Daniel

Daniel is one of my favorite characters in the bible and I will be sharing something interesting about him today.
Something about his life in Babylon that I think, at some point or the other, we all find ourselves there. So often, we tend to desire a change in our physical state when heaven desires a change of our inward state.

Israel, God's favorite, wyas taken into captivity. Daniel and 3 other Kingdom crazy guys were a part of them and  their decision not to eat the kings meal was an epic one.

These Hebrew young men had begun to do alot of exploits in the land of Babylon.  As at chapter 6,they had
1-Grown to be chubbier and freshly looking than those who chose to eat the kings meal
2-They had prayed in agreement not just to know but interpret the Kings dream
3- Daniel had been promoted into been a leader together with his friends
4- They had proved beyond a doubt to the King Nebuchadnezzar that God in heaven was God above all.
And much more things.
It's interesting that even at this point, nothing was mentioned about Daniel and his friends praying for them to come out of captivity.  He seemed to understand that his location did or does not stop exploits.
We can get so quick to pray ourselves out of a place that God may be intending to build us and showcase his supremacy to the world.

Just incase you have been exhausting yourself over your situation, i put it to you to pause and begin finding out what it is you are there for.  Find out how you could glean from that situation. Prayer; maybe pray about something else but that situation thats not pleasant. You can never go wrong with thanksgiving.  You can ask God to open your eyes, make impressions on your heart about things you could do to fluorish,regardless of the situation of things.


****if this blessed you in any way, please share it with others.

Do have a lovely week ahead.

Peace.

The Black Bag

Running over from the end of the class where I was sitting to my course mate,I sat on the chair next to him as I placed his school bag on my legs. Staring at the bag for a while,I said, precious Holy Spirit please teach me a lesson from this bag. It was a black leather-like bag with patches on the side(some parts of the bag peeled off). As I starred at the bag I asked my course mate-How old is this bag? He said to me,its about a year old. Its amazing how people tend to defend their actions even before you make your comment(He was already giving me reasons the bag looked that old/tattered). I discovered the bag was too good to be that tattered at less than one year. That was the lesson right there: There are people who are strong and passionate,vibrant and active,with so much beauty radiating from their inside out. But then situations in life may rise up,some beyond human control,some at the mercy of human that could make someone as good as that black leather bag become so tattered li...

FOCUS N or P

I’m sure you are wondering by now, what does focus N or P mean? Yeah,its worth the think. I’m sure you are familiar with the way a camera works, at least to some extent. The android phone/iPhone users can own this complement. You’ld often realize that some pictures don’t come out ‘fine’ or clear because whoever was behind the phone did not focus it right. Having seen the picture, you be like ‘omg this picture is blurry’. How many have friends who take blurry pictures (winks.)- this is by the way.(I do that sometimes). Youl’d realize that one or two taps on your android phone makes the image much clearer. For my photographer folks, a gentle turn of that Nickon D3300’s focus ring  and or zoom ring would give a perfect picture.  Just like a camera can produce both positive and negative images, so also our minds, based on our focus. In Numbers 13:30-31, Caleb and Joshua happen to bring back a good report as compared to the report of the other representati...

#misfit

Attachments area Preview attachment IMG4F8C It was one of those days in September (2015). I had this outfit on to class. I sure did feel good and confident in it :) . I'm getting to class and couple of my group mate are amazed! (that expression between shock and cool). Yeah! I've never really dressed in that kind of style before. .... As I walked down the street,I actually did think about people been surprised at my outfit for the day. But then,I thought,this may not be my conventional style but someone will see me and get very comfortable been his/herself. Why?- someone else can resonate with their style.That alone gave me some more confidence with every step I took. Every other person is classy and elegant but you are bohemian  Every other person is corporate but you are casual Everyone seems to have it all figured out but you are lost. Everyone seems to be short but you are tall Everyone seems to be doing life big but you can't st...
