iNyamu's Eldorado...
I was reading through some of
my very old blog posts, when I first arrived on these streets, those still up and those I reverted to draft. It was
such a feeling of nostalgia. The comments and the playful banters, I’ve met
truly awesome people from blogging.
Its 7yrs this month since I
started eldorado, and about 4years since it experienced a ‘Take over’ and I’m glad I let God take the reins.
“Offer unto God what He has placed in
your hand. “What is in your hand” means whatever is in your care or control.
This could be money, possessions, influence, talents, abilities, and more. What
you withhold and retain in your hand reveals what is in your heart. Child of God,
release what you hold. Your Father is waiting to use what he has placed in your
hands” Lisa Beverly.
Releasing my little corner to
Him has turned it into something beyond me… more than myself. It’s more than
the pleasure I get from holding a pen and punching words in anything that can
take words in.
There are little pointers that
show me how beyond me this is…
It’s in the mail from a young
man in a South Asian Islamic nation… asking me about Jesus.
It’s in the person on the
verge of suicide who drops a word after reading a post that brought them back
to reality, purpose and hope.
It’s in the good will I get
from total strangers, the mails that come in just at the right time, and the
words of encouragement from people who see more than I can see sometimes.
It’s in the discovery of self
and the new found confidence, not in what I wear, or how I look… not in the
number of boys that want to hang in my corner or how I can take perfect
selfies… but a confidence in the love of
God so real and true that He trust me enough to use me…
It’s in the book that’s been
birthed from the core of me… yes; I’m in labor right now, expect the baby soon :) and so much more.
For these and more, I’m
thankful, that my little corner, the thing that gives me joy to do, is
something God see as worthy enough to use for His purpose.
For everyone reading
this… Thank you!
Matthew 19:29 NIV
ReplyDeleteAnd everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or fields for my sake will receive a hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life.
Mark 10:29-30 AMP
Jesus said, Truly I tell you, there is no one who has given up and left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or lands for My sake and for the Gospel’s, who will not receive a hundred times as much now in this time—houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions—and in the age to come, eternal life.
That's the promise for your 'Take over'. So keep sowing, sacrificing more deeply, believing and enduring (the persecution part) and surely your plenteous harvest will come, in your lifetime.
Happy blog/ ministry anniversary.
