Zoe's desire: Chapter 1

Image
...What things soever ye desire... As the human body has many members, so does the body of Christ. To be appointed by God to fulfill purpose is a privilege. As every product has a purpose, so is every believer. Discovering our purpose should be our priority in life. The purpose of salt, for example, is to add taste. If it cannot achieve this, the bin will be its final resting place. For some product, a repair may be initiated so it can fulfill its primary function. In like manner, we have different purpose in God and fulfilling that purpose should be our primary focus because every other thing is secondary.   But many a time, we choose to go the other way, the way of our personal purpose. We plan to achieve these purposes even at the detriment of our souls. We do not care. We damn the consequences. We forget that God wants to give us every good thing. We forget that he wants to give us everything we desire.   Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye...

Master over chaos

Image
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth  Genesis 1:1 Photo by Thomas Kinto The Webster dictionary defines chaos as a state of utter confusion.  Sometimes you plan something out very carefully, thoughtfully, with contingency plans in place, yet it doesn't go your way. You are thrown into confusion without knowing the next step to take. You would start again if you could but everything seems so hopeless and directionless, you wonder if things will ever get better... There is chaos everywhere you turn. Your life may look like chaos right now, it may seem without direction, scattered and disorganised but I bring to you the good news of the Master over chaos. The good news of the Holy Spirit of God.  And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters  Genesis 1:2 Out of nothing He created something. Out of chaos He brought order.  When man fell he seem...

A Reassurance not to worry

Image
"Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it"  1 Thessalonians 5:24. Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof Matthew 6:34. Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness Isaiah 41:10. 17 When the poor and needy seek water, and there is none, and their tongue faileth for thirst, I the LORD will hear them, I the God of Israel will not forsake them  Isaiah 41:17. 18 I will open rivers in high places, and fountains in the midst of the valleys: I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water Isaiah 41:18 19 I will plant in the wilderness the cedar, the shittah tree, and the myrtle, and the oil tree; I will set in the desert the fir tree, and the pine, and the box tree together Isaiah 41:19. Have...

Scars for His glory

Image
Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I entrust my life. Psalms 143:8 NIV Life is not a bed of roses, they say.  In life, hurt and pain seem to be inevitable.  After the hurt we are left in pain, pain that sometimes heal without leaving a scar other times, the pain goes away but we are left with the scar as a reminder. Like a designer's dress, at the beginning it is cut into several pieces and it looks like there is no hope for these pieces. The pieces may be disjointed for a long time but when the dress is finished you get something beautiful out of so many scarred parts. The dress may have seen and hidden seams that remind you of where the joinings happened but now they no longer matter because they all make up one beautiful dress. There is someone I know who has seen it all and I bring to you the reassurance that He has got your back no matter where you are now in life or the...

At the school gate

Image
It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD. Lamentations 3:26 Sometime ago I passed by a primary school and saw parents waiting outside the gate and soon the bell rang then I saw children being led by their teachers to stand at the gate. No child could go until he/she saw the parent. I saw parents waving for their children to see they were there to take them home and I could see so much delight in the children's eyes when they saw their parents and likewise the parents.  Most times waiting is for our own good. Moving when God has not come could be detrimental. But when He comes, joy is inevitable. The delay won't matter. He makes up for everything in an instant. All the anxiousness ends when He comes.  In your mind's eye, why not stand at the gate like a child waiting for his parents and watch God come for you and just so you know, as a perfect God, He is already at the gate waving at you. Why not go where you can see ...

When they all go

I know of one who never lets go He loves with reckless abandon I took the wings of the morning and dwelt in the uttermost part of the sea Even there he found me Night is light to me because of him His thoughts towards me, precious! I am no longer scared of falling  Falling counts with him He is always right there to catch me Oh my Jealous one You stay even when I get distracted and leave  You wait patiently for my return Oh what faith you have in an undeserving me You meet me half way Your kind of love I will never find elsewhere I'd rather spend a day with You Than a thousand years without You Fairest of them all My Beloved The Most Beautiful What manner of love You have bestowed I can and will always count on You My eggs in one basket with You  My Refuge My Husband  My Essence My Mindful one My Promise Keeper I have fallen for You LORD  And I will fall a Billion miles for You Unashamedly in love I am with You LORD  I know You have got me You p...
