Open Letter

Dear Friend,

As I sat down and pondered on my day you came to mind. I cannot but marvel at how in the midst of the storm your life is in right now, you have remained steady. Looking at how a hurricane sweeps through a place you see trees being uprooted and others swaying but they remain planted. You have remained planted through the storm and that for me has been very encouraging.

While reflecting on this I decided to write this open letter to say thank you to all who inspire others to keep walking in the face of adversity. Why thank you? Your faithfulness is a lesson to us all. The characteristic of persistence that you display is a beacon of light in the midst of many who are giving up on pursuing their dreams.

While thinking about the goodness of God that allows one to keep walking on even when it does not make sense, I was reminded of Sarah who waited for 25 years before a promise became reality. I thought about Ruth who had high hopes when she married her first husband, then he died before she moved to a new country and things changed. She went from a nobody to somebody. Everyone who has waited for the promise to become a reality has had to move from one place to another. Move from the place of unbelief to faith; from barrenness to fruitfulness; from where life has located you to where divinity is locating you!!! Keep walking towards the promise.

I want to encourage you to continue using your imagination to keep alive the promise of God's goodness in your life. Flood your mind with the promise and I am sure we will all be at the winning line to applaud you as a winner. 

Every blessings,

Me

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...
