TWS- FINISH LINE

Leave a comment

As I wrap this up, I want to say that the distance of your liferathon is not in the number of years you have to live, it is in the purpose you are to fulfill. One can be 80 and unfulfilled and another 45 and fulfilled. Fulfillment is not in age, but in purpose. The reason you passed the first hurdle is to fulfill purpose in order to get to the finish line of liferathon.

I knew you before I formed you in the womb; I set you apart for me before you were born; I appointed you to be a prophet to the nations

Jeremiah 1:5 (ISV)

I like to say that you do not have guarantee of long life if your purpose does not allow it. It is the time was allotted for you to fulfill purpose that determines when you get to the finish line.

I used to recite Psalm 91:16 and it used to be my best verse of that chapter. For some time now, I occasionally bring things I have believed in and held tenaciously over the years to a proofing table. One of the things I discovered about that verse was that it was an effect of a cause. I had to trace the cause back to verse 14. I then realized that I have no right to long life if I am not focused on my purpose.

Your purpose defines your finish line. During REHAB, your purpose is made clear to you. You receive the vision you are to run with. The essence of REHAB is not just to empower you to run, but to remind you that your life must count for something. So when you get to your finish line, you can then declare like Apostle Paul:

I have fought the good fight. I have completed the race. I have kept the faith

2 Timothy 4:7 (ISV)

When you come to the point where you have completed your assignment on earth, that is your finish line.

Stay blessed and a Happy November to you.

LET THERE BE LIGHT!

Leave a comment

And God said “let there be light”

And the big bang theory happened

God saw this was good

Then Lucifer became Satan

Making the hearts of men twisted
Preventing us from seeing the Spirit of life in use

We were doomed to only see dust wherever we stood

Until we became saw dust

The escapades to find light were endless with no result

When our philosophies became more supreme in our eyes than God’s

And then stepping stones became mountains

That even in recent times,

The reoccurrence of genesis to exodus with no revelation still happens

Because our eyes had been darkened

Remember when we were toddlers

And every theorist was a bluffer

We tried putting the switch on both sides

To see if it will stay

To see if there will be change

And just as the law is perfect

We ate the fruit and our minds perished

Because the Spirit was not in there

But I’m not trying to tell you anything different

Christ alone efficient

His grace alone is sufficient

And your minds to brace up!

So let your glass of space focus on Christ

To be identified by Him

And not dignified by any man

Cause’ when Christ is involved

The insignificant becomes magnificent

That reaching unto his hem

Throws all your past deeds
into abyss

And your first degree of light would be revealed

Our paths are clearer in Him

Becoming new brands in his clan

As we blossom
in His bosom

Even if I’m are wrong for thinking this way

If i am wrong for saying we choose Christ way

There is no logic to Him

For in Christ I’m determined

So you are ashamed of Him

Those of us at the back seat

He will be ashamed of you

In front of Our Papi

And even if you deny Him he can’t deny himself

For he is faithful enough to wait for you

But time waits for no man

So just Switch On to Christ

For in Him there is Light.

Hannah/Thoetanko

TWS- RENEWED

Leave a comment

Another thing that happens at REHAB is renewal of strength. Every new life comes with a new strength. This is not a top up or a makeup, it is new. The new strength is not added, it is given completely. This means that every strength you had initially is taken away.

God does not put an old wine in a new wine skin.
 He cannot give you a new life and then top up your strength. He strips you of whatever strength you have; to give you a totally new one that will carry you as you live your new life. This is why He strips you of whatever gave you pleasure in the old life you had. The next time you notice that things are changing in your life that could be God taking you through REHAB.

In Luke 24:49, Jesus told the disciples to wait in Jerusalem. He could have just asked them to launch out immediately, but no, he asked them to wait. This is because the strength they need to function effectively can only come when they have received the Holy Ghost, the strength giver.

I am led to say something, and I will close with it.

REHAB is a place of preparation for greater exploits.
 Do not be in a hurry to launch out, wait on the Lord and let Him fill you with the Holy Ghost. That is when you can be fired up for the hurdles of this liferathon.

Stay blessed.
