Remember The Invitation

Greetings Brothers, and all those following this blog,

I trust all are well and life is treating you well. How many times have you been invited to some function, maybe a seminar, or even to attend a school reunion, and a day after it has passed, you remember but too late? It's done and dusted! You forgot about it because of your busy life, or maybe you never checked your diary that day or two before the specific event. That was a big mistake! Now regret you missed out and never caught up with folks you would've loved to have met and chatted with.

What about God? Let's first read a verse or two before we move on. It is found in John 14:16-17, and it goes like this ... "I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever..." Jesus was speaking here and He was speaking about a promise that the Holy Spirit would be with us after He ascended up into heaven. God the Holy Spirit is with us today as He was with them all after Jesus departed earth. He is our Helper, our Guide, our Protector, our Healer, and everything else God is to us.

Therefore, whenever you are in a brotherly Christian gathering, or maybe attending some meeting related to your faith, maybe a church meeting, remember the invitation - to invite your Helper to be amongst you during that time. Even at your workplace, or in the office or field, remember the invitation. make sure the Holy Spirit is with you, leading you on every minute of that day. Without Him chaos may ensue and what will that bring you? Nothing that is called a blessing. Right now, remember that invite before you make your next move or take your next step. Be blessed !!

When God Speaks

Greetings Brothers, and all who follow and read this Blog,

Life is truly a wonderful journey. Yes, we do have to go through storms and at other times we enjoy the beautiful sunshine and clear skies. That's life for you! Today I'm bringing you closer to God and how mighty He is. may this post change the way you think and react.

Are you in a management position at your work? Are you the owner of your own business? Maybe you are in a supervisory position, having some employees under your "command" and will. When you speak, do things happen? Do things happen even when they seem impossible? Can you command folks to follow your orders, obey you and believe in you, even when it sounds impossible, maybe a task to far out of normal arm's reach? Therefore, I would say this does not always happen.

What about God, when He speaks? Let's look at Isaiah 55:11, which states, "So also will be the word that I speak - it will not fail to do what I plan for it; it will do everything I send it to do." Wow! How beautiful and powerful is that! When God speaks He says clearly that whatever He says will happen. Who else as such power through words? Who else can speak and things WILL happen? I doubt we will see the impossible remain as such. The impossible is always possible because when God speaks it will take place.

His words go out to accomplish His purpose. God speaks! This means one thing for sure. We can rely and believe in everything He says. What He says is what He speaks out - and it will happen! Are you a believer and enjoy what He says, knowing that it will happen as spoken? Believe you me, what God says stays. Therefore, never doubt what He speaks or says. Just believe and never doubt! Enjoy the week ahead. Be blessed.

Strangest Commands

Greetings brothers, and sisters who follow my blog.

I trust your life is on the righteous path and pleasing to God. Today I'm speaking about things that are strange, even far fetched, but could happen. Imagine you arrive at the office or wherever, then you are told to do something which does not link to reality - it seems plain strange and awkward, and not befitting the time and place. What do you do? What do you say? I will definitely query the command from whomever it came from. I'll insist that it is way out of this world and cannot be done, or what will it be for or is it worth it.

Imagine you are told to build a shed next to your office. You ask "what for?" There is no purpose for this. Your manager or employer insists. maybe your wife asks you to build it near your office business premises. Again, "what for?" In the end you just do it, never minding the outcome. Then a few days/weeks later something happens and you suddenly realise it was all worth it; there was a purpose for it to be build. And here comes our loving God. He tells you to build something or to make something, but you are confused. Why? This has no meaning or purpose right here and now. You don't see anything coming from this. Instead of querying or questioning God, you just obey and do it.

Let's read 2 Kings 3:16. It goes like this - "Thus says the Lord, 'Make this valley full of trenches.'" And your reaction. What for Lord? This makes no sense. Still, because you are an obedient follower of our loving God, you obey and just do it. Then some time into the future you understand why He commanded you to do that specific task. A miracle! Then you see how God has been setting you up for a miracle or new chapter in your life. Now you see the bigger picture. Now you understand why He asked you to do just that.

Let's just obey His instructions, even when we don't understand it, and see what he is doing and planning for our lives. God knows exactly what He is doing. He is God! And we are not... Enjoy the journey and obey Him in every day things, especially when He "speaks" to you for something specific. Be blessed!
