"Reestablish, Reestablish...First Love... First Love..."

There is a time in one's life when you Stop...Stand...Take a deep breath.. Look back.. 
And the life behind has nothing to offer.. 
All that you are living for is before you... It's called Destiny.. 
It's bright .. exciting ... scary ... makes you want to run ... for and from it 

That is when I look up to heaven with a wonder.. Is this life really for me? 
And heaven answers.. "All of it and more"

2013 begins... A seed of a great hunger has been planted in my spirit...
All I can hear is "Reestablish, Reestablish...First Love... First Love..."

There is a wrecking and a pressing ... Thus I know this is a year like no other ...
All it needs is all of me...
So ... I.. Must...  "Reestablish, Reestablish...First Love... First Love..."

"That which you have not known from the beginning , you will conceive in your spirit ...
That which you have not seen ... you will see in the spirit and bring it forth... 
That which you have not touched ... you will taste..." 

Just ... "Reestablish, Reestablish...First Love... First Love..."

Allow Yourself to be moved

I AM MY SISTER'S KEEPER: Allow Yourself to be moved

For me being My Sister's Keeper means tha there are things I can't ignore...
It means I must do my best to lift a Sister up ...
Through prayer,
a Word in season
and
even providing a Listening ear...

The secret of being a Keeper is not allowing your senses to be "dulled"
...Allow a Holy Anger to move you
...Allow Compassion to move you
...Allow Injustice to move you ...
Because , to get things right in the world... One has to be moved...

YHWH ROHI:Rod and Staff

...

Your Rod and Your Staff comfort me...Psalm 23

Psalm 23 in a loaded Song about the Character of our Good Shepherd ..

• He LETS me....
• He LEADS me...
• He GUIDES me...

The Question is: Do I allow the Good Shepherd to Lead...Guide...and Rest me. I will answer that within.

Moving Along...

Is it not an irony that David was comforted by the Good Shepherds Rod and Staff.. ? How can a stick be comforting?

It is possible:

• The Rod of our Shepherd protects me against the Enemy
•  He uses it to pave the way before me in order to LEAD me in the way I should go.
• The Shepherd uses the Rod to crush the head of the serpent..
• He uses the Rod to guide and to give me assurance that I will not be lost...

Yes this is comforting...Your Rod ...Comfort me.

As I incline my ears to my Shepherds Voice, I'm comforted. I rest...

His Staff is also comforting... Painfully Comforting.

• The Shepherd's Staff protects the sheep, me, against Myself
• I go astray, so He uses it to draw me near...
• I sometimes make silly decisions, based on my obscure sight... He draws me near
• I incline to seek help outside of His provision, He draw me near to Himself.
• The Shepherd sometimes has to break my ankle with His Staff, just to slow me down…
• Hi Staff does the pruning of my wayward character..
  

Yes... How comforting..Hmmmm

I'm comforted because,

I'm not an Orphan ... I have a Father who desciplines me

I'm not Wandering helplessly and hopelessly through Life... I'm guided

His Rod and His Staff Comfort me... He uses them to ensure I reach my Destiny

Me Defined

South African Home affairs identifies me as I am Nonhlanhla Sammantha Gcabashe, however,I was born a Maseko. A 32 year old female.

I make up the population of 49,991,300 with a Death Rate of : 16.99 deaths/1,000 population . I am expected to live until I’m at least 48.29 years . WHAT AN INJUSTICE TO THE PLAN OF GOD!!!

I form part of the 15-64 age group which makes up 65.8% of the South African population.
I don’t meet the average fertility rate of most woman which is 2.33 children born/woman. I have 3 kids… not 3.5 or 2.5 children.

I’m alive because I made it through my first birthday, the infant fatality rate being at 43.78 deaths/1,000. I'm therefore convinced that alive for a great purpose and I'm part of God's great story,

As for my education, I make up 88% of literate South Africans. I can read and write. Which means 12 % is excluded from a lot of different opportunities and activities.
I am Christian, I’m part of 79.9% of Black residents which are Christian with 17.5% have no religion.

This 79.9% should be moving as Christ moved on the earth.Impacting lives and changing culture. Touching the unloved and giving hope to the lost and hopeless generation.

In a population of 50 000 000 God declares:
…Before I was born, He knew me …
…He knows the plans He has for me …
…He holds me in the palm of His hand …
…I’m engraved on His heart…
“How precious are His Thoughts to me, How great is the sum of them, If I were to count them they be more in number than the sand”

I matter to GOD.
You matter to God

The average South African Woman lives within a violent society.
It is estimated that 500,000 women are raped in South Africa every year , with the average woman more likely to be raped than complete secondary school. Survey found one in three women said they had been raped in the past year. Rapes are also perpetrated by children (some as young as ten), and child and baby rape incidences are some of the highest in the world.

This tells me that our woman are in trouble and our society is sick.

I also conclude is that the enemy hate a South African girl. She is a threat to his kingdom so he seeks to destroy her early. So that she is paralyzed by fear, low self-esteem and self-condemnation. She is left broken so that she loses even her faith God…

…What God would allow that …
…What God would hate me so much…
…What God will me…

The enemy is a liar and he has only 3 agendas when he come: Kill, Steals and Destroy.
BUT God is seated on the Throne. You are alive today because He holds your life together. What the enemy tries to destroy God puts it all together.
You have a future… and

...God never consults your past to decide your Future(Dr Mike Murdock)…
…God is not intimidated by the enemy…
…Nothing will separate you and I from the love of God…
….The Lord works justice for those who are oppressed…broken…

I’m an individual… Love and created by majesty…fearfully and wonderfully

Rescuing A generation of Girls: I AM MY SISTER's KEEPER

In less than 70 day’s a group of girls from all walks of life will meet under one roof for one purpose, to rescue a generation of girls....

The purpose of this meeting is to initiate what I feel is an overdue gathering of girls. As girls, we will gather in order to understand our responsibility for each other and the magnitude of God ‘s call over our lives as individuals. We will meet to understand that, it doesn’t matter where you were born, your current circumstance, your mistakes and your pain. It doesn’t matter what people or even life has made you conclude about yourself. What matters most is your great calling and purpose.

Life circumstances took Joseph from a home where he had a father who considered him special into a hole …
Purpose placed him second in command in a foreign land

Life circumstances made foreigners place a price on value ….
Purpose said he is Priceless and fearfully and wonderfully made

Life circumstances tested Joseph’s character and morality …
Purpose caused him to pass the test

Life circumstance place Joseph in jail when he was innocent…
Purpose made him to rise above that from the inside of him

Some girls have lost their parents
Some girls have been raped
Some girls have fail in their life’s endeavours
Some girls have been rejected and side-lined
Some girls have attempted suicide a number of times
Some girls have made mistakes over and over again
Some girls have found themselves diagnosed with diseases that you feel will cause their doom

God’s calling and purpose in and over your life have caused you to be present in this present moment.

What made Joseph rise above was not through his strength but through the spirit that was upon him.

Purpose determines how you live your everyday life. When a girl is blinded to the existence of purpose she is tossed back and forth by the circumstance of life. Friends and Circular living determine how she lives. Life determine how she looks at herself.

The gathering of girls seeks to instil purpose on the inside as well as cultivate a godly character and love for Jesus Christ. Its seek to produce

...Girls who can stand the test of time
...Girls who can stand the test of character
...Girls who can stand the tests of their calling
...Girls who can stand in their conviction
Girls who are unwavering

In less than 70 day’s a group of girls from all walks of life will meet under one roof for one purpose, to rescue a generation of girls

My Prayer Diary: 08 August 2011

Dear Father,
I love YOU, I honour YOU and acknowledge YOUR presence in the form of YOUR every present Spirit. I have come to know that nothing good resides in me but YOUR righteousness in available for me through the cross of YOUR Son, Jesus. I know and realise that with my own strength I fail but with YOU I’m victorious in all my endeavours that are aligned with YOUR will.

I’m ever humbled by the fact that I’m only human but I have a God who has all Might, all Ability.
YOUR love for me sends me to my knees as YOU never ever repay me as my shortcoming deserve. YOU love me despite of me.

Thank YOU for YOUR favour that YOU have surrounded me with
Thank YOU for YOUR grace that is as an ocean
Thank YOU for being a shepherd who is ever providing for me, ever leading me to paths of righteousness so that YOUR Name is not shamed
Thank YOU for saving me, I know that the face of the earth will never be the same because I’m changed. Those I meet will be blessed because of the work YOU are doing and have done in me
Thank YOU for orchestrating all things to work harmoniously together for me. I win in all situations

Today I wait on YOU and my desire is that YOUR glory fills the earth and for YOUR Name to be famous through my life.

I choose to set my eyes on YOU and not my ever failing nature.

YOUR Daughter
Me
