Change!!!



Have you ever met a person who is so hooked on to their routine based life? A person who lacks a bit of spontaneity? Lol, well if you haven’t before, nice to meet you my name is Rodas. I am a person who likes, let me just say loves to describe the intensity of the matter, a plane old routine based life.  The reason I like a routine life or a consistent life style is because I can almost anticipate everything that I will be doing and that is something I am comfortable with. The opposite of that is change! Man!! I am not a big fan of change.  Guess who knows that I don’t like change, my one and only father in Heaven. God knows unless He brings life changes in my direction I would not go out to look for it. Praise the Lord because He knows what I need more than I do.

Whenever I think change, specifically life style change, I think of Paul the apostle. Paul in order to explain who he was before encountering Christ said, 3 “I am a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but brought up in this city. I studied under Gamaliel and was thoroughly trained in the law of our ancestors. I was just as zealous for God as any of you are today. 4 I persecuted the followers of this Way to their death, arresting both men and women and throwing them into prison, 5 as the high priest and all the Council can themselves testify. I even obtained letters from them to their associates in Damascus, and went there to bring these people as prisoners to Jerusalem to be punished.” Acts 22:3-5.  But, on his way to Damascus something happened to change his life style, Jesus spoke to him (Read the entire chapter it is pretty interesting). Then after, Paul became a believer, not just a believer but a person who preached Christ. Mind you he is the same person who used to persecute believers! Though he was zealous for God he went about it the wrong way! Hence, this life style change was very needed for his spiritual growth.

The biggest change in my life was obviously moving to Canada! Then joining a university, then living in residence (dorms) then followed moving out into rented houses. Then came working alongside schooling. All of these things, one way or another, have helped me grow both spiritually and in earthly knowledge. God knew all these things were things I needed to go through to see His unending grace, sufficient provision, and helping right hand.  Now, I have a different outlook on change, I see it as an opportunity for growth in my faith. I see new dimensions of faith as I face things I have never faced before. “Put on your new nature, and be renewed as you learn to know your Creator and become like him.” Colossians 3:10. So, when ever change comes your way don’t fear it, instead accept it and even appreciate it as our father in heaven is yet to do amazing works in our lives.  

Notes
  • The changes God brings to your lives are intended to grow you not harm you
  • You are in safe hands so trust Him, He knows what is best for you!


Stay Blessed<3

Sermon by Jentezen Franklin: Spirit of Python: Teaching Angels to Worship

When you are going to hell/trails and you worship is when you can teach the Angels to Worship :) 1) God is Spirit : the Spirit is looking for people who will worship Him in truth and In spirit. *In Truth: the right truth (Jesus : see John 14:6) * In Spirit: even during trails we need to be in the spirit of Joy, Faith, Hope and Love "God is spirit,  and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.” John 4:24 2) God can make something out of nothing : before God spoke the world into motion it was nothing. He took what was nothing made it into something. He also hung it on nothing, there is nothing that holds the universe in place! “Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation?      Tell me, if you understand." Job 38:4 How and when can we teach worship to the Angels? Angels Vs. Us Angels 1) Angels have never been nor will they ever be under the course of sin 2) They live in a perfect place (Heaven) 3) The fir...

He is a Better Planner!

I did not mean to take the whole summer off from blogging it just so happen to be that way. Partly due to the numerous things that were changing in my life but more so due to lack of better planning/ time blocking. One of the highlights of my summer was becoming a Mrs. I never knew the weight the pre-fix would carry until I heard someone address me as such. I don't know about you but the Amharic word is, even more, weightier, "ወይዘሮ/weyizero"!. That was one of my life updates. Now that I said that, let's get to the meat and potatoes of my post... I have said before that I am a recovering perfectionist. Today, I stand before you confirming that statement still rings true in my life. I confess, somedays, I face some battles as if I had never before and get frustrated because I haven't gotten perfect at not being a perfectionist! You see the irony...   Tracing back where my want/need to be perfectionist came from, I was surprised to find out that it was linked to ...
