Acceptance

The world is full of different people. We are all different from one another. We get along with some people better than others. Sometimes we prefer certain kinds of people over others. We just don't like some characters, because they are just plain irritating. Some people just suck on your life and you never get anything from them. Some people are just too controlling and never give you a space to breath. Some people are just rude, some people are dirty e.t.c the list can go on about certain things we don't like in different individuals. The problem is that sometimes we don't acknowledged to ourselves that we don't like certain characters. If we don't not acknowledge certain things to God and to ourselves we will not grow. We will remain the same. If you want to be able to accept different kinds of people understand that they are not all the same and there are certain things about them that you may not like, but if you bring it before the Lord and you acknowledg

With You

Matthew 28:20 "....lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world" Jesus mentions that He is will always be with us. Always means all the time regardless of what you are doing or what is happening to you. In everything we do Jesus is always with us. The verse Hebrews 13:8 "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever." is different from I am with you always. The one in Hebrews 13 talks about the character of God. His character never changes. He will always remain the same. Hebrews 13 however does not mean that God will always answer us the same way. It does not mean that He will always do things in our lives the same way. If He answered you a certain way in the past it does not mean He will answer you the same way in the future. If something bad happened to you in the past it does not mean that it will happen to you again. If something good happened to you in the past it does not mean it will happen again. God promises us that He

Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani

Matthew 28:46 "And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" Jesus was doing a new thing here. It was something that had never been done and will never be done again. He was being crucified for our sins so that we may be connected to God. It was a new thing altogether and the best thing ever for human kind. When God is doing a new thing in our lives or is preparing to do a new thing in our lives it may seem like He has forsaken us. When He is about to give us a new revelation about Him sometimes it may seem like He has forsaken us. God likes brokenness, He wants to break everything that we know and teach us new things His way as we grow from glory to glory. God wants us to be open before Him, when we feel like He has forsaken us, let Him know and He will tell you what to do. Today I want to encourage you to hold on to God no matter what happens because He is doin

Which Battle To Fight.

"Choose your battles" Today I want to encourage you to choose your battles carefully. Sometimes we are tempted to fight battles that do not belong to us. It is very important to hear God and understand that God is the one who is to choose our battles and also give us a battle plan. Without the leadership of the Lord every battle you fight will end up in defeat. As Children of God we are warriors, we are constantly fighting spiritual battles, however its a shame that some people are always defeated because they are constantly fighting battles which do not belong to them. Before you carry out a battle always ask yourself "Is it worth it?" some battles are not worth fighting. Please make sure that you fight your God ordained battles and He will be the one in front of you. Don't just fight haphazardly.

Home in Heaven

There are many Scriptures in the Holy Bible that speak about heaven. Heaven is our destination where we will dwell eternally with the Creator. It is a place where there will be no tears and no sorrow. It is a place that will be full of joy and full of the glory of God. It is a place where there will be no sickness at all. This world that we are living in is a temporary dwelling place. We are being prepared for our final home. Be careful not to get caught up with the things of this world. Let us always keep in mind as Christians that we are in a Journey Home. Be careful not to be led astray by a movement in church which focuses on the things of this world. True joy and freedom is found in the will of God and in nothing else. Let us always remember what Christianity is all about. You know there is a problem when Christians fight for positions, and for possessions. Let us remember to guard our hearts with all diligence. Be blessed and lets continue moving towards home.
