2021

Whoohoo!!!

Happy new year folks, it's been God for us, it's been God for us. 

The past year's been an interesting one; intersecting dramas, events and what nots. If nothing else, it's reiterated the fact that time waits for no one and nothing's written in stone. It's also drummed home the fact that while we scurry around making our plans, ultimately, it's God who does bring them into fruition. It also reminded me of how frail and vulnerable man really is and that, we're all doing life together. That we're all connected whether we like it or not as what affects one, affects all. 

Save, save, save, emergencies don't announce themselves and strive to have multiple streams of income. I'm still looking at how to go about this, God helping me.

These are a few lessons the past year's drummed into my ears.

That said, welcome to the new year. I pray it lives up to our expectations. 

Peace

A Personal Word

This morning, something happened that made me laugh and at the same time, shake head for myself and at the same time, gave me great insight. It had to do with condiments that remained from my cooking stew session–pepper and onions. I had left them in a plate in the open air so they don't spoil easily. 

You might ask, your fridge nko? Well, I asked myself that question too. Until last two weeks, I didn't have one so it was easy to forget that I now had a preservation system and took my normal route of preservation. The night before, I had already started contemplating whether or not to steam them since they were not going to be put to use anytime soon.

So, where's this my 'is and was' speech leading to? Well, when this happened what dropped in my mind was that as believers, this is is what we do too. When we enter into God's kingdom, we've been completely saved and the old things have passed, but we forget that. We forget that we've come into power and authority and carry on living like we used to.

We forget that the kingdom life’s entirely different from the self life. We keep struggling and forget to rely on His strength. We keep doing things the usual way forgetting that Christ's made things easier for us. Labouring under the law and forgetting that we're now operating in grace.

So, that was what popped into my mind seeing those pepper and onion lying there shrivelling while all the while, they could have been chilling in the fridge, perfectly been preserved.

May the good Lord help us.

Peace.
