This world is upside down

This world is upside down

Men women boys and girls seems confused

Our governments mislead due to the pursue of political power

Our mass media no longer cares about good new as long as they sell papers. The caption for news today takes every little crap and make headline. The rise of sexual molestation by guardians and those that should protect our children is out of whack. Children are afraid of so call moms and dads who finds pleasure in destroying their innocence.
Improper sexual behaviour longer takes place behind close door it smeared all over televisions. We can see molestation signs on our buses and ad caption, on television, in movies and they are being carried out by even young teens. My God the cry is out when are we going to take back our children and give them the guidance needed to prepare them for tomorrow as citizens with character and dignity to survive modern times.

Gods Covenant

Walking through a world of sin. 
Many years before the sacrificial moment.
The Almighty God had spoken to a man by Abraham. 
These words were spoken in Genesis 15: 4-6.
Such words were given to Abram as a covenant.  4“Then behold, the word of the LORD came to him, saying, "This man will not be your heir; but one who will come forth from your own body, he shall be your heir." V5 And He took him outside and said, "Now look toward the heavens, and count the stars, if you are able to count them." And He said to him, "So shall your descendants be."
V6 Then, he believed in the LORD; and He reckoned it to him as righteousness.” If we stop long enough to search the bible we will discover that it has answer for everything that we do in this life, be it negative or positive. So now let us take a walk into the life of an  ancient man.  God has given him a son in old age and fulfil his promise to Abraham as father of many nations after (100) years. The word Isaac means laughter. I heard on a radio show March 9^th 2015 where people were seeking answers with regards to where and the reason of laughter. These people have gone to extreme length to fine out the benefits and the causes of laughter. On the 10^th of march I enter into my devotional space. In this space I open my bible to Genesis 21:3 Reading through the pages I found out that through partial revelation the answer to the reason for laughter explained in the proclamation of Gen. 15. 4-6 Read it for yourself. and you will  part of the reason for laughter.

The name of Jesus is the authority of Jesus. Without the    of  Jesus

Laughter according the great book is an emotion expressive of joy, merry, or ridicule

Psalm 59:8

Job 8:21 because of hardship follower by overcoming

International Standard Version
Even in laughter there may be heartache, and at the end of joy there may be grief.

Ecclesiastes 2:2
"Laughter," I said, "is madness. And what does pleasure accomplish?"

James 4:9 New Living Translation
Let there be tears for what you have done. Let there be sorrow and deep grief. Let there be sadness instead of laughter, and gloom instead of joy.

2 Chronicles 30:10 New Living Translation
The runners went from town to town throughout Ephraim and Manasseh and as far as the territory of Zebulon. But most of the people just laughed at the runners and made fun of them.

Laughter the cause of man’s folly  

Psalm 2:4 King James Bible
He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.

Genesis 18:12  12 Sarah laughed to herself, saying, “After I have become old, shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?” 13And the LORD said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh, saying, ‘Shall I indeed bear a child, when I am so old?’ 14“Is anything too difficult for the LORD? At the appointed time I will return to you, at this time next year, and Sarah will have a son.” 15 Sarah denied it however, saying, “I did not laugh”; for she was afraid. And He said, “No, but you did laugh.”

Matthew 9:24 King James Bible
He said unto them, Give place: for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth.  And they laughed him to scorn.
Gods covenant was one of blessings unto Abraham. Many times when god speaks to us we do not take him serious and some people laugh at what he said and there ends are fruitless.

The Storm

The storm

Ride out the storm

See the waters raging

And the billows soaring high

The clouds very dark and the night restless

Just you know Jesus is with you, you are not alone

Yes look to Jesus his eye is no the storm

Set your gaze directly ahead holding on to his hands

I know the forces of hell is up against you but just remember

In the midst of the storm the Lord will protect you

In your conflicts and sorrows just ride out your storm

The sunset

The sunset

Beautiful sunset, beaming across the eastern skies

Rest thy glow upon my deck

Enhancing my garden with your beauty

From the distribution of those lustrous golden hews

Brilliant sunset shimmering down on ocean beds

Creeping over the horizons, the lingering meadows await thy bliss

Weightless sunset glows floating slowly across the skies

Filling it with your magnificent glow

Oh beautiful sunset lending splendor to earth

While resting peacefully upon the brows of mankind

Beautiful sunset your golden shades beneath the heavens
Leaves lasting memories within my vision

Negative Impact

Walking away from negative impact of alcoholism and abuse was probably the most beneficial moment of my career and function in life. Sometimes we asked the question what sort of stigma is attached to alcoholics and why do we avoid these people so much. Many of us try not to think about it or pretend it does not matter because it does not directly relate to us. Some of the stigma avoidance of observing unaccepted behavior, the bad breath, the nasty language abuse of family and friends and the list goes on. Yes some of us see the damage resulting to family lives and living but somehow keeps as a people we remain silent. Why I cannot understand. So it is not discussed publicly. Staff, bosses, medical discipline and most of the world in general just sit back and watched as countless millions are being destroyed daily. Spouse’s children and family often asked when it stop or better yet what can us all will do to help deal with this disease. The abuse of alcohol and other forms of spirit:

·      Result in tardiness and absenteeism in the workplace

·      Family destroyed and brokenness the end result of lives.

·      It also result in reduction of performance and productivity in the work-place

·      Not to mention the over-bearing cost on the health-care   system on working people tax $$$ and the government.

·      Illness, injuries death, accidents and high cost insurance.

·      Compensation cost and disability years are becoming more and more expensive.

Looking at this condition from a medical view point this disease can be found across all borders of life and living it has no boundaries. The sad part about it the clergy, counsellor, family, psychiatrist, doctors and the general public does find it difficult to deal with and talk about the stigma that goes with alcoholism. As a society we need to find a way to reveal and deal with this stigma associated with substance abuse at home and in the workplace. I believe this will result in the reality that people come to realize that others care and are willing to stand with them to work through this illness as they would another illness. Just think about it, many of these millions are mothers, fathers, brothers , sister, family members and people of our society.  This negative behavior is also affecting us in society conscious or unconsciously. Today we implore each other to help them by allowing ourselves to understand the dangers and effect of alcoholic abuse. It is a long haul but the power of the mind and determination of freeing one’s body from alcohol lies in the ability of these people recognizing that there many stages to recovery which begins with the first step acknowledging. Leadership ability directly impacts how we commensurate positive output on both the quality and quantity of our work production therefore full functionality are necessary to help remove the stigma from addicts.  When people are impaired it affects their ability to do a superb job. Unique observers disciplines are able to see the damage alcoholism caused and work through the whole process with them. This will resonate with us having greater confidence and respect towards ourselves and victims of alcohol who acknowledge their dependency on the substance. Walking away from the past during and after recovery is a great way to overcome the negative impact.

The Force of Nature

The Force of Nature

Looking back the evening was lustrous.I can recall the long blue dress with the crinoline that I was wearing. The skirt was like an umbrella turned up with all its spokes open in full gear. I was so proud wearing something made specially for me. Everything about the dress was right and in place. Then suddenly things changed, when a gust of wind tore against the hillside. It came speeding down like a steam locomotive engine rushing by on the neighbourhood landscape. With wind gushing by at uncontrollable speed tearing trees and branches apart.There with my feet eager to get out of the way, my dress got caught in a branch and was ripped quite badly. Mother notice before I did and so she pulled me closer in stride beside her allowing the rip to go unnoticed. Right there and then other mothers and fathers turned with looks of awe upon their faces. Such swift movement left the horse, pigs, chicken and everything nearby wondering what happened. To my amazement nature was out of control. The saw mill one of the source of lively income, at the bottom of the hill nearly broke free with fear from the jolt. Even now I can remembered my mother reaching down grabbing my arms and pulling me closer to her for safety. Other voices were swearing and screaming what is this all about. Fierce men, with fist raised toward heaven swearing after the long-departed rush of wind. I heard my cousin declaring, "I won't forget that!" then down came the downpour. I heard an elderly woman say God is angry with the people for their ignorance. Why? People no longer believe or listen to his voice, everyone chose to do what they think is best. Walking after the desires of the heart and have forgotten the old path. She continue to say people need to know the Lord. We are living in serious times when we should be drawing closer to God instead we have become rebellious angry and spoil. Oh what a time and age we are living in. Young men and women no more respect their parent and what they have done and still doing for them. These people are like the generation of vipers that the great book talks about. The rain drops were so boisterous they appear as if you could hold them in the palms of one’s hand. But they did not remain long enough for you to catch them. Looking back as a child I did love the rain.  As each  drop came rumbling down from the sky I would reached out as if playing with it and never able to get enough. While mom on the other hand held me closer and closer, my desire was to free myself from her sweet embrace and dart out into the rain but that I know she would not permit for mom was afraid of the rain. That much I came understand later. The rain ceased but is was now too late to go to the children’s performance in town and that got me very sad.  It was that time of the year when the little children looked forward with great joy to go to the fair. Sad to say I had to remove my beautiful dress had something to eat and return to the activities of the day. To my amazing surprise reaching down to take my dress off, I notice there was a rip in my 
dress. There I burst out in tears dashed to the room where mama was. Mama oh mama look at my dress.With tears flowing down my cheeks mama took me in her arms assuring me that it was alright, she could fixed it. After much hugging and petting mama said now child go clean up my room and get your homework done. By this I guess you know what happen all the fun was over the rain washed out the party.Yes that was not much fun but mama would often time say child it is for your own good run along now and play and while you are at it just remember the force of nature is not something to play with

Come To The Light my Child

Looking back you divided the darkness and called the light day

And the darkness and the light

Is of equal worth in your sight?

Standing here on the other hand seeing the darkness

I cannot comprehend it at all

Yes Lord this sinner lost in the dark without you

Condemn dying, was I dying in a sinful state

Oh Lord lost without you is I

Lost in the wilderness of despair where sin

Held me bound for so many years

Wandering farther and farther away from your grace

Without seeing the barrenness in a no man’s land

Oh Lord life was hopeless before you came along

Dear Lord please does not leave me alone

And while you are looking down on earth

From Your heavenly throne upon sinful man,

Have mercy upon me also

Broken and lost without your direction

Unable to find my way dear Lord help me

To understand your love for me

Just simple show me the way knowing now that

For me you have stepped out into my darkness

Becoming the light of my life

Reaching out, carrying me into the light

Through your grace and mercy

Yes, you reached down and rescue me

Oh Lord I did not understand before

The words of the songwriter who said

“Oh what love my Jesus showed”?

Oh God I am so thankful for the day that your

Son has found me along the wayside

This heart of mine is overflowing with gladness

Knowing that I can now relate to the words

Written in the great book where Christ speaks through

The pages to the needs of lost humanity saying

He knew us before the foundations of the earth

Oh what love revealed in his foretold destiny?

See He was there during the creation of the earth

Making me a part of His life through death

The very moment He stepped out into the void

Saw the emptiness and marked my nakedness,

You see He gave to me life before He came

Onto this earthly scene thousands of years ago

God in love and mercy through the blood

Sending me Christ His only begotten son

And now I can relate with the songwriter

Who penned these words?

“Mercy rewrote my life

Remembering I am your heavenly Father

Directing you along the way is my job

I understand all your earthly needs

Clothed you in your right mind

Arraying you in earthly splendor

Placing your feet in paths of righteousness

Look to me this moment my child and live

Son of man turn not to the right or to the left

Without my guidance you will be lost

I your heavenly Father will flourish you

Yes in the land of the wicked

My son behold the desires of my heart

Unto you is for good not evil
My child come to the light

Happy Father’s Day June 16, 2007

Through the storm

God speaking through the storm

Hear the wind howling

See the lightening flashing

Nature is taken its course

And man no longer has recourse

God is calling to us out of the rainstorm.

Yes calling out to lost humanity to reform

Can you not hear his gentle voice speaking?

Pleading to the human side of their aching

Come my children lets us subdue the calamity

Bad men are reeling out of control

And even the storm has gone viral.

God has being calling out to good men over the years to be vigil

Yet his call goes unanswered while humanity choose not to obey

 See him sending the wind from the four corners of the earth.

Coming in forceful like a woman in traction

Only to discover she is having stillbirth

Oh yes we have no time to hear his voice,

Thus we are caught in the raging storms destruction

Yes the raging storm, taking countless number of lives captive

Can you not stop for a moment to hear him speak?

Hoping he will take a turn, in holding back the destruction

Of the footmen coming against the raging storm, let your hem be set by the anchor

My beloved

My beloved speak to me of love through the pages of the great book

Indulge me in your presence while waiting upon your direction

Standing this day in the aroma of each other, tells me of your goodness.
Your love speak of deep wisdom itched within our heart.

My beloved Pearl your love reminds us of the words of the Great one.

He who admonishes us to love one another, bestow his strength on us.

Think about Solomon in his love gems who spoke about Christ as the sweet Rose of Sharon

My friends in this new relationship just imitate the love of the greatest lover.

This love of yours can bring into harmony the true spirit of divine guidance.

My beloved this day I promise I will not shed a tear

Because those tears drops inside have become bubbles joys

The tears for your love have already being shed.

All my sleepless nights are in the past

From this moment onward rest I on your wings of love

Sweetheart you have already crossed my heart and our paths now entwined

In humble submission I lay my head upon your breast in sweet sublime

Where authority and submission fold their wings in compliance with love

Committing one to another caress me in the power of your tender love

Now with the fathers love bestowed upon us his children what an awesome moment

Bringing us to the realizing that he loves us more than we will ever be able to understand,

the deep depth and full meaning of St. John 3:16

For God so love the world that he gave his only begotten son

so that when we believe in him we 2 shall become one

When 2 becomes one the love never changes.

Daily taking each other by the hand loving and caring one for another.

Walking along life’s pathway engaging in his presence

Faithfully knowing every step of the way that His truth sets foundation standard

Facing each day’s conflicts, having the Lord of Host on your side

The battles of the mind are already won.

Beloved standing still upon his words, indulging in the truth builds strong defense

Moving forward in bonds of unity over-coming all that rises up against you

One true love carries no grudge but inspires confidence.

Living by integrity rising above the oddest of this life

Stepping out in genuine love the fighting will always be victorious

Selfishness is an element not worth holding unto.

Temperance is such an awesome attribute to hold on to.

Yes even in the midst of the storms it will endure to the end

My love watches patience coming alongside gracefully holding your hands.

Good communication keys will always open doors to a more fulfilled relationship.

Trust my friends lead you into and out of battles that you could not overcome on your own.

Meekness allows you to look beyond each other’s fault and see genuine love.

Grace is that daily up-take that stews the way for abundance.

Endurance is making room for the overflow of blessing

My beloved this day I pledge my love to you.

Julyb8/2012

Accept my gift

Dear Lord accept my gift not a might

Will I withhold?

I know it’s not much please doesn’t turn it away

Realising now how much pain you bore for me.

Yes you became submissive to inhumane hurts

Then tread a road no one else could.

To allow me this moment to share in your hope

And joy with you as your father’s glory appears

Watching envious desires leaping out from the serpent.

In his mouth the anger amid the on-quenching fire is un-controllable

Standing in the middle of the enemy’s camp how can I escape.

Oh Lord grant unto me understanding kneeling before thy throne.

Approaching the mercy seat of grace, accept my gift I pray

Rid me this day of empty praises dear Lord, allowing total worship
To be brought-forth like purest gold.

Giver and Master of this universe standing boldly in your presence
Sustain of life keep me forever and allow me to exalt your name

Coming in daily to worship at your footstool

Giving praises and adoration unto you my only King

Dedication solely I asked of unto your work for service

December 29/98

The dark Lagoon

The dark Lagoon

I heard the father’s voice calling me

My child come home from the dark lagoon

In my light the gloom will depart.
Rescuing you from doom.
I saw the walls of darkness zooming in

There he took my arms leading me out of despair

From there on rivers of living waters sprang up

Flowing swiftly through my veins.

Eternal bliss now I hear ringing through the celestial vale

To you my friend I recommend a seat at the master’s feet

Because the fountain which flows for me has endless resource

What he has done for me since the dark-lagoon is more than marvelous

My Fathers Love Letter

Son from the foundations of the earth

I your Father have fashioned you.
Now I will guide you along in this world

Bringing you forth from your mothers

Womb travelling along life’s pathway.
Living in a world corrupted with sin.
Before you knew yourself, I have counted each strands of your hair.

Yes I know, I love and will lead and guide you
Often times seeing you walking along life’s pathway

So weary and worn from the burden upon your head.
Yes the heavy burdens that keeps you from going forward

This very day son I took it off and laid it all

At the feet of my dear son.

Allow Him to now guide you along each journey.

Here I am every morning extending my hand of mercy

As a loving Father calling your name,caring for and

Providing all your needs.

Let not your heart be troubled my child
you are beautifully and wonderfully made.
Through the shedding blood of Jesus Christ you now have a new life.

My grace is poured out upon you replacing the burden with joy

Son  I adorn you as my vessel of honour, now live as a prince

As earthly fathers nurture their children

I too will lead, guide and instruct you in the truth

I have given the Holy Spirit to encourage,

And my words to bless your path
Gracious Father, I thank you  

Oh Lord I thank you

For all you have done for me

I know I do not understand it all
For this mind is incapable of comprehending all you have done

Living within the magnitude of your works, oh such love.

Father this universe is far beyond my comprehension

Oh Lord you step out into my darkness
Beyond ordinary boundaries, oh Lord you are awesomeness

This day I thank you for being my father.
Speaking the word giving me life and light
So I can enjoy your blessings.

After the darkness

After the darkness

After the darkness I peered through the peep hole

The pain was subsiding and I try to get away but the dark was too much

So I settled down quietly in the thought of the night.

There under my breath I long for my mother’s embrace

Reaching out as if she was there I felt the wind coming through

The crack in the window sill. Deep inside I long for freedom

After the darkness there seems to be nothing and nothing is what I cannot

Be content with. So I went in search to find what comes after the darkness.

In deep fear and desperation the spirit within cried out. There for the first time a light came peeping through my soul. Rising from the ground I looked out the cracked window sill and saw a new dimension. Now I have come to understand that after the darkness comes the light. Yes Jesus Christ is the way the truth and the light

Yes that was not much fun but mama would often time say child it is for your own good run along now and play and while you are at it just remember the force of nature is not something to play with.

Freedom

The blood of Jesus Christ gave me freedom to live

The love of Jesus gave me the ability to love

Freedom I have obtain through Jesus Christ saving grace Freedom is what I gain in relationship with Christ

Freedom has set me free from the bondage of sin

Freedom has shown me the pathway into the world of light

Freedom thought me the difference between good & evil

Freedom has taken me into territories where no mortal have gone and return. And, there teaches me how to forgive in a world of darkness, principality and wickedness in high place. Freedom is in the blood of Jesus Christ for us.

Freedom is what I have in finding Jesus Christ as my mentor. Freedom gives me hope and life to live in a world filled with despair. Freedom is the love of God imparted unto me for my  sin.

Disappointments

Dear Jesus the things that I once considered disappointments in my life I now give you thanks for them.  The failures that I am face with daily I give you thanks for. Oh Lord I have now come to realised that nothing that took place in my life has caught you off guard or by surprise. Father there are many days when I stepped out without your assurance, yet you kept your hands on me. Father God this very moment my heart desire to stop by to let you know how thankful I am for your love. I know I was despised by those who saw me as a failure, yet your amazing grace gives me assurance.  You are the one who care for the least of your children and I am one of them. Oh Lord my limited ability causes me to doubt at times but just this once let my faith soar to the max so I can dwell in your presence and see and feel your glory and praise your name.

Purpose Driven Life

Purpose Driven Life

We all were created for a purpose and each individual that are living here on earth this very moment is meant to have a purpose to life. Were we all meant to be here? Yes! But many of us have lost the vision. We have become hopeless and unable to see the true purpose of and to life. Many of us are being possible led by individuals who had no vision. The great instructional book tells us clearly that the blind cannot lead the blind because the outcome becomes disastrous. A purpose driven life is one with accomplishment led by a spirit filled life. For one to have a purpose driven we must allow the character traits of Christ to display in our daily lives. As individuals we must have the ability to see the positive outcome in our lives through faith before it even happens. A purpose driven life embodies individual who is able to plan according to the will of God so that his purpose become the way of life through us.  A purpose driven life is one full of meaning. When we looked at the life of Christ for the 32 years that he live among humanity in the flesh one can see a life once filled with purpose and accomplishment. The life and traits in the life of Christ is the most effective and unique way in which to live a purpose driven life.
