{ Jesus, hope for humanity. }

J E S U S.

there is nothing like His name,

and no one like His nature.

He is, the hope for humanity.

{ In His time / I will wait. }

all along, I’ve been trusting Him with my best,
all along I’ve been putting my faith in making my way work,
all along I’ve been desiring what I deemed was the greatest.

And all this while, He wanted me to trust Him with His best,
all this while He wanted me to put my faith in making His way work,
all this while, He has been desiring what He knows is greater than one can ever deserve.

“You have taught me to wait on You, and though it is a long journey to walk through, You never once gave in with impatience but rather letting me in on the beautiful things when a woman trusts You. This is what it is like living in Your time. All things cannot help but be beautiful.

I will wait.”

{ Ministry starts at home. Pt. 2 )

it is a easier to do ministry in church as the setting is surrounded by the unlimited access of His word, with the backing of a church environment and anointing hitting you without even budging. the Amen’s are freely thrown out and agreement of His word is at it’s peak.

after receiving so much, one goes home, and there i personally find, is where everything that we have taken in is finally placed out and put to the test of where one’s heart and faith truly lies. because at home, all guards are down and comfortbility of one’s own actions and thoughts goes full steam without hiding behind a façade.

am in a journey of trusting Him and His definite grace, to actually be the same person beyond the four walls as it is at home. to not just be complacent with what is being taught and heard every Sunday, but also apply and have that as a lifestyle from the rest of the week.

Grace is a word that is freely said out of the mouths of many, but one wonders how would it be really like to be lived out as well? because not only it is a revolutionized message, but a Person that we draw all enabling’s from.

Walking not by our strength, but utter reliance and continual renewing of the mind with His word and truth -- becoming more and more like Him as time goes by.

The platform is where grace is received, and the world is where grace is given out.

“Jesus, You are all that I need.”

{ Devo Repost: Taking off the limits - J. Osteen }

We have to remember that God’s promises never return void. His Word stands true forever!

Don’t limit what God can do in your life by focusing on what you see in the natural realm. You have to realize that you serve a supernatural God, and just because you don’t see a way doesn’t mean that God doesn’t have a way.

If you’ll shift your focus from this limited realm and start looking at God’s supernatural realm, you’ll see His unlimited possibilities for your future.

Take the limits off by setting your thoughts on what Almighty God can do in your life today!

{ Never good with goodbyes / Trust among the change }

never good with goodbyes. am kindda like a late bloomer – though one maybe touched or hurting of any sort, it only stays in there for awhile before it starts to lurk out on the eyes. and, it only happens behind close doors and not for anyone’s eyes but His (who has seen the severity of it all beyond the supply of clinex).

very rarely that a closet emo such as myself would express what is internal to a more external form. does get a tad misleading as men’s determined factor is of the outside as it does take a longer drive to head into one’s heart.

with all the changes going on, the only dependency is His consistency in one’s life. He simply never changes or wavers with His goodness, faithfulness and grace. As a matter a fact, our realization of what He has already supplied is getting clearer each time.

Am thankful for the leaders that He has placed over me throughout the different seasons. One of which is M, who has been the most gracious, patient, kind and encouraging bossman to work with. For one to have the upmost faith even in your weakness or newness to the position, goes to show that faith takes us a long way, and that is the way to success and growth.

Am undeservingly blessed to have learned so much for just this year and a half, much which which one desires to become. If this is just a glimpse of what His grace is also like being full time at the marketplace ministry, and if one has already tasted His goodness, then whatever He has installed in the days to come will be impossibly above and beyond what one’s natural self can even dare to imagine.

Not saying that He always comes in a big bang or fully anointed setting with the spiritual goose bumps going off, but rather, He has shown me what trust is really all about:

To trust Him is His character over our requests,

To trust Him is His goodness over our fears,

To trust Him is His faithfulness over our doubts,

To trust Him is His ability over our weaknesses,

To trust Him is His glory over our confidence,

To trust Him is His grace over our struggles,

And to trust Him is His love over all else.

{ I Desire Jesus. Pt. 2 }

"my heart leans in, my soul must sing,

You are all glorious."

- hillsong (i desire Jesus)

and this is how our worship is all about -- not glorying of what Jesus can do, but rather just Jesus... the Person Himself.

this very Man that everything is build upon, and this very Savior who's very existence changed the fate of all man kind. if He was not in our story, our existence would never become one that is new, bought, righteous, free, and imputed with every drop of His goodness, faithfulness, grace and love that knows no end.

even in the waiting room, being gloriously saved is already a miracle in itself. 

and because of that very truth, we can lift up our hands, look up with our eyes, worship with our voices, and open our hearts to the heavens and just soak in every bit of His presence.

this is my desire... Jesus.

{ God's perfect timing. Pt. 2 }

"You are not forgotten. God sees you.
In His perfect time, you will see Him do what only He can do."

- S. Walsh

indeed, at the right time, He will personally make it happen.
and our faith in Him, He will not put it to waste.

how's that being the very focus of the One who sees all things?

{ Because He's in it, it's perfect. }

there is not perfect family, ministry, work, relationship, life-partner if it didn't have Jesus in it. because He is in it, it is then perfect.

even beyond what we would ever are to dream, ask or inculcate. that is how God like it:

jobs that were once said it cannot be done, that our human mindset has undermine the life of the situation, and that the possible seems like a daydream.

there is simply no area of my life, that i do not need His grace in. simply... none...

"His story is perfection, and I am in Him."
- C. Lentz

{ Grace 24'7. }

there is simply no area in my life, which does not depend on His grace.

{ God's perfect timing. }

“God makes everything happen at the right time.”

as S reminded today, it is only in His timing, where His best happens.
wow, how's that for trusting in His way and will .

{ Worship in Spirit & in Truth. )

“It's who you are and the way you live that count before God.
Your worship must engage your spirit in the pursuit of truth.

That's the kind of people the Father is out looking for:
those who are simply and honestly themselves before him in their worship.

God is sheer being itself—Spirit.
Those who worship Him must do it out of their very being,

their spirits, their true selves, in adoration."

- John 4:24 (Msg)

{ Change - Know Who's on your boat. Pt. 2 }

"to know Who's on the boat, and that He slept through the storm,
means one is enabled and can do so likewise."

{ Change - Know Who's on your boat. }

change seems to be the main event in my current life – some good, some bad and some… unsure. the thought of it can be scary, and the experience, rather daunting. as one is heading into unfamiliar waters, the only thing that is pulling me through is knowing Who’s on my boat.

people tend to look at their fears as a bad thing, but it actually drives us even closer to God because we realize that it is only Him who we can depend on and put our upmost trust and hope in. who else is willing to go all out for you?

man can take risk, but it does not beat sacrifice.

just thankful that though changes are inevitable, the only constant variable is Jesus. He faithfully remains the same; always for us till the end. goes to show our stability lies in the character of our Savior who protects, shields, delivers and comforts all.

He is simply, mighty to save.
