A Chosen People


Colossians 3: 12
“Therefore, as God’s chosen people,
holy and dearly loved,
clothe yourselves with
compassion, kindness, 
humility, gentleness and patience.”

This year I am going to clothe myself with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. I am going to take charge of my thoughts, I will not allow my past to plague me as it did last year. I will not listen to negative people. I will look for the good in other people at all time. I will trust people to do the best they can at all time and give them the benefit of the doubt.

As a chosen people, I believe God has placed me on this earth for a reason, I need to find out what the reason is so that I don’t disappoint the Lord my God.

I will do my best job every day, I will read as much as I can and I will mentor people when I see an opportunity.

Do you feel that you have more to offer? Of course, we all have more to offer, let’s start with little things, picking up and going forward by the end of this year we will have accomplished so much. Perhaps you and I will conquer a fear that has been plaguing us and I believe it starts with the very first thought in the morning. “Good morning LORD.” I conquered all fear because I started my day right.

Prayer

LORD, thank You, for being there for me. Thank You, for always reminding me that I am Yours and that I belong to You. I am a chosen people, You have called me by name, I belong to You. I clothe myself today with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. I believe You are in control of my life, help me stay focused and I declare that the blood of Jesus Christ is a shield around me, I have supernatural favour with You as well as with people, in the Holy Name of Jesus I pray, Amen.

#never #destroyed

https://goo.gl/xK6bTg 2 Corinthians 4: 8-9AMP “We are pressured in every way [hedged in], but not crushed; perplexed [unsure of finding a way out], but not driven to despair; hunted down and persecuted, but not deserted [to stand alone]; struck down, but never destroyed;” I realized that my emotions are something that can cause me to feel pressure and hedged in. My circumstances seem impossible and I feel that there is no way I am going to make it. Then it’s time to check what is going on in your personal life.  Are you getting enough sleep? Are you eating properly? Do you take a break from time to time? If I don’t get enough sleep it seems despair is knocking at my door, and I feel miserable. I just cannot move forward, I want to curl up and died. Just because I am tired and there seems to be no way out. Emotions have a way of controlling each one of us. I realized that I will never be destroyed because there is a way forward.  God gave me common sense an...

You are a Blessing to me!

Working in a multiracial office is always interesting, and my story today is one about sharing and looking out for each other.    Our cleaning lady doesn’t earn much and I doubt even if they are paying her ‘mini mum wages’.   Nevertheless the people in our office know this and worry about her.    One of the young ladies decided to give her a newspaper with all the latest add in it.   As she paged through the paper she sat next to her and asked her ‘what do you like’.    Looking at the stuff on the page she pick out a couple of things that seemed impossible to own and said to this young girl.   I like this and I would love to have one of these. Without her knowledge the Human Resource division made a collection and they then assigned the task to the young lady to buy the things Judy wanted. We gave her, her gifts today.   I was amazed at her gratefulness, tears of joy running down her face and all she could say was “T...

The View from the Sycamore Tree

"Ill-gotten treasures have no lasting value, but righteousness delivers from death. The Lord does not let the righteous go hungry, but he thwarts the craving of the wicked. Lazy hands make for poverty, but diligent hands bring wealth." Proverbs 10:2–10 Reflection The Turning Point: I used to think that by this stage of my life. The path was already set in stone. I looked at the mirror and saw the silver hair and the lines of age. I felt as though I was simply watching the clock run out on my dreams. I’ve spent years in the "midlife crisis." Wrestling with the ghosts of regrets, careers that didn't flourish, relationships that felt the strain of time. The nagging fear of being "less than" in a world that prises youth and worldly success. But then I saw Zacchaeus. He was a man who had spent his life traveling in the wrong direction. Chasing "ill-gotten treasures" that left his soul hungry. When he climbed that tree, he wasn't just trying t...
