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…

To Be Seen 2

What is happening in Lodebar...
That town doesn't get to be in the news often...
But on this day the kings’ heralds were in town... 
Mephiboseth was the man they sought...
 
He had been born a prince
Life happened and his royal garment got shredded 
Lodebar was the only location affordable 
A town of bareness, a place where nothing grows
 
This was his new address
Cut off from the beauty of the palace
Taken away from mingling with the creams
This became the fate of a Kings grandson
 
To make his shame more obvious
He was lame on both legs
And lacked the help of attendant slaves
I often allow my imagination paint me a picture
 
What I see of him is pathetic
He may fare better if no one knew his ancestry

At least he will avoid the goggling stares
A fall from grace, by no fault of his
 
Away from all that was familiar
Disinherited from all that could have been his
Living out his days in horrid reality
Yet; the seeing God was on his case…
 
Jehovah El Roi will cause David to remember…
Mephibosheth was to be searched out
He was to be returned to the palace
He will once again seat amongst princes

Get God to see you

Pray, fast do whatever it requires

Hagar, Mephibosheth had pleasant turn arounds

Don't end in Lodebar or keep wandering in a desert

To Be Seen

He is known by several beautiful names
Yet Hagar will give another; El Roi
A Hebrew name meaning The God who sees me
What a name from a most unexpected person

Everyone has a story, Hagar's side is not often heard
She grew and at some point became a slave 
Then she will be used as a mistress 
Bait for children for her madam

Don't blame her if ambition kicked in
And she will want to be more than just a slave
After all they gave her the taste of the pudding
She also desire the finer things of life...

She won't have her wishes; she was shown the door
She was sent out with her son into uncertainty 
Few food and supplies for a desert journey 
What really were their chances of surviving?

Starvation is their imminent end 

Ishmael wont stop crying for the food she cant provide

His cries ripped her soul apart
So she set her child apart so not to witness his death

El Roi will be true to His promise

The seed of Abraham is snatched from death

She has been seen by the One who can help
The One who’s mindful of them

I want to be seen and helped by the one who’s got me

To be embraced by the One who controls the Universe

The One who knows what every sigh means
Who can wipe my tears and give me a pleasant beginning

It is Well

It is well is hardly the statement of a bereaved...
What is obtainable is cries and wailings...
But she will keep a calm posture...
In the face of a the death of an only son.

She married early but there were no kids...
She will devote her time into other ventures...
She was benevolent and discerning...
When Elisha will enter her life she knew what to do.

Her good deeds will prompt the man to bless her..
The son arrived in her old age...
And suddenly he died in his prime...
Yet she could say it is well.

Adversity cant be wished away...
Sometimes the weather is not friendly...
The popular song; it is well with my soul...
Came from an unimaginable loss...

A grieving father will encourage millions…
A timeless piece from a place of profound sorrow...
He kept his eyes on Jesus his anchor...
He found solace in his faith in Him

Believers! Believe in your Lord keep your gaze on Him
He is the one that can see us through a storm
Let His word in; He will not leave or forsake...
We will need His counsel to displace the undesired

When peace like a river, attends my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, You have taught me to know
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

Mustard Big

Is there anything hard for God?
The common answer is nothing 
Should anything be hard for Gods children?
The honest answer is several things seem defiant

You can move mountain if you have faith...

Faith as small as the mustard seed...

This little can bring so mush...

Yet why so little proofs...

Persistence continued prayers...

Positive confessions in spite of contrary evidence… 
Obedience even when it doesn't make sense…

These are the difficult things to do

This are reasons why issues remain same
A mustard seed size of faith can move mountain
How do I know if my professed faith is sufficient?
What makes for this size of faith?

You determine if your faith will work
God doesn't lie, we can agree to 

You need to grow your trust size in God

This you will achieve by diligent study of scripture

Faith sees inner convictions

Faith knows the end from the beginning

Faith always win; Faith acts and speaks as God 

Faith is unshakable as God; Faith endures till the end

This is the faith of the mustard size
Never doubting, always trusting
Able to believe; doesn't critic or analyze 
It simply trusts the one who says

In the annals of faith, will your name be written

Will you taste and proof the God who never fails

For truly I say to you, if you have faith as much as is a grain of mustard seed, you shall say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there', and it shall move. Matthew 17:20

A Hundred Thousand...

A 100,000 sheep and wool from a 100,000 rams…
Is what a nation pays yearly to another nation
To achieve this target; many workers will be enrolled
This job they will do with little or no wage

King Mesha at some point couldn’t take this anymore
He can’t continue to build for another to inhabit
So he raised an army to fight off the task master
He was willing to do anything for freedom

When he noticed he will lose the battle…
(His opponent had the support of three nations)
He sacrificed his heir; The one to rule after him
This is the extent he will go for victory 2 Kings chapter 3

There are some journey one must discontinue...
Trips that have no clear cut destination...
Going round in an unpleasant circle...
Sweating hard with nothing to show for effort...

Continued impoverishing by the same enemy...
Paying off a debt that’s never reducing...
Like Mesha its time to spit out the bitter pill
It’s time to end this torturous season

Jesus is our go to; the sure plug for victory
Is there an area of bitterness? don’t watch what you detest
Notice that until the King arose; nothing changed
The enemy never wants to lose any

I must not continue like this; there must be an out
End the unpleasant situation; Get up, give it your all 
Refuse to accept the slightest hint of bondage
Jesus triumph is our victory chant 

He was wounded and crushed for our sins. He was beaten that we might have peace... Isiah 53:5
