Now: All we Have

The past is far behind, the future is not within reach, but what you have is this moment in time. We are always in the middle of something, we sometimes don't know the past accurately and the future is uncertain. All we know is what we have to do now and see how that help or contribute to the well-being of the future.

But some of us concentrate on the past and lose focus on now, while some look into the future and their present is full anxiety of the uncertain things that are to come. The successes or failures of the past, mean nothing to your future if the present is fully maximized. Now is all you have, don't take it for granted.

Forget about what has happened; don't keep go­ing over old history. Be alert, be present. I'm about to do something brand-new(Isaiah 43:18-19 MSG).

When God does the new thing, will you be present to witness it? Or will you be locked in your past or future? God is working in your now and only Him can promise your next. Will you let Him?

Will you let Him set you free from the errors of your past or the successes you have camped around and let Him bring you into a higher and restful place in Him? Will you allow anxiety pressure you into not sowing or doing the work of now to attain the glory ahead?

Be at rest, God will give the strength and increase of now. The subsequent step and definite end is also God's to give. Will you trust Him to handle it? Now is a gift and that's all we have. Maximize it because it determines NEXT.


SHALOM!!!

You Are Mary

The first Mary was not the only lady named MARY which was recorded in the Bible is found in the new testament. She was "a virgin", which means she wasn't the only one who was a virgin in her time, but she found favor with God and was chosen to bear the Holy seed of God. Mary, the highly favored, blessed among women and the Lord was with her. That was how she was seen by the Lord. Her assignment was to carry the seed of God, deliver a son, and He shall save His people, rule them and His kingdom is forever. Her question wasn't what's in it for me? It was HOW? What's the plan? The answer was the Holy Spirit will come upon you, the power of the Highest hover over you. Therefore, the child you bring to birth will be called Holy, Son of God. It's all planned by God, yours is to align. You are Mary, but whose seed are you carrying? Definitely not Christ Jesus. But what result will the seed you are carrying bring? Are you aligned to be chosen? Are you recept...

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...

God's or Abraham's?

   The moment the word "children" appears, what comes to mind most the time is the result or outcome of a process. Especially when the psalmist was describing children in Psalms 127:3-5. My eyes were open to seeing results as children. Definitely, children have fathers. Let not go into defining children ( you can always read my post on CHILDREN), But my concern is that sometimes we (Christians) are referred to as Abraham's offspring and at the same time, we are called the children of God. How are we children of God and also Abraham's? It is possible that we are the offspring of both God and Abraham (His friend). We are considered as Abraham's offspring when we believe (Galatians 3:6-8), because the first to exercise Faith in God was Abraham and we are called his children because we are doing exactly what he did which was counted to him as righteousness(John 8:39) - FAITH . So we (believers) are the re-produced version(children) of the Father of Faith - Abraham...
