2014 My Year My Season

Hi! It's has been quite a long minute between my last blog and yes this is my first post in 2014! My title may seem quite late especially since in a few days we bid the first quarter of 2014 good bye, my, time has flown so fast!! I have no good reason for being weary on blogging this year really, I could have done it on 7th Feb when my bundle of joy was turning  terrific two! But no I just didn't get my mojo right. However today, have been more than compelled to revisit this passion before the year is half way and I start calling myself lazy :-)

So here we go, it is 2014 my year  & my season! I must confess before I go further that it doesn't really feel like me to declare it this boldly, but oh,well there I said it, I decreed it and have permanently declared it! #Thunderclap for me! It surely feels different in a special way thou. I am a few hours to my birthday anniversary and I get to turn the big 30!!! ya ay:-) Grateful to God for the mercies, love, protection, provision, healing, guidance, fellowship, beautiful friendships, career milestones and I pray I have become the woman she intended me to be at this hour. I have so much to thank God for, but let me mention the peace within my heart, the joy I feel as a mother and the dreams in my heart that I see one by one getting realized are some of the amazing blessings I encounter daily. It is also around one and a half years since I totally made the decision to belong to the Kingdom, and if you are out there, still trying to figure it out, thinking you cannot make it and all...word of advise from a sister who loves you, it's not about your efforts really, come and experience His love and amazing grace. Your life will never be the same once you invite Him and let go of everything. Once God takes over, he first introduces you to Him and his personality and believe you me things you thought you were struggling with, will be  completely defeated because He is the Lord of Lords and there is no other like Him! Mighty, Powerful and Everlasting God! So my beloved, come, taste and see that the Lord is so good!

So this post is going to glorify my walk with Jesus and the blessings that have flowed in my life as I turn a new year older.As we crossed over to 2014 I did  something different with a couple of friends. I was tired of the same old cycle in my life and I desperately wanted things to change and to be different in my coming year. I wrote a couple of  requests to God on my notebook and decided to do a fast & prayer as I approached the gates of 2014. You know a time reaches and you just want to break and run free from it all!!! I had had enough of the mediocre life and it was time to take back what belongs to me, and my didn't I cry to God !!! God did not intend for me to feel being pulled out and stretched, I believed there is what He had planned for me, but something was wrong somewhere as my spiritual father puts it, "it's an error for a child of God to be lacking 'food' ". Well, let's say I was in every perfect mood to deal with this 'error'. According to the book of John 10:10, the word declares that~ "The thief comes only to steal, slaughter, and destroy. I've come that they may have life, and have it abundantly." So if Jesus came that I may have a rich life and satisfying one, why did I feel cheated? Where am I missing the point? I like how Myles Munroe describes prayer in his book "Understanding the purpose and power of Prayer" and he says, "Prayer is man giving God the legal right and permission to interfere in earth's affair." When you make that decision to pray, you have given heaven,an earthly license to influence earth! So if  we go back to my verse John 10:10 and read in context we find out that in verse 9, Jesus says,"I am the door; if anyone enters through Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture."

 This simple yet powerful revelation reminded me to speak the word of John 10:10 over my situation and I said " I have accepted you Jesus in my life, come live within me,save me, let me find pasture and not only have eternal life but have it abundantly in Jesus name I pray." You can say this prayer with me, and I hope you are willing to let go and let God in your life. It is important for us to recognize what works best for us is God's will in our lives and so each time you supplicate your requests through prayer, pray with that understanding,that His will is the best for you. If a certain engagement didn't work out for you and the door was shut,  dust off knowing that God has you for the long haul and as you keep in tune with Him ,you will be amazed with the surprises that He keeps unwrapping for you.

As I turn to this great age, God has confirmed my calling, he has reminded me of the dreams that he put in my heart from a very young age,only that I was not in tune with him to listen to what he was saying about my life. All the same I am grateful as I come to this understanding and I am now flexible and open to do things His way. I am now happy in being my own, crafting my path, working hard at it but the best part of it all is knowing  it is the will of God over my life. So as I turn the page a new to a great chapter in my life, I plan to seek God on all my decisions, involve Him fully and rely on His word. I want to evolve to the Proverbs 31 woman. He has been amazing, my heart has been singing Imela through and through and that is why I know this is my year & my season.  I call upon His Holy name in my assignments, committing them entirely unto Him and saying, "am your vessel ,use me Lord to glorify your Kingdom".You too are blessed and God loves you so much, give Him a chance to run your life.

I love you, and I decree a year of fruitfulness and God's faithfulness over your life and mine.

He is able and faithful to keep His promises!
