To be a blessing or a curse- it is a choice

The day after I completed college, I was sitting in the house listening to the radio. I was listening to God too. It was that time when you have so many questions in your mind and heart, so many uncertainties, then you realise that often, God does not lead us with a floodlight or spotlight. He leads us with a lamp for our feet. ONE DAY AT A TIME. ONE STEP AT A TIME.

God did not immediately remove the fears from my mind. Neither did He answer all my questions right then. That was like six months ago. He is still answering some even today.

Joel Osteen preached on life being all about choices. I can choose to listen to the voice of fear-or that of faith. I can choose to believe God- or the devil. I can choose to believe my family record, or the Central Bureau of Statistics, or some research findings. Or I can choose to move in faith, believing and acting like nothing is going to go wrong. Because nothing will. That was my word.

Everything was pulling away at the seams. But I could choose to carry around like everything was alright. That is not denial. By the world’s standards it is. But I am not just denying facts. I KNOW WHOM I HAVE BELIEVED…and I am persuaded that He is able to bring to completion the good work He begun in me.

This is the song that followed. Beautiful. Powerful. Insightful.

We can all choose to leave a legacy of a blessing wherever we go.

SONG:THE BLESSING
By John Waller

Let it be said of us while we walked among the living
Let it be said of us by the ones we leave behind
Let it be said of us that we lived to be a blessing for life

Let if be said of us that we gave to reach the dying
Let if be said of us by the fruit we leave behind
Let if be said of us that our legacy is blessing for life

This day you set life you set death right before us
This day every blessing and curse is a choice now
And we will choose to be a blessing for life

Let if be said of us that our hearts belonged to Jesus
Let if be said of us that we spoke the words of life
Let if be said of us that our heritage is blessing for life

For your Kingdom
For the sake of every nation
