GODLY SEEDS



We have looked forward to this day for a while. My son will always say "mummy am so excited for camp" and I tell him "I know, you have said it like a hundred times". The Christian kids camp is for kids ages 5 and up and Jomi just became eligible to attend this year.
I cried, oh I cried, not at the fact that I was dropping my son at the Christian kids camp for the first time,  not at the realization that he was growing so fast and he will be in camp for a week... well maybe that...


But as these children were coming into the camp, trying to find their groups and parents were ensuring that their children were settled in, I saw the hunger and the eagerness to receive from God and it dawned on me...Godly parenting is an action word!
You have to be deliberate in teaching them God's word, in their daily confessions, in shaping them into women and men after God's heart. It is not enough to just pray for them, you must be active in their spiritual growth.

We all want our children to be physically healthy, well much more attention should be paid to their spiritual health. ‭‭
Malachi‬ ‭2:15a ‭NIV "Has not the one God made you? You belong to him in body and spirit. And what does the one God seek? Godly offspring.”
‬‬God seeks Godly offspring, be deliberate about you and your children's spiritual growth, the enemy is on the prowl, if he doesn't get you, he will want to come for your offspring.
 Look at Revelations 12:17NIV
“Then the dragon was enraged at the woman and went off to wage war against the rest of her offspring—those who keep God’s commands and hold fast their testimony about Jesus.”
‭‭As our children are on long vacation and summer breaks make this your call and responsibility, plant those seeds, be deliberate and hand them over fully to God and He will take care of the rest.

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...
