Php 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
During this past month (June), I was working as floor manager at the FIFA World Cup Stadium in Polokwane (Peter Mokaba Stadium).
Before this, I had no real F&B background or experience, and knowing our countries record regarding affirmative action and job placement, I was very surprised to hear from the company in May informing me that I have the job.
This was miracle no1, for I am a white male, employing for a position that I had no training, or work background.
Miracle Two:
Our head crew consisted out of the following people
Stadium Manager: Lars Schmidt (Germany)
Head Logistics: Kostas (Greece)
Operations Manager: Rainar (Germany)
A/Head Logistics: Benjamin (Germany)
Head Chef: Raymond (Germany)
A/head Chef: Stefan (Germany)
A/head Chef: Marcus (Turkey)
Floor Manager: Katarina (Austria)
Floor Manager: Sabine (Pretoria, South Africa, She is originally from Austria)
and last but not the least
Floor Manager: Arnoldus Venter (Polokwane, South Africa)
From all of the head crew I was the only person from Polokwane, to be part of the head crew, and to top it all I was selected to work in the VVIP lounge, God is so Awesome
Working in VVIP lounge was a whole new experience, yet God helped me all the way, I had to work with the president of France, The Prince of Monaco, President of Algeria, President of FIFA, Various Ambassadors, and executive members of FIFA, local and national leaders. I was so blessed, to meet these dignitaries, to shake hands with them, to talk with them, it was so amazing.
To think that many a time we would say, I cannot do that, and we would walk away, instead we must look at the situation and say I can do all things through Christ Jesus which strengthens me
Many a time we look at our own ability and say, I am not good enough; I do not have the skills, etc. How wrong are we actually, because In Christ Jesus we are capable of doing all things?
Many people are afraid of making a mistake so they never try; they are so scared of failure that they never try it. How will you know unless you have tried it? If it fails try again, it is after all through our mistakes that we learn and grow
I want to challenge you today, to go out there and have the attitude of I can do all things, Because Christ Jesus Lives in Me
