I admit that, I can be a bit overractive! Maybe, if I was born into today’s culture of ‘name it & medicate it’, they would have diagnosed me of ADHD. I just love to be on the move. This & that must all be going on at the same time. One anvil on the fire isn’t my thing! And please, spare me the details of anything; my pattern is to pop in, savour the moment, motivate for momentum & go off to the next!
I thrive on noise, passion, action, speed, crowd, results & more! Sometimes it’s difficult to differentiate between the adrenaline & the anointing! If I am not on the go, it’s a dull moment. My relief is in my audience response. I live for momentous moments! No games! No recreation! Small talks are a challenge! And ‘social life’? Ha! The waves are here & it’s my turn to ride them!
I’m sure you’re chuckling! So apt? Yea, you can see you in me! The hustler! Always networking! Fighting for life & career promotion! And the social media pull! Restless! Goal oriented! Next level obsessed! Wow! Life only feels good when it’s happening! The show got to go on & the applause has to keep rising! Every good thing must be escalated & amplified! The world needs us & urgently too! To slow down appears unthinkable!
Don’t stop; but just take a moment!
This Christmas season: Slow down! Take a deep breath! Listen to your inner man! Have a quiet fellowship with you! Allow a fresh breath of the Holy Spirit! Yes, just take a moment!
-a- you’ll have a clearer perspective of who you’re becoming!
-b- you’ll be able to build real & deeper intimacy with God!
-c- you’ll have greater clarity on the assignment before you!
-d- you’ll enjoy healthier relationship with family & friends!
-e- you’ll make more rational & less emotion driven decisions!
-f- you’ll gain insight into the future & how to prepare for it!
-g- you’ll savour life & find fulfilment in the blessings of God!
Let it begin with silence!
“Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.”
Ps 46:10 (KJV)
Add a little rest!
“Quiet down, far–flung ocean islands. Listen! Sit down and rest, everyone. Recover your strength. Gather around me. Say what’s on your heart. Together let’s decide what’s right”. – Isa 41:1 (MSG)
It’s ok to meditate too!
“I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy works; I muse on the work of thy hands.” – Ps 143:5 (KJV)
But nothing beats sitting at his feet!
“I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.
“My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning.” – Ps 130:5-6 (KJV)
Do I expect any dividend?
“But those who wait upon God get fresh strength.They spread their wings and soar like eagles,They run and don’t get tired,they walk and don’t lag behind.” – Isa 40:31 (MSG)
Prayer
The Lord enrich your life in a new way! No more stress & tension! Let the beauty of grace overshadow your life in Jesus Christ name!
Much Love
