Divine Encounters

I have not blogged for the last 7 days for many reasons. One is because I felt a need to take time out and just recharge myself. Also I perceive that the spiritual atmosphere is changing. God is about to do something and I need to position myself for what He wants me to do. Divine opportunities fall onto those who are prepared. I have in the last few days had one word popping into my mind: ATTITUDE. I believe that there is an arising about to take place in many peoples lives. I believe that God's light is about to shine on those who have sat in darkness Micah 7:8-9 waiting on Him who enlightens the darkness Ps 18:28 because He is The Light. Your arising though will be affected by your attitude. The story of Jonah is one that touches me about the attitude to have when pursuing destiny. This gentleman choose to run away from God instead of obeying God. The story in the last chapter of the book of Jonah shows him complaining and being appreciative of God's mercy. Here was a man ...

Many times in life we are constantly faced with decisions that require change. Adversity is part and parcel of life. One of the biggest challenges we face today is that the blows of life seem to be stronger and mightier by the day. While on the phone today I realised the importance of not just a good attitude in life but also the importance of maintaining the right perception. The battles we face in life are about our inner vision. Your vision is where do you see yourself going. What plan does God have you? What purpose were born for? Why are you here? You and I were not born to drift around. I was born to fulfill destiny. That destiny is to worship God. That is the ultimate reason for creation. To worship Him and Him alone. A distracted vision results in distracted worship. Distracted worship leads to a distracted heart, hindering the inner perception. You need the light of God to see His vision. You and I need to see life through the vision of God. It's only through the Word that...

You and I are living in exciting times. The day of God's glory and power is not only coming but it is upon us just as God through His prophets spoke. I believe that we are at the pinnacle of a mighty move of God. In every decade through history we see a move of God that advances the kingdom of God. You and I have a pivotal role to play as the days go by. We are not called to drift through life but to fulfill purpose. You and I are the writing of God that humanity reads as they go through life. I believe that I am to be the expression of God's manifestation wherever I go. I am a covenant product and have the forces of covenant working on my behalf. As I walk within the boundaries of the covenant I access the promises and blessings of the covenant of Abraham. Before God can do anything we must be ready. To prepare ourselves for what he wants to do requires a number of steps. Repentance: There is a call to repent and come to the place where we worship God and de-clutter our lives ...

The world today is chasing knowledge at a rate that is incredible. Just the number of emails that are sent in a day from organisations inviting people to seminars as the proclaim to have some piece of knowledge that will empower shows that knowledge is in great supply. The way knowledge is used proves the old adage that knowledge is power is so true. For indeed what you know and what you don't could both be killing you. Daniel proclaims that there are benefits of having knowledge. Hosea declares that people perish for lack of knowledge. Not knowing having any working knowledge for a problem area leaves one in further trouble. Since it is accepted that knowledge is powerful, which knowledge should I pursue? God has always desired to have people who are seeking to have knowledge that is from Him. did you know that many inventors were men and women of faith. Sir Isaac Newton considered by many one of the greatest scientists that ever lived, the man behind the laws of mechanics and gr...

Days are really moving fast. It's the beginning of a new month. As we began this month today in our 90 day bible adventure we move into a new book, namely Daniel. The first chapter of this book lays a foundation that sets the pace for the entire book. Daniel and his friends were captives who were selected to serve under the King of the day. They were far from home and were suddenly thrust in the palace for training on the ways of their masters. There are two main things I want to point out from the first few verses of Daniel 1. Firstly, notice that Daniel had a name change but he is not referred to by that name. Amazingly his friends took on the names they were offered. Could this be the reason that Daniel who name means " God is judge" served many kings in a position of seniority? Yes his other friends also served in senior positions but Daniel was soon considered wiser that all the wise people who advised the king. Daniel refused to have his identity changed. He unders...

Everyone human being has a need for fulfillment. Part of that need is expressed by the desire to succeed in life. Another expression of the need is seen in our desire to be loved. Another way we seek fulfillment is found in our passion for betterment. We are born to solve problems and not remain in the same place. Eze 37:1-14 is one of the greatest passages of scripture. This few verses are replete with life. These scriptures reveal the mind of God regarding a situation that is not just dead but one that is forgotten. For 2010 to be a success I believe this passage has some keys that will aid our focus in our walk towards victory. Firstly, understand that God has ordained you as you step into the situation that is a valley in your life. No matter what you are dealing with, the Spirit of God is upon you. In Gen 1:2 we see that even though darkness covered the earth, the Spirit of God was hovering prepared to move when called into action! Here in the valley of dry bones it is similar t...
