Because He lives!!!!

We all have a favourite quote, a favourite verse, a favourite saying or favourite words of wisdom As this day begins thought   should share my favorite verse and word of wisdom with you. Some of us probably know it, some of us are probably reading it for the first time. Whatever the situation, I am more than glad to share it with you. I hope that it gives you strength for the week.

1st Corinthians 10:13:
There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer that ye are tempted  above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape that ye may be able to bear it.
In my few years of living, I have discovered that life is hard, and just when you think that your experience is unbearable, someone else shares their experience with you and you are left speechless because people have problems. But this is for you who…. YES YOU!!!
Let us break this down slowly:

There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man:
This simply means what you are going through at this moment of your life, is something that someone else somewhere on earth has gone though. You may be the first one to deal with it in your family, school nation or church but you are not the very first person to deal with it here on earth. Someone else has been through it.

But God is faithful, who will not suffer that ye are tempted above that ye are able:
This is just as it is stated, that although you are not the first person to go through what you are going through, God knows what you can handle and He will not allow you to go through that which you cannot bear. The only reason why we may fail to overcome is because we fail to abide under His safe loving arms where we can find refuge. Nothing that happens in our lives takes God by surprise. He is the author and the finisher of our faith He knows the end from the beginning and yes we may not be able to understand why, but in due course He helps us understand why.
But will with every temptation also make a way to bear that ye may bear it
God does not only ensure that He only allows us to go through what we can bear, He also ensures that with every temptation He makes a way for us to escape. That is the reason why we really need to abide with Him every single moment of our lives.

That brings me to the words of this hymn

This may not seem to answer all your questions but I pray that you will find comfort reading through it




Oh Yes, Because He live you can face tomorrow.
Have a victorious week ahead will you?

    Amen. Profound indeed!! Remind me, our heavenly Father measures and weighs every trial before He permits it to come upon the believer. He considers the circumstances and the strength of the one who is to stand under the proving and test of God, and He never permits the temptations to be greater than the capacity of resistance. If the soul is overborne, the person overpowered, this can never be charged to God, One may wonder why or how, well here's the reason... but the one tempted was not vigilant and prayerful and did not appropriate by faith the provisions God had abundantly in store for him. Christ never failed a believer in his hour of combat. The believer must claim the promise and meet the foe in the name of the Lord....Can we trust God fully to see us through, yes we can, Because He cares.

    Thanks Dorcas for the wonderful words above.

    Good insight there. This means, I am not supposed to have the word impossible when faced with a temptation, except when saying impossible to fall to the temptation...
    I now see the inspiration says, when faced with a challenge,a Christian is supposed see a call to prayer. This will open your eyes to see the way the Lord has opened.

    Good food for thought there Dorc

Ever been at the wrong place at the wrong time?

I don’t know how to bring out what I am about to write about, but read through with me. David, a man after God’s own heart, that’s what we read about him in Acts 13:22, many people never think that David really deserved that description, well for whatever reasons that they have. Psalms 51 is one of those chapters that convince me that David really did deserve that title, but that’s not the point. There is something about being at the wrong place at the wrong time,that awakens me this day even as I share. 2 nd Samuel 11:1 And it came to pass after the year was expired at the time when kings go forth to battle that David sent Joab and his servants with him and all Israel; and they destroyed the children of Ammon and besieged Rabbah.  But David Tarried still at Jerusalem   It was because David was in the wrong place at the wrong time that he ended up seeing Bathsheba naked, the he lusted for her that he sent for her, that he committed adultery with B...

The Mother-Daughter Affair

The Mother-Daughter relationship is one of the most dramatic affairs that I have experienced and witnessed in my entire life. A few days ago I was in the office and my amazing, loving mother called me early in the morning to ask me how I was doing and how my new job was coming along. We had a very relaxed conversation as we always do, just laughing and laughing. She was very interested in wanting to know what tasks I had on my desk that day, so I explained it to her. This whole time my colleagues were seated with me in the office. When the conversation with my mother ended, one of my colleagues who is a mother of a 21-year-old asked me, “Woi jameni will I ever be able to have such a relaxed conversation with my daughter? Sisi ni kama hatusikilizani” (Will I ever have such a relaxed conversation with my daughter, we don’t exactly get along). Then I smiled and told her, "Trust me it will happen!" I spoke to her from my own experience and it reminded me of my own walk with m...
