“Give an account of yourself to God.”

Romans 14: 12 AMP

“So then, each of us will give an account of himself to God.”

I get so irritated when I know someone is shirking their responsibilities. Posing the quest "why haven't you done this?" Their response is "I do not know."

The sad part is they keep on getting away with "I do not know." It makes me angry but then I read that we all are going to give an account of our own lives to God.

I have also noticed that when in a tight spot this person will start blaming the next person. I was under the impression that so and so, was going to do this and that. When in fact it was this person's job.

How do I deal with them? Well, I do get angry and try and make them do whatever but it rarely works. They manage to get out of this position. I believe they are good at manipulating the matter and me for one.

Taking responsibility for their actions is not something they deal with. In the end, I will do whatever or someone else does. I seem to be fighting a losing battle.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, Lord You know who I am referring to in this blog. Today I want to take responsibility for my own actions. Yes, I know when I am in the wrong and I realise You are in control over my life and will show me the way forward. I have been in this position for lack of responsibility and also lack of doing my best job always. Please forgive me and help me move forward in Jesus Christ name. 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...

Help Me Stay True in Giving God His Tithe

Can I be real with you for a minute? Tithing is something I wrestle with. I try my best to be faithful, giving to the best of my ability. But let's be honest, sometimes I look around and see others who seem to be blessed in ways I'm not. They have this financial ease, this "caliber" of blessing, that can feel a world away from my own reality. And in those moments of doubt, a quiet, gentle voice reminds me: I am blessed. God does provide. He has come through for me more times than I can count, often in ways I didn't even see until later. He's always there, picking me up when I've lost it and guiding me when I'm blind to the path. My heart is so grateful for that. But my thinking still needs work. My human nature kicks in and whispers, "I earned this. I worked for this salary." It’s a constant battle to get my heart aligned with the truth. And the truth is found in verses like this: “A tithe of everything from the land, whether grain from the ...
