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 ...

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...
