"They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever" Psalms 125:1 I woke up to reflect on this portion of Scripture... because of a major Milestone...
What God can do to our life when we trust Him.
Six years ago... marked a particularly very long turning point in my life.
I went through a very low moment in my life.. lost a job, lost a business, my beloved mother died 2021,as family we went through challenges, this storms knocked at my doors when I was totally broke-it was greatest test of my life.
I remember moving to Bungoma from Nairobi had secured a job , landed in the hands of terrible employer who did not pay me for the period i worked there a painful story for another day... When i secure that job i knew that my life was sorted.... Little did I know that I was walking into a storm that would shake my faith .
I chosen the hard choice of walking away after two grown ups were fighting in the studio and had to be peace maker separating them and the end of resolution i was the one blamed this drama made me to make the hard decision of leaving the company...and that hit me financially...in a hard way i moved without asking for a penny after working there for almost 2 years. COVID was a monster it affected me directly, i was "Laid off" from my permanent job at Royal Media Servives after the restrictions of movement and boom my business at Dagoreti market were demolished the same year,now back to zero. At that time I was facing consequences of a moment of challenges It was crisis after crisis, drama after drama... It was a nightmare season..
The following year my mother died,our mother Queen Elizabeth Endesha -General was a pillar in our family we miss her counsel -mother had special of gift of reming us how we are sleeping giants- she prayed with me and assured me things will bounce back.
I remember teaching on king Herod arresting Apostle Peter, after killing James in Acts 12..... When things start falling apart..you can think that the devil has done his worse...kumbe worse is still to come..that is why you should fight against any attack - however small it is...
Peter was released because the Christians decided to pray... unlike the case of James, where they remained silent, they said "enough is enough" and violently prayed for Peter..
Luke 24 and Matthew 28.... When Women decided to go to the Tomb of Jesus, yet they knew that they didn't have the strength to push the stone, and even deal with the Roman Soldiers... nevertheless, they still woke up to go... sleeping was not an option.. My thought today is about Parents who have no idea what to do...
Maybe your son or daughter has been called to University...and you have no idea pesa ita toka wapi.
Maybe, your bright child is top of Grade 9, and you have no idea what to do for Senior Secondary. Maybe mtoto ame itwa good College..and you have no idea what to do... Psalms 125 talks about being strong in Faith..
You can go through storms...
Storms brought by attacks from the enemy
Storms brought by your own actions......
Storms brought by change in Government Policy ....
Storms brought by collapsed business..........
Storms brought by riots and demos.........
Storms brought by being sacked...............
But one thing I can assure you is this God is Merciful God will see you through God will open doors in ways you can't understand.
God is faithful....
But you MUST have faith You must take steps of Faith
All people God helps have one thing in common fold their hands and accept defeat.... they said liwe liwalo....nita shinda...
My mother once said have faith never loose hope- refuse to give up
Even if you go through the Storm.... lift your up eyes...look beyond the Storm....do not be afraid...do not fear.... You will overcome God did it for me im building up on that Faith in God Kwhat He called me to do in my Generation...at my lowest moment, my lowest point...He can do it for you... even in your Lowest moment.
Sometimes you have to go through the pain to get to the purpose, through the weeping to get to the joy, through the struggle to get to the abundance. You keep being faithful and you’re going to see what God has been working on for generations. You’re going to come into houses that you didn’t build, vineyards that you didn’t plant, promotion that you didn’t deserve, mercy when you should have had judgment.
Go to God and not to people. Get your value, your worth, your approval from your Heavenly Father. If you’re trying to get this from people, you’ll be disappointed. People can let you down, people have issues, things they didn’t get. It’s easy to find fault, “Why wasn’t I raised better? Why won’t my spouse encourage me more? Why won’t my friend acknowledge my accomplishments? Why won’t they give me credit?” It’s almost like, “They owe me something. I’m expecting you to give me this.” A better way to live is, “Nobody owes me anything. My Heavenly Father takes care of me.” If not, we’re dependent on people to keep us happy, our spouse to cheer us up, our friend to make us feel valued. “This coworker needs to show me respect, so I’ll feel good about myself.” Let them off the hook. Quit going to people and start going to God.
"Stop Counting on People".
