My Aha week!

So it's reflection time when I didn't even know what it meant. This new year has surely started in a big bang eventhough part of me still feels like I'm holiday. Well the comforting thought is that my wife and I have really seen the benefit of a premium DSTV package since we're so avid movie fanatics.

But the last week has surely rocked my world for a lack of a better saying. I was chosen for work leadership programme and I've loved every minute of it. This was not about numbers or tools to be effective but rather about taking the time to discover oneself with an expert guiding you every step.

I realise that there's so many gaps in my perception on alot of issues eventhough I thought I had pretty good lateral thinking. I got to find out that I worry too much about the future that I stop living the present moment and so miss the opportunities for future growth. I realise that I don't accept compliments well because I fear having the image of a bad boy. I realized that I can choose every actions and in so doing choose my behavior in that action even when most will be critic of that situation.

It is quite clear that there's some changes I need to make both my life at work. How I interact with my colleagues and not be afraid to initiate or implement change.

The journey begins now...

Proverbs 1 - The dangers of Foolishness

I was reading this scripture this morning and i couldn't help feeling that I often act like this person. Thinking that I don't have to study my bible and put it into practice is compared to someone laughing at you when trouble comes to your life. It sounds cruel but God's standard was never meant to make us 'feel' good. 26 I also jwill laugh at your calamity; I will mock when kterror strikes you, 27 when terror strikes you like la storm and your calamity comes like a whirlwind, when distress and anguish come upon you. 28 mThen they will call upon me, but I will not answer; they will seek me diligently but will not find me. 29 Because they chated knowledge and ndid not choose the fear of the Lord,

Earnestly seek Him - Call to change

6 And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and mthat he rewards those who seek him. I've read this passage a thousand times and it never fails to ring sound doctrine in my heart. Too often I take it for granted that God is not pleased by mere "Lord, Lord" words coming out of my mouth. Too many times I lack effort in putting structures and plans that will drive me towards Him and His grace. I don't often ask myself "How can I grow in drawing near to God?" or "Does my life truly reflects his existence?". It's so easy to get caught up in the "pattern of this world", so easy to be "polluted by this world" David's charge to Solomon (1Chr 28) 9 “And you, Solomon my son, know the God of your father and serve him with a whole heart and with a willing mind, zfor the Lord searches all hearts and understands every plan and thought. If you seek him, he will be f...

Times of refreshing

What a weekend that has just gone past! The single's ministry saw two men getting baptised on Sunday after church! What a rush!!! I had never dealt with two people baptising at the same time. Truly the bible is true when it says that "repentance brings times of refreshing". Seeing the excitement in those guys faces made me realise how blessed we are at having being "fished out" of the water at such an early age (I was 18 and my wife 14). Through his grace, I've experienced much love and much pain in his kingdom yet through it all, knowing that His Spirit can continue to guide me as long as I stay close to him. The crazy thing about yesterday was the realization that God is definitely moving amongst the churches all around Southern Africa and it felt really good to know we were making news (although small in comparison) of our own. There was almost a sense of disbelief among those who have been doubting whether God can still do miracles. My prayer and hop...
