Exodus

You and I are on a journey. Exodus is about the journey to freedom. Its a story of God's salvation and love for His people. This book tells us not only of God's power but also shows us His faithfulness at maintaining the promises given in His covenant with Abraham.

I don't know what you may be experiencing but I want to encourage you to know that you are being set up to get out of the jail you may be facing. In Exodus we see the the children of God move from a position of favour to slavery before their redemption. We also an awesome display of God's power. In Exodus we have the first of the laws that God gave His people. Also in Exodus we see a dimension of the glory of God that causes the heart to tremble at the majesty of the Great I Am; we see not only the merciful side of grace but encounter the judgement seat of God.

Exodus is filled with great covenant promises. It's in Exodus God introduces Himself as the I Am. God was introducing Moses to a dimension of intimacy through His name. A name is an identity and no name could limit the identity of God. In Exodus God assures us of our health as He is the Lord our healer. As you go through the journey of life always know that God is your Healer, healing you of the effects of the distractions and destruction of the enemy.

Finally, for me the most important thing about Exodus is the reason why they had to leave Egypt. Moses said he was sent to seek the release of God's people that they may go and worship God. God is seeking a people who will worship Him alone. Your exodus from slavery is dependant on your commitment to worship as a lifestyle. Creation was created to worship God not creation. My greatest stirring while reading Exodus is to examine my worship. Is there anything beclouding my worship to God? My mind is made up to worship Him alone without any encumbrances. Please join me in this walk of worship for therein you will be fulfilled.

A better tomorrow

Everyone is hopeful for a better tomorrow. That's why we say "Good morning" at the start of the day as it's an indicator of the hope within that welcomes the dawning of a new day to bring better fortunes our way. God's mercies are new every morning and His compassion's do not fail Lamentations 3:22-23 . When faced with adversity it becomes harder to see a better tomorrow; but resilient people are focused on the fact that trouble is only a comma in the sentence of life. At a time where fear has gripped many hearts because of various reasons it is difficult to remain hopeful. Without hope you cannot have the faith necessary to live. Faith is the substance of what is hoped for Hebrews 11:1 . Faith gives hope tangibility. To be without hope is to open the door of low living. as hopelessness is the start of damnation in life. You and I were born for a reason. We are not just statistics, making up numbers in any particular nation. You and I were born to reign in li

The Tongue

Day 295 Reading: James 1:1 - James 5:20 Whilst reading the Bible in each book I have sought to look for one main thing that is a focal point. I am sure you will agree that it's not simple to do that as each book in the Bible has numerous teachings that God desires we understand. While reading the Book of James my mind had many thoughts of what to blog. However, as I thought and prayed about it I felt I should blog about the tongue. James in writing this letter warns the believer that many destinies have been ruined by the tongue. When this small part of the body is not under God's control the havoc it can do is great. Just think of the many dictators in history. Many rose to the place of prominence because of their words.   You taste food with the tongue, not the hands that bring it to your mouth. Your eyes may see a meal and it may look delicious but the tongue will reveal whether what you saw was great to taste or not. This is the same with words. How do your words ta

Lessons From A Parable

Day 259 Reading: Luke 14:1 - Luke 16:31 The thoughts that God has for you are too many to be counted. Jesus while speaking asked the disciples if they knew the number of hairs that fall off their head? Jesus told them that God is so interested in the minute details about us that He knows when one hair falls down. God is so detailed about our lives because He is good. When you embrace the goodness of God by understanding that God's love towards us is immeasurable. Whilst reading today's passages my heart was refreshed as I read a very famous parable featuring the prodigal son.   Jesus tells us of two sons and a father. The younger son asked for his inheritance and left home leaving the elder son and his father.  The younger went to a faraway land and wasted his life. He soon was dead broke, deserted by his new found friends and looking for a job. He soon was working for a farmer feeding his pigs. His job must have been so mundane with low pay as he ate the food the
