God moving in Walthamstow...

Recently I did a marriage seminar at the church in Walthamstow, here is a letter from a member of their congregation; check out the photos section to see pictures from the seminar.

" As a member of The Walthamstow Potters House Church for 16 years and married for 12 years, we have always made it a habit to go to the seminars.
This is the second time as a couple that we have heard Pastor Mejia. We were so pleased; we knew how great he was last time so were really looking forward to the weekend. The first talk by Pastor Mejia would have been enough! His opening talk at the Gala dinner was amazing.....
The rest of the seminars were refreshing, inspirational, fun and full of great wisdom, from years of experience.
Thank you for allowing God to continually use your life to bless others."

One Cry Fits All

Psalm 40:1-2 " I waited patiently for the Lord to help me, and he turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the pit of despair, out of the mud and mire. He set my feet on solid ground and steadied me as I walked along."


What a great God we serve! There is no partial treatment, he is there for anyone who calls on his name.
It is a humbling factor of life, to ask others to help us, but sometimes we just can't do things on our own. We are not going to receive help if we don't ask for it. God is not a respecter of persons; there is no special way to ask for help, you simply just ask.
Remember one cry fits all, it needs no reason! Big or small, we all have needs that God can help us with. Don't be afraid to ask for help in our life! Trust that God is going to meet your needs according to his purpose and plan.

Find Follow Fish

Today in the church world there has become a broken chain, many people profess to know Christ, but when it actually comes down to it they aren't truly following him. We are all here because Jesus did something for us. As Christians we are called to be fisher of men, we should be following up on new believers and trying to win souls to Jesus. 

God wants to use us, he has a plan and a purpose for all of us. Though we may think we don't have everything together, God isn't expecting perfection his plan involves us as we are. There are no secrets steps, if we have found Jesus and we believe in him, we should be following him.  If we truly are living our lives the way God wants us to, we should be pursuing after those around us and drawing them to Christ. The God we serve is still alive and moving in our lives. Follow him and let him fulfill his purpose in your life.

Run Philip Run

Luke 14:23- "Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled."


In the book of Acts chapter 8 verses 26-40, we read a story about a man named Philip and how Christ uses him to reach out to one man. It is so amazing how God uses his people to bring others to Christ. It makes you think when you read this story, what am I doing to get others to Christ? Am I a living example of Christ, do people see him through me?
As christians we should be having moments where we are stirred and compelled by God to share his love with others. It is easy to make excuses on why we can't go on outreach, or why we can't go take that new convert out for dinner or coffee, but quite frankly there really are no right reasons. We should constantly be trying to win souls to Jesus Christ. There are so many tools and avenues in the world today, to share Jesus. Social networking has become a huge icon in todays society, and think about how many people can be touched daily by reading something that you posted on facebook or twitter. Philip wasn't some great and mighty man. He was a normal guy in the church that God used to reach this one soul. As believers we are called to reach the lost. We need to ask ourselves can we hear from God? Can God motivate and inspire us?
Jesus stayed close to the lost, so that he was able to reach them, we should be doing the same thing not distancing ourselves, we need to be able to speak to them and on a level that they understand. We need to be taking advantage of the oppurtunities put in our paths daily.
John 4:35 "... But I say, wake up and look around. The fields are already ripe for harvest."

Who gives a flip, take a dip!

Does it ever bother you when things don't go the way you planned?

In 2 Kings 5:9-14 there is a story of a man named Naaman, and he goes through this very thing. ¹⁰ Elisha sent a messenger to say to him, “Go, wash yourself seven times in the Jordan, and your flesh will be restored and you will be cleansed.”¹¹ But Naaman went away angry..."  
It's interesting how people can get mad at the very one that wants them to live right! 

Sometimes we expect things in our lives to go a certain way, but God's plan and our plan may be a whole lot different. There are always reasons behind why God does what he does. We may never fully understand God's way of doing things, but he has his best intentions for our lives. 

We cannot allow our pride to keep us from humbling ourselves before Christ. Naaman was given a simple command, although he thought his plan was better then God's. 

There are going to be times as christians when we think that our plan is better, but when we do the will of God, blessing comes in our lives. Naaman obeyed God and he was healed! God makes promises to his people and he keeps them. What has God been telling you lately? Are you going to humble yourself and let God be God, or are you going to resist? Remember God only wants the very best for you! 

The Case for the Hour-Long church service

1 Corinthians 9:21- "To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all men so that by all possible means I might have some."

An ancient proverb states, "The mind can only absorb what the seat can endure." For many unchurched people, the church stands for every commandment except this law of common sense. Lets imagine that you are not a christian, your friend invites you to church and you really dont feel like going. You begin making objections.."I dont know what to wear, My kids have something going on that morning," but your friend tells you you can come as you are and the service only lasts for one hour. You decide to go that Sunday, you show up and the service begins promptly on time. Everything is well paced, the teaching is good, bible-based and interesting. Before you know it the service is closing and you are out the door ready for a second dose!

In Ephesians 5:16 the scripture reminds us to "redeem the time." People are giving us their time, and we must do something meaningful with that time. In public worship service we are tempted to believe that our primary medium is words; it's not. Our medium is time.

"The ability to simpilfy means to eliminate the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak." - Hans Hofmann.

The most common objective is one... this is going to limit the spirit... do you really think that God needs more time? Really! Genesis 1:3- "and God said let there be light and there was light..." John 5:8-9- " Jesus said, "ARISE, pick up your mat and walk, and the man was cured."
I believe God can move in a moments time, and a miracle can take place in the hearts of Gods people. It doesn't take God a long time to move, the issue is not time but our hearts and if we are open. Are we ready to recieve, that is the real issue! My prayer is Isaiah 50:4- "The Sovereign Lord has given me his words of wisdom, so that I know how to comfort the weary. Morning by morning he wakens me and opens my understanding to his will."
