Coconut Shy

Many of my people are standing at the coconut shy, throwing everything they have in order to knock the coconuts down, thinking that they will win a prize from me.

However, the ones that you are trying to knock down, are those who are loved and valued by me. They do not look or act like you but, they are the ones who are pioneering the new things in this nation. They carry, what appears to you, to be a hard shell, but I have made them to be ones who go into difficult places, and plough the fallow ground. Those who would dig out the hard places, and prepare them for the rain of my Spirit.

They carry not only the milk of my word, but the meat too. I have made them to stand and to proclaim my word, with all boldness and courage. It is time to see that they are not against you, but are for you and only want my best for you. See, I have not only appointed them but anointed them.

My people, I ask you to stop throwing your gossip, slander and rejection towards these ones. Realise that they need you to get alongside and lift up their hands. My people will be known by their love one for the other. They will be known by their acceptance of my different expressions within others lives.

(NIV) Acts 9:1-6

Meanwhile, Saul was still breathing out murderous threats against the Lord’s disciples. He went to the high priest and asked him for letters to the synagogues in Damascus, so that if he found any there who belonged to the Way, whether men or women, he might take them as prisoners to Jerusalem. As he neared Damascus on his journey, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him. He fell to the ground and heard a voice say to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?”

“Who are you, Lord?” Saul asked.

“I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting,” he replied. “Now get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.”

(NIV) Jeremiah 1:9b-10

I have put my words in your mouth. See, today I appoint you over nations and kingdoms to uproot and tear down, to destroy and overthrow, to build and to plant.
