Psalms 103:1

Bless the Lord, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His holy name!

The heart needs to be carefully examined and channelled towards God through prayer, praise, worship and the study of the word.When we harbour strife, jealousy, hatred, evil thoughts & other sins, we cannot create space for God in us. It is therefore important that we fill our hearts with the word of God that has the ability to transform our behaviour. We must also spend time in prayer which is communion with God so that His light may fill us and chase away all darkness.

When we then rise up in praise and worship to our God, it will be meaningful and acceptable before Him. We can then begin to shake heaven with the power of our praise and bring the will of God to pass.

Prayer

Oh Lord remove from me all strife and sin so that when I rise up in praise, it may be acceptable before you. I long for the spirit of God to live inside me and to guide my pathways.

Mark 10vs46-52

Pane muchinda wandiitira zvakanaka mubible, ndadzidza. Bartimeo, mwanakomana waTimeo, shoko rinoti waigara panzira achipemha not because waiva bofu chete but waiva rombe. Nenhau yekushaya nekusaona zvakare Bartemio waigara panzira achitsvaga rubatsiro. Unomboziva here kuti kaba uchitsvaga rubatsiro ukataimira group irikufamba nemufundisi or yakapfeka mauniforms ichibva kana kuenda kuchurch zvako zvinogona kufamba. What about group irikufamba naJesu. However, Bartimeo akabva adeedzera kuna Jesu kuporeswa not kubatsirwa nemari. Andipa challenge muchinda uyu. Bartimeo akaziva kuti uyu muchinda wandasangana naye haasi wekukumbira mari because waasangana naye anoshandura the whole situation.

Unomboziva here kuti vamwe vaurikuudza nhamo dzako wakatarisira kubatsirwa nepfuma they can actually do more than that, vane imwe zodzo iripavari. Unonzwa munhu achipopota kuti havana kundibatsira kana necent zvaro pandakavaudza nhamo dzangu kuchurch vakangoti ngatinamate tinokunda. Vazhinji nhasi zvemunamato havadi vanoda kupiwa. Bartimeo anoti zvekupiwa ndagara ndichipiwa but uyu auya haasi wekukumbira pfuma anoshandura chimiro changu. Imwe minamato yatinoita kuna Mwari inoderedza zvatinofanira kuwana kwavari. He is God Almighty who can change everything in our lives but tinotsvaga zviri temporary kwavari. Bartimeo akatsvaga kuporeswa knowing fully kuti dai Jesu akangokanda mbijana mundiro vose vaitevera vaitevedzera ayienda kumba ane kamari kari nane. Amen.

Merry Christmas to you all...enjoy your holiday

Do not say, “Why were the old days better than these?” For it is not wise to ask such questions.

Ecclesiastes 7:10 NIV

It is not wise to ask such questions.

Think of many questions you have asked in silence?

Why are things going this way?

Why did God allow such things?

Why did my parents give birth to me?

Does God exist?

So many questions we have asked, but the Word today is teaching us that it not wise to ask such questions.

Many times we often question God with a rebellious and untrusting heart which is a sin.

Everything is done for a special purpose.

"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him,who have been called according to his purpose." Romans 8:28

Sometimes, questions come from comparing our current life with our old good days.

But however, the good in the past closes our eyes to the good of the current times. 

In our appreciation of the past we can trust God for the best today and tomorrow. 

Let us know that God's thoughts are different from ours, nokuti ndiMwari.

"My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts," says the Lord."And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine. For just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so my ways are higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts." Isaiah 55:8-9

Rather than questioning God, we should trust him for our entire being.

Ishe vanoziva, zvatisingazivi isu, Ivo vanoziva, zvatinotya isu, Ivo vanozvigona.

The good old days are an indication of God at work then as He is capable of greater things now. 

The goodness of the former days should never give us questions for the present times. God is with us in all seasons.

Your current times might be greater than your past, trust God for it.

"Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need." Hebrews 4:16

Major G Foroma.
