Clear Sky

As autumn is settling in, the nights getting colder, the days filled with rain and slight wind we all know that we are getting ready for winter. As it gets colder we cover up more as we fight the cold draughts that can easily cause sickness. Whilst walking home two days ago the sky was clear which was rather unusual considering the awful weather we were experiencing; the full moon was a beauty to behold and the countless stars shined brightly. Looking into the clear sky I forgot about every situation niggling on my mind and as I stood I was in awe of the beauty and majesty of the brilliance of the clear sky above me.

Too many times in life we allow what is around us to cloud our vision. One thing I learnt that night was that nothing should becloud my vision. I can only go up in life when my vision is clear, however as long as we allow our vision to beclouded by the challenges of life we encounter stagnation and regression. Abraham wanted a son, God had promised him one, yet until he possessed a clear vision he could not go forward. Until you see clearly, you cannot go forward!! 

Windscreens have wipers because the driver cannot go anywhere without clear vision. When God took Abraham outside and told him to view the clear sky and count the stars he could see, God was in the process wiping away every cobweb of stagnation and doubt Gen 15:5. To go forward in life one must possess a clear vision. Take stock of where you are going and the journey will become clearer. Don't allow the whispers of failure or distractions from comfortability to scupper your purpose in life. Refuse to allow your present circumstances to hinder your looking up in life. Look up, focus on the vision towards fulfilling your God given purpose and run towards making it happen jumping over every barrier that life throws at you.

Now is....

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 ...
