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.
