what ever would be would be! HUH really?

"Que sera, sera
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours to see
Que sera, sera
What will be, will be"

A couple of days ago I found myself singing this
very popular song..and it got me thinking..

 Is it really true that what ever would be would be.. just like that...

The more I thought about it...a particular man in scripture dropped in my spirit
The man crippled from birth by the pool of Bethesda...(Jn 5:1-9)
He sat by this pool day in day out and thought to himself,
whatever would be would be....I would be whole again one day
and with that mentality he sat there and watched people jumping in
every time the water stirred and they got healed..
but he....HE sat waiting...what would be would be....
I do not make light the fact that he had limitations,
I do not deny that he had issues preventing him from getting to
the pool,after all he had no one to help
Genuine excuse you might say..
but what about the other infirm people around..

How many of us are expecting change in 2014 and yet we are
not prepared to do anything different..we are sitting in one spot
wishing,hoping,praying that change comes
 yet we have a what would be would be mentality..
We forget that we have our own part to play...
Some times it doesn't have to be anything major
the slightest change can make a big difference..

We know the man was crippled but he could
at least have wriggled his bottom...a little here,a little there
he would have moved an inch closer to the pool each day..
but no he sat waiting.... what would be would be...

This year...I come against this what would be would be mentality...
I receive strength to back my faith with actions...
In as much as God has his part to play..I also have mine
What would be..won't be until
someone stands up and makes it happen...

 We know the One who owns the future and he is able to
lead us into all truths..
He is able to open our eyes to see..and as far as our eyes can see
God is able to do unto us.

Enough with the excuses...I don't have any one to help
I don't have the right opportunities..
I don't have this I don't have that...
That job won't fall on your lap from heaven..
The promotion won't come,If you have not developed
enough capacity for a promotion
your marriage won't work if you just fold your
arms and wish...
There is work to be done...

Ask yourself...what do I need to do differently to get a better
result this year..
Wishful thinking won't get us any where..
lets make the best with what we have...
and God would do the rest...

May God help us all in Jesus Name
AMEN..

Who is your father?

Who is your father? I remember the first time I travelled to my village without my parents I must have been in primary school and my dearest grandmother of blessed memory insisted my parents brought me over for the weekend. Village life really and truly intrigued me, I loved the simplicity of communal living and how content everyone seemed, food was eaten fresh from the farms, with the large itigidi river providing fresh fish and water, and in the evenings, a dozen children would gather in my granny’s living room to watch a DVD, what was there not to like, for a child living in the city and raised overseas, village life was exciting, refreshing and alluring. That was the first of many visits, the older i got,  my grandmother became the most influential woman in my life, especially as I had lost my mother at age 14. She was wise, inspiring and I picked up my literary prowess from her as she and my mum piqued my interest in books. She would make me write letters to her and...

Are you taking notes?

  Are you taking notes? I am so excited, something is brewing…but I cannot aptly describe it; I know without a shadow of a doubt that something is about to happen. I am so pumped about my future and what God is doing and as I look ahead, I cannot help but reminisce for we cannot truly appreciate how far we have come until we look back. Today I had a flashback to a season of my life where I was overlooked, underrated, and written off. I was that girl with nothing going on for her, I could walk into a room and not be noticed, not because I wasn’t beautiful, attractive or good looking but because when people looked at me in that season, all they could see was what had happened to me. What had happened to me? I had failed and repeated a year in university, I was the assistant class rep that year and I had to be replaced. Oh!  the disgrace and shame I felt, every bit of confidence I had in myself was knocked down. I still remember the silence and hushed tones when s...

THIS TOO SHALL PASS

Oh no, it was actually real, the scene that had just flashed before me wasn't from the contagion movie. It was actually real. Somebody pinch me! News , mayhem, panic buying, fear mongering, social distancing,self-isolation unimaginable loss of lives, truncation of businesses, and untold hardship for many. I caught myself as a wave of fear washed over me, what is the meaning of all of this, what must I do, what is God saying? As I pondered, I could hear very clearly in my spirit these words: "This too shall pass "and almost immediately an unexplainable peace and confidence in a God who is bigger than my fears and still In control settled me. How are you doing child of God? Are you troubled, worried, tired,afraid or overwhelmed? Rest in the assurance of God's word and His love. Amidst all the fear and uncertainty be reminded that God is sovereign.  Amidst all the pain and the loss be assured that God is present, to comfort and to restore. ...
