Are You Set?

 The air of the coming years fills everywhere

With keen expectancy we await it

When the wrapper is taken off; what gift do I get

 

The countdown has long begun closing in on us

Jubilation's everywhere, the atmosphere speaks loudly

I see more smiling faces, I see more relaxed minds

Some are taking notes of this old year

Some are writing the resolutions that gets abandoned half way

And still some are without any expectation

When the gun shot sounds; the race begins in earnest

You can have a good start if you

Come to the tracks prepared

Each year has its own uniqueness

God always speak forth concerning the year

One way to help you is to do the following

What is God’s specific will for me?

What part do I play to attain it?

Take responsibility to receive your portion

So do not wait for someone to tell you what 2017 will be

Be your own prophet; go to God simply and sincerely

Seek the Lord out in His word and prayers

There is still time…

Here’s a little help: My Father I am glad to be alive and well till now. But as I count down to this year’s end and race towards 2017 please reveal your unique plan for me. Help me to understand your plans for my life and help me to take the needful steps to attain it. I pray in Jesus name

My 13th Carol

Just some months back it was January

Privileged I was to witness a New Year

And now at the last month I am still here, standing stronger

This end has been indeed better

Each year comes with its own uniqueness

Ups and downs make the climb more challenging

Challenges surmounted make us champions

It was not a smooth sail through

But the faithfulness of my Lord has never waned

Let the thanks pour forth from grateful hearts

Who have climbed the 12 steps of this year and not fallen

While the year had not been without dark clouds

You and I have not drowned in it; the silver lining has sparkled

I sing my carols to the Lord for each of the 12 months

January - my first fresh start; February - I was stabilized balanced

March - The Trinity were there, and in April - good news

Gracefully clothed May-a star was born; June - was Joyous

July - how can I forget the wonderful memory of motherhood

August - lived up to its name; September - the most productive

October - I rep my country Nigeria and November- all shame averted

For obvious reasons December is my favorite- most colorful, well favored

My 13^th carol is the Tejuwrite Blog special thanks to God

A while back we started on the Lord’s command

I thought a nation or two will take notice

But I humbly say tens of nations from all but one continent

Even if no one has read the posts and even if no one had been there to

Commend, encourage or counsel the thanks will not have reduced

And as we look towards the New Year; it is new and so it will be better

With a grateful heart I appreciate God and appreciate you also

Let there be resounding praises from all nations to appreciate The Almighty

As for me, from my very depth I appreciate My Most Loving Father

Let everything that has breath praise the Lord

Ordinary people

We are just ordinary people

Living ordinary lives

Going about our business normally

But doing extra ordinary things

Untitled, unranked, but enlisted

It is not rocket science

You do not need voluminous curriculum vitae

All that is expected is that you be committed

Totally bought over by the Lord’s assignment

The Lord wants the world saved

He needs ordinary men and women

Who have an extra ordinary love for Him

And are willing to do His every bid

Start where you are

Talk to someone, smile and share a word

Just have a sense of duty as you engage in your normal duty

The man or woman you meet today may need your Godly counsel

Do not pass by an opportunity to be good

Act on the promptings of the Holy Spirit

Say a word of prayer for the fellow whose picture came to your mind

It is so simple to be a blessing

Just have the mindset as you go about your normal day

Your ordinary day will be a most fulfilling one

When you think of how many smiles you brought to peoples face

It is not so much in the big things

Show you care in the little things too

It is that simple, and there’s more

For the good you do today

A bounty reward awaits you

The Lord is not a slave driver

Each worker gets paid fully

Everywhere Jesus went He was doing good, Be a Jesus to someone today

Me and My axe

I and My ax, are just the perfect combination

To destroy opposing trees and hindrance our way

Not either or; but together always

For a while I have been waiting

Excuses I keep getting; I’m too dull…

I’m not strong; I’ve not felled a tree before, and so on

Was my making you a mistake?

Was my sustaining you my wrong?

Why did I invest much, to get nothing?

So many trees standing in my path

Who do I take to work my field?

My war axe full of potential

But not willing to be wielded

God and you in a world of sin Is a potent combination 

It stands undefeated always

Many will rather join the crowd

Than stand with their Maker

They are deceived... the devil tells them...

It is no fun; it is not cool; you will be termed a fanatic

As for me; I will rather identify and be relevant

Than be cool and headed to Hell

God has no need for cold or lukewarm children

State where you stand and stand there firmly

But if you name God’s name; make your life available to Him

Note this; if God is waiting on you; calling you

Soon He won’t; He will move on to someone more willing

God is never short of substitutes

He replaces those who ignore Him

Why deny Him openly; when you know you need Him so

If you will surrender to Him, you can still be relevant at these times

A vessel made for the Masters use

As for me, I ask Him to give me nations

And yes He will, because together with My God

We will wroth great wonders here.

“You are My battle-ax and weapons of war: For with you I will break the nation in pieces; with you I will destroy kingdoms - Jeremiah 51:20.   You can read further to verse 23

Here's a little help: Simply ask the Lord to help you.

You had better let them go

For several years he enjoyed their free service

For several years the Lord’s children cried to be free

The Lord sent a straight command to Pharaoh; Let My People Go

When the time truly comes; God’s will gets done

No human or devilish power can stand His decreed injunction

Let them go! God says to let them go

There is something about God’s appointed time

Everything is put in place and He Himself is present

His plan turns out as planned; always

You can take the camel to water but can you force it to drink?

You have cried to the Lord severally to save; wipe your eyes

He heard, He is come; take His hand let Him lead you out

A super loving Father; A super saving Lord; A super cool Friend

He is all this and much more; He is the terrible one in battle

Stronger than the strongest; who can withstand His Great power

Lift up your heads you ancient doors

Everlasting doors I command in Jesus name be lifted

And the king, the Lord strong and mighty shall come in

The Judge and Chief Advocate of Heaven and Earth says; Let My People Go!

Who is this King of Glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle. Lift up your heads, O you gates; lift them up, you ancient doors, that the King of Glory may come in. who is this King of Glory? The Lord Almighty – he is the King of Glory Psalm 24: 8-10

Is Jesus in your life? Be doubly sure…

Lord Jesus I come today in repentance of all my wrongs, please forgive me my sins. I acknowledge you as the Lord of all please come and become the Lord of me. Wash me from all my sins and guilt’s of sin. Make me your child today. Also Lord deliver me from all oppression of the wicked. Thank you for saving me. In Jesus name I pray (Amen)

Do you know…?

There was once an angel; made with great beauty

He was full of wisdom and power

He was a great singer; He was named Lucifer

He was God’s creation; he chose to become Satan the devil

He planned to unseat God; he was unsatisfied with all the glory he had

In His words; …I will ascend above the tops of the clouds;

I will make myself like the Most High (see Isaiah 14: 12-15)

God will never share His Glory with anyone; He sent him packing

He came to earth deceived man and took his place of dominion

Man became subject to his rule of terror and pain

Man once made to enjoy the earth became a slave, a toiler

The princes of God became servants of Satan; oh! What a shame

In comes Jesus the Christ; sent forth to liberate man from His rule

He died in your place and mine; He rose triumphantly from the dead

He fulfilled the legal requirements; Satan was forced to drop all claims on you

You have been delivered; you are free to go home

However; you have a choice in this matter

You choose either Jesus your Deliverer or Satan the slave

Jesus is coming back, to take to heaven, those who chose Him while on earth

And we will live with Him in a new earth; full of love and loving people

Do you know; the judgment of God is coming upon Satan (See Revelations 20:10)

If you reject Jesus; you’ve made a choice to be in hell with Satan

Do you know that Jesus loves you greatly? He loves you He is calling on you…

Let Him remove the yokes the devil put on you;

Make Jesus your Lord today; here’s a little help

Dear Jesus, I accept you as the Lord of my life. Have mercy on me; forgive me of my wrongs, make me your child today. Save me from all sinful desires make me whole. In Jesus name I pray (Amen)

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full John 10:10

Do not postpone, change camps now; hanging out with the Devil has no benefit on earth or in the world to come.

Help save a friend; share

I refuse to look

The media is doing a great job updating us with happenings

Consistently it keeps us abreast of the goings around us

Kudos for a great job; but careful

 

The same news in different wrappings daily

Killings, bombings, corruption, bad economy, on and on

Yes I need to know what’s up; but careful

What we see and hear consistently influences

The pictures can haunt, the memory stays on

This soul food can kill our faith; but please be careful

It is no news; the Bible broke it first

We are in the last days, famine, wars this are signs

It becomes more glaring each day; be careful

I wish I can shut down the news, but I can not

I must rather tune up God’s word; yes increase the volume

Strategically play down contrary news

I will not live in fear; My God will see me through these times

Help will come for the helpless; the light will shine brighter

Nations shall be won for the Lord; God’s army march triumphant

Fellow soldiers; above the commotion

God sends marching orders, the harvest is plentiful

Do not be idle, use God’s tool in your hands

The world groans; awaiting you to arise

The cries are your cue; pray, fast but act

God’s got an army. Get up; March through the land

You are sent to give Hope to the world, says The Lord to His own

Share to fellow comrades

Jacob’s Place

His greatest fear was just before him

He will be meeting his twin after forty years

It is supposed to be a great reunion

But with the way they parted; it was a much dreaded meet

Esau had gotten quiet an army; four hundred men on foot

This huge crowd against Jacob and his team of tens

Something must happen and it must happen fast

He went apart from his family to be alone with God

He found a spot; I call it Jacob’s place

And he prayed until he got his answer

Jacob’s place is a place of total concentration

Total focus on God who can deliver

There are instance where we need deliverance

From things too much for us to handle

Toiling all night with little returns

Is a clear case of deliverance

The will of God for you is not poverty, sickness

It is not stagnation, barrenness or harassment from demons

But will you separate yourself to seek God…

Like Jacob did till he got a change of name

Take some time out to seek God in prayers

Ask Him to intervene and defeat enemies too great for you to handle

So Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him till day break   Genesis 32:24

No. 12

It is a wrap, the countdown has begun

2015 quietly bade bye and I pause in wonder to recount

It was just yesterday that I shouted Happy New Year

And now I am right at the final lap

So many waters have passed but I did not get drowned

The thanks is to the Lord

Whoa! In December already

What is still in this year’s kitty for me?

December I am glad it is my birth month and Jesus’ too

If a single piece is missed from a jigsaw puzzle; the beauty is lost

What is still in this 12^th month?

What is the last piece that will make my beauty glow?

The best is always kept for the last

As we peruse this month together

Let’s be confident…

He who began a good work in us; is able to perfect it

Happy December, Joy to the world
