The man preaching in the video is
Dani Cociuba. We got to meet him at Potter’s House last week and get to know
him a little. Just before Dani got up to speak, the man that introduced him was
talking about open house before his kids started back to school. He said they
went there, sat in the kid’s desks, and listened to the teacher talk about who
she was, what the kids were going to be learning and how they were going to be
learning it. He said, “Within a few minutes, we knew that before us stood a
woman with a ton of passion, a ton of passion for what she did and how she did
it. She loves our kids!� He said, “Do we have a passion for serving the Lord
like this? Does our passion for Jesus look anything like this woman’s passion
for teaching?� That hit home…. Dani leads Evangelism Explosion all across Western
Romania, which is focused on discipling and building up spiritual leaders. He
is a man filled with passion for the Lord, no doubt. …I ask you, What are you
passionate about? What is it that gives you the goosebumps? …Are you more
passionate about that thing that you just thought of or are you more passionate
about serving Christ with your life? Where is the focus of your passion? Being
passionate about Christ and living in the Holy Spirit yields much fruit
(Galatians 5). Whether it be football, teaching, your business, serving your
family, or your school work, that will flourish ten fold when your passion for
the Lord is roaring. Why? Because you are feeding the King and not yourself! He
will honor you in it and your love will bring before you passionate and hungry followers
who see that in you. What more could we ask for?
I ask you again, what
are you most passionate about?
