You will not be put to shame

 Romans 10:11

As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in Him will never be put to shame.”

Life has different seasons, seasons for planting, pruning and harvesting. Some seasons may seem too harsh, but is part of the process and is necessary. This season may seem to others as though God doesn't love you or care for you, as He might be instilling certain character in you. God strengthens us through practice, in order to develop patience in us, He will put us in circumstances where we have to wait and wait. It isn't that He is not aware of what you may be waiting for, but through that waiting process, He is developing that character in you. You may be losing certain things/people, which may seem unfair, but it may be part of the process to develop certain characters in you. During these seasons, we may feel shameful or embarrassed, but that won't be long. God already said, those who believe in Him, will not be put to shame. Once the preparation season is done, comes harvest! 

This is where the psalm of David comes, Psalm 23:5 where God prepares a table for you, in the presence of your enemies. This is when they are forced to swallow their words when they realize that all along, God has been with you. That you were planted, not buried. When you are planted, you are undergoing development, nutrients provided for, and when the time is right, there'll be some movement, big movement that will shock everyone. 
I'm urging you to endure the process, there will be rewards!

Let us remember the true meaning of Christmas

We are drawing closer to Christmas and it dawned on me that we have to take a moment and remember the true meaning of Christmas, the reason why we celebrate Christmas. On this day, we remember that the king of kings was born, our Saviour, our redeemer in whom we find ourselves free. Free to have a relationship with our Father, free from sin and death, free from bondage, free from sicknesses. That we are guaranteed an external life after death. This shows that it is indeed a BIG deal. This was the greatest gift that God gave us, one we should be grateful for, for eternity. I'm reminded of one of the oldest bible verses I learnt which is John 3:16 that tells us that God LOVED the world so much, that He gave His one and only SON, so that whoever believes in Him, will not perish but will have eternal life. That is such a blessing!! Prophet Isaiah told of this in Isaiah 9:6 which says " For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. An...

Find rest in Him

The bible tells us that God had always desired for us to do life with Him, work with Him.  Matthew 11:2 7 says:  "Come to me, all you who are  weary and burdened , and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."  Here God invites us to do His will, not what we chose for ourselves that could've resulted in us being burdened and worn out, but to go to Him as His yoke is easy and the burden that is light. This results in us learning how to do things, as we rely on Him. Proverbs 3:5-6  Trust in the   Lord   with all your heart  and lean not on your own understanding;  in all your ways submit to him,   and he will make your paths straight. This emphasizes that leaning on our own understanding and ways, can lead to crocked paths, ones that can yield frustration, hurt, pain, delay, failures and more as...

The last will be first!!

Image
 Matthew 19:30 But many who are first will be last, and many who are last will be first . God's ways are not our ways. Sometimes in life, we may feel delayed, only to find that we are on time- in God's timing. God says those who are first, will be last and those that were last, will be first. This can apply in any area of our lives, where life may have been unfair, where we found ourselves in the wilderness , stagnant, confined. But I am learning that we may feel like we are buried (whilst others flourish); nope, in actual fact, we have been planted. Like a seed, that is planted in the ground, where it is dark, humid and no space to move. That's where growth takes place . In those moments , God is preparing us, equipping us and this is equivalent to being watered , day-in, day-out. But when the time is right, that seed that  was in the ground, not visible, now it springs forth and when it does, it shoots like crazy because it is equipped  and ready! Some may feel it happe...
