INSPIRATION BEHIND THE NAME OF THE BLOG


When an artist decides to make a painting, he "conceives" a picture. He then takes out the canvas, brushes and paint. After getting out all he may need, the artist starts picking out the colours and brushes he wants to use...then; he begins! Now, somewhere during the process of this painting he comes to the point where he decides to use a very fine brush to put in the some detail on the painting, but for some reason that brush just does not want to work...and having to finish the painting, the artist chooses another brush which even though it is not as fine (able) as the previous brush becomes a skilful wand in the hands of the artist, not due to the capabilities of the brush...no, due to the willingness!

Mat 22:14 for many are called, but few are chosen...

I believe this scripture does not refer to God having favourites and therefore does not want to choose some, but rather because some are consistently refusing God's grace and love to shape and mold their hearts.

Do you realize just how much God loves you...? He created the universe with words, yet He took the time to mold, shape and create you...this has to make you wonder; who is this God that thought of me before the foundation of the earth and if He thought of me, that must mean that I am worth so much in His hands...?


INTIMACY AND COMMITMENT EQUALS COVENANT

A while ago the Lord gave me a revelation on the holy trinity and how the marriage between a man and woman is a symbol that signifies the intimacy, commitment and sacredness of a covenant made between two people before two or more witnesses and that the marriage should be a symbol of our relationship with Jesus.

In my own life the Lord has shown and teach me so much through my marriage and I can almost see on a daily basis why the Lord gave me the promise of my husband and why we were put together by the Lord and I honour God for showing me His will and guiding me into staying in His will, for just like a marriage it is not easy to always stay in the will of God for staying in the will of God means leading a sacrificial life which places God's will before your own just as in a marriage one should always be willing to lay yourself down for your husband or wife. 

The Lord showed me that just like on my wedding day when I gave my heart to Him, I made a covenant with Him...

I took Him to be my Creator, God and King and I promised to be true to Him in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health. I also promised to love and honour Him above all else for all the days of my life until death unifies us.

And in likeness the Lord also made a covenant with me...

He took me to be His son, heir and co heir with Christ and He promised to be the Way the Truth and the Life to me in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health. He also promised to be Love and Honour to me and to make me the centre of His being for all eternity, for nothing will ever separate me from Him!

This unbreakable covenant was sealed by the blood of Christ, sanctified by the living water of the Holy Spirit and purified by the Fire of God.


 The Lord is looking for a people who will not just seek Him for what He can do for them, but for who He is...because when we seek Him for who He is we will lack nothing for in Him you will find your being.


God is the God of covenant and covenant is only made through intimacy within commitment.

When we are in marriage we can easily see how our relationship with God is by just looking at our relationship with our husband or wife. I know that our husband and wife will never be God, therefore your husband or wife will never be perfect, but are you being the best you that you can be for your husband or wife? Are you daily denying yourself taking up your cross and following Christ to the mount of Golgotha, where your flesh (own will) is crucified for His will which is to (husband) love your wife and to not be bitter against her and (wife) submit to your husband as this is fit to the Lord. 

If we are willing to die to self and lay down our lives for one another as Christ did for His church, we will also be resurrected and rebirth of new life will take place.
