PURSUE.......WHAT.......?

 The Hand, Face And Heart of God

There is an evolution in the way we develop our spiritual walk with God. The classic examples are illustrated from the lives of the people of ancient Israel. God called Abraham and promised him a son. Isaac was blessed with a good wife and plenty of riches. Jacob had plenty of riches too. Israelite's complained for food, and manna came from heaven. They wanted meat and God miraculously provided them with quails.

When they were thirsting, God provided water from the rock. Interestingly, when the miracles were over the Israelite's forgot their God and in fact worshiped a golden calf. People came to Jesus to be healed of their infirmities. The same people, who hailed Jesus as the Son of David, soon denounced him as a blasphemer and condemned him to death. People forgot favors and healings.

Seeking The Hand Of God

People forget miracles. Miracles alone do not change people. If miracles alone could save people, then why is it that only one leper out of the ten lepers was made whole? Remember, ten lepers were physically healed, but only one leper returned to worship God and hence was made whole. Made whole means his body, mind and soul were healed.

We are seeing miracles of healing around us, but does it guarantee eternal life? Miracles are only gifts from the hand of God for those who seek the hand of God. We seek the hand of somebody to receive a gift. We associate the gift-giver with the gift and then forget about him. We will miss the whole message of repentance, death to self, resurrection and eternal life with Jesus if we seek Jesus only for a miracle. They are the people who search the hand of God.

Seeking The Face of God

The next level of our walk with God is in seeking the face of God. The people who seek the face of God seek Jesus for the sake of seeking him and not for temporal gifts. They have a deep relation with Jesus. They will seek Jesus irrespective of their situation. They will give up their jobs, their lands, their investments, their pride and the praises of men for the kingdom of God. They will consecrate their life for God.

Old Testament talks about those who seek the face of God. Moses sought the face of God. He asked God to show his glory. Moses waited for centuries before he saw the face of God on Mount Tabor. God showed his glory to Moses after hiding him behind a rock on Mount Sinai, but did not show his face. Now we see him imperfectly as if from a mirror, but later we will see him face to face in Heaven. Jesus said in his beatitudes that the pure in heart will see God. God calls us to see his face, but many shy away from God. We know why. We have to die to our flesh before we can see his face. It will cost us something before we see the face of God.

Mary Magdalene saw the face of the crucified Jesus and the body of Jesus in the tomb. Disciples who saw the miracles of Jesus fled for their life when Jesus was crucified. Mary Magdalene was searching the face of Jesus and not his hand and therefore she stood at the foot of the cross and outside the sepulcher of Jesus. She is therefore called the apostle to apostles. Genuine people search the face of God. They will see Jesus in the midst of persecution, unemployment, poverty, humiliation and even sickness. They are the people who seek the face of God.

Seeking the Heart of God

The final level is in searching the heart of Jesus. This is the highest level attained by great saints. The hearts of these people are intertwined to the sacred heart of Jesus. Jesus lives in them and they live in Jesus. It is the extreme act of love that intertwines two hearts and makes them one. David with all his failures was still a man after the heart of God. Mary the mother of God is the perfect example of someone seeking the heart of God. Mary conceived Jesus, nourished Jesus and suffered with Jesus. Mary knew the heart of her son. The son knew the heart of his mother. Their love was such that they lived for each other.

ARE U CONTENDED? HAPPINESS OR LOVE.......

ARE YOU CONTENDED?

OR Waiting to Receive Happiness, Wanting to Be Loved….!

People (this includes YOU & ME) aren't happy. Are you seeking COMPLETE HAPPINESS? We find ourselves waiting. Waiting for that something to come along that is going to make us happy. For some, it's seems to be more money, more fame, more social circles, more politics…. With more money one can buy all those things one wants. Most of us see the error in that. We see an appetite that will never be satisfied. We want, instead, that which money will not buy. We want that special something. Sometimes we are waiting for that person that is going to make life worth living, it does not matter the relationship between those two persons. Could be father & daughter, mother & son, husband and wife, friends at the end of it all you want to feel COMFORTABLE….that someone whom you can talk to. The only problem is that, for some reason, that something & someone seems nearly impossible to find. If you do find…then the question lies, how can you get to know….or is it another WINDOW DISPLAY STUFF….

Is it that our standards are too high? Is it that we were born a century too early or too late? Is it that the World has become such a broken mess that no one could possibly find something whole and unbroken in it anymore?

Let’s be truthful with ourselves. We exactly know what we want. We just behave NAÏVE. You want companionship. In an otherwise city of millions, you want not to be lonely. In a life of smiling faces, you want not to be wearing the same as a MASK to keep that miserable feeling of loneliness from public display.

We know deep down that such a thing as the perfect person doesn't exist. Why then do we still WANT it so bad? To cure us of that miserable lonely feeling in our gut. In moments of self-honesty we see that such a dream is fantasy and it makes us wonder what the purpose of living could possibly be. IF WE CAN’T HAVE LOVE, WHY LIVE?

I submit there are two problems that are capital in this dire situation. INNER HAPPINESS & LOVE…..I feel extremely happy in giving, that’s where the inner Happiness’ in me wakes up. But BEWARE, Satan comes to STEAL……yes he does, he wants to take away the little that you have acquired, BUT the question lies are you ready to LET HIM TAKE THAT AWAY FROM YOU?

I would like to walk with you quoting the WORD of GOD that can bring about a CHANGE….!

Psalms 1:1: Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

[2] But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. [3] And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. [4] The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away. [5] Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. [6] For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

Ec:3[12] I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life. [13] And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it is the gift of God.

Psalms:34:8: O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.

The first is to understand the Law of Change. Understand that things change. People change. Mitigating circumstances ALWAYS dictate realities. Many people will uproot their lives to pursue that special relationship with someone they may well have never imagined themselves being with. Love can change people quite profoundly. It can alter their taste in music, movies, social environments, foods, locales, and all sorts of Life's various facets.

Divine Universe - that has given me life, guess has given you the same? The CHURCH is the best place where I find HAPPINESS AS WELL AS LOVE. There lies a song that lifts you up. A song that makes you feel good about yourself. A song that makes you truly happy. A happiness that shines like the Sun. Because it is your RELATIONSHIP with the ALMIGHTY GOD. The ability to look at yourself and say, "Love has changed me and given unto me the ability to say with truth: I like myself."

As a Human, you have the power to give and receive love. That is the one true power of your existence to command with impunity. The most powerful force in the Universe is that of Directed Will and above that there is greater FORCE of Directed Will of Unconditional Love. THAT FORCE IS JESUS. Let the FIRE within you THEN JUST BURN FOR THAT FORCE…….

As so it is with me, so may you well find yourself, back at square one. Alone and searching for one with the proper ears. One that can hear Love's beautiful song. One that wants to join in the chorus. And of course you will again find yourself longing. Wanting to HAVE somebody. Wanting to HAVE love. The BIBLE says…IF YOU HAVE EARS TO HEAR….HEAR WHAT THE SPIRIT IS SAYING TO YOUR HEART…….

So the question emerges, if we can't have that special someone, how can we have one? Or rather, how can we be in existence with that someone? It's hard to start thinking outside of a possession based viewpoint and properly word it. That is why a SPIRITUAL change in our view of the world - it is required for us to take the time to reflect and contemplate on this new paradigm shift. It does not happen just by reading an article or my post. An article can show you the path, but of course it is up to you to take up the task of treading upon it.

APPLY THE WORD INTO YOUR DAILY LIFE:
Are not relationships unlike plants? Have you not to cultivate them? Certainly one can not just expect to get a beautiful and healthy plant just buy throwing any seed in any kind of soil and giving it little care. Sure, that much may seem obvious. But if it's so obvious, then why do people continually take such attitude with relationships? Myself not completely excluded, no doubt.

So in conclusion, NO ONE GETS A FREE RIDE. There is always a PRICE & Task at Hand. Just like you have to do the work to earn a paycheck, so must you do the work in Life's trials and tribulations? The answer to Life's problems is not something that is going to pop up for SALE ON EBay. Therefore, it is to be said, that self-realization will always carry in tow the paramount prerequisite of self-reflection.

V R - HIS WORKMANSHIP...!

IT DOES NOT MATTER......... WHICH WOMB........ YOU HAVE BEEN CONCEIVED IN…..!!!!!!

Dear FOLKS…..WE ARE ALL CHILDREN OF THE ALMIGHTY GOD; WE ARE HIS WORKMANSHIP  LEST ANY MAN SHOULD BOAST. WE ARE HIS CREATION, DESIGNED AND FASHIONED SO BEAUTIFULLY, ONLY TO DO HIS WILL.

The Lord works MIRACLES in our life’s, but we are so extremely BUSY to even STOP and ponder upon them. We just consider it to be another feather in our BIG HAT. I write this post for those mothers’ out there, who have given birth to their loved ones, but unfortunately never had the opportunity to live their lives with them, could be for several reasons. To those mother’s I encourage to continue loving their children and hoping that the day will soon come, when they will see their children, love them, hug them, sing with them, dance with them…..and do all that they ever dreamed of.

To those children who have been abandoned, to those that feel they do not have the love of their parents or to those who feel that they are left out. I just want to tell you little kids that HE the GOD of our UNIVERSE LOVES YOU SO MUCH.

To all of you out there including myself let’s just discover the treasure inside of us.  Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace, and gratitude." [Read Psalm 150]

Peace, joy, health and well-being can only be found inside us. They exist within us now, as our essential nature, waiting for us to call on them. 

No matter what our income, body shape or situation in life, each of us holds the power to take the inner journey to find our treasures within. This is what makes the inner journey so exciting!

"When we cannot find contentment in ourselves, it is useless to seek it elsewhere." 

M't:6:34: Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

Let us therefore enjoy every moment, for by GRACE alone are we saved. If his GRACE given to us was like an OCEAN…I tell you folks we would all be SINKING.

The spiritual principle here is that God gives us manna or grace for each day. And the grace that He gives us for today is not meant to be “kept” or used for tomorrow. He gives you & me grace today for today’s needs. Don’t worry about tomorrow’s needs. When tomorrow comes, rest assured that there will be a fresh supply of His grace!

If you spend precious time and energy today fretting about the needs of tomorrow, next week or next month, you’ll just get into a cycle of agitation, worry and fear. You’ll also miss out on what God’s grace is supplying you today.

Therefore dear mothers, sisters, daughters and all you lovely children and people of GOD, although we walk through the valley of the shadow of troubles, we know he stands beside us with his rod & his staff, he lifts us in his arms and WE ARE SAFE IN HIS ARMS.

So quit worrying about tomorrow, next week, next month or next year. As each day arrives, God gives you the grace anew to do what you need to for the day. Just rest in His faithfulness, focus on this day that He’s given you and enjoy His fresh supply of grace to meet the demands of all your needs TODAY!

PRAYER:

I just want to THANK You Lord for BLESSING ME with CHILDREN, I pray Lord that my children as well as all kids out there, you cover them with the PRECIOUS BLOOD OF JESUS….from the crown of their heads to the very soles of their feet. I pray for complete protection for their lives Lord JESUS. Keep them free from EVIL, SIN and TEMPTATION. Fill them Lord with the Gifts of your Holy Spirit. Give them the gifts of WISDOM, KNOWLEDGE, FAITH, UNDERSTANDING and DISCERNMENT. So that, they will live TODAY in your GLORY……DOING YOUR WILL & WORSHIPING YOU WITH THE SOUND OF INSTRUMENTS & GUITARS.

We LOVE YOU LORD, WE LOVE YOU JESUS……..!

HOW GOOD IS YOUR HEART?

HOW GOOD IS YOUR HEART?

My friend recently poised this question to me knowing that I have my heart issue to be fixed. She said how good is your heart? Well knowing myself, I inwardly smiled as my mind was constructing the right response. I spontaneously said, Well you know what my heart is Still Beating to the rhythm of God. I want to Thank Him because I am still alive. That is the Biggest Miracle. Sometimes when it really hurts and makes me breathless I want to pluck it out of my system, place it on a platter, see what’s wrong and fix it. But to cut the long story short I actually ended saying to her – Probably it needs hovering, dust has settled, all in all I am getting OLDER. 

Masking the ORIGINAL symptom usually causes others to believe that the person has made a change, but soon enough, that symptom re-surfaces or a new symptom appears, which, is only a result of the same problem as the original symptom.

LORD, LISTEN TO OUR HEART (YOU HAVE THE WORSHIP SONG LISTED BELOW...IT'S BEAUTIFUL - OUR WORDS ARE NOT ENOUGH)

Let’s look at it spiritually:

One of the things that identify very quickly a person’s poor spiritual condition is something that is rarely seen with our own eyes.  A person may for years be able to hide what is really going on in their life.  You may only get a glimpse of the condition only rarely when they momentarily lose the ability to hide their real problem. 

Too often, people go through their Christian walk fooling themselves into believing that nothing is wrong with their Heart.  They become well trained at controlling their actions well, but their heart on the other hand is something that struggles constantly. So often in the church, we wrestle with people’s bad spirits, ill tempers, and pride.  We assume that these symptoms are themselves the problem that the person is having.  We say, “You need to get ahold of that temper of yours.”   What we fail to realize, is the temper is only a symptom of a much bigger and more dangerous problem.

Learn to Listen to your Heart:

What kinds of messages do you give yourself?

Is there something about your life you’d like to change?

If you felt good, what would you attract?

 Our inner self-talk is very powerful.  The thoughts we entertain and the emotions that result create our experience of life.  If we give ourselves messages based in fear or worry, we feel anxious.  If we use messages based in love and trust, we feel at ease.  We feel good.  When we feel good, we show up for life from a different vantage point, creating the life we desire. Isn’t this Awesome. We kind of have our own mechanism.

Love God with all your heart:

Jesus said to him, “‘you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.” 
(Matthew 22:37 – 40)

Loving God with your whole heart is the key to everything in life; because your relationship with God affects everything and everyone in your life. It is impossible to love God too much; however it is easy to fall short of loving Him with your whole heart. In a moment of honesty with myself and the Lord I asked “Lord, how can I love you more”?
Instantly the Lord responded “BE THANKFUL”. In one moment, with those two words, came several scriptures to my mind and concepts that I had not thought of before. I also understood for the first time that anything, whether past or present, that we are unthankful about is a part of our heart that does not love God. In that same moment I also understood why this is true. Deep down inside our spirit we know that God is in control of the universe. If we have had painful experiences which we are not thankful for then we are unhappy and unthankful to God for them, consciously or unconsciously.

You may not even know that you are blaming God; you may think that you are blaming Satan or you may be blaming other people. However, in reality you are blaming God also because you know that He is in control. God allowed the experience to happen to you. God could have prevented it and you know it. Each painful experience which you are unthankful for is a dark spot in your heart that does not love God. 

 We are commanded to love God with our whole heart. That is because it is possible to love God with only a part of your heart. Only when you are thankful to God with your whole heart do you really love Him with your whole heart. That means you must be thankful for everything in your life, past and present. Thankfulness is a gauge that measures your heart condition; it reveals anything which is blocking your love for God. Thankfulness to God is an indication of a heart that has right standing before God. Out of a thankful heart flow expressions of love to God, including praise, worship, and obedience. This is a good question to ask yourself, “is there anything that I am not thankful to God for”?

Now Ask Yourself this Question  - How Good Is My Heart?

"DARE TO BE A FOLLOWER - SEE THE COST FACTOR"

DARE TO BE A FOLLOWER, A DISCIPLE...

 YOU NEED TO SEE THE COST FACTOR

HOW MANY OF U R READY TO COUNT THE COST?

Dear Brother's & Sister's in the Lord.........You need to weigh in on the cost factor, and count the cost of being a disciple of JESUS CHRIST.A true Follower. It will cost you popularity, it will cost you your promotion or perhaps it will cost you your family…your loved ones who fail to understand, it will cost you  an easy life , it will cost you your luxury, your music, your habits, you will have to discipline yourself, you will have to say NO TO TEMPTATION, you will have to say no to this world, you will have to break with the crowd,  you will have to be willing TO WALK TO THE BEAT OF A DIFFERENT DRUMMER. You will be willing to stand even if you’re the ONLY ONE for CHRIST. AT the END of all this EPISODE are YOU & ME willing to go on this RIDE?

You will have to bear TRIALS & TRIBULATIONS…(that is Satan’s game plan)…it will not even  COST YOU YOUR LIFE….He OUR LORD JESUS is NOT COMING BACK for FUN or PLAY GAMES.

HE is coming to DOMINATE……….

HE is COMING to SLAUGHTER......

HE IS THE KING OF KINGS AND THE LORD OF LORDS…..and at the end of all this HE IS COMING ON A WHITE HORSE……and HIS GARMENTS ARE DRIPPED IN BLOOD……MAKE WAY MAKE WAY FOR THE KING. MAKE WAY FOR THE KING. HE IS COMING BACK TO CONQUER.

You do not want to go to the FINAL DAY of CONFLICT with JESUS CHRIST.  HE offered you MERCY, HE offered terms of PEACE,  we just need to ACCEPT IT. YOU & I JUST NEED TO TAKE UP OUR CROSS AND FOLLOW JESUS.

He is pressing us for a DECISION, we cannot hit the MUTE BUTTON in our HEART, we NEED TO ANSWER HIM FOLKS. Listen to his voice my BELOVED PEOPLE. YOU NEED TO GIVE UP EVERYTHING IF YOU WANT TO FOLLOW JESUS.

How many of US are on this ROAD….It is kind of difficult for us, we give up some things BUT we keep EVERYTHING so CLOSE to our HEARTS…….LUKE 14:33 So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.

CONCLUSION

He says none of US can be a TRUE CHRISTIAN, none of US can be in a TRUE Relationship with GOD the Father and JESUS, and None of Us can BE a TRUE Disciple – WHO DOES NOT GIVE UP ALL HIS OWN POSSESSION. He is increasing the commitment that he is calling for, with every line. He is not saying that you have to buy you’re way to THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN, for none of us have ENOUGH of GOLD or SILVER, infact the TRUTH is EVERYTHING we HAVE belongs TO HIM.

To summarize – YOU must TRANSFER all that you HAVE – to all that HE IS. Your life is no longer your life because now it is his life, your possessions are no longer your possessions they are now His POSSESSIONS. Your future is no longer your Future but it is His Future, your Treasure is no longer your treasure but it is NOW HIS Treasure. You have transferred all that you have to all that IS HIS.

That’s what it is to submit to his terms of peace. Yet the EXCHANGE IS NOT BATTERED OR BOUGHT WITH REAL MONEY, BUT IT IS PURCHASED WITH THE TOTAL COMPLETE SURRENDER OF YOUR LIFE TO CHRIST.

It is coming to the END of yourself COMPLETELY & ENTIRELY, TRUSTING ALL THAT YOU ARE AND ALL THAT YOU HAVE TO ALL THAT HE HIS

SO HE SAYS SALT IS GOOD…….BUT WHAT IS THE USE IF………[Read]

Lu:14:34: Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned?

Lu:14:35: It is neither fit for the land, nor yet for the dunghill; but men cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

(I heard Banning preaching, he said his friend was extremely happy to get a Rolex Watch from the imitation shop for 5$, a ROLEX watch my friends….after few days the diamonds from the watch started falling off, the strap wore out – ALL because it DID NOT COST HIM ANYTHING.

Having said all that, I ask you Body of Christ how then will you value something that does not cost anything? To be a FOLLOWER of CHRIST it will cost you a hell of a lot. The question is are you ready to sign off the pay cheque.)

BE BLESSED ALL YOU BELOVED PEOPLE, HAVE A GREAT DAY IN THE LORD………! LET US BE FOLLOWERS OF JESUS CHRIST

"MAKE WAY FOR THE SHEPHERD"

MAKE WAY…MAKE WAY FOR THE SHEPHERD!

MAKE WAY….MAKE WAY FOR THE MAN OF FAITH!

 (I dedicate this post for OUR DEAR  LOVING PASTOR, who is going to be back in our midst SOOOOON! A Man of FAITH. A Man of Substance. His works cannot be described or defined. He just gets out of his way to see that you and me our BLESSED. Not just BLESSED but BLESSED ABUNDANTLY.  Our Shepherd is going to be back. I request the Body of Christ to MAKE WAY…As I was meditating this morning, the below scripture that I have quoted Isa:55 [8-9] took me away to the depths of reality, as the Lord’s presence felt thick, it all flashed back. The Lord helped me compare two different situations. The Worship song MAKE WAY FOR THE KING was ringing into my ears).

Dear Body of Christ,

Hope you agree with me that we NEED TO MAKE WAY….MAKE WAY…HIS coming to the PULPIT, with a LIGHTING…a THUNDER….a speed that you and I, are going to be astounded, amazed, flabbergasted. The Radiation that will emit, will drop you & me with the HOLY FIRE and its flames will rest on our hearts. 

HE is coming back with 300 fold ANOINTING my folks. The SHEPHERD is coming back with INSTANT HEALING. HE IS COMING BACK WITH A SURPRISE PACKAGE.!

GOD”S PLANS are HIGHER (I am not saying this, it’s the WORD of GOD)

Isa:55 [8] For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. [9] For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

TO EVERYTHING THERE IS A TIME – SO SAY’S THE WORD

Ec:3:1: To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

The Lord had put this situation so suddenly into Pastor Vincent’s bosom, that all his sheep were worried. BUT GOD’S PLANS – they were HIGHER; he took him away from the ministry for a reason and a purpose. HE has PREPARED Him for a BIGGER TOMORROW. Our God is  Awesome GOD, who reigns from Heaven ABOVE. He is the ONLY CREATOR of Heaven & Earth. Our GOD SAVES….not just from Accidents & Sickness…no he SAVES US FROM ALL OUR SITUATIONS.

HE OUR LORD JESUS has PAID it all; we are all redeemed by the BLOOD of THE LAMB. He is the KING of KINGS…the Beginning and the END….He is MATCHLESS….He Is OMNIPOTENT. HE is OUR GOD….. What an AWESOME GOD we serve.

There is so much to be spoken about OUR PASTOR, but even the more I write would be LESSER to define his characteristics. Although he has been advice to REST, I guess he must have picked the phone and called every sheep to see if they are doing well. What manner of man is OUR PASTOR? Totally dedicated to the KINGDOM of GOD and HIS WORKS.

Therefore folks, fasten your seatbelts, prepare your mind & soul, to receive that ANOINTING.

FINALLY

Eph:6:10: Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

Eph:6:11: Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

Eph:6:12: For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

BE BLESSED ALL YOU PEOPLE OF GOD !!!!!!!

"LIFE IS A JOURNEY & NOT A DESTINATION"

(Dear Folks, Friends, Brother’s & Sister’s in the Lord…..I have been away for long, God Blessed me with a job, unfortunately the timings are not suitable, yet HE IS THE GIVER, I have no complains. But what has really ridiculed me is that some of you have MISSED my POST’s. This in itself is an INSPIRATION. I THANK YOU all for reading, well I hope my previous posts have impacted your life in some way or the other, even if it’s 1%...I just THANK the ALMIGHTY FATHER…….)

Today I want to talk about LIFE, more about the basics; this post is going to be SCRIPTURE FREE. Forgive me because I have so much to align with practical facts of life.

LIFE IS A JOURNEY & NOT A DESTINATION……WE ALONE HOLD THE MAP, TO BROWSE THROUGH THE LATITUDES & LONGTITUDES.

We are all on a journey in life. It is a journey of discovery, of so many possibilities and of unexpected opportunity. Of course we do not know where we will end up - for our destination is unknown to us. Indeed, some people have a very strong sense of 'fate' of 'knowing' just where they will end up. Cheers to THEM…! But even then life is so big and so mysterious that because every day is a new day, none of us can know for sure where we will end up.

For everything in this journey of life we are on, there is a right wing and a left wing: for the wing of love there is anger; for the wing of destiny there is fear; for the wing of pain there is healing; for the wing of hurt there is forgiveness; for the wing of pride there is humility; for the wing of giving there is taking; for the wing of tears there is joy; for the wing of rejection there is acceptance; for the wing of judgment there is grace; for the wing of honor there is shame; for the wing of letting go there is the wing of keeping.

We can only fly with two wings and two wings can only stay in the air if there is a balance. Two beautiful wings is perfection. There is a generation of people who idealize perfection as the existence of only one of these wings every time. But I see that a bird with one wing is imperfect. An angel with one wing is imperfect. A butterfly with one wing is dead. So this generation of people strive to always cut off the other wing in the hopes of embodying their ideal of perfection, and in doing so, have created a crippled race.

But there are circumstances, which allow you to strive on one wing, no matter what, you have a war between your heart and mind. Ask yourself what the status of your wings is, do they fall in any of the above categories. As an individual you hope for a CHANGE, but this is far from happening. We are all so porous. We tend to give up, on this long journey. But here I am to encourage you to continue your journey with a hope.

Let’s ride into imagination, assume that God Blessed you & me with a SON, who grows up and is a PILOT someday. What would be his response to the above scenario….? This is how life for some is – CRASHED/CRUSHED INTO PIECES…..at ground level. We probably have taken off on the wrong plane.

Sometimes it is about being in the right place at the right time. Of taking the opportunities that life affords us and grabbing, with both hands, those opportunities. In life it is all about decisions. What happens if you take the left road instead of the right? What happens if you turn down the opportunity of marriage, and a potential family? So many decisions, and that is what life is, from beginning to end, a series of decisions and decision-making.

Life is all about 'whatifs' and 'maybes'. It is all about making those choices that we think are right for us, at that particular point in time. 

Life is what you make it and those words are true up to a point.  So be optimistic, believe that GOD is the CREATOR of Heaven & Earth, he has fashioned us so beautifully for a purpose. We are his workmanship alone, lest any man should boast. Believe that he wants you to have all the good things. Satan comes to steal, kill & destroy. Almighty God wants to give us everything in ABUNDANCE.

BE BLESSED FOLKS……

Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. (Psalm 139:13-16)

AS LONG AS I'M ALIVE ... SOMEONE NEEDS ENCOURAGEMENT

 Oh I just want to THANK YOU Lord...., THANK YOU that I hear YOUR VOICE my FATHER.  As I feel your presence guiding me into exploring the depth's of your WORD. I feel the POWER OF YOUR WORD at an INTENSITY so HIGH that I JUST BURN....BURN....BURN for you MY LORD.....!

Well the spirit of the sovereign Lord come and make your presence known and reveal the Glory of the Lord.....Your CREATION is so BEAUTIFUL...so VERY MAGNIFICENT...

It's your POWER that helps me to DIVE into your HOLY WORD to see what is the difference between CREATION and RESTORATION. The six days that are found in Genesis chapter one are not six days of creation; they are actually six days of restoration. In fact the earth was here long before the time of Adam and Eve. How long ago the beginning was we do not know. The Father,Son and Holy Spirit never had a beginning,but the universe and the earth did. That is where Genesis 1:1 comes in.

As long as I'm alive ... I'm relying on GOD'S ability to somehow be a blessing to others ... because honestly ... I've all run out of my OWN ability a long time ago.

The Apostle Paul came to an amazing revelation through his own suffering, I believe, when he wrote: 

Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ's sake.  For when I am weak, then I am strong.  (2 Corinthians 12:10)

I don't see myself on the spiritual level that Apostle Paul was ... YET ... but with God ... "All things are possible"! 

I AM HIS DIVINE WORKMANSHIP..........!

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. (Ephesians 2:10)

We are his workmanship. It is easy to get this wrong. It is often the case that believers struggle, trying to do everything in their own efforts. We forget that God is the Worker, not us! We don’t have to have all the answers, and we don’t have to fix everything for everybody. We are not the workers, but the workmanship.

This doesn’t mean we just sit and do nothing. Work needs to be done in all earthly relationships, and it is the same with God. If we want to know Him we need to spend time with Him in the Word and prayer. If we want to grow stronger we need to exercise a little discipline. This word is not for the careless and lazy. It is to those who want to please God, but they have got caught up in the mindset of “everything depends upon me.”

Unto good works. God is building us up for good works. Once again the religious mindset grabs hold of this and thinks, “I’ve gotta do something!” “Get busy for the Lord- that’s all He wants!” 

We are created unto God’s good works, that we should walk in them. I used to think that this was saying, “Get busy and do something for the Lord.” But this is saying that God wants to bring us into His good works, good works that Has already planned for us. Yet many of us believe that God only wants to bring us into trials so that we might be “schooled.” But it doesn’t say that we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto troubles and trials. Trials indeed will come and God can still use them in our lives. But there is greater joy in believing that God wants us to walk into His good works. He has thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end (not an unexpected tragedy). Jeremiah 29:11.

Believing this will motivate us to do our own good works for the Lord, and I believe it will motivate us better than the legalistic, “I’ve gotta do something” mindset. A musician plays better when he or she is relaxed. Our own works will become greater when we quit trying so hard in the flesh. The joy of faith is to find rest in the Worker, not our works. And we can be confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ Philippians 1:6.
