What do I mean by employing God you ask?  I know the word ’employ’ may sound offensive to some. Trust me it’s not what you think. It all depends on your understanding of the word. Engage God or your Creator in all the affairs of your life. In order to employ or engage someone, you need to speak and listen to them. He is your creator and He longs to communicate with you. Many people are not aware of this fact and end up expecting a ‘go-between’ between them and their Creator. This has resulted in the rise of so many ‘Gurus’ who claim to have the closest relationship with a greater power, ‘you just come and listen to what we’ve received’ complex. This is a lazy approach to our spirituality.

DIY (do it yourself) it. Listen for yourself and receive directly from your creator. A relationship is expected and He has provided a perfect way for that. According to the great text ‘Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken  (and still speaking) to us through his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things and through whom He created the world’. Hebrews 1:1. Precedents were outlined in the old covenant where we are told God communed with Abraham about His plans for his environment which enabled Abraham to ask for specific changes through intercession.

God is everywhere, omnipresent, and knows all things. He is in everyone who is prepared to accept Him into their lives. He is waiting for us to MAKE UP OUR MINDS as to His next assignment which He is dead-keen, anxious to manifest for us, and more than capable of doing so. That’s what pleases him. He can only do stuff for us if we ask or allow him to do so. Many times we have this notion that God will do….regardless. remember He gave you free will and will not interfere in your life without your permission. This is why many blame God and say ‘can’t He see’ the suffering in the world. Yes, He can but ask. Trust me some beggars love the begging world and would not leave it for anything. Some people love their state and will not change even if given the opportunity. Many do and they need to be asking correctly for a change of situation.

How do you engage your Creator?

• Ask and it shall be given.
• Knock and the door to your opportunities will be opened.
• Seek and you will find.

You may call these steps anything, some people call it praying, others call it meditating. Whatever it is called doesn’t matter. You are speaking to your Creator and He will respond.  Give the Supreme Creator something to work on.   It could be as simple as asking Him to open doors of opportunity for you. When those doors of opportunity arise, don’t forget to be a blessing to someone. We are blessed to be a blessing. Whatever you need, ask, if the answer doesn’t show up straight away, thank Him for the answer! Believe you receive is the language of the spiritual world. Faith is the language of the spirit world.

Just ask for big things too! He is unlimited. Please ask, he is waiting to hear for you. Sometimes it is not necessary to ask for things but to just enjoy each other’s presence. Employ Him, engage Him. He wants a job too, that’s why He is there within you…Take a walk down your street. Get the feeling that you and He are all that you see. For you ARE! Look at every blade of grass or pebble or birds, just look at anything and feel His Presence in it, listen closely and hear Him saying to you “Hey dude, here I AM, If you believe in Me as I believe in you, then give me something to do. You are boss!

Have you received a letter of concern, spread it out before your Creator.



I am reminded of a story in the Book, where a King named Hezekiah received a threatening letter from another king, more powerful than him. King of Assyria demanded worship and even warned King Hezekiah not to trust God. This was said of Hezekiah before this incident “Hezekiah put his whole trust in the God of Israel. There was no king quite like him, either before or after. He held fast to God—never loosened his grip—and obeyed to the letter everything God had commanded Moses. And God, for his part, held fast to him through all his adventures”.

The King’s servant had a very humiliating letter for Hezekiah in his possession. He started making threats speaking loud to everyone’s hearing. “Please, speak to us in the Aramaic language. We

understand Aramaic. Don’t speak in Hebrew—everyone crowded on the city wall can hear you.” Defiantly, the Assyrian King’s servant replied ”We weren’t sent with a private message to your master and you; this is public—a message to everyone within earshot. After all, they’re involved in this as well as you; if you don’t come to terms, they’ll be eating their own turds and drinking their own pee right along with you.” What a frightening message both to the King and his subjects.

“Any big problem is a big opportunity…. No problem, No opportunity, No Business…. Nobody will pay you for solving a non-problem.” Vinod Kholsa

Every Business is solving a problem. People are paying for solutions by buying a product or service. Problems are said to be the universe’s way of helping us to learn to accept reality. These problems can help to show our fortitude and energy. We should never see times of adversity as time to complain but as the time to ask:

• What new lesson is life trying to teach me.
• What new skill am I about to unleash in me
• What new contacts is this about to give me.
• Who would be the beneficiaries of my  new opportunities
• What problem am I  prepared to solve

It is important to always look at the positive side of events that happens around you.  You may be refused at a job interview. That job may not be yours at the time. An opportunity may turn up in the same place later which suits better. Shali went for an interview and was refused because there was a better-suited candidate. A feedback for the interviewer revealed,  ‘ You did very well and your presentation was the best but for the particular post requirement, we had a perfect match’. Later a new vacancy arose and she was requested for. Her job at the time was going through a restructuring and her post was being suspended. The new job offers more hours and better work satisfaction.  A woman tele evangelist once narrated how she began to run her own ministry. ‘I was sacked from one job or the other’. ‘I started running small meetings and it blossomed’ she said. She could have sat complaining and do nothing about her situations.

A Primary School teacher asked her pupils to write an essay on ”A wish you want from God?” At the end of the day, the teacher collected all the essays given by her pupils. She took them to her house, sat down and started marking.

Whilst marking the essays, she sees a strange essay written by one of her pupils. That essay made her very emotional. Her husband came and sat beside her and saw her crying. The husband asked her, “What happened, What’s making you cry?”

She answered “Read this. It is one of my pupil’s essay.”

“Oh God, Make me a Television. I want to live like the TV in my house.

In my house, the TV is very valuable. All of my family members sit around it. They are very interested in it. When the TV is talking, my parents listen to it very happily.

They don’t shout at the TV. They don’t quarrel with the TV. They don’t slap the TV. So I want to become a TV.

The TV is the centre of attraction in my house. I want to receive the same special care that the TV receives from my parents. Even when it is not working, the TV has a lot of value.

When my dad and mom come home, they immediately sit in front of the TV, switch it on and spend hours watching it. The TV is stealing the time of my dad and my mom. If I become a TV, then they will spend their time with me.

While watching the TV, my parents laugh a lot and they smile many times. But I want my parents to laugh and smile with me also. So please God make me a TV.

And last but not the least, if I become a TV, surely I can make my parents happy and entertain them. Lord I won’t ask you for anything more. I just want to live like a TV. Please turn me into a TV.

Fear is real.  It is sometimes disguised as excuses.  It is defined as False Evidence Appearing Real. ‘Fear not’ appears 365 times in the bible some say.It doesn’t  appear exactly as quoted but could be ‘be courageous’. It is a destiny robber. It is the creator of many identified and unidentified diseases. Fear and doubt are twins. It is crippling. Fear if not dealt with can lead to health issues, especially mental ones like anger, hate and the list going on.

Fear can come in dressed in many attires:

• Fear of failure (caution)
• Fear of the unknown
• Fear of success (always disguised in false humility)
• Fear of anything technical
• Fear of people
• Fear of heights
• Fear of Loss
• Fear of rejection

Is it possible to be give thanks always? Why should I give thanks when bad things are happening to me? This is only possible from a place of faith, knowing that my life is not my own and that a higher one is directing the affairs of my life. Let’s have a look at a command: ‘Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus’ is a well known verse in the Big book. It means if I don’t live a life of thankfulness, I am not aligning myself with the will of Christ Jesus.

Three things mentioned in that verse:

1. Rejoice always
2. Pray continually
3. Give thanks always

How can we be joyful in our difficult human situation? Romans 5:3-4 says, “Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope.” There is a purpose for your ‘temporary’ suffering. With an attitude of faith, you can overcome.

Another version : Always be joyful, always keep on praying.  No matter what happens, always be thankful for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.
