No Ceasing

Pray without ceasing; is it even possible?
My answer is a Loud Yes
It may seem unrealistic
But, the benefit makes it achievable
 
I love to use this illustration
Clear a field of grass or what else
If you do nothing on the field
The grass grows right back
 
I will describe the grass as issues and stuff
When your field is worked on consistently
Yes, the grass will want to show up
But you are hands on to exterminate
 
If you won’t be consistent in the place of prayer
You won’t be a wise land owner
Maintaining your field always
Makes you spot an intrusion early
 
Now praying must be backed with knowledge
You are conversing with an All Wise God
Don’t come displaying ignorance
This is why you need to study His word
 
And when faced with a pertinent concern
Dedicate more time in dealing with it
There are great rewards
For me; it’s the presence of God
 
I believe you know it’s not all about ask, receive
It’s an opportunity to worship The Awesome God
His aura will rob on you
And you get to enjoy ease out there

Peter

Peter asked to walk on water; and he did
He chose to believe for more; and he started
What others dared and feared; he attempted
And right in the middle; he began to sink
 
He started with great faith...
Steadily progress was being made...
Suddenly a mishap or mistake...
And its turning to a thing of regret...

No one sets out to fail on  a task

But as it is said... life happens

Why did I decide to do this... he thought to himself

I must be a fool to think I can pull it off...

The project he started had become overwhelming
He believed he could move the mountain...

He had faith he could get the job done...

What was an initial success, is turning to failure
 
If he knew he will lose; he wouldn’t have dared

If he thought he wont finish: he wont have began

He took his gaze off Jesus and now this

He has laid the foundation; he must complete it

Thankfully he was wise enough to call for help

Peter teaches a valid message on prayer

Let's learn from him; don't drown in the mess

The effectual prayer of the righteous avails much...

You may cry, complain  or worry...

You could blame the economy or the devil...

You can even be angry that Jesus also saw the waves...

Or you can just pray to your Savior...

But when he looked around at the high waves, he was terrified and began 

to sink. save me Lord he shouted. Matt 14:30    tejuwrite@gmail.com

There's More

Few more laps to go in the year
Yet I am certain there's still much more
I can't seem to bring it to a wrap

I am focused on what it still hold

  
There's celebration and I'm gearing up
There's a project that must be completed

I cant pack up and leave yet

I hear the Lord say, there's more

There’s still time before it ends
The game is not over and I’m not quitting
I am not ready to back down
There are treasures to still unearth

So I stand in faith
The best is still ahead
I will not back down or speak contrary
I won't stop believing

I will not stop praying and possibly fasting
I will not throw in the towel
I must get all that is mine
So join in, lets push further there's much more

The wine may arrive late
But it’s the best there is

Its time to listen to your Lords instruction

He says there is still plenty to enjoy

No one can stop the hand of God 
None can stop him from speaking
He His a sovereign... He must be obliged

More He says; More I get

“Everyone serves the good wine first, and when people have drunk freely, then the poor wine. But you have kept the good wine until now. John 2:10      tejuwrite@gmail.com

 

In an Instant

38 years is a long time to be in a spot
It has been 38 years of trying’s and failure
38 years of seeking for help but none came
38 years that seem will never end…
 
Rise; take up your bed and walk…
In few words Jesus dispersed his woes…
He made nothing what had been daunting
He removed his plaque just like that…
 
He made him wonder if he dreamed
This menacing adversity sent off so casually
Peace be still quieted the storm
A paralyzed man delivered without fuss
 

As usual my mind paints a picture…
How many can stand at par with him
The simplest of task will be real tasking
38 years of no real help
 
Jesus!!! Come swiftly to my rescue
Another day of shame I cannot bear
You care that I don’t drown in the storm
You promised joy not sorrow...
 
Praying is us calling His attention to ourselves
Meditating his building our faith in him
The mountain will not look as huge as we thought
We will see the end of all afflictions
 
What’s wrong, Red Sea, that made you hurry out of their way?
    What happened, Jordan River, that you turned away?
 Why, mountains, did you skip like rams?
    Why, hills, like lambs?
 
Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord,
    at the presence of the God of Jacob.
He turned the rock into a pool of water;
    yes, a spring of water flowed from solid rock. Psalm 114:5-8

Take me Deeper

To go higher; its a must to go deep
That tall building; go check its foundation 
This is what it takes to shine for longer
This sort is no stroll in the park...
 
Gold is not picked on earths surface
To come about diamond is not by coincidence 
Treasure is never in plain sight 
Luck is great, but don't depend solely on it

A proven system is bankable 
But that is even no guarantee in a storm
It's said the race is not won by the swift
The arm of flesh has failed many of its believers
 
If you know what to do, please do
For Peter fishing was a trade he was great at

Yet his skill and expertise will send him home empty

How many with great CVs get no where

The widow had no clue of how to get out of debt

She will loose two boys soon...

If crying is a solution; she has a river

But will it bail her from the woe that's ahead

For Job, unheard voices were at work 

He was left to face unseen battles
What was his mistake, where was he in the wrong

Yet he was plagued by a pain in the heart

 
Have depth in God 

In the days of plenty prepare for famine
Keep being His sheep 

Don't stray no matter how much it hurts

Introducing Faith and patience 

This combo can be tough

Just trust and stay rooted in Him

In your due time it will happen...
 
 Master," Simon replied, "we worked hard all last night and didn't catch a thing. But if you say so, we'll try again. "Luke 5:5 "   tejuwrite@gmail.com
 

Don't Fall From Grace

I have read the Psalm before
But I saw it quiet differently
Several versions gave clearer meaning 
Which forced meditation and prayers

Psalm 89 is about King David
Though he's not the author 
It's about the Lord's choice of a nobody 
The help he obtained though he was undesired...

He came from one of the worst place ever
To the top of the dynasty 
With promises of his unending relevance 
His name will endure forever; God will see to it

Talk of safety, greatness, fame, victory, relevance...
It's a long read of enviable promises 
Then suddenly the words changed 
God will walk away from this wow blessings 

The Lord will not do as he promised 
The psalmist wants Gods anger to subside
And I wanted to know what went wrong...
What was responsible for this fallout?

Was the bridge ever mended?
This were some of my thoughts; then my prayer 
May I not fall from Grace. 
Don't take for granted Gods largesse

Too Early, Too Late

When Mary was told you have been favored 
She didn't expect it to be pregnancy outside wedlock 
It looked more like a burden 
It seems like a forced load

God could have waited just for few more months...
He could have hastened their marriage plans...
After all; she was already engaged to be married

Then gift them Jesus in Holy Matrimony

Having  a son nine months after 
Will come with joyful celebration 

Jesus himself will have a soft landing
But this so called blessing will come with shame

She will have to endure questioning stares

She will have to explain an impossible situation 
She will be disengaged from her would be spouse
So much for the blessings of God that adds no sorrow 

Zachariah, Elizabeth, Mary and Joseph
Had an intertwined destiny 
Elizabeth's pregnancy in old age is the trigger
But in all; God will bring His Will in His time

So at the appointment seasons 
Zechariahs unbelief couldn't stop the momentum 
Mary unmarried status won't be a barrier 

John the Baptist and Jesus must be born

What has been written must stand

If it's in your destiny it will come to pass
However you may have to wait it out like the Zechariah's 
Or have it earlier like Mary and Joseph

And we know that God works all things together for the good of those who love Him, who are called according to His purpose. Romans 8:28    …Tejuwrite…
