Peace in Rwanda

Rwanda has caught the attention of many presidents and citizens worldwide. Most of us are amazed at how the country has progressed over the years and, most importantly, how the country has managed to maintain peace after the tragic events of 1994. The country experienced a tragic genocide in 1994 because of societal divisions that had been ongoing for years before the genocide. People in Rwanda allowed social status to divide them, and they identified themselves as either Tutsi or Hutu depending on the type of farming certain families and individuals. Over 800,000 Tutsi's were killed during the genocide, most of whom were men, and young boys, girls, and women were mostly raped and abused in unimaginable ways. The country was in a devastating condition, and things seemed hopeless for a while, but 30 years later the country has improved in so many beautiful ways, which are inspiring and teaching other countries valuable lessons on good leadership, good governance, and the importance ...

The destiny of a nation is shaped by its leaders

The social injustices witnessed today and through history are often direct results of a countries leadership and governance, all decisions taken by kings and queens, presidents and vices in the past are directly affecting our current reality, which is why selecting the right leaders is important and praying for them is just as important because whatever they decide will affect you and generations to come. In South Africa social injustices are slightly different from what was experienced in the past, today there may be no government officials forcefully removing people from their homes but there are thousands of black South Africans living in deteriorating informal settlements in outskirts, there may be no public laws restricting black people on where they can work and what type of work they can do but there are thousands of black people who are working 8 - 5, being underpaid, exploited and experiencing racism in the workplace, there may be no laws restricting black people's movemen...

Approaching Destiny

As children of God, we wish to become what God has called us to be; we wish to know our destiny and live it just as Jesus did while he was on earth. He didn't immediately start off by fulfilling his destiny, but he started somewhere; for example, he was a carpenter once, but that was not his final destination; amongst other things, he was sent to earth to perform miracles and save humanity on the cross. Matthew chapter 26 is a beautiful chapter that shows how Jesus behaved as his destiny approached, specifically his assignment to die on the cross for our sins, which is what this post will be focusing on. In this chapter, we see his vulnerability and sadness as the day and hour approach for him to be hung on the cross. We see how confident he was in his destiny; he had a deep knowing and understanding of what he had to fulfill; he also had faith that all that was written in scripture concerning his life would come true; and he had the courage to surrender to the will of God even tho...

The road to holiness

  The road to holiness   Being more like Jesus requires a lot of effort and intention, from what I’ve learnt in my journey with God, the first step to being holy is reverence. Reverencing God means to take him in the most high regard and to show deep respect for him. It is important that we fear God in order to achieve all that God wants us to achieve in this life and in order to be all that he created us to be. Fearing God is the first step to acquiring wisdom (Proverbs 1:7), it forms a boundary and limitation from what we should and shouldn’t do as children of God, the wisdom that comes from God stops us from operating in a worldly standard and having a worldly mentality, instead we operate and live in the standard that God has set for us. It should be our intention then to reverence God, to obey his every command even when it gets tempting and difficult, which it always does, and that is why we have to take up our cross everyday just as Christ did. Taking instructions...

The blessing of the Lord makes rich

  The blessing of the Lord makes rich   Often in life we hope for things we have not yet acquired, we pray for what we do not have, we wish for our hearts desired to be fulfilled and we spend time pondering what life could be like once we have these things. God loves us more than words can explain and he wants us to have beautiful things in life, to have meaningful and rich experiences in life, however when an opportunity knocks at our door we usually jump in excitement and run with it, without actually discerning if it is really a blessing from God. Proverbs 10:22 says “the blessing of the Lord makes rich, and he adds no sorrow with it’’ this means that blessings from God are good for you, for your health, your mental and emotional state, when God blesses you with something it will bring richness such as peace, love, joy and it will be in alignment with your purpose, your destiny and your vision. It is important to discern and pray about everything that enters your life...

Servants of God

We know that the plans that God has for our lives are good and are meant  to prosper us as the word of God says in Jeremiah 29:11, the concept of us prospering in life is closely linked to us living out our purpose to our full potentials according to Gods will for our lives. God has given us our purposes through our gifts, this includes many kinds of gifts that we each have some may be discovered and others undiscovered. It is important that we all accelerate towards discovering our gifts and working towards manifesting these gifts in order to live out our true callings which will grant us fulfilling lives. We should always keep in mind that what God has called us to do is relevant for such a time as this and by living it out we would play a great role in uplifting humanity and we would be serving the kingdom of God by bringing Gods vision to life. Today I want to focus mainly on the type of gifts that contribute to the functioning of the body of Christ, these are gifts such as ...
