Time to Change


When you turn back to him with all your heart, to do what is right before him, Then he will turn back to you, and no longer hide his face from you. So now consider what he has done for you, and praise him with full voice. Bless the Lord of righteousness, and exalt the King of the ages. In the land of my exile I praise him, and show his power and majesty to a sinful nation. "Turn back, you sinners! do the right before him: perhaps he may look with favor upon you and show you mercy. (Tobit 13:6)


There are times in life that change befalls us, we either take the decision to change or we stay where we are.  Most of us are scared of change, many of us would not want to, some of us will change, others will go back to where we were because we don't like the change and still there are a few who would stick it out and work with the change.

I've always loved the book "who moved my cheese" , main reason?  Its the story of our life.  We either stick to a routine and do the same thing everyday at the same time or we rush around looking for something else to do or in time of need we move on and search for the next step. 

I have reached the point in my life where I feel change is needed, I have sensed it for some time now but it was and still is very hard to make that move to change.  The last three years of my life has all been for the youth of TnT, the Caribbean and my ministry of CFC Youth for Christ.  How could I turn away, how could I move and leave them alone, how could I how could I. After many adoration times, tears, days of desolation I realised that I was not leaving anyone behind but my movements, my change was actually helping these same youths.  How? well I was giving them the opportunity to stand up on their own, the opportunity to let the seed that was planted grow, I have to now just continue to water them.  Too much water drowns plants, too little dries them up, just the right amount ensures they flourish.  So I have to let them flourish.

This change would also give me time to continue my renewal, renewal of body, mind and especially Spirit.  I must take care of my body inside and out.  The way I eat, sleep,exercise and groom,  I must continue to build up my mental capabilities and keep the brain waves active. I sure must continue to grow in the Spirit.  Deepen my prayer life even more, keep the word afresh in my mind, fast and pray for that growth and continue to share my simple wealth of time, treasure and talent with all. 

That time is now...so I challenge you!! Do you think its time for that change in your life?  Its time to get out of that desolation and find your consolation...find that place that He is calling you to....time for change

I leave with a chant made up by two dynamic persons who I look up to in different ways (guess they may know now after this blog if they read it)


Time to Change
Time to Change
Tobit 13:6
Time to give Satan real licks
Power his own, Majesty Shown
Sinful Nations overthrown
