I will be the first to admit that waiting is not my strength for multiple of reasons, I like to have control, I thrive under pressure and love to keep things moving. But ever since my relationship with God things have changed dramatically and I give it all up to Jesus because I do not recognise myself anymore and I love it!

Guys waiting on God is beautiful, it is a journey that is intended to refine us, to build and most importantly to place our focus on God. Waiting in your own strength is horrendous but the Holy Spirit that has given us patience as one of His fruits and self control helps us to wait on God with expectancy while enjoying the ride toward what it. It is actually not about the promise or the blessing but it is much more to do with how we journey through life with the Holy Spirit. Remember it is not a destination, so the blessing is not the “finishing point” but rather a beginning of something new. After the blessing there will be another blessing afterwards it is recurring for as long as we are alive.

Therefore, it is important to remember that it is not and will never be about the blessing or even the promise it is really about the Blesser, the Promise Maker, God Himself. Jesus of course needed to save us, He was blessed to be the Chosen One that dies for humanity and has established eternal life for us all if we believe in Him but to Him Jesus it was really about obeying the Father. His focused was and will always be God the Father, His Will, His desire Him alone it the main priority.

Our blessings can easily become our idols because we shift our focus from the Blesser to the blessing so the waiting season helps us to dig deep, to seek first the Kingdom of God and all these other things will be added to us. The waiting helps us to trust, focus and love God first and let Him be our anchor, make His presence enough. So trusting that even if the blessing does not come (which we know it will because God is faithful to His Word) it will still be okay because God by Himself is enough His existence is what we desire the most.

So I encourage us to love God and ask Him to love Him more than anything, more than the blessing itself, and we will experience that God’s presence is really what we seek after. So because it is not always easy we should make it a habit to repent and ask God to forgive us for shifting our focus from Him and thank Him and allow Him to change our focus and renew our minds, our hearts and intentions.

Sooo first time on here since the year of 2024 and you already know sis went through some growing and pruning over the last few months but man has it been worth it! God has been so faithful and so consistent with me that I love now living absolutely dependent upon Him like genuinely I have seen that pruning seasons are so important. God teaches you to trust Him completely and it mostly happens when you do not have any other choice but to trust Him. But it gets better when you embrace the pruning because you end up living dependent on God and as it should because I have now realised it is just so much better doing life with God, through God, in God and for God. Making it about Him makes things just so meaningful and fulfilling. Indeed when I have God I have everything.

That was a long introduction but you cannot blame me after being away for so long, the topic I want to discuss is actually about being blessed to be a blessing. Up until recently the Holy Spirit has shown me that it is not about me, like ofcourse God will bless me it is what He desires always but I have realised that the blessings that come from God sometimes have very little to do about me and more about the impact it will have on other people. The blessings are from God, and for His Glory and honestly I would not have it any other way, it is so fulfilling so rewarding so completing to live for God because you realise it is not about you, and it has never been about you. I know it seems rather odd because I mean if it is not about me where is the joy in that? where is the reward? but having it not be about you releases and frees you from so much burden, worry and stress of what why how when etc.

I now have the confidence that things will and are working out together for my good and that I do not have to control it, if it is of God it will be so beautiful and will exceed my expectations. Like my pastor always says, God will do it in His timing, in His way, for His Glory and that is how I like it.

I really want to say that it is easy to focus on God but I would be lying, everything in us urges us to focus on ourselves, on our strength, abilities, challenges, the external things really and in most cases on things that we have no complete control over. The accuser wants us to place our focus on our weaknesses, incapabilities and flesh because taking our focus off God makes us sink just like Peter. I almost rejected God’s blessing because I thought I was not able and did not qualify, I was scared but then I read what God said to Isaac in Genesis 26 when He said for Isaac to not go to Egypt but to remain in the land where there was famine. God told Isaac to remain in the place where he wanted to run from by promising Isaac that He will be with him and will bless him.

Now God did not tell Isaac to do the one thing he did not want to do and promised Isaac that everything will be okay and that the famine will end etc. but rather God gave His Word as insurance to say that He will be with Isaac and on top of that will bless him. I can understand now that God has me in places that scare me and gives me opportunities that terrify me because He is able to. God does not bless me based on my capacity or knowledge or anything that has to do with me really but solely based on Him and what He can do, nothing is hard for God in fact for God it is so easy because He is God. He is Sovereign and All Powerful He is Self Sufficient, now placing my focus on God gives me strength and courage. It does not have to scare me because my God is able.

He calls me to do things that are far beyond my reach because He is with me and will bless me, God promotes me because of Him meaning I will do this thing that scares me because God is with me and will bless me not because I can do this thing or have the wisdom or resources for it but solely because God is with me. Him being with me places me at an advantage, Him being with me makes me victorious, His presence brings me peace I do not have to fight or defend myself because He will do that for me and even exceed my expectations. He is the focus not me.

Often times when experiencing tragic situations or things that hurt us beyond our comprehension we like to question God and His presence. As if He is only with us during the comforting and great times but God changes not. I experienced something traumatic in the last week and my first thought was why did God allow that to happen, the response that the Holy Spirit gave me is that God was still in control even in that tragedy, Just like God did not prevent Daniel and his mates from being thrown into the fiery furnace what God did was much greater as He showed His reliability even in our worst situations. God protected them in the fire!

I like to ask God to take control in my life, and so I should right? but at times our human pride like to think that we are the ones in control, thus when we experience situations where we have no control over we wonder if God really is in control when in actual fact He has been in control all this time and still remains in control in impossible of situations. God is glorified more in circumstances that are impossible, where it is vivid that I took no part in that, but those situations do not happen often, so we overlook the fact that God is in control even when I am showering, or eating or washing dishes. Things that I believe I can do by my own strength not realising that no sis it is God who enables us to wash those dishes and even own those dishes to begin with.

So instead of questioning God’s presence, we should question our reliance and dependance upon His Spirit that is in us and that surround us, He is reliable and in control God is consistent at being God He is faithful and will always be there.

Before we go any further I would like to sincerely apologise for not posting much here, it is inexcusable and will not even attempt to justify my absence. But I come with Good News, God is still Good and He Alone is still seated on the Throne. He remains All Powerful, All Sufficient and in control, He indeed changes not! Now back to the topic at hand, it is easy being God, this sounds kind of controversial like how can someone say it is easy being God without them having experience what it is like being God.

Well my response is that no I am not God and I am glad that there is only One God who has been God from the very beginning, in fact He is the beginning and the end! I boldly say that it is easy being God because often times we like to reduce God to our size or a reduced image of Himself and thus making us limit God. For instance I was reading a psalm which David wrote to glorify God saying He parted Red Sea and spoke about all the Wow things that God has done including creating Heaven and Earth from nothing.

It dawned on me that God has been God forever, it is so easy for God to part the Red Sea because, of course the sea will obey its Creator. God did not sweat when creating the universe, He simply said “Let there be light” and it happened God did not have to exercise first or practice He is God, it is Who He is. I love that God does not explain Himself to Moses, He just said “I Am the Great I Am” God is limitless, doing miracles is something jaw dropping for us but for God it is easy and effortless.

I say we should stop limiting this Great God, and continue to trust Him for the impossible, because only in Him they become possible. He asked is anything too hard for Him? and certainly it is so easy for God to be God because that is Who He is.
