Greatness lives in you!

 1 John 4:4

You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the One who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. 

It is important to know who you are, or else the world will define it for you and that would cause confusion and chaos as different people would want/expect different things from you. But when God defines who you are, you can be assured that it wont change, no matter what the circumstances are. Also, you could find yourself struggling with something that you were not supposed to, had you know who you are.

For example, as children of God, we have the greatest advantage ever- the Holy Spirit. He is our helper, teacher, the One who reminds us, our comforter, strengthener (John 14:15-26) and so much more. Meaning, we do not have to do life on our own strength, figuring things out on our own, when we have a helper. This is greatness at its best! So it is important to realize this fact and apply it in your own life, recognizing Him and at every point, ask for help to ensure that you don't stumble.

There's a project I was passionate about, that I was heading at my previous employer. When I left, I thought it was going to be overlooked and cancelled. However, I was pleasantly surprised to learn that actually funding was secured and about 50 SMMEs are going to be supported with their businesses and about 100 SMMEs trained over a period of five years; which is wonderful! This made me realize that when God gives us instructions, we must never disobey as we might not know what God's plans are. He did say that He is blessing us to be blessings to others. You might not know who will benefit out of that, but God does; which is why it is important to trust Him. Also, I realized that when you are given a task, you might be the one assigned to start it, but not the one to see it through. Just like Moses and Joshua. They had different roles, Moses' key role was to get the Israelites out of Egypt and Joshua's role was to usher them into the promised land. Both critical roles but different. Hence, don't force to do everything, appreciate the part you are given and do it to the best of your ability. God will appoint somebody else to finish it off.

Therefore, recognize that GREATNESS, LIVES IN YOU! You are not alone, with God, you will achieve great things in this life. Be blessed.

Our King is alive, He sees and hears you...

 1 Peter 3:18 Christ suffered for our sins once for all time. He never sinned, but He died for sinners to bring you safely home to God. He suffered physical death, but He was raised to life in the Spirit. The recollection about Jesus, is one of the most powerful  story ever. His life story has impacted humanity so much, we just find ourselves in awe and feeling privileged . Jesus died for us, sinners, in order to bring us safely home, to our Father, how amazing is that! He was born to die for us, in order for us not to perish , but to live an eternal life, in communion with our Father (John 3:16). What is wonderful also, is that in as much they crucified Him and He died, He subsequently rose after three days. This means, our King is alive! We serve a King that is alive and infact through  the Holy Spirit, He lives in us! This gives  us boldness that we are not going through life on our own, but we have the Most High living in us and being there with us even in turbulent  times, just li

By knowing Christ, we get a chance of living a life that is pleasing to the Lord.

 2 Peter 1:3 By His divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a Godly life. We have received all of this by coming to know Him, the one who called us to Himself by means of His marvelous glory and excellence. By coming to know Christ, learning about Him in the word, we now have the ability to live a Godly life. This means by God's divine power, He has equipped us with the relevant information and teachings, on how we are to live our lives. The bible tells us that Jesus was sent to be our role model, our example of the things the Lord expects to see in us and to see in our daily walk here on earth. These things allow us to live a life that is acceptable in His eyes. However, God understands that we are not perfect (and we should never pressurize ourselves to be perfect), but with the guidance we have, we know that where we fall short, we can run to the Lord without guilt or shame, knowing that He is our Father who loves us and is willing to help us every step of t

Let us tell of the wonderful things He has done!

 Psalm 9:1 I will praise you, LORD, with all my heart; I will tell of all the marvelous things You have done. And that is called a testimony, telling of the wonderful  things that the Lord has done! With God on our side, we have  an advantage, where we are protected from certain things, where God ochestrates things for us so that they work in our favour (Romans 8:28). He heals us, He provides for us, He opens and closes doors and so much more. Which is why the only two things that we can do to show gratitude for all that He does for us, is first to recognize His role in the whole thing . That in our own strength, we wouldn't have been able to achieve those thigs, gotten favoured or have that opportunity come through. Basically,  giving credit where it is due, and by so doing, we give Him the glory and honour that He deserves. The second thing   that   we  ought to do, is to testify of His goodness in our lives. Us sharing of what we have seen in our lives God doing, can give someon
