Your future is bright!

The bible begins by declaring that God created the universe before telling us how darkness covered the earth. The story doesn't end there but God begins to speak light and life into being. Your life may so far appear to be like Genesis 1:1-2 but am glad that God set up a template of what would happen anytime darkness seemed to envelope our lives. He spoke into the darkness and said "Let there be light Genesis 1:3"; words that are still echoing even today.

You and I are not boxed in by the circumstances we face. You and I have the capacity to transform our environment using the God given authority that is inherent in us. At creation God decided that humanity would be made in His image and likeness(Genesis 1:26-28). Being made in the image and likeness of God makes me a copy of the Creator of the Universe. If He spoke into darkness and light covered the earth then as one made in His image and likeness I should speak into every form of darkness covering my life and see results. 

The reason we don't see results that are God like is simply a question of our faith. To see God like results requires our hearts and minds to be united in faith in the ability of God to move on our behalf. I would encourage you to have God like faith to see God like results that we are created to see. Make the choice in the face of adversity to be God like in all you do and watch as your life begins to burst forth with glory. Your best days are ahead of you as long as you understand the power of being God-conscious and walking in it. May heaven and earth arise to toast you in celebration of your glorious future!!

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...
