#WisdomWednesday #God is the only one who can make a valley of trouble a door of #hope #Hosea

Hello

Thank you for stopping by at the final blog series of #SurvivorsMovement


This week’s #inspiration is based on the scripture below:



Obedience to the Word, can be a challenge, as my paradigms has been shaped by past experiences. Every day is very much a working process in my heart to become more Christ like rather than World like. Through God’s grace my heart started to soften against the inequities of others who had caused me pain. It’s impossible to live out the Word of God if I chose to hold on to these offenses. Keeping our hearts clean is the best defence against the enemy, when you are filled with love and peace, the Lord is your strength and joy. Christian life is no easy or quick fix to world problems, but it has widen my views from chasing personal and material gains to learning to suffer well and using my gift to play a part in changing the world. The abandonment from my own father has left a deep void. Once I have forgiven the parental failure and the fall out of this, my life changed. I was able to be more productive and live in the here and now.

The most important thing in a new life is knowing our Creator through his son Jesus. Whilst it doesn’t necessarily protect us against adversity. It does help us to be over-comers because God’s steadfast love heals, restores & renews for our broken souls to survive the unchangeable. He is the only one who can turn a mess into a message and our pain into our purpose. I never would have thought the abandonment from my own father, could turn into such a beautiful message. To read my story, link below and that my friend is the Good News of why ‘God is the only one who can make the valley of trouble a door of hope’-Hosea 2:15. The term father is no longer a source of contention but a source of comfort in spite of the categorical failure from my earthly father. 

Going back to the analogy of using my cup has suffered but through the grace of God, I survived. Following the Lord Jesus Christ and trusting him as my Lord and Saviour I have been able to rise above my circumstances and I am now flying to soar to make a difference and turn my pain into my purpose and I believe this is to be God’s intention in me playing my part in the solution and not the problem.

Highly Effective People Strives For Excellence

Hello I hope you enjoyed the last 2 special blog posts about Parentalk and Abuse. I felt it was important for me to use this platform to raise awareness on topics that could make a positive impact on future generations. This week is back to talking about life, inspiration, motivation and ideas-this post was actually inspired by a rather dysfunctional event. Every day we have many distractions, which can keep us from our destiny if we chose to be consumed by it.  Our dreams has to be bigger than our current reality to cause us not to sweat the smaller stuff and that involves letting some things or people go. The difference between effective and not-effective people is how we chose to channel it. Below is how (after the initial annoyance) I done it. Just to put this into context- the individual(s) concerns were unable to take accountability for their actions / errors, instead what I observed was a misuse of power and the slow demise of an outdated organisation. Enjoy...

A book review – Part One - Dealing with Disappointment by John Hindley

This book was a relatively easy read with the simple idea that leaves you to question: is life just one big disappointment?  In many ways it does seem so; the author delves into different areas of disappointment in our lives. I suspect most if not all are relatable to everyone. Firstly, the author says we actually should be disappointed by life, as things are not as good as they should be. We live in a frustrated and frustrating world; the frustration is because of the fallen world when sin entered humanity. We all carry this divinely inbuilt sense that the world should and could be better. The book goes on to say that on the other hand, we are sometimes too disappointed with life.  We expect satisfaction from other areas of lives to overcompensate for this.  When this satisfaction is denied, it starts an over-disappointed cycle. For example, I came across a thread where the mum wrote in and expressed disappointment in her children’s grades, which led her to ques...

A seemingly insignificant act has the potential to change the world...

I loved learning about the story of Reformation Day. The significance centres on how the Bible became accessible for everyone to read - historically the general public wasn’t allowed to read it, only priests or those considered anointed within the church were allowed to read it. The priests read the Bible in Latin, so for most people, it wasn’t even possible to read it. God’s word was entrusted into the hands of those in power, who were deemed qualified to understand it.  What the priests were teaching, was not actually in line with what the Bible said, as one monk, called Martin Luther found out. He started to read the Bible for himself out of pure frustration.  According to the teachings of the priests, believing in God seem to be just to be an endless set of rules and it left him feeling as if he could never be good enough for God. Little did he know at the time, he was about to birth a revolution that quite literally changed the world. This set him on a path of ...
