Until We Get There

By Christina

“And so after waiting patiently, Abraham received what was promised.”
Hebrews 6:15

And so…. no matter what we try to do we still have to wait. We wait in traffic, on lines… We wait for results….we wait for the days to pass for special events.  Or for some of us we wait for huge things. Well until we get there what do we actually do right?

I feel like I am always rushing most days. No matter how many books or teachings I hear on this I am always rushing for things to move in its right place.  I told myself this morning….”RELAX, Christina —you don’t always have to rush.”  Until we get there I can do a lot of other things to help me ease the wait.

I can imagine that many of us are waiting for huge things such as a spouse, children, a property purchase, a business or ministry to launch, a great new work position, for the weight to come off or even a change in existing relationships or things.

There we go waiting again.  Every day is a wait.  But every day there is something happening.  Just like Abraham waited for his promise and got his, so did others.

So in the course of time Hannah became pregnant and gave birth to a son. She named him Samuel, saying, “Because I asked the Lord for him.”
1 Samuel 1:20

So after waiting patiently and in the course of time we will get to experience the suddenly and the immediately.  Your promise has arrived. What you asked for, you got.  What you have been believing God for, is here.  Your prayer request has been granted.  The door has finally been opened for you and it is your time to emerge.

Until we get there we need to trust God.  Until we get there we need to believe that His precious promises are YES and AMEN.  Until we get there we should prepare anyway for the day to arrive with the answer.  So that way–when the suddenly and immediately happens we are more than well equipped.

Prayer:
Dear God –thank you for being the owner of our days.  Thank you for making all things beautiful in its time just as Your Word declares.  We know that there is a time for everything and I pray today that until we get to our destination that you give us a heart of peace.  I pray that we will continue in joy, love and harmony through out each day.  May we stop rushing our day and special time to arrive.  Let us find ways to appreciate and overflow with abundant gratitude for what You have given us while we are waiting. There is nothing like having such a relationship with You that we would have never known without the days like this.  This course You have ordained for us is settled and it is perfect.  I trust You in that– so when my destination is clear I can be well adapt and equipped for what You promised. Amen and amen…

With Love,

Christina

Emerge Eighteen

By Christina

“Arise, shine for thy light is come and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee.” Isaiah 60:1

This is going to be a great year filled with new beginnings… our fresh start. Just what we need.

To start again. To come into a new existence spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, financially, relationally and in every aspect of life. To arise! To shine!

I’m so excited for my second book release!!! Coming shortly…. stay tuned!

A lot is coming down the pike for us. It’s just around the bend. We are getting closer to the most glorious days we have ever seen!

“Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin, to see the plumb line in Zerubbabel’s hand.” (The seven lamps represent the eyes of the Lord that search all around the world.)”

‭‭Zechariah‬ ‭4:10‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Small will grow! We see the plumb line!

We are going big! We are going to live creatively, expressively and divinely.

I’m excited.

Our goals are in the making and we declare good things to come into the light for us in twenty eighteen. Cheers to last year! It’s over and there is no going back. We have become so hardcore for Jesus!

My personal manifesto is already being declared for this year… now get yours ready! Declare to emerge! To arise! To shine for twenty eighteen… this is our year for more.

Learn To Discern

By Christina

“You can encounter your weakness by surrounding yourself with people stronger in your area of weakness. You are as strong as the strength of your association.  Therefore be strategic in associating.”  #lifelessons #selfleadership #yourinnercircle
~Apostle Femi Adun, Eagle World Outreach

I love this quote by my mentor and spiritual father Apostle Femi Adun.  Right association is essential in your growth especially when you are on a kingdom assignment.

T.D. Jakes quoted, “Don’t go after a broken bird and then why when it wont fly!”

We have to learn to discern how important it is for us to know our inner circle and that place just simply is not for everyone.  I also have a small circle –at home–at life–at work–at church.  This is a small circle.  But the circle I have are prayed for folks.  I often prayed to God to give me godly associations to help me along the way.

There is power behind your associations.  You can reveal your nakedness before them and not feel like you have to leave something covered.  This is called authentic relationships… covenant partnership! This is critical for us to get closer to the place God is calling us.

Just as David needed a Jonathan. Peter need a John.  Paul needed a Silas.

We all need relationships! GOOD ones at that.

Do not be misled. Bad company corrupts good character.
1 Corinthians 15:33

Elijah said to Elisha, “Stay here; the LORD has sent me to Bethel.” But Elisha said, “As surely as the LORD lives and as you live, I will not leave you.” So they went down to Bethel.
2 Kings 2:2

When Job’s three friends, Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite, heard about all the troubles that had come upon him, they set out from their homes and met together by agreement to go and sympathize with him and comfort him.
Job 2:11

One who has unreliable friends soon comes to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.
Proverbs 18:24

I am a companion of all who fear You, and of those who keep Your precepts.
Psalm 119:63

This is why it is so important to have the right association.  May we learn to discern those key characteristics within others.  Those are the ones that you can celebrate with!

Happy Holidays all.

With Love,
Christina
