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.

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 ...

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...

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...
