Preparation

Life can be the most interesting movie to watch. The twists and turns that life brings our way either make or break a person. My mind is made up that in 2010 I will make it happen. No matter what twist or turn life may throw my way my heart is resolved that the Word of God over my life will be the foundation for every day of living. I have a lot I can write today but will keep it short as this is a blog not a book.

Before Esther was presented to the King she spent time preparing with the best. Too many times we give God just the remains of our life and don't spend time preparing. I would encourage you all to spend time preparing for 2010 and the days ahead.

Your life is today is preparation for eternity. Time is nothing in comparison with eternity. Note that how you prepare will determine whether you pass the exam called life. This exam is examined by God the Giver of Life. Understand that the King is extending His scepter for you to come in and invite Him to a banquet. In that banquet He will dine with you and issue commands that will empower you.

How did Esther prepare? She prepared using beauty preparations. This speaks of worship. This also speaks of prayer. She was tucked away for 12 months preparing to meet the King. Will you by the end of 2010 be ready to meet the King? We see her preparing to meet the king later with fasting. Develop a habit of fasting.

I know that its already 5 days into 2010, but you can still prepare for the remaining 360day. After preparation she obtained grace and favour. May you obtain grace and favour for all your endeavours in 2010.

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 ...

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 ...
