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.

A better tomorrow

Everyone is hopeful for a better tomorrow. That's why we say "Good morning" at the start of the day. It's an indicator of the hope within that welcomes the dawning of a new day to bring better fortunes our way. God's mercies are new every morning and His compassion does not fail. When faced with adversity it becomes harder to see a better tomorrow, but resilient people are focused on the fact that trouble is only a comma in the sentence of life. At a time where fear has gripped many hearts because of various reasons, it is difficult to remain hopeful. Without hope, you cannot have the faith necessary to live. Faith is the substance of what is hoped for. Faith gives hope tangibility. To be without hope is to open the door of low living. Hopelessness is the start of damnation in life. You and I were born for a reason. We are not just statistics, making up numbers in any particular nation. You and I were born to reign in life. That situation that has so far made...

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 ...
