A New Name

Well done to everyone who is walking through this journey. I want to first congratulate you for daring to start this adventure. Whether you are at the beginning of reading for day 1 or at the end of day 2 you are worthy of congratulations. Always remember that not many people start on a dream. They just dream or talk. At least you have began doing something and that is worthy of appreciation. Always remember that we are here to encourage one another through this lifetime opportunity of reading the world's best seller of all time: the Bible. So dont give up or give in! Press on,great tresures lie ahead awaiting our discoveries.

The bible is not only about God's love for man but it's about God introducing Himself to mankind. In today's reading God introduced Himself to Abram as the All Sufficient One.-Almighty. During this encounter the names of the participants were changed into covenant names that set them on a flight path of destiny. Notice all this time God has introduced the promise to them of a son but He became personal in this covenant encounter that He showed them a different side of His nature revealing a different name. This change of name revealed a change in season. Whenever God introduces Himself we see a different dimension of glory.

Yesterday I noted how God is God of process. Part of this process in Abraham's case was to change his mindset by changing his name. You respond to what you are called. Being called Abraham activated faith for a promise seed that was lying within. For the seed to grow, as the Word is seed, you must cultivate, nurture and protect it. By agreeing to speak the language of The All Sufficient One you are saying that nothing is too hard for Him and thereby developing the seed.

I encourage you to press on. Sarah was told of an appointed season, may this season be your appointed season to pursue, overtake and recover all that God has destined for you. Now is the season for your name to be changed. May you walk in the fullness of the name heaven has over your life. When God changed Abram to Abraham and Sarai to Sarah He was announcing to them that they were coming out of the pit they were in. I want to introduce to you one thought that has stayed with me all day today "I Am Coming Out!" This couple came out of a prison called unfulfilled expectations and entered the land of fulfillment. I am next....God bless.

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
