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.

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 ...

Blessing or ....

To live well is one thing we all desire. I have never met anyone who did not want to live well. By living well for some people it means helping others. For others it means having a successful business. Yet for others it means travelling the world. I have discovered that it is not money that empowers but the blessing of God that empowers. Money is simply one of the many ways that the effects of the blessing may show up. Many times today in society we confuse money with being blessed yet people like Mother Teresa did not flaunt money but her life still is blessing many people round the world. The book of Deuteronomy has challenged me to desire to be blessed. Anyone who has walked with the blessing of God in their live has seen doors open that are a struggle for others. Yesterday I wrote about obedience. What obedience opens our lives to is the operation of the blessing. By choosing to obey the Word we are choosing to open our lives to be blessed. The purpose of being blessed is not self ...

It is Settled

Day 296 Reading: 1 Peter 1:1 - 1 Peter 5:14 Challenges are the way of life. We celebrate winners because they overcome hurdles. Think about it, how many times do we celebrate those who innovate or break into new frontiers. The Wright brothers did what no other person had done. They flew a plane. They conquered the law of gravity with the law of flight. Was it a one day exercise? No, it took years. The worked on a plane from 1899 to 1903 when a power plane flew and continued to perfect it and the first practical aeroplane flew in 1905. Thomas Edison is celebrated for inventing the light bulb which he displayed after many failed experiments to get it to work.  Peter in writing to the churches encourages the believers to understand the place of process. He helps the believer understand the period between the trial and deliverance or a miracle is necessary. It's necessary for you and me to learn about trusting God fully. Peter exhorts the believer to fully rest his or her ...
