I Am Called

Many times we face situations that cause us to doubt our identity. We are faced with onslaughts everyday that if not attended to can easily lead to a disheartened posture towards life. Life was not meant to be a place where we drown!! Life is a place for us to display the glory of God. Life is a place for me to show forth the goodness and mercy of God.

As we continue on the bible reading challenge we today begin Jeremiah. The first chapter sets a scene of the God's calling and ordination of this prophet. From the conversation that God has with Jeremiah, certain truths are set forth that am I am willing to embrace.

Firstly, I am called and ordained of God. My calling is not man-made but originates from the mouth of God. No one, nothing in life can change the fact that God has called me. I am ordained of Him for Him by Him. Secondly and importantly, my ordination was not decided when I showed up on mother earth. God had me in mind before creation. No life situation can overcome what God has already registered about me. I have a choice to make. Do I identify with the purpose of God or do I choose the plans of man? I choose the purpose, design, plan, ordination of God.

Identify the purpose of God for your life and see His power manifest His glory in all you do. Walk the path He has set for you and see Him perform His Word in power and might. Don't despise yourself. Don't allow any human limitation hinder your fulfilling the plan of God. Listen to what the Word is saying and see your life elevate into the supernatural realm. Proclaim the Word of God and see the God of the Word move on your behalf.

A better tomorrow

Everyone is hopeful for a better tomorrow. That's why we say "Good morning" at the start of the day. It's an indicator of the hope within that welcomes the dawning of a new day to bring better fortunes our way. God's mercies are new every morning and His compassion does not fail. When faced with adversity it becomes harder to see a better tomorrow, but resilient people are focused on the fact that trouble is only a comma in the sentence of life. At a time where fear has gripped many hearts because of various reasons, it is difficult to remain hopeful. Without hope, you cannot have the faith necessary to live. Faith is the substance of what is hoped for. Faith gives hope tangibility. To be without hope is to open the door of low living. Hopelessness is the start of damnation in life. You and I were born for a reason. We are not just statistics, making up numbers in any particular nation. You and I were born to reign in life. That situation that has so far made...

Lessons From A Parable

Day 259 Reading: Luke 14:1 - Luke 16:31 The thoughts that God has for you are too many to be counted. Jesus while speaking asked the disciples if they knew the number of hairs that fall off their head? Jesus told them that God is so interested in the minute details about us that He knows when one hair falls down. God is so detailed about our lives because He is good. When you embrace the goodness of God by understanding that God's love towards us is immeasurable. Whilst reading today's passages my heart was refreshed as I read a very famous parable featuring the prodigal son.   Jesus tells us of two sons and a father. The younger son asked for his inheritance and left home leaving the elder son and his father.  The younger went to a faraway land and wasted his life. He soon was dead broke, deserted by his new found friends and looking for a job. He soon was working for a farmer feeding his pigs. His job must have been so mundane with low pay as he ate the food the...

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 ...
