Don't Give Up

As I was making my way home from work in the midst of the rush hour traffic on the underground I began to feel the frustration that was weighing down on the hearts of many. Life is not getting easier and neither is it slowing down. 

With all the news and tough situations many are facing today, many are living frustrated lives. When nothing seems to be happening and the mountain one is facing is slowly getting bigger and bigger life becomes a frustrating chore.

As I reflected on the scenario before me of the frustrations that many are facing God reminded me of the fact that Abraham didn't waver at the promise of God but strengthened himself in faith being fully convinced that what God had promised He was well able to do Romans 4:18-21. Your situation is not unique and should not intimidate you causing you to buckle under but you should feed your faith and look up to God who in control. 

Don't look at the waves of the sea bellowing all around you but look at the One who created you as He has great plans for you and those plans are for good. Whatever situation you may be facing in life, it's not a permanent situation. Only God is constant, whatever challenges we face in life they are temporary. Adopt the attitude and mindset of David who declared that even though he walked through the valley of the shadow of death he would fear no evil as he was walking through it and would not be consumed by it Psalms 23:4. Understand that you are walking through this situation.Remind yourself that you are walking through the challenge and will emerge victorious.

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 ...

Work & Prayer; Prayer & Work.

Day 135 Reading: Nehemiah 1:1 - Nehemiah 4:23 One of the things I am learning is that God is not interested in my being so heavenly minded that I am not of any use here on earth. God placed man in the Garden of Eden here on earth, not heaven. We are created to be creators here on earth. God made us for work. If God made the earth how much more should we also work if we are His children? We have a responsibility to work and at the same time be vessels that bring honour to God's Kingdom. Today we begin the book of Nehemiah. This gentleman was not a king but the cupbearer for the King and he did mighty things for God.  Nehemiah was burdened with the state of Jerusalem. We are told of how he enquired to know the state of the returnees from exile and was perplexed at the sad state they found Jerusalem. He was saddened to hear that the Jerusalem, the focal point of the children of Israel, was desolate. He took it to prayer that God would restore Jerusalem. We meet Nehemiah p...

The Priestly Blessing

Day 40 Reading: Num. 5:1- Num. 6:27 Do whatever God instructs. That is obedience. Remove whatever is displeasing to God from your life. Whatever or whoever is causing discharge from your life that contaminates your faith should be far from you and I. I do realise that in today's dispensation some will say that they have nothing to do to walk with God, however, God won't come and move your feet away from a place sin. You go runnings and that is an instruction from your brain to your feet in obedience to the Word of God to walk in purity. I found it interesting that after Moses tells the children of Isreal to remove every leper from the camp God then speaks on restitution. The law was not just about worshipping God but also about relating right. God desires that we not only are in right standing with Him but also with others. I realised that first God began by clearing whoever may bring defilement to the camp before not dealing with relationships. Restitution is a fo...
