Something Light


Light in this context describes the weight of something compared to other things that can be involved in a situation. "Something light" is a term that can be used to illustrate anything small in quantity or by people's acceptable standards of measure.

It might be insignificant to you and the people around you are not helping matters. But the good news is that those trivial things are big enough for God to open up a great channel that other people can be blessed from. Remember the widow that Elisha ministered to (2 Kings 4:1-7)? She had a pot of oil, but her family was saved from slavery by it. Nothing or void is enough space for God to work and fill if you'll let Him.

Sometimes, people won't see problems and solutions the way you do because they are looking at it from the top and high places, and right from where you are (sometimes beneath the pyramid or a chain of command), you can spot the crack. Never underestimate or despise the power and grace you have because people tell you it's "light" or "small". You never know how great you can become with it.

The expert and professionals are dissecting a problem the usual and normal way with less creativity, previous strategies, and more sophisticated equipments. But all that could be needed could just be a stone and sling in the hand of a teenage boy and BOOM! — God's people have freedom and access to cover more grounds (1Samuel 17).

Sometimes, it could be the usual stuff of just doing the things you know how to do best and you are not the only one who can, but because the Lord is in and with you, excellence becomes your signature. Do you remember Daniel and the three Hebrew boys in Babylon (Daniel 1:7&18-20)? 

They studied like everyone else. But when they were presented to the King, they have more wisdom and insight into situations not just from study (anybody can), but the breath of the Almighty makes the difference—soft.

This is the way God works, and most powerfully as it turns out. It's written,  
I'll turn conventional wisdom on its head, I'll expose so-called experts as crackpots. So where can you find some­one truly wise, truly ed­ucated, truly intelligent in this day and age? Hasn't God exposed it all as pre­tentious nonsense? Since the world in all its fancy wisdom nev­er had a clue when it came to knowing God, God in his wisdom took de­light in us­ing what the world consid­ered dumb­—preach­ing, of all things!—to bring those who trust him into the way of salvation (1 Corinthians 1: 19-21; MSG).

The point here is to expose and encourage us to the truth that, one with God is a majority and the thing we consider little or small are the very things God can use to liberate you and the world around you. 

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...
