The Rock of Ages

The truth that God is the rock of ages is multi-dimensional and  revelational.This metaphor shows that no matter what happens, he will always be there and never change. He stays the same forever.

This truth must bring joy and peace to every believer of the living God . Pastor Michael Phillips (The Potters House) expressed it like this "God is the constant and we are the variable " . This simply means that he remains the same and gives us time as an opportunity to change ourselves and our circumstances. I have heard many people in my native language siSwati say "rather trust a stone than a person ", I say to you "Trust the rock of ages".

Ecclisiastes 3 talks of a set time for everything beneath the sky ,tragically most of us crave as it were a particular time and detest the rest. What we must acknowledge is that as long as we are beneath the sun ,diverse occasions will take place.What we must discover consolation in is that the God who exists exterior of time includes a divine plan for us that goes before the starting of this world .Numerous are times we are battling fights that we must let go of and figure it out that certain things are pre-destined .Not that we must lay down and acknowledge defeat and be aimless but that we must pray for direction and acumen so we don't squander vitality on the off-base battles.

The parable of wheat and  weeds told by Jesus to his disciples in Matthew 13 is a sign for us that we ignore .My research revealed that "The Parable of the Wheat & Weeds teaches us that God does have a plan for this world and He is working to accomplish it. However, it is unfolding over time and that means there’s some waiting to do, something we find difficult. Jesus is teaching us patience – the patience of a God who chooses to delay His judgment."

The full point I composed this content is to remind myself and the peruser that God is continuously in control ,for he is the cornerstone of ages.At times we may be frightened of the foe and we disregard that nothing and no one is greater than God. He is never changing and has no developing and maturing to do like us soil tenants.

Many are times we attempt to control things by our strength and might and we forget that we can only do some much .Also I want you to realise that God has a plan for your life that supercedes what you can imagine ,hence at times we a frustrated and angry because we only perceive through our limited perspective which is bound within time.

Imagine You Are A Success

Psychology says that we are controlled by what we think, believe or imagine more than any other factor. Our beliefs control everything we do, If we believed (or rather imagined) that wearing clothes was useless, we would all be walking around naked. It is very imperative that we understand that we control our lives through the type of thoughts we choose to hold in our minds. Take the person who jumps in front of a speeding car on the highway(commits suicide), in their mind their action is justified and probably seen as necessary hence it is carried out. Now that i have laid my foundation... In his book Psychocybernetics, Maxwell Maltz says "Realizing that our actions, feelings and behavior are the e result of our own images and beliefs gives us the lever that psychology has always needed for changing personality.Mental pictures offer us an opportunity to "practice" new traits and attitudes, which otherwise we could not do.  This is possible because again—your nervous sy...

The Unwritten Rules of Africa: Navigating a Complex Identity (Economics part 1)

The economic life of the African continent is shaped by a complex mix of historical events and current realities. To truly understand it, we must examine the deep-rooted challenges and psychological patterns that emerged from centuries of outside control and resource extraction. A History of Economic Struggle The rule of economic struggle is deeply rooted in a colonial history of dependency. Foreign powers didn't just come to trade; they methodically took apart existing African economies. They dismissed local practices as "outdated" and forced new systems upon the people. This historical redirection of resources created a fundamental weakness, turning the continent into a mere supplier of raw materials. All the infrastructure they built, like railways and ports, was primarily designed to transport these resources from inland to the coast for export. This framework created an economic gap and a dependency that has continued long after African nations gained their independe...

A Transformed Mind

Many of us are rigid in thought hence we are stagnant in life. The good news is that we have the ability to change our minds - our thought patterns (perceptions, beliefs..) One of my prayers these days is "God transform my mind". That is because i am well aware that if my mind is transformed, my life will be transformed. Our thoughts are often revealed in our actions. I am writing this right now because an idea came into my mind and i thought it was a great idea to express my revelation about my life in this manner. The action is preceded by thought. The word transformation is a compound word - transition & form or "formation". A transition takes time so it is imperative that we are patient and recognize that it will take time for our minds to be transformed. Transformation is a process often filled with pain and fear. That does not mean we must not persue change but bear in mind that it will be challenging.  Behaviors and/or habits lead to results but we often ...
