Caught In The Middle

Everybody that has ever done something impactful has been caught in the middle of something. There is always a history, story, or tradition that they believe and was convinced that it's not meant to be this way and they desire to cause a change in history.

For the sake of the future, they did what they had to do in their time - while they are still alive and able. They were hated for it. They suffered for it, but in the end, they became legacies.

For instance, for faith to become a legacy, Abraham caused the change. He was in the middle of traditionalists (idol worshippers) but had to come to become a standard of Faith. What will you be a standard of? What "middle" are you caught in?

Man will always evolve. The reason why anything changes is because someone took upon him/herself to effect the alteration. Change is constant because man is involved. Due to the uncertainty and diversity found among men, anything can change at any time.

You are not where you are by mistake. God brought you there. If it was important He wouldn't have taken you there. Although, there is a tradition that has been in existence before you came on board. But, now that you are there, how will you cause a difference?

Are you scared to step on toes?  God took you there, ask Him for wisdom to fulfill your purpose in that area. You won't be loved by everybody,  the great people before you were not always loved until people saw the change they implemented.

We all are always caught in the middle of something. It could at your place of work, family, state, or country. When you get caught in the middle of something and you desire that there must be a change, it is your responsibility to impact that space and be the change.

Shalom!!!

Lesson In All Things

Learning isn't limited to a gathering of people with a tutor, but an experience that leaves a mark of influence. To learn means to gain knowledge or skill by studying, practicing, being taught or experiencing something. A lesson is a section where something is being taught and learned. It, therefore, means that there must be a teacher and a student. Life is a teacher. It teaches anyone who cares to listen and have wisdom. We are in the habit of running each day the same way and the days turn to weeks, weeks to months and later to years. We forget to pause, pay attention to life and absorb wisdom to live. Some of us have experienced but haven't gotten the lessons out of some. Wisdom is not measured by age or level of exposure or experience, but lessons got from our encounter with life. What did you learn as a child, teenager, adult, parent, businessperson, lawyer, pastor, teacher, etc? Whatever you do isn't as important as what are you learning? What will you pa...

The King Comes

Who is coming? Why is He coming? What is He coming to do? The major reason anyone would stand for anything is because they don't just know, but understand the purpose and mission of that thing.  Sometimes, I find out that I am carried away by activities that don't really matter to the reason why I joined a group or something in the first place. So, what I do to get myself back on track is that: I slow down and ask myself how I got where I am and why I started or made the decision in the first place. And by the grace of God through the help of the Holy Spirit, It works - I find my way back. As Christians, we have been taught so many things and have been involved in so many things(which are very good) that we sometimes lose track of why we are believers in the first place. It is good to serve God and to love others as ourselves, but we must also remember to go back to the cross. Not just to receive grace and strength to do His work, but to also serve as a reminder of t...

SAME GOD

   A song in Yoruba (Nigeria) says " the Lord is, as the time of old, but we don't worship God like old times " . This is very true. I always wonder why there was power in the early churches, but now, we hardly see the manifestations like the ones we read about the book of Acts of the Apostles?!    Some times ago I thought that Christianity was a joke passed down to generations. We have little people in the church performing miracles, what are the other members of the church doing? Are we just smiling at situations and circumstances and say God is in control when God has bestowed power to do on us and has made us gods (psalms 82)?    We are supposed to be armies pulling down strongholds (2 Corinthians 10:4) of the devil instead the church is held in captivity of the strong. The Great and Mighty God is always present but we don't seek Him for help. Where is the power of the church?! Haven't we lost it?    The fathers of old, the prophets, and t...
