Empty Vessel

I heard the title of this post in my sleep some months ago and when I woke up, I prayed, "I refuse to be an empty vessel, I want to be a very useful vessel for your Lord" however, the words kept popping up in my mind. It wasn't until after a few weeks that I got the message the Lord was trying to pass across to me. God wants me to be an empty vessel so that He can fill me up.

See, oftentimes, we are not patient or attentive enough to actually hear and understand God when He speaks to us.

Now, unto our message: "The Empty Vessel".

The message is quite simple and straight forward - Nobody keeps pouring into an already filled vessel, if you want God to keep filling you up, you have to keep emptying yourself by continually giving of yourself to others. That's it! I honestly feel the sentence right here will suffice but this blog has never been about how I feel, it's about what God wants me to say to His people so for that reason, I'll explain some more. :)

My Testimony

Happy new month to you all.

I wanted to blog about something completely different this weekend but I felt led to share my testimony. 

Exactly one year ago, I had what I tagged "the worst birthday ever", it didn't matter how hard my family tried to make it a happy one for me, they even surprised me with a birthday cake, managed to get me out of bed and we took some fun pictures, but I knew deep down in me that I was sad. I had so many reasons to be happy and thankful but somehow, I chose the opposite. I read sometime ago that "You are the only one who can make you happy – everyone else is just a bonus" and I agree completely.   

The beginning

Yay!!! This is my very first post and I am so glad i'm finally doing this.

And my very first word to you is do not wait till tomorrow before doing what can be done today; one of my dad's favorite sayings is "procastination is a thief of time" and i have grown to learn that it is indeed very true. Anyway, point is I could have started this earlier but I had one excuse or the other and now, the time has finally come and this dream will surely come to pass. Did I hear you ask what dream? Oh well, it is actually much more than a dream, it's a mandate given to me by God "Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven." Matthew 5: 16. I am determined to do that with God's help and your support.
