The Tuner

                   Are you in tune?       
             This may seem like a strange title but there is a message.

So I am taking guitar lessons. I've always wanted to play an instrument. I tried keyboard at school but didn't stick with it for too long, how I wish I did.

Anyway, yesterday my instructor was teaching me about guitar tuning. I won't go into the whole method of guitar tuning. But, I believe I have a message from what I have learned and well let me get to it.

There are times in our lives we need tuning.
Our lives get so busy, we forget to take time to recharge, just like a phone needs charging, we also need a good charge and not just from time to time.

One thing I didn't realise, is that with a guitar you have to constantly re tune it, now to me that sounded like a lot of hard work.
But that's the thing, if we want to have a relationship with God that is on fire for him and pleasing to him then we must take time to sit at his feet and get in tune with God. Sometimes that takes a lot of time and a lot of retuning, we have to get our bibles out daily, seek him daily, pray daily and sometimes you may not even be seeing the results straight away. But soon enough you will be back to strength, alignment and so many other things.

For me to become a good guitarist, I need to make personal commitment to having practice time, to be alone and keep retuning my guitar and everything I have learned. I also need to know I am not going to be pro overnight. See many people are looking for perfection straight away, or in your walk as a Christian your looking for God to give you what you want straight away. However, it doesn't work like that.

So instead, let's take the pressure of and keep growing, keep learning. Stay focused. Spend time with God. It's time to get in tune with God.

I believe God has something amazing for us all. Jeremiah 29:11. God has a plan for you and I. He will also direct our paths if we will trust him. Proverbs 3.5.6

Jesus loves you
Today choose to trust The Lord and give someone grace, just as God has given grace to you. Let God direct your paths.

What are your expectations?

             Have a vision for your life! We all dream of  living the luxury life. A fancy car, a husband, kids, a nanny, a mansion, a successful career. The list goes on and on. It's a good thing to have a vision for your life, as long as you attach spiritual things to it as well. Yesterday, my Pastor was speaking on expectations and gave us a little secret, that many people and even Pastors get to church without the expectation of seeing Jesus. This registered to me, a lot, because on the way to church, in fact from the morning I woke up just knowing there was going to be a mighty move from God in our church service and I had great expectations not even just for the church service, but to see Jesus and expect great breakthrough and miracles. And God didn't disappoint. But many times we can loose sight of having expectations whether at church or for our lives. I realise I recently lost some hope in seeing great things, I had beg...

I don't know what to say

             This might seem like another strange title, but again there's a message worth reading. At least I think there is. Have you ever felt like you just don't know what to say? You want to talk to someone but you have no idea where to start, so you find everything else to talk about. Well, I know I have, sometimes I over worry about what I am going to say or if I'm going to offend someone or hurt someone. I had been worrying about speaking to someone recently, even now, until I came across this scripture. Matthew 10:19  do not worry about what to say or how to say it.  At that time you will be given what to say,   20  for it will not be you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father  speaking through you. And that has now taken a lot of pressure off from myself.  So I wanted to encourage you, whenever you feel that you don't know what to say, ask for God to speak through you, to guide your words at the rig...

Do you even realise what you did wrong? - disobedient relationships cause delay! If God said no its a no.

Sometimes we don't understand the magnitude of the things we have done against God.  Walking, in disobedience is what will take you out of achieving the will of God in your life. The things you could have achieved if you had only been obedient. Being in fornication or in a relationship that you know God told you to get out of time a go, will keep you in disobedience, and will stop you receiving the great person that God has for you. That's how people get divorced so quickly. You were meant to wait on God, but you took the first thing that came a long, you knew in yourself you were not ready but just wanted the status and wanted to prove people wrong or was just desperate to be loved. But people won't be in that marriage with you. when your being beaten black and blue no one's going to be in that but you. Half of these marriages that we see are not what you think, and do not believe everyone that says God put us together and don't believe eve...
