The year of Thus says the Lord

Happy New Year ...!

Every new year, there is always a fresh canvas of good energy and expectations and it's no lie its going to be a good year .

2•0•1•6 Add up all the numbers and it totals up to 9• 

What really stands out about this year is that: it's the year of the Lord. This is the year where we lay out all that we have and all that we are in surrender to His Plans and pursuits .
It's either the Lord directs the script or you're  out .

Personally ,its a bit strange how this year I hardly had resolutions of to chase after or  or indulge in as was my norm in previous years. This year I felt "Let the Lord be the shepherd & you shall not want." psalms 23

The expectations of the just shall not be cut off ... There are words that I am running with and taking to the bank . God is on my side , Yes he Loves me ! .


Looking forward to divine relationships that will be glued by the fellowship of the holy spirit. I have learnt that God will separate ,not because there is something wrong but because there is a destination that separates us . The fact that Apple and Samsung are phone dealers doesn't mean they will manufacture in the same space "in the name of We are phone dealers ". They have a different call and participation.

God by his divine nature separated Oprah and Ruth...both were in the same predicament ..Widows and helpless but One had a destiny and she was with the right person and by faith she followed.


There will be more ----------> over there relationships for the season.

Another thing is ;Words will matter . Words that create..words that will change the world . Words that will act as a currency to the spirit . speaking the right things at the right time . Isaac blessed Esau and Jacob while he was aging at his bed . Blessings and not curses . In church , our pastor challenged us to Speak life. To speak positivity and uplift others .

Let our talk be seasoned with salt and grace.  Isaiah 14 ( Isaiah paints a picture that he felt impure because of his tongue . The book of James warns us about the tongue . Let's Speak life ..." Things don't change because you curse them , they change coz you bless "PST George Mathu .

Lastly ...You cannot sell your birth rite for a bowl of ''Soup" . We have to be discerning , people will come with great ideas or money simply because you sound the part but you cannot give out your God given responsibility or position for a desperate call . Its more like :we cannot compromise , or conform to the standards of the world simply because there is an urgency to settle a need . 


Again , Let the Lord lead . Lay out yourself as he has good plans to prosper you and not to harm you .


Shalom.

Why the Devil wants You for Dessert ! - On the Menu

Let’s agree to disagree, this year has a point to prove, it’s in a rush. It’s on the run to somewhere; it has to be there by December.     I am not sure whether I am the one experiencing this, but Sunday is such a throw stone away from Monday nowadays. It feels like yesterday I was huffing and puffing trying to get my resolutions together, it’s now July . Anyway I am buckling up and keeping up with the speed levels of 2018.   2018, if you can hear me, I am breaking sweat as well, we shall revisit and settle in December. .................... I love Nigerians, it’s not their Jollof rice or their incredible sense of art, and it’s their oomph! ,   I have a thing for their vigour. I find them so boisterous in their confession especially. You can tell when Jesus said, the kingdom suffers violence and the violent shall take it by force, that was for them.   I have limited knowledge about them but I have managed to gather a few traits here and...

Consider an Oak Tree

 I like to think of myself as a patient yet inpatient person, ( a paradox right?). I am patient towards others yet treat myself with some level of impatience. Self imposed timelines for myself are what  I would consider the yeast to my rising dough.  Something I am unlearning as I grow older. But what stretched this for me is that the older we grow, the more we are inclined to look, feel and be seen to be productive, proactive, securing whatever the bag is. That is why even on social media, it is those that have “results of the day” or what corporate lingo may call “KPI’s” that seem to ammerse a following.  Let’s consider this verse.  Isaiah 61:3  They will be called oaks of righteousness,      a planting of the  Lord      for the display of his splendor. Now let’s consider an  Oak -  “ Oak trees generally take  several decades  to reach maturity, with most species taking around 30-40 yea...

Loving Right and Staying Tight

It’s February, Finally!!   Yeey! And after the intense Part A and B of January we could use some LOVE.     I wrote this post like 5 days ago but I wasn’t particularly sure this was what I want to write on. Anyways, as I was delaying on this matter we had a small ladies random discussion and fellowship with my girls about single-hood, engagements and marriages. That served as   my confirmation that surely the Lord had placed this in my heart for a reason.    Let’s admit, your timeline is full of everyone getting engaged, and it looks like they met yesterday and you have no choice but to like and type (Aaaaw   # goals # Godspeed ), Yes ? . Don’t get me wrong, we are happy for them and wish them all the best, but like everyone else we too, long for our turn when the piece of Pie gets over to us.  Can we have a heart to heart? P.s the post is longer than usual ...Mapenzi Overdrive :)
