"...That it will be well with you..."

Still on the topic of obedience... Many a time, we study God's word and it looks like what God is 'demanding' is just too much for comfort. We feel He's just a task master seeking who would be his scapegoat or we simply decide to obey some and leave the rest for the 'more spiritual people'. But have you ever sat down to think, "what is God's main reason behind asking me to do these things?"

In the text above, God's big idea is spelt out for us to read. I can just imagine God crying out, "Oh! If they only they would obey Me... Follow My instructions so I can bless them... I have blessed them but I want to rain even more blessings upon them... If only they would heed My voice..." In the long run, it's all for our good. All the commandments, all the instructions, the do's and dont's etc It's all so we can enjoy all that God has in store for us. God is passionate about your wellbeing!!!
Further down that verse, it says, "so that it might be well with them and with their children forever!" Wow! I think we just found one key to generational blessings! So, if you obey, you stand to gain from it and then your unborn children also stand to gain from it! God told King David the same thing, that was the reason someone from his lineage was always on the throne.

 And now it's your turn... 

 God's plan for us are the best you could ever have however, we must cooperate with Him if we will see His plans fulfilled in our lives... Begin your obedience challenge now! Do EVERYTHING He asks of you, by the help of the Holy Spirit, and watch Him play His part!

 Have an awesome week-of-obedience! ;)

 Shalom!
Precious.

Inside Work

  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

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'

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
