And the Sun/Son stood still....

We all need a miracle at some point or other in life. Many times in the midst of life we cry out for more time...if only I had more time I could have done this!!!! That's a common phrase today which is not only famous with exam writers but in life today we seem to be asking for more time.

Today while at work a friend and colleague asked me regarding the miracle where the sun stood still. This provoked a thought in my mind. That God is able to stop time to allow me to fight my battle and conquer my enemy. I want to encourage the person who thinks that they are losing on time as the battle rages in life. I want to encourage the person who thinks that the clock is ticking and hey has God forgotten me as the day is nearly over!!! I want to encourage the person who is looking at the Joneses and wondering when will I catch up!!! I want to comfort the person who is wondering whether life is just passing them by!!! If God could stop the movement of the sun to allow total victory then anything is possible. All Joshua did was ASK. Another word for prayer.

I also remembered another place in the bible where the SON stood still. While Jesus was walking by He was called out by a blind man who had raged a battle all his life. This man called out on the Son of David and stopped Jesus on his tracks. He encountered his miracle after stopping the Son. with his worship. I want to encourage you that as you read the Word, worship the Author and Finisher of our faith and watch as the Son stops and responds to you by calling you out. Your time for a miracle is here......get ready....the battle is over!!!

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 ...

From the Pit to Safety

The news about the miners rescue has filled the atmosphere with a real lever of optimism. What began as a sad tale has ended well. As I have followed this story over the last 69 days I have had a few thoughts about some of the symbolism of this whole experience. In life we all will find ourselves in a pit (mine) of some sort.Thus the decision to see what I could learn from these great gentlemen. Firstly, they were miners. Do you realise that we all are miners in life? You may not mine for copper but as a lawyer you are mining legal matters that bring you profit. You may be a doctor whose responsibility is to mine to the root of the issue that is troubling a patients body!! We all are mining for a living!!! The miners numbered 33. Jesus was 33 when He was buried. After He died He was buried before He arose. We saw 33 men come out alive. Talk about a resurrection in their lives and in the lives of the men, families, and nation. Each miner underwent change. Whilst in the darkness of th...

Arise!!

The world today is one where many feel as though life is beating them down. The different challenges we face in this journey called life have punched many down and out. The fuel price increases, the job cuts, economic recession in different parts of the world, government changes either through the ballot or bullet, governments going broke, floods, drought, to just but name a few things facing many in the world today. It's difficult to go to a party and you don't hear bad news relating to someone you know. The world is changing. The weather patterns are affected by global warming, societal values held by previous generations are being obliterated by the ones following, and guess what, life for many is a nightmare. Today, I want to encourage that person who is lying down beaten by life. We all at times go through situations in life where we are down. It may appear that life's challenges have handed down a technical knockout blow, but humanity was not made to be beaten by lif...
