ANCHOR OF FORGIVENESS

I recently watched a very sad and moving video of a man's journey to true love, forgiveness and family value. it does really take God to forgive and sometimes he lets us go through some pale situations just to make us better when we heed to his will and word. FORGIVENESS!! FORGIVENESS!!

A VIRTOUS WOMAN

I read the story of abigael in the bible and i kept thinking about what a woman? what an amazing and an intelligent full of a woman there and many other women of God in the bible like Esther, Hannah, Naomi and so many of them. After Nabal Abigail's husband insulted the king Abigail knew she had to take charge or else her family would be destroyed, she could have ran away if she wanted, she could have insulted the husband or even killed him, But she knew that she had to do something, to stand for the Gap and to take the mess, i do salute Her. she quickly packs some food for the king and his army as it is in 1st samuel 25:18 on through to verse 23, where she met the king David and threw herself down his feet, she had to take it upon herself and didnt care whatever was going to happen. so who is a virtous woman?

A WOMAN OF VIRTUE

1. A woman who honours God- the bible talks about beauty and God, it says Beauty comes to an end but a woman who honours the lord should be praised- Proverbs 31:30, other versions say that ''charm is deceptive and beauty disappears but a woman of God should be praised. women we need to honour God, we need to stand up for God and declare ''WOMEN FOR JESUS''

2. A Woman who stands up for others- With these i do not need to go far, because we have multiple examples and a good example being Abigael who had to come down for the sake of the ''pig-headed husband as its written in the bible, Esther who stood up for the sake of the israelites in the hardest time of their lives when they were facing persecution.


3. A hard working woman- This i do not need to explain, it is all wrapped up in Proverbs 31:10-31, in v:17, it says '' she is a hard worker, strong and industrious.

4. A submissive woman- we should learn to submit, the bible tells us that, as much as we are strong on one way, we are also weak on another way, we should realize that there is some authority above us and that is from men, many women of the bible submitted and respected the upper hand: we see abigael kneeling before the king, not insulting the husband who is such a pick, Esther requesting for permission before entering the king's most private place and so forth.

I keep thinking and such things and i believe that unless a woman truly captures her purpose in this life, then many lives are going to be lost, we need to stand for our nations, we need to have it all clopped up in our arms, women are created to make right. many things are happening in this world, marriages are broken, young people are losing directions, poverty has eaten the worst in nations, wrong decisions are being made in governments and its too much, why? because many women dont realize what lies in them, Lets honour God, lets heal the world, lets work hard, lets take control because we were created for such for that, for that is our purpose.

The act of positive thinking

Many a times we have had people talking about the mind, the importance of positive thinking, books have been published on ways to renew our mind and also the precious word of God tells us so. when i talk about the mind-thought sector and the internal and external effects that it has on an individual then i really know what am talking about as it is to say. There is this way that a thought acts on you spiritually, emotionally and physically. a positive thought is like a driving fire that burns you up, it either hits you up or beats you down. Before i as an individual got to understand the importance of positive thinking i did really struggle alot, I would wake up in the morning even before i come out of bed and the only thing that i would be thinking about was what are you going to do now venah? there is definately nothing good about you, look at how much behind you are? you are a failure, definately you are, what have you achieved????. And as i kept thinking about this i created a vacuum for the devil to work on me, and he kept reminding me of all the bad stuff that i went through, what people did to me and all that, and i really become angry, mad very mad and sad and i had nothing to look forward to, i didnt feel like waking up, and decided to extend my sleep, i later woke up feeling very tired and all moody and whatever i used to do best on that day it became worse, i went through this circle of misery, till one day when the lord spoke to me about me renewing my mind, about the lies that the devil has put in me to limit me, because he only came to steal, kill and destroy and that am being mean to myself and God who created me as He says that i am worthy before Him and i knew i had to change, it wasnt easy shifting my mind from a U turn to an S turn as it took God's word and prayer and practice, as it got to me i realized that every time i thought good things, i would have this energy and an amazing driving force that would push me to do whatever i was thinking about, For example, when i think about how fearfully and wonderfully made i am, i put my head high, i put on the jacket of confidence and self esteem, i work hard to achieve the good things that God says He will give me, There is a difference between two people who wake up at the same time, one feeling miserable and lost the other feeling confident and worthy, i believe the first person will loose opportunities, collide with other people, do even worse things and miss out on all the good things that life can offer, because as the saying goes we attract who we are and what we think of, while the second person, who feels more confident will work to the best level of what he has, will attract favour and blessings from all the sides, it is all said and done, Positive releases positive results which in turn releases amazing opportunities, some diseases are better healed through our mind than through our money, if only the world would be positive life would be easy for us. as i wind up let me give easy ways to be a better person through positive thinking

                               POSITIVE THINKING

1. Know who you are( The bible tells us that we are fearfully and wonderfully made from the image of God, we look like God, worthy and favoured and blessed) when you know who you are where you came from then nothing is going to limit you. Knowing who you are is also a practise as you constantly need to remind yourself that you are worthy and loved this way you are going to lock all the weapons of the enemy in your mind.

2. Have a driving force-Think about what you want to achieve and what you want to be and imagine yourself already there this will be a driving force

3. Feed yourself with the right things- our environment plays a big role on us, that includes the people we hang out with, the things we talk about, those things that we feed on, those that get to us are what we need to watch out for, the word of God talks about thinking about good and pleasant things, in phillipines it says whatever is noble, pure............................put your mind on such things.

4. Its all starts with God and ends with God- the bible tells us that there is nothing we can do without the lord, in our own strength we are going to fail, so as you strive to change your mind seek Gods help and read His word constantly

Have a google day;

GOD WORKING IN THE VALLEY OF HOPELESSNESS

After a hard day from work, i decided to take my bible the word of God and read it as i usually do, that previous morning i was very sad about so many things that happen in the world, the sufferings and wars and struggles that we as human beings go through and i kept asking myself if God in His mercy seat and throne is going to remember His people. As i was going through my bible filled with so much sadness, God brought me to a very strong and mighty word, i come to think and i know that God spoke to me there and then. He took me to Ezekiel 37:1-14 where God took Ezekiel to a place full of bones that have no life, probably a place that to me and you would look all lost and ended without hope, But that encourages me because God doesn't see things the way we do, He is God supreme over all, the Alpha and Omega. through the verse God goes on to ask Ezekiel if the bones can come back to life verse 3: ''Mortal man, can these bones come back to life?'' Ezekiel a human being like you and i out of human weakness and limitations doesnt know but only God Knows, God orders Him to prophecy to the bones and immediately they change from non-meaty skeletons to meaty as i would call it. Then the Lord orders Ezekiel to prophecy to the bones and they come back to life. In verse 11-14 God says that the people of israel are like the dried bones, they said they are dried up, with no hope, lost and without a future to look forward to. But He goes on to say that He the mighty Lord will remove them from their graves and bring them back to life, He will breath to them again, give them life and a land of their own. This was an encouragement to me, Because many times we go through situations and we feel unworthy and broken, destroyed and without anything to look forward to, But here God tells us that He is and will change everything around Because He is God, it doesnt matter the kind of shame you and i have had to go through, what names we have been given by people, whether we have lost so more than enough be it our spouses, jobs, children, wealth and we are left discouraged and dead. God is able to turn that around, He Has the last word, He will restore and break the life out of us once again, I pray that this might be an encouragement to someone today who feels its over, its never over till God says so, He Has to turn everything around He Has to, He wants to, He needs to Because He Has promised to, I refuse to die in shame, to give up, to let my situations led me to death. He spoke to the dried bones and they lived,why not you and me. He can just trust in Him and like me make a decision to trust in His word Completely.

THE VOICE OF THE LORD IN STORM

Today i am going to emphasize in the book of
PSALMS 29:3-11
The voice of the Lord is heard on the seas, the glorious God thunders, and his voice echoes over the ocean.
The voice of the lord is heard in all its might and majesty.
The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars, even the cedars of Lebanon.
He makes the mountains of Lebanon jump like calves and makes Hermon leap like a young bull.
The voice of the Lord makes the lightining flash, His voice makes the the desert shake; He shakes the desert of Kadesh.
The Lord's voice shakes the oaks and strips the leaves from the trees while everyone in his Temple shouts, ''Glory to God''
The Lord rules over the deep waters;
he rules as king for ever.
The Lord gives strength to its people.

And am like wow what a verse, it struck me with all its might, that God's voice is the anchor of our lives, it says His voice makes mountains jump like calves, mountains signifiying problems, financial problems, sickness, rejection, those things that seem so big before us, things that drain us and confuse us and hit us, what we dont realize is that they are nothing before the king of Glory, HIs authoritative, strong voice can do anything, it doesnt matter the kind of desert that the enemy has thrown us in God is able to speak and to shake that desert or cave and set us free. we need to learn to hear the voice of God and to differentiate it from other voices that only deceive us, God speaks once and He does not need to prove or defend His word, lets trust in God as he speaks.
