Have you ever wonder why certain things happen? Especially things that are very unexpected –both good and bad. Some of these things, we don’t even have an explanation for them, we don’t get to understand until they have run their course. I’ve come to understand that as much as we may not understand everything going on in our lives, there is a writer behind the scripts of our lives who has the pen writing a story.          Moses in the bible had an interesting childhood. He was born in a period when the king was against firsts born male children. I’m wondering: Why would God even allow an innocent child to be born in this period of time?   Good for him, he had a good mother who kept him. However, the pressure was high and he had to be let in to the river for fate to determine the next course of his life. Fortunately, he’s picked up by the daughter of the same king who planned to kill him. It’s interesting that the same house from wh...

Often times God will require us to step down from certain things we engage ourselves in so that we can step up to what he has for us in the present(moment). Saul of Tarsus lived a certain kind of life where he persecuted Christians and one day Jesus had to stop him. It’s interesting that he actually went to get a letter of permission to continue his work against Christians in Damascus. I will tag this one of the minor things he stepped up to. His major goal was to persecuted the Christians. As God would have it, Jesus appeared to him and it’s interesting that he did not just recognize that Jesus was Lord even before Jesus introduced himself but they (Jesus and Saul) also has a conversation. This points to the fact that it doesn’t matter how distant you have been from God, he can speak to you and you can speak back to him. In Act.9:6, Saul asked Jesus ‘…Lord, what wilt thou have me do?’   Saul was ready to sign up for what Jesus would have him do. At some point as he an...

Often times we are busy with one thing or the other and sometimes feel less accomplished(fulfilled).   I (beg to say) that sometimes it’s because there are somethings that we have taken up responsibility for that we really shouldn’t. Somethings that are not exactly as important as what we were really made for. Some of the time we actually know these things that we aren’t meant to be living in at the moment. They are not necessarily ‘bad’ or negative in the real sense but definitely would slow you down from progressing in your course. If you don’t step down from them, they’ll keep you from stepping up to the life you are meant to live. The life that brings fullness and satisfaction. I believe that God desires for us to live full lives, however there are decisions we have to make and stick to in order to experience the fullness of life God has for us. The children of Eli in the bible had several things they were involved with but in the midst of all these they failed in doi...
