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 ...

Dont Go Back to Egypt

Day 207 Reading: Jeremiah 42:1 - Jeremiah 45:5 When life's blows strike us our response matters more than we realise. Many believers today are in a place of bewilderment because life has dealt blows that have knocked the wind out of them. As a result, many are questioning whether God is still God. Reading the Book of Jeremiah I have been encouraged to trust in God at all times.  The remnant children of Israel upon seeing the King of Babylon conquer them asked Jeremiah to seek the mind of God regarding their desire to go to Egypt. The same pattern of thinking that their forefathers had in saying let's go back to Egypt was on display generations after. Many people don't realise the importance of right thinking. God delivered the children of Israel out of Egypt, to desire to go there for safety is a smack to God in the face! When faced with trouble don't allow the thinking of God helps those who help themselves send you to Egypt. It's a death trap! Man...
