Going Forward

Dear Friend,

Hope and pray that you are well and more importantly living life on purpose. I know I haven't blogged for a while, actually since late 2012. I took a break as certain changes in my life were being made. I haven't made all the changes yet, however I have been encouraged to get back to blogging for one major reason: fulfilling purpose. 

A clarion call is being made in the heavens and in the earth. That call is to go forward! Don't allow the vicissitudes of life to hinder your progress. Life may offer different permutations or variations. However, you must go forward irrespective of the flips life has thrown at you. Don't wait for everything to be perfect. Abraham and Sarah were passed humanely perfect conditions for having children, but God came through for them. When Lazarus was called from the grave he came out bound from the top of his head to the feet with grave-clothes. Unbelievably, he moved forward from the place of captivity, death, extinction, obscurity, elimination, to the place of it's over John 11:43-44. 

I want to encourage you to move forward. You may still have habits or situations that have bound you from the top to the bottom of life, like grave- clothes in certain cultures, however, go forward. It may be your past or a stinking situation in life, don't allow it to deter your progress forward. Life is to be filled and fuelled with progress not regression. 

There is a call going forth right now to come out of every tomb life has somehow confined you to. God reminded me that if He made dry bones to come together like He showed Ezekiel then what impossibility can hold anyone back. I have made a choice to answer His call to come out of every man made grave and go forward. 

Moses and the children of Israel had the Red Sea in front and the enemies at the back. However, taking a step forward in obedience to God resulted in a mighty miracle Exodus 14:15. My prayer is that as you go forward may every Red sea scenario in life be parted on your behalf. God has you in mind and desires you go forward to the land of milk and honey that He prepared for you!

Blessings,

CK

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...

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...
