“”Enlarge the place of your tent, and let the curtains of your habitations be stretched out; do not hold back; lengthen your cords and strengthen your stakes.” (Isaiah 54:2)
Isaiah spoke of God’s eternal covenant of peace towards his people. He speaks in comfort to those who were barren to sing as God would multiply to them many children. Isaiah encourages those who experienced lack to raise our expectations and to take the limits off our thinking.
This in expectation of the great things that God is able to do when we expect more. This requires faith to see beyond our current circumstances and to imagine that God will expand our reach. Do not be limited in your thinking and do not limit God to what you can see and what you are used to. We have to be prepared to step well outside of our comfortable positions and to ask for more than what we think we deserve.
God promised to cause us to prosper and be in good health even as our soul prospers. (3 John 1:2) And in this season we are called to expect more and to anticipate that God is able to do far exceedingly above all we could ever ask or think. (Ephesians 3:20)
Be ambitious in essence and dare to dream much bigger than your current situation and circumstances. We serve a God of the impossible so don’t allow anyone to tell you what you can or cannot do. Throw those limiting thoughts, ideas and opinions aside and reach ahead to attain what God has in store.
“For you will spread abroad to the right and to the left, and your offspring will possess the nations and will people the desolate cities.” (Isaiah 54:3)
I am a trained Social Worker who currently provides professional leadership on a programme to support Social Work students and Newly Qualified Social Workers entering the Social Work Profession.
Born and raised in Jamaica in a Christian family where my father is an ordained Pastor and Deacon who has served for over 50 years in the ministry. My father is also a trained musician and our family can be described as a musical family. I grew up in a small farming community in St. Peter’s, St. Andrew and my parents also have a small farm.
I credit my gift of writing to my father who I watched and listened to over the years as he wrote sermons, poems and other recitals in his capacity in ministry. English has always been an easy subject for me and over the years I have developed an increased interest in writing.
I am a Trainer, I sing and have a passion for worship, the spoken word and the free flow of the prophetic anointing. I am married to my best friend Andrew Christopher Young who is an advanced Musician and whose music you can find on YouTube and Facebook. I am a trained Coach and Mentor and I love experimenting with food so I love cooking. I enjoy trying cultural dishes from across the world and I view food as an entry into cultures and languages.
