My Family

Sometimes I sit and wonder
What would it have been like to be the eldest in the family?
To have everyone under you
And then I start to think, what kind of person would I be with no-one above me
It seems I’ve never known or grown in any environment without another person over me and never will
But I guess you have to look at it from Heaven’s eyes
Our lives were known before we were even there
Every birth that took place in our family was a blessing to the world
And now that we are grown and mature and have to make our own choices
I can decide to follow or disregard those that set the example before me
But how can I disregard the footsteps of not one, but three
Much I’ve learnt when they were there,
Little I would gained if they were not there
There’s a love that I give, and also receive freely from my own
A love I can never neglect and it cannot dwell alone
I can’t even imagine life without my loved ones
Because without anyone of them I wouldn’t have made it this far
I have to live my life knowing this one thing
That whatever I do, wherever I am
My reproach is their reproach
My failures are their failures
My promotion is their promotion
And my success is their success
I have to make them proud
And to this I am vowed
All of my life I have to do something with what the Lord gave me
And I can never ask for any other better family
Because when God gives, He gives the best
And He will never make mistakes
His ways are perfect and if we follow them we’ll be blessed
Prosperity and success has a foundation
And it has to start with what has been instilled in you by those that gave advice
So I thank God that He found me special to give me those that He baptized
Now the word is in my hands, and it will take a strong hand of faith to execute it
Quitters never win, and winners never quit
I won’t be the one to start a bad trend
I’m here to stick it out till the end
I am blessed, not cursed with Jesus as my best friend
*MY FAMILY’S MY LIFE*
Jer. 29:11
"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to GIVE YOU AN EXPECTED END."
John15:12
This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.

You, the world and I

What do you see when you look at me?
Do you just see an ordinary person? Do you think I’m like the rest of this world? No! How can I be? After all, I am not of this world, so I cannot be like the world. You may think that we’re all the same, but nay. “Our Rock is not like their rock”. My soul is bound for the Promised Land. That is why I cannot live like the world lives, I cannot talk like the world talks and I cannot go where the world goes. See children of God are peculiar treasure. “We’ve been made more than conquerors, over comers in this life; we’ve been made victorious, through the Blood of Jesus Christ”. Brother if you think what that song means you won’t settle for anything less than the best. You can’t stay at the same position that you where in before you came to this original Word of promise, NO! u have to refuse and not let the devil take your possession.

The problem with people is that they think that they are loved and liked by the world. Yeah of cause, they like you for your money and because you let them, they will use you, abuse you and leave you rotten in the gutter with nothing and nowhere to go! You think the world likes you, nah my sister, the world DON’T like you at all. They HATE you. That’s what the Lord said when He was here on earth, and that is why He even prayed for you. But His word still remains in which He said in John 15:18-21“If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. Remember the word that I said to you... If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you... because they do not know Him who sent Me."
So don’t you think that the world likes you my friend, because if you think that, you will end up with the wrong company. Just knowing that He chose you, OUT of all the billions that are in the world….shouldn’t that be enough for you? But Jesus said in John14:18 "I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you”27_Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
28_Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I."

So even when the worlds don’t like you, God cares, and He’s there with you if you believe it. All you have to do is call Him; He’s just a prayer away. People try too hard and crank up a whole load of things which only brings them worries and burdens. And after you’ve done all that, God is just waiting for you to call Him up and tell Him what you want. Stop trying to do this and that and just give all up to Jesus. Walk with your head up high and show this world we don’t believe in a God that is dead, NO NO NO! He is alive, and if He’s alive He lives in you. So why should you walk with your head down when you have the One and only True King of Kings living right inside oh you. Ah some off it man, we gotta show the world that we’ve got the power.
Don’t you want to live you dream? I do, I wanna live my dream. But you have to say it, tell the world until they get sick of hearing it. The more you say it, the more you believe it, and the more you believe it, the more you say it, so SAY IT OUT LOUD!!

Life's lesson ~ FAITH

Sometimes in life we overlook many things that are important to us. Influences start to draw people apart from the ways that have been taught all their lives, especially young people. We lose focus on the things that matter in life and begin to depend on the pleasures of the world. But for us to be of any success, we have to turn ourselves from the things that drag us down and walk in the examples that have been set before us. This is the only way we can find any solution to our numerous problems that most of the time we think we can fix them ourselves. You try so many things, go to great lengths to try and find help when it is lying right in front of you. The problem that most people have is pride. People don’t want to take advice because they think they will be losing their dignity, they want to be the one’s known to know everything. But as long as one remains stubborn and hardens their head, they cannot receive any help that they need. Maybe sometimes we are not given the best of advice, but give someone the chance to have their say, then you be the invigilator and you have a right to mediate what you have been given. But for anyone to be success they must be willing to take in what other people have to say for them to better themselves.

There are so many things that happen in life that teach everyone a lesson. But to walk this road of life is not easy, that is why you must apply the principle of the Word. You cannot be successful if you live life in a haphazard way. For anything that is made, there is a operational manual. So as human beings, we will never be able to reach our full potential unless we read the manual. Because if you buy something, and just use it from your own intellectual knowledge, you are not using it to its full potential; because there are many things about that thing, that you do not know it has unless you read the manual. Therefore what we need to use for ourselves is the Word of God. There is no success outside of it. The key principle that we need is in the Word, and that is FAITH. “Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God”. “Without Faith it is impossible to please God”, and it is absolutely impossible.

Many people say they have faith, but they have nothing to show for it. But the word of God says that “Faith without works is DEAD”. So no matter how much a person says they have faith and do not show anything for it, it is of no use at all. There is always an action that follows faith. You have to show faith by your actions, because God will come and honour the action of faith that you’ll take. Where there’s faith there are always risks, but you need to have an aggressive faith, that will defy the odds. That’s what faith is all about, it reaches out for a paradox because that’s the way God works. The solution that He’ll give will be so much above your imagination when you expect something else. It may be the simplest solution, but the wonders it will work are phenomenal.

Now in everyday that I’m living , I’m expecting a miracle, I’m expecting something out of the ordinary, I’m expecting the impossible. This a year with an anointing of ACTION. I feel it deep within me, because you can’t just sit down and not act. There has to come a time where you will welcome change, with open arms. Change has come, this is the season for change, and it is going to take effect. I may not know how, I may not when, but my God has got it all in control and He’s working on it. I am not where I want to be, but one thing for sure, is that I’m not what I used to be. To make me what I need to be. It took him just a week to make the moon and stars the sun and the earth and Jupiter and Mars. How loving and patient He must be; 'Cause He's still working' on me. Amen
