Me First

God gave a complaint

He spoke to some people saying

They have abandoned His work

For this they are toiling

To end their fruitlessness…

He advised that they go back and build His house

This scenario reveals the heart of God towards His priests

People that should focus on His work doing otherwise

Rather than feed the sheep they feed themselves

Rather than build people they build palaces

God did not condemn the building

He only wanted His house built first

He wanted His primary goal considered first

He wants those He called, to stay on His path

The energy He gave, He wants it put in HIS HOUSE

Consider my desire above all else; God says

What the Lord asks offers tremendous benefits

However, it is a call to self-denial

Give God first; seek His kingdom first

All other things gets added

It is however not a priestly matter alone

All God’s children must participate, get involved

It’s easy to accuse pastors and prophets

But now the Lord addresses those in the pews

What is your contribution towards kingdom advancement?

Have you a talent use it

Have you time pray

Have you money give generously

God wants you and all that you have

As you submit yourself He promises to enable you

He promises to remove all barriers

He promises to surpass all ambitions

Join in the end time army

Lord Jesus I surrender my life to you, to make Jesus known.

Make me your feet, send me on errands; make me your mouthpiece and speak through me

Make me what you want, make me whole. Put your Spirit in me and give me divine abilities.

Remove all barriers before me and surpass all my expectations. In Jesus name I pray.

It’s a wrap

What has a beginning surely ends

Thank God for endings

After a stressful day, one looks forward to rest

For Evangelist Reinhard Bonnke rest approaches

After decades of ministry across the globe

The great man draws to a finale in style

Reinhard Bonnke farewell crusade holds

This baton is to be handed to another

I have read Living a life of Fire; his autobiography

It’s a life totally released unto God

Africa’s own evangelist

Calls us to gather one last time

My feelings are missed

Its sadness and joy; its fear and excitement

I dread the day but it approaches fast

I sense a strong message; I hear a warning

Can we find one such as him?

Completely sold, and out for God

Used and honored by the one he served

Dear, Dear Evangelist Bonnke

I recall a part of his biography

He stated that he was not the first or second…

He was actually a third choice

He accepted the call others rejected

As he rest from his long years of work

God calls out to you

Live for more than yourself

Live for more than physical needs

Papa Reinhard we have been blessed

We have been enriched

And now we are being challenged

Take the torch and touch the world you say

For those that will hear what God is saying

Let’s brace up and live for more

Let’s make the sacrifices

Let’s allow God in our lives

Fort-Ress

My fortress

My shelter from all storms

My Hiding place

My place of refuge

In the wicked world we live

We need a home away from home

A secret place of peace

A safe haven from all storms

God has become my place

In Him I hide

In His love I stride

In His peace I abide

It is the sweetest note

The most beautiful knowledge

To have my guide with me

The Lord strong and mighty walks with me

I stride gallantly

I march majestically

The sweet presence of God

Adorns my abode

So lovingly has He kept me

So much peace as He given me

What I do not deserve He bestows on me

I love the way the Lord cares for me

I really don’t know what I did to deserve Him

Life is sweeter; I am made bold by His presence

I am thankful for the priceless peace

I am using this piece to thank my Lord

But I will sing of your strength, in the morning I will sing of your love; for you are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble. O my Strength, I sing praise to you; you, O God, are my fortress, my loving God. Psalm 59:16,17

Still waiting

Sitting here in the waiting area

Waiting for any piece of information

Any news to end my long wait

It’s so frustrating; I know he will call for me

In life we are going to seat at different waiting rooms

It could be for a job, child, marriage, restoration…

It is no fun to have to wait for anything

But this is the reality we all experience

The question is; who are you waiting for

I have had to cancel meetings

When the other party showed up late

Especially when the excuse was inadequate

In God’s waiting room; it is different

The miracle you thought will be instant

Is dragging on for years

Several people I met at the waiting area have gone

I am still here, feeling abandoned

Wearied to even say another word of prayer

When when when; why why why

Still I am asked to wait

Does God even know I exist?

Does He even care ‘bout my plight

Why is He treating me this way?

Why is He not answering my calls?

If you are waiting on God

Then you will have to wait till He calls for you

Trust Him enough to enjoy the wait

Fill your life with is word; it gives hope

Burst any bubble of doubt as it arrives

The long wait will end soon

The long wait will be worth the while

Wait on God; you will possess soon

I wait for the LORD, my whole being waits, and in his word I put my hope. Psalm 130:5

True Riches

No pain, no gain

No labour, no favour

No fasting, no feasting

No grace, no good

The pursuit of money often lead to many paths

True enduring riches doesn’t spring up overnight, except by inheritance

A little here a little there

With help from above you will get there

It is a wonder the path some choose to attain wealth

They could go to extreme ends just to make money

By all evil method possible

Any extent; without a regard for their fellows

True riches is available to all

Come from the poorest background, or the richest

You can from anywhere get to the top

True riches is not without its price; but it gives true peace

I know the route I am taking up

And I can reproduce same no matter where I find myself

The secret is always in the secret place

My intimacy with my God I do not joke with

Rich in God; rich in friendships

Rich in favour; rich in ideas

Rich in help; rich in health

True riches gives all round wealth

Some of those you envy cannot sleep soundly

The devil plagues them with fear

They drown their sorrow with substances

Because the source of their wealth is questionable

Have peace of mind

Have joy in life

Have pleasures untold

Have the truest riches

Whoever is faithful with very little will also be faithful with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much. If, then, you have not; been faithful with

worldly wealth, who will entrust you with true riches?  Luke 16:10, 11

Don’t forget to share

Happenings

Flipping from one horrid news to another

Glancing at yet another evil occurrence

One begins to wonder…

Is there no good news

The world is in chaos

From the pulpit to the pew and the pub

Similar trends fill the air

Where is God? When will He appear?

The Lord is definitely not without witnesses

Their voices will yet be heard

They will be sought out for the power of God

Because steadily we are heading to them

There comes a time when man and machine fails

When our best and worst strategies comes to naught

A time approaches when we all look to God for answers

The world is in chaos; it has been prophesied

Let the dark get darker

It only makes the light more appealing

There is going to be an outbreak of God

God will appear, I am convinced

Let’s not be like those without hope

The earth is the Lord and all that’s in it

There will be a sudden appearance

I say to you; whatever you do. DO IT WELL

If good continue; if bad think of God’s watching eyes

I write of what I am told

What I have heard; what I am convinced of…

AN OUTBREAK OF GOD

Keep standing firmly in God

No negotiations

God is mighty to save; think about it

Have faith; believe for a better day

Lord, I have heard of your fame; I stand in awe of your deeds, Lord. Repeat them in our day, in our time make them known; in wrath remember mercy.

You came out to deliver your people, to save your anointed one. You crushed the leader of the land of wickedness,

you stripped him from head to foot. Habakkuk 3:2,13

Forever settled

The word of the Lord is it

The firm anchor that holds any storm

The gentle silencer of all cries

The word of God is it

Kings rule by decrees

Their word is law

You better adhere to their commands

Or you invoke their wrath

Under the influence of alcohol

A man can make impossible statements

Of course no one counts the word of a drunk

When he is sober you cannot hold him accountable

Were God to carelessly make a decree?

Were Him to say; you will be excel beyond odds

Amen! So be it, will be my response

But will His decree really become real?

There is always a meeting point for all God’s promises

The part of God is settled; the part of man is the variable

Many pronouncements of God has fizzled out

Because there is no man to make it happen

I realize that laziness could be a hindrance

Get up and work;

Laziness in the place of prayer

Laziness in action

To walk with God you must know about work

He works; He is not lazing around

While I rejoice with you that He has made a decree

I hope you will employ yourself to make it happen

Potentials awaiting manifestation

Will you get up and go

And let’s see God’s word become real for you

I am working; I hope you are too

I love to pray?

Various types and forms of prayers are taught in the Bible

Each suitable for its different use

Of course you know it is important to pray

Pray without ceasing

Do not give up on prayer

It is communicating with the Almighty

We need His help immensely and so we call

From the above we can deduce that praying is talking to God

What an immense privilege for us at these times

But several people see prayer as a bore

Probably because they do not know the blessing attached

Or maybe they have so many unanswered prayers

Firstly God NEVER answers the prayer of a sinner

And I discovered that many while praying to God

Are looking for other alternatives should God fail

God NEVER fails. He ALWAYS answers

If HE has not answered you

Then you wait, don’t go seeking alternatives

Many have put more yokes on themselves

By going for the devil’s offer or temporal alternative

I love talking to God

It’s fun for me because there’s no formality to it

He is my Father remember; and I am His child

Whatever chore or activity I undertake

There is always time to gist or ask Him for help or guidance

Of course there are special time I put aside to pray

But I advice you start with what time you can handle

Stop seeing prayer as a bore; see it as a Father - Son time

He is a Father like no other; He loves freely and He longs for you

Dear Father, I want to know you more and I want to spend more time with you. Please help me to grow in you. Help me to discard the irrelevances that eat up my time. Help me to prioritize being in your presence. Please make our prayer time a most enjoyable moment. I pray in Jesus name. Amen

I want the Bling Life

I want the bling life

I want to live in the best house

I want to drive the latest car

I want to travel the world

The quest for a better life

Was what drove Peter out to fish

But all his labour proved abortive

Not even a single fish was caught

Dejected and depressed, he was getting ready to go home

Suddenly, Jesus choose his boat for a revival service

He listened to Jesus and his hope was restored

He had just encountered the Messiah

When Jesus asked him to try again

His natural reaction was to refuse

Master! We have toiled all night long

We have tried at the best time to catch fishes

However, he obeyed and tried again

He became prosperous in that instant

Catching boats sinking fishes is definitely prosperity

But he will not go home with fishes

He had caught something worth far more

Jesus’s presence in his life

Was the surest guarantee to a life of abundance

Peter’s actions speaks to us today

We seek for things, what to wear, eat, dwell etc

A truly prosperous man is one who has Jesus

Fishes or Jesus? Perishable or everlasting blessing

I want Jesus; I choose Jesus

Come unto me all you that labour and are heavy laden and I will give you rest. Mathew 11:28

Much Ado ‘bout His name

Names have always been known to identify things or beings

It’s the norm to give name to things

A curious aunt is eager to learn what the newborn will be called

The happy granny will go ahead to give additional names

The names we bear severally determines who we will become

The name of Jesus; what’s it about His name

I was forced to ponder on this recently via a Christian movie shown on T.V

Each time the name of Jesus was mentioned it was deliberately silenced

Why was His name silenced?

I concluded that it was to make it unpopular

It could also be affecting them negatively; as…

At the mention of the name Jesus;

All knees must bow and all tongues must confess that Jesus is Lord

Sadly for those whose life’s goal is to silence His Name…

Some of us have chosen to make it our life work to pronounce His name

The attack on all Jesus is about is spreading

Though it is a fight they can never win, we must play our part

Knowing the attack on the name and person of Jesus

It is important that we that are identified with Him

Take a stand; let His influence in your live be known

Let your children, family and all know about Him

Spread His influence via your social mediums

Let us call is name in great faith that He may harken to us

The name of Jesus is too loud to be silenced

Again the fools have imagined a vain thing; a dream that can never happen

(Please read Psalm Chapter 2)

Oh how I love the name Jesus

It is the sweetest name, I know

The name of Jesus is stronger than the force of hell attacking you. Call on Him right away,

 You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart. Jeremiah 29:12-13

I Want Better

So help me God!

The pictures I see in the Medias; disturbs me

Man butchers his fellow as though it were chicken

The seed of hate; utter disregard and certainly no fear of God

The destination the world is heading to baffles me

I am eager to go to safer haven; (if such exists)…

I resign my fate to the soon coming Messiah

Help me Lord to make the trip with Jesus when He returns

I have often heard that the solution is in the church

And I know when men prays God hears

But could we have over used the grace meted out to us

Could we have made God turn a deaf ear to our pleas for mercy?

I do not know where your dwelling is on earth

But the evil I see and hear about in Africa

We have long surpassed the evil record of Sodom and Gomorrah

The black skin does not mean black heart

So much blood has been shed

Some forests have turned to human Abattoirs

Children are killed; young school girls kidnapped

Turned to sex dolls of brutal men

Pregnant women are slashed open with the child removed

To be squashed in a mortar; while the mother dies slowly in agony

For how long would we see another man’s head roll

This is the fate before some;

Where are the Prophets of our time?

Those who ear from God should please speak forth

Do we declare a fast, or do we take up arms and fight

We are in a war, warriors awake; there’s a task at hand

It is dangerous to feign unconcern; if the sky falls…

Things have got to change; but who will make the change happen?

What is God saying to His children at this time?

I hope we hear and obey accordingly

What Ails You?

What will I give to have God present with me always?

To have His ears for advice and direction

To feel is love in rejection and anguish

To have His peace in storm and unpleasant times

The Almighty God; the supreme Excellency

His influence is upon all things

The lover of man, but hater of sins

He has access to all places or people

There is no language that is strange to Him

The wisest thing is to stay glued to Him

He is the light that drowns darkness

He is the doctor that heals all diseases

A secret to success is to have God by my side

He knowns my end from my beginning

He knows where my fortune is lying

He is the best friend ever

No deception in Him, no unknown motive either

My success is a priority to Him

And my greatest advantage is to call Him Father

My Father! My Father!!

Do you miss having a Father?

Do you want to enjoy the company of a true friend?

Would you like to be guided and aided?

Do you want to be free from that addiction or sickness?

Almighty Lord, I would love to be your child. Please save me today

pardon my sins and wrong; help me to know you and walk in your ways.

Thank you for saving me. In Jesus name I pray. Amen

Come under His authority today

Be free from what ails others.

⁵ What ails you, O sea, that you fled? ...

Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord,
At the presence of the God of Jacob,
⁸ Who turned the rock into a pool of water Psalm 114
