             BEAUTIFUL CURSE

Genesis 3:19

By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; ...
--------------------------------------------
    My youngest sister in her holiday is funny. It turns out that she does more cooking at such times. And she complains a little bit. "Oh...am so tired of these routines. I have to go to the shopping center to collect ingredients and food. I have to rush back home and see the fire. I have to wash utensils and prepare materials to aid in cooking. Starting to cook am already tired. The food takes 'forever to boil' ohhh." She complains. It takes a long time to prepare a meal which when presented on table for consumption, it is just a while. The meal that took 4 hours of preparation from the time of start to the end is eaten in 10 minutes. It is like we spend more time working than the actual time we take to enjoy the results of our sweat.

Working the earths was a curse that God put onto Adam and his descendants. You cannot eat without having worked. However, there are things that grow in us as we embrace work and as we move through this curse. It is not a curse that is meant to make us toil and still have nothing on ground. It is also meant to help us grow. We feel more joy when we toil and see the results of our labour. 

 Work makes you better. The patience that the Lord is looking for in you comes when you face the realities of work. Handling different people in the field shapes you into the better leader that God desires. It is a tool that unleashes our inner man . It Unites us. We may have become Islands if everything we ever desired on earth is made available at our threshold .
It may take long to get results. Just like you will take time to cook food with proven recipes and get the desired results, your results will come. Anyone with a recipe can prepare the dish. Nature doesn't care what you are, whoever uses the recipes gets the results. It may take time just like cooking food for hours and eat the results in minutes. Success takes time as you sweat and pour blood but the enjoyment will come anyway. 
This curse has made minds lame in such a way that we are hungry for work. We are like machines that are hungry for inputs . That is why Idol minds become devil's workshops; that will keep too busy in gossip or wrong thoughts, or in slander. Attacking anyone who looks a good enemy for a fight. You like it or not, you are hungry to work and keep busy. The good news is that you can select what kind of way to keep you busy. The busy that makes you great and lifted to the level of life is what God wants.
    
                     GOD BLESS YOU

THE CREED AT THE THRONE

THE CREED AT THE THRONE   Psalms 40:1  I waited patiently for the Lord; he turned to me and heard my cry. -------------------------------------------- There are of course alot of times we pray for something and we feel we need that fast enough. And if am not mistaken , it is most of the times that we pray. We simply want answers right then. And some demand for the answers right away. But either way, you want God to come to your aid at the time you think He should come. But have you ever wondered why some people pray and receive their answers alittle fast compared to a similar prayer someone else had? Well that happens, you can pray and I pray the same thing yet we receive answers at different times.  With the scripture above, interpreting it may seem easy, but diving into it could seem a bit hard. The psalmist says, he patiently waited, then the Lord came to him and heard Him. The important note here is patiently waited. And secondly we see that the Lord comes...

OMNIPRESENT

OMNIPRESENT Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. -------------------------------------------- One trouble that sets the pace of all other troubles is the fact that we draw in our minds. We may move through this world . We may encounter various situations. We may encounter various people. And of course we may encounter various challenges. What sets the pace for great challenges is thinking you are in singular. When a house is built on a single pole, it makes the house vulnerable to winds and rains. But the house that is built on various poles and support gives its inhabitants confidence of being safe from any form of disturbances. Even in those days, when they used send us for oil at a near by shop in the night, we had very strong fears. Of course you had to request for a torch for a company that you imagine will protect you.... though it lightens the dark black. Even with the light, you still feel afraid. But when we were sent in a group, there is...

SIGNS IN THE KINGDOM

SIGNS IN THE KINGDOM   Galatians 5:22  But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. -------------------------------------------- When a man came to ask Jesus where they could find the kingdom of God, Jesus replied to Him,"the kingdom of God is in you." Well, what kingdom thrives in human bodies.? There is away that may seem narrow but it is a path to the greatness of God. The things that the kingdom of God entails on are ,but a light luggage. Even within scripture, Christ said that those who are heavy weighed should come to Him and he will give them rest. That let them take His yoke , for His is lighter and good to bear. It would be obvious for him to help by taking our burden and never giving us any. But we make a trade with Him. He takes ours and we take His. His yoke is light. His yoke is the kingdom your are supposed to carry. You are supposed t...
