The Teachable Spirit 1

I used to think that in order for me to be fit to take up any task, I had to be fully prepared… I mean 100% prepared. As I sit in bed to reflect on this thought, I realise that this assumption is not 100% fact. I have come to realise that sometimes one is ‘prepared’ on the job. I reckon that the more you work/ practice/ do your given task, the more you become and mature into your duty. But one thing I was taught by the Great Teacher is this: It takes a person with a teachable spirit to be entrusted with such roles. Have you ever wondered why some people get jobs you feel they are not worthy of attaining or qualified for? The reason why some of these people get such mandates is because of the spirit they possess- the spirit that acknowledges its ignorance and thirsts for growth and knowledge; the spirit that is open to rebuke in order that they may attain their fullest potential. As you retire to bed this night I want you to reflect on this as you relate this post to y...

THE NAME OF JESUS

Something strange has been happening in my life lately... First of all, I must say that it is very true that following the path of Truth is not easy: the choice to remain on the path of integrity is not entirely pleasant- but very very necessary. Today I want to share what was laid unto my heart by the Holy Spirit... After I came to believe in Jesus Christ and the Trinity, I believed that by Grace, I could freely approach the Father. ....and yes, I can. But not without Jesus. In my requests, I would usually say what I needed and then end. For example, I would say, "Father, I really need shoes."  and then I would end. Truth is, I've done this quite a number of times. This night, whiles in the shower, I was asking myself why in my conversations with Daddy (God), I had to include "In the name of Jesus". I am not saying that my prayers have been without it, but in my communion with the Father, I had sometimes overlooked the essence of this inclusion in our...

BARRIERS TO LOVING

My life has been something else. Through it all, God has been faithful to me. Then I understood that as the BRIDEGROOM, that is His very nature. He will never ever ever stop pursuing me until He wins my heart over. His Love for me is unchanging. If it did, then He would cease being God. He would be like man who changes every time. I, on the other hand, was scared to love. I am not talking about falling in love with a man for a lifelong relationship that leads to marriage and beyond. I am referring to my initial inability to let go of my defenses to show genuine love to others because I feared that they would throw my love back in my face. I was scared of maybe being vulnerable and pouring out the very depths of my heart out to serve them. Not because I didn't want to, but because I feared rejection. Today, I watched a Christian documentary titled FURIOUS LOVE. I realised that indeed, the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty through God, for the pulling down...

BEFORE YOU SAY YES

Hello, I know it has been a while. I have missed sharing life with you. In these few days of absence, ideas for us to ponder on have not stopped flooding my mind. BEFORE YOU SAY YES... I know a lot of us have purposed in our hearts to surrender our youth and time to God's will and to allow him to mold us into who He has destined us to be. Sometimes, it gets tough. We want to wait on God's very best for us in all things and especially in the area of our heart. Nonetheless, our personal goals do not necessarily influence the pressures of this world in the least. I want to encourage you as I am being encouraged by the Holy Spirit: Would you abruptly halt the formation process Our Father is working out in your life for that one person who keeps pushing you to say a yes? Think about it. You may say no, but your actions may have already said a big YES! God is Faithful . I won't stop saying it. This decision you have made will sometimes feel like a very wrong one......
