FEARLESS 2019 HIGHLIGHTS ( Part 2)

This is the second part of my blog on my highlights from the FEARLESS SUMMIT 2019 - 

4.     What is your mountain of influence?  There are various mountains of Influence.  John Enlow in his book The Seven Mountain Prophesy (which I highly recommend), shares these with us. These include  Government, Media, Religion, Arts and Entertainment, Business, Education and Family.  At the Fearless Summit, there were a few modifications without losing the essence of the message. For example, they talked about Environment and Agriculture which am passionate about too. So, what is your mountain? May the Lord help us as we prepare to take over these mountains for the Kingdom of God.

5.     One of the Workshops that I attended was to do with Building Teams of Influential Men. I am particularly passionate about this area. Men are an endangered species. They confront quite a number of challenges but are never seen to wail or cry in public about these challenges. This is because society somehow expects men to know how to figure it out As a result, there is recourse to alcoholism, violence (including domestic violence) suicide rates amongst young men are high ( see Northern Uganda for example),  and other forms of anti-social behaviour. It is foolhardy to concentrate on the Girl Child and assume the Boy Child will somehow _by a miracle_ get it right. This reminds of a book I read – Why Men Hate Church. Whoever has time to read it and would like to discuss it later, please inbox. Point here is that there is work for and about men that needs to be done

6.     Lastly ( for now),  the theme for the Fearless Summit was timely and on point - Be Brave. I think in all that we need or ought to do, we need to be brave. It will not be easy. We need to conquer our fears as we confront the different mountains the Lord has called us to. 

     No picture describes this as well as when Samson killed the lion with his bare hands. He was certainly fearless. So was David who confronted the giant called Goliath. In there is yet another point - there is enough room for more giant and lion killers.

    

    We have not run out of lions and all forms of giants to kill. Just because some one has been able to accomplish something amazing for God (in a way that mesmerizes all) of us does not mean we are useless. Let us go look up our own lions and giants and be brave as we kill them. (Regardless of our size and experience)

I will conclude by passing a vote of thanks to the excellent team at Mavuno Hill City for organising this amazing Summit.  I also thank Moses Mukisa and his great team of administrators and assessors that ensure that Harvest Institute is running smoothly, but also make it a requirement for us to attend this Summit. I believe that the lessons learnt and the fires that were ignited or reignited ( even extinguished ) were all in the right direction. May the Lord give us wisdom as we confront our mountains. May we not leave this world the same way we found it. Amen.
