Sometimes God speaks to us from His creation in story form. Sometimes these stories can teach us how kingdom people should live. This amazing video can teach us some very valuable lessons about being people of the kingdom. Watch the whole thing it is amazing.
Lesson 1: 1 Peter 5:8, "Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings."
The enemy is going to look for any chance he can to take down those who are the weakest in their faith. He is ruthless. He will attack us at our weakest moment and at our weakest point. So we need to be aware of this so that we can be alert and ready to resist (fight back).
Lesson 2: Remember the parable of the lost sheep in Luke 15? Jesus said that we should leave the 99 to go out and find the one. But what happens when the 99 go after the one who is lost? What kind of world impact could be made if the church would respond to those who are far from God like the herd of Cape Buffalo responded to the calf?
Many times we see it as the responsibility of a few to go out after those who are far from God, when it is the church (all Christ followers) who should be in line with the same mission.
If our response would be like this in pursuing those the enemy is trying to devour, then what Jesus said will become a relality: "on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell will not overcome it" (Matthew 16:18).
Let's be the church! Let's be the aggresser and overcome the gates of hell!

At first I wondered how you could put such a video on your blog, but that was awesome to see the lion thrown into the air. Definitely good to see the good guys win.
I learned that once you allow Love to overpower fear.................it is then that you can do great things!
