The word of God is a Mirror: (inspired by James 1:23-24)

By Teboho Masakala

The word of God is like a mirror, the mirror is used to see if all is in order and to spot mistakes. When you use the mirror,you take time to carefully see if your hair is combed or your face is ok. The mirror assures you that all is in order.

That is the same with the word of God, we use it to introspect our ways and see if we still walking in line with God’s commandments. The word of God corrects, rebukes, corrects, disciplines and gives life.

It guides and   directs us on the path we have to take. As much as the mirror is an important part of our  everyday lives, the word of God is life, when you are in trouble it calms you and instructs  you to have faith in God.

When you use a mirror, it helps you to spot mistakes which others will notice but not yourself. The word of God points at mistakes we do not notice. We may think we are walking according to the word of God only to find the  are certain things we have done wrong but if we look carefully into the word of God, it helps us to spot the mistakes we have done without us noticing.

The mirror doesn’t judge how you look but helps you fix mistakes. All people are welcomed to use it; the word of God does not judge us but helps us fix our mistakes. Everyone is welcomed to study the word of God.

Ladies spent a lot of time in front of the mirror putting on make up and making sure they look good. The more time they spend in front of the mirror the more their confidence builds up, it helps them to pay attention to details.

This also applies to the word of God, you need to spend a lot of time on the word of God, it will give you a direction. The more time you spend on the word of God the more peace you will have and your life will change. You will be able to face storms, rejoice in pain and be comforted in times of distress, while other people will panic during trials and tribulations; you will rejoice giving God the Glory and thanking him to for the blessings after passing tribulations.

Spending  time on the word of God will increase  the favour of God in your life. You will know how God operates, what he loves and hates. You will be closer to God and believe what he says, through the word of God, you will see that it is God breathed and  gives life. Your faith will be strengthened.  It resurrects even those who had gave up.

As much as ladies spent more time in front of the mirror than when they bath, also spend time on the word Of God. After using the mirror, you look once again to see if all is in order and if you look the way you wanted, after getting the satisfaction you wanted, you are ready to face the word. Even when people compliment you, you will reply with a smile knowing that you first looked at the mirror and what people are complimenting you for is what you already know.

This applies to the word of God. When people see the favour of God in your life, you will rejoice because you already know where the source of your happiness comes from. When they shower you with praise  complimenting you, you will be rest assured that the word of God complimented you first and what people say will be in agreement with it.

The word of God is important for guidance . As long as we are alive, we need it as it completes us. It comforts us in times of trouble, it is a mirror for our lives. We need to look at it to introspect our lives. Study and meditate upon it. It will change your life.

God knows the right “Soul mate” for you

God knows the right “Soul mate” for you

by Teboho Masakala

One of the mistakes we do when looking for a Soul mate’s is not relying on God to choose the best for us but instead we make our own choices and when those people disappoint us, we tend to blame God and blame him for the wrong choice of partners we ourselves chose.

When looking for someone to marry. Pray and ask God to show you the real one for you. The one after God’s own heart, someone who will love you unconditionally and not because you are handsome/beautiful or your material possession.

When looking for a partner, don’t go for looks because they can be deceiving. A person may look good on the outside but a monster inside. Don’t go for the status or wealth of the person because when they perish, they may perish along with your love or the person might leave you as what he/she wanted will be gone and you will be left all one.

Material possessions perish and you need someone who will be with you through thick and thin. Someone who will love you even when you don’t have a cent in your bank account. Someone who will lift you up when you are down and is prepared to start a family with you and be your husband or wife.

You cannot be a boyfriend or girlfriend in a relationship forever. Somewhere along the way you will need your Soul mate to commit and choosing the right person is key. For you to know which one is the right one for you, you need to solely rely on God. Go down in prayer and ask God to show you the qualities you need in a person and if the person is what he or she says they are.

You need to go down on your knees and have faith in God that he will choose the person that will make you happy, marry you, commit to you and able to love you till death separates you. So many people are in  loveless marriages and relationships because they were in such a hurry to get into the relationship without asking God if they were making the right choices.

Some are stuck in loveless relationships and marriages for the sake of their children, parents and wealth to mention a few or because they don’t want to be seen as failures. If they can introspect themselves, they will see that failure to wait on God and trust him for a Soul mate caused their misery of being in a loveless marriage or relationship.

Some have missed their Soul mates because they were busy chasing after girls with beautiful faces and guys with six-packs  and money while the right people for them where just next door or they dumped them. When the tables turns, they regret and wish to turn back the hands of time but it will be too late. You make your bed, you lie in it.  

Don’t be in a hurry. Have faith in God to give you someone who will make you their own and love you. Someone who will pick you up when you are down, who will cry with you and always strive to make you happy against all odds. Marriage is a God created institution. He wants only the best for us.

Don’t take someone else’s partner and think they will be your soul mate, they will never be no matter how you try to buy their love with money and gifts. If God says they are not yours they are not. Yours is being prepared specially for you by God.

God wants you to share your life with someone who won’t cheat on you, beat you or abuse you emotionally.

So wait on God. Don’t hurry because of age or peer pressure but learn to wait on the Lord. Trust him and believe he is able to give you a woman or man after his own heart and your heart. He knows what you want and he will surely give it to you. To God be the Glory
