SUCH TIMES

Over the years Religion has taken root in the 'church' and has kept buried the glory and power that must be seen in the body of Christ.  In this day and age, in this nation, the Latter Rain Ministry of Fiji chooses to stand to shake the frozen believers who have settled in the concept of religion and has been blinded to aspire for more.  This journey for me began when I learnt/ realized the difference between Relationship and Religion and how life with Jesus is supposed to be fulfilling, joyous and sweet and not stagnant, tiring and boring.   Within the last 5 years I've heard or come across several testimonies,word of knowledge and prophecies about Fiji being the center of revival to the world/ nations.  I've received visions and revelations myself of it happening but I've always just wondered how, when or where it was all gonna happen.  Most of us I know have been eagerly awaiting this significant event, if it hasn't already happened. Words are not en...

Sometimes Sometimes its just good to be still To be quiet, to be away. Because in these moments you realize all the things that tests your patience sometimes, all the things that contradicts your values and the things  you are striving for sometimes, all the little things that aim to  open doors to frustration, confusion and anxiety... In these moments, all of these become MEANINGLESS. POINTLESS. POWERLESS. And everything that God is, unravels before you and keeps you in selah moments every second minute. Alas, worship at its finest..... Life at its best for me. Far beyond all the questions I may have All the ponderings of my heart All the unmet "needs" All the different situations that presents itself before me The LIFE undo's me And I am made whole Again and again. and again. and again. Instantly my spirit rises And before my King I present a song and dance Only He understands The world may never comprehend How much this love really has...

Recently the Lord placed in my heart the grandeur of raising children.  It dissected my soul and spirit and has me bawling for days.   A few weeks ago a 20 year old boy was buried after being found dead outside a night club in Suva. At 20 years of age this boy has been a member of street gangs, robbed homes for fun - no joke! (and 75% of the homes in his childhood neighborhood) and thus has been in and out of jail.... and only God knows what other crimes.   His death spoke volumes to my mother. All the stories told about him at his funeral were about him being mistreated and pushed aside, passed from one home to another and the likes.  My mom was one who branded him a criminal and didnt want my brothers to have anything to do with him. (Oh we're related and used to live 3 houses away from each other.)   The stories at the funeral ached my mother's heart in realizing the kind of believer she had been in his life. and not only her. 90% of believers out th...

Today we picked Ala up from town.  (So for those who don’t know me, Ala is considered a sister who is studying at Vanuatu where Tropical Cyclone Pam just hit a few days ago.)  She is all well and smiling.  It was fun to see her again even though she had just left only a month ago or so.  We did the whole dramatic Errrr-my-gaaawwssh moment, group hug and slaps. And that’s the end of my entry today.  Thanks for reading. I just wanted to share that. Lol. We look super excited right? haha JOKES!!! Okay. This didn’t dawn on me until Esita shared that seeing Ala all joyful and well  after a devastating natural disaster in Vanuatu spoke volumes to her on JOY after the storm; that whatever storm you feel you’re in right now, God is right there with you and He will definitely be right there on the other side ready to give us a group hug and the likes.  So much joy!   So for me, seeing her brought only two words to mind: SECOND CHANCE...

And 2015 is on the GO ! Today I’m encouraged that there’s no place in this world where His love won’t find me. No place. Not even in myself.  I can do all the chores in the world, watch never ending movies, be in all the ‘perfect’ places and act like a tourist, (trying to get myself distracted more or less…) but His love is still right there by me.  He is always right here with me.  In this moment where I am contemplating spending time with Him and being anxious of unnecessary wants – mine and others, I find Him patiently waiting, chilling and watching me intently. Hmmph. Another year….. Another year of sitting in lecture rooms hoping that the brilliant point that you just got from the lecturer is exactly what he wants his students to take out of all he said Another year of doing errands for that uptight/cool (when he wants to be) kinda boss Another year of being adventurous with crazy friends Another year of learning from mistakes in all its silliness ...

So many opinions, so many to-do’s So many are hurt, angry and confused It got me to ask God for His “Lord what about what you think?”    “ I JUST WANT MY SON, ” says the Lord 2015 broke off with a blow to a lot of those around me in this season.  Everyone responded or is responding differently saying and doing different things to justify their emotion or opinion ……………. which I completely understand.  In the midst of all these different reactions, I crept in to that little spot in my heart to inquire of HIS opinion or HIS mind or idea in all this mess.  Everyone knows the story of the prodigal son.  My highlight from this story, is something I learnt not too long ago in a Bible study.  That moment when the Father reaches the Son and the Son says, “I have sinned against heaven and in your sight; I am no longer worthy to be called your son.” The very next verse goes like, “   But the father said to his bond servants, Bring quic...
