THE WAIT!

We believe that when we accept Jesus Christ into our lives then all our troubles will go away,no pain, no sorrow,no bad days, it’s gonna be a smooth ride all through right?😊 yeah I really wished so at some point, but NO, that’s not going to happen ,Jesus promises that his peace and strength will be with us all the way,he promises never to leave us alone through the journey of life and you know what I strongly believe that he won’t , he wants us to wait on his timing.

 THE WAIT isn’t about sitting at the corner of your house and saying “God when are you going to respond”? ,I believe if you always focus on the problem while you have taken it to God, the enemy will capitalize on it and bring all manner of thoughts ,distractions, feelings of hopelessness, depression ,and he will want to make it seem like you’re making a huge mistake by trusting God to take care of your problems, I sincerely believe that THE  WAIT is developing yourself, being you, positioning yourself in the right place at the right time,by helping those in need, reaching out to them in the little way you can, not trying to imitate another person, above all being grateful for how far he has brought you,trusting God enough to say that, if this doesn’t work out,I know you’ve got greater plans for my life,the wait is never in vain,by the time you come out of it,you’ll be refined.

There are many things I have been trusting God for in my life,some came almost immediately,some are taking like forever,I must be honest here ,sometimes the enemy tries to whisper some doubtful things in my head, some days I feel like giving up and doing it my way,I’ll be like ‘who cares, if God loves me like he says why hasn’t he given me what I wanted’. But if I look back I’m forever grateful he never gave me those things I thought I wanted as at then. Let’s take a good look at this scripture..

Psalms 27:14.. Wait for the Lord, be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord

Psalms 37:34 .. Wait for the Lord and keep his way. He will exalt you to inherit the land;when the wicked are cut off you will see it.

You see! His words says it all,the devil will fight you with all that he has,I assure you he will , but we have an anchor that can never fail us ,that’s Jesus Christ and his word, let us never give up in the place of prayer. He loves us all and his grace will keep us till the end of our journey ,we won’t give up, our wait shall be a testimony,speak positivity into your life. I love him dearly to live life on my own because I’m going to crash if I do that,let’s cultivate ourselves daily to fix our eyes on him as we wait. 

Trust & Obey.!😊

Jesus Cares.

ARMOR OF THE SPIRIT!

I have realized that everyday is a continuous learning process in the kingdom of God, as long as we are availing ourselves to God,the enemy will always want to fight his way through, but are we going to allow him win?    We can’t because we have Zoe living in us, we must know our authority in Christ Jesus. This is why we must watch and pray. I also discovered that if you try fighting the devil by your own strength, you will loose in this life,the word of God must be our standard,it’s by grace we have been saved and it is by the word of God we will overcome, the bible makes it clear to us here..

2nd Corinthians 10:4-5, for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds,casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God,bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ.

The above scripture makes it clear that life’s battle isn’t a physical thing, life’s battle isn’t going to get easier but as long as we submit ourselves to Christ there will always be a way of escape. He can never allow the enemy succeed.

Let me share an experience that occurred lately, last week Saturday as I was praying I heard God tell me to take up a fast starting from Monday but I wanted a reason why I should fast, he didn’t give me a reason, he simply said ” fast and I’ll lead you” ,instead of me to take up that fast I made excuses, thou deep down in my heart I felt this uneasyness ,I knew I needed to do this but I still didn’t, I was like my walk with God isn’t that bad so ‘nothing spoil biko’ *smiles*, as the week went on I still heard his voice telling me to fast, I kept pushing it as usual *sigh*, then on Thursday when I came back from my CDs I just looked at my right leg near my knee and saw a very big swollen mark on it, it was quite painful and I knew for sure that nothing had hit me, neither did I hit my leg on anything, almost immediately as I was still analyzing the whole thing I felt an overwhelming force of darkness come over me more like an attack,it came strongly like I wasn’t going to make it till the next day,I was now asking God for mercy,it now dawned on me why the holy spirit layed it in my heart to take up the fast. I heard lying spirits whispering all manner of negativity doubt and fear,it was overwhelming me,I took up the bible and started praying, I felt little effect, I told myself I’ll pull through, so I kept studying and praying,in the midst of all I heard his still small voice whisper to me telling me to keep going,that I’ll pull through and I shouldn’t give up,it went on that way into the night ,not knowing God laid it in the heart of my father to intercede for me. When I wokeup this morning ,as we spoke he asked If I was okay and told me how God told him to pray for me,I now narrated everything to him,we prayed together and I thank God for everything, I asked God for mercy, I felt at peace again, his love overwhelmed me and the burden was lifted .

😊

I learnt that whenever God lays something in your heart just do it, God wants obedience and submission, he knows we are not perfect he doesn’t require that from us, he just wants our total surrender and transparency to his will,had I obeyed his word initially the enemy wouldn’t have gained acess, as children of God we should be on guard because the enemy roams about like a lion looking for whom to devour… Finally my loved ones meditate on these words

Ephesians 6:10-13

Finally brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armor of God,that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers,against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all to stand.

One love💖

VOID

VOID

Well you may be wondering, why can’t i feel complete satisfaction in  all that i thought would satisfy me? Yeah at that moment you were so excited! Yes! You got that amazing job, car,spouse,promotion,degree etc… Now don’t get me wrong ,all these are beautiful, and I know our amazing God wants all these gifts for us. You realize that there is something missing,a void that need to be filled, yeah!..

You see I have realized that fulfilling God’s purpose on earth here is what it takes to fill that void we feel.

There is this overwhelming peace that comes with doing his will for our lives, I have found myself in circumstance where I thought I needed this particular thing and yeah if I get it that would be the end of my problems but you see! When I eventually got what I wanted,I was excited!😊God has finally answered my prayers, I thought that was all at that moment you know, but as time went on,it faded in a way, you know God allows this void in our hearts so we can seek him more than anything else, he doesn’t want the great gifts he gives us to become an idol in our lives,he loves us so dearly that he wants even more than the best for us, he wants nothing in this world to take his place,he brings total satisfaction, we all are still a work in progress, but as we make conscious effort with him each day he unveils a lot to us,and most importantly, we should know we have a father who loves us more than anything else in this world.

Never dwell in the worlds’ temporary excitement and miss out on the everlasting joy God has for you! He is more than enough,he always wants us to cast our cares upon him,even when we think we have it all and when it isn’t going as we expected in our lives, he wants all our cares ,that way we will see his glory shine forth gradually and that void will be no more,😊 he is a merciful father
Psalms 55:22 Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall.

GOD LOVES YOU

IN YOU I FIND MY REST! (PeAcE)

I just blogged on “IN CONTROL”

Now God loves it when we practice what we preach, well this doesn’t mean perfection, but it means total obedience and submission to God, I told God this… “As I pour out my heart here to touch each soul that reads this! May it also touch mine as well😊”.
Now I want to share this ,this morning, I wokeup to my dad’s phone call explaining some challenges that came up lately, to be honest almost immediately after that call I felt worried and disturbed,I managed to carry out my daily tasks, after I was done with everything I realized I was still downcasted ,*smiles*…. I knew I needed to speak to the one who would ease this heaviness I felt inside of me ,so I took up my bible and also a book (the believer’s Authority by Kenneth E. Hagin) that I would read afterwards, before I opened my bible I told the holy spirit that I didn’t know how he was going to do this but I trust his word and I know he will fix this up,I said this from my heart….so immediately I opened the bible my eyes fell on the book Daniel…. And this is what I read

Daniel 6:22 my Lord sent his angels and it shut the mouth of the lions.they have not hurt me because I was found innocent in his sight. Nor have I done any wrong before you O king . V23 the king was overjoyed and gave orders to lift Daniel of of the den. And when Daniel was lifted from the den ,no wound was found on him Because he trusted in his GOD

WOW! what an amazing God… You see that?… Daniel was saved because he trusted in his GOD…,that verse struck me…I felt peace and God’s presence was with me,I literally felt it,I realized that the waves and storms will come but it’s in him I find my REST!,I simply told God to take charge of the situation,I read my book a bit and slept off, I slept off and a knock on my door woke me up a few hours later, God used someone to come and speak to me,remember I told no one it was between me and God first,so this visitor asked me to share what I have been reading in the bible,honestly I didn’t want to share the above passage,I reluctantly shared it and God used this person to explain further about having faith in God and trusting him through the challenges, tears flowed down my eyes because I couldn’t comprehend the kind of love Jesus has for me, after we shared the scriptures and all,Viola hahaha.. This burden was lifted.praise Jesus! I felt lighthearted, I literally had zero worries, I felt total peace ,I later spoke to my parents and they assured me that God is in control and that was more than enough. I am learning each day to trust Jesus,in him I find my rest because he is in control😊..

My earnest prayer is that we will all finish strong…let’s seek his strength in every stage of our life.
One love beautiful people😊💖

IN CONTROL💖

1. ​At some point in life we find ourselves being controlled by things,circumstances and perhaps  people,the wind of life has a way of tossing things at us and if we are not careful it takes control of our lives, for a few days now this word has been ringing in my head ‘IN CONTROL’…now the question is this.. Who is in control of our lives and mind?..is it the circumstances of life that could be driving us to act and behave in certain ways?…are we controlled by our fleshy desires…Okay…it’s normal for our flesh to try to dictate for us ,are we to yield to to it or who is in control of our lives? Because as long as we are in this world,there would always be a battle between our flesh and the spirit man, and definitely one must win at the end of the day and of course we cannot let our fleshy desires carry us all the way…let me share a scripture with us…

Romans 8:6 “The mind of sinful man is death, but the mind CONTROLLED by the Spirit is life and peace”

Now the scripture makes it clear to us that we should be controlled by the spirit of God, at some point in life we cannot help ourselves except we invite the holy spirit to help us in our weaknesses.. Yes! He alone can help and  take control of our lives if we let him.
This reminds me of how I’m tempted to run ahead of God in the choices I want to make and at some point the circumstances almost takes control of my life,but in the midst of the overwhelming circumstances I hear his still small voice whispering to me saying “Wait on me I am in control,don’t try to do this on your own. I am with you till the very end ,there is light at the end of the tunnel ,keep pushing ,never give up.”

I literally feel his sweet presence with me and I sense his peace that supersedes all human understanding overwhelming me, that’s more than enough😊. If only we would be sincere ,transparent and obedient with God. He will take control of all that concerns us..

Onelove beautiful people😊💖

WHEN FAILURE COMES KNOCKING!

Faliure!

Failure!

This word seems to scare us all as individuals, but let’s take a good look at it,who doesn’t get scared at some point in life’s journey…*smiles*

Personally I have experienced this Failure…at some point so I can relate to it perfectly…. I’m going to share some of my life’s journey here and my personal experiences and by the grace of God it will touch lives because that’s my aim in life (smiles)

Well back to the topic ,have u come to a point in your life when u believed God heard your prayers and u hoped that all will go perfectly well,then at the end of the day you failed at whatever you embarked on!😊….yeah! I know that feeling..

You almost gave up, thinking that he loves you less or maybe ,just maybe he has forgotten about you or prolly he’s deaf….or WAIT! MAYBE he doesn’t exist…..

Lol… Its okay to feel down sometimes but never stay there let’s look at life from a different perspective,what if this ‘thing’ we failed at was all God wanted to use to make us who we are today? Great men and women,because he’s promised us in his word that he will never leave nor forsake us all….though we go through the darkest phase of life,thou we fail a million times ,he is forever going to be our guide…he will lead us if only we open our hearts totally to his unfailing word….

Personally ….it was difficult at some point to trust God when I failed over and over over things I thought I would scale through, did that make me a failure?NOWAY!.I got up through God’s strength and moved ,kept going, kept going ,I learnt patience and preserverance  and it brought out the diamond in me *wink*….

John 16:33 In this world u will have many troubles but be of good Cheer because I have overcome the world….

 

The world may want to prove itself more powerful than you but that’s a lie, you are more powerful than the world. You’re more powerful than what u thought u were, your powerful than the failure, stagnation, frustration, pain,hurt anger etc.. When failure comes knocking… Remember a father who never forsakes his own children…he won’t forsake you

Never be scared to fail,its because of those failures you’re more than a conqueror..keep pushing and delight in his word daily. Never give up

 

One love💖
