About to make a big decision!


If i was to give a subtitle to this it would be ( making decisions God's way)

In the last couple of months, i have been on the verge of making a very big decision in my life. I have constantly mentioned this to God, asking Him to lead me. I knew i would not lead myself and so i had to lean on to God's understanding.
So many times when you are just about to make a very big decision, there will be two voices speaking in you. Your voice and God's voice. The enemy may take advantage of your own voice especially when God is leading you to your place of destiny and purpose. He ( the enemy ) is so afraid of who you are in Christ and he will do anything to lead you astray.

What i have learnt in this season:

  • God is not the author of confusion 
  • Make a decision ( the enemy would want you remain stuck without making a decision )
  • Test every spirit ( the enemy would still use scripture to tempt you )
  • Know your weaknesses and strengths
  • Accountability ( get someone you trust to walk and pray with you)
  • Pray, read the word and be honest with God ( have a relationship with Him)
The key to know the difference between  the truth and a lie is remaining in fellowship with Christ. God will surely reveal the truth to you if only you remain in Him.He will do it in His time and with whoever and however , and so expect from every side!

 But the anointing that you received from him abides in you, and you have no need that anyone should teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about everything, and is true, and is no lie—just as it has taught you, abide in him
1 John 2:27 

Sometimes you may be tempted to lean on to your own understanding and ignore the voice of God ( that still small voice ) but i encourage you today, although you may feel dirty after being tempted, you should remember that temptation itself is not sin. We sin when we give in and disobey God.
We are tested when we are most vulnerable i.e weighing big decisions, faced with uncertainty, lonely, tired and also through  our strengths where pride may exist.


No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it
1 John 10:13
Glory to God , He will always provide a way of escape, #escape from the enemy's hands!
  
Lets learn from our BIG brother, Jesus!
When He was tempted in the wilderness by Satan. He was tempted on three things :
  • Physical needs and desires ( Matthew 4:4)
  • Possessions and power ( Matthew 4:6)
  • Worship ( Matthew 4:9)  
Jesus Christ overcame through knowing and obeying the word. 
It is always important to ask God to help you understand scripture so that you do not make assumptions of what God is saying to you, in this critical moment.Remember the enemy can still use scripture to speak to you.

Be patient before the Lord,
Wait patiently!
 But you belong to God, my dear children. You have already won a victory over those people, because the Spirit who lives in you is greater than the spirit who lives in the world
1 John 4:4


With love,
Bernice

Help

So the other day I got to visit a very prestigious place in our country, located in Nairobi. Ha-ha oh yeah the place is prestigious, if I were to mention it, some people would be like, you mean that… ha-ha Oh don’t worry about my many ha-has in the text, I love to laugh a lot. My mama and I have good laughs when I visit, and my papa is like … you guys! But I know he is happy to have us. Oh I digress a bit, Back to this prestigious place, being my first time there, I was a bit nervous. Not even knowing where to begin with the security checks (oh I was not carrying a bomb), the lifts and all. I have such a phobia for lifts and in one way all another I knew I was not going to escape them this time. I prefer the staircase to the lift. But one thing I was sure of, I was with Jesus! Just a few meters I notice, a colleague and I knew she was going in the same place, We were there for a training. And then I see her taking a different route, from the r...

It is not yet time

I know i have been so lost here, been so busy with other things, but it is all good. I thank God for the privilege to find something to do with own hands.( I pray for those looking for a job or desire to start your own business may God grant you favor in this season, you are blessed!) I have not neglected writing, but in this season , i felt God lead me to spend more time in His presence and do less.He has always been the source and i desire to continue being filled of Him , even as i pour out what He has put in me. My desire for this blog is that every word will be life spoken to your life, none of me but all of JESUS! In the process of discovering where i was in this season, i must confess that at some point i felt so worried, questions like, what is happening to me? is anything wrong with me? did i make the right decision to start blogging? am i really called to do this? rang in my mind. However i continued to seek the Lord on this matter, He reminded me that He is a God of times...
