At the scent of water

"For there is hope for a tree,
If it is cut down, that it will sprout again,
And that its tender shoots will not cease.
8 Though its root may grow old in the earth,
And its stump may die in the ground,
9 Yet at the scent of water it will bud
And bring forth branches like a plant." Job 14:7-9

Water is life, water brings hope.

I immediately went to my almost dying plants with little hope and began to water it. After a few minutes, i thought i saw some difference but i wasn't so sure. An hour later, i walked back out to check and there it was! The almost dying leaves were alive again! Hope springs!

A lot of times, we tend to focus on bearing fruits that we forget that the fruits will grow if the plant is consistently watered. We ask questions about why the business is not growing, why the fruits are not out yet, why its taking so long, but the truth is most times we don't consistently water that desire for growth.

What is that thing you are trusting God for? What is that business or vision that seems to be taking so long? What is that seed sown that seems to be dying? Water it! Water it consistently and watch light break forth and fruits grow.

Watering is an action word. You water with the word of God and prayers and taking actionable God guided steps. Don't loose hope, don't lose faith, water it and watch it come alive at the scent of water!

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...

The Prodigals

I’m sure we’ve heard about one of the popular stories of the Bible- The Prodigal Son. When that story is read or told, there is the tendency to see just the prodigal son; The one who demanded his inheritance prematurely, squandered it all in wild living, and came crawling back in shame. And the part that moves us most is his gracious welcome : a father running toward him, arms wide open, heart already forgiven.. Luke 15:11-32 A few years ago, I heard a new perspective—one that reframed the parable in a powerful way. It was about the Prodigal Father . Inspired by Timothy Keller’s book The Prodigal God , this view suggests another “reckless” person in the story— the father shedding light on God's reckless Love for us. . You see, the word prodigal doesn’t mean “rebellious” or “wayward.” It means recklessly extravagant, wastefully lavish. The younger son was prodigal in how he handled his wealth. But the father? He was prodigal in how he gave his love. Lavish. Undeserved. Unc...
