JUST RUN

I learnt something when I was reading the sixth and seventh chapters of the Book of Genesis.
I read about how Daddy(God) gave Noah 7 days to build the ark that was going to house his entire family and all the various kinds of animals of this earth...in single and seven pairs.

I was trying to comprehend how Noah was able to build the ark in seven days. Then I thought to myself how natural it would have been to tell God that, 'It's only seven days and how am I going to get all these done in seven days?!'

But I learnt that when Daddy gives an assignment, He has already counted the cost. He knows exactly what He Is doing and if He has said something or given an assignment, it means it can be done.

...But, if it will he done, it is up to us.
It takes a willingness to undertake the task. Are you willing?

I began to wonder how Noah was going get all these animals into the ark. Then I came across the 15th verse of the seventh chapter which reads, 'Pairs of all creatures that have life in them came to Noah and entered the ark.' 
I saw here that Daddy Himself caused the animals to enter the ark.

Daddy knew the end. He knew how everything was going to pan out. Had Noah worried about the hows, he would have been crippled by the many 'what ifs' and that would have just hindered the progression of his assignment.

Guess what, he went straight to work...and God did it!

Our walk is filled with many many assignments but guess what?

THE ZEAL OF THE LORD WILL ACCOMPLISH IT.

When Daddy calls and gives you an assignment, don't look left, don't look right and don't even look back at where you are coming from.

Baby, just run straight ahead.

Just run.

Day eleven: The Authentic Hgh

This morning, I was pondering over a video Tabitha Brown posted on instagram  a few days ago ( link here ). In her video, she was talking about how people were always sending her Dms to tone down on how much she speaks of Jesus in all her work. She said a lot of meaningful things which you will find in the link I have attached.  My Quiet Time last week Friday was sourced from Timothy 4:8 which reads " For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things,  holding promise for both the present life  and the life to come. " It was a super "Aha" moment for me because I found a scripture from the Bible which assures me that I will profit a great deal from my resolve, to live for God, both in the now life and in the life which is to come. How cool is that?!  Now that the premise for today's post has been laid, let me tell you what the authentic high is all about. This is going to get personal... it is the only way I can properly relay the mes

February 17th - ...but We used to be friends....

Have you ever felt tears well up in your chest so hard and heavy that you know you could easily burst into heaves of tears in any given moment? I had one of such moments today.  The first reading at Mass today was from the Book of Jeremiah 17:5-8 and there is a portion that talks about how accursed is the man who puts his trust in man and in his own strength. It talks about the dryness such a man encounters and how this man will never see prosperity.  I was convicted by this Scripture because it showed so clearly that the condition of my heart has been like one of such a man. Why am I saying so? Aside getting my second degree, I am trying to be intentional about my Spiritual growth and about music ministry in church. Basically, I am trying to be intentional about becoming.  ("Becoming" is the expression I give to my quest to attain my fullest expression as His daughter).  ...but that has just been the problem... "I am trying to become"  Having th

Day One: One Good Turn Deserves Another

It feels so good to come back to writing,  especially for this series! The 40-day reflections have been the most intensive seasons of my writing life. It is beautiful to observe how in the beginning, the writings seem rusty and then as they days go by, they begin to flow freely.  After such a long break, I wouldn’t be surprised if this becomes the experience but hey, miracles happen every day! Praise the Lord! Today, I am sharing on kindness: There is this saying, “ One Good Turn Deserves Another ”, which in simple terms means:  if someone does you a favour, you should take the chance to repay it . If you live by this proverb, you may do good to others with the expectation that when it is your turn to be shown such kindness, it is reciprocated in an equal or greater measure.  I’m not sure that’s entirely a good posture for us as believers. I’m reminded of the piece of Scripture in which Jesus asks us to particularly do good to those we know will be unable to repay us
