God Come Quickly To Me

Day 214

Reading: Ezekiel 10:1 - Ezekiel 13:23

God,

I have read and heard of Your greatness. I can testify that yes I have seen You and know that of a truth You are the Living God. You have been there for me in the good and bad times. Thank You for loving me even when I doubted You. The more I read Your Word the more I am stirred to seek Your face. However, Lord, I am troubled. Troubled by many things. Troubled when I see the state of things in my world. Troubled by a feeling that I am wasting away striving to get somewhere and maybe I have chosen the wrong route to get to my destination. Troubled because my world is far from what Your promises say. Troubled because I can't see Your hand in my life. I seem to hear prophecies that never come to pass.

Will I arrive in Canaan? Will I see what I desire from You? Will I fulfil that which You have ordained me for? God, have I departed from Your will is a question I am constantly asking myself. Not because I think I have lost it but I can't see Your Word coming to pass like I once knew. Reading Ezekiel, I feel as though I have gone to captivity and my eyes have been removed. Forgive me for listening and entertaining to false prophets who spoke peace when a war was approaching. Forgive me for speaking from my heart and saying it was Your word when in reality I didn't hear what Heaven was saying.

As I sit here and look at my life, hearing all the things many are saying of me I can only cry to you, Lord, many say that I am finished. Even I wonder whether I will ever make it. Mockery has become my story. Many hear of me and shake their heads in disbelief. Will I declare your Word with power again? To substitute the lack of power I have chased intellectualism forgetting that You created the world by power and established it by wisdom. Power must go hand in hand with wisdom. Lord, I have given myself to the ways of the world and have not lived a life of faith in You. A life that is given to You and seeks only what You have.

My cry to You Lord is that You quicken Your promises to me. Lord, let there be no more delay in seeing Your Word fulfilled. The world is perishing and we can only cry to You. Restore me to the place You called me. Give me a heart of flesh, taking away the heart of stone that I may serve you out of a contrite and broken heart. Lord, I pray for a new season in my life. A season of restoration is what I desire. This letter is not only a cry for help, it's also a cry of repentance for only You can make me be the person You ordained. I cannot make myself. Lord make me and don't delay in making me! Thank you because I know my story will be Your story. This letter is also a reminder that God is loving and able to do great things. Thank You because I know my story will not remain the same. I will seek Your purposes over and above my purposes. I choose Your plans over mine. Lord, come quickly and surprise me. No more delay, let that be my story as You manifest Your good promises to me Joshua 21:45.

Your Loving Child.

Memory Verse: Ezekiel 12:23

Ezekiel 12:28

Therefore say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “None of My words will be postponed any more, but the word which I speak will be done,” says the Lord God.’ ” (italics mine)

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
