WALK BLAMELESS BEFORE GOD

I was studying the story of Abraham today and it got me thinking. Before being named Abraham, he was just an ordinary man, born and raised in an ordinary family. What made him different was the fact that he walked blameless before God.  Then came his turning point, from being an ordinary man to an extra-ordinary man.
GENESIS 12:1-3
“ Now the Lord said to Abram, Go forth from your country, and from your relatives, and from your father’s house, to the land which I will show you; and I will make you a great nation, and I will bless you, and make your name great; and so you shall be a blessing; and I will bless those who bless you and the one who curses you, I will curse and in you all the families of the earth will be blessed.”
Our God has the power to transform our lives, to fulfill our hearts desires if only we walk blameless before him. Yes, the fact is we live in the world and at some point, we stumble and fall but our God is merciful. He does not abandon us. He fought and protected Abraham, his nephew was also saved from destruction at Sodom and Gomorrah because of him.
Dear brothers and sisters, if we walk before God and walk blameless, our family members will be saved, our households will be protected, and our generations will be prosperous.
How can we learn to walk blameless before God? You ask. Well, we can start by reading His word, Joshua 1:8 says that “This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it; for then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have success.”
So there you have it friends, you may not actually understand what God is saying to you through His word but with prayer and guidance from the Holy Spirit, things will start unfolding. As they say, a journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step. Let us join hands and keep each other in prayer and we will reach our destiny.

2 Kings 13:14-20a,                   14 When Elisha became sick with the illness of which he was to die, Joash the king of Israel came down to him and wept over him and said, "My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and its horsemen!"                   15 Elisha said to him, " Take a bow and arrow." So he took a bow and arrows.                   16 Then he said to the king of Israel, "Put your hand on the bow." And he put his hand on it, then Elisha laid his hands on the king's hands.                  17 He said, " Open the window toward the east, " and he opened it. Then Elisha said, "Shoot!"And he shot and he said, "The Lord's arrow of victory, even the arrow of victory over Arama; for you will defeat the Arameans at Aphek until you have destroyed them."                  18 Then he said, "Take the arrows," and he took them.

How was your childhood? How were you treated in your family? You may have had a great upbringing; loved, taken care, full of life and happy. I had a mixture of the two. I had a great life and a bad one at the same time. I have never known who my biological dad was; maybe I may never know him till my last day on earth. Being the first born in the family, this came with responsibilities. I was the care taker of my family. It was not an easy task. In the African culture, your siblings are your responsibility; you look after them like your mother does. Wash them, cook meals for them, and clean their clothes. In the village where I grew up, we had no washing machines, no gas, and no money to buy charcoal. Everything had to be done manually. I had not time to play. It was constant work, work and work. I thank God that I was a clever child, still am. I could understand all the lessons very well in class and I didn’t struggle even when it came to the exams. I remember one day, I was take

What role do you play in your child’s life?

I boarded a train to head to work this morning, being a Monday, it is expected that we tend to oversleep and hence not be able to make it to work in time if we choose the bus. For this reason, we were really full.   I opened my Bible and started reading from the book of John. I started from chapter 1. On completion, I got an insight to continue. In Chapter 2, Jesus performed his very first miracle. It was at a wedding in Galilee. To be precise, at a place called Cana. There was much celebrations and as we know, food is mostly accompanied with drinks.   Let me quote from the NIV Bible.   John Chapter 2:1-5 On the third day, a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there, and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. When the wine was gone, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no more wine.” “Dear woman, why do you involve me?” Jesus replied, “My time has not yet come.” His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.” The
