Knowing about who you know

Its common knowledge that if a person wants to get anything done or one needs a favour, its depends on who you know. A lot of job interviews are mere formalities, a shadow of what really entails because in most cases, people who know people in such places have a good chance of getting picked especially when the people they are connected to are big people either in the establishment or in the country.
The word says that God's name is The Almighty, the Holy One of Israel, the God of the whole earth. Wow! Have you ever realised that you know the person who determines all things and who makes the whole earth his foot stool. You don't just know him from far off, he's your father and friend and he's just a prayer away.
Always remember who you know, its more important than any frail human being who can fail.
Always remember that he is the Sovereign one and when he opens a door, no one can shut it; not even the president of any country you can think of. no matter how powerful they may seem to have, all power belongs to God and he gives his to whosoever he chooses and he has chosen you. Rejoice and be at rest. Don't worry about how tomorrow will be because all things will work out for your Good because you are on God's side.

Getting ready for the harvest

Have you ever heard anyone throwing a graduation party when he hasn't even written second semester exams? You will definitely think that the person is crazy. When I went for my internship interview, there were some girls that came for the interview who we realised were still students and just came for the experience. I was surprised and wondered what on earth they were thinking of. I knew that when I was in their shoes, I was thinking of how to pass my exams and become a doctor not getting experience for housejob interviews. The bible says that the just shall live by faith. He also describes God as he who calls things that are not as though they were. In Isaiah when the children of Israel were still in captivity, he asked them to 'Sing unto God and shout for joy. Enlarge the place of your tent, make your tents large, spread out and think big, no holding back...'. There's something about stepping out in faith and making a move based on Gods promises. Throw a party like you've seen what you are expecting. Start rejoicing and thanking God daily for his blessing even if your present reality is saying something else. God is faithful, if he says enlarge the place of your tent, he means it and he's ready to supply you with an abundance which your current capacity cannot contain. Trust in God and obey whatever he's telling you today. The harvest will surely come and you need capacity to contain it.

promises

Even if the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, God's unfailing love for me will not be shaken nor his covenant of peace be removed says God

DONT STOP

Jesus said 'I will never leave you nor forsake you'. The word also says 'I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me'.
Next time you feel like stopping, remember that you have someone who is there to strengthen you. Ask him to help you finish strong, because at the end of the race of life it's going to be about those who finished strong not those who started strong!
DON'T STOP!!!

thoughts

there's nothing like having peace from knowing God and knowing that it's well with tomorrow
