that enable you to share his divine nature… (2 Peter 1:4) Don’t Water it Down All of us have dreams we’re believing for, but too often we get discouraged and quit believing for the fullness of what’s in our heart. It’s easy to water down what God promised us. “I don’t like this job, but it’s good enough.” “I was believing for a house, but this apartment is okay.” “I was hoping to get well, but I’ve learned to live with this sickness.” If you’re going to become all you were created to be, you have to keep a fire in your spirit that says, “I refuse to settle for less than what God promised.” You’re not going to be talked out of it, you’re not going to water it down, and you’re not going to let good enough be good enough. It may be more difficult and taking longer than you thought, but what God promised you is still on the way—not a watered-down version, not a make-do promotion,
