DIG OUT THE GOLD IN YOU

-


Job 8:7 KJV

[7] Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase.


When you see a butterfly, you admire it’s beauty. It undergoes a change process which can not be skipped or avoided to become what it is. Change can be painful but it is necessary for growth. Everyone must undergo changes in life. Unforeseen twists and turns happen in life. We all encounter different obstacles, it is our response to these challenges that changes us. Change process may not be easy as it will test your level of endurance and patience, and how well you are able to deal with stress and frustration. Know what to feed on physically,  spiritually and mentally. It’s not everything that is good for you. As you take in new things, there are some old things you need to do away with so that they don’t limit or hinder you. As you begin this process it may look like nothing is happening. Keep at it. A lot happens behind the scene. On the outside, you may look the same, but on the inside, amazing changes are taking place. It’s not a time to worry or hurry. Nobody sees when the butterfly begins to form the legs, eyes, antennas and wings. The old body will no longer be needed when the work is completed. It will no longer be a crawling caterpillar but a flying butterfly, that it was meant to be. What are the things that you need to let go as your transformation begins to take place, to be whom you were destined to be? Is it a past experience, unforgiving spirit, anger? Please do. A messed up or mixed up life can be transformed into something beautiful by God. Get ready to fly, to try new things, to explore, to get to new horizon. With God on your side there’s no limit to whom you can be. SOAR.

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
