SURVIVAL KIT

Acts 27:9-44

Decisions have consequences Decisions on vocation, marriage and eternity have consequences Destiny is the consequence of decisions Destiny is the harvest of decisions Instead of waiting they went (Abraham, Israel, or Saul)

Decisions affect others (Deut.30:19 “generation blessing or generation curse”) Decisions of people in authority and not in authority affect others You are reaping the consequences of someone’s decision Humanity is reaping out of Adam’s seed and out of Jesus’ seed Israel was reaping Achan’s harvest You could be in the storm/blessing because of someone’s decisions

How To Reap Someone’s Harvest: 1. Your soul is more important than your ship Ship is what suppose to carry you, after few attempts let it go God didn’t promise to save your ship but to preserve your soul (David and Jonathan) Your life is more important than someone’s mistakes Don’t lose your soul by trying to fix the ship (the coach) You can’t change what happened in your past but you can affect your future Your future is bigger than your past (rear view mirror is always smaller than windshield) 2. Feed those who caused your storm Joseph fed those who caused him most pain (K.A. Paul of India) Jesus feeds those who caused him most pain Paul fed those who caused him trouble When your enemy is hungry feed him – the greatest revenge is love What message you give for those who are reaping – encourage them 3. Hold on to your pieces Some storms are overcomed by speaking the word, others by throwing away Jonah Rest of storms are overcomed by focusing on the positive instead of negative Focus on what you have instead of what you lost Israel focused on what they didn’t have – their storm killed them Jesus told John to look at what God was doing instead of what He wasn’t doing
