"HE HEARS..."

I have had my share of struggles especially in my faith walk. There has been times i felt like God was not listening to me or maybe he has forgotten me. And its so amazing how God uses situation and circumstances to speak to us.

Isaiah 49 v 14: "But Zion said the Lord has forsaken me, the Lord has forgotten me".

Remember Zion is the place of the Lord's dwelling, (Psalm 9 v 11: "Sing praises to the Lord who dwells in Zion", Psalm 132 v 13: "For the Lord has chosen Zion, he desired it for his habitation") so i try to imagine the situation in Isaiah 49 v 14, a situation that seems like The Lord had forsaken Zion.
And yes, i identify with this passage a lot, as i have asked the same questions and felt the same way.

So here i was after a long day's work, so tired and in need of a good night rest. In the middle of a good deep sleep, i heard my son in another room call me in the middle of the the night and i remember waking up to the sound of a soft voice calling "mummy". The moment i woke up, i heard him again calling "mummy" and just at that same moment i heard a voice in my spirit tell me;
"Todun, if you can hear that from a deep sleep, I can hear you". And i broke down in tears as i walked to the other room in response to my son's call.

The Lord responded to Zion in Isaiah 49 v 15-16: "Can a mother forget the baby at her breast? and have no compassion for the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you. See, i have engraved you on the palms of my hands, your walls are ever before me".

I get tired, but God doesn't get tired.
I sleep, He never sleeps nor slumber.
I forget, He never forgets.
I am not forgotten, You are not forgotten.
God sure hears...

Yours in the walk...

OVERSHADOW

The word overshadow means to tower above or to cast a shadow over .  Its Christmas and it is important to take another look at the Christmas story. I have read this story in the bible so many times, but this year something struck me and that is the word "overshadow". Luke 1:26-38 is an account of Mary's encounter with an angel who told her she would conceive and bear a son, whose name shall be called Jesus and he will be great and will be called Son of The Most High. Mary then asked the question how all this events will take place because she was a virgin and the angel explained in  Luke 1: 35: "The Holy Spirit will come upon you and the power of The Most High will  overshadow  you. So the Holy One to be born will be called the Son of God" Now here is my understanding, when there is a purpose to be birth, when God is set to carry out an assignment through one of his own, to carry out HIS assignment and purpose which supersedes every human com...

HEAVENLY PLACES

I have just finished a bible study with the women's group from my church, we studied the book 'Armor of God ' by Priscilia Shirer. It was an interesting study and i had so many things to learn. An important lesson i learned from the bible study is about heavenly places which i am going to be sharing. I found this particular revelation very liberating for me and i pray it will be liberating for you as well. For me, there is something intimidating when the bible verse  Ephesians 6:12  is quoted  "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers, against powers of this dark world and against spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." Scary right? look at all the forces of darkness in one sentence :) I know the next thing people say is "God is one your side" "God is fighting your battles"... But there is an understanding that you need to have, You need to have an understanding...

Sorrowful to Surrender

It's Easter and i was pondering on Jesus's days before crucifixion and after resurrection, the journey from his time in Gethsemane to Galilee was something, a lot happened in those few days before his death to days after resurrection. What is our response in times of difficulty, grief, pain and suffering?  One important lesson from this study is that God meets us in our difficult seasons.  Let's start with Jesus' experience, Jesus in a state of grief before his death, he knew what was to come and he was overwhelmed with so much sorrow. Matthew‬ ‭26‬:‭37‬-‭38 ‬ ‭ “And He took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and He began to be sorrowful and deeply distressed. Then He said to them, “ My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch with Me. ” Imagine the soul being sorrowful even unto death, imagine the state of mind he was in? What was his response? He prayed! Not once, not twice but he went back 3 times praying until he returned fully surr...
