Restoration

2010 is a year of restoration. I have not met anyone who is not looking forward to a glorious year ahead. We may be on day 8 out of 365 days but rest assured I am not diminished in my expectation that this year will be great, awesome, glorious, joyous, filled with celebrations, ground breaking, fulfilling, overcoming... the best I have ever had.

Many people talk of the suffering of Job, few ever speak of the double restoration that he received. I have made up my mind that in 2010 I will experience restoration in any area of life I have suffered. If God could do it for Job, then please move out of the way because I am next in line for God's blessing.

What does one need to do to see the results that Job saw? Firstly, make sure you have a relationship with God that is based on the right perspective. When your view is obscured you cannot make the right decisions. Ask yourself if you are walking with Him., the Creator of the Universe. Change your view of God from the punishing God to the One who is boasting about me., the All Wise Great I Am. Job first made his relationship right before God gave him counsel of what to do.

Secondly, learn to listen to Heavenly instructions. For Job it was to pray for others. Ask God for instructions on what you need to do to get into your Canaan-2010. When the children of Israel stepped into Canaan in the book of Joshua it was a moment of restoration. God was taking them back to the place of promise. Restoration will take you to the place where God restores you wholly to the glory of His name. The victory at Jericho was fought following instructions from the Captain of the hosts. What instructions is God speaking to you for 2010? Follow those instructions and 2010 will lead you into the place of green pastures, the place of victory, the place of greatness!! Prayer and the Word of God will help you follow the instructions of God.

May 2010 be your year of restoration. Once restored you will be able to soar to the place God had ordained for you. May your latter be greater than your former. Get ready to step into your more than enough place!!!

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...
