The Call

The success of 2010 is dependant on me and not the environment. Many times we live life through the eyes of "if" but I have been convinced that that is not the case when certain criteria is fulfilled. I pray that as you go through the year you will pursue destiny with a passion to see your destiny fulfilled.

I find the book of Isaiah very interesting. This is one book that I find very encouraging. We begin by encountering God's call to reason with Him. The call of God is to enable one to come to the place of promise. 2010 will be a majestic year for those willing and obedient to the purposes and intentions of God. I believe that without willingness and obedience one cannot enter into the plan, purpose, or destiny that God has planned for us.

In the midst of this we see Isaiah undergo a very personal moment. Not only was he already functioning in his place of calling but in Isaiah 6 we see a moment of transformation. As I read these words it became clear to me that God is asking the question "Whom shall I send and who will go for Us? Isa 6:8". We live in a world that could easily fit the description of the first 5 chapters in Isaiah, yet God is looking for someone who can represent Him. The question is one of willingness and obedience to the revealed will that determines how far one can go.

I want to encourage you that as you go through 2010 walk as one who is willing to pursue God, and live a life of obedience to the purposes of God. Humble yourself before the Creator, and watch Him elevate you into greatness. Seek the purpose of God and 2010 will be filled with an overflow of the blessings of God.

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 ...

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...

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...
