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!!!

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...
