The Holiness of 2020

Image
 What do I mean by the Holiness of 2020?  All this year has brought about for me is revelling in the God who IS.  A few years ago I was in a series of horrible situations. I was doing good/ right and got stabs in return. I didnt even want to be there But God led me there - in dreams, in prophetic, in visions and words of affirmations and confirmations and through His word, I was adamantly led to be right, there.  It was HARD. I mean, I cried myself to sleep most nights. I just wanted to be obedient but I didn't even know in what exactly. I just knew I was supposed to be there. They were not my normal. That whole season and it's people were not what I was familiar with. And being the overly introverted one (specifically in that season), it was definitely one of the hardest things I've ever had to brave - choosing to stay.  Amidst all of the fleshly craziness of that season, on the spiritual side of things, there were massive heavy revelations and prophecies bei...

Carrying It On

Image
Okay. Today was precious to my soul.  We buried Tital's (Crystal) mum. ๐Ÿ˜”  I really went to attend the funeral to just soak in Gods goodness and honour a beautiful life/journey.   I didnt really know her personally but through Sipi I got to experience a part of her through their friendship and her daughter- Crystal.  It brought out a lot of things for me.  Mainly obedience and friendship.  Obedience because I would not have EVER known and be acquainted with these people without following the Lord.  Obedience is a crazy thing. In the moment you hate it; it's scary and lonely and you feel like you're losing yourself bc most of the time you have no idea how long it will be, how far it will go, how much more you're going to lose in order to gain.  But through friendships, you feel a little better, live a little better and flow a little freer and when its finally time for you to carry on, you give an ugly cry because while you walked in unsure a...

FRIENDSHIP ๐Ÿงก

Image
I dont have much but I have friends, AND I'd choose that over and over, over anything. ๐Ÿ˜  I mean I've tried alot of the things - committed to discipleship, committed to worship team, commitment to prophetic calling, being called a "leader", being part of a prayer core team, commitment to midnight prayers, fasting and church/ministry obligations servings, with all of me.  They were (ARE!) all wonderful things!  BUT. Apart from Jesus, only ONE real thing sustained me through all of those "glorious" things, and it is FRIENDSHIP.  In the drive to "stay the path" and remain obedient to the call, One can easily lose themselves when it is without friendship. If friendship is not present, the whole thing falls apart. And for me, quite frankly, alot of things have fallen apart bc friendship was not the goal, and so in pursuing God and receiving restoration thereof, the only thing I am after this time around, above all, is friendship. Not the fancy titles,...

Mid Year Reflections

Image
"2020 - I will never forget you" - bus ride thoughts in the a.ms imagining what it will be like when things fully normalize again.  i will not forget the saving of souls and declarations of faith by the MASSES in the history of mankind.  I will not forget the calling on Jehovah Rapha when all man made theologies have reached their end  I will not forget the closing down of airports, countries, cities AND churches.  I will not forget the warmth of hymns and worship bursting forth from different homes on Sundays  I will not forget the church being strongly reminded of whom to serve and how to really serve and that is, from the heart of God and not from theology or well thought out doctrines  I will not forget the God who breaks the norm just so His people call on Him again I willl not forget the going back to original ways of living and surviving because modernization has failed us to a certain extent  I will not forget the God who breaks, shakes, and re...

Ucataumuri Remnants ๐Ÿ’›

Something this pandemic season has been highlighting for me THE MOST are the fulfilling of things once foretold - prophecy, dreams and visions in the Cunningham season. and it all just keeps me quiet QUIET. like idk what to do with all these feels but just letting myself soak it all in and chill.    It all  breaks me purely - in the sense that I am being humbled by the perfection of clarity this season has been giving me about that season.   I miss it - listening to teachings everyday. I cherish it. I hold it all close to my heart because that really happened and Im really still basking in the glory of it all - not in a unhealthy creepy way  (minus the toxic stuff ) but just in the sense there is so much to take out from that season and Im still gathering it all 3 years later.     [Unnecesary info but, To the point where I removed all my songs and only added the ministry songs + some others to keep me sane and liberated through...

Mothers Day specials. ๐Ÿ’

Mothers day week is usually a celebration of three significant things for us as a family.  Celebrating motherhood, our spiritual birthday for us older sibs and our Tata's birthday.  Today on this spiritual birthday I had cake delivered to me for no reason. Sis dont even know how much that blessed my heart.   Theres so much to acknowledge when it comes to this Jesus. He's the real deal. Over and over again. ๐Ÿ’ Here's a snippet of the journey - each picture representing a significant season and memory. ๐Ÿ’›  Grateful.  [Song: Over and Over by Riley Clemmons] ๐Ÿ”ฝ

Lockdown Entries

Let me just write out my prayer for all these. "Father. May hearts be stirred for You. May hearts be shaken to move FOR You. May lives be enriched, encouraged, uplifted, rekindled to live for You. and it doesnt have to be huge or known and seen by the world - just be seen and known by You. That these pennings will go forth and serve and comfort and generate peace wherever it is received. For Your Names sake. Amen."  Please note, I am totally talking to myself (lol) or an invisible audience or my journal or God in all these. I like recording or taking notes of ALL that is happening or all that speaks to my heart/interests accordingly.  H ere's a few...  March 31st, 2020:  Truth bomb: "We were already in crises with the vitriol,...loss of empathy for each other, ..ignoring genderism, racism, and a general mood of disrespect and narcissism. We were already in a crises globally!"   - Bishop TD Jakes on Instagram   April 5th...

Meet Vilisi

Tell us about yourself: Name, Married or Single; What do you do. Bula. I am Vilisi Cakacaka. I am married and am a missionary for Campus Crusade for Christ along with my husband.   What is Campus Crusade for Christ? Campus Crusade for Christ (CRU) is an inter denomination Christian organization. It is a caring community passionate about connecting people to Jesus.   We are committed to helping fulfill the great commission through Community ministry, Family Life ministry and Student Life ministry.   Tell us about your story – how or why you joined ministry. I got involved in to CRU through Student Life ministry. I first heard about Student Life in 2009 through a friend but it wasn't until a year later when i got involved through attending Bible studies. Through these Bible studies I got to understand what it really means to be   a “Christian” and that it is an individual journey with God.   Understanding this truth opened my eyes to see ...

What A Time To Be Alive!

Image
In all of this COVID19 craze, I just want to honour our mother.    Globally the churches in this pandemic have gathered and prayed Psalm 91 over the world.   What a time to be alive!  I feel comforted by it all because our mother made us learn it and say it over ourselves veisiga kece e bulia na Kalou (every single day of our lives). Of course there are times when it was said out of boredom and routine BUT all in all  reaping its favourable results.  Harm may have come our way over the years but we're still here - surviving. Shame may have tried its course but never succeeded. Death may have thought to wear us out but it never kept us down.  Fear gripping us by the neck, but never lasted its course.  She will never have to prove herself because she was busy long preparing her household from harm.  Mothers are a gift!  We stand tall and firm in our faith grip because while the world was teaching us how to ear...
