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.

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 ...

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...

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...
