The Latest Success Story

“Vanity of vanities,” says the Preacher.
“Vanity of vanities! All [that is done without God’s guidance] is vanity [futile, meaningless—a wisp of smoke, a vapor that vanishes, merely chasing the wind].”

All things are wearisome and all words are frail;
Man cannot express it.
The eye is not satisfied with seeing,
Nor is the ear filled with hearing. Ecclesiastes 1: 2,8 (AMP)

The above Bible verses are the very words of King Solomon who saw everything done on earth in his lifetime and his conclusion is that all is vanity. He saw all the sides you can think of. 

14 I have seen all the works which have been done under the sun, and behold, all is vanity, a futile grasping and chasing after the wind. Ecclesiastes 1: 14 (AMP)

This thus, is a charge to chase things less and instead, chase God more, because only this will count after you are done here. God longs to be chased after, and you as a child of God should be responsible enough to go all out for your Father even more than you chase things that will only fade away. Things that will not stand the test of time. 

If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. 1 Corinthians 15:19(KJV)

I would like to ask where the first shoe you ever bought with your money is? Where are those new clothes that have now gone out of trend? Why did you let go of your first phone? I could go on and on, but the point here is, there is an emptiness in man that only intimacy with God can fill. God is love yes. God is Abba, yes. God is a provider, yes. God is a forgiver, yes. But God is also the king. The King of kings who has sent us as ambassadors to the earth. Jesus having washed us from our sins in His own blood has made us kings and priests unto our God.

Why remain a baby when you can become a king? I know you want to be relevant but the only sure relevance is with God. Why not take up your responsibility as a king sent from heaven? A king sent to fulfill purpose or you just want to chase things and then go back home with nothing? Think about it beloved. 

Day after day, the King of kings keeps calling. O! what a privilege! 
Why not draw closer and search for Him like your life depends on it, because, it actually does. God whose name is Jealous calls out to you daily! 

14 You must worship no other gods, for the Lord, whose very name is Jealous, is a God who is jealous about his relationship with you. Exodus 34:14 (NLT)

Build a relationship with your God my friend, forget momentary relevance, and remember you are not of this world...

Zoe's desire: Chapter 1

...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...

When You Cannot Trace God

Image
Ruth 1:1-22, Psalm 88:14, Ruth 4:13-17 Photo by Elijah Hiett No matter how comfortable you are in life a time will come when you really need that higher hand to save and help you. But when you reach out to this higher hand all you feel is, "Nothing".  You are met with silence that is deafening. It seems God is far away in another country.  You think you will never make it out alive because the trouble has overwhelmed you. You have become a write-off and have become a rejected.  You have prayed, cried, hoped, yet, Nothing is the response you get.  You want to give up. In situations like this when you cannot trace God, trust Him. Trusting Him at the place where you are right now puts pressure on His integrity. God says, I will never leave you nor forsake you.  You may not know what He is up to as everything in your life has come to a standstill. Keep your trust in Him. Just the same way a child trusts the father to be able to provide his needs, trust G...
