Because our Father is the creator of the universe, we should lead in
coming up with innovative solutions to problems humanity faces . To the
contrary, many have given credence to the notion that church dishes out opium
that inoculates from thinking. When the Bible says be transformed by the
renewing of your mind[1] the intention was never to mean by the removal of your mind. As you prayerfully plan for your future allocate time to the generation
of ideas. Include in your associates people who stretch your thinking, shake
your complacency, and inspire your energy. Expose yourself to something
challenging enough to bring out your creative potential.
Solutions are often resident in
the fringes not the main stream, in the exception and not the rule, with the
prophetic and not the politically correct, in those different from you, and in
the unpopular. Think outside the box by asking questions. Before you can
provide the right answers, you must ask the right questions. Questions such as: What is being ignored? What is not being
done? What needs are not being met? What is not being done well? What does God
want? What must change? What must continue and why? What new strategies must be
introduced? What would it be like if a
change is introduced? What family, church and community do I want? What is
standing in the way? How can I make a difference? Do not be found among
prophets of doom and merchants of panic. When everyone else is discussing,
problems provide solutions[2].
