The Other Room
"But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary, and they shall walk, and not faint".
Ordinarily, we think of waiting as a passive action. But not in this verse. It's active. When we wait on the Lord, we are strengthened and enabled to soar above our circumstances. There is a very old myth that when an eagle grows old, they fly high up into the high places where they lose all its feathers. They stay there until its feather grows back. They become renewed. As I said, it is a myth, but the truth is, the verse does not say we renew our strength like the eagle does. It says our strength is renewed so that we have the strength of eagles!
Now my point exactly, there is always a need to separate ourselves once in a while to pour out the old wine and take in new wine. We are made for more and to access that more, we have to fly high into the high places just like the eagle, we deliberately lose our old feathers of all our achievements, accolades, medals, and press in for more of God from the Other Room.
The Other Room isn't a place of pleasure, it's a place where one combat with God until your Life fully becomes a perfect expression of His will ( remember how Jacob fought with God alone until God changed his name and he had other major encounters). Well, Many believers dread this place, especially me most of the time🤧 and I can't place WHY. There is a need to shut the doors of those familiar and convenient rooms and move intentionally to the Other Room( a place of spiritual combat). The intensity of the fire, fellowship, and intimacy we could experience is incomparable. God opens totally up to us because He sees our desperation to Stay and abide alone with Him. It's not an easy adventure but the Other room is a place of Encounters and Fulfillment.
Stay tuned for moreðŸ™âœ

Worries and disappointment make the heart frail... You become a shadow of yourself. No wonder the Bible says;
"Look at the birds of the air: They do not sow or reap or gather into barns—and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?  Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? And why do you worry about clothes? Consider how the lilies of the field grow: They do not labor or spin.…"
So why fuss over what you cannot change? Why not surrender totally to the one who has called you most valuable? He provides for the birds He will do much more for you. Shalom.

Make no mistake about your life... You are responsible to make that decision that will change the course of your life. Have the guts to make your life count. I know you must have been through a lot and you got stained, damaged, and ridiculed in the process but sis, bros, biko, look beyond them. Christ looked beyond your sins, hence the reason he made a go-ahead with the redemption plan. I bet you, the redemption plan was no joke, we didn't even merit it but he executed the plan, every great and little detail of it with his full chest.
You can't just suck yourself down, feeling battered, dead, lost, rejected, as if the redemption plan was all a waste or a fable... Embrace the love he lavished on you on the cross with your full chest. That was where Jesus redefined, reformed, and reinvented our lives. No power of hell can stop the love he has for you. Your life is a good and valuable one. God is still mindful of You. Shalom.

THANKFUL = TANKFUL
Let me start with pidgin pleaseðŸ™ðŸ˜„... "Nothing dey pain passes somebody wey no dey grateful" seriously, we humans often avoid individuals with a such ungrateful character that we utterly never wish we ever come in contact with them again. Not to talk about God, Kai God faced a lot, especially with the children of Israelite, this minute they praise God, the next second they encounter one slight challenge, God and Moses would be served "Breakfast"😄😄
They complain at any given opportunity, forgetting how this same God had pulled them through some life-threatening situation...hmm.
You really can't get anything from God by complaining, nagging, etc. It only shows how you belittle God in the face of that challenge... Like those grasshoppers reporters🤧 I mean those spies that brought bad reports that they are like grasshoppers before the inhabitants of the land they went to spy. Yes, they indirectly called God grasshoppers, meaning God cannot give the land to them as a possession... The inhabitant was much more powerful than God...phew🤧
I'm happy Jesus led by example as the author and finisher of our faith. When He was faced with an ugly emergency of feeding the crowd. He had just a few loaves of bread and fish. Jesus didn't complain or start dragging God into the mud. He simply gave thanks and behold the miracle that follows. After the prayer of Thanksgiving, there was an increment in multiplication. The crowd is to their full and there were leftovers.
That's the power of Thanksgiving. Remember the one leper who came back to thank Jesus after he received his healing? Christ sealed his healing permanently... Thanksgiving is very essential even in our walk with God. Even when you don't understand your next move, just thank him and He will flood your path with light.
Thanksgiving creates room for increment. So if you want your 'Tank' to be filled just give God thanks. Acknowledge him for what he has done in the past, acknowledge His awesomeness, and also thank Him in advance for what you are yet to receive.
Always remember that a thankful heart will receive tankful Blessings. God has never failed, He is not planning to fail because it's your turn to be blessed. Your life is a meaningful one and God will always Love unconditionally. Shalom.
Love you particularly,
