Right now just from chatting with some friends of mine from Kitwe my former home,just realised how much i missed them after not being in touch for some time
Well today also marks 6 days till i depart my home country for Argentina,its remarkable at the same time saddening,exciting.all sorts of emotions are creeping through me and i dont blame me for that,its normal
My heart is filled with so much gratitude and appreciation for the Lords blessings like family and friends
Called my friend Ryan Kaseka to find out how he's doing and am glad that he is fine,then called his brother Russel,he is fine but really tired and stressed out,poor young man,called Kelly too and he is doing fine as well,am glad that all my friends are fine
In these conversations,Kelly and Russel brought out something that has got me thinking really,i told Kelly about whats been going on with me,basically my challenges with the male folk and their ability to note and say things that are not a surprise to me but are humbling but at the same time driving me nuts
Kelly"perhaps its because of what they see in you thats why they are treating you that way"to be honest i have heard that before but it just humbles me all the time i hear it over and over again,its an honour to be the light of Christ,it is,and this light comes with its own conditions that take some getting used to and only Christ teaches us how well to deal and handle His light,
Russel also mentioned something too,except i didnt tell him anything about what i am going through,i just mentioned to him how much i am in need of growth in every aspect of my life,and when he noticed me saying that more than once he asked"what exactly do you mean when you say you have to grow?"then i broke it down for him i said in every way like physically,spiritually,emotionally,and i said i have to mature,i noticed the gigle he gave right after i said mature......so then i stopped to hear what the giggle was all about,and he said"why are you saying mature when you are already mature?"and i was like........."what?"i didnt have a response but instead i went into some 5 second meditation if ever that exists.
My friend Russel has a funny sense of humor that i really praise God for cause i know that he is one of the people that can cheer me up with a grande laugh,in our dialogue over the phone he said something like"imwe tamwa ka bwele,tali mwa liku temwa?and so i said "ehe" but boi home is home,and then he went like"imwe you'll come back with a dude from that side"i giggled,and he continued"imwe you have high standards"in shock i said "what"he continued"your standards are high"and so i asked him"what makes you say that i didnt say that?"and he continued"you dont need to say it,we can see it,its seen"i was in shock at that moment honestly but the dialogue had to go on.
for this particular post i was had to outline this one thing that my friend Russel brought out without realiseing how much it has got me thinking,He was right when he said"You dont need to say it,its already seen"
thats the truth because that what Christ does to us when we surrender our lives to Him wholly
I must not therefore be surprised when many guys wish for me to be their help meet,its inevitable
"A city that is set on a hill can not be hid"indeed light is very visible so visible that all see it wherever it goes,all this just come to show me in humility the great and wonderful works that God is doing in and through me.For a long time i have been praying for a concrete and solid relationship with my Savior Jesus and He has and still is answering me,what can i boast in apart from the cross?indeed i boast in the cross and the cross alone.
Thanks You oh Jesus for the good works that You are doing and still continue to do through and in me.
Please teach me how to handle this light for i know not how to handle it Oh Lord,
Thanks for Your time and answer in Jesus's awesome name i pray!

How will the people know
 | |
| Me! |
They will know by you and i sharing His amazing and infinite Love!
to do that we need molding,we need training,we need refining
God will never allow His children to misrepresent Him other than His will with pure exactness
God does deal with the bare minimum but with accuracy and fullness.
we can never do this or attain this on our own
only in Christ and through Christ can we be in such a state
I desire to be an instrument well played by the Master himself,
I desire to be the clay in the hands of the Potter.
Psalm 138:8"The Lord shall perfect that which concerns me"
Lord's will confirmed
I say this because this morning i just confirmed the study that i was conducting on purity,the Lord impressed me to do some asking from a very good,kind and open young aunt of mine concerning my recent study on maintaining purity especially in that of sexual purity as a daughter of God.
When she came in i asked her what the effects of kissing are in a relationship,this how she responded"When you kiss a person that you do not have feelings for ,its disgusting while when you share a kiss with some one that you have feelings for,it leads to sexual feelings towards that person,hence the danger when you are in love with someone and you share a kiss"
i contemplated upon this information upon receiving it for it had confirmed the final conclusion of the study,its a good thing that i decided to ask her about this because i knew that the answer would be open and honest,and am glad i now this!indeed Proverbs 19:20,21"Listen to counsel and instruction that you may be wiser in your latter days,there are many plans in a mans heart but the Lord's counsel it shall stand"
Yesterday i was reading a good book from my favorite author,the title of the book is Help in daily living talks about the daily struggles and facts of the Christian life and walk,in chapter 1 of the book,it talks about Everyday living and here is a direct quotation from the book"There is an eloquence far more powerful than the eloquence of words in the quiet, consistent life of a pure, true Christian. What a man is has more influence than what he says. {HDL 7.1}
The officers who were sent to Jesus came back with the report that never man spoke as He spoke. But the reason for this was that never man lived as He lived. Had His life been other than it was, He could not have spoken as He did. His words bore with them a convincing power, because they came from a heart pure and holy, full of love and sympathy, benevolence and truth."
And here i am deeply and sincerely crying to my Father in Heaven for complete and utter most yielding to His awesome will.The issue is simple Psalm 138:8"The Lord shall perfect that which concerns me"
Indeed He will

Something to Consider oh daughter of Zion
PURITY!
"Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God" Matt 5:8
This happens to be one of those short but very powerful texts in the bible,its also my favourite!
Well i was talking to my Father in Heaven yesterday when i read an interesting post on facebook from one of the groups i belong to,its was actually a link to a site,stay at home daughter,its quiet an interesting site.the post i read was talking about purity especially in relation to the male female relationships
this post talked about the aspect of kissing and saving the kiss for the altar,the lady that posted this had some interesting points that impressed my heart to because what she brought out was indeed something to consider by every daughter of God
http://stayathomedaughter.com/2012/07/31/should-you-kiss-before-you%E2%80%99re-married/
After almost a full day of meditation and reasoning with Lord about this information,i decided to call a friend that i have not spoken to in months and she told me some information that shocked me,well this friend of mine is well informed and i think its now become a weakness.its a habit,she told me some news about a former church mate that is now expecting to have a baby,this shocked me because this lady is a youth and respected by the community,but i have learnt that while such news shocks us we are to be like Christ and offer hope to the peole making then see that they are not alone
An opportunity to share Christ to some one vulnerable because i love them,it really got me thinking especially that she had to drop out of school to prepare for this new phase in life,it got me thinking to what it means to be PURE.
Then in His mercy,the Lord revealed to me that being pure as what Christ desires is to totally surrender my passions,flesh,weakness and bodily,earthly desires to the Lord,to set my mind and affections on the things that are above and not on earthly things,because bottom line is that this world can never offer me the best,it can just go as far as the bare minimum,thats reality!
This sad but very real situation made and led me to think and give every aspect of my life to God,He knows what is best,i should just listen when He speaks and ask Him to give me the power to obey!
Hence my prayer everyday"Lord,please help me to be wholly thine,I desire to be yours completely and to do what pleases You,You are the love of my life,The God of my salvation,the one who knew me before anyone else,i trust that you have my best interests at heart and that you wish me to prosper above all things,nothing have i to give thee but my poor,crippled,life that amounts to nothing without You,and Lord if it seem to You that i make a fool of You with words of flatter,I wish for You to search my heart and mind and see whether i am sincere or that i waste Your time by saying this!
My life is but a piece of tissue ruined and wasted with You,but it becomes a beautiful piece of paper that You gently hold and write on the wonders of Your will,bottom line i know that in me dwells no good thing,i can never ever trust my emotions,impressions,desires,wishes and heart because my promises are as ropes of sand,holding on to them is like holding on to air and we both know that that would lead to a great fall,however i do believe You when You say that the righteous shall not be utterly cast down Psalm 37:24.You are there,You have been there and You will be there for me as long as i continue to acknowledge the truth and fact of the whole matter which is that i can not live without You dear Master,We have talked about this so many times and i will never stop saying this because it brings me to the perfect picture of Your amazing grace that saves me
On the aspect of Purity,i can only attain it by seeking You and letting You take control of every aspect of my life!
I desire to be pure for You and for my future husband whom You are training and teaching the deep things that make You who You are,The God of his salvation!"
Its real.its life!
But all is well when Christ is the head of the Life!

Its just one of those days
Today was just one of those days,one of those days when you are struck and attentive to the Lord's love that it just humbles you to the at most ,i dont know if that happens to others but i sure do know that it happens to me,and when it does,i am speechless and awestruck by God's amazing love for us.
My day today begun with my preparation for the Sabbath where i asked Jesus to speak to me in a very special way,which He always does because He is faithful,i left home for church with my brother and cousin this morning at around 8 to 9 hrs,we always walk to church from home and back because its walkable,about 20 to 30 minuets walk.we walked to church and made it in time for the Sabbath school then branched off to the classes at the usual time,the lesson was very interesting,i belong to youth class 15,and the lessons was a good one,
It made me think and meditate on the real issues of life,the main question that almost every child of God asks,"Is my name written there?"by there i mean the book of life,thats the reality of everything,In the history of a human being,God must at least say something good about him or her,its what keeps us going as His children,if we keep Him smiling then all is well with us
Thereafter we went on to the hear the main service and the title of the sermon was,connected with a commission mainly emphasizing on the fact that in order to carry out the evangelistic campaign thats to take place in september,we must be first of all connected with God then only can things move forward and be a success we focused mostly in 1 Kings 4,where Elisha wisely advised the widow to pour the little oil she had in many vessels or jars that she borrowed
We stayed over for lunch and had a bible study with the IMPACT members,a group of youths that are passionate for Christ and seek to spread truth as it is with orders and command from God,they really inspire me i tell you.then i took time to catch up with whats been happening with my friend James and how His spiritual walk with Christ is going,he shared somereally interesting insight that i am grateful to God for,with all He told me,it really made me think more on the side on trials and having things rough and still trusting God in the midst of storms.i need to pray for my friend because he has been having struggles with his relationship with Christ,it all happens with us and when it happens to us we need friends that will be there for us and listen to us and be there that God may speak through them as vessels of hope that only He gives,i am glad i had an opportunity to hear him out,thats why this week i want to take time to see him at his campus and just chat,listen and be there for him as a friend.i love my friend James thats why it hurts me to see him down but am glad that even when i am not there Jesus is and always offers solutions to our problems.
i also met an old friend from the former place i used to live,her name is Martha,she is a twin,it was really great to see her,shes all grown now and in campus,i will also take time to see her next week,next week is going to be busy because its going to be my last week before i leave my sweet country and prepare to meet Argentina,il go for my university there,i hope to study medicine.well back to the story,we had outreach this afternoon and Martha,Nasilele and I went to an assigned compound to invite people for the upcoming crusade at the government complex here in Lusaka.it was a great experience seeing people really interested to come and hear Gods word.
Later in the evening i was given the task to report to the congregation about how we worked and it was beautiful!i love working for God and sharing His love,my friend Shawn,not my biological brother gave us a really good presentation on the need and motivation for service to the Lord in evangelism,Jesus paid our debt of sin,hence we also are to share to others this great news about how loving and merciful He is to sinners like us!Deep indeed!
By the time we finished with the reports and the prayers,it was dark,but praise God,He providedtransport for me and my brother to go back home,we were driven by my big sister Nasilele and Malilwe,some good sisters in the Lord!
Well now am home and sums up my day!i
Every day i see Gods amazing love and mercy for me
i can't help but share this wonder and be happy for everyone that receives Him as a Savior because He is.
I cant also believ that i wil be living my very beautiful,lovely country Zambia to go study in Argentina,its such moments like this that make me appreciate home for what it really is,HOME!
But i am persuaded that my Jesus,my Lord who has chosen Argentina for me will definately see me through in every step of the way!
Te amo mucho Dios!
