Change Inducers

Last week I shared of a cry within my heart for change. I will reiterate that I am truly fed up with life as it has been and have made up my mind that a new chapter in my life is beginning. I am determined that I will make an impact not only to this generation but to others that follow. To see the changes I desire to see I fully understand that there is a process and it requires my active participation for manifestation to be glorious.

As I thought about the change I desired, it has become clear to me the important role studying has in bringing about change. Change is not brought by mere chance. Thomas Edison tried and tried many times until he created the light bulb that worked. Each time he failed he said he learnt something. Studying allows one to acquire knowledge which when applied correctly gives one wisdom to succeed in life. I have over the last few days been drawing up a reading plan to cover between September and December this year that will place me at the right place to succeed in life going forward.

Another inducer of change other than studying is discipline. Great leaders are disciplined people. I have over the last few days being looking at what areas of my life I need an overhaul. Honesty is the first discipline needed to do this well. Having watched some of the events during the Olympics one thing that was constantly mentioned by the winners of gold medals and their coaches was the discipline needed to achieve success. 

I want to encourage you to study well. Paul told Timothy that approval in life came from studying diligently 2 Tim 2:15. Be focused in your pursuit for change in all circumstances. Discipline yourself in all areas of life and get ready to be a beacon of light. It's time to shine and it is now not later!!!

Everyday I seek to share something that I have learnt through the daily reading. I make a choice to discipline myself not to write too much as we inundated with a lot of reading material. Feel free to add comments because that way we share and thus encourage one another to grow into the fullness of Christ. Today I am amazed at the fact that God will always remember His covenant and fulfill the promise. I want to list five words in the order they appear in one scripture that showed God is at work in our lives. Remembered : My God will never forget me. To be delayed is not to be denied as God will surely remember. God spoke and said to Sarah that He would return at the appointed time; at the right season!!! I do believe that we are in a season where we will see God begin to act on the promises that seem forgotten. Or better put in another way there is a resurrection of seemingly forgotten prophecies that is about to take place. Dry bones are beginning to take shape. Listened : No longer ...

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 ...
