Going On

Soon we will enter 2010. Over the last few days I have sought to prepare my mind for 2010. and hopefully you have been doing the same. As I have read the Word of God I have sought for wisdom that will enable me to soar in 2010. My prayer is that the next decade will be one where you notice noticeable change in all that pertains to you.

In today's reading we meet David the king again. As I wrote earlier, the book of Chronicles is history told from another point of view. I want to mention two things as we prepare to cross over into 2010. Firstly, the people of Israel understood that God had called David. I am amazed that even though they were not there when Samuel prophesied to him, they clearly saw the call of God over his life and agreed with it. In 2010 may the environment, circumstances, life agree with the prophecy concerning your life's purpose. He was crowned King over Israel as they agreed with the entire prophecy that had preceded him all his life. In 2010 may you be crowned king/queen in life.

The second and most important for me was that David went on and became great. This statement says alot. Many start but don't become great. Many dream but don't become. Many aspire but don't perspire to inspire. How did David go on? The bible is filled with stories of how he fought battles to become the great king. I want to encourage you that as you enter 2010 wage the good fight of faith. Don't give up on God. David was accompanied in all his goings by the Lord of hosts. As you enter 2010 may you be accompanied by the Great I Am.

Press on and become great in 2010.

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...
