Happy June
Dear Family,
A hearty congratulations all!
We have crossed May into a brand new month of limitless possibilities :)
It is June...we are officially halfway through the year 2008. WAOH!! how time flies eh?
And just as swiftly as the month came, its already on the move again....today is the 4th! You know what this year and indeed this month makes me think about?
It reminds me of the story of Jacob, who wrestled with the angel of the Lord and won! haha! How do you think he did it? Seriously, a human being, a treacherous, cunny human being, a lair and a cheat, one called the sub planter, who deceived his brother to gain the birthright, a man who knew nothing about Jesus or his saving power, STILL HE WRESTLED WITH THE ANGEL OF GOD's PRESENCE AND WON... how is that even fathomable? A man conquering in the most holy presence of God.
I often wondered why God granted Jacob the opportunity in the first place. He was clearly not 'blessings material' right? Then God directed my eyes to the book of Ecclesiastes 9:11 , the Bible says "I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all. "
The facts are simply these - Jacob, knew who he was, but he refused to let that deter him from who he could be. He had seen how God blessed his father and his grand father, he had seen how his fathers walked with God. He yearned for such a relationship and he knew according to the word of God that God would send him an opportunity. So when the angel came with news for him, he recognised it as his opportunity to be blessed. He refused to let it GO. He grabbed on with his very life.
So what is the month of June to you? Just another month? with bills and worries? frustrations left and right? or just another plan ole 30 days in the calendar? I challenge you to see further, SEE what COULD BE, recognise the hand of God and challenge him to take you places you have never dreamed of.
The Bible says that God is no respecter of persons, what he does for one he would do for the other....so what are you waiting for! LAY HOLD ON YOUR BLESSINGS THIS MONTH AND REFUSE TO LET IT GO!
May the shouts of joy never cease from our homes in Jesus Name.
Have a blessed month,
I hope to write this monthly, even if i forget to update y'all with gist! But gist boku o!
