Get Praising

The Psalms encourage us to be a people of covenant. As one reads the psalms one discovers that they are filled with promises for life. I encourage you to search the scriptures for the promises that God has made for you in the Psalms and see what greatness lies within.

One such promise is to be still and know that God is God!! As you walk through 2010, it's important you maintain knowledge of who God is. To walk about life without knowing that God is with in control is to open your life to lies of the enemy. Whatever circumstances you are facing understand that God is in control. That is why God could command rain, speak to a rock for water to flow, etc. No matter what you are facing God is in control.

Another promise is that He crowns the year with His goodness. God does this because everything belongs to Him. The reason 2010 will be great and awesome is because God has crowned it. A crown is a distinction that comes from great achievement. This year we will have great crowning moments.

God has promised to bring you out of affliction into a place of rich fulfillment. In 2010 declare the Word of God over your life. The Word of God is life and the promises have the capacity to bring one into the place of fulfillment. The power inherent in the Word is such that it brings you out of bondage to a prosperous place. As you praise God may you enter into all that God thinks about 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...
