Expanding Horizons

God is expanding my horizons.....My life is in the hands of Jesus....



If you love Me... you'll obey Me If you pay attention to these laws and are careful to follow them, then the LORD your God will keep his covenant of love with you, as he swore to your forefathers


Deuteronomy 7:12








Oh how difficult it is to break the chains of your own desires and accept His........
Yeah I say chains....because it's as hard as binding yourself with chains.......
Today the Lord is asking me this question???If you love me,will you obey me???
That means submitting myself to His will.....Can I???With my strength...no Lord...
I need your strength Lord........
How true it is....when you come closer to God's holiness you realise you're own
wretchedness and worthlessness.........I don't mean condeming onself and getting
discouraged.....no way!!It's when a mere mortal has a glimpse of an immortal and
holy God.......one falls short of word's and strength.....
There are so many things that confuse you.......so many choices to be made......so
many sacrifices to be made..............Christian life can't be all God and nothing of me...
Sure I have to crucify my Self everyday!!!!You never realise how big a giant the self
can become if ignored.........The Lord wants my all today.........!!am I willing!!!!!!I end with
that....the spirit is willing but the body is weak.......So help me God!!!Amen......


I know after reading this you might be suprised.......yes my mom said something yesterday that touched me and I have to keep a record of it..........it was the first time.......She gave me the right to disobey her if God's plan differed from what she had told me to obey.......She challenged me to
tell God about everything,every decision I take.......It was a welcome change........I mean you know how it feels when you know when you're being trusted.........It's wonderful..........I thank God for a mother like mine........Her sacrifices for me despite my stubborness.......There are very
few times one does realise what blessings one has....I am only beginning to realise them........

Like the air you breathe,you don't realise it's importance until there's a lack of it........Such are my parents...........Thankyou God for giving me the best parents in the world........They may not be perfect but since you have placed me in this family....help me to be a blessing as long as I am there,not as a burden.........Amen......






There's not a friend like the lowly Jesus
No not one,no not one!
None else could heal all oue soul's diseases
No not one,no not one..

Jesus knows all about our struggles,
He will guide till the day is done;
There's not a friend like the lowly Jesus
No not one ,no not one!




There are times in your life when you feel you are stepping your foot on two boats,you're
standing at a fork in the road......Well I am going through one........it may seem strange but I
have realised that in some way this might be one of God's ways to command respect and loyalty
from His children.....I am beginning to think probably that's why there are these situations in
your life when you come in conflict with your wishes and God's plan........He understand's my
desires and He knows what's best for me........I hope I always find the strength to follow God's
wishes and plans even if I have to crucify mine.........Lord help me when I am weak!!!!!
Amen


He came to serve; let us walk as He walked. He asked them, "What were you arguing about on the road?" But they kept quiet because on the way they had argued about who was the greatest. Sitting down, Jesus called the Twelve and said, "If anyone wants to be first, he must be the very last, and the servant of all." Mark 9:33-35 NIV

Something that has been challenging me for quite sometime..........Living as Jesus lived..........Sure is tough.....impossible to do in one's own strength....something I've realised quite recently.........True humility is very difficult to attain by yourself and many times I've realised I've been fooling myself
and others........

I don't know much but I am beginning to experience the strength and the power of the Holy Spirit......It's so wonderful....... If the trickle is so delightful,the overflowing river will be indescribable......!!!!!
I want that Lord!!There is so much I have to learn......I wanna begin following Jesus at the age of 12!!!!That is by beginning to study the Word of God and submitting to the authority that God has placed in my life..........Help me Lord..........I stumble and forget so many times.........
In the midst of every thing,help me realise there's a lesson for me...............a correction,an encouragement,a humbling.........whatever it is..Lord.......You know me better than I do.......
Amen......


There are many times in our lives we don't realise why things happen they way they do.......

Yesterday I heard my grandma was ill and mom was so upset......I was worried but I prayed and I felt a peace that God is in control.......He really was .........We prayed for grandma as a church too.......N paise God....she was much better in the morning......n the most amazin thing is that she gave God the glory despite not being a believer...........these little things in life are the small but significant encouragements that God gives us..........As a believer I must see God's hand in all things,His purposes being fulfilled in all situations..........
Praise be to God.................who leads us in His triumph!!!!As a Christian we have nothing to lose......For in Christ we are more than conquerors!!!!!!May the will of God be fulfilled in our lives............






Well life does go on...but there are just those some things you can't help but feel grateful for..




Well.....my life has been a very happy one....happy childhood memories..oh those carefree times...paper-boats whenever it rained,hide and seek,adventure trips to the jungle(can't help have a hyper-active imagination...),church kids,playing basketball and honestly believing that I'd make it to the NBA some day,swimming lessons...........those indeed were the days.........

Where was God???Oh He was there....just there....you see....didn't feel much a need for Him during those days...they were happy...I'm sure you agree too....sure I was happy..........
Then *boom* came adolscence.....aren't we all excited to become "TEENAGERS"...I sure was..
Little did I know...I had grown up without even realizing it...........You see even though I was around a lot of people..i really never made close friends....or more precisely they used and ditched me.......didn't bother about that because I didn't realise the importance of close friends...
but adolscence sure opened my eyes.......For the first time in my life I saw..how lonely I was.......
Lemme tell you ....loneliness kills if you are someone like me...........N Jesus my best friend who was there right beside me right from the day i was born .........Knw wt I did to Him,I ditched Him!!!!

To cut a long story short......i'd just say.....I tried to run..like Jonah......run away.....but Jesus who died for me and purchased me ran ahead of me and held me in His saving arms..........I can't get enough of my Saviour's love.........He's teaching me so many things everyday....everyday with Jesus is beautiful......Friends or no-friends...........I found a best friend............I love you Jesus!!!!!
