Making Excuses

Thank God for the rain (both the former and the latter rain) thank God for the former rain that beat me slightly and the latter rain that beat me mercilessly.

“Then Moses said to the LORD, “Please, Lord, I am not a man of words (eloquent, fluent), neither before nor since You have spoken to Your servant; for I am slow of speech and tongue.””
EXODUS 4:10 AMP

Studying the life of Moses I noticed that he never missed an opportunity to make excuses, any time God wanted to send him on an errand, He had a perfectly constructed excuse as to why he couldn't do what he was sent to do. 

Many of us might call it humility but all I see it as is undermining the ability of He that sent you. Maybe Moses had forgotten that God knows everything and He was aware of his shortcomings yet my uncle always reminded God .

I've prayed a prayer before and after praying I made excuses for God and concluded that I would understand and accept if that prayer was answered. Many of us are sent to that drug addict and we make excuses just to evade being the messenger. 

At the end of the day Uncle Moses felt like he had too much responsibilities and God was tired of it so he shared the anointing on Moses' head upon over seventy men. Don't be like me and my uncle, stop making excuses

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
