LOCATED BY DIVINE GRACE - THE UNMERITED FAVOUR OF THE GRACIOUS FATHER



LOCATED BY DIVINE GRACE - THE UNMERITED FAVOR OF THE GRACIOUS FATHER

Grace, the unmerited favor of God, bestowal of blessings and salvation from our sinfulness. A wonderful God whose mercy endures forever, from everlasting to everlasting even reaching unto children's children upon them that fear Him. (conf. Psalm 103:17)
No matter where we are in our lives be it times of plenty or need we are all better off with grace upon us. In the shining spotlight of prominence grace shines much brighter and sets us apart and in the blackness of obscurity and the valley of the shadow of death grace is able to locate us and shine upon us without fail when we taste of the Lord's mercy. Remember He dwells in unapproachable light (conf. 1 Timothy 6:16), so one can just imagine such light, even a little bit of it beaming onto our darkness, it's phenomenal in the least. Three apostles of Jesus Peter, James and   John caught a glimpse of that light at the transfiguration and so did Saul on his way to Damascus when the light from heaven shone around him.

When we call upon our Lord and God He is faithful and just to hear our calls and locate us with grace, He lifts the poor from the dust and raises the beggar from the dunghill to sit them among princes, now that is absolute grace locating us in places of obscurity and poverty to blessing and abundance. Saul was located by this grace in the midst of his sinfulness persecuting the followers of Christ and tasted of it. Such is the generosity of this grace, it locates and works even on those who are working against it. We therefore as children who confess Jesus as our Lord have a portion in this grace more-so when we continually draw near to Him because He then draws nearer to us.
God lavishes his mercy on us as if we have never sinned - that's grace! He showers us with blessings and restores us. He props us up and sustains us revealing himself to us by this overwhelming power which also strengthens us and helps us to revive our faith and keep it in all circumstances.
The Lord is never far from us, no matter how lost we may get or feel if we call upon Him he is absolutely certain to hear us and respond. He locates us wherever we are no matter how dark a place we may be no matter what.
Grace reveals and proves to us that we are loved without measure by an awesome God who is always calling on each and everyone of us to draw near to Him because He will certainly draw near to us and with His light dispel all forms of darkness from our lives, when we taste and acknowledge the Lord's grace we are changed forever and our lives never remain the same especially our inner man who grasps and appreciates the revealed light to which we are drawn to constantly strive towards even as the church militant finding our way to eternal life.

The Wake and the Future of Africa

The Wake and the Future of Africa No matter how turbulent the wake from the ship, it can never determine the direction of the ship.... Dear young african the wake of our lifetime is the so well articulated history of the past struggles and the brutality of the erstwhile master, it has been revealed to us and it continues to be revealed from generation to generation..... We can learn all the versions of past happenings yet the fact remains - it is the wake! Another fact is that the wake cannot be undone no matter how painful the past injustices may feel to us and our forbearers who actually experienced them, yet we can fully and consciously determine the direction of ship Africa going forward! The natural endowment of mother Africa with treasures deep in her core and breathtaking sights is a gift to us which is in our hands to embrace and tap life as well as abundant  livelihood from if we will conjure enough strength to stop starring at the wake and allow zeal in us to burn and

ARE YOU A PROFESSIONAL? WHAT IS YOUR PERCENTAGE AVAILABILITY RATING? - IT REALLY DOES MATTER

ARE YOU A PROFESSIONAL? WHAT IS YOUR PERCENTAGE AVAILABILITY RATING? - IT DOES REALLY MATTER As professionals we pride ourselves in our credentials and the authoritative power that come with them, our voice and opinion matters to those with whom and for whom we work. We execute our mandate with verve and pride. However one realises that the average well trained professional would do the same and it is almost totally expected of them, so there must be something to set apart the professional who will stand shoulders above the rest. In this instance the author has coined a term "PROFESSIONAL AVAILABILITY PERCENTAGE RATING" No we unpack the PAPR concept. Being professionals we work with other professionals from other disciplines who subscribe to their own codes. These codes dictate that they operate in certain ways and stand guided by certain standard practices. P.A.P.R however is independent of professional codes, it is a personally determined factor which every profess
