The Fruit Cake
I hope this will change someone's life, to be of greater
service to the body of Christ, the author and finisher of
our faith.
Last Christmas I was trying to bake a fruit cake. Our Oven
was not working so I borrowed my aunts micro wave oven. My
cousin briefly explained how that particular one worked. I
had bought lots of ingredients that would make a few rich
Christmas cake.
The first night I tried making it, it only cooked on the top
the, it was a waste, so I decided to make another one, it
turned out like rubber (I am quite good at baking, I started
when I was five). Then I decided to try the next day, I
managed to bake it but it came out less than excellent. I
decided to call my aunt and ask her what was wrong with her
oven, it turned out, that I wasn't following the right
instructions and as a result I had wasted a lot of
ingredients that cost a lot of money.
Lesson!!!!
I learnt a very good lesson from this incident. I thought of
my life and how sometimes I tend to ignore the book of
instructions (the Bible) and do things my own way. Isn't it
amazing that we tend not to live our lives to the fullest
(like the dough we only rise partially or are half baked)
because we don't take Gods instructions for our lives
seriously. Even after doing the rights things ( using the
right ingredients) we tend to miss it because we don't
meditate on our instructions.
I would like to encourage you today, to make the bible the
book of instructions for your life, and see how fruitful you
will became!!!
In Christ 's love
