God My Escape

When I say God is my escape, I'm not trying to say He is my getaway by flight or running from situations and circumstances. He is my peaceful way out of a storm, not running from the storm, but confronting and passing through it with the consciousness that He's my escape.

It's probably not the first time you'll hear this and it won't be your last, but I want to join the number of witnesses that is saying and will say that Nothing is hard enough for the Lord. No matter how hard life is, know that God is your only escape.

Even if your life is in a deliberate mess. You deliberately put yourself in that mess and now you are drowning in in it and it's about to choke you out. Know and understand that God is your only escape.

The funny thing is that you are where God can express himself to you more. If you were doing everything right, you might come to a point where you think you can do all things by yourself. When you find yourself in error and the guilt is engulfing you to the point of death. Know that God is your escape.

Have you ever imagined what the Father's love is like? If I tell you, trust me, human words are too belittling to describe and quantify His kind of Love for you. 

I'll say it this way, the Love He has for you is the totality of Himself - God. All of God is His Love for you. He chases you to deepest part sins and brings you up to the topmost part and call you guiltless and Holy if you'll let Him. What better escape do you have or want?

The kind that makes you stand fortified and bold in the camp of the enemy but broken in His presence. The Love that took all the ordinances and legal right of your enemy, nailed it to the cross, and advocate that you are GUILTLESS! And no accuser can debate the verdict. The defense that can't be broken. Will, you chose this Father as your escape?

The kind of Love that makes you feel unworthy every time. When you look over your shoulder and see where He brought you from, where you are and where He promised to take you. You can only offer up Thanksgiving, rejoicing in tears of joy and declaring the life you have enjoyed in Him.

The life that holiest of the Prophets looked forward to. People like Moses and Abraham long to live this reality. But we have that on a platter of gold in Christ Jesus - the Father's expression of Love. The only WAY out of the life we were trapped in or the storm we are passing through. The TRUTH that remains valid till eternity. And the LIFE we live through His LIGHT. I choose this escape.

Do you? Drop a comment in the box below if you will choose this escape over and over again.

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...
