CHANGING THE NORM 2

 CHANGING THE NORM 2

The daughters of Zelophehad went to Moses in Numbers 27 to ask for their possession even though it wasn’t the custom in Israel to will anything to daughters since their father had no son. That age long tradition could have stopped them as it had stopped some other women in times past. These ladies knew what was ahead but they were determined to take a chance. Those who don’t take a chance don’t get ahead. Are you ready and willing to take a chance in this new year? Moses took it to God and God said the daughters of Zelophehad spoke right and should surely be given their possession. And because they dared made that move, it became a law in Israel that if a man dies and has no sin, his inheritance should pass to his daughter. It’s your turn to make history. What if they didn’t ask? Is any what if coming to your mind now? Are you inspired by the story of these ladies to go after what life is depriving you of, what you are entitled to or what is not usually the norm?

Life will not give you what you deserve but what you demand. Ask and you will be given. Change has to enforced. Things don’t just happen, people make them happen. It is not easy to enforce change but it is possible. Change is defined as making or becoming a different substance entirely; transform; arrive at a fresh phase, become new. 

With this definition, change may mean overhauling the existing system and developing new structures and strategies. Be ready to take new territories and get entirely new result this year. Transformation begins in the mind. Believe it, make the move and accomplish it.Pursue your conviction.  This is your best year . Go for it .

Shalom

Uncontrollable Circumstances of life

I woke on the 4th of June which was my birthday with a heart of thanksgiving. I honestly have so many reasons to thank God looking at the goodness of God in my life. It was a Sunday and the church celebrated me, coupled with the fact that the day before was our 28th wedding anniversary. So it was double celebration characterized with so much singing and dancing, giving glory to God.  Usually my parents will call early to sing and pray, which was their custom for all their children and grandchildren, but they didn’t call me. I assumed it was because it was a Sunday and they knew we will be getting ready for church.  After service I called to ask why they didn’t call me, my mom said I should put that aside. They prayed for me. I spoke with my mom thrice that day, the last was 6pm when she called saying she will be going to buy something. I said I’ll come the following day to take since she prefers I drive her instead of her driver, but she said I shouldn’t bother. My dad called me at 8:3

DON’T GIVE UP

  Challenges and dificulties are unavoidable. They come whether you are walking in God’s will or not. Sarah, Hannah and Elizabeth had to contend with barrenness. We all have to contend with one challenge or the other at every point in life.  When you are faced with difficult situations, do you give up or walk through? A very good example of a person that persevered is Abraham Lincoln. He failed some many times but he pushed past his failures and eventually became the 16th president of the United States. His name is known till date because he didn’t give up. Life is full of experiences that will make you swim or sink.    Don’t wait to learn to swim when the boat is at verge of capsizing. God is always willing to walk us through every difficult situation. Build a strong relationship with God before crises.  Faith believes what it can’t see which is contrary to the world standard. People can easily relate with what they can see that is why they state the obvious. Always see the light at t

COUNT IT ALL JOY

  James 1:2-3 KJV - My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; 3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. Contrary to the normal human mindset, we are instructed to count our trials and temptations as joy. This is kingdom mindset, not the world’s. God’s plan is to use our trials to make us grow and to strengthen us.    This looks impossible to the natural man. That is why the scriptures the natural man receives not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. Those trials try our faith and produce patience in you. Faith is built as you hear the word of God, but trials reveal how much faith you have. Faith is tested through trials but not produced by trials. Counting your trials as joy is a way of expressing your faith and it shows whether you are focusing on the trial or on God. When you focus on God, it depicts your trust in Him and empowers you to giv
