Heal this Land - By whom and where

The Lord would like to heal our hearts and be there for us in every circumstance. His promise is that we, his children would prosper in Him. That our hearts would unite and bring joy to His heart. This is what God is doing, making us one. His hand is busy curing our heart from sickness of distrust and lack of integrity in relationship. He would give us the land in a sense then ask us to rule with him in peace.

We are now working with him to change the hope of every believer. This hope was made in the light of the gospel. See it’s hope that will cause a change in heart. The hope of God’s people, called by His name, coming together to love others is a notion we are familia with. This notion is not a sentiment to be dis-changed with another. It is the hope of God’s Word. “By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” (John 13:35 NIV)


Where the gift of God’s son to this world has shown us His love, he has also given his Spirit to dispel love of this world. See we are not alone in this struggle sin has bound us in. We are known by th
e Father who sent his Spirit to guide us into all truth. (John 16:13) The Spirit’s role is to encourage love to come forth. Out of this surrender to His will we are made one with each other. 


Now we are not alone in this walk either. He has placed people in our path who love as well. There is a voice in the wilderness crying out, make way for the Lord. (Mark 1:3) This call of the prophet John was one of fellowship, discipleship and family. Where the work is always one step in front of the other, there is a highway which the Lord prophesied in Isaiah that God would prepare for his people a way to Him. 


This is not only our heart for the nation to know God, though found in love this will come to be, it is also a call to purity in heart. The God given grace is that we should be found in Him, pure and holy, set apart for his good plan to use us to display his glory to the nation. We are now a priesthood of believers that are to set our sights on giving him glory through allowing our heart to be transformed. 


The reason we are made for love is our hearts are made in the likeness of God. As we are transformed into the very image of God our hearts unite and we are set apart for his purpose of reconciliation with each other and with Jesus. God gave us the role of bringing about a transformation in character and grace of God will give us this, an ability to call out what is. 


The peace God gives us as we bring the gospel to others in our land through His love is infinite and wise people seek Him for this. His glory will display through our life of love. His glory is to give our heart a place of rest in Him. This rest looks like love to others. This glory God gives us is that you and I will know Him in love of God. 


Let me conclude with this, a verse of praise. For God created the earth and everything in it. He created fish of the sea and birds of the air to praise Him. He made everything for its purpose of giving him glory and praise. Our hearts unite over this, our common call to worship him.

Found in the Arms of Grace

I was use to walking along the road with no one to guide me in which way I was to go. Now I see the way is a narrow road, not broad, that leads to life (John 7:13-14). I am able to see a piece of grace as a gift from God’s hand, not a limitation that restricts me from seeing his love. So I press forward toward the goal of receiving Christ as my inheritance. This I do, forget what is behind and press forward toward the heavenly calling we have in God’s son Jesus (Philippians 3:14).  For I was once lost in sin, unable to see, deaf from all the drowning noise of chaos and lost in my own pride of life. I thought I was alone because there was no one who could save me. Yet I was only dead due to a decision to forget who I as made to be. I am now in the light, not of life alone, but also of God’s grace. I leave my baggage of tormented soul to enter a new age of transformation. Like a butterfly I used to crawl, now I saw above the wind and lift up above the waves.  In the start o...

Favoured

Now the favour in your life will carry you so far. Where will it carry you? To love. Now love looks like something. Often love takes the form of submission to another and their will. Yet coming to know the one who made you is the first step in coming to favour that flows.  Rivers start with a trickle and end in a stream. The collective of so many droplets of water can cause the stream to bulge, bursting its banks. This bulging can be related to the formation of character in our soul. This soul flooded with love is favour again and again pouring through.  The first part of love is to see we are made in the image of God and then made for His glory. These two cement the first of which is grace upon grace then acting upon this revelation, we all seek the glory of God. So what is the power we seek? Is it just that we are to be known by Him and make Him known by love? Let’s look at this.  It’s profound that love can take us deeper into the foundation of the gospel. Love can fin...

Way Maker - Art of Letting Go and Allowing God to Secure your Life in Him

  Photo by  Osman Rana  on  Unsplash Words and fear have links that lead to going down the wrong path too easily. Where as we know that God can lead us into circumstances that prosper us and not harm our soul if we trust Him. This article is focusing on Him and our response to His way to gain fruitful interactions with others. Let’s explore this topic. First, I want to explore the topic of grace. Grace can take many forms. It has my hand, it takes my hand, I hold on to the grace of Him who makes a way. See I look for God’s grace and yet he extends it to me. I search for grace and yet it looks for my love. I open up myself to it yet I search only in Him I seek. Yet grace doesn’t over extend itself to me. I need to accept it and I have trouble if I don’t. So I conclude this paragraph saying I am not alone in this struggle to serve others. I seek Him to unveil my grace to others. Second, the topic of grace enables us to serve others in a way that give people a choic...
