A hunger that costs

Posted by Lusanda Mashua on Tuesday, November 1, 2011 In : Revival 



I always feel so under-qualified in the language and infantile in revival understanding, but anyone who is an ardent watcher of the times can see that something big is stirring and building across the earth. Revival is here and God brings it to refresh, recalibrate and refuel His children. I hear these amazing stories of God touching people’s lives and nations and families being turned upside down and right-side-up by His power and presence. There was a time I took offence that all these th...

Blessed are the Branded

Posted by Lusanda Mashua on Sunday, October 16, 2011 In : Just musing 


One of the most freeing moments in my life came when it dawned on me that it's okay to be a work in progess. I had spent most of my life trying to work hard at making sure that I never scared anyone away by being unwantable. So I have danced my vigourous tango with Performance, when "he" was done tossing me around in his sardonic arms, I'd go waltzing with "Fear of Man", sublimely pretending to only be "all things to all man so that I could win some over". The more I tried to run from the sha...

Faith birthed in perfect love

Posted by Mahlatse Mashua on Wednesday, September 21, 2011 In : Worshiping ever 

God is a lover. He is the furnace of ravishing affection, adoration and radical abandonment. He gives definition and substance to the mysterious concept of the love. He isn't only embodied in the feeling of love but He becomes the word, realm and atmosphere called love. Love finds its only real context in Him because He is the only One who turns a word so misunderstood, misused, and misplaced into a place. If love had a location it would be in the core of who God is.

Imagine God, so real tha...

Circles are cool with squares

A wise woman called Julia Swain once prophesied over my life: "Lusi, your creativity has made you a person of twirls and cirles. These represent the sponteneity, emotion and abstract things that make you unique. But God wants to balance you with lines, right angles and squares, representing order, discipline and reason, to make you more mature in your dynamic personality." For a second I thought: "Wait a minute, I like circles and twirls!". Mainly I was more concerned about holding on to the ...

Moving out to move them up

You know there are times when I wish we got every memo we'd ever need when we got born. Maybe it could have been a chip that gets supernaturally transplanted at the back of your neck, mainly because the back of the neck is a cool place to find a supernatural micro-chip. You've seen the movies, the unsuspecting subject finds the barcode and his face contorts and then he falls down, hands to the sky screaming "Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?" But we wouldn't lament like that guy. We would be happy beca...

That Fragile Thing that Goes Boom Boom in my Chest

Posted by Lusanda Mashua on Wednesday, August 10, 2011 In : Worshiping ever 
I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear,
 is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause 
and lies exhausted on the field of battle - victorious.
 
Vince Lombardi

 Hearts are fascinating things, you know. Though it may be the seat of understanding it can be the greatest vortex of emotional upheaval, setting your whole world on edge with speculation. Though it’s the organ most indicative of all life forms, it is the organ...

Embracing the Winter Son

Posted by Lusanda Mashua on Thursday, August 4, 2011 In : Just musing 


It’s all that beautiful here in Hillcrest today. The sun is shining unexpectedly and even though a mist-like dust hovers over this homely vista, my heart remains captured by the hope that the weather-man has smiled on this suburb again. The last time we house-sat for Wayne and Trisha it was nothing short of an unending mumbling of an unprepared ranger. Now I know better than to spend an opportunity of beholding beauty complaining. There were some things I figured out last time only two days...

When it's not rude to keep staring

Posted by Mahlatse Mashua on Tuesday, June 14, 2011 In : Worshiping ever 


 

In Revelation 5 we see a scene where the angels, creatures and elders in the Throne room are caught up in revelry and awe of the Ancient God. They have just comprehended the amazing plan of God to make Jesus the Captain of all man's salvation. At this they break out into a new song! This goes on and on and they sing what they see!! What they are singing and declaring is what God is doing, they sing out their awe. Their new song was a result of fresh revelation of God.

 

The root of all si...

It waits for someone like Him

Posted by Lusanda Mashua on Thursday, June 2, 2011 In : Worshiping ever 

 "The earth is waiting or the sons of God to take up their former dominion over the earth and it's production. The restoration of the new song may be a piece of what impacts the restoration of the earth

 -Dan McCollam "
Redeeming a sound"

 

There is a divine connection that God created between the earth and man. Man was created in God's image, to be God's representative on earth. Man was meant to have dominion and enjoy a kingdom like Go ruled an reigned in heaven.  God intended to extend the p...

Releasing her beauty in our songs

Posted by Lusanda Mashua on Thursday, May 26, 2011 In : Worshiping ever 

 

Romans 8:19-22

19  For the creation waits with eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed.

20  For the creation was subjected to vanity, not of its own will, but because of him who subjected it, in hope  21  that the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of decay into the liberty of the glory of the children of God. 22  For we know that the whole creation groans and travails in pain together until now.

 

When I see the dusty phantasmal pink hue over the ...
