Live in abundance

Image
 According to the Cambridge English Dictionary, the word abundance can be used to describe a considerably large amount of something. This is an amount that is more than enough. To some abundance can be financial, emotional, mental and spiritual. Safe to say everyone wants to have an area of their lives that is filled with abundance. Abundance more often than not means comfort for example if your monthly bills are $5000 and your monthly income is $8000 then you are living in financial abundance where you have more than enough. The question I had is can only live in abundance if the physical evidence shows that they are living in abundance ? A friend of mine once told me how important one's perspective of the world is. Some see the world as a cold barren place where opportunities are few and finances are even fewer whereas some see the world as an infinite sea of opportunities with more than enough money to go round the world. The first batch of people no matter their positions in li...

Predict your future

Image
I am sure we have at some point seen or heard of fortune tellers or people who are said to have future predicting abilities. Some have crystal balls, some read palms and some just stare into your eyes and rub your head or something then tell you what your future holds. I have often wondered myself then if my future is in my hands or it is already predestined? Jeremiah 29 vs 11 which is one of the most quoted verses in the bible says "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Woow so it means that our lives have already been planned by the Lord and the plans are not to harm us or to cause us suffering but instead to make us prosper and become the best versions of ourselves in accordance to his will. The question now becomes "Why then do we have people who are suffering?" Well while I might not have all the answers, the word does tell us that the Lord loves us so dearly ...

Speak it into existence

Image
 I am sure we are all familiar with the story of creation where God in all his might spoke everything into existence. Trees and animals alike all came from the words that came from God. To me this means that God's words are alive and active and they cause things to come into existence meaning they have creative capabilities. The power of words is shown clearly in the opening scriptures and the beauty of it is on the 6th day God created man in his own image and likeness.  So there are many interpretations to this verse but the point I am putting out is the same creative capabilities that the words that came from God have are the same creative capabilities that your words have. Have you ever wondered why man has always wanted to create, invent and provide some kind of innovation . This  is mainly because we are creators by nature and we were given that ability so that we could create the world that we wanted and shape our lives how we want them to be. Proverbs 18 vs 21 says...

All you need is a seed

Image
A mustard seed is considered to be amongst one of the smallest seeds in the world. Measuring in at 1 - 2 millimeters in diameter it is quite difficult to understand how such a small seed can grow into a tree that will not only produce fruits but will be a resting place for animals and people alike. In the book of Matthew 17 vs 20, Jesus mentions the mustard seed in one of his teachings. "..Truly I tell you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you." ~ Matthew 17 vs 20.  To those that have seen a mustard seed, I am sure you can relate to how small and seemingly insignificant it is. Yet this is the seed chosen in an example by Jesus to show us how much faith we need to be able to do anything that we desire. Since faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen (Hebrews 11 vs 1), it is pretty evident as to where our faith works....
