NOT LUCKY. I'M LOVED


It is very easy and common to artribute your success to either hardwork, background or even luck. Very few people will remember that it is not by power nor by might but by the spirit of God as it is written in the book of Zachariah. So what do you give credit to for your success? Who gets the glory in your life?
Maybe I succeeded a little
I jumped from the floor to the middle
You think I want the credit I don't

Cause the glory, ain't made for me, no
I know who sits on the throne
Who makes the stage and writes the songs
And I know, I couldn't do this on my own
And as much as I complain
I've seen more sunshine than rain

I could thank, My lucky stars
But that's not where, my blessings are
No, They come from the father's heart
Not the sky, not chance 
The truth is... I'm not Lucky I'm loved.
Psalms 20:7 ,"Some trust in horses, some trust in chariots. But I will trust in the name of the Lord." David wrote and said so.
There are times I have looked and envied people for having come from a 'more supportive' family or for knowing someone in a particular industry that helped them to rise to a senior level in their career much faster than the rest. I have wished that someone with more resources to be more willing to help me to do something that I have thought I was not able to do just because I did not have enough or the perfect resources. At the same time I have seen God make things happen for me that sincerely by my own efforts I would not have. I have gotten people to help me that I never thought of. This is just to let you know that what God wants you to do He will bring the resources your way to help you do so.
Someone once said that luck is preparation meeting opportunity. I say that you get your breakthrough when God says it's time. He loves us enough to prepare us along the way and teach us through the calling. It is never by chance. Nothing happens while God is asleep because He never sleeps nor slumbers. Even when it looks like those in power are not the right ones, God knows why He allowed them to be there. And when good days come, don't forget that it is the Father who wants you to have happy days. All things work together for good to those who love the Lord and have been called according to His purpose.
Your miracle is not luck, it's God's help at an appointed time. Time and seasons are in His hands.

ABIDE WITH ME

Photo from youtube.com This post is not for one who got it under control. This post is not for you who thinks you have to do a number of things to get God's attention. This post is not for one who already has a list of this years resolution and is willing to make everything work. This one today is for you who only knows that God is with you and that is all that matters. One who is aware of the new year but still has a junk of the previous years trying to weigh them down.

YOU NEVER LEAVE ME

Umeahidi ewe Bwana huniachi (You have promised oh Lord that you never leave me) Hadi mwisho wa dahari ulisema huniachi (To the end of ages you said, you will not leave me) Wewe ni Mungu uliye mwaminifu siku zote (You always a faithful God) Mimi ninaiweka Imani yangu kwako Bwana (I put my faith on you Lord) Today I just sat down and remembered the faithfulness of the Lord. These are the wings I needed to soar with in this new month.

PEOPLE

We all care. Most of us like to say we do not really care what anyone thinks about us but truth is that deep down we really do. It's just that some of us have slowly been sucked into approval addiction while some have gradually realized that it really shouldn't matter that much so we try not to let others' opinions sway us. All the same, even those of us who claim not to care actually want everyone to believe that we are unmoved by their opinions so really, it's a big deal. 123rf.com They are the best and the worst you've created Loving and hating and opinionated Loners in basements and those congregated Deliver me... Far from the peace, from ashore I was sinking Deep in the ocean of thoughts they were thinking Don't know what  validation I was seeking Deliver me from... I believe there's nothing wrong with caring about opinions. Because sometimes we're able to change our lives' direction for the better because we listened t

REMEMBER

Image
Sometimes things go dark. So dark that life ceases to make sense... Sometimes things go wrong and just when we think they can't get any worse they actually do... Sometimes we get weak...or as we like to say, life happens. This song, I believe, is for those times when life happens. Because those are the times we are prone to forget the truth we very much proclaim to know. Those  are the times we question our faith in God, we question His love for us, we question the very Words we so clearly heard Him speak to us. This song is a reminder to never forget in the darkness what we know to be true in the light. Cheta, Cheta (remember, remember)

OF HONEST PRAYERS...

Image
We've heard it said countless times that when it comes to talking to God, there's no sort of perfect way to it. What matters most is the state of our hearts.  A broken and contrite heart- these, He will not despise. A good number of people say music gets them through pretty much everything. The truth is that music is powerful. However there have been times in my life when nothing made sense. When I say nothing I mean even the songs that would normally be very helpful were simply just nicely arranged words with a melody. I would be in so much turmoil that I’d think of the times when one song or the other lifted my spirit and wonder what changed. Saviour please, take my hand
