Precious and Solomon
Solomon and Precious
I and my wife are currently going through testing times. It’s a month we have been in Mozambique. By the way, Mozambique is a country of my origin. That is where I was born some 32 years ago; but the reality is; I’m totally a stranger amongst my people. This is caused by different reasons. I can’t communicate effectively in our local languages and I can’t connect well with the local lifestyle or culture.
When I arrived with my family in this country we perceived as a promise land, we bowed to God and thank Him for the wonderful things He is doing in our lives and which he is still going to do.
We have see God and we are a living testimony. We were just ready to serve; to serve God, the people and extend my pastor’s vision which is my vision and becoming a blessing to my people; the people of Mozambique.
Things turned so fast. As a family, we find ourselves in storms; heavy storms. Guess what, those storms has brought myself and my wife very close; so close that we only focus in Him, and reading more of His word. After all He is God; we live by His Grace on His soil.
I had been reading my favorite chapters in the bible for the past 5 days; the book of Genesis and of Exodus. I read about how God Value a human being.
When you read the bible you come to know that a human being’s creation or coming to existence was very unique compared to anything that God created. “Let there be …” were the words mainly used by God in creating the universe and everything in it’ “…and it was so, and God saw it was good; and that was the…”
When God created man, he summoned His heavenly executive in order to take a decision on our existence. That sounds uplifting. “Let us make man in our image…” God told His executive; God the father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. That for sure gives you a hint how you and I are important unto God. In His image we were created.
I read about Joseph’s challenges he went through; his family was against him and his vision; The people on the streets saw him as less important and they sold him; when he thought he has found rest in the house of the governor, he was falsely accused and no one could listen to his side of the story; he found himself within the justice system of Egypt.
All these were some ways to prepare him for the good things yet to come. He was prepared to be a law maker, to be a family bread winner and to fulfill God’s plans for the Israelites.
I read the story of Abraham when he had to abide by God’s call to sacrifice his only son to God.
I read the story of Lot; how God saved him and his family from Sodom.
I read the story of the Israelites; how God made the king of Egypt to be stubborn, not permitting the Israelites to go and worship their God.
I read with understanding how God led His people out of Egypt.
I could go on and on, but I want to say, all happened for God to get the Glory and to fulfill His plans.
What we are going through with my wife currently is one way to take us to the next level. Someone can judge us; some people can try to stop us from dreaming; some people can hide their most horrible deeds and expose our mistakes; but God for sure value us the most.
He does not care about our past situation, past conditions, past mistakes; where we come from; He is just God for all. He will take us through.
People judge is based in our past, but God does not even remind us about our past.
Thank God, the challenges we are going through brings us closer to God and I have started writing about my biography. I’ll post some scripts to my blog. It is entitled Journeying. It’s my life about my childhood, as a child soldier, at school, as a boxer, born again Christian, an Evangelist, romance and a father of his daughters.
Watch this space.
God Loves you and be blessed
