Listen And Be Edified

Hey there!!!

Trust you're doing great today...

February went by so quickly! Well, thank God for the February; now, we await March!

Today, I'll be taking us through the path of a song I stumbled on recently: Spirit lead me ft. Micheal Ketterer. This is song is super amazing!

A line in the chorus of this song says: I'm done chasing feelings. In these times, when things seem rough and tough, we get so carried away sometimes that we forget to breathe and let God lead us; we get so caught up in the happenings around us that we unconsciously take over the steering wheel from the One Who ought to be leading us.

Whether it's worrying, getting anxious, doubting, or any other action devoid of faith, we must learn to consciously, constantly and consistently surrender to the leading of the Spirit. I've always told myself, worry (and anxiety) doesn't change anything about the situation. If God is working on it, why should I lose sleep over it as well? He doesn't slumber so I can relax and let Him take the lead while I follow. Besides, it brings Him honour and praise when He leads me (Psa. 23:4 NLT)

I particularly love the bridge of the song:

When all hope is gone,
And Your word is all I've got,
I have to believe
You still bring water from the rock
To satisfy my thirst
To love me at my worst
And even when I don't remember
You remind me of my worth

 I don't trust my ways
I'm trading in my faults
I lay down everything
"Cause You're all that I want
I've landed on my knees
This is the cup You have for me
And even when it don't make sense
I'm gonna let Your Spirit lead
Think on those lines for a moment: When all hope is gone... And Your word is all I've got... I have to believe (even if my flesh and mind are refusing to) You still bring water from the rock!

 Even when it doesn't make sense... This is where a lot of us have an issue. We can trust God right up till this point - when it no longer makes sense. We think that God's leading should make logical sense to us, forgetting that there's a reason the bible says we do not walk by sight - human senses and feelings.

I was recently studying the story of Jesus and the demon possed boy in Mark 9, whose father asked Jesus to heal His son "if He could". Jesus' response was epic:

"What do you mean, 'If I can'?" Jesus asked. "Anything is possible if a person believes." (Mark 9:23 NLT)

 So, it's not a question of God's ability to lead us in the right path; rather, the question is, do we trust Him enough to trust His leading?

Anything - including being led in the right path by God's Spirit - is possible if you will only believe.


Shalom!

Precious.

Love's Response

Have you ever wondered how the negative occurrences that took place in your childhood didn't take you out? Some of us did really terrible things when we were young... I'm trying hard not to shake this table but I actually heard of someone who, while playing, locked himself up in the freezer when he was young! How did he survive it?! God alone knows!  Well, as I was saying before the diversion, some of us did terrible things when we were young but for some others, terrible things happened to us. Some were abused physically, sexually, mentally etc. in their childhood, some had a child/children out of wedlock, some were terribly ill, some experienced difficulties in learning, some had their parents abandon them, and some people (like me😂) were rescued from 'falling' into a relationship that would have landed them where they shouldn't be. Everyone has a different story to tell, but did it ever occur to you that you're standing because somehow those things didn'

  Hey you! It's a been a whiiiilllllleee!😁 I know, and I apologise. I just kept saying "I'll write next month", until I went 3 months without writing! The dangers of procrastination😶 How have you been though? I trust all is well with you and yours. Today, I'd like to briefly share something that was on my heart at the beginning of the year and I've recently been reminded of. It took me a while to decide on what the topic would be as I wasn't sure how to capture it in one short phrase, but it became clear as I typed this. At the beginning of the year, we were told at my local assembly that it would be a year of wonders, and that God was set to work wonders in our lives. Of course, this got everyone excited as we anticipated the miraculous in every area of our lives. However, as I prayed that my family and I would see wonders, the Holy Spirit began to open my eyes to the fact that the wonders we were expecting wouldn't happen as many think; rather, it

Free Expert Editing for Authors and Startup Organisations

Hello! Welcome again to the blog!  I believe that your month went beautifully well -- goals were smashed, challenges were overcome, and you impacted at least one life positively. No worries if you still have some goals to smash. March isn't over yet😉  I come with exciting news! Tia Edits is currently running a free editing program for authors (or soon-to-be authors😎) and startup organisations . Yes, it's absolutely free. The need for this came while I was thinking about how to contribute to startup organisations by helping them push out error-free content. I also decided to add authors to the program because, as an author myself, I know how important the editing stage is to the success of any book. The package for authors includes editing three books from three authors over a period of 6 months, while that for organisations ( startups, small businesses,  online businesses etc.) includes editing the content of 2 organisations twice weekly, over a period of 2 months.  After tw
