From Wilderness to Promised Land

Would you believe if i said that they needed just above 11 days minimum to reach from the wilderness to the promised land? Well it blew my fuse when i first read that cause we know it was neither 11 days, 11 months nor 11 years but 38 years that took them to be out of that wilderness.

Duetronomy 1:2  "It takes eleven days to go from Horeb to Kadesh Barnea by the Mount Seir road."

We can see God asked Moses to send some spies over to Cannan so that they could see what the Land was holding for them and bring back A REPORT.

 17 When Moses sent them to explore Canaan, he said, “Go up through the Negev and on into the hill country.

18 See what the land is like and whether the people who live there are strong or
weak, few or many. 

19 What kind of land do they live in? Is it good or bad? What kind of towns do they live in? Are they unwalled or fortified? 

20 How is the soil? Is it fertile or poor? Are there trees in it or not? Do your best to bring back some of the fruit of the land.” (It was the season for the first ripe grapes.)

Here we see what Moses want the 12 spies to do. that is just to evaluate the promise God had for them, rather be encouraged of what the promise holds for them, more importantly influence people as thier tribe leaders encouraging them and uplifting them

But when they came back to the Israelite they brought back with them not just the fruit but fear and negativity. They not only did bring with them what was asked (A good report, an encouraging report) but also that which blinded the promise of god, they discouraged the people.
We have been promised by God great things, but often do we too consider on the impossibilities of it and worry and succumb to the fear of failure?

Later as we read, because they were not willing to trust in the sufficiency of God they did not make it to Cannan, we see a plague was borugh upon them by god, the whole Generation except for
Joshua and Caleb who brought back news of prosperity died in those 38 years, it was the unbelief and rebellion that caused them thier life in a journey which would well have not taken even 1/10 of the 38 years.

What really matters in life is not how difficult your promised land, or prosperity looks, but how you go about it. Are we goin to look onto it in unbelief ? Are we going to complain? Are we going to say how impossible it looks ? For when God has promised somethin he has already done all the permutations and combinations to that in your life ! All you need to do is trust him.

Look back into your life and see for yourself how he had brought you through many a situations of impossibilities. The same God lives even today, so stop worrying your journey through wilderness and start letting that good report encourage you and your fellow believers.

God Bless.

The Bumble bee's got a story to tell

I have always liked bumble bees not sure why though. was it the name that sounded a pinch cute or was it for the cartoons that showed adorable yellow and black stripped buzzing buddies.

But do you know that scientist say "Bumble bees cant fly or are not suitable for flight" ? Wikipedia reads as follows "the laws of aerodynamics prove that the bumblebee should be incapable of flight, as it does not have the capacity (in terms of wing size or beats per second) to achieve flight with the degree of wing loading necessary." I am no aviation engineer or aeronautic fanatic but it simply says YOU CANT FLY !


Then how do they achieve this feat ? It is simply cause they dont BUY it or perhaps they needed to prove someone wrong.

Draw inspiration from these. . People might say that you dont have what it takes to be him/her but you certainly got the right things to prove him or her wrong. Dont buy opinions that people give. live life the way God has planned it out for you.

Science says Bumble bees can't fly but Bumble bee says Science is not that which rules me or set constraints for me !!

FACT : Aerodynamically calculating , the bumble bee cant fly,
TRUTH: the bumble bee doesn't know it so it goes on flying anyway.
LEARN: Dwell not on what people say you cant do ! Do it cause you know yourself the best next to God alone knows and made the calculations for you

A prayer unanswered ?

 I am not sure what outweighs a prayer. Is it the expectation and faith for the prayer to be answered or recognition of a father who does things and knows what is best for us? Sometimes we have so much expectation in prayer that at times an unanswered prayer tears us down. Is it because we really dont believe deep within that everything that happens does happen because God allows it ?

Would we need prayers to be answered even if it is not God's will? I still search within if i have prayed a prayer that way ? Was it wrong ?

When we pray we pray cause we need it to be answered. What do you do when it does not happen ? Question God  and throw ourself into a pit of doubt and neagitivity? Or try to take comfort in the fact that God allowed it to happen ? 


Sometimes its better to trust that to expect.

We prayed much, did all we could yet the outcome was not what one could hope for. Its hard to comfort and much truth is no man or woman can comfort a loss of someone so dear.

How things of future are going to be can not be said. But you can decide with whom the things of future must reside.

I pray that the comforthing presence and providence of God will strengthen each and every heart.

One can never really choose to hold on to what God has given.Sometimes life is short and when it winds down have you made that one chance count ? the chance to smile and make a difference ! the chance to forgive !

I would probably turn back to this entry just to remind myself of how important every second of our life is.We need to trust in God and take things as it comes to us not questioning the author but trusting in the perfector.

“God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.”

God bless

Oops i got a blog that snoozed

 Seems like 3 months went zoooooommmmin thru and i dont have a blog update !! uhmmm guess i am Looking forward to the next year already ! Novembers winding down and soon December will give way to Jan 2011. Well thats lot in the future already. Dont ask me why my Blog always notches to faith ! But i like to keep it that way and not any different this time another thought that caught between my ears.

"Want something for the Next Year !! then you gotta start sowing for it  ! "


You can look to the image on the right and say " Oh boy ! thats how i am now . :( " . But then lemme just pull out one more line for ya .

"The harvest of your seed is the answer to your need"

You might not know what to do yet. But then if you desire for something go out on that field and start putting in your seeds of faith. Having a blessed year starts by proclaiming and blessing a year . You got a big DADDY who knows the game. So put your faith suit on and saddle up.

There is no other way. It's gotta be the way of faith and the walk of faith. This walk encompasses both the inward sphere of man and the outward actions of man. Everything in our being and our life is involved. The receiving and using of faith utilizes the complete man – spirit, soul, and body. All of the attributes of God and man are brought to bear in the attaining of the precious ‘substance’ called faith.

Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1

… so that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ;… 1Peter 1:7

There are no shortcuts, no manipulations, and no excuses. There is no place for hiding or denial. All is exposed to the Word of God and to the Spirit of God.

For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. Hebrews 4:12

God is a growth God. He demands that we grow, and we grow by growing the Word of God in our hearts, and then exhibiting that Word in our walks. Using the analogy that Jesus used in the Sermon on the Mount we could say that, “We must become salt and then we must act like salt, if we do not, then we are no good to anybody.”

This journey may at first look daunting, but do not lose heart, it is easier than it looks, for “His yoke is easy and His burden is light.” (Matthew 11:30) The hardest part is just doing it. Take the Word of God concerning what you need, plant it in your heart and grow your answer. Start planting the Word of God concerning your needs today. Start growing what you need today so you will have it tomorrow. Do something, however small. The harvest of your seed is the answer to your need, and harvests do not come without planting.

“The sower went to sow.” psshhhh I am talking bout you and moi .

Have a blessed year . God bless .

Power of Prayer

For some yesterday the 30/03/2010 was just one day that went by .. and if not for what i have to say .. it would have been the same for me as well .. But i am thankful it was not so .. God had different plans for that Tuesday. a plan of hope for my darkness .. over the last couple of weeks i was so tormented deep down.. fighting a battle of hope .. Didn't know whom to share things with rather didn't want to share what i was going through to the anyone in the world.. On 29/03.2010 unplanned, someway, somehow i found some time in an usual conversation with mom and somehow my worries just came out from my mouth . Not that i felt any better sharing it with others for i had caved it all deep in myself .. prob like a turtle in its shell .. Its true that a mothers knows a sons heart and i know as she would sleep all she would do is pray for me all night long. i felt helpless but to let go but in all i knew My God was ALL KNOWING and held onto his promises . i went to bed thinking over all i had done for him in my life . praying and saying it out to God that i needed some sign because i found things getting difficult . i was lying down but i couldn't sleep .As time went by my brother came and slept beside .he brushed my hair probably cause he thought i was sleeping. I liked it like many do and didnt want him to stop . after a while i could hear him weeping .. i didn't turn to him cause i couldn't face him .. I knew those were tears of prayers. soon my heart was even more burdened and i felt so torn in knowing he was worried for me . tears ran down my cheek and i offered my cries to Jesus .I dont know when i slept .. all i knew was finding it difficult to find words to frame a prayer .. all i did was lay it down before God .. 

Yesterday i recieved two calls for interview . one from the company that said "Sorry we selected another " they wanted to invite me for a second interview and another for an organization that will be a dream for anyone..nothing is yet clear and laid down ..But i am sure its God who worked amidst all the impossibilites to open a door of hope . I dont know how much more i must thank God .. But trust me folks when you are on the verge of losing hope still dont give up .. Because its God who framed time and he holds you up when you have given all you have to him .. Prayer is something that words cant define its a source to tap in to the outer realm .. So dont give up even if your body and mind says to ... find strength in God
