#God's sovereignty - SpokenWord
"We say God's in control of our lives, but is He truly. Are our plans his or are their our own desires as we hope God will allow them to be fulfilled. In the old days, no one made moves until God gave them instructions. God literally gave a step by step layout as to how he wants things, even when we look at the life of Moses, he told him what to say, how to do things.
God said to Moses one time, (paraphrasing) .....you guys go, do your own thing since you don't want my guidance , you prefer to rebel... I won't be with you.
Moses replied-And Moses said to Him, "If Your presence does not go [with me], do not lead us up from here." God if you don't lead us, I'm not taking one step at all. I am not moving.
We can't contest this sort of guidance and say he doesn't move like this anymore because God never changes."
Spoken word :
I fully believe in the sovereignty of God, most people do see the movement of His sovereignty, but some call it a divine power. Never fully comprehending it's who he is, God is sovereignty, He just forever orchestrating things behind the scenes, which always come to the forefront of life,
And through His omnipresent essence allows the rain to fall on the just and unjust, there's something more deeper when a believer actually surrender all control of their life to God.I remember the first time I truly encountered grace, I was laying on the hospital bed, physically weak, but spiritually dead, because that deeper connection which resuscitate stony hearts to life, was and is still evident in Christ alone, but yet I was living a life, which nailed Christ to the cross.
It isn't just knowing the truth of the cross which set human beings free, for many know it and still reject it, nevertheless, God's goodness has and have not ever changed towards mankind, regardless of our state, rather to those who are in need and see their need, become more aware of his goodness, therefore savour it.
My sins weighed me down, and prevented me from truly understanding the calling he had on my life, the calling to be spiritually reconcile, yet some how, my whole being would be transformed so it's like a physically surgery with an internal re-arrangement, my spirit came alive. I surrendered.
But do we surrender daily, is our plans our own or are our plans just the flow of how we believe life should be, it's like forcefully holding on to a bottle of salt, but because the small particles shift, we believe it's God. God doesn't move through our trajectory. Rather though his trajectory we move. But we are so use to controlling our life, that even when we pray, it's never when the spirit prompts rather we succumb to when and how we feel. Thank God for his mercies for all the times , my plans were my own, lord forgive me.
Lord what's next? When you're moving can I move with you, where you go , can I go with you.
I remember that image God gave me, years ago, just before uni, of a little kid , which I knew was me, holding on to this huge leg, like a child to a father, saying ,"I won't let you go"
I knew he adopted me, we have all been adopted...the ones who he have called, this dependency which we were first introduced to, never let go, like a child to a father, as I grew older , 7 years later, I realise it is him who sustain me, my dependency to remain and abide in him and to hold on to him was through him.
The steps we take, let it be ordained, and never let us move unless the path was set out before you , the supreme authority,
Change the trajectory of my steps, and let my moves be designated by your spirit, let my plans not be of my own, let my plans be the plans you made for me before I entered my mother's womb, Holy spirit be my guide, be the muscles which move my feet towards you, surrender my heart, not to my plans, but your ways, discard my plans, let me not even write goals to achieve, but has I walk towards you, let the goals which you have made for me be established unto you, because we were created to honour you.

PoetryI have not written anything in a long time. Last week, I was reading the parable about the talents and I said to God, " I haven't been using this talent and I don't want to lose it because it's a blessing to write poetry" but I haven't been inspired...
