Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
2 Corinthians 4:16-18
What is the unseen? Did you know that:
1- For some people D7 Church is the highlight of their week. Greatness is not what great people say about you. Greatness is what ordinary people, who can benefit you nothing say about you.
2- Church is their only hope. The reason for people to relocate just to join us wanting to be part of an awesome team and a church with a big vision. People that came to Christ through our hard work are now reaping the benefits of a new life.
3- We are building an awesome church. People wanting to give to our church because they have recognised God's work throught us. D7 Arena, we can’t lose sight of it. If you can see it you can have it. D7 is a church with a big vision.
And since breakthrough might be just around the corner what should we do? Here at D7 Church we do the following:
1) We keep on showing up.
At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up.
Galatians 6:9
Half of the battle is showing up. History is not kind to people who go back. People who haven’t realised going back is never better will always struggle to find a reason to keep going in the face to adversity.The Millions who went back from the brink of Canaan did not write the next chapter of the Bible, but Joshua and Caleb did.
2) We expect great things to happen.
To expect is to believe something will happen.
“ ...‘I am the LORD... Is anything too hard for Me?’”
Jeremiah 32:27
3) We press on.

... but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us.
Philippians 3:13-14
Philippians 3:13-14
There is only one way and that is FORWARD! We've burned the bridges, locked the door and thrown the key out. We are in this until the end, we are pressing own with sharp focus towards the prize.
