Do you like what you're creating?

In Genesis 1 God spoke and creation came forth. For 6 times He did so the Bible says, "And God saw that it was good." Then after creating man, "God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good." God's word has creative power, and likewise, Everyday we create our world through our thoughts, words and actions. Let us create what we will behold as good in our sight. 

We can use our imagination to create failure or success and utilize our tongues positively or negatively. God saw whatever He wanted to create before it manifested in the physical, and upon manifestation, it was pleasing in His sight. His desire to create was not without aim; He wanted to create something that would please Him and He said exactly what would fulfill His pleasure...

At times some people create sickness by speaking such words as, "I think I'm going to get a fever", not knowing that they are creating something that will not make them happy a little while later. Others use their decision-making capacity to make choices that affect them or the people around them negatively in the short or long run. 

We can use our tongues and minds to create a future for ourselves, our families and the people around us, and at the end of  a long satisfied life we can exclaim saying,  "That was good". The same applies to eternal life; one perceives it in their heart and mind that Heaven is a real place, and they make a choice to confess Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour, and those words create a place for them in eternity! And when we reach there, we will look and say "This is very good".

But before we reach heaven, I shall still declare, "The anointing is on me, the Glory of God is on my life, and I'm making progress, I'm moving forward, in the Mighty Name of Jesus! No weapon fashioned against me shall prosper... Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world... Oh Hallelujah..."

A Grateful heart worth emulating

She met my mother around 1982 and they became tight friends to the point that in her own words she says, "We are as close as twins". Their friendship grew from there and has been our aunt ever since. Her children call my mother Aunt Mama, and we call her Aunt Mama...

...She is Aunt Kelly and she has taught a lot of people that will never forget her. Not many teachers are remembered these days, but Aunt Kelly has that touch of love that makes all her little ones have precious memories about nursery school. My elder brother is pursuing his Master's degree right now but he's one of the fruits of Aunt Kelly's nursery rhymes. However, the reason I'm writing about Aunt Mama today is not her profession...

...A Little while back she was diagnosed of breast cancer in one of her breasts and she had to undergo an operation that would make many terrified. She underwent many tests before the final diagnosis was made and when her son, who is a doctor in Mulago National Referral Hospital, got to know her status, he came along with a counselor to help him break the news to his mother. However, to his surprise, Aunt Mama was not shaken at all, instead she was grateful to God that He had allowed her to breastfeed all her children and see them grow up. People expect to find sadness in hospitals but that's not what I found at Aunt Mama's bed when I visited her. She was so jolly and had her mouth filled with words of gratitude to her creator. It is the sincere gratitude that this lady expressed that really touched my heart. She did not have any words of complaining or grumbling, but only gave thanks to God and instead had pity upon the people seated on the beds across. I wonder what the world would be like if everyone had such a grateful heart to God... Aunt Mama was an inspiration to me that day and the only thing I could think of was to share it with you on my blog. Let us be grateful for the blessings we have in our lives.
