Lifted and Floating





Gen 7:17-18

‘‘For forty days, the flood kept coming on the earth, and as the waters increased, they lifted the ark high above the earth. The waters rose and increased greatly on the earth, and the ark floated on the surface of the water.’’
                                                                          
Usually at the beginning of a new year, people put pen to paper or thoughts to computer to offer counsel on ‘best practices’ for the new year. Expectations are high, and everyone is hopeful that the new year will bring the best. Be better than the previous. Provide more opportunities. Growing up, as little children we ran down the road in pursuit of the old year to bid farewell and make sure it left empty handed.

The bible verses above are quite profound. Read again. The flood ordinarily should have been an agent of disaster, however in this case, as the waters increased, there was a ‘lifting.’ Thereafter there was a ‘floating’ of the ark upon the waters! I really love the sound of this.

Everyone no doubt would desire to be lifted above challenges, disappointments and discouragements. A literal ‘lifting’ affords you the opportunity of height and better command of your affairs. Floating signifies that state where you are perfectly on top of your game, effortlessly cruising on the highway or sipping your chapman on a floater in the pool clad in your sunshade and fedora.

Here is my question to you. Are you afraid of the waters and the flood of life?  Leave the shore,  get into the ark and be positioned to be helped. Your ark could be different from mine. It could be Association ark, Relationship ark, Education ark, Professional ark, Faith ark, Purpose ark, Mentorship ark, Networking ark, Business ark, and many more. Make that shift.

Leave the shore and enter the ark. Obey God and let Him guide you to fulfil purpose in 2018, then you will truly have a ‘lifted’ and ‘floating’ 2018.

Stay inspired.

The Power of the Adolescent Girl

Image
  As October 2017 begins to roll into history, I lend my voice to celebrate every girl child on the surface of the globe. She comes like a gift wrapped in beauty and grace with her potentials carefully enclosed in her buds. Her birth may not have been announced. Yet, like the bud of a rose flower, she blossoms and lets out innocent fragrance to a waiting world. Roses come in lovely shades of White, Pink, Red, Orange, Lavendar, Purple, Yellow, Blue, Yellow and Green. Likewise, the adolescent girl. She comes in various shades and colours. Packed with potentials and possibilities. Her relevance lies in her virtue and inner strength. Not in wanton desires. Her uniqueness lies in her innermost beauty, not in vanity. Her future is filled with hope, not just glitz. The power of the adolescent girl is unimaginable! She is the treasure of the unborn generation. The gold mine that must be tapped for a better world.

Day 5 – Inspirations from the Beach

Image
I have never imagined swimming anywhere other than a regular swimming pool with boundaries that I can see and clearly marked depths as well.  From afar at the beach, somewhere beyond what the eyes could see well, the blue sea (Indian Ocean in this case) appears to merge with the blue sky above showing 2 different shades of blue with a line in- between.  Genesis 1:6 says on the 2 nd day of creation,  God said 'let there be a firmament/space to separate water from water... God called the firmament "sky" (paraphrased). It all made sense to me seeing this scene.  Boundaries - The shades, though almost invisible exist.   Again, call it God's indelible signature in Nature.  Beaches are usually characterized with lush palm trees that have green fronds gracefully moving at the passing of breeze. Boats. Coconuts. Shells. Sandcastles at different stages of construction. Wreckages. Foot prints. Pebbles.  Debris washed ashore.  White sands that dust your feet no m
