Mighty

Thoughts have a huge role to play in one's destiny. As a result I have been vigorously watching how I think. The realisation that my thoughts affect my tomorrow made me realise that I have the responsibility to think right and not just right but to think the God-kind of thoughts. 

While meditating I began to go through characters in the bible who had to undergo mindset changes to see the miraculous take place. I across Gideon in the bible who came from being the lowest to be a leader Judges 6. He came from behind to the front and all it took was acceptance of God's thoughts towards him. As soon as Gideon had adjusted his perceptions from the negative place of failure and bondage to seeing himself as God saw him he began to take the right steps forward in life.

God's messenger greeted Gideon with an adjective "Mighty". Gideon didn't see himself as mighty but once he began to see himself as mighty he began to do the extraordinary. As soon as you begin to see yourself as God sees you the road ahead is supernaturally filled with wonders of God's goodness. Life may have pushed you to a cave to do what you are not meant to do; life may have placed  you in bondage but I have good news for you. God calls you "Mighty". God's word assures us that His thoughts are higher than our thoughts and consequently HIs ways are higher than ours Isaiah 55:10-11. I guarantee you that to see the divine in our everyday lives then you and I must think divine-God-thoughts.

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 ...

Lessons From A Parable

Day 259 Reading: Luke 14:1 - Luke 16:31 The thoughts that God has for you are too many to be counted. Jesus while speaking asked the disciples if they knew the number of hairs that fall off their head? Jesus told them that God is so interested in the minute details about us that He knows when one hair falls down. God is so detailed about our lives because He is good. When you embrace the goodness of God by understanding that God's love towards us is immeasurable. Whilst reading today's passages my heart was refreshed as I read a very famous parable featuring the prodigal son.   Jesus tells us of two sons and a father. The younger son asked for his inheritance and left home leaving the elder son and his father.  The younger went to a faraway land and wasted his life. He soon was dead broke, deserted by his new found friends and looking for a job. He soon was working for a farmer feeding his pigs. His job must have been so mundane with low pay as he ate the food the...

Berachah

Day 126 Reading: 2 Chronicles 20:1 - 2 Chronicles 22:12 While meditating on the above portion of scriptures hope was rising within as I realised that God is indeed more than able to fight for me. I don't know what is ailing you or contending with your well being. What I know is that God is able to resolve the crisis for good. King Jehoshaphat was advised that a great army was coming to fight him. Fear gripped him and he ran to God. He summoned the entire nation to seek the face of God. While he made prayer for salvation from the enemy the entire nation including children were together fasting in prayer. He understood that in trouble one should run to God. The king didn't run to other nations to fight for him. Nope, He ran to God. Run to God always. In the midst of an entire nation seeking God, a prophet arose who declared the counsel of God. The battle belongs to God. Always remind yourself that in every battle God is with you. The prophet even instructed where...
