Hello there,
Its been some time since I put something up on this blog page. It takes getting used to for some of us who have not been bitten by the social media bug. Thanks to my sisters in Ethiopia and brethren here in lusaka who God used to birth this page I am committed to learn and grow it this new chapter in my walk with God and you out there. Please bear with me we are work in progress.
That said Let us come to the matter we are to digest for today. Have you ever asked yourself why some people fail and others succeed. Particularly as christians? Why is it that the things God, who cannot lie,has promised but we are not seeing the results in our lives. I think of this often being a student of life and I want to submit to you my thoughts with your kind permission.
I realize that all the promises of God are mere opportunities and possibilities that only come alive and are fertilized to be born as our reality when the promises meet responsibility. Responsibility here being a persons right response to God.
Every promise of God, every prophesy, every word requires the recipient to do something for it to come to pass. Every such promise or word is not up to God for it to come to pass but up to us to make it happen. It takes a certain kind of person to see Gods best in life,not everybody comes into Gods best,Gods rest. Who is this person? The bible tell us of that person in Romans 12:1-2. We can not prove Gods best for our lives without a renewed mind. You may ask why? I believe it is because it takes a certain kind of mind to access and prove Gods best. We must have a renewed mind to prove what is Gods perfect will for us in every situation we face in life.
Lets explore Jer:17:5-10. It tells of two kinds of people,one that trusts in God and his heart is secure in Him. The other is one that trusts in man and his heart has departed from the Lord. One will not see when good comes, while the other will not see when evil comes. Have you thought about it that the two are actually looking at the same thing? Same economy, same conditions but see different results. Why? I think its is because of their mindsets. One trusts in God so he recognizes good when it comes,remember David and Goliath, Samson and the lion,Daniel and the den of lions,Ruth and Naomi,the widow of Zaraphat.
The other will not see when good comes,Eve and Adam, Cain and his sacrifice,Esau and his birthright,Lot choosing sodom,and so on. When we study the bible we find that the way people saw things determined their choices,their attitude and these determined their destinies. Your attitude and your choices are determining everything in your life.
Your attitude to God is expressed in what we call worship.Worship is the external expression of a mans heart condition and disposition to God. It goes beyond singing. The opposite of worship is pride,this is where you make yourself worth more than God in your life. You are your own god. Its your life,you can choose as you like and do what you want. Such people cannot worship God but rather seek people to bow to them and worship them by deferring to them, they having their way all the time.
You choices are expressed in obedience and the outcomes are either blessings,Gods empowerment to prosper, or cursing, life's limiting and debilitating forces.
These two kinds of people have either humbled themselves to obey and be led by God through The Holy Ghost, or are high minded and are led by themselves,their senses and carnal desires.
Where are you in this picture? In my next blog we will pick this thought and look at that person that comes into Gods fullness and Gods best. How it can be done, we will explore. We will also see the other side too.
I have to go now because its time for prayers. 5pm local time. Talk to you soon. For now think on these things.
Let your light shine,you are Gods best.
God bless you.
