Marching Triumphantly On!

Byadmin

Welcome to the third month of the year, the month of March!

This month, we march triumphantly. We march with strength and joy in the Lord! It is the time of arising, pursuing, overtaking and recovering all. This is the time to move strategically in the power of the Lord, not depending on the things we see or feel naturally. Rather, taking on the strength of the Lord, we move.

In this season, the joy of the Lord is our strength. The joy we have is not based on our circumstances or the environment. This is us being deliberately joyful, in spite of what we see. We need joy to move forward but if we are to consider what we are going through, it is anything but joyful. Therefore we will be limited in our accomplishments if we restrict ourselves to our own strength or our environment.

As we release the joy of the Lord, the Lord takes over, bringing us speed, alacrity and restoration beyond our expectations. In what strength do we pursue, overtake and recover all? It is in the strength of the Lord. When we are able to rise above our environment and release joy, we come to the realms of supernatural power where God takes over the process.

As I write this, I am preaching to myself as well. Many times, I tend to be sad due to what I see around me. The events that are demotivating, things that are not going the way I want. When I dwell on these things, I am discouraged and unable to make progress. It is like being weigjhed down, to such an extent that I can’t even think of anything positive to do. There is no point in being depressed over things that you have no control over. The thing to do is to give those issues to the One who has power over all things. The One and Only Omnipotent God.

When we pray and divert our eyes to Him (Psalm 121:1-2), He takes over! David said in 1 Chronicles 29 verse s 10 to 13,  that God reigns over all. Everything is subject to Him. He reigns supreme.

Having gone through the year 2020 with trepidation and fear, we must arise this year, knowing better what the Lord requires of us. We are not to sit back, licking our wounds, but to arise and go. While we are on the way, the Lord will show up for us in ways we have not anticipated.

So, in this month of March, do not be held back. March in March! If you have to grit your teeth and do it, do so. If you have to do it against your best thoughts, just do it. March forward. Go ahead! Rise up, pursue, overtake and recover all! This is your time.

Making History

ByKikelomo Kuponiyi

Now, eight months later, things are waking up again and I am grateful. I am grateful for the non-events that happened in the period. I call them non-events because they seem small, little, petty even; but deep in my heart I know, that they are important to laying the foundation of a new beginning which I am now stepping into. It is interesting how the foundation of a house is hidden, but without that foundation, the house could not stand. I think that is what has happened to me during this pandemic. My foundations were shaken and I spent the time rebuilding and repairing. I am glad I’m still here to continue the work!

Tenacity of our faith

Byadmin

Today, we, the children of Abraham are uncountable, innumerable, like the sand at the sea shore. All over the world, we exist. In the nooks and crannies of the world, we exist. And every moment there are being added to the church, such as are to be saved! 

So even if you were to count today, can you get them all? Between the time you start counting and the time you finish, there are being added, such as are to be saved, by the minute and by the second!!! To God be the glory!!!

I’m Getting Happy!

Byadmin

COVID-19 is still there. Like an irritant that refuses to go away. And there is still only so much I can do, but I am getting something done. I feel such a relief! I thought my life was over. It’s funny how people around me have been going about their normal business. I just couldn’t get myself together. Mind you, I tried. I avoided listening to the news, I kept my conversations positive. And yet.

Sadness & Joy – Part 1 (The Meeting)

Byadmin

He looked around to be sure everything was going well, before heading to his designated table to have dinner. The band leader chose that moment to change the beat and started playing a very upbeat tune, a mixture of afrobeat and pop, very African. Out of the corner of his eye, the captain noticed a couple at the next table get up to join the dancing couples on the floor. He did not pay much attention and continued with his meal. It had been like any other trip and he was glad that it was ending uneventfully, especially as his experience had taught him that anything could happen at sea. He had   learnt never to heave the sigh of relief until the last passenger had safely disembarked.

Spring Ahoy!

Byadmin

In these times of fear, sickness, and death, there is a tendency to focus on the events around us. It is not good news anywhere in the world. Those who are well are fearful of catching a highly contagious COVID-19. Those who are sick are fearful of death. It is not farfetched, for all around us, we hear of sickness, of death on a daily basis and in huge numbers. Every news media carries the sad news. You can hardly avoid it.

Once Upon A Time

Yet, people wake up and go to work. The markets are open. Churches are open. Humans are moving like robots and the sun rises and sets each day. Where are the people with seeing eyes and hearing ears? There is trouble in the land. It is a keg of gunpowder waiting for the slightest spark to explode. Where are you? What are you doing?
