Disruptive Gospel: Part 1

"Working Hard on your Job makes you a Living but Working hard on yourself makes you a life" Jim Rhon
The term Disruptive Gospel has been coined from what is being called Disruptive Thinking” which is being described as getting “out-of-the-box”, breaking routine thinking.  It’s about gaining new, fresh perspective and seeing things from another angle or in another light.  In business it’s moving from simply working “in” your business to working “on your business.”

Its about looking at the Bible with fresh kingdom lenses and determine how the 2000+ year old spiritual text can be used to solve today's life's dynamics. One of my famous disruptive thinkers was Jesus Christ whose message was at variance with Judaic form of spirituality. While the Jewish leaders expected God to be sitting in the Holy of Hollies behind the curtain in the temple, a young Jewish Teacher (Rabbi) was proclaiming God to be everywhere and worse inside each one of the people. The message was so disruptive that Spiritual leaders of the time had their brains running in exception and crushing such that the only thing they could think off was to kill the messenger and stop the message. That is what I believe religion is doing to most of us today.

Occupation
The Jewish spiritual leaders preached a fear based religion while Jesus preached a message of freedom and exploits. Today, religion still infects followers with fear such that their ability to be innovative is constricted and only able to find solace in the coming Heaven. I submit to you today that the majority have not been thinking because they don't even know that they are not thinking. As a matter of fact Jesus said 'Greater things than these you shall you do'. Life is changing exponentially such that even the super computers in our brains has lagged behind. The believer who is supposedly talking to the Holy Ghost is equally being taken by surprise by technology. I wonder what we are discussing with the Holy Ghost that is if we are really talking to the One? We are at the tail end of receiving the effects of disruptive innovations which are changing the way we live and how we judge right or wrong. Innovation has changed to a level where countries have even began to print houses in a 24 hour time frame instead of relying on brick and mortar houses building procedures that take ages to build and complete a house (This uses a gigantic 3D Printer to do the Job on the physical ground). Its no longer OK to spend your life working without building your own business empire, to remain as tail end vendors that gather coins. Religion has done more harm to our mindset and personal worth such that we think being holy and good people is the best you can be. But being holy and broke is the worst evil you can ever be because you can never impact others positively and above all you can never be the light to others because there is definitely no light in your life for others to see and learn how they can rise from the yoke of poverty   

If you want to overcome barriers to reaching your goals in life, you better saddle up and learn to use the power of disruptive thinking. Don't use your yesterday's story how the ancestors lived to change your future. How do you move?

1. Challenge the Status Quo
So far you have played the game of the crowd and you have only managed to get to where everyone is. But simply going along to get along is an ineffective strategy that often compromises values and relationships. Don’t be afraid to question institutional memory, so-called best practices or decisions that appear problematic. You have prayed, fasted and given financial seed to spiritual leaders and you have been waiting for that illusive break though that never crosses your path. You have enjoyed the bible story and have been too afraid to find out the truth hidden behind the story. You keep lying to yourself by believing that the hidden should remain with God and the known for you. You are afraid to be called an outside if you question the status quo that never produces any fruit. You believe you are a believer with fruits that have so far been invisible.Surely there is something you are missing. When you brag about success you give examples of Steve Jobs the Apple creator, Bill Gates etc. yet you never ask the questions regarding the story behind the glory of these men and women. You want to change circumstances without changing the cause of it. You believe you can harvest Oranges from a Guava tree. Ask yourself the question, where does God reside? Because where ever you have been looking for Him, He will never be found because according to Jesus, He lives inside you. Think and Stop doing the same thing over and over hoping to get a different result. Somebody called that madness. Whatever, you have been waiting for is already inside you and you have been waiting with it.
