Praise & Worship

Praise & Worship

Father here we are standing this day in your house,

lifting up holy hands in the sanctuary. Oh Lord let us feel your presence. While your glory continue to fill this place. Standing at your altar, kill from within every ounce of pride that would stand as a blockage this day in disrupting praises unto you.  Oh Lord allows not the spirit to turn to the right or the left. Let our mind be stayed on you while basking in this your glory.  Let our spirit desires to dwell in this moment of worship.  Oh such blessed hope hearing the angles joining in with the choir singing songs of praises unto you. Father in heaven this glorious moment of worship belongs to you this morning. Oh Lord as we lift our hands and heart in worship we gives it all, knowing that we your children are created to worship you and you alone.

Come and worship

Come to worship my children, bow down before him. 

Bring in your sacrifices of praises bowing humble before his presence. Children take the time to understand standing in God presence is marvellous. You are my children, my choice diadems. Praise unto the father is the purpose for which the father created you all. Humble bow in reverence to the one in whose image you are created in. Praise and Honor is his and his alone.  Lift your heart before him, raise your hands to the heavens above and lift your voice in songs. Tune your spirit with the music of heaven and bow done and worship at his feet. Yes come and worship come and worship until heaven come down to earth for he deserves our praise.

Worship

Oh God in your presence my soul doth magnify you

Oh God as your glory comes in I can smell your sweet aroma

Heavenly Father basking in your essence is exactly where I love to be. Father as you bathe us in your sweet oils  the aroma fills the place. My spirit is overwhelm and my hearts desires is only to worship you. Holy Spirit here am I standing in God’s presence lifting holy hands in adoring to the father’s name. Continue  pouring out your sweet aroma till the overflowing captivate our inner soul. Now falling gentle at your feet in worship to you alone. Amen

Who I am?

Who I am?

The mirror of God, created in his own image.

I am the righteousness of God through Christ.

I am perfected before God through the blood of His son.

The cross has accomplished everything in perfection towards my unworthiness making me worthy in Christ.  Christ has done more for me in helping me in pleasing God far more than I could ever imagine, think up or do in this life.  I am the perfected image of God in Christ through death. Christ must be exalted in my life for he had lifted me up before the father. His death on the cross brings me into the Holy presence of His Majesty. Oh God I honour your grace towards me.  There is no imperfection with Christ and so I am his choice of living. Oh Jesus because of what you has done for me through the cross you deserve my life. Your blood draining from the cross gave me access to your father’s presence. Hope for living and a life of eternal peace to look forward to.

Passing this way

I am just a pilgrim passing this way

Looking at my tattered garment and wondering why? My destination is not of this world. Need I tell you, of the many fiery trials from day to day that faces me?

My mountains are high and the valleys very low

Many question my ability for survival in this world

But I must keep moving on to get to higher ground.

There are days when I stumble and fall without feeling like going on, yet fallen I cannot remain down. There is a gate up a head and the price awaits me so I must press towards that mark yonder. The many glitches along the way all is but set-backs to keep me un- informed until the journey end. Faith-full to the end my friend must I be for the crown of life I must wear. Yet this, trials I must endure for I know better days awaits me in the sweet bye and bye.
Just you know for sure we only pass this way but once.

Hopelessness in our society

“One day everyone will know my name”

Life for many has become hopeless

Crimes seems the way of recognition

Many no longer live the hope of adding value to the lives of humanity

Revenge for known and unknown reasons seems to be 
the purpose for living as in the Airbus crash in the Alps

The life of other men or women no longer holds any value to the other person at the wheel or walking down the street

No longer do we know exactly who our neighbours are 
and what they are up to these days.

Mothers are abusing children physically, emotional and sexually

Fathers taking little girls and boys to bed destroying their innocence

Daily we live and destroy lives along the way side with no remorse

We then call or give our behaviours names such as depression

Some calls it hopelessness, and suppression
Others call it mental breakdown

While some sees these behaviour as the walk to the hall of fame

How sad and confused we have become when wrong deeds become right
Then we take time out  to not truly label these crimes for what they are

Our lack of love and ethnic behaviour one for another has 
become destructive to our humanity. 

As And we refuse to accept the only thing that can fix our brokenness society we are all broken one way or another 
So the question today is should we have to resort to violence and crime for our names to become recognizable
Fame and ego has become so strong among our people, they are willing to die and kill others in its pursuit

It is oh so sad to know that we no longer knows ho to truly love one another so we can live in harmony.  Now is the time to love and restore one another

This day

This day oh Lord I am every grateful for your redeeming love.

When I looked into your words and commandments in the book of Leviticus I am so thankful for your son Christ and how he atone for me. Yes your grace that was poured out for me on Calvary’s hill. Father I have come to realised that if he did not die on the cross one like me would not have any access to your grace and mercy. For example just the way in which you instruct the priest and the Levi’s to offer up offerings and sacrifices for sin, offering and atonement, wow that alone blow my mind. The details is too much for me to contain. Oh Lord I asked of you this day help me to be humble so that I will see your face in glory. Father I do thank you for salvation and saving grace. When men cannot see me in my defile ways and you turn your back on me, because sin is black. It just gives me a slight glimpse of how holy you are through words. Now Lord help me this day to live to please you and not the flesh.

Amen 

The days of long ago

The days of long ago

The days of long ago goes back to playing in the school yard. 

Taking strolls alongside the school yard fence.
 Watching the ducks playing in the pond.
Feeling and hearing the whispering of the wind in the trees.
Watching the birds singing from their branches. 
The days of long ago brings back memories of laughter. 
Reminder of simple fun without a cost except time. 
We were all free children playing without fear.
 Physical or sexual abuse was a very rare thing.
 Little boys and tom girls could be seeing swinging from tree Living without fear was a way of the young and innocence. 
Oh such freedom looking back on the days of long ago.
Gentle wind not just blowing in the trees but against the skin
 Rolling landscapes tumbling over rolling grass down the hill.
Days of long ago reminds me of the freedom being children.
Play was play fun was simple and life worth living. 
Rolling in a stock of hay was like rolling down the hillsides. 
Today brings back to memory when once as children we all come together. Having fun in the big old school yard of yesterday
 Growing up enjoy that which belongs to them child-like attitudes. Yes growing up we were like tender trees by the rivers. Days of long ago brings back the simplicity of a community.
 Raring up young men and women with the ability to give back.
 Those were the days when one child hurt everyone would come to the rescue to find out what happen. Someone would wipe the blood away from the scrape, others would say its OK it won’t last. Gone are the days of long ago when children and people once cared. Yes my friends the days of long ago are days that I will not trade for the modern day way of community living.
Days of long ago brought families together.
The schools were learning ground
Together we were all working in making difference
Back then we were a caring family. 
How sad it is today everyone wants individual identity for the wrong reason.  Resulting further and deeper into the fragmentation of the family structure and future disparity.
Oh how broken with the days of long ago here no more.

In Times Of Trouble

In Times Of Trouble

The Psalmist David knew we would have ruff days

Seeing the long nights ahead as the enemy pursues

He knew also many of us would pass through the pit of hell.

He knew what it was like to be pursue d by the enemy 

and also run from the troops and conflicts of war.

The psalmist David knew too well how to trust his God

He knew how and when to make God his refugee

And that very presence help in times of trouble.

Yes friends he is the God of the storm

He is the delivery and sustain-er

When I run to him he does not run from me 

He receives and comfort me in troubled times

He is my presence help and provider in trouble.
God is indeed my hiding place in times of trouble.

Branch of Hope

Branch of Hope

The news was shocking

The prognosis unbelievable

The words going over in my head like a rewind tape

Then the minutes turns to hour and the hours to days

Then the day to weeks and it starts settling in the diagnosis is cancer

Finally weeks after it somehow began to sank in.  What the C word. Now what do I do, how to I break the news to love ones. Seeing I can barely handle it. Well I was going into the panic mood and everything else. Then I got a little tap on the shoulder and a voice spoke saying my child have you forgotten you are mine. I form and fashion you in your mother’s womb and I have a purpose for you. Come sit on my lap while as I speak. Listen child you are in for a long haul and I am not going anywhere. Just know you are not alone, and  I will walk with you in this journey. You will give the glory and I will give you healing and blessing. My child just  keep hoping and believing for in my name their is power. Total and divine healing comes through the blood of Jesus Christ. From and in the herbs is healing but from the living branch comes the prescription for cancer The healing is in the name of Jesus Christ through faith, prayer and belief. Therefore hope in me and live.

Yes just for me you did it all

Christ, yes just for me you did it all

Christ travel the stormy ways of this life because of me

He gave of himself in Pilate’s court hall just for me

With the unbearable pain in the garden he cried out

Lord if it’s possible let this cup pass from me.

Wow nevertheless not my will but your will be done

Yes Lord no more sorrows and pain my Jesus bore it all

My Jesus bore it all for me, yes just for me

Just for me you took the blame as the false witnesses spoke against you

For my shame you stood before the judge and was condemn

There upon Calvary cross with my sins they nailed you.

Yes just for me you did it all.

Oh Lord just for me you did it all.

In the storms

In the storms

When in the storms of life the sails are boisterous

The anchor often times loosen its grips

With the mighty waves come bashing against your ship

Often times life's perils insurmountable

No one seems to understands

Why the waves are bashing against your sail

Putting in the compass lighten the load gives no break at all. 

In all the mass confusion if you listen keenly you will hear his voice. Follow in his instruction going the direction indicated and your ship will come to shore. Once your anchor is secure in the helm of the ship the Captain will not go off course. So my child in the storm keep your eyes on the stern.

God’s searchlight

June 11, 2012

God’s searchlight, a prayer for help.

Dear Lord use your searchlight extensively in my life today. Allowing me to understand that your eyes are forever watching me. Use your search light in my life like as a soldier on the battlefield searching for his enemy within the dark of night. Dear Commander help me to locate every enemy residing in me that is hindering my worship unto you. Father grant me the discerning spirit to identify the things in my life that blocks effective communication between you and I. Grant me the discerning eyes to see the enemy near or far off. Let me not delay any attacks for to delay spells danger and to be attack by the opponent will be fatal. Yes father let me be ever conscious that when your search light beams down from heaven into my heart its concentration is will be perfect. Thus allowing me to shatter and devastate everything else. Father I know you are always watching over me so help me to be mindful of your love for me. Continue to keep me safe on this battlefield in Jesus name. Amen

The Curse/Curse/Curses

Curse/curse/the curse

The word, curse is a noun with the definition of|:   "a solemn utterance intended to invoke a supernatural power to inflict harm or punishment on someone or something and upon other individuals. 

*A curse is that which is consider an evil act or acts spoken over the life of individuals, families and nations.

*The power and danger of hidden curses.

*Hidden cannot be seeing secret things of easily seen things kept from you, things secretly inflict hardship

*A curse is what we do to people resulting in negative results.

Hidden curses in our lives past and present need to be dealt with. And through the blood and under the name of Jesus Christ we need to place these hidden curse under the blood of Jesus Christ so we can be set free. Curse comes in many different ways. Cain’s life was meant for a blessing but because of his ignorance he brought a curse upon his life from God. The ground from which you toil will not yield its produce another  generational curse of the ground yielding its crops.  

Lev.  19:14

When Haman plotted against the Jews Esther earnestly seek God in fasting and prayer on the advice of Mordecai his uncle. Haman's plot was severe and the curse was secretly playing out. Mans plan, nevertheless when Gods children seeks Him earnestly he will protect, deliver and set free those who call upon him and also wait upon him and remove curses.

Jehovah this day I beseech you enter my Esther domain and dethrone my Haman and those that rise up against me. Lord every hidden curse in my life transfer down to me through my fathers and mother generations I declared this day that you will remove them from me and do not allow me to suffer at the expense of my past generations through the blood of Jesus.

With trust in the blood of Jesus Christ the curse or curses of the past can be deter or become ineffective when we follow the plan of God word and repent. Have a look at Genesis 20: 7-8 the story of Abraham & A-bim –e-lech. Abraham was the one who lied but because he was the chosen one to be the father of many nations.  Abimelech desire to take his wife into his bed became a curse. But God being God, shows mercy in every issues of life. Therefore in verse 7 he said if you will harken to the words of my prophet you and all that is thine shall live but if not the curse upon your lineage will fullfil. The curse of the closed wombs of all his house hold was purged and reversed because he acknowledge the sovereignty of God.

The importance of Family?

Who or what is the family

In the eyes of the creator and love for his creation a family or Families are the foundation of society. We need to understand that humanly we have the ability to make choices and often times we make choices which affect the family circle. Many times we here these words if God is so powerful why did he allow this and that to happen. The true reason or blame seldom points to individuals and groups that makes poor choices to satisfy our own desires and greed. As parents we desire and love to know that when we give instruction to our children we are of the expectation that they will carry out the request or fulfill the conditional …………. When children become non-compliant as parents many of us become annoyed frustrated and even angry. Odd as it might seems God the father is in this position all the time. Why because humanly we tend to be more non-compliant than compliant. So the key take-away from our earthly parental styles is that God our heavenly fathers is expecting us to adhere to his instructional manual to make life fulfilling and less complicated in operating. In today’s society as well as in antiquity broken families and relations causes rippling effects. These rippling effect not only impact our own lives, but also the communities and the world in which we lived.  As parents sometimes we inflict our children knowingly and unknowingly. Some scars leaves a lifelong impact. Others can be forgiven or simple turn the eye. In other words depending on the strength and our foundation within the family we can rise or fall to the dust from which we came when leading the family in the wrong direction. When the family is unhealthy we all pay and the longer we ignore the suffering the greater the pain. Many of these pain includes:

·       Fear

·       Alienation

·       Violence, abuse and crime

·       Dysfunctional family relationships

·       Poor productivity in the family and society

·       This brokenness in the family foundation results in rendering us victims of the law, men and women behinds bars and unsafe society in which we live.

Friends we need to know and understand that God did not intends that the fall in the garden would result in a brand new slate. It simple put we need to obey God and our parents and our lives will reflect the grace of God.

Who said life is fair

 Who said life is fair

The human make-up seems very complicated. The mind even more complex.  Each compartment has its own indexing yet together they make up one of the most intricate system.  With all these complexity man has being given a blue print to navigate through  life with. Sometimes we comply other times we rebel. Yet if we stop long enough to assess our deviation we will come to realized that we often times fail when we try to navigate through these system on mans wisdom. This result in burnt-out frustration, anger, stress and the many ma-ladies of our day. So who said life is fair no one but we need to do things in such a way that we get the best of each day and life.

Not speaking the truth

Woe to the false prophets and prophetesses

Rebellion results in the pouring out of gods wrath upon individuals, people and nation

Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! behold, the prophets say unto them, Ye shall not see the sword, neither shall ye have famine; but I will give you assured [2] peace in this place. 14 Then the Lord said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their heart. 15 Therefore thus saith the Lord concerning the prophets that prophesy in my name, and I sent them not, yet they say, Sword and famine shall not be in this land; By sword and famine shall those prophets be consumed.

The Little things

The Little things

The little things matter to him

What little things you may asked.

Wakening up each morning with breath in your nostrils.

Shifting position in bed and realized that you are able to move.

Shaking yourself and found out you are able to get out of the bed, then walked away to the bathroom to start a fresh day. Yes the little things such as giving thanks for all the above mentioned. Then more praise as you journey through the day with his blessings bestowed on you. Yes God cares about the little things that we take for granted, thinking he does not want to know about them. Such as our hurts, pain and concerns of life.

Life

Life

Life here on earth is not perfect.

Some days we are faced with many thorns

Sometimes it is joy on ending. Other times we asked the question why were I born.

The purpose of life seems unfulfilled. Often times we tend to question the great one

But today instead of questions I choose to give thanks for life and oh what a blessing it was

Unconditional Love

Unconditional love

Think of the joy and harmony we would achieve.

The peace and contentment within our souls.

The confidence and character developmental ability

Along with the effect we would have on and in the lives of those with whom we come in contact with when and if we truly allow ourselves to love the way Christ thought his disciple. More so the way in which he loves us.

My devotional Prayer

My devotional Prayer

Morning’s Devotional thoughts

Morning’s Devotional thoughts

Why chose the pathway of Christianity

My God is very intentional with what he does. He knows the heart of man is desperately wicked but he made preparation for those who will have a change heart. This change heart allows men women boys and girl throughout the 4 corners of the earth to come into a relational position with God. Yes my friend there are many, many religion and religious groups in the world who believe in a god sitting on a pedestal, must be move about with the hands of man. Think about it imperfect man creating a god and gods who for function must be handle by humanity. Now this is the truth that religion cannot handle, Jesus Christ the son of God also die because it is expected for humanity to live eternally after sin must be done through only the one resurrected from the dead. Jesus Christ throughout all history is the only one. You see from mans recorded history not one of the founding fathers or women of these religion had, and gave a son for the remission of the sins of the entire human race regardless of nationality and religion. Each man, women and group that had established and founded a form of religion has pass on from life to death and their bones are still sitting in their graves or places of burial.

Acts 4: 11-12 lay it out so clear and simple. ¹¹ Jesus is “the stone you builders rejected,   which has become the cornerstone.’^{[a] 12} Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.” There is no hope in the gods of religion who takes life but has no guaranteed to save live. The God of Christianity teaches us to love all men. It does not teach us to kill under any circumstances much more under the religious umbrella thinking when we do so it will give us a rite of passage into heaven or the place of final rest after death.

Acts 4:5-12New International Version (NIV)

⁵ The next day the rulers, the elders and the teachers of the law met in Jerusalem. ⁶ Annas the high priest was there, and so were Caiaphas, John, Alexander and others of the high priest’s family. ⁷ They had Peter and John brought before them and began to question them: “By what power or what name did you do this?”

⁸ Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them: “Rulers and elders of the people! ⁹ If we are being called to account today for an act of kindness shown to a man who was lame and are being asked how he was healed, ¹⁰ then know this, you and all the people of Israel: It is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead, that this man stands before you healed.  ¹¹ Jesus is “the stone you builders rejected,   which has become the cornerstone.’^{[a] 12} Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.”
