The Economy of Heaven is PEOPLE!


2 Cor 3 v 2-3  " You yourselves are our letter, written on our hearts, known and read by everybody.You show that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts."
Yesterday was incredible... my design has never made so much sense as a woman; our cell group went to Monte casino to go watch a movie from the faith festivals - Letters to GOD from the producers of Fireproof and Facing the giants....Its about a young boy who ends up teaching his family and the whole community how to have faith in GOD! In spite of hopelessness  HIS cancer bows to JESUS... and GOD gets all the Glory; 


Its a movie that illustrated to me that "The economy of God is still people....God is always concerned about people, how they see HIM - how we communicate HIM to people in our seasons - (good or bad), God amazingly laid it on this child's heart that he was handpicked...that God chose him to ignite hope to the people...this little boy dying of cancer embraced this truth... confused as he got at times... God made a way for someone ( a father figure) to show this boy that he was not a lost case...that he needed not to feel sorry for himself instead he called himself a warrior of GOD! chosen By God himself.


I kept on crying through out the movie...thinking about my life. thanking God for my life... acknowledging that there's no season in my life that Daddy is not aware of...i embraced this knowledge that He handpicked my times - before i was - He knew that if i allow HIM to strengthen me in HIM - He will have the glory in my life ( all He's ever wanted- and HIS daily question is are you willing? the boy was so willing...... to the end!) and his cancer for some reason didn't look big....BUT GOD did!


I was humbled! as people made fun of him - his reaction was ( what would Jesus do) He desired to give GOD glory. He helped changed people's perception on how they view GOD...we tend to think that when we are struck with sicknesses/or just maybe a rough patch in our life's hits .. we think  that GOD doesn't care.... or even this: Maybe He doesn't LOVE me anymore! BUT He does! He hand picks our moments for HIS glory - for HIS Bigger Picture - its always about PEOPLE!!!!


I realised that God's will is about People - has always been! If i don't get it - His Will for my life will always puzzle me!


Last night - i made a choice that If the economy of heaven is people....then i must make myself  known to them.... tell my story, pray for people, take the risk to look funny, take the risk to be looked down on - for God's glory! now my pain is not the issue, the rejection i feel when people leave is not the issue anymore, the frustration i feel about not knowing my tomorrow- does not hold key anymore - BUT God's will does!


I am of my father's BUSINESS>>>>> The people  - and so help me GOD they will hear my story one day at a time - ooh i will not cease to make mention of HIS Glorious deeds!


love him greatly!

  1. Speak and never stop because people like us (who don't always want to hear the truth) will listen eventually.

    Thanks
