THE MANGER

I never expected anything like this

If there was to be a HAGGLE between my will and His I would never have BARGAINED for this
A strange being growing steadily in the belly of my espoused wife

-to-be

Born

-to-give

Life to His BRETHREN

Try having stone as BREAD-THEN you would see that this was not easy to swallow.

It seemed Mary was having a LION’s share of this predicament so I could BEAR to hang on for nine months, just so I would see what this little task that came by night would look like at TWILIGHT. My whole expectation of joy in marriage have suddenly been ECLIPSED by burden, like aligning the sun with the moon I was confused and groping in darkness, hoping that all of this SAGA just like my wife’s water would BREAK-IN-DAWN.
But then again, I had to endure another night of a weir wolf duel.

A tax payment trip to Bethlehem and Mary birthed Him. He who the angels proclaimed was to be named Jesus, Messiah, Holy One, I was in much anticipation I desired to look upon a God. I expected His birth to be like Glory rising, in royalty, magnificence I wouldn’t have been shocked if He was born with a crown to His head but instead when I looked in those eyes all I saw were twinkles.

Twinkle, little stars
I needn’t wonder what you are
For though you came from up above the world so high
Like a simple child you appeared in our lives

Right there, right then, I knew I had found a treasure, a diamond in a child so precious I would run half way across the world to keep Him safe from Herod. I protected a God, YES!!! I never had a normal marriage, but this junction is where my simple life of carpentry collided with God’s spoken word by His prophets and I became the one relevant carpenter in Bethlehem.

My name is Joseph

And I am here to tell you that as sure as darkness never outshines light, Though it might seem like the GOOD ROAD-HIGH SPEED-CAR RACING of your life is becoming a BAD BUMPY-SLOW MO-DONKEY RIDE, and you have fallen off the cliff into a stampede that leaves you picturing your MUFASA’s death, and it SEEM-BAD with everyone like dear uncle SCAR watching, remember that you are the KING’S SON and you would be the LION KING when all of this dust settles.

For no scar, no stampede, no darkness and no dust can outlive the one I have come to reintroduce to you.

I have come to reintroduce Him to you because it seems as those He gave His life to live are yet to realize that they have become living beings, still living off the leavens the Pharisees have been leaving them, leaving the love life left for them to live by the Living one, licking LIME and BITTER LEMONS, tasting but sour GRAPES allow me to heal your liver so you can take in His divine Grace for life in Christ is SWEET

ORANGES

He is THE VINE, you are His branches
If he is DIVINE that makes His branches same. Start acting like the Spirits you are 

Stop putting to shame your High priest. Just because your PLANE has crashed and you are LOST or you have been constantly SKIPPING MEALS like someone practicing for the HUNER GAMES doesn’t make God is dismayed in your situation see casts are going up you should give Him some credits

Make Him director, producer, script writer, let’s leave this whole movie to Him and do all that we have been called to “acting and costumes”

Dress up every day in full assurance that someone is in total control, His pain is your gain and I would say this again and again, JESUS ROCKS

The celebration of His first breath (CHRISTMAS) to the time He fulfilled His purpose should make you see the distance from a birth pang to an ‘it is finished’ on the cross so when your life becomes crossed and tangled always remember that God’s plans and purposed for people prevails

TRUST GOD NOT YOU, TRUST ONE NOT TWO, and He has spoken better things to abound for you in Christ now if you would put your whole faith on His ABIDING WORD nothing would be able to THUG at this.

Once again I am Joseph, the one relevant carpenter in history

God’s word, God’s sword, God’swill God will make you relevant wherever you find yourself today.

Listen to this, reason a bit

If LIFE ETERNAL could come in something as common as a manger, how ironically possible can God be in seemingly impossible situations?

God bless you.

QUICK QUOTEs

“It’s in surrendering our lives to Christ both in
words and action that unending power of God
begins to take full operation in our lives”.

Many
are yet to catch this.

My King

I fell… Yes, I fell.

Not for any fault of his, because he kept his own part of the bargain. He tried to talk me out of it, but I felt I could handle this one. If only I stopped to retrospect on the last time I tried to handle issues by myself, maybe I would have responded differently.

But guess what? He came to me in the mess I created for myself, by myself. A hand could have been enough, but he carried me. Ooh… Did I tell you how messed up I was? Did I tell you what he had to put up with while he carried me? He didn’t only have to put up with the vulgarity of my vanity, he endured the stench of my wetted pants.

If this was up to you, I can understand if you let me rot in my mess. Trust me, I would not take it out hard on you. My reasons are simple; I created this mess by myself.

He had over 7 billion matters to attend to, but it didn’t keep him from coming back for me. He didn’t just come, he came right on time. I mean that much to him.

He is my wonderful counselor, Prince of Peace… Above all, he is my King!

#AllHailTheKing

Tis a season to be merry
To give to the needy
To celebrate the birth of Jesus …

Whatever your reasons may be to so eagerly await this holiday; I’d like you to bear a thought in mind, Jesus came so He would die. He was born to come collect our punishments for our sins and forever nail them on the cross, forever breaking the bonds of sin and sickness.

I don’t mean to give another lecture on the Reason for the Season. I really am no fan of cliches…

Be it as it may, the world as we know it has set out the 25th of December of every year to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. You may not agree with my premise but it’s the truth. It is the BEAutiful truth and yes I know we ought to celebrate Christ everyday but “How beautiful and pleasant it is for brethren to gather together in unity…”

So I know you already get my point but here’s the thing…

I don’t want us to just talk,  I want us to act; not alone but together as brethren. Let us celebrate our greatest benefactor, our only Savior and Advocate, our Lord Jesus Christ: The One True Reigning King.

Right this moment Christians all over the world have taken to the social media platforms to celebrate the King in anyway they know how with the hashtag #AllHailTheKing and you ought to join in the praise. It gets all the more beautiful when we all do this together.

So from this minute up till the 25th of December 2015, let’s get praising together and get others in on the parade. Let #AllHailTheKing!

All you need do is update any of your social media accounts with the hashtag #AllHailTheKing or upload your pictures with the hashtag as well. Don’t put yourself in a box. Get to praising God just as you know how…

God bless you real good.
Yours-in-Christ
