Seek God

We all agree that the world we live in today is in the middle of some very tough times. Nothing seems to makes sense especially when I listen to some of the news. Over the last few days God has reminded me that we are living in perilous times and only His prescription is available for this season. Making more money is not the answer neither is giving up.

The best prescription to anyone for the times we are living in is to draw close to God James 4:8. By drawing closer to God, you will be shielding your faith; you will be connecting yourself with the one who is the Source of all life. By drawing closer to God you will be choosing to drink of the Fountain of life Psalms 36:9, where you will discover that God's grace to live sets you up for higher living than you may perceive if you are faithless towards God.

Why must I draw closer to God to make it in this turbulent times? Firstly, because He is the Author and Finisher of our faith. Secondly, because failure to draw closer to God will guarantee failure which is not our story. Thirdly, He has promised that those who seek Him will live Amos 5:6. Fourthly, drawing closer to God requires whole hearted attention and results in divine attention Jeremiah 29:13.

Let me encourage you to search for God with all of your being no matter your current circumstances. God is eternal whilst your current situation is temporary; seek Him who is permanent and stop chasing the fickle vanities of life.

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...
