I Am Persuaded

You only do what you do because you have placed some form of value to it. For example, I believe in God and therefore see my life through His view point as I am convinced that a God centred life is fulfilling and purposeful. Recently I was reminded that in life we are in agreement either with the circumstances of life or with the convictions within that generate hope for a better tomorrow. I just need to jot down some persuasions and address the many circumstances in life that are attempting to speak.
  • I am persuaded that God is God. No arguments or disputes about who God is; He is God.
  • I am persuaded that God is in control. The world may not think so, the news may not show it but God is in total charge of the earth and heavens.
  • I am persuaded that God is able to do what I commit to Him 2 Timothy 1:12b. Irrespective of what life has offered, irrespective of the challenges I have faced, irrespective of what appears to be impossible, irrespective of the tough times we are living in, I am convinced that God is able to do what I require of Him.
  • I am persuaded that God's purpose for me is better than any good idea that life may present. His Word is clear that His plans are for good, health and well being Jeremiah 29:11. Why chase anything less than that?
  • I am persuaded and convinced that God's order is the best. A life lived outside the orderliness of God is a life without the covering provided by order. When you operate under a canopy of order you find things easily, ask anyone who has a messy work table. God's order creates symmetry between promise and fulfilment.
  • I am persuaded that God's wisdom is the best antidote to living life. God created the world, holds it together by His wisdom; why should I not use His wisdom to be fulfilled in life. I purposed to seek His wisdom continually to supplement the knowledge that we human beings have acquired as I pursue destiny in uplifting lives that are wounded.
  • I am persuaded that God is mindful of me even when life sometimes seems lonely and unappealing Psalms 8:4. God is my reward and supplier.
  • I am persuaded that God wants me to eat the good of the land. God did not design me for struggling through life; He designed me to succeed and prosper in all areas of life. I am designed for success and not failure.
I, like Abraham, am fully convinced that what God has promised, He is able to fulfill it Romans 4:21.

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 ...
