A New Name

Well done to everyone who is walking through this journey. I want to first congratulate you for daring to start this adventure. Whether you are at the beginning of reading for day 1 or at the end of day 2 you are worthy of congratulations. Always remember that not many people start on a dream. They just dream or talk. At least you have began doing something and that is worthy of appreciation. Always remember that we are here to encourage one another through this lifetime opportunity of reading the world's best seller of all time: the Bible. So dont give up or give in! Press on,great tresures lie ahead awaiting our discoveries.

The bible is not only about God's love for man but it's about God introducing Himself to mankind. In today's reading God introduced Himself to Abram as the All Sufficient One.-Almighty. During this encounter the names of the participants were changed into covenant names that set them on a flight path of destiny. Notice all this time God has introduced the promise to them of a son but He became personal in this covenant encounter that He showed them a different side of His nature revealing a different name. This change of name revealed a change in season. Whenever God introduces Himself we see a different dimension of glory.

Yesterday I noted how God is God of process. Part of this process in Abraham's case was to change his mindset by changing his name. You respond to what you are called. Being called Abraham activated faith for a promise seed that was lying within. For the seed to grow, as the Word is seed, you must cultivate, nurture and protect it. By agreeing to speak the language of The All Sufficient One you are saying that nothing is too hard for Him and thereby developing the seed.

I encourage you to press on. Sarah was told of an appointed season, may this season be your appointed season to pursue, overtake and recover all that God has destined for you. Now is the season for your name to be changed. May you walk in the fullness of the name heaven has over your life. When God changed Abram to Abraham and Sarai to Sarah He was announcing to them that they were coming out of the pit they were in. I want to introduce to you one thought that has stayed with me all day today "I Am Coming Out!" This couple came out of a prison called unfulfilled expectations and entered the land of fulfillment. I am next....God bless.

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 ...
