God still does mighty things.

God is still doing mighty things.

I love that I am actually saying this. I write this as my reality, my definition of God in my reality.

 This year 2020 has really been a difficult year for the world at large because of the COVID-19 pandemic. EVERY single person had to have a lifestyle change in some way or the other. Worst still, many lost their lives, which is so saddening. But what does God expect of us in this season? Something that is not so in order with the human reasoning, which is ‘thanksgiving’

 1Thes5:18 says- ‘In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.’

 I am really just thankful for the good, the not so good and everything In-between.

 I am so much grateful for the possibilities that God gave me to crown up this year. This last quarter of the year is really when I have come to know God in an amazing way.

Basically, my story is like that of the three Hebrew boys in ….Dan.3:16-18. who were desirous of staying on Gods side but were pressured to go on the side of the king of Babylon. They were resolute on only one option; God shows or we die here.

 Dan.3:16-18

16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter.

17 If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king.

18 But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.

 

Amazingly, God showed up for them, not when they were talking, not when they were being thrown inside but when they got right into the fire. This resulted in the king and the whole nation submitting to the almighty God.

I don’t know what you are going through or desiring from God, but I want you to know today that God can show up in a manner that’s so different from what you would have imagined, and thats what makes him God. Scripture says God’s ways are not our ways and His thoughts are not like our thoughts (Isaiah.55:8). So, please keep the faith, trust the Lord, and take the right actions you know to do. Also, commit your steps/ways unto the Lord.

Scripture says commit your plans unto him and He will establish your path.(Pr.16:3, Pr.37:5)

Submitting our ways to God allows us to easily obey when He interjects our plans or decides to take us through a different route.

He knows all the paths dear son/daughter of God

 

God still does mighty things.

 

Yours in the Lord,

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...

#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...

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...
