Winning the War


There is so much good around me and yet for some unknown reason I seem to be in the lows, something in the air seems to be aiming for me but I am determined to win this heaviness with the lightness that comes from my anchor.

This anchor is the Lord of Lords, the Alpha and Omega and if like me you sometimes have your doubts he is on the winning side and if we lean on Him, the winning rubs onto us.
 As expected, I started the year with lots of positivity, this time more than ever before, the change of the old to new guard festivities were even less evident because of my geographical location that leaves me with  no numbers to make up for what is lacked in the physical with the social. However I was well aware of the dates, and armed with gratitude for the crossing over. I gave up on the resolutions a long time ago and instead opted for a theme to see me through the year. This is especially amplified because as I looked back at last year, what had happened seemed to resonate with my theme.

So I have spent the last 2 weeks of 2014 obsessed with what my theme of the year should be. This of course has rotated around the far the Lord has brought me and the far I want to go. Greater glory and something to do with favour came to mind a lot, but I think it wasn’t until yesterday that I sealed it with winning the war. When one thinks of war, naturally conflict, violence, disruption come to mind. And how very much like my life, for a war of sorts has been an inescapable and integral part of my adult life. At times it has felt that I don’t know whether I am coming or going as I vie for something that isn’t very clear.

However that is all in the past, especially as more than ever before, I am not only sure of what I want but I am well armed to get it. The details of that are something for another day, so all I will say in order to win the war, I am going to strive to ensure that my story evolves positively by viewing it against the backdrop of God’s truth.

I have been a Christian for so many years and in spite of that fact the question on whether God has favorites has often played in my mind. I know He doesn’t though on some days as I try to comprehend Him am certain He does, which makes Him even more interesting. Either way the sunlight is best appreciated against a lake than a swamp. So this year to win the battle and ensure I am viewing the sun and all it has to offer by the lake vis-à-vis the pond.

 I am going to linger long in Christ’s presence to receive His revelation for what is best for me.  What better way to start off winning the battle, especially as it is a known fact looking back at the men of old like David, that those who lean on the Almighty don’t do it in vain. Here is to greater glory and victory 2014.

Well who thinks of conflict at the start of the year, only a psyched in person. Psyched in for positivity and that’s why more than ever before I am determined to wear the victor’s crown this year.
