You Can Do It

The book of Genesis is replete with stories of men and women who faced impossibilities and yet saw them became possibilities. Look at Adam and Eve. Their son was murdered by his brother. God sends Cain away, but how is the earth to be populated? They had to have another son, Seth. May be your dreams lie dead and buried. May be you have lost everything, but I want to encourage you that you can start all over again and make it very well.

Look at Abraham and Sarah. No child, but with everything else going for them. Yet at 90 she gave birth. Don't allow the world or anyone to speak death to your dream. Sarah laughed at 90 am sure amused at a God who didn't look at the age as anything to stop Him from giving Sarah her promise. It's never too late to achieve your dream. Jacob was conned by his father in law but refused to give up. Rebekah when childless refused to believe that she would be barren but held onto the covenant promise that she would mother mighty descendants for their lineage. Joseph saw his dream fulfilled even though he passed through a pit and a prison before the palace.

How do it I do it again?
  1. Plan: It took preparation is important when setting out on a journey. Abraham stepped out to sacrifice Isaac with all he needed. Wherever God is leading you plan before you go. No sports personality ever made it big without developing themselves for the race.
  2. Have faith: No one ever made it with God without faith. If your faith is lacking develop it. Faith is not mental assent. Too many people think mental assent is faith but faith is of the heart.
  3. Move: No point talking about your plans and not fulfilling them. Abraham moved to the place God told him. Jacob stepped into the place of his calling and saw his name change. Step out and step into your dreams and see your name change from failure to success.
  4. Be thankful. Even Noah was grateful that the waters had receded. Be grateful for every small step as you step out.
The world is waiting for you. Imagine if Eve never had another child....my what a dilemma for God!! But God has put it within us the capacity to arise above every challenge as we place out hands into His awesome hands.

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 ...
