"...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.

CULTIVATE THANKFULNESS

  One year ago today, I was kidnapped.  Yeah, you saw that right... KIDNAPPED.  The whole ordeal lasted for a few hours, some money had to be paid, and I had a few bruises here and there but...the testimony is that I'm here today! Rather than wonder why it had to happen at all, I choose be thankful. Oh, I'm so thankfulllll! Besides, prior to that incident, there had been many other robbery incidents where my life was at stake, but GOD! So this is me saying ABBA, KEEPER, SUSTAINER, THANK YOU!

Purpose & Assignment (Part 2): Learning from the four Hebrew boys and Esther

Image
  Hello! Welcome to another edition of purpose and assignment 😁 So, here are a few things that caught my attention as I studied Esther and the four Hebrew boys recently. I hope they are of great use to you especially in the coming year. See you at the end...🌞 🌲 Gather knowledge (Dan. 1:4). In the story of the Hebrew boys, one of the criteria for the men that the king would choose to serve his government was that they had to be "well versed in all kinds of wisdom ." (KJV) It's one thing to be a master in a certain field but to be versed in ALL kinds of wisdom?This meant that they couldn't be limited to the knowledge they got from their formal education, they had to be avid readers and voracious learners. Bear in mind that this was their own purpose journey and, as such, they risked missing out on God's plan for them if they failed in this criteria.  Important Tip : This wasn't a role God could play for them, they had to do this by and for themselves. Can yo...

Mind Limitations

Image
  Hiya!🤗 How have you been? In the last few months, I have been drawn to the power that our minds wield over our lives. I've found out that it's easy to be yielded in our spirits, but our minds are a totally different ballgame. We tell God that He can do whatever He pleases with and through us, but, in truth, our minds are screaming "No!" This is how we limit God in our minds. God works with the capacity that we place in His hands; in this case, your mental capacity or mental space. And I'm not speaking in terms of intelligence or brilliance. It's actually more about how open you are in your mind to what God wants to do through and in you.  How big a dream are you willing to dream with God? Is there a limit to how far you can see, with God? If, for instance, you're believing God for a breakthrough in your business or career, it's very possible that your spirit has already received it but your mind is still keeping it away. It's possible that you w...
