I Still Believe

Life is full of twists and turns that sometimes just take the wind out of us. Over the last few weeks speaking with friends and also hearing from others I began to perceive that many of us are in a battle. Your battle may vary from one person to another but it is still a battle. I woke today morning with one resolve that irrespective of the heat of the battles around me I make the choice to believe the Word of God.

The Word of God frames the world(Hebrews 11:3) and I am resolute and will stand firm in my belief that God's promises for me are yea and Amen. I made up my mind that no matter what the enemy tries I won't back away from holding onto the Word of God. Peter asked Jesus to speak a word that he may walk on water an action that he did once Jesus had spoken the word. Peter though began to focus on the storm and the waves that were blowing that his focus moved from Jesus to the storm, which resulted in him sinking and calling for help.

The secret to walking through the battle is to remain focused on the God of the Word and the Word of God for they are inseparable. Face every situation you are facing with faith in the Word and allow the One who is the Living Word to reign in that matter. Remember that your path will only become brighter and brighter as you hold onto the Master Proverbs 4:18. Keep the fight for your faith alive and see God manifest great things on your behalf as nothing is too hard for Him Genesis 18:14.

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 ...

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...

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...
