Hey,my blog has moved to
http://adjaamy.wordpress.com/ ...Love and blessings...

Your destiny is great!!!

2010-04-25T22:52:00.005+01:00

A while ago, someone sent me an email and asked ‘Are you a Pastor’? What do you intend to achieve by doing what you are doing?’ I smiled and I thank God for filling my heart with the right words with which to respond.

I’m a firm believer in God because I know no other way to make it without Him!! I don’t send you mails or write a blog because I feel like writing. I do what I do not because I want to, nor because I’m forced too but because that is what I’m called to do. I’m simply obeying the call and I do so without apologies or fear of who will read this or not!!

As a new week lies ahead, I encourage you out of experience to embrace the love which God freely gives. He is the beginning to a GREAT DESTINY! Your yesterday might not have been beautiful but your tomorrow promises to be better if only you will give way to Him in your life! You may be judged by your present predicament but that is in no way your defining factor. Don’t ever let anyone classify or set standards for your life; you are only what God say you are and nothing less. God’s standard is your measuring rod!!!

Don’t think of giving up; it’s never too late for God to bring about a turnaround, to change the chapters of your life. You’re never too old not to achieve destiny!!! You don’t know what God is working in your favour. Where you are at now is only a temporary season which is sure to fade and give way to a refreshing; Like Mya says in her song ‘After the rain’: ‘After the rain the sun shines then a brighter day; After the rain change comes nothing stays the same; Things gonna change; There’s no more pain after the rain’.

In conclusion. I say: ‘God can bypass every natural and man-made law to change your story. He is able to clean you and change you and dress you up with a new garment. Your destiny is great so please, I pray thee, don’t throw in the towel.' ”Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland. Isaiah 43:18-19 (NIV).

Have a fulfilled and rewarding week!!!

Love and Blessings,
Adja Amy.

' Yesterday is but a dream,and tomorrow only a vision;but today well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness and every tomorrow a vision of hope.Look well therefore to this day' (Indian poem).

One step at at time,enjoy the life God has given you.Somewhere somehow someone is wishing they were you!Be thankful even when it seems it's all coming up to nothing.God sure works ,I am a testimony.Promise yourself to sow seeds of positive thoughts,words and actions.Improve your relationship with others ;commit yourself to do those things that will make you a better and more confident person.I've seen several changes in my life and I know it isnt impossible for you too.

Have a rewarding week and remember I love you!!

Letter from God !

2010-01-09T15:28:00.000+00:00

Hello My child,

I just thought I would say a word to remind you that I am not far from you, I am nearer than you ever can know or feel.

I am Your Father and I am assuring you that each time you call upon me, I hear you regardless of the multitude that is calling My Name from all over the earth! You are so special to me that I know just how to single out your voice amongst many.

I love you that much, no wonder I am allowing you go through that which you are going through. You see-You need to be solid; I need to be sure of your ability to stand firm upon Me, Your rock, even in the fiercest storm without renouncing that I am Your God or giving up on your faith. I have to trust you enough in order to entrust to you more than enough.

My child, I’m here. I’m only working so be patient with me. It’s never ever too late for me or with me. Age to me is a number . Don’t overlook the obvious here, My love. With Me, one day is as good as a thousand years, a thousand years as a day. I am never late with my promise as some measure lateness. I am restraining myself on account of you, holding back the End because I don't want anyone lost. I’m giving you space and time to change. The branches that don’t belong must go.They must go giving way to new branches; new growth, yes, new growth. New growth in your spiritual, emotional, financial, educational life; new Growth in your health, career and every bit that concerns you, loving, precious seed of Mine!
If only you will give me a little more time, you will eat the fattest bones. I am able and my Hands are not too short to save or deliver you. Do I open the womb and not deliver the baby? Do I, the One who delivers babies, shut the womb?

Be rest assured I am not a wayward God. I don’t start a thing and cut it off mid-way. I complete what ever I put my hands to because I am the Beginning and the End; Alpha and Omega of your life!

The enemy is ringing in your head that you have come to your wit’s end and that there is just no way out. Don’t mind him, he comes only to steal, kill and destroy but I have come to give you life in all its abundance.
Your family and friends have given you options which compromises what you stand for. Shortcuts to the next level have cropped up. You have become the mockery of the town and throwing in the towel seems to be the only way through and out. Please don’t fall for any of it son! Even though you feel unloved, rejected or abandoned; you only be still and know that I am God and at the end of your trial, you will exalt me for the testimony. Are you not aware that I will even make a roadway in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert? I love you more than any man can and would ever so R.E.L.A.X!!!

"I'll make up for the years of the locust, the great locust devastation—locusts savage, locusts deadly, fierce locusts, locusts of doom, that great locust invasion I sent your way. You’ll eat your fill of good food. You'll be full of praises to your God; The God who has set you back on your heels in wonder. Never again will I despise you. You’ll know without question that I'm in the thick of life with you, that I'm your God, yes, your God, the one and only real God.Never again will I despise you.

One more thing: All this is for your good. I sympathize with you, I know your pain and weaknesses so I can’t and will never leave nor forsake you.Even to your old age and even to your grey hairs, I will carry and deliver you! Yes, I'm on my way to visit you with Judgment. I'll present compelling evidence against sorcerers, adulterers, liars, those who exploit you, those who take advantage of you, those who are inhospitable to you—anyone and everyone who doesn't honour me." I wont put on you more than you can bear.You can handle this!

Will you wait on me?

Lots of love
God, Your Father!

Keep life simple!!

2009-12-14T00:50:00.000+00:00

"Life can be complicated, but happiness is simple. I don't know about you, but my world is not all perfect. I have doubts, fears and face disappointments and hurt, but Faith in God keeps me standing through; the ability to encourage myself in the word and the ability to receive doses of inspiration from others to bring me back to where I should be when I loose it & to re-direct me to what’s really important in life."

“The object of love is not getting something you want but doing something for the well-being of the one you love” (John C. Maxwell)

I trust all is well with you! I pray the week brings forth fulfillement!

I thought I’d share in no particular order; few inspirational quotes I have been blessed with from the word, family, friends, and ministers I have been privileged to receive from through the years! Don't mind the length (lol). You don’t have to read them all at once; keep them and draw strength once in a while like I do. You can use these to inspire others too but please do remember to give honour to whom honour is due by mentioning the person from whom the quote derives from .Thanks and many blessings!

NO ONE CAN STOP YOUR RAIN!

2009-11-25T12:40:00.000+00:00

No matter how much the clouds fight to stop rain from falling on earth, it does not prevail when it is its due time.

''Isaiah 55:8-11 (The Message)
8-11"I don't think the way you think. The way you work isn't the way I work." God's Decree. "For as the sky soars high above earth, so the way I work surpasses the way you work, and the way I think is beyond the way you think.

Just as rain and snow descend from the skies and don't go back until they've watered the earth, Doing their work of making things grow and blossom, producing seed for farmers and food for the hungry, So will the words that come out of my mouth not come back empty-handed. They’ll do the work I sent them to do; they’ll complete the assignment I gave them.
My Father said to me and He is saying same to you ''If I can let the sun give way for my rain to water the earth, then I can pour rain on all your issues and allow for a fresh start in spite of how difficult the fight is or has been ’’
Most often, before it rains, it get a bit cloudy and the atmosphere uncomfortable but then comes the rain and after,there is a refreshing.If God can send down abundant rain to nourish the leaves of a tree and to cause it to blossom and no one has the power to stop it, how much more rain then would He not shower us whom He created in His own image and; likeness with?

Whatever you are going through big or small, believe that God is sure to send rain on you and when He decides,no one can do a thing about it.You may find yourself in a desert and dry land but God says to you: He will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: Is 44:3:‘KJB No one can stop your rain!

Selah! Love and Blessings!

Assumption-A seed of destruction!

2009-11-17T01:46:00.000+00:00

Assumption-A seed of destruction

If I ever begin to recount on all the things God has delivered me from, it may take eternity, yet still it is my duty to testify because by it ANOTHER MAY RECEIVE HEALING & RESTORATION!

A friend of mine today said to me, don’t you think it is a bit risky when you share your personal experiences with other people ESPECIALLY IF A MAN IS READING!

I laughed, she had a point somehow considering the world today but my reply was :’’ If God has redeemed us from the enemy, is it not just right to share the freedom with a ‘Nemo’ as Rita Twiggs puts it ?
Our testimony is essential because it builds and reminds another that nothing is impossible and that one can change if only he/she sets his/her heart at it. We don’t just testify of the mansion, car, and all. We must share our inner change as well. No wonder I love Joyce Meyer .She shares it as it is and is not ashamed of her.

For long, I had been a victim so to say of ASSUMPTION.I was always assuming without getting to the foundation of a matter.

Assumption is deadly. When you assume, a door which serves as access to the enemy becomes wide open. He then erodes your mind with creative, cunning imagination of things which in reality do not exist.
Assumption gives birth to suspicion, then jealousy and quarrel and if blown out of proportion, separation.

I had a friend and even though we had a great relationship, there were weaknesses on both sides. Constantly, I would find myself assuming at every open opportunity. Whenever I did not get a reply to my calls, messages or an appointment was changed, and first thing that will cross my mind were ungodly thoughts.

I am so glad today I can boldly stand and say that I am FREE and free indeed! People have reasons for everything they say or do. Your only duty is to believe and be wise. If anyone is unavailable to talk or reply a message instantly, it may be that they are not readily available, are busy or maybe even in a dilemma. That does not for a fact mean they are undermining or avoiding you. Look at the bright side; don’t just base your thoughts on the negative.

Do not bring yourself down low by assuming because that is what it does to you. It cheapens and destroys you very often. So don’t make assumption your first step in any circumstance. Make your own discovery not based on ear-say or your emotions and thoughts. Get to the root of the matter before passing judgement or crucifying someone.

The enemy does not love it when and where there is peace so assumption is one of his deadly tools for destruction. He’s come to kill, steal and destroy but God has come to give you life abundantly.

If you are tangled in the web of assumption or acting by rumours, I pray you will learn to trust and rely on God for help; be willing to change and take steps that actually lead you to change. Believe you can because aint nobody gonna do the believing in you better than you Sweetheart.
Summing it all up, friends, I'd say you'll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious—the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse. Put into practice what you learned from me, what you heard and saw and realized. Do that, and God, who makes everything work together, will work you into his most excellent harmonies. Philippians 4:8 (The Message)

What do you do when nothing works?

2009-11-08T14:34:00.001+00:00

Are you trying to reach God and you cannot just get hold of His hand??

Are you struggling with your joy and peace because it seems that thing is just never going to happen?

Does it look like you are ceaselessly trying to open a door with the wrong keys?

Do the several hurdles you see look insurmountable?

Has impossibility become the order of the day in your life?

Does it look like you are not making progress and are stuck in a dead end?

Well friend, I want to encourage you today. We all at one point in time go through a period of darkness ,a season in a very deep valley and the way of escape is not readily present.

I have been in the valley, I have faced hurdles, struggled with peace and joy and I still I am. The good thing is, it has all become so better and easy since I realized by myself I can do nothing but with God, impossibility does not ring a bell.

When it seems like nothing works, Just BELIEVE GOD, get rid of the negative and have FAITH.

It is not your worry,tears,complaints that moves the hand of God, it’s the faith you have. Abraham had faith and He moved God’s hand. You do not have to push, step on or tear down another to succeed; just ask of God and have faith.

Get rid of doubt and thoughts of the past. God will never consult your past to determine your future you know and hey He has not and would never forget you.

James 1:7-8 (The Message)
“5-8If you don't know what you're doing, pray to the Father. He loves to help. You'll get his help, and won't be condescended to when you ask for it. Ask boldly, believing , without a second thought. People who "worry their prayers" are like wind-whipped waves. Don't think you're going to get anything from the Master that way, adrift at sea, keeping all your options open.”

It takes faith to pray. It takes knowing God and getting rid of doubt every time it shows its ugly face to build faith.
*Open and loose your mind to possibility.
*Do not allow the events of rejection take hold of your destiny
*Break those limitations, expand your horizon and have faith!
*Do not be afraid of the future. God holds the world in his hands and He is faithful enough to supply your need.
*Fear not your accusers, God is more than able to break the teeth of all of our opposers.

Faith is the answer, I have tried it and each time, it yields result no matter how long it takes!

Love and blessings!

REDUCE ME TO LOVE

2009-11-08T11:37:00.000+00:00

For a while now, God has impressed upon my heart this statement: REDUCE ME TO LOVE.

God is love and if we are to be imitators of Him in this world, it is imperative that you and I be reduced to nothing but love. 1John 4:7, 8, 11

‘’ 7Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.

8Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.

11 Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.’’

Without love we are nothing but a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. Even if we give all we possess to the poor and surrender our bodies to the flames, but have not love, we gain nothing. Without love we cannot claim we love or know God talk less of loving another.

The love God desires you and I to be reduced to is not emotional but Agape-The God kind of love.

Emotional love is based on conditions –I can love you only if, when, except but God’s love expects nothing in return.

How often do we hear or even say ourselves,” I love you because you are beautiful;’’, "I love you because you take good care of me;" or "I love you just because you are fun to hang out with"?

We must not just love someone because they fulfill a condition we require.

Our measure of love for others determines the depths of our love and relationship with God. How I can I love an unseen God if I cannot first love the person next to me, the one I can see.Rom 5:5 God’s love is shed abroad in our heart so we may in return share it with as many as He places on our way.

God is love and whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him. We simply do His will when we begin to love. Love is the essence of WHO He is .1 John 4:9-18.

The love we must have is one that shows no partiality (Acts 10:34) because God does not show partiality nor is He a respecter of persons. The way we treat people who are in no position to offer us little or nothing in return shows just how much love there is within us. Love honours and respects everyone equally. It does not favor one above the other.

Love pulls us out of bondage and into freedom and liberty. Have you ever realized that when you hate someone,and are resentful, you are kind of imprisoned within yourself but when you love, such a peace erodes your heart?

Love completes and gives us a sense of fulfillment.Let us live life loving, it is a command. The essence of life is love; I pray you be reduced to love.

MY CONFESSION

Father, my desire is that you reduce me to love; teach me how to share the love You have shed abroad my heart with my neighbor so I can then learn to love you better….

Reduce me to a love not based on emotions or conditions but a love with no strings attached. Reduce me to a love that gives and does not withhold good when I am able to. Reduce me to a love that forgives and remembers no more. Reduce me to the God-kind of love in Jesus’ Name!

‘’Luke 6:35 But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked’’

Love and blessings!
