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..

WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF?

Before the novelty of the new year wears off Let me take time to welcome you to 2015 and wish you a great year.. I so love a new year,it is a constant reminder of the Kind of God we serve.. who gives us another opportunity To start again,dream again,run again..regardless of what May or may not have happened in the past year.. Permit me to take a slow ride down memory lane as I look back at the highlight of my year 2014... I must look back so that I can appreciate  from whence God has brought me and where he is taking me to. I must look back lest I take for granted all he has done for me. I must look back so when the enemy comes to lie to me that God hasn't been good I can count my blessings and make My boast in the Lord. 2years ago after the loss of my daughter I found out that there was a 50/50 chance that the next child I conceived  was also going to die. I remember the consultant looking at I and my husband with a very sad face as he told ...

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 l...

She would have been 6 today

She would have been 6 today.... I can only imagine... The feeling I felt when I held her for the 1st time... My first born child,Very surreal I couldn’t believe such a beautiful gift had been given to me. Little did I know that this gift would change my life, our lives forever. She would have been 6 today... As I look back on all that has happened this past 6years My heart is truly full of gratitude. That God chose to enrich our lives with this child That God chose to trust us with this experience I would never have thought in my wildest dreams as I shared the news of my pregnancy with my dear husband that summer of 2011, that months after her birth we would be confronted with news that our precious perfect gift from God had an incurable Genetic condition and that she was going to die. How do you process that... How do you get on your knees and trust God through that How do you still love and serve God in spite of this... How do you deal with the questions,rage,pain,h...
