yielded

Hey family. Happy new week. I am so grateful for your love and support. It’s been such a great experience for me because I know that this is part of my purpose. As any vision, a time comes when winds blow and if your feet are not rooted deep enough, you are fanned away. When the Angel of the Lord spoke to Elijah , he said “Arise and eat!” He was addressing his hunger and how it affected his ability to arise. I love that heaven did not expect him to arise and keep moving on an empty stomach. What this means is that, God knows that the vision you carry, your purpose, your stand, is at the mercy of your diet. One who eats anyhow , will die anyhow. Therefore, Elijah, arise and eat. Why? Because there is a journey ahead of you. You cannot journey on a stomach of noodles. You cannot travel on a stomach of porridge! You must eat!!!

If you are pregnant with vision, you ought to feed it or else it dies. Imagine a pregnant woman who does not eat for the entire 9 months? Will she be alive to tell the story? Certainly not. The vision must be fed. This is what has destroyed this generation, people who run with no water, race on an empty stomach, start ministry with no word, marry with no preparation, date with no purpose, just impulsive decision making with no plan to keep the vision alive.

If you read from the beginning of the chapter you discover that Elijah had given up on living. He said to God ,”l have had enough of this! I’m ready to die!” This is a prophet ! Saying he is no longer interested in life! Why? Because the journey of life had exhausted him. We seem to think there’s a group of people who don’t feel the pressures of life, don’t be fooled! The day of adversity comes for every believer. The strength of yesterday is not enough for todays troubles. The bible says when he ate he was nourished for 40 days! It wasn’t depression, it was hunger. He wasn’t truly ready to die, the exhaustion and hunger influenced his words. You are not tired of life, deep down you know you want to be alive tomorrow , you just need to feed on the Word! You are hungry.

“Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone.’”“
‭‭Luke‬ ‭4‬:‭4‬ ‭NIV‬‬

This leads me to this notice. I will be taking a break this whole week to EAT. I’m not stopping neither am l giving up, l am hungry. I want to arise and eat so I can be nourished and strengthened for many days like Elijah. This is the only post we will get this week. We will resume on Monday. You cannot tell someone about how Chinese food tastes if you’ve never eaten Chinese food. I must first eat the word to be able to blog it to you. I believe God is leading me to a season of feeding and as l feed I will show up here and tell you all about it. Yielded stands at the mercy of my diet. Just like an unborn child depends on its mother’s diet.

If you’ve been feeling exhausted , this is your answer , arise and eat. Take retreats if you need to. Seek Him . Soak in worship and sermons. Find out what it takes to stand this season. Eat the scroll, eat books, study! Meditate! Go back to school and learn about how to carry that vision full term. All I’m saying is, eat something! The journey is great! The journey is not for a slice of bread. The journey may require a whole loaf! Prepare. Pack your lunch tin and water. We are about to walk to Canaan!

You know l love you! See you on Monday. I will take my leave for the buffet! ❤️

Hey family! It’s chilled Thursday! You know, having harmless godly fun, relaxing, being intentional about rest is something many Christians have to learn. Going for a holiday is okay, taking yourself out for coffee or dinner is okay. I’m not saying do all this and stop praying NO! I’m saying do it while praying. I started off my year with a retreat at a remote place. No fancy things, no city buzz, no tv or all these cute little things you find in Joburg, just myself and my friends flogging our destiny. It was also my time of just getting into my thoughts. Many of us can’t even find direction because we don’t sit down to think. We think on the train. Think on our way to work. Think while driving. We rarely sit and take him to reflect or make sober decisions. I want to encourage you today, if you’ve been really working hard, don’t feel bad for resting. Don’t feel bad for spoiling yourself with a new shoe (if you’re like me) , a fresh set of manicure, new suit. Don’t feel bad for resting. Jesus rested on the boat.

That’s us at prayer retreat camp!! I had even gone offline sometimes it’s the phone that doesn’t allow us to rest! I have planned to go for another one. BE INTENTIONAL about your well-being . Rest is biblical. You need that body to push heaven’s purpose for you. Anyhoo, I know some of you don’t like spending your money on anything.. eh I dunno how else to help you 😂 !! So here’s a free movie! Grab your popcorn and let’s chill!

Hey family. I’m so sorry for posting late but I’m sure the family knows what what!! It’s Worship Wednesday. Here’s todays song suggestions !! You know, I love you so much! ❤️

Simply click the link … see you tomorrow for our chilled Thursday!!!❤️

”Isaac said to Abraham his father, “Father?” “Yes, my son.” “We have flint and wood, but where’s the sheep for the burnt offering?” Abraham said, “Son, God will see to it that there’s a sheep for the burnt offering.” And they kept on walking together.“
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭22‬:‭7‬-‭8‬ ‭MSG‬‬

The Holy Bible

This is our week of marathon prayers on MPG and so as we were travailing last night this scripture popped up in my head. Isaac. The boy who followed his father to a mountain where he would be the sacrifice. I couldn’t help but sob because while we are looking for money to sacrifice, time to sacrifice, we could be the sacrifice. While we are trying to gather firewood to sacrifice other things , God says YOU ARE THE SACRIFICE. That as you think others will be on the altar, the Lord says, “ You are the one to lay on it.” I know as you’re reading you’re still thinking this is for others but it is actually for you .. Isaac.

Isaac was asking his father where the sheep of the offering was because everything used for the sacrifice was there except for the sheep. All along Abraham knew that the sheep was Isaac but Isaac expected to see the sheep they usually used for their sacrifices. Just like you’re expecting to see your Pastor as the sheep. The ones that are always in the spotlight, the ones that are always serving , but the Father says , “We have everything we need for the sacrifice because we have you.” Isaac.

You are the one to complete this sacrifice. We don’t need any sheep. We have you. That’s why we are here on yielded , so that we learn how to die to self, how to follow God wholeheartedly so that when He asks for and of us we lay on the altar like Isaac without debates or arguments. Things like lust must be dealt with, sin , all you could think of that will stop you from devoting yourself to God, get rid of it! I could hear God clearly saying, He is raising men and women of sacrifice. Why? Because this is a generation that looks for sheep elsewhere, sacrificing others, not understanding that; you are the one to lay on the altar .. Isaac

What I’m saying to you today is look no further. Holiness and purity is not for a certain group people. Look no further, the sheep is you. Look within. The Father is taking you to the mountain when He has so many sheep at home, He still leaves them behind and trusts that the sacrifice will be complete because YOU are there. Do you think Abraham could not afford one sheep? He had plenty! He left them at home. “Isaac we did not forget the sheep at home, we have the sheep right here..” lt is you.

Isaac yielded. He didn’t know how it would turn out but he walked with his father. Step by step. Closer and closer to the mountain. Leaving everyone behind they journeyed. Because many times when time for the sacrifice to be done comes, everyone else stays behind. It becomes an intimate transaction. A secret encounter. Where Peter James and John remain somewhere and Jesus is in the garden alone. Where the servants remain and Abraham takes Isaac to the mountain alone. The time of separation could be the time of the walk to the altar of sacrifice.. Don’t wonder why you’re all alone Isaac , there’s usually not audience to witness the secret encounters God has with His chosen sheep. Moses was alone. Jesus was alone. Hannah. Samson’s mother. Mary. In your time of separation remember, do not go looking for other sheep. “ Isaac , stay right there. Don’t leave the place of encounter. Don’t untie yourself from the altar. He is working on you!”

What if you are the sacrifice? Would you yield?
Selah .
