Yesterday, when I came back from my walk, I was thinking how innovative businessmen and businesswomen are when it comes to selling their products. And today coming back from town it hit me, that they are also not slow to grasp  every and any opportunity to advertise their merchandise. Money!

McDonalds has something new for us.  A Family Dinner Box from $19.90. The Family Dinner Box is available from 5PM – 11PM.

Mother’s Day is on the 9th of May this year.

Another opportunity to advertise….. gifts for Mother’s Day. There are not many shops in Kaitaia at the present time where you cannot buy a gift for your mother. It seems that the town is full of gifts for mother. I hope you have bought a gift by now. Have you?

What an opportunity to make money.

Have you heard the Maori saying:

“He aha te mea nui o te ao? He tangata! He tangata! He tangata?”

Translated:

“What is the most important thing in the world? It is people! It is people! It is people!

I like that saying very much.

PEOPLE! PEOPLE! PEOPLE!

I am a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ. Am I missing opportunities to witness in Jerusalem – Kaitaia? Acts 1:8

In Romans 1:16 the apostle Paul says, “I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of  God for the salvation of…….”

In Acts 5:42 it says about the apostles, “…,they never stopped teaching and proclaiming the good news that Jesus is the Christ.”

Listen to what Paul says in First Corinthians 9:16: “….I am compelled to preach. Woe to me if I I do not preach the gospel!”

And remember also the words of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ about “the salt of the earth” and “the light of the world” in Matthew 5:13-16. Very solemn words indeed!
