...Things to come

   Things that happened in the past are filled with good and bad experiences. When the Lord wants to take you to the next level, he will always encourage you to put behind everything that has happened.
   The encouragement makes you see what you've labored and achieved as a little thing compared to what the Lord is bringing your way. How long will you strive to get to another level, when the Lord is ready to take you there? He only needs your FAITH.
   When you are ungrateful, the Lord calls to your remembrance all the things He's done for you. When you see everything bad about your life and situations, you can't point a finger at what the Lord is doing and it's like He's left you to suffer, you won't be able to get the best for yourself.
   When you spend more time in prayer to tell God what u don't want, why can't you decide to change your situation by telling what you desire? He can hear you and He knows all, you only need to ask and it shall be given unto you.
   The coming of a new thing requires that you don't pay your attention on all that has ever happened to you (Isaiah 43:18-19), but while waiting for the promise, always give thanks for the past and be in expectant of what is to come (Isaiah 46:9). Thank God for things that had happened and focus on things to come. May God's grace and peace abound in Jesus name. Amen.

Wrap Ups

Endings are better than beginnings. Sticking to it is better than standing out ( Ecclesiastes 7:8; MSG). The end justifies the means and starting could be great, but there is nothing as fulfilling and satisfying as the wrapping up of a thing with strength and grace. It is better not to start anything at all than to give up halfway. If we must start a thing, then we must follow through to the end. It builds discipline, consistency, and focus. When a person sets out for a journey, the thing expected on the way can only be assumed but not accurate. Which makes the destination and finishing well a necessity for greatness and forging further. This year has been amazing and some many things were unexpected, but regardless of the emotions experienced, God is good! When we thought it was over and there was no way we will make it, He showed and made a way. The most important thing when we are wrapping up anything is Thanksgiving. It could have only been God. If only we c...

Beyond the natural laws

    Laws are laid down principles to help people to walk in certain directions. It is structured, firm, and sometimes rigid. Laws are expected to always follow the same pattern and anyone found doing differently will be accused and penalized. The scribes and Pharisees were always angry at the ways and teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ because he wasn't doing the same as them yet have mind-blowing impacts better than theirs. He taught, people listened and yielded, but they force people to do it their own way (Mark 6:1-3).    They are ignorant that even though we have one big God, He is diverse in his ways and acts. No wonder people find it difficult to believe in the ways and characters of a child of God. It is a life led by the wind of God's Spirit because it's beyond the normal laws they believe in. Natural laws are principles generally accepted by people and passed down from one generation to another. We are Christians. We operate in the supernatural ...

Fear in the Process

There is an African proverb that says, "the demon you've known for a while is better than the angel you just met". As weird as this sounds, many people consciously or unconsciously act it out. This shows the hardness of people's hearts towards change. Change is constant, but it can be a very weird process and experience. The Israelites desired to go back to Egypt and continue the life of slavery and pain that they were used to than to be in the wilderness and uncertain of what the promised land looked like. Yours might not be as dramatic as the Exodus. It could be the Lord telling to you take steps about your finances by saving and sowing. Or leaving the life that is not accurate with the word and plan of God for your life. It could be for you to stop saying to yourself and others, "That's who I am and I can't change." Our change experiences are different. You know what the Lord is addressing in your life. And it may have raised questions of doubt li...
