Who Is In Control?

Everywhere you go today the question of who is in control is all over the airwaves. Are you in control of your finances, home, business, marriage, relationship or even self? Practically everywhere one turns today you will find people coaching, teaching, preaching, training, talking, writing, blogging about being in control. Great topic but I have serious questions with the foundation of alot of what people are saying.

The Word of God is clear that God is the Potter we are the clay. Life is to be lived in accordance to what the Potter wants. Control is in the hands of the Potter. Is this not the reason David said that power belongs to God? He stated that he heard this twice not once Psalms 62:11. The Potter decides what shape the clay takes. The clay does not instruct the potter what shape it will take. when the process Too many of us are telling the Potter what shape we want. Prayer has become a monologue where the Potter is treated like a servant with instructions of what we want. No wonder much prayer is unanswered.

For 2010 to be great, I am convinced that we must take our rightful position. This position is the place where we are malleable. It's a position of acknowledging that yes I am the created on a lease here on earth and to succeed I need the Creator aka The Potter. God is looking for a person who is not only willing but is compliant with His requirements. The Potter has issued instructions for the clay that when consumed they make the whole process of transformation easier. Allow God to be in control and watch how everything will line up in your life. give God the authority that actually belongs to Him and watch as He bestows glory on you as you subdue the earth.

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 ...
