Today I have something to offer

 











If I ever make a contribution in this life it has to be making people feel better in some way, and for me presence is always a great gift on its own. Being present…

Today I would likes to put a thought out there, and it is spelt as follows: I have something to offer!

Some people naturally love to give gifts; they always find reasons to do it without any struggle. And some people are more of receivers, not that they are bad people but its just not part of the tradition, or they think they cannot afford to. In most case when people think giving the second thought that comes to play is money. We mostly think of gifts to be tangible and i find this notion limiting. Money is one of the sources of giving but it is not the main, it is not the only channel to warming a heart.

Making a moment better is making a life better. I delight in people’s joy because at some point I felt the absence of joy, so I understand the value of playing part. Let us think of things to offer this day, tomorrow or this week, keeping in mind it’s the intension that counts. Common phrase “it’s the thought that counts”.

We can think about the people around us, our friends, our family, colleagues, neighbours, strangers or literally the first person that just played in your mind. Would spending more time with them be a good gift at the moment? Would giving an ear and/ or a hug be a good gift? Would sending a text “I see you/ I appreciate/ you got this” be a good gift this day? Would even just offering an apology be a much meaningful gift to ever be offered this week? I believe you just thought of a suitable gift to offer to the first person that came to mind. Just to add another thought: it is a greatest gesture to do stuff for people we don’t know too. As for good things, we don’t do them only when deserved but we do them because that is what matters.

In conclusion we all have something to offer, so let us give something this week and warm a heart. When we warm a heart we also warm our own hearts.

Life is as easy as we make our thoughts to be. - M Jiyane

Blessed to bless: Service is the call

I am happy to see the heart of God in partnering with me to bless others. While this is my call to answer, I am careful not to be overly excited but to remain level-headed, as I understand the cost of being chosen to work for the Lord. Walking with Him in itself can be daunting; it’s a great responsibility that involves exposing my heart, forcing me to accept where I am wrong and engage in doing the job to unlearn and learn. Service comes with sacrifice at the same time it is deeply fulfilling and the very reason for our existence. A call, I explain as a thing that describe me yet feels foreign. It’s both familiar and new. The beginning is exhilarating, as it resembles pursuing a passion that feels more like a hobby. However, I recognize that there have been times I fought against the will of God because it was taxing to be in the place He called me to remain, doing the work and interacting with challenging individuals. I have celebrated at the revelation that my struggle is meant to e...

Successful Living: Embracing God's Will

Free and victorious Galatians 5:1 “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.” We are free from:   - Oppression by the enemy,   - Destruction from Satan,   - Deception by Satan,   - Being controlled and used by the enemy,   - The lies of the enemy.   Romans 8:37 "No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us."   We are successful in:   - Our walk with God,   - Hearing God,   - Following the instructions of God and obeying Him,   - Aligning with the will, plan, and purpose of God according to His will as we devote ourselves to scriptures,   - Loving the things God loves and hating the things God hates.   We experience victory in:   - Following God,   - Living a life written in heaven for the number of our days on earth....

The Responsibility to Remember

This blog is inspired by a sermon titled “ Who Is God Calling You to Be ” by Sarah Jakes Robertś. In the journey of faith, we often encounter challenges that test our resolve and beliefs. However, we have power to war. When faced with adversity, it’s vital to put our knowledge of Scripture to work and crash the head of the serpent. The Bible reminds us of the enmity between us and the serpent, as stated in Genesis 3:15 (NIV) “And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.” This powerful verse serves as a battle cry, urging us to fight back against depression, anxiety, fear, life’s challenges and the lies that tell us we are not good enough or that our dreams are too big to attain. When challenges arise, we must go back to the feet of Jesus. There, we can pick His brain and meditate on what He tells us. It’s essential to internalize these teachings and repeat them to ourselves. When the enemy r...
