Committed 3?

Oh hi guys, hope you are enjoying the weekend, I'm still open for people that want to take me out. So today I wish I could copy

a whole chapter and just type but I can't so I'll drop this verse;

2 Kings 2:10-11
And he said, Thou hast asked a hard thing: nevertheless, if thou see me when I am taken from thee, it shall be so unto thee; but if not, it shall not be so. And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.

So I love this guy called Elisha, I'm doing a bit of thorough study on some Bible characters. So Elisha was one guy that showed us what commitment stands for, right from the time the mantle was placed on him, he never wavered, the guy was an OBO yet he left it all, he was doing a lot of mundane jobs for Elijah. He was absolutely committed to serving his master even at the point of Elijah's departure he stayed. 

He was so determined to serve Elijah to the end, he was never distracted, he was never murmuring, he just kept at it. Now I want us to realize that even Elijah said 'it's enough coman be going ' yet Elisha was adamant. Even after asking for what he wanted, Elijah employed a distraction strategy because from the time of the journey they never spoke whilst walking but after Elisha's request, Elijah thought to distract him so he would be carried away by the convo and not see him (Elijah) leave.

Still, this Elisha was persistent in his service, he just wouldn't allow himself to defer from his service. Let's also get this, Elisha never followed Elijah so he could make a request, he didn't even envisage that Elijah would ask him for anything. He followed because he was committed to the love he had for his master, even the after reaction when his master was taken shows us how committed he was to that love. 

I would love to type more but lemme stop here. Thanks guys and God bless. Enjoy the holidays still.

Hey guys, good day. Hope your day was splendid? “But Ruth said, “Do not urge me to leave you or to turn back from following you; for where you go, I will go, and where you lodge, I will lodge. Your people will be my people, and your God, my God.” ‭‭RUTH‬ ‭1:16‬ ‭AMP‬‬ So I know I wrote in Ruth a few days ago but my attention was drawn to Naomi. I mean there must have been some qualities in Naomi that made Ruth determined to follow her. Imagine how endearing Naomi had made her God seem to Ruth for Ruth to have wanted to serve Him. I have to commend Naomi on spreading the gospel so much that her daughter in law was willing and ready to forsake her childhood gods and her way of life just to be with an old woman. I've wondered what was it about that old woman, as in understand that both Ruth and Orpah were unwilling to leave Naomi. She had nothing to offer but I'm quite sure she had invested a lot into them. Now the question is what are we investing into people, how endear

  Buenos días amigos ha pasado mucho tiempo , anyways sha it's great to be back. James 1:22-23 Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror. I know how a lot of us go about in Word Conferences and be shouting "Hmm Rhema!" upandan, biko don't get annoyed but all the Rhema you've been getting what have you used it for exactly? Abi you are now a keeper that all you do is catch Rhema, without retaining possession of the Rhema you've received. The truth is that if we've put into practice all the Rhema we've received then we would have become better Christians. I know someone is thinking that 'not all Rhema is for me', but wait, if the Rhema was not for you, why were you shouting Rhema in our ears depriving some of us from even hearing what the Rhema was. I remember joining a group about sharing the

On Your Side 2

Hello, how are you guys doing. Lemme quickly jump into this before I lose my train of thought  And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty. ‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭6:18‬ ‭KJV‬‬ So I was relating a few days ago, that once you understand that God is on your side then many things will fall into place for you. I have a story to share, so some time last month, in one day, we had two fire outbreaks in my house, a wall socket that we’ve never used before just caught fire, the other one caught fire and started to burn the curtain in the process. Something funny happened, all of us at home just said “the devil has been defeated” and went about our business again. Excuse me, in case you don’t know, it was the realization that God was on Peter’s side that made him say “Lord if that is really you, bid me to come”, once you realize that God is performing a duty beyond God-ship and He is also performing the duty of Father. It’s like how a baby loosens up a
