Divine Encounters

Sometimes in life we find ourselves in a place that's between a rock and a hard place. That place can be defined as a place where on a miracle can turn things around. In such moments I have come to discover that only a divine encounter can turn around the situation. There are many things that can be said about such circumstances but I want to focus on one thing today and that is the fact that God is always on time. He is never late.  Look at Mary and Martha in John 11 who sent for Jesus as their brother and Jesus' friend Lazarus was sick. The limitation they had placed that the only time a miracle could be worked was while Lazarus was ill was destroyed when Jesus appeared 4 days after Lazarus had died and apparently out of time for a miracle He gave them one. God is never late even if the situation or person is dead. Remember Abraham and Sarah, they were without a child and it never seemed like they would ever have a child. But they held onto the promise of God and at 90 yea...

I woke up today very aware that God is not dead. Just because there are challenges to face does not mean He has forgotten you. One thing that this age we are living in will do is to test our hearts. The main question we have to answer is "Are we living our own purpose and plan or are we living in accordance to the plan and purposes of God?". Many today don't know that they are selfish in their living as they are chasing their own dream and not God's plan. Our thoughts are not His thoughts and neither are our ways His way Isaiah 55:8. Fulfilment is only found in living His dream plans. Everyday we are faced with a choice; a test of faith where everyday you and I are invited to live life in a theatre watched by the world, satan and God. Your actions, opinions, values, words, all point towards where your faith really is. If your heart and mind are not synchronised with the word of God you will soon discover that your life is not responding as its facing ...

I get to listen to many people everyday as part of my work. I enjoy it and would not do it if I did not enjoy it. One of the many things I have come to realise is that whenever relationships, at whatever level, break down in life it is because someone stopped celebrating the good points of life that the other person brings.  The world has taught us that we only appreciate people when something is done that benefits us whereas we forget to appreciate the small things like a friend being there even when they don't bring something great to the table. I have come to discover that the day we stop appreciating one another it is easier to lie to one another. If I appreciate you I will so value you that I will not go down the route of making a mountain of a mole hill because my eyes see the greater good in you. I have come to a place where I have realised that when we celebrate the good in each other, it's easy to deal with the stepping on one another's toes. It takes work to alwa...

We are almost at the middle point of the year. Many will at this time be taking stock of their lives seeking to evaluate their goals and targets for this year and will re-evaluate to see the progress made. As I sat and meditated about the year so far, God reminded me that its important to give thanks. I may not be where I wanted to be at the beginning of the year but one thing I will do is be grateful to God for where I am as I am a living testimony that miracles still occur. The future may look bleak to some because of the economic forecasts, but still I choose to give thanks because I am alive. The mere fact that I am alive is proof that I still have a reason to hope against all odds that I will turn the corner of life and see my dream come to pass. The medical report may be speaking of doom, the business may be facing a winding up order, still I insist on giving thanks. However bad things look, there is still one thing that you and I can rejoice and give thanks over and that is the...

As this month of June begins, I felt impressed to pray and ask God for "Understanding". As I meditated on this in the morning I wondered why I needed to make that kind of prayer. Whilst still thinking and meditating I realised that without understanding I have only knowledge which is not able to cause a revolution in life. Understanding is able to open up knowledge and allows one to use knowledge for their advantage. Understanding is what exposes one to revelation that unlocks the doorway to the miraculous; it  is having the veil over knowledge removed and enables one to access the power inherent in the knowledge. Without understanding you may know the promises of God for your life and not see the power locked in them released. Too many times I have walked in life knowing the promises but now with my eyes opened to understand I am able to comprehend what God has and thus unlock the forces locked within the promise. Understanding enables one to walk in obedience Psalms 32:9 ;...
