MY GENESIS CHAPTER ONE

The Beginning

Genesis 1 verse1 In the beginning God......

In the beginning everything that God created was good-your life, your career, your marriage, your family and children, your ministry, your health, your business-so what happened? How come everything about you is not good?? Where did the rain start beating you? This is the question that got me thinking about the turn of events in my life. In anguish I cried out to God, my Father my Father what went wrong? Remember at this juncture I was slowly but painfully trying to be silent. Hey it was difficult, I am used to talking about everything and anything, those who know me, know that I will talk about everything and give a comment on everything whether you want my opinion or not!! And now i am being "forced" to be quiet- uughh will I survive?

In the silence God begun to finally talk-through his word, a sermon, a friend etc. I was continually going to the church at the basement as I call it. Every morning, noon time and evening, for the next one year I fed like a child who had not seen its mother and when she comes home, the child will not stop feeding. I was hungry-very hungry for that word. Many times i had no fare but I walked to and from Yaya centre to this church! I did not want to miss anything of the revelations i was getting.

It was during this time during the Easter week of 2008 that the pastor at the basement was talking of resurrection. It hit me so hard! Here was a pastor talking of death and Resurrection of Jesus in a way that I had never heard of before. That Christ died that I may leave and be alive in every area of my life! What!? my life had just come to an end or so I thought. My marriage of 17 years was already on the rocks oh in fact not rocks but it was deeply irreparable! so what are you saying? My job had also come to an end! In fact it was just me, and if God did not do anything, I was finished.

I started examining what has befallen me. And what I found out was too deep. so for now think about the beginning of your life. Are you where God said it is good or have things turned out so bad you are wondering whether you are where you ought to be or are you being dragged down by an invisible hand?

Think about this as we pause in this melodrama.

THE GENESIS BEGINS

The Genesis of my life now earnestly begun in 2008 after the man I had known for 20 years walked out! Huh! Tough one that even thinking of it,tougher even to start mentioning here, but some one has to learn from my experience and avoid a lot of heartache in future.

Revelation 12 verse 11 says "And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto death."
I begun asking God what went wrong here? And why this had to happen. Don't get me wrong, some of us have to share our lives, it's a calling. I know someone is wondering - why is Rose airing her dirty linen on line? but is not me, then who will talk about the issues facing families that many are afraid to deal with? so i will share mine to the death. You may want to stone me just like right now, but who is without sin?

As I begun to ask myself why and why me, I began to "hear" god clearly, by the way I am a very talkative person, so getting me quiet has taken God 7 years but imagine it began in 2008. I started reading my bible more and meditating on the word of God. I could spend hours reading- and wah! The discoveries eeehh!! Where had I been? Sometimes the revelations hit me hard! Actually knocked me out for days....I had to get a place(read church) that taught biblical truths, so in a frenzy i called a friend-Glorine to show me what to do and where to go. Glorine had been talking to me for eons, and I was not listening. i mean, my life had been comfortable, so what was she trying to tel me that I needed God? I mean I went to church every Sabbath and had given my life to Christ in 2004 after the death of my dear mother. She died at the age of 49, a very premature death. It is mum's death that got me thinking, heh!actually people die?

So Glorine told me about a church that teaches Bible truths without apologies. I finally located it one day when I was just tired of the turn of events in my life. Believe me when I say I prayed and told God that if the first sermon I heard did not relate to me then I am not going back! Lo and behold-what was the message? The power of agreement!! Eeh Lord what are you saying? The pastor there taught this in relation to marriage-ah Lord, Lord I was dumbfounded!!! What was this man talking about? Had he been told I will be there? After the sermon i went home asking God- "Father, what are you saying?" I have never turned back after that.
