Hello! Hello!

I am writing with much excitement to be doing this again. I am writing out of a place of encouragement. Encouragement from the Holy Spirit himself when I have felt much weakness in moving forward. I have felt encouraged to hope for what I believe is mine but my physical eyes have not seen. I am hopeful. Very hopeful. There is no doubt that my eyes will see the doings of the Lord.

It is true that God can send people to encourage someone. I am more glad that the Spirit of God can also intercede on our behalf. Romans 8:26 – 27 says:

²⁶In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. ²⁷And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.

What the next verse says gives me more assurance of Victory. Great Victory!!

²⁸And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

God is faithful not to leave us without help. The help we need to walk this journey of faith though moments of life can seem to plunge us so deep into a pit we look like we cannot come out. But that is a lie of the devil, the father of all lies. There is hope. Hope that we can be saved. We were already saved! Hallelujah!

You know the devil likes to bring thoughts into our minds that the turmoil we see in front of us will consume us and we can never come out.Like he has a hold on us and there is no help coming for us. The Word of God says in John 10:28 – 30

²⁸I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand. ²⁹My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand. ³⁰I and the Father are one.”

Brethren, let us be encouraged today that God is faithful to send us help. Sometimes, it does not come in the form that we expect. But He does send the help. So let us hope. Hope in the Lord does not disappoint. His word is true.

Hello!! Hi Everyone!

Reflecting on the motivation of beginning this journey of writing in this platform, am reminded that the idea was to create a media channel that could provide more positive news compared to what we have been feeding on the major media channels all over the world. It can be toxic to the mindset of an individual who listens/views negative or discouraging news day in day out. And so I get back on this track after a considerable amount of break, revisiting the vision of EsperanzaMaishani sure did give me some light on how am to progress. Here we go!!!

I am personally, a nature lover. I love the color green. The sound of a waterfall. The view of a sun setting on the horizon of an ocean. The orange sun rays shining through. The birds chirping in the trees. All this is beautiful to me. Creation. With all the debate out there on the universe origin, I believe that God is the creator. He reveals His power in all the magic found in the creation all around us. He deserves all the praise!!!

I write very much aware that those who will have access to this post may be going through various seasons of their lives, varying in the dynamics. Some may be in a planting season, others harvesting, some mourning, some dancing, while others are weeping, others laughing their socks off…..Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

A Time for Everything

3 There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under the heavens:

²    a time to be born and a time to die,
    a time to plant and a time to uproot,
³    a time to kill and a time to heal,
    a time to tear down and a time to build,
⁴    a time to weep and a time to laugh,
    a time to mourn and a time to dance,
⁵    a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
    a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,
⁶    a time to search and a time to give up,
    a time to keep and a time to throw away,
⁷    a time to tear and a time to mend,
    a time to be silent and a time to speak,
⁸    a time to love and a time to hate,
    a time for war and a time for peace.

I do not write assuming that I understand every detail of every person or have the answer to every problem. No, absolutely, No. I am writing saying that I know where we can all get our answers in all our seasons. Yes, We, me included!!

There is one who not only created the heaven and earth, but time itself. He was not created but creates. He is Alpha and Omega!! In Him, all blessings flow. John 1:1-3 says..In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. ²He was with God in the beginning. ³Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.

God is real! How do I know? Well, for this post, I will say the creation is evidence enough. Just look at it for a second.Let us step out of our seasons for a second and view the nature near you. The air, the skies, the trees, the water, the animals, the grass, the snow (for some of you), feeling of the wind blowing by. It is beautiful indeed. May we not miss out on this beauty. It speaks. Speaks loudly to us. How I pray we will all listen!

Romans 1:18-20 says:¹⁸The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, ¹⁹since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. ²⁰For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.

I will end this post by encouraging all of us that God, our Father welcomes us with open arms in whatever season we may be facing. He is more than able to sort out everything that may be going wrong. He is real! Very real! Very Able! 1 Peter 5:7 says Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.

AMEN and AMEN!!
