Morning Charge

There is a popular saying that no one knows it all. And indeed, there are times when you can be in a fix, completely bereft of what to do. That is where counsel or advice comes in.

However, counsel could be a double-edged sword. That is, it could be good counsel that leads to a productive end or bad counsel that leads to a destructive end.

During the Persian empire when Ahasuerus was king, a proud official named Haman took strong dislike for Mordecai, a Jew who attended to the gate, because Mordecai refused to bow down to him. Angry and with a hurt ego, Haman was unsure how to deal with Mordecai.

Upon narrating this to his wife and friends, Haman added that all his achievements and lofty position in the kingdom was “…worth nothing as long as I see Mordecai the Jew just sitting there at the palace gate.” (Esther 5:13)

In verse 14 of the same chapter, ‘Haman's wife and friends said to him, “Have a gallows built about 22 meters high, and tomorrow morning ask the king to hang Mordecai there. Then later, you can have dinner with the king....” This seemed like a good idea to Haman, and he had the gallows built.’

It seemed like a good idea to Haman to have an innocent person hanged because he not only had a wicked heart, but that wicked heart was fed by bad counsel from his wife and friends.

In case you are unfamiliar with that story, God intervened through Queen Esther, one of the king’s wives (who was also a Jew), and Haman was the one hung in the gallows.

Why not pause and consider yourself for a moment: who do you receive counsel from? What is the moral compass and character of the people from whom you receive counsel? Do they provide you with godly counsel? Do they advise you from an objective point of view, even if it does not sit well with you?

In Deuteronomy 30:19, Moses said to the Israelites: “...I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live.” Now, that is a classic example of good counsel; one that will lead to peace, prosperity, good neighbourliness, and life.

So, take heed to yourself and from whom you receive counsel. It could literally just be the difference between life and death for you.

May God be in your day today 🤗🤗

MORNING CHARGE!!!

I saw a quote online that says, “A rat who bites & blows a gentle breeze on your wound is more dangerous than a scorpion that stings and goes away.”

Not too long ago, I witnessed a scene where some people were singing the praises of another person whom I know that they disliked. And as I was taking in the whole scene, that was when the above adage flashed through my mind.

Unfortunately, we don’t have a third eye to see through what people harbour in their hearts. And that is where a spirit of discernment is vital.

While celebrating the Passover, read the following exchange that transpired between Jesus and His disciples: ‘When Jesus was eating with his twelve disciples that evening, he said, “One of you will surely hand me over to my enemies.” The disciples were very sad, and each one said to Jesus, “Lord, you can't mean me!” He answered, “One of you men who has eaten with me from this dish will betray me.” (Matthew 26:20-23 CEV).

It’s unfortunate, but that is the sad reality of life; that there could be instances where you will have in your circle people who appear to be cheering you on and being all supportive, but they have sinister motive and ill will towards you, especially when you seem to be making progress in life.

They will say to you, like King Herod said to the Wise Men from the East, ‘“Go and search carefully for the young Child, and when you have found Him, bring back word to me, that I may come and worship Him also.” (Matthew 2:8). Meanwhile, their goal is to kill that child or render his destiny useless.

I pray that God will expose such persons and their sinister motives. And that their plans will not see the light of day.

While you should not live your life in fear or suspicion of everyone, you should be discerning. At a church programme last night, the preacher mentioned that we should develop our capability to see (spiritually) and to hear from God. And in caae you are not there yet, ensure you have someone with such abilities.

In Colossians 3:8, the Bible says that our lives are hidden with Christ in God. And in Matthew 15:13, Jesus said that every plant which God has not planted will be uprooted. Therefore live secure, for your life is hidden with Christ in God.

May God be in your day today 🤗🤗

Morning Charge

I have, of late, become more intentional and deliberate in my use of the phrase ‘God willing’.

It’s not a cliché nor some fanciful use of expression; but it is out of a deep realization that if God does not will, there is nothing I can do.

'Look here, you people who say, “Today or tomorrow we are going to such and such a town, stay there a year, and open up a profitable business.” How do you know what is going to happen tomorrow? For the length of your lives is as uncertain as the morning fog—now you see it; soon it is gone. What you ought to say is, “If the Lord wants us to, we shall live and do this or that.” Otherwise you will be bragging about your own plans, and such self-confidence never pleases God.' (James 4:13-16 TLB).

Read the lyrics below of a country song (I couldn’t search out the artist, sadly) that I have been listening to recently.

“I’ve always been a map man. I like to know the way. I need a planned-out journey for the start of every day. I like the signs and signposts; the certainty they bring, the comfort in knowing what the future is gonna say. I’ve spent a lifetime planning, trying to foresee the bends, avoiding all the drop offs where the easy highway ends. I thought my faith was measured by how well I understood the layout of the forest, the weakness of the wood. But I’m learning how to walk on the unmarked roads with you, where the only map I’m holding is the faith to see me through. There are no signs for comfort, just the whisper of my name. A quiet reassurance that you’re in this trusting game, and every step is worship, every breath a simple prayer. On these unmarked roads, I know you’re there. True direction isn’t seen. It’s believing in the Guide. It’s that quiet, steady presence walking right here by my side on these unmarked roads.”

The Apostle James asked the question: how do you know what is going to happen tomorrow?

While it is good and advisable to plan, realise that the roads of life are unmarked. True direction isn’t seen; it’s believing in the Guide. And leaning on the Guide, you can of yourself do nothing unless He wills you to.

May God be in your day today 🤗🤗
