Refuse to let go off your goals: your life depends on it!

To think a few years ago, when I was in primary school, my uncle went to Cape Town and bought himself Nike Shox sneakers, I used to borrow the sneakers whenever we had casual days at school. I'd be wearing a whole Pep outfit with Nike sneakers lol - I'm sure it seemed awkward to many. But now, I am able to buy my own sneakers (even though I am way past that stage of being brand conscience). Moral of the story: Life is like a race - every race has a starting point and also has a finish point, which most of the time is not on the same place. You may start off with nothing but if you have a goal that you refuse to give up on, you will eventually move to the next level of your life. A level where you will have everything you have desired and you will never be ashamed or ridiculed. You will be respected and celebrated. #I Have Spoken.

The Unspoken Truth About Failures & Mistakes

A chance to wipe the slate clean does not mean you can erase what happened the last time.

In fact, trying to forget what happened would be a very bad idea.

By disregarding or denying your history you are letting go of one of your most valuable resources. For it is through that experience that you can now be triumphant - if you remember it and you apply what you learned.

A Lesson From The Vending Machine

I tend to meditate and think a lot about the things of God and how they relate to our lives and God often lays something in my heart to share...

And in this regard, God has laid a word in my heart that says that people are more of "fame seekers" than "kingdom servers". What do I mean? Well, this is what the Lord is saying...

A vending machine is used to dispense refreshments of all sorts and when a person is thirsty, this particular person goes to the vending machine to get a coke right? Right. Now, when the person is refreshed by the coke, does the vending machine get the credit or the actual coke?

In the same way, people enter ministry and preach the Word of God but instead of giving God the glory, they proclaim their own 'greatness'.

Being able to preach does not say anything about you - you are merely a vessel that God uses. It is truly an honour and privilege for anyone to preach the Word of God.

NEVER EVER think you are better than anyone just because God has anointed you into ministry; a vending machine is useless without electricity and in the same way, without God your 'preaching ability' is worthless.

All glory goes to God. Ministry and leadership is and will never be about fame or celebrity-like lifestyles.

If you're in ministry to 'glorify' yourself and be 'the best' - then there's something wrong!

I have spoken.

I'm feeling poetic :)

I have weaknesses and I lack some things but you make up for my weaknesses and my lack - you complement me, if only you would realize that.

My heart cries out for you, not because I love how your brown glitter in the sunlight, but because your soul is a reflection of what I could become - you complete me, if only you would realize that.

Sometimes, it takes time...

The longer a teabag stays in hot water, the richer the taste and aroma of the tea...what am I saying?

Well, your destiny will sometimes take longer, because God is making you richer in character, value, knowledge, and wisdom.

Learn to trust God in everything, people are becoming millionaires all over, yes, but when you get there you will leave a legacy rather than wealth.

What can we learn from Jesus about growth?

Luke 2:52 -- "An Jesus grew in wisdom, stature and in favour with God and man"

This verse shows us that growth is not just about physical growth (which is natural) but also mental and social growth.

In Luke 2:41, we are introduced to Jesus as a twelve year old and His 'parents' are anxiously searching for Him, only to find Jesus in the temple where He was teaching. This is a beautiful picture drawn by the scripture - Jesus is twelve years old and where is He found? At the temple, the house of the Lord, where He is teaching and meditating upon the word of God. When you were twelve years old, where would people find you when they looked for you? Even now, where do people go in order to find you? Your true identity is only found in God; when people seek to know you, the only place they can go is to the Father.

Because Jesus spent much of His time reminiscing about God's word, He grew in (1) wisdom. This is a very important lesson, wisdom is not a natural phase you go through, it is intentional. That's why we still get immature grown-ups, but also mature youth. A analogy of "You reap what you sow" is very true in this regard - if you sow God's word, you will reap wisdom.

On another level, Jesus grew in (2) stature - now, stature, is physical growth. Jesus grew older, grew in height, etc. Now this is a natural phase of life, there is nothing much you can do to control it. However, a consistent lie we continue to tell ourselves is that wisdom comes with age, but in Jesus we can see that wisdom is intentional. Age is the mother of experience, not wisdom; wisdom is found in God and God alone.

Lastly, through Jesus we learn another element of growth, which is favour (which also means, good social standing). Jesus grew in favour with God, meaning that God was increasingly pleased by Jesus' wisdom, growth and way of life. Jesus also grew in favour with man, which shows that Jesus had a good influence on people; people wanted to be around Him because of His teachings and wisdom.

Scripture teaches us a lot of things about life, we just do not take the time to fully study the word. Apply what we have learned about growth, that we may be complete in mind (wisdom), body (stature) and favour.

True Christianity has to with lifestyle more than words, it is a relationship more than a religion.

TRUE Christianity is like a house made out of glass, and all believers are inside the house. People on the outside (unbelievers) do not hear what you say but see your actions.

Do people wish to know God because of your actions or are more and more people running away from being believers because you are just acting like a Christian?

Why pray if God can just help me?

I used to ask myself what is the purpose of praying if God can just help me. He knows everything, so why should I pray for something He sees?

I'm sure I am not the only one who has questioned this right? Well, while I was praying yesterday, God revealed the answer to me.

We know we are made in God's image and likeness, and God is Spirit right? And we also know we should pray in truth and in Spirit - see the connection?

Well, the reason why we should pray is that, your likeness is of God which means your spirit has the same power God has, now when you pray in truth and in spirit, you're operating in God's power and whatever that you proclaim will happen.

God needs you to activate this operation and He will do the rest. Do not forget that He has given us free will to do whatever we want and so, He cannot just intervene in our lives without us inviting Him.

You do not need to fear anything...

Did you know, God has assigned more than 10 000 angels to you?

Ever wondered why people get involved in car accidents but you are always safe? That's because of the angels - the angels of war (led by the arch-angel, Micheal). These angels go in-front of you and protect you.

Acknowledge these angels upon your lives and call upon them in prayer, God assigned them to you, to serve you.

That's God's love for you!

Two very important lessons I learned today...

Today, I learned two very important lessons. For one, I learned that we are not called into church but we are called to share the church. How? Well, for some, church is a place where they can run to when they have problems - sharing the church is ultimately sharing the love of God and actually being a pillar of strength for all people, whether saved or not.

Secondly, I learned that you never really start loving people until you fast and pray for others more than you pray for yourself. Pastor Fischer said that he has learned that God specifically reveals certain people's problems or burdens to you intentionally - and when that happens, you need to find out what God wants you to do for that person. Sometimes you don't have to do much but pray or just be a shoulder to cry on.

I have a friend, I love her wholeheartedly, and I realized that I am more concerned about her more than I am concerned about myself and I have decided to pray for her throughout the week (as she's going through a tough time) and you know what I realized? Since I have decided to pray for her, I love her even more. This is what God refers to as love.

My neighbour lost his job during the week and after thinking about what Pastor Fischer said, I realized that God made me aware of this, so I can pray, firstly, for my neighbour and secondly guide him in Christ and invite him to church.

I have found the true meaning of love. This is where selfless love starts - where you put people's issues before yours and that's where God will attend to your own issues, in a mighty way.

If you know that someone is going through something, it is not by chance. God wanted you to know because that person's breakthrough lies in your prayers or intervention. Just ask God what He expects you to do.

Go out there and share God's love.

Christianity: For those who DO.

You know why certain people, who proclaim to know the bible, don't get far in life or rather in their spiritual walk? They're too busy quoting scriptures rather than living them.

As a parent, you tell your kids to go clean their room, 20 minutes they come back and they say to you "daddy, I memorized what you said, you said I must clean my room - I can even say it in Greek" - do you want your child to clean the room or memorize what you said?

That's what certain people do. They memorize scripture but they do not do what the scripture say. And what does Jesus say? "Not everyone who calls me Lord will enter the gates of Heaven, but he who DOES the will of my Father"

Knowing scripture is a very good thing but it loses weight when it is not implemented - the life of a Christian/believer is how you live, not what you memorize.

Relationships are more intentional than natural...

A few days ago, I was watching TBN and surprisingly they were talking about relationships. But more about how to maintain relationships.

The pastor said something that stuck in my mind, he said, "relationships are more intentional than natural, you have to work very hard on them. Naturally, relationships drift apart unless you work on them".

In Genesis, after Adam and Eve had eaten the fruit, God called out to Adam and asked him a very significant question - God asked Adam, "where are you?". God was not asking for Adam's physical location (obviously God saw where Adam was) but God was actually referring to His relationship with Adam - Adam hid himself from God and thus he separated himself and violated the closeness he had with God. What happened after this? Adam and Eve started blaming each other for eating the fruit - isn't that what we do in our relationships? We blame one another, rather than admitting to our mistakes and restoring the closeness we have for one another.

Now, the title of this note is "is there such a thing as 'the one'"...in my opinion, there is no such thing. Like the pastor on TBN had said, relationships are more intentional than natural - meaning that whomever you decide to pursue a relationship with (and work on it) is the 'one'. What I mean is that whomever you choose is your one. There's no supernatural force that labelled people as 'meant to be'.

With that said, remember that relationships are intentional - work hard on them, do not play the blame game, respect one another and keep in mind what the bible says, "women submit to your husbands...and men love your wives as Christ loved the church".
