What Are You Standing On?

A few minutes ago I was ministering to university students at our biggest campus in the country, and while I was at it, God arrested my spirit concerning the things I was sharing! Immediately I knew I had to document this encounter and this experience with God. And share with you!

Isa 60:1-2 Arise, shine; For your light has come! And the glory of the LORD is risen upon you. In this season I believe God wants every area of our lives to arise. Every dead thing in our life, our love for him, our devotion to Him, our hunger for righteousness, our fruit, He wants it to arise to a place which can be seen to reveal His glory in us. He wants you to shine, and nothing shines in secret! Your obedience in the secret place will result in elevation in the public eye, and God will shine His glory through you. This is no time not to shine, in and through Him.

The part that I got arrested is “For your light has come”. This light is not the physical light. It is the illumination of the word of God in our hearts and in our lives. We know that the entrance of His word brings light, so it is the revealed word of God that will cause us to arise and to shine in His glory. For God’s word to be shine in and through us, we must have an unusual devotion to it. God’s word is his thoughts, and his strategy for us to arise and shine in the areas that He has called us in.
Outside of the guarantees and the promise and the revelation of His word in our hearts we will not stand the test when it comes. When the rain, the floods and the winds of life come your way, in different forms, it is the foundation of the revealed word of God in your hear that will make you stand. I’ve had a fair share of these, and it is the word of God that has sustained me.

Ps 33:11 The counsel of the LORD stands forever, The plans of His heart to all generations. If you want your God given vision to stand, then you must stand on the counsel of God, because it stands forever. What are you standing on?

I’ll close with the words of a song sung by Brooke Frazer, “None But Jesus”: “Now I live to bring Him praise…I am yours and you are mine…All delight is in you Lord, all of my hope, all of my strength, forevermore.”

Bless you, and I await your feedback.

In His Grip,
Tuscanie.

Voice of Truth

The Voice of Truth
As you continue on your journey you will realize that there are many voices that seek to get your attention on a daily basis. These voices are all calling your name, and sometimes when they do, you’ll need the grace of God! As you carry on in this good fight of faith, learn to hear the Voice of Truth.

When Elijah was on the mountain, the mountain shook, and God was not in it. The winds blew hard and The Lord was not in it. There was even a fire on the mountain, but still God was not in it. Finally, God spoke in a still small voice (1 Kings 19.11). In your life, there will be plenty of these voices, and none of them are without significance to some degree. Yours is to learn to hear the Voice of Truth.

It’s the voice of truth that feeds your faith, it’s the voice of truth that gives you courage in the face of a giant situation; it’s the voice of God. You learn to identify this voice by spending time with the One who speaks with this voice. Through prayer, in meditating on His word (Josh 1.8), and in associating with those who believe and love to hear this voice.

When a mother hears her baby cry in the midst of other babes, she will quicly identify the voice because she spends all the quality time with her baby. The bible says that My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me (John 10:27-28). NIV

Be blessed as you learn to hear the voice of Truth.

Blessings,

Don't Give Up Or Give In!

Greetings to you from Harare, Zimbabwe!

As you might have already seen, it’s been a few months since my last posting on my Blog site! I set a goal to begin share my life path and lessons with others through this blog tool, I did two posts and I got out of routine. Well, a great man once said "it is easy to obtain, hard to maintain.” It's always easier to set goals, but it takes perseverance to keep pursuing what you set out for in the first place. Well, I am back to blogging because I am determined to achieve my goal to record and share my life lessons with others! One of my favorite verses is "Prov 24:16 for though a righteous man falls seven times, he rises again. I am deciding to give this another go!

And you? What have stopped doing that you had set yourself to do? Perhaps now is the time to pick yourself up and try again, don't quit! I learnt early in life that I must remain true to my vision or goal, yet remain flexible on the approach. Consider shifting your approach to your goal if it’s not working, but don't stop trying! It's never too late to be who you might become. 

Well, a lot has happened that I look forward to sharing with you. I will appreciate all your comments and insights! That's it from me for now. As you enter this brand new year, remember to pursue your goals relentlessly! Don't Give Up Or Give In!

Take Action: Step Out of Your Comfort Zone

A week ago I wrote about how I took action on a goal that I have had for a while, to share my life lessons through recording them and posting them, hence the inception of this blog site! Well, I have continued to take action on other goals of mine that I will share about today.

This weekend, I did something for the first time in a very long time. I got an opportunity to act in a short production for a young adult’s ministry that I am part of. I play the main character of a guy who is trying to settle in a relationship with another young lady and he keeps getting distracted by his former relationships. Some of the scenes where really cozy and they tool me out my comfort zone! There is hardly any growth if you stick to your comfort zone. What areas are you still in your comfort zone, what area do you need to step out of your comfort zone to go to the next level in your life?

Perhaps you need resolve a dispute, or may be confront a situation; or you need to step out and act on your idea, or your goal. Whatever it is that you need to step out of your comfort zone, take the action and realize your reward for your action!

Take action on that idea, you have a better chance of experiencing a great reward that way! Remember, faith without action is dead! Keep well.

Take Some Action

Imagine a life lived without any recording! All the experiences and life lessons will be locked in you and will never benefit anyone but you. Well, I've decided to record my life for a long time and today I have taken action towards that decision.

"How I am Becoming" is the theme title for my blog, I believe that the stories in these blogs will be the history of how I became on the outside, who I am today on the inside. I will discuss my life steps and experiences and draw out principles that we can discuss together with your contributions, agreements, disagreements and questions.

This will be a platform of sharpening each other and growing in excellence. Well, I have taken action towards my goal to record and share my life experience of how I became. What action do you need to take towards realizing one of your goals?

I look forward to hearing from you!
