Are you Willing to Change?

Will you choose to remain the same or make a change?

 26 “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” (Matthew 19:26) (NIV).

 Change is about making choices. Thinking of change or desiring to change will not generate change into your life. You have to choose to change. 
It requires a choice. Ask yourself where do I see myself in 2, 3, 4 years time? Will I be better than I am a year from now? Am I going to be more mature, healthier, or happier? Am I going to be like God wants me to be? These will only happen if you choose to make that change.

 Do you want to change your situation, your life or are you content with the way things are?

 Why do we think that God is instantly going to change us, we must have faith in him? He is waiting on you, for you to say that 'Yes, I am willing to make changes in my life Lord'.

 You may have tried to deal with a problem or situation and have failed. This isn't about trying, it's about seeing a transformation in your life by asking God to give you strength. You cannot expect growth without change because growth without change is like expecting snow to fall on a hot summers day.

 Jesus said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” (Matthew 19:26) (NIV).

 This statement announces that it is impossible to do things alone, you may think and try to, but it is Only with God that all things are possible. You have to let go of your old ways, be renewed and leave old habits behind, old patterns, old ways of thinking, and old hurts in your life. Don't go downhill because you haven't let go of these things. If you trust God then stand aside. God is faithful, there is nothing he can't do.

Prayer:
Dear God, help me to grow in faith; trusting you so that I can make the necessary changes in my life. Lord, I pray that these changes will remain, and I will not relapse and go back to the old me, those old habits and ways of thinking. Help me to not give up, to keep going. Although I know I can't control what is happening on the outside; things which are entirely out of my control, Lord, help me to control what is happening on the inside. God, help me to maintain so that any changes I make will be for the better, creating a better me. In Jesus' name. Amen!

The Season of Loss

How do you handle Loss? The Bible says, 8 " O my people, trust in him at all times.    Pour out your heart to him,  for God is our refuge". (Psalm 62: 8) (NLT).  As we face inevitable losses in life, we need to remember that we have the ability to pick up and put ourselves back together, and begin to get on with our lives once again. When we experience loss we may get these feelings: fear, depression, worry, guilt and anger. If these emotions are ignored, it may take longer to recover and move on from your grief. This is why it is healthy and okay to experience all these emotions, some people experience these emotions at once, others may be staggered. Everyone goes through them, in relation to Loss, no matter what they may say. People who deal with grief and pretend that everything is okay and that life can be lived as normal, will ultimately struggle with the stress of many emotions. This struggle can last for months or years and y ears to come. Jesus said, 4 "...

Conflict... Resolving conflict

How do you resolve conflict in your life? 15 " A gentle answer  turns away wrath,  but a harsh word stirs up anger."  (Proverbs 15:1) (NIV). Why is it that when someone gets angry we also get angry, when people raise or shout at us, we usually shout or raise our voice back at them. By mirroring their actions, you are allowing the situation to escalate ad get out of hand, soon it becomes too late. " When other people raise their voice, lower yours — in your marriage, in your parenting, in your friendships, and at work. That’s called strength under control." (Pastor Rick Warren). When you oppose to what someone has says, take a step back and reevaluate the situation for a brief moment, come back, and handle the situation in the best way. This could be done by simply walking away. This deescalates the anger. The Bible declares that, 4 " If your boss is angry at you, don’t quit!  A quiet spirit can overcome even great mistakes." ( Ecclesiastes 10:4) (NL...

Try it again... Try it With ME!

So many of us have attempted to do so many things ourselves but we have failed. The reason you failed when you attempted that thing is that you attempted it on your own. You didn't Consult or Discuss it with God first. You went along and did it by yourself, thinking that you could do it and achieve it by yourself, but you couldn't and Failed! This is where you successfully played yourself. Think of it like this. Making decisions without God in the centre or consulting Him for His help Support and Guidance are almost like speeding in a car without a seatbelt, at 170mph. Yes, you will get an exhilarating feeling, but you will eventually crash and realise that it was both silly and stupid to think that being in a speeding car without a seatbelt was safe, sensible, and the right thing to do. God wants you to take the back seat ! Let Him reveal to you His Amazing plans for your life. God is Greater than our plans. He is Greater than the decisions we make. He is Greater and G...
