It is the little things in Life that Prevent us from our Breakthrough

Date: 9 July 2012

Time: 11:24

Venue: Home sweet home

It is the last week of the holiday before us future Educators go into Schools for teaching practice. Just when I got set in the holiday mood I have to adapt to being in a working environment. I figured I need to start working in advance again to prevent stress. Some people work better under pressure. As for me, I prefer to avoid acne, eating disorders, back pains, chest pains, head pains and whatever other pain which follows. (Grin)

Just a small real life Scene:

My friend at campus has been called stress by a few of us (friend A – Let us call her FRANCINE). One day Friend B (A close friend of mine-Let us call her RAMONA) and I hurried pass Francine to fill printing credits in the Edminson Library on UKZN Edgewood Campus. Ramona pointed and said to me See there is Francine. I looked at her telling her with great sarcasm. I can see her, I know I wear reading glasses but that does not mean I cannot see at all because Francine was several steps in front of us anyway. Ramona told me R10 bet she is stressed. Before I can inhale air to say yes or no Ramona asked Francine how she is and Francine replied with the obvious ‘I am stressed’. I held my laugh in and Ramona and I practically ran to the Library so we could laugh our hearts out. I still owe Ramona R10. Thankfully she has forgotten or was it convincing her gambling is against my religion. Either way I win (dancing)

ThE EnD

What to wear is a drama for me or for any Lady and few selective men. It is more complicated for us Ladies. Some men argue but truth is how long it takes to smear sticky gel in your hair compare to straightening hair. If you are bald, good for you, you have no idea what a bad hair day is all about. (GRIN)

All your accessories, makeup, handbags and shoes need to match. I decided to rearrange my countless jewellery boxes and I was almost done but the little things took forever to pick up and sort out. My aim was to sort out my room but the little items appeared to be big obstacles.

I left the small items on my bed to quickly type this post. I feel we ignore thoughts and small habits expecting it not interfere in our lives but there are like grenades. They just wait to explode all over the place and in your pretty/handsome face. (Sarcasm). It took me forever to sort out and put away the smaller items. It is like kicking dirt under a carpet and expecting it not to bother you in anyway but it keeps accumulating and then you are left with heap of dirt. Yay me, NOT!

Heard the gesture “It is the little foxes that spoil the vine” before?

It is sometimes the little scenes in life which affect us the most.

Maybe giving a wrong answer in class which scars you from answering the next time in class because one wrong concept or word resulted in you being the laughing stock in class.

Maybe it is the one mark you lost in an assignment where you gave a silly answer and cost you your 100 %.

Maybe it was pronouncing a word incorrectly

A stain on your white clothes

A crease on your top

A stone missing from that gorgeous ring of yours

A food particle stuck in your enamel which is green or black EWWWW why did I think of something so funny and yuck. It’s natural to think of it (light bulb lit up in head).

A broken nail which resulted in you clipping all your nails I cry when my nails break (laughing because I know you are, you think I am crazy but I love my nails, but I love God more{eyes converted to hearts})

 It was Esau wanting soup and selling his birth right. Compare the size of a bowl of lentil soup to your birth right.

Lots wife turned around and she turned into a pillar of salt. Compare once again.

One turn resulted in her whole body being turned into a pillar of salt.

Compare your light switch to lighting up your room. A small switch lights up a room 100 times the size of that light switch mounted on the walls of your lounge.

Compare a drop of water to a bucket of water but if the water keeps accumulating. Will you not get a bucket full?

Do not ignore the little things in life, when it turns converts from a heap to a mountain. We will need some melting mountains like wax to be done.

Addictions

What is an addiction? Is it Good or Bad?

 All depends on what it is you addicted to. You could be addicted to a habit that is drinking, smoking, drugs, type of food, partying, shopping or a person, maybe a  game, a hobby has become an addiction, medication, social Networks.

 An addiction can add value to your life or take away value.

 An addiction can take you away from people by you becoming anti-social. Addictions can make us create items as idols and we are unaware of it. The only person should be the centre focus; our bull’s eye should be Jesus. Making items and habits idols means we are putting other worldly things first then we are putting God second which is unacceptable. There is only one living God that is Jesus and no idols.



Why do Drugs?



I am addicted to a person who has swept me off my feet; he is my king and my all in all. He is the one I wish to dance with, dine with, my friend and my lover. He tastes sweeter than wine and words can heal me from the inside, out. His gentle touch reaches the depths of my soul till my entire being is restored.

That person if you do not know then I urge you not to delay a split second in getting to know him.

His name is JC also known as Jesus Christ. Sound familiar?

Not so much but rings a bell you say.

You might know him as his other names, all depending on his role to you.

Light of the world?

Bright and morning Star?

Son of God?

Lion and the Lamb?

Messiah?

Saviour?

There are so many other names to cover. 

I would love to tell you more names my lover goes by but I am in a hurry to go for a special meeting. Perhaps, you would like to accompany me. Please do not hesitate.

(On our way to a cab)

You know how Alcoholics have AA (Alcoholic Anonymous) classes they attend to help them deal with their addictions. I myself must confess, I am going to special meetings called A2J

but here they encourage your addiction.

We almost there now.

 These meetings are called Church, prayer meetings, Youth, home cell, home church, crusades, nights of hope and a few others.

Finally here!

Do not feel out of place, you were meant to be here. You can sit next to me if you like.

 (Talking to someone else)

Please may I go first, thank you.

Hi My name is Leticia Naidoo and I am addicted to Christ. I can not imagine my life without him. I love him with every fibre of being. I will spend my life for Christ alone . this life I live is not for me . it belongs to God because I owe it to him. I am not ashamed to live a life pure. I am not concerned people might think I am too young or younger people might feel I am uncool. Who said being a Christian is not fun. I got swag, Yeah I am saved with amazing grace, TGIF

  because today GOD is First, yes I am a Jesus Freak.

We should be addicted to Jesus because there are no consequences of Lack because Psalms 23 clearly states the Lord is my shepherd I shall not want. I will not be in a place of lack. When you are addicted to Christ you will not be in a place of dryness because of Gods living waters that flows. You will not be in a place of loneliness because he is your friend. Addicted to Christ won’t make you sell personal possessions or use up all your wealth like a bad addiction. In fact it is free because who the son sets free is free INDEED.

 All God asks is for you to worship him and spend some time in his presence. If you weigh this you will see it’s greater than any bargain in your local Market, factory shop or bulk store. Feed you addiction with the Lord, word, intimate relationship.

A2J- I am addicted to Jesus.

 JF- Jesus Freak

 ARE YOU?

Secret Agents

I would not consider myself much of a couch potatoes

but when I spend time with my first cousins Calin Jainarain (13) and Jachin Samuel Jainarain (8) watching movies like spy kids or any other type of movies having detectives like FBI, CSI

 

and so forth are so interesting to me. You have an individual, either a group or an organization who seems to lead a normal life to those around them but no one knows they are secret agents working undercover. Some organizations work along with the government or person in power helping bring Justice and freedom. These organizations have no evidence of their existence. Their lives are given for the agency. How cool is that. What’s even better! We are secret agents for Christ on Earth. Superheroes, hitmen are other examples of people organizations have, hire and use to execute a plan successfully. There is a secret place these agents meet ti discuss  a plan known as HEADQUARTERS.

Note: Soldiers for Christ (Previous blog post) mentioned we are here on a mission. With regards to secret agents we have assignments given to us.

What do I mean??????

We are in the world but not of the world. We are here to bring change so I guess we could say we are also Known as changing agents. We are here to say to those in darkness ‘Show yourself’. To remove chains of bondage, to remove scales from their eyes, to set the captives free, to remove burdens. Not with our power or our own strength but from God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. We are here to give back what the opposing agency wants to take away, kill and destroy. To give hope to the hopeless. To save souls, encourage, love, show those whom are lost there’s way out. To preach the Gospel. To feed the hungry and clothe the poor.



Isaiah 61



Secret agents sometimes expose their true identity when working on an assignment.

`Random thoughts ranging in my head and flowing from the depths of my heart

Do you not find it odd how we might end up being close friends with ones we least expected and sometimes find it hard to talk to certain friends about our situations which seem to bug us. We meet people from the opposite sex that hurt us and teach us lessons and makes us appreciate someone better that comes along. We fall in love, and out of love, we grow in love and that very same love which grew and blossomed SOMETIMES eventually shrivels and dries up. In other instances it remains strong and steadfast.

(Note: Random thoughts Part two...http://leticianaidoo.blogspot.com/2012/11/random-thoughts-ranging-in-my-head-and.html)

These are a part of our Victorious Journey called life. When we realize our lives are not being lived only for ourselves but we live for Christ and Christ alone then our Journey takes a different route and we appreciate the humps and bumps of our journey through time into our Destiny, Gods will for our lives.

When you read my posts I want you to ask yourself a few questions regarding what’s going on behind the scenes. What really causes me to be brave enough to let people know what I feel, thinks, see, want and desire?

What did I experience to make me write this in a blog post?

I also want you to understand I also have my fair share of Drama, suffering and backstabbing.

There are moments of throwing in the towel and gathering the courage to say to people and God “I GIVE UP NOW! I THINK I HAD JUST ABOUT ENOUGH!!!”

I also had moments where I was not worthy of favour, opportunity, liberty, breakthrough and God divinely intervening on my behalf.

YES! I was gossiped to, with and about.

I have cried so much I swallowed my tears, lost my appetite, laughed so hard I felt I was  about to explode.

I have met bipolar people, had low self-esteem, had broken promises but I still stand tall.

All because I have a God that’s promises has never failed me.

 He is not man that he will lie. The word of God says he will not allow your foot to slip and he will never leave nor forsake you. I like how David says “I HAVE BEEN YOUNG AND OLD AND I HAVE NEVER SEEN THE RIGHTEOUS FORSAKEN”

God has ordered the footsteps of the righteous.

He has allowed angels to take charge of you.

 

You are the apple of his eye        

Doors and keys, gates and locks, bridges, stairs and ladders Part 2: Gates and Locks

gate to a home

Physically:

Around a church, a castle or a house is a gate which you have to pass to get into an area. There are walls around a house and a gate you have to pass to be in a certain space belonging to someone. At a gate there is someone who needs to give you authorization to enter the premises. These people are referred to as Gatekeepers. We have security


at gates like in buildings, homes, residents or campuses. At Campus we have student cards as identification, in residential areas you have to notify the gatekeeper so he allows your guests in; some people have remotes to gates, intercoms or discs to swipe you in.

Spiritually:

Wooden Gate

God has given you an invite to come into his house, he has notified the gate keepers who are the Angels of God and he has left the Gate opened. When you talk on the intercom he recognizes your voice because he loves you but when God comes to visit you you not only closed the gates to your inhabitants but you locked the gate. When God spoke in the intercom for you to let him in but you ignored him because you never realize the frequency in his voice. You never recognize his voice not because Gods voice has changed. Come on! Kings and Queens, This is THE UNCHANGEABLE GOD we speaking of here. The reason is you chose not to hear Gods voice all the time so you are at a point where you cannot recall your relationship or shall I say connection with the man who is speaking in the intercom. Listen to the whispers of the spirit so you will hear the voice of God and follow his commands.

Jehova my all in all is always there no matter what situation even When I.....

When I am ashamed of circumstances around me. You are the Lifter of my Head.

When I look around me Lord I see your love, agape Love

When I look inside me I see your hope to Pick myself and continue this Journey

When I have you in my life Lord, I have no fear but Faith and I believe in you

In the midst of Turmoil you are Jehova Shalom, My Peace

When things seem to not go my way I know your ways are higher than mine even as the Heavens higher than the and your timing is perfect.

 

When I am weak you are my perfect Strength.

When I weep and wonder why I have been hurt so badly.

 

When I look at my Life

 I see your Plan

I see your Purpose

I see my Destiny

A written entry on a reflection of my day

Date: 14 December 2011

Day: Wednesday, Afternoon

Climate: Dull yet Humid

Emotions: confusion and Deep thoughts

 It’s been years since I have written anything down with regards to my thoughts, feelings, and inspirations of theories. When I say years, I mean since high School that is. Maybe it is because of the Globalization and the introduction of blackberry’s which I had to switch off due to distractions and another is my Mother who swings the door open with just one touch. I also have to admit my very untidy writings that I, myself fail to interpret #crazy# I know, thankfully Love Letter days are over. I would never be able to get my message across.

Just a few of my thoughts: They feel so Random, I am a random person after all (Note my Introduction) but maybe after putting it down to paper I will begin to make sense. I feel like an authoress of some sort. One Who will one day change live through Christ Jesus.

Before I get carries away.

My Thoughts:

As I look at my ceiling. It is so relaxing at first as I lay on my bed then it gets boring after a while. I don’t how a Christian can get so comfortable with his/ her relationship with Jesus. What I mean is, looking at my ceiling in comparison with clouds, sun, birds and aeroplanes during the day or stars and Moon at night. The ceiling is so limited yet we get so comfortable (Bed).

Don’t you want more, more love, more glory, more discernment, MORE, than just a ceiling, a light Bulb.

My Life:

There are many rounds in a wrestling match or boxing match. I am literarily (catch my drift) writing to you as in in one of my rounds. Only faith can help me get up every time I fall Down.

Looking at your opponent running towards you and trying to react according to his tactics which you have no knowledge off. God knows his tactics, yhe ALL KNOWING GOD. YAWEH, the I AM. He will guide you because we are fighting a winning battle.

Don't Just

 

Don’t Just Leap, Quantum Leap

Don’t Just Shout, Scream until you cannot utter a word

Don’t just be happy, rejoice as if God has granted you a second chance

Don’t just like, Love with every Part of your being

Don’t just live life, live like there’s no tomorrow

Don’t Just hum, sing like a nightingale

Don’t just stand there, go out into the World

Don’t just smile, laugh out loud

Don’t just visit, Explore

Don’t just keep, guard

Don’t just try, give your very best

Don’t just dream, make it a reality

Intimacy with Our Creator: Acknowledge Gods love for you and embrace it

At a function or walking in public place you come across various different types of people. some of which are couples and you notice the couples which just had a fight and those couples that are madly inlove with each other. You do not need to know theses couples personally or overhear a conversation to see whether they are friends, relatives or just had a fight because its really quiet evident.

How? you might ask. the answer is quiet simple as it is quiet evident. Think about all the times you entered a shop and saw a male madly inlove with a girl yet she displayed feelings of no interest what so ever. You felt real bad for him beacuse you expected her to feel the same way about him.

What if you where that person. you probably thinking No, you can not be the female who is blinded by the love her friend, partner or boyfriend has for her. you felt sympathy, maybe even empathy for that Guy yet you yourself is not taking the Love God has for you seriously. all because you are blinded by it, all because you choose to focus on other things rather than the agape Love God has for you. if I made you think all about your LOVE RELATIONSHIP WITH OUR CREATOR then ask yourself if you acknowledge GOD. If you begin to feel guilty, remember that is not going to change the situation by jus feeling guilty, there should be change. When there is no action put forth. you see, i can put forth all types of theories, great ideas and interesting facts but if theres nothing done then im Equivalent to a hypocrite. OUCH? did i hurt you. i had no intention my dear friend, if you think you are hurt, imagine how u break Gods heart by not even looking at him.

the good news is its never to late. God loves you so much he would even take you back and he wants you to know he has forgiven you. Shocking?
 i know but that my friend is jusat the beginning. He sent his only begotten so to die for you John 3V16.

God longs to hold you in his arms as he whispers into your ears, telling you how much you mean to him. as God holds you so close to him that you can hear the rythm of his heart beat, you begin to realise that you are his heart beat. you dance together gracefully, slowly and God looks you in the eye and his eyes twinkle like the bright stars. 

What a picture, What a feeling. No words can describe that moment. Make the choice to embrace the love God has for you. Do not be like the female that lacks interest and focus.
