Your "little" is loaded.



I recently had a baby!
He's the most precious, priceless, beautiful little human. His curly hair. Brown eyes. Sweet giggles. Heartwarming smiles. Perfection.

I recall the gestation season and I remember how I always drew myself back to the reality that this child was formed from something extremely microscopic. Tiny. Invisible to the human eye. 

A seed. Well, in this case, a sperm cell, but essentially, that's what a sperm cell is - a seed. Sown into the rich "soil" of the womb. Something so little with the potential to become something so powerful, beautiful, impactful. 

It's amazing how a little seed, when planted can go from being a tiny, dry, lonely element to becoming admired, sought after, glorious, magnificent.

Mr Farmer knows better.
Every seed in his hand holds the potential to the next harvest. Every seed in his possession has the power to become one hundred-thousand-million-billion seeds. But he has a part to play. He has to be faithful. He has to roll up his sleeves, go out in the sun, till the ground, break open the soil and sow the seed. He has to return to water it, weed it and continue to keep watch. Even after there is a sprout, he cannot afford to relent. He must consistently care for the bud, keeping watch till its a full-blown harvest. 

Hey reader. Let's bring it home before I lose you. What's that thing you have that you call "little?" A voice? A psalm you wrote? A poem? A dance? A piece of art? What's that "little" gift the Lord God gave you? How do you esteem it? How do you nurture it? Water it? Watch over it? 

Your gift feels "little" because you've not watered it. Like the servant in Matthew 25:14-30, you hid it in the ground or "buried" it, rather than "sowed" it. Buried things are dead. They can never sprout. Hidden things can never be seen nor their impact ever felt. Ever.

And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine (Matthew 25:25)

On the other hand, what you sow will yield a harvest for you, like the Sower in Matthew 13(verse 3) who went forth to sow. He didn't keep his seeds to himself. He knew his "little" seeds were loaded. 

Reader, your faith heroes/heroines didn't sprout overnight. They sowed. Watered. Prayed. Watched. Believed. And received the end of their faith because God gave them increase. Start from somewhere. A prayer. A word. A worship song. A faith accountability buddy. Don't leave the gift "hidden" away when it was meant to shine for all (Matthew 5:14). 

Your little is loaded. Tell yourself that for as long as the sun rises from the east and watch that "little" bloom into fruition before your eyes.

Things won't always be like this...

It's a season. It has not come to stay. It has come to PASS. You won't always struggle. You won't always be broke. You won't always be unemployed. You won't always be homeless. You won't always be in debt. You won't always be frustrated with your issues. You won't always be weary. You won't always be tired. God knows the season you are in. Your health? You won't always be bound to that sickbed. Your health situation comes to an end. Your organs function rightly. Your body behaves as designed by God. Your flesh does not give in to the disease. Your finances? Your storehouse will never run dry. Your wealth will rise. Your barrel of meal and cruise of oil will never run out. There will always be meat for your household. Your 5 loaves and 2 fish will feed nations. Your gift? You will be favoured in high places. You will flourish in spite of the economy. You will excel in all your dealings. You will be sought after. Your gift paves way for you. Your f...

What you want versus what you need

Take a moment to check out that title. Sometimes, we mix them both up. Wants and needs. We've heard several definitions of both. Let me make a simple reference to these, below. Wants are simply the things you desire to have, but not necessarily need. Needs are simply the things you must have to survive here on earth That said, let's take into account all the things you "want" in this life. You want a cool car, a posh house, a dream job or a thriving business. You want a tall, dark and handsome chap or a beautiful looking damsel. You want a flawless body. You want to spend your honeymoon in the most expensive suite at Burj Khalifa. You want to wear all the precious stones in the world on one hand. You want everything money can buy, and more. You want to visit Mars. You also want to go to Disneyworld, and while you're at it, you consider sky-diving or bungee jumping. Safari trips with real lions or open ocean diving with sharks. You also need a really expensive phon...

He hated me, but he was a liar...

I feel a strong need to share this. Some experiences just come your way to fortify you. I've healed now, but I hope this helps someone heal, too. Oh, by the way... long post alert. You need to read through to see what "he" lied about.  Many years ago, at the baby-steps stage of my career, I was so heavily talked down by "the" boss. I can't even describe how heavily. But, boy, it was intense. I had a line manager who was pleasant and ready to work with me because he believed in me, but the boss was the exact opposite. Read on... He would talk me down the moment I wasn't doing anything that yielded results "his" way. Openly say hurtful things to me. He would literally use the "f" word at me in departmental meetings. I would say "Good morning ( his name here )" but he would scan me from head to toe and walk past like I was a wisp of smoke. His hate/anger/disgust/whatever-you-want-to-call-it for me reeked so bad, my colleagues w...
