JERICHO PRINCIPLE

HA...today I remembered what my dear friend Ko and I called the "Jericho principle"

sometimes I really feel like shouting...I don't mean the fancy hoot we ladies let out..I mean a real loud shout...well I am not going to yell out before my neighbours call the police, but even if it means me shouting under my pillow...I will shout...

I will shout at every situation that has made me cry,
I will shout at those times when I felt inadequate, unloved, ashamed and alone
I will shout at every doctor's report that is inconsistent with Gods word
I  will shout at every bank statement that has had a zero balance in it
I will shout at every wall, every mountain, every challenge that has told me I can't
when God has said I can...
I will shout at every negative voice that has spoken concerning my destiny and future..
I will shout at every door that has closed against me...
I will look failure in the eyes and shout at IT.


It takes great faith to shout....
It takes faith to shout at that zero balance ,at that failing marriage, jobless state, doctor's report, childlessness, prolonged singlehood, you name it.
I remember the children of Israel......Joshua In Joshua 6:16 said to them "SHOUT FOR THE LORD HAS GIVEN YOU THE CITY"
To shout means to praise through, to sing and dance even with no music playing, to raise your voice and proclaim victory even with the walls(JERICHO) still standing...
It might not look like anything is changing or happening, but keep at it, Just like the children of Israel marched 7 times round their challenge, it looked silly at first, no result after 5 times but they carried on. In the end with a loud shout they had their victory....keep praising, keep shouting and chanting your victory...It doesn't matter what anybody thinks,hold on to God's promise,

Don't give up dear Child. .SHOUT, SHOUT,  SHOUT UNTIL THE WALLS CRUMBLE.
Getting my pillows ready..................It is time to SHOUT!!!.

My Case Is Different...

Shutting my eyes I can vividly remember every time someone has tried to discourage me from launching out or dreaming big based on someone else's experience or failure... sometimes it has been said unconsciously,without even thinking... The moment you mention your intention and desires,there is always someone who is ready with an example of someone else's story... Who says I have to apply 10 times before I get a visa to a foreign country Who says I have to have a god-father before I get that dream job Who says I have to attend 5 interviews and receive 5 rejections before I get the job Who says I have to wait and wait,fall into wrong hands and then learn from my mistakes before I eventually  find my prince charming.. Who says I have to have connections to get ahead in life... My case is different... I am not a statistic...my case is different The fact that it happened to 4 or 6 people you know doesn't mean it would happen to me my case is

I AM NOT DEAD YET

I am not much of the gardening type as much as I love flowers and pot plants, It takes quite a bit of an effort for me to give the flowers and pot plants in my front yard the attention they deserve... but I must admit they add such beauty and charm to my front yard. lately I have just been too pre-occupied with all that has been happening in my life and around me to even notice that I have plants to feed and nurture.. 2 weeks ago I noticed that they had all withered and the leaves were dry,brittle and falling,especially with the summer.. I sighed in regret..if only I wasn't too consumed with myself maybe my lovely front yard would have been preserved. I gave up,maybe it was too late to salvage the situation. I might just try I said to myself and see what difference it makes.. I set out a couple of days ago to water the plants...I had just a small bowl of water.. and as I went back inside to get more water..I got distracted and never got round to fully watering the

THANKSGIVING..

I have never had to struggle for want of what to write but I have literally spent the past minutes just staring at my screen.... where do I start from is the issue at hand How do I compress the faithfulness of GOD to me in just a post...hmmmm.. I turn 28 today..yet it seems I have been here longer.. I marvel at the quality and the richness of my life.. The wealth of experience and all that God has invested in me... For all his many blessings,For his favour and his Presence  Lord for all these and more..I say thank you I woke up today with gratitude,with a heart full of praise...God has been Good to me.. I take a walk down memory lane and I go back 15 years  to a time when I first accepted Jesus. What I am most grateful for is this decision I made to follow hard after JESUS A lot of times I failed Him,strayed away,messed up,blew my chances But His mercy never ceased and  I kept seeking and running after him.. I have come a long way 15 years later,I still love the lord r
