Solomon ..

Leaders come and go, Regimes do not last- but a legacy is left behind: Solomon.

However I think that what made him prosper was hat he lived for God!

I was at the Former Nazi Congress hall. the other day, and it is amazing what Hitler had in plan. The structure was huge......,but when it came to his regime, I think that it was about him, and what he could do. Maybe that is why
he ended up fighting the Jews. And that never lasted!
Today the Germans want nothing to do with him. They call him Austrian. He drove himself away. And that is what happens when you are a leader and you fail to live for the right purpose, even your own people dis-own. But not so with Solomon: He lived right and God was frank with him. If the people he led dis-obeyed him, year s later, people would pass by that temple and wonder what had happened! They would look at it , with all the glamour in which it stood,  and they would mock it and be appalled by its appearance!


There is lots of detail: Lots of specifications. This is one of those things that helps me believe in being really good at what I do...because that is what God did. The instructions sent were to the point: God knew what kind of a house he wanted for himself......how big the rooms would be:90 feet long, 30 feet wide....Wow: Detail...


And finally food for thought: Why are there no clouds hanging over temples, churches today?
Why are there  no priests, walking with a glow on their faces and a calmness that comes from spending time with God?
Is there evidence, both physically and spiritually that you spend time with God?

Runners!!! Yay!!

Wow, the blog's looking great, i wanna spend the whole evening here...well i woudnt be writing of course but just staring...O yah!!

For those who were thinking that you had lost me i have good news for you, not yet. :). Its not an easy task running more than one marathon, actually two very crucial marathons but God has been faithful. Talking of running more than one marathon i realize a day will come when i will have to run more than two marathons. Question is, will i be prepared for that and if i will be prepared will it be for the right kind of a race?

To all the peeps i have had a chance to talk to ya'll know that i have been all over Romans 12:1&2 from the beginning of the year and am still holding on to this verse. For me, this has been a guide to knowing what Gods will for my life really is. And for the many times that things do not work the way i would want them to...remembering that Gods will for my life is good, pleasing and perfect really encourages me.

Verse 2 of Romans 12 says: Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.Simple, Gods will for my life is good, pleasing and perfect...but i will only know what it is...ONCE i have been transformed BY THE RENEWING of my mind...

What really is transformation and how does the renewing of our minds bring about the...transformation? Do we undergo some kind of process? Say like Mind-Renewal-sis? What is needed for this process to take place, tools...chemicals....labour...amount of time etc? And at what point would you say process is finished, good job you can now go home you are nolonger a work in progress but a finished good, that is, if we will ever get to that point here?

As i continue pondering on this...feel free to share your insights so that we all can be blessed and be renewed...

BRB!!
