The End, The New Beginning
‘True, God made everything beautiful in itself and in its time—but He’s left us in the dark, so we can never know what God is up to, whether He’s coming or going’ Ecc.3:11 [MSG]
The third phase of transition is the end, the new beginning phase. This is when you see the fulfillment of God’s prophecy in your life. You have been trusting God for a life partner all along. He has led you past the end of your single days and the beginning of your transitioning phase. Then He took you to the wilderness when He renewed your mind, changed your Read the rest of this entry
The Wilderness Experience
‘But just experiencing God’s wonder and grace didn’t seem to mean much—most of them were defeated by temptation during the hard times in the desert, and God was not pleased’ 1 Cor.10:5 [MSG]
The wilderness experience is the second phase in transition. This is the phase where you are waiting on God. God has given you a word or a promise yet you are in the wilderness. I have news for you; you can make your wilderness what you want it to be. The wilderness phase is a place for you to build faith. You Read the rest of this entry
The End, The Beginning
‘These are all warning markers—danger!—in our history books, written down so that we don’t repeat their mistakes. Our positions in the story are parallel—they at the beginning, we at the end—and we are just as capable of messing it up as they were’ 1 Cor.10:11 [MSG]
There are three phases of transition. The first is the end, the beginning. Transition always starts with an end. You put an end to something, and then something new begins. God put an end to the slavery of the children of Israel and their freedom begun. The end of their slavery in Egypt was the beginning of Read the rest of this entry
Transition III
‘A right time to search and another to count your losses, A right time to hold on and another to let go’ Ecc.3:6 [MSG]
With transition you can either emerge a victor or you emerge a victim. When we transition properly, we are full of life and are victors. When people fail to transition properly, they become victims which results in constant complaints. When people have changed but do not transition, the past begins to look good.

Transition II
‘A right time for birth and another for death, A right time to plant and another to reap’ Ecc.3:2 [MSG]
Effective transition leads to growth. When we transition, we are growing, maturing, learning, improving, and acquiring knowledge and skills. We are victorious and can become experts in that sector or in that relationship. But when people do not transition properly, they are filled with misery. People Read the rest of this entry
Transition I
‘There’s an opportune time to do things, a right time for everything on the earth’ Ecc.3:1 [MSG].
The dictionary defines transition as a passage; a change from one position, one state, a stage or a concept to another. Transition is like a channel that leads you from ‘point A’ to ‘point B’. In Ecclesiastes 3:1-8, the Bible talks about seasons and that everything is not in a fixed state. God made different seasons. There Read the rest of this entry
Please Be With Me
‘…Please be with me in all that I do, and keep me from all trouble and pain!” And God granted him his request.’1 Chro.4:10
The fourth thing that we can learn from Jabez is that Jabez longed for a relationship with God. He did not stop at asking to be blessed; Jabez went further to ask God to be with him. When a Jew says to the Lord ‘be with me’, he is saying ‘be the Lord of my life and be in control of my life’. God cannot go with Read the rest of this entry
What Do You Want?
‘…Oh, that you would bless me and expand my territory! Please be with me in all that I do, and keep me from all trouble and pain!” And God granted him his request.’1 Chro.4:10
The third thing we can learn from Jabez is that he articulated what he wanted. He must have sat down and thought through what he wanted from God before going to God. For some of us when it is time to make the request, we stand before God but we cannot say anything. Yet when you are out of there the Read the rest of this entry
God Will Make A Way
‘God is my strong fortress, and He makes my way perfect’ 2Sam.22:33
The second thing we must learn from Jabez is that’s since there is a God, there is a way. Jabez did not resign to fate. Unfortunately, for some people instead of focusing on God in the presence of Peninnah, they turn away from God and start seeking solutions in many other things. The Bible says, ‘He was the one Read the rest of this entry
Until You Bless Me
‘He was the one who prayed to the God of Israel, “Oh, that you would bless me and expand my territory! Please be with me in all that I do, and keep me from all trouble and pain!” And God granted him his request.’1 Chro.4:10
Oh, that this will be your song to God this season. That this year will not end until you get all that God has promised. Jacob was facing a life threatening situation. He knew that He did not stand a chance against Esau. And Jacob refused to let God go until things changed. ‘Your name will no longer be Read the rest of this entry
