A.R.I.S.E.

While thinking of the times we are living in, everyone has a choice to make going forward. It's a choice that will determine the outcome of our lives in 2012.We live in days that have been described by some as the darkest ever in many fronts. Isaiah, the prophet, spoke of darkness covering the earth and gross darkness the people but commanded the children of covenant to ARISE as the Lord would arise over His people Is 60:1-2. How should we as God's children then arise?

A: Attentively. When soldiers are called to arise it's never at ease unless   instructed. Don't go into 2012 standing lazily, but be attentive in your posture to possess that which God has for you. Pay heed to opportunities that lie ahead.

R: Ready. Be ready to move to the next level. Don't go into 2012 choosing to remain the same but have it in mind that you are moving forward. Kangaroos only move forward never hoping backwards no matter the circumstances.

I: Instruction. Be willing to listen and seek for instructions. Unteachable people never possess their dreams. Every dream is laced with instructions for its fulfilment. 

S: Study. In 2012, ensure you are counted as one who is willing to study that life may approve you 2 Tim 2:15 KJV. 

E: Encouragement. Don't allow the news and events surrounding you to paint your life. Colour your life with consistent and constant encouragement which will act as a boost to your wings enabling you to fly higher in 2012. Look to God as the lifter of your head in life and see how you will rise.

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 ...
