Obey God in your relationships

Jesus said that the person who HEARS and DOES His Word, is the one who has built on a rock. That is the house that will STAND when the storm comes. If all you do is hear but not do God's Word, your house will come down during the storm.

Don't be surprised if your build your relationship and marriage ignoring God's Word and then it all begins to come crumbling down. Don't ask "Why God why?". It's not God's fault. He has given us His Word to guide and protect us. Be safe and be smart, obey God in your relationship now!

Barikiweni. Have a lovely and productive week.

Did God really say?

When satan cannot get you to reject or forget God's Word, he will try to get you confused about your interpretation it. It's the oldest trick in the book.

"Did God really say...." That is what he said to Eve and then convinced her that eating the forbidden fruit wasn't such a big deal at all. He convinced her that she had misunderstood God and was making a big deal out of nothing. Humanity regrets that decision to date.

Did God really say that you shouldn't bribe? - What if it's the only way?
Did God really say that you cannot kill? - But abortion is kind to the mother.
Did God really say that you shouldn't fornicate? - But love is of God and love is good.
Did God really say that you shouldn't commit adultery? - But what if their spouse is mean to them and you are their true soul mate?
Did God really say that you should never forsake assembling with brethren in worship? - But what if members of your church are all fake and you are busy.
Did God really say that you shouldn't criticize and judge? - But what if it's a man of God who is cheating people. Surely you need to post about it.
Did God really say that homosexuality is sin and will lead to judgement? - But doesn't that make you cruel and intolerant?

The enemy will even use scripture to confuse you or to contradict other things that God has said. Remember, he tried this on Jesus during the temptation. What lie have you believed to the point of making excuses against what God has said? That is the cunning of the enemy and if you are not discerning, you will slowly accommodate what God hates and condemn yourself to judgement. Don't do it!

In Jesus' Name, you are wise.

God's light will put you ahead in life.

In the beginning, God said "Light be" and there was LIGHT on the FIRST day of creation. But the sun, moon, stars and other natural heavenly bodies were created on day FOUR of creation. [Genesis 1]

There's supernaural light, insight, wisdom and knowledge that supercedes natural light. If u always wait until u can see evidence with your natural eyes, you will be late, you will lag behind and be slow in life .

God is Light and the Spirit of God in you will lead you into things before they become obvious and apparent to everyone. Listen to Him. He will show you things to come before they happenn; to warn you and to bless you. Through thoughts, unctions, ideas, dreams, visions, prophecy, and many other avenues .
Spend time with Him and follow His leading in 2017 and you will thrive. But remember, His leading will never conradict His Word. Check everything against scripture first and then, take action.

Barikiweni.

THE ANNIVERSARY OF MY FATHER'S DEATH.

On Christmas Eve 2011, my father fell ill in the morning and by 9pm, he was dead. My sis in law had traveled to meet him for the first time that day, and by the time they arrived, he was gone. It was devastating. I went into shock and couldn't eat for about 3 days. The grief was heart rending, especially because it was so sudden and so unexpected.

On Christmas Eve 2012, I had to be intentional about celebrating Christmas and not allow myself to be pulled down by the grief of the year before. I called mum just to tell her that I loved her and was thinking about her and praying for her. We talked about that Christmas Eve in 2011 as we remembered all that happened.

Fast forward to Christmas Eve 2013, 2 days ago. It hit me, at some point in the night that it was the anniversary of dads death. I had actually forgotten and was quite excitedly anticipating Christmas. I hastily called mum just to love on her and comfort her on the anniversary of her hubby's passing. She was busy doing her stuff and going on with life and SHE HAD FORGOTTEN!! Can you imagine? I was the one who kinda reminded her why I was calling. It hadn't occurred to either of us. We talked about it for a few minutes and then spoke about so many other things. There was no pain, no sadness, just glad to be celebrating another Christmas. We now can talk about dad and laugh. We remember the funny and interesting things he did and said and are so thankful for all the good that he brought into our lives.

The moral behind this story: There is no pain that exists, that God cannot heal. When a loved one passes, instead of focusing and grieving about the day of their death, celebrate and be thankful instead for all the years that they lived. You do not prove love and loyalty to that person by living in continued grief and sadness but by God's grace, moving on with strength and hope even as you hold dear their memory.

God has healed us. We are o.k. today and my prayer for you FB friend is that you experience His healing too in your life. May you allow God to heal the pains, disappointments and bitterness of the past and to free you to enjoy life again. As long as you are still here, there is still so much good to come your way. May that painful past become a vague memory. May your prison doors be open and may you truly live again. He has done it for me, He will do it for you if you let Him.

Ps 30:11 You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; You have put off my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness...

Barikiweni!

REMEMBER: CHRISTMAS IS NOT YOUR BIRTHDAY!

One revelation that completely changed my life many years ago, was the realization that CHRISTMAS IS NOT MY BIRTHDAY!

I got over the hang-ups of stressing about who will buy ME a gift, who will invite ME for a party, who will send ME a card, what will WE cook, How will I make MY hair, what will WE wear...

It is a proven fact that most suicides and depressions peak at Christmas time. People get very introspective, lonely and self focused in a way that can be very detrimental at this time. The financial pressure is extreme for many and broken family relationships are also highlighted as everyone else seems to go home to be with their families. Be wise and remove the rampant selfishness from your Christmas celebrations. Also, don't allow yourself to be wooed and trapped into the mindless spending that gets many regretting and seriously struggling through the month of January.

Use this time instead to love others. You be the one giving and reaching out. Spend time with those you love. Really listen to them and be an encouragement. Don't just focus on food and stuff. This way, you will not be lonely or stressed because your focus is on being a blessing. In fact if you know Bible History very well, you probably know that it's not even Christ's accurate birthday. A lot of the hullabaloo is simply commercial. Turn it around and maximize being there and ministering the love of God to your family and friends.

Barikiweni!

THE END OF THE YEAR!

The end of a matter is better than the beginning. - Ecclesiastes 7:8

May this final month of the year be better than the rest that you have had. Instead of resigning and simply looking forward to another year, keep expecting good things and answers to prayer, to manifest within this year. It's not over, till it's over. May every blessing, every open door, every opportunity, every divine connection, every harvest, every advantage and every progress that you were to experience this year manifest NOW in Jesus' name.

May God crown your year with His goodness and cause your paths to drip with abundance - Ps 65:11
