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

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...

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 ...

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...
