He Is, therefore I am

 "I AM"

I AM is the name of God, for God is the I AM that I AM.

He is the great I AM.

It is a spiritual law that we must not call the name of the Lord in vain.

To call the name of the Lord in vain is to swear in Gods name 

It can also be to use the Lord's name wrongly.

The instruction not to call the Lord's name in vain is basically to inform us we must respect the name of the Lord.

To respect God's name is to be careful what we associate God's name with.

Be careful what you put after the words I AM, for I AM is the name of God.

When we put the right words after the I AM it glorifies God and it blesses us.

When we put the wrong words after I AM its disrespectful to the Lord and it doesn't do us any favor.

When God revealed Himself to Moses as the "I AM" the I AM THAT I AM, it was a revelation that preceded some of the greatest miracles recorded in human history.

I AM means God is all sufficient.

I AM means God is everything we will ever need and want.

I AM means God doesn't need anyone but everyone needs God.

I AM means God is in a league all by Himself.

I AM means God is always for us, our God who says YES to us in all positive things.

I AM THAT I AM means He is the One who is all in all to us by Himself.

We should be aligned with the I AM that I AM.

It is what He wants for you, to be aligned with Him.

When we are aligned with Hm that which He is flows into us.

To be aligned with God is to be well positioned and connected to Him, it has a lot to do with our proximity to Him.

Get close to God, be aligned with Him.

When we are aligned to God we come into a whole new realm and level spiritually.

When we are aligned to God we have a sense of times and seasons and secret things.

Alignment with God comes through Jesus Christ and the work of God's Spirit.

Human beings were originally created in God's image and likeness.

As God is, so was Adam and Eve.

As God is, so is humanity meant to be.

As God is, so are you and I meant to be.

In Christ it is so.

In Him we live, move and have our being.

He is, therefore we are.

He is, therefor I am.

Halleluyah!

Rising From The Rubble

In this life we are building.

Daily we build.

We build spiritually just as we build physically.

God is a Master builder and we can work with Him to get good outcomes for our lives.

We are spiritual craftsmen.

Be a skilled one.

Our lives can be likened to a building.

To build properly and effectively, the builder of the building must be intentional about his work. 

If the builder is not intentional he won't get anywhere.

In life you have to be intentional about what you want to do, achieve, pursue and how you use your time.

With every decision you make daily you are building.

With every choice you are making you are building.

Our choices and decisions can be likened to building blocks with which we are using to erect the building of our lives.

Build wisely.

Your earthly building will have a spiritual and eternal impact too, so build well and build wisely.

The builder also needs a blueprint for the building he is trying to put up.

Without a blueprint the construction will very likely go wrong.

The blueprint is the pattern the builders look to and follow for the building to turn out right.

The blueprint must be followed with intention.

Buildings that have been erected can also be brought down.

Buildings can be destroyed through wars, attacks, faulty work, poor foundations, and use of inferior materials when putting up the building.

When a building collapses for whatever reason, there may be a need to rebuild on that spot.

There will be a need to rebuild from or through the rubble on the ground.

When we are cut down by the enemy and have come crashing down, the story doesn't end there.

We can rebuild.

It's just like a tree.

If a tree has been cut down, as long as its roots are still in the ground, so long as its stomp has not been uprooted, at the scent of water, life and restoration begins for what is remaining of that tree.

The tree begins to grow, flourish and blossom again!

Out of the ashes of a dead yesterday, a glorious future can arise for you.

Out of the ashes of a dying today, a glorious destiny can begin to manifest.

Out of the rubble of wrong choices, mistakes and bad decisions, you can begin to rebuild.

You can build better, build smarter by following your blue print.

God has a prophetic blue print for your life, a divine blue print in the heavens that will make you emerge bigger, better and stronger than ever before when followed.

The rubble  reflects experience not failure.

The ashes show preparation not defeat.

The rubble shows process not tragedy.

The ashes are evidence of a journey not the end.

Ashes and rubbles show value not worthlessness.

Ashes and rubbles do not tell the end of our story, they are evidence the impossible can be made possible.

The rubbles are a catalog of experience, effort, understanding and knowledge we have under our belt with which we can rebuild and they help us rebuild with more expertise and accuracy.

Ashes and rubbles can be another chance, another opportunity when God is with us.

You are not meant to stay crying, keep lamenting, or get stuck in the ashes and rubbles of fallen aspects of your life.

Ashes and rubbles may reveal we have enemies, but they don't have to stop us. 

They should be our stepping stones to something better.

May God give us beauty for ashes!

Just has we read of Nehemiah who rebuilt the walls of Jerusalem, and completed and finished it with the speed of grace in 52 days, God can grace us too, to build and complete in good time!

 

Destiny & The Galloping Horse

Our life on this earth is the sum total of what we have done with the time allocated to us while we are here on earth.

Time is important to human beings.

We have a certain amount of time to operate with, we don't have all the time in the world because we don't live on earth forever.

It's popularly said that time flies. I can understand that.

I liken time to a galloping horse.

A galloping horse is a speeding horse.

As horses are associated with speed, so does time gallop away with each second, minute, and hour.

Your time on earth is time dependent, liken yourself riding on the horse of time.

The horse of time gallops with each of us on it.

From birth to old age we are visible on the horse of time, when our time is up on this earthly plane the horse of time rides off into the life hereafter with us on it and we are no longer visible on the earth.

Of course, this is a figure of speech, a simile used to convey my thoughts; not a doctrine.

Since human beings are associated with and limited to time in many respects, our destiny is time dependent.

Your destiny is what the divine, your creator, God has predetermined you should achieve on this earth.

There are beautiful things ascribed to you in this life.

Those great and predestined things assigned to your life is your destiny.

Since your destiny is time dependent you will do well to strive for it, reach for it in good time.

Your destiny is linked to your life.

If you lose your life, you've lost your destiny.

You need your life to fulfill your destiny.

On that horse of time rides your destiny too.

Your destiny rides with you.

Well, hopefully.

If you don't recognize you have a destiny you won't manifest it as you ride and journey through life.

Your destiny should be on a galloping horse along with you.

Horses are symbols of courage, strength, dignity, royalty, elegance, dominion, and speed.

Qualities your destiny should also reflect.

Don't be ignorant of your destiny.

You have to make decisions that will make that destiny manifest.

The earlier the better.

Don't let that destiny be severed from you.

Don't let that destiny crawl on the ground.

It leads to slowness, delay and denials.

"There is an evil I have seen under the sun,
As an error proceeding from the ruler:
6 Folly is set in great dignity,
While the rich sit in a lowly place.
7 I have seen servants on horses,
While princes walk on the ground like servants"

May your destiny ride in grand style on a speeding horse!
