Mentor the Next Generation

 

Hi Everyone!

I know we are all looking forward to the 4^th of July weekend, those of us who live in the U.S. As for me, I have a fun-filled week ahead with my husband’s family coming into town from New Jersey, so we are all excited to spend some family time.

Before, we get our party hats on and begin to celebrate with fireworks; I wanted to share this with you all. I really wanted to share my heart with everyone. This is something that I have already shared on my social networks such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram and I also wanted to share it on my blog so everyone to read it.

I am a firm believer of empowering and encouraging others to reach their top potential. I’d like to be known for inspiring, encouraging and blessing others. I want to constantly, not only motivate myself but motivate others as well. I want everyone to excel in their individual journeys, knowing that they too can push past any limitations that may be of hindering. With that being said, sometimes we need a little help and God places people in our paths everyday with the purpose to help us. There will be times where you will need help but there will also be times where you will be that source of help for others.

As youth pastors, my husband and I constantly are working with the younger generation, we realize that they are the next generation and it is our responsibility to lead them, teach them, empower them, motivate them and mentor them. If they don’t get it from us, who will they get it from?

It’s everyone’s responsibility to listen and help these kids who are rising up. You do not have to be a youth pastor to do so, everyone is a leader in their own individual way. You can make a difference in someone’s life simply by caring and genuinely helping them excel in whatever area you are good at. Help them become better.

 This is what I shared earlier on social media and my hope is that you too become encouraged and motivated to encourage and motivate someone who may need your help. It’s not about us, it’s about Jesus and sharing the gifts He has deposited in us-with others! The more you release, the more you receive.

 

Leaders:

 Invest your time and resources into the next generation. They will remember! That goes for mentorship, leadership, teaching, preaching, music, worship, arts and even business. Whatever gifts you have been given, share the wealth of knowledge to others. Encourage them to be better and do better than you. Ouch! Why? Because you're standing today but guess what? Tomorrow you will be sitting down and they will be standing up, leading just like we are today. How great will it be to leave a legacy of multiplication?! You multiplied yourself unto others. You were not afraid to teach what someone else taught you and have others learn what one day you learned. Take someone under your wing and mentor them to be better than you; because my friends, that is the sign of a true leader: one that can look back and say, I mentored them and they became better than me! Let’s be a generation of sharing, one who spreads the wealth of knowledge. Let's empower the generation that is rising!

 

Be Encouraged, Be Blessed!

The secret

 It's already the middle of January, can you believe how time flies? Pretty soon we'll be in the middle of the year!  But as each day passes, remain focused on your goals for this year.  Let this be a different year for your life, a year of fulfillment! Remember God will always be by your side but there will always be a part you have to do; God can't do it all for you! It takes faith but it takes work to see your dreams come to life.  And as we continue to walk in this year of fulfillment; in which, you will finally see your dreams come to pass, remember to worship.  That word of God that was spoken to your life as you begin to see those promises unfold right before your eyes, remember to worship your way through your victory!  You may still be in the "waiting room" hoping, believing and trusting that this will be a different year for you; worship your way through your trials, worship your way through your miracle!

The difference between 2012 and 2013 is your worship! I don't know if you understand what the power of worship does in a someone's life.  When you open up your mouth and you begin to worship God for who He is and not what He can give you; you are showing Him unconditional love. When you  begin to worship like if everything is alright when truly everything in your life is a mess, you are trusting God with your life.  When we begin to worship, we begin to declare and speak the unspoken, we begin to see the unseen.  There is a new vision, a new passion, the power to conquer the unconquerable. That power is bestowed in us and all of the sudden, nothing is impossible!  The bible says that He who is in us is more powerful than he who is against us and if God is with us, then who can be against us?  If Jesus dwells inside of us, there can be nothing that could hold me back!  Do you believe it?  I truly believe if we put our 'game face' on this year, some serious stuff will happen.  We will be able to conquer new territory, reach new heights and nothing shall be impossible!!!  But THE SECRET is worship!  Everytime you get discouraged, worship, everytime you want to give up, worship, everytime you start to doubt, worship.  Because worship will pave the way for you, it will make your journey alot smoother, it will direct you, it will take you to a new level so you can see things for a different perpective.  Worship will take you to God's heart and reveal to you His plan for your life. Worship your way to your victory!!!

I want to take this time to share with you this great worship event next weekend, January 25-26, 2013.  It will be an unbelievable experience!  I am personally super hyped about it because it's going to be a life-changing experience.  We will have two powerhouse women of God with an unbelievable anointing to worship and lead people to the presences of God. Joann Rosario-Condrey and Lilly Goodman will be joining us this year for our annual worship conference.  This year is extremely special because we will be celebrating five years of Adoracion Worship Conference (AWC) and it is truly an honor to have these ladies with us.  I encourage everyone who can make it to AWC '13 come on out because it will change your life!  For more info on the event, visit: www.adoracionconference.com

Keys that unlock worship

Sometimes we get so overwhelmed over things that happen in our lives that are totally out of our control.  It is at that moment when we have a choice to make.  What are we going to do?  Are we going to dwell on our circumstances or are we going to worship God?  That is where true worship begins, when we are able to give an honest and true worship to our Creator, despite what we may be going through.  No wonder the bible says that He is looking for people who will worship him in Spirit and in truth, meaning that there are those who "worship" but it's enough.  God is looking for people who can really push through their situation and give Him the best. It's all or nothing!

Ruth Rodriguez is a friend who was introduced to me by my husband and she has been such a blessing to my life.  Talk about someone who can provoke the floodgates of heaven to be opened and allow God's presence to take over a space.  I'm talking about someone who is passionate about worship despite the hiccups she has encountered along the way, in this journey called life. Ruthy as we call her is a woman of God with a heart of worship.  That is all God is looking for, someone who can surrender completely to Him and can say: Lord, use me.

When God has a calling over someone's life, there is nothing that can stop it and no one who can detain it.  It is written not by man, but by God.  And this young woman has been so instrumental in the christian music industry. She's been able to bless a lot ministries with her many talents such as being a producer, songwriter, musician and vocalalist. She also currently is the Associate Pastor and Youth Pastor at The People's Tabernacle of Worship church in New Jersey and God is lifting her up in a mighty way through the word as well.

What really captivates me about Ruthy is not her many gifts and abilities but it is her sensibility, her passion will always outweigh any obstacles that may try to hinder her along the way.  And that is a great lesson to be learned.  You can still carve out to what will be a great legacy on earth no matter what curve balls life has thrown at you. One thing she says is: "Don't feel sorry for me, let's focus on the strength." And today I say to you, don't feel sorry for yourself, get up! God wants to do great things in you, through you and for you.

When we surrender ourselves completely to the Lord and say to him: I am yours, use me as you please, you will begin to see God take you to places where you never imagined you would be. But it all begins with a willing heart that is completely and utterly willing to get lost in worship.  When we realize how powerful worship is in our lives and understand that worship is the golden key that allows us to unlock the blessings from above, we will start to see unbelievable things happen.

Through worship we receive our breakthrough, through worship we receive healing, through worship our lives are changed. Worship is everything!  Understand that you have been given a golden key to unlock blessings that are reserved just for you, they carry your name and only through worship will you be able to see the complete fulfillness of them in your life.

Your circumstance shouldn't break you, it should make you. -Ruth Rodriguez
