The Adventure- Reading the Word

Today marked a new beginning of a learning adventure. To read the world's best seller in a set number of days. Its not just about reading it but to also encourage my friends who are walking through this adventure with me. Surely our lives will never be the same again. So over the next few days-90 days to be precise- I will blog on a daily basis my thoughts as I undertake this challenge. My reason for blogging is to encourage others. I have found that I am most alive when am encouraging others. That's what I live for: to be an encourager always. Life at times can be discouraging thus the need for relationships that can bring encouragement. Encouraging words today are like water to a thirsty soul. So as you read I hope you are encouraged to be the best that God intended for you.

God is a God of process. He could have spoken the whole world into being but instead followed a process in creation.Many times when faced with a problem all I want is a solution but fail to see that God works differently from my human perspective. God is not into fast foods but into principles that govern processes.When He was faced with a challenge as found in Gen 1:2 He first spoke light. The process to the solution is to first seek for light that will illuminate. Did you know that you cannot create matter in a vacuum? Ever heard the expression "creating something from nothing", that what creating light in darkness is. Darkness at times connotes a vacuum. You cannot live in a vacuum. Human beings lose consciousness in a vacuum.

One very important quality that one requires to go through this challenge is to be persistent. Reading the Word is not like watching a movie. Some parts of the Word we may not understand why they are there but they are life and spirit to our very souls. The Word of God is life. Read it and see the life of God ooze out of you. Read it and watch your life become transformed before your very eyes.

Now is....

Everyday I seek to share something that I have learnt through the daily reading. I make a choice to discipline myself not to write too much as we inundated with a lot of reading material. Feel free to add comments because that way we share and thus encourage one another to grow into the fullness of Christ. Today I am amazed at the fact that God will always remember His covenant and fulfill the promise. I want to list five words in the order they appear in one scripture that showed God is at work in our lives. Remembered : My God will never forget me. To be delayed is not to be denied as God will surely remember. God spoke and said to Sarah that He would return at the appointed time; at the right season!!! I do believe that we are in a season where we will see God begin to act on the promises that seem forgotten. Or better put in another way there is a resurrection of seemingly forgotten prophecies that is about to take place. Dry bones are beginning to take shape. Listened : No longer

Absalom's Treachery

Day 91 Reading: 2 Sam. 14:1 - 2 Sam. 15:37 One of life's most painful lessons is the treachery of human beings. When family or friends hurt you and leave you grieving the pain is not the same as when someone out on the street does something wrong. The pain goes deeper and it's easy to become bitter. Absalom had fled from Israel knowing that he was a wanted man for the murder and revenge on Ammon his step-brother. Joab arranged for a wise woman to go see David and get him to forgive Absalom. The wise woman made David realise that he was not setting a godly example by exiling Absalom. The wise woman made David understand that God will not banish anyone but he will seek the person out. God will do everything in His power to restore the banished person. The wise woman was asking David not to forget the grace of God that enables one to enjoy forgiveness. David gets Absalom brought back to Jerusalem however for 2 years he didn't see him. Now, this was worse than

Dont Go Back to Egypt

Day 207 Reading: Jeremiah 42:1 - Jeremiah 45:5 When life's blows strike us our response matters more than we realise. Many believers today are in a place of bewilderment because life has dealt blows that have knocked the wind out of them. As a result, many are questioning whether God is still God. Reading the Book of Jeremiah I have been encouraged to trust in God at all times.  The remnant children of Israel upon seeing the King of Babylon conquer them asked Jeremiah to seek the mind of God regarding their desire to go to Egypt. The same pattern of thinking that their forefathers had in saying let's go back to Egypt was on display generations after. Many people don't realise the importance of right thinking. God delivered the children of Israel out of Egypt, to desire to go there for safety is a smack to God in the face! When faced with trouble don't allow the thinking of God helps those who help themselves send you to Egypt. It's a death trap! Man
