Day 243 Reading: Zechariah 11:1 - Zechariah 14:21 Do you wonder what the timeline is in God's eyes? The headlines, the happenings, all the crime, corruption, poor economic news, the debt levels, everything seems to be heading in one direction: bad news. In the midst of the doom and gloom that we seem to live in, there is a story that the world is not paying attention to. Zechariah calls the children of God to attention. Zechariah issues a clarion call that God is coming into the scene and this will have a dramatic effect. My dear reader a day is coming when we shall see God. A day is coming where we shall see Him in all of His glory. It shall be a day of great awe as humanity meets its Maker. This will be a moment where the created meets the Creator. The day of the Lord will be a day where the enemy will be devastated as he will know that his life is over. All those who refused to worship God will worship Him. It will be a day where those who have survived the onslaugh...

Day 242 Reading: Zechariah 7:1 - Zechariah 10:12 I don't know whether you have been a place where it was so dry that you cried for rain. I remember once we had a drought which led to a famine. No rain led to no food for an entire region of the world. It got so bad that the whole world turned to see how to aid the people who lived in that region. The world came together and raised loads of money to feed the hungry. Just recently we had one of the driest summers ever in the West. I don't take for granted that I have been privileged to visit and live in different continents of the world. However, I have come to realise that a drought is no respecter of geography. When a drought hits there is only one thing to cry for. It is Rain. If ever there was a time to cry for the Lord's rain on the earth it is now. The day and age we are living in is one where hearts are battling issues that a mind-boggling. Goal posts are being moved today. We have believers who believe onl...

Day 241 Reading: Zechariah 1:1 - Zechariah 6:15 God's word is powerful. It is backed by Heaven. God backs His Word. Angels perform God's word Psalms 103:20 . God created the world by His Word Genesis 1:3. We live in a day and age where many don't believe in God. The world is in need of men and women who will believe God at His word to see its power released here on earth. A recent survey by the BBC in the UK revealed that 3 in 5 people believe in miracles. People are hungry for miracles.  The Bible gives us clues to seeing miracles in our lives. Zechariah was raised to encourage the people during a time where they were struggling to rebuild the Temple. Zechariah was addressing the children of God who had returned from captivity under the direction of Darius to return home and rebuild their land. God's word will overtake you. If I use the narrative of a car on a highway, the promise may be behind you or far from the view of your mirrors. However, understand ...

Day 127 Reading: 2 Chronicles 22:1 - 2 Chronicles 24:28 Warning this will not be an easy read. Too many times we don't realise that we need to address some tough topics. Many times we only want to hear what makes us smile. However, I pray that this will make you reflect on your walk with God and see where you are with Him. Today I want to only rededicate myself to God alone because I know I am wanting in some places which were what provoked my blog after reading the above passages of scripture.  King Joash became King through unusual circumstances. His mother on hearing that his father had died staged a coup and killed all his brothers. His sister took and hid him from the mother and gave him to the high priest to rear him. He was brought up in the temple of God. Jehoiada the priest became like a father to him. At an early age, Jehoiada restored the kingdom back to the lineage of David and placed Joash as King. Joash listened to Jehoiada and loved God as long as he...
