A Higher Call

-
Hello friend, I'm so glad to have you visit my blog. Today my presentation is brief but very crucial. 

"Thus says the Lord of Hosts: Consider your ways!  Go up the mountains and bring wood and build the temple, that l may take pleasure in it and be glorified," says the Lord (Haggai 1:7-8).

I pondered over this scripture and asked questions like 'why mountains? Why not forest? Are there no trees in the forest?' But God specifically said 'GO UP' the mountains. All the Holy Spirit laid in my heart is that asides the truth that God is a God of specificity, He commands upward movement at all cost. 
a higher call


I would think 'go into the forest' and get wood to build my temple would have been an easy task but He is a God of precision and is given to principles and standards, 'cos He intends for man to understand the sacredness of His rulership. 

The era of careless service to God is over, if we must manifest true sonship on earth and teach principalities the manifold wisdom of God, then our obedience must be intact.

Going up the mountain to fetch wood was going to be a daunting task but He still asked them to do it.

Lessons from this scripture are;
   - Your service to God must be Sacrificial
   - Your service must be informed by His word
   - Your service must be top priority

For God to be glorified, it means honour to the vessel through whom the glory came. (Haggai 2:9).

My friend, your calling is the ultimate, not your job. If you need the covenant to work for you get your obedience in place.  He is calling out to you ' Go Up' and get ready to put the structure that can house His glory.  Put yourself in line with God word and run with the assignment while He puts the glory on your life. 

It is a high calling and must be treated with urgency and sacredness. If you are reading this and haven't received Jesus as your Lord and Saviour, Pls ask Him into your heart and plead for His mercies.  Your body is His temple that houses the glory. Step out of the crowd, from the ordinary and from mundane things and watch the glory rest upon your life in Jesus name.

Thank you for stopping by. Pls share this with family and friends and do stop by again. Shalom!

The Iceberg Model: A Systems Thinking Tool

-
Hello my Trendsetting Teens, Today, we want to use this model to explain Systems Thinking as a tool to solve problems and receive desired outcomes. Imagine an iceberg, where: Above the waterline (Visible): Events : The tip of the iceberg, representing individual incidents or symptoms (e.g., a conflict, a problem, or an issue). Below the waterline (Hidden): Patterns : The layer beneath events, revealing recurring themes, cycles, or relationships (e.g., communication breakdowns, power struggles). Structures : The underlying framework, including rules, roles, and processes that shape the system (e.g., organizational design, social norms). Mental Models : The deepest layer, comprising assumptions, beliefs, and values that influence our perceptions and actions (e.g., biases, worldviews). Systems Thinking Connection: Events are symptoms of underlying patterns, structures, and mental models. Addressing only events (the tip) won't solve the problem; we must explore and understand the hidde

DON'T DWELL, POUNCE

 Hi Friend, It is almost getting to the end of a season called 2023 and many are currently taking stock of how the year went. For some, they had many wins, they celebrated, while others, are in a state of gloominess over too many losses they think they recorded. I am sorry to hear that you didn't close the deal, buy the house, get to make the changes and change the trajectory of your life within the time frame you set for yourself but have you ever stop to think that it is not over until it is over? They could be many reasons why it didn't work as planned and you have two options to consider; 1. To either look into the origin of the issue so you can resolve it, learn from it so you can proceed with caution, and instruct others  2. Alternatively, you can choose to reside in a temporary dwelling of self-pity and indulge in sorrow over your losses.  Having a RESPONSE ready is essential for handling life's inevitable challenges. 'But how can I do that?' I can hear you s
