THE MASTER IS COMING SERIES (Part 1 - familar problems)

Have you ever felt that God was taking a long time to answer a prayer or bring a promise to manifestation? Have you ever started the journey and begin to wonder if you heard God clearly because of contrary experiences? Have you ever felt like screaming at someone whose says to you ‘keeping praying’ because they don’t know how much you prayed? When the word in ‘God’s time’ begins to sound to you as never? 

A couple of years back, on a Saturday morning, I was moaning over a situation in my life for which I felt God should have sorted. Despite all the prayers and fasting, it felt as though things were getting worse instead of better. I was so sad I decided not to go to church the next day. What was the point! The next morning however I had a change of heart and decided to go to a parish of my church close to my house. In my mind, I wanted to go to a new place and avoid dealing with anyone I knew but little did I know that God had a different plan.

Service was great from when I got in and my spirit started to lift, when it was time for the word the preacher said and I paraphrase, “the Lord woke me up early this morning to pray about familiar problems. Familiar problems are those problems you have done all you know to do – prayed, fasted, even sowed seeds – but it appears God is not answering. He answered other prayers but this one seems to be mocking you. Don’t lose hope the Master is coming”. He went on to talk on case of Lazarus. I was so shocked I did not know when the tears began to flow.

God got my attention and it was now easier for me to hear Him speak. Over time, God began to expand to me on what it means to wait for the Master. In this series*, I will share with us some of the lessons and insights I gained on waiting for the master and hope you will be blessed...


* Given the length of time, the message is long and I will need to break in into series.

Greater than my experience.

The other day as I was returning from work, I made a stop at a shop. I had a couple of options on which way to take home but because I was in a hurry, I wanted to know the fastest way home. I decided to consult Google Maps on my phone. Do note that I have had positive experiences with Google Maps in the past, so I was open to go with its suggestion. To my greatest surprise though, it showed my fastest way home was through “Allen Avenue”. The first thought that came to my mind was 'My Google Maps is broken'. You wouldn’t blame me! Google Maps had never suggested Allen Avenue to me before at that time of the day and anyway, everyone knows that Allen Avenue traffic could be crazy during rush hour. I re-entered the destination, made sure the traffic update was on and it still suggested going through “Allen Avenue”.😱😱 As I sat in the car, debating what to do and which route to take since obviously my Google Maps was faulty, I heard clearly in my spirit, “ *This is how pe...

Lessons from the Parable of the Talent?

Happy New Year friends. It is already half of the first month of 2018😊 . May I ask, how are you holding up compared to your new year resolutions/goals/targets? On a second thought, I won’t ask, so that I don’t have to answer too😊 Back to the topic at hand😊 . I will like to share some insights I recently gained from the parable of the talents. I believe we are all familiar with this passage, but just in case you need a refresher, you can read the account Mathew 25:14 - 30 God has an ACCURATE estimation of our ability (vs15) and gives us talents accordingly . To put it differently, if you have got a talent, then you can fully leverage that talent and deliver good returns. The Bible tells us that before God formed in us in our mother’s womb, He knew us (Jer29:11) . Stop measuring yourself by the standard of men and saying I fall short. Saul was physically bigger than David. Imagine if David said to himself, if Saul can’t face Goliath, then I don’t stand a chance. Measure...

When Mercy Speaks

Oh my God… my worst nightmare has just come to pass or am I dreaming, yes indeed it is true… I hear their voices… I have been caught… but I thought I was been careful… I am not supposed to be caught… Oh my God… what’s happening… the shame... my family… they can’t stand the shame... God can you hear me now… I will be stoned to death… no one knows my story… no one cares really… the crowd is following and chanting profanity against me… they are justified… after all I was caught in the act… the very act… I deserve the punishment… oh the shame… the humiliation… I am in the temple waiting for my judgement. The law must hold, nothing or no one can upturn it now. The sooner this is over with, the better and I wish they did not have to take me before the new Rabbi, Jesus, I have heard vaguely about him, the one who works miracles, I truly need a miracle today, but then I don’t deserve one… I was still lost in my thoughts that I did not notice the silence, oh so silent it was deafening, but...
