FRUIT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
Each aspect of The Fruit of the HOLY SPIRIT is everything that GOD wants us to have in us. Not just some bits and parts of it. The Bible talks about The Fruit of The HOLY SPIRIT and not Fruits of The HOLY SPIRIT, so that we never think that we can get to choose one separate fruit or fruits of our choice. Meaning that we should take all the aspects of The Fruit in all its entirety, at the same time. We don't get to choose which aspect of the Fruit suits us best, but we take one Fruit with all the aspects. You can't choose one and leave…

ABOUT THEM THAT REJOICE
Until one day I won and I was treated in the same measure and I suddenly understood how lonely it can get when you have no one to rejoice with you. When all the people that mourned with you and understood how miserable you were are no longer there to understand why you are celebrating so hard. When the messages to check up on you no longer come in as much as they did when you were mourning.

RAIN
Never walk away from someone who deserves help; your hand is GOD’s hand for that person. Proverbs 3:27 MSG We were in a vehicle some time back and it was raining quite a bit.We got to an area on our way where the Rain suddenly stopped and I was observing the cars that were moving in the opposite direction, towards the Rain. They looked clean and dry.I couldn’t help it but think… “What if the drivers moving in the opposite direction were wondering why the vehicle we were in was so muddy?” I told myself, “When they move ahead they will see why…”You know, like that time you are coming from an…

WE WILL NOT BOW.
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego answered the king, “O Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to answer you on this point. If it be so, our GOD Whom we serve is able to rescue us from the furnace of blazing fire, and HE will rescue us from your hand, O king. But even if HE does not, let it be known to you, O king, that we are not going to serve your gods or worship the golden image that you have set up!” Daniel 3:16 AMP We know the story of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, the three Jews who had been appointed over the administration of the Province of Babylon, during the reign of King…

WORTHY OF THE CALLING?
Therefore I, the prisoner of The LORD, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, being diligent to keep the unity of The SPIRIT in the bond of peace. There is one body and one SPIRIT, just as you also were called in one hope of your calling; one LORD, one faith, one baptism, one GOD and FATHER of all who is over all and through all and in all. Ephesians 4:1-6 NASB I couldn’t help it but ask myself, “Lydia, who called you? And if it is GOD, is your life a reflection…

LESSONS IN SILENCE
They are mainly about Ministry and Life, and one big lesson I have been given, to summarise all of the lessons, is that the state of my Personal Life will affect how I deliver the Ministry to the People GOD has called me to. Hence, it is important that I get it together and right with GOD in my Personal Life before I can bring out HIS Word. The Word of GOD is powerful and I cannot afford to speak it out to anyone before it makes a difference in my life first.

GOODBYE GOODBYE HALLO HALLO
As we move away from a year that has tested most of us in outrageous ways, I feel the need to share with us what Transitions and the ending and beginning of Seasons may look like. I know that most of us associate a New Year with the same and so what a better time to share what is in my heart about this. I pray that this will be an eye-opening experience for you and if this is for you, (because how hard these messages came wouldn’t be in vain) may GOD help you move or mind shift however quickly you need to. Transitions and Seasons will not always come with…

Let me tell you how the story ends... If you are in CHRIST, GOD wins, you win.Victory will never start from you. It always starts and will always start with CHRIST. If I were to end this letter here, my point is home. But you know Lydia. She speaks in Blogs.

THE GRACE HUB
If we were all righteous and free from sin, then CHRIST died in vain. But we were all in need of the Redeeming Sacrifice that JESUS made. Isn't this where Grace is? Isn't this The Grace Hub?

MINISTRY… EASY JOY, HARD RESPONSIBILITY
I was running away from a responsibility I knew just how crazy it can get. I had seen my Dad going through it and the agility and strength he went on with it. Living a life during the Week that would have to resemble his Preaching on Sunday. It was easy to see how much he enjoyed it, but I had to get into his shoes to understand that Ministry is not in the genes... It's a GOD-Calling.
