The Final Arbiter

Whose report will you believe? My mind is made up that I will hold the Word of God as the final arbiter of life. The bible is a collection not of fables but it's laden with promises that reveal the mind of God. The bible has not just promises but also shows us the history of God's intention for mankind. As I have been reading the bible I have come to see God's love and mercy towards humanity. I want to list reasons why you should have the bible as the final arbiter of your life.
  • The Word of God is creative.
  • The Word of God is powerful.
  • The bible contains promises that are an invitation of God.
  • The bible is an offer that elevates us from bondage to liberty; subscribe to it.
  • The bible reveals the thoughts of God that are life transforming.
  • The Word of God is prescriptive providing healing.
  • The Word of God is a map of the future; describing our destiny.
  • The Word of God reveals the ways of life that empower us to possess destiny.
  • The Word of God is the best food for the soul, providing therapy to the seeking soul.
  • The Word of God is an invitation to a glorious life that is purposeful.
  • Trusting the God of the Word activates the Word to work effectively in our lives.
  • The Word of God is light, brighter than the Sun, illuminating the darkness that life's circumstances sometimes creates.
  • The Word of God is instructive; a compass for the map that the bible already is.
  • The Word is the best prayer guide ever written!!
God is looking for a person who trembles at His Word. Do you want to attract God? Have a contrite humble disposition to life and hold the Word in the highest regard and see the God of the Word move towards you.

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...
