EVERYDAYJESUS’ Worship 2 (an update)!

Leave a comment

Once upon a time, I could talk a plenty. The thing is that I had this phobia for awkward silence, so I always filled in the gap. Yes, I did fill in the silent spaces with just anything, most times with just the most awkward things for the most awkward silence- I know I am talking almost gibberish but you can manage , lol! Other times I just liked to talk because I enjoyed it a lot, hearing myself talk, talk, talk again, get tired and feel guilty later too, lol. You know, one of the deepest forms of worship is fighting for approval, and whosoever’s approval that I seek the most is who I love the most, and whosoever that I love the most is who I worship. The funny thing about seeking man’s applauds is that you don’t worship the man whose applause you sought but you get the applause or want the applause while singing your own praise, giving glory, worship, and honor to your own very self. Most of the times when I talk too much, listening to nobody and nothing else but my own voice, ceasing every piece of a conversation, talking and suggesting myself hoping to get admiration, I merely worship myself. And that very approval of man I never end up getting. Most of the time I am left empty, feeling exhausted for trying so hard and of course getting little because self-worship brings about more worship of self. The emptiness felt is the void created by the sin of idolatry- All glory must go to God. Worship is talking less of self, and more of God. Worship is listening carefully to the words of men just to hear the voice of God lingering and caressing my ears, learning more, talking more again of God at every opportunity and whenever myself is mentioned, it is just to confess allegiance to the King of Kings. That is worship. But why do I keep learning these truths and at every chance I talk with man I see self-worship again? The natural man wants to be like God, I guess. The only time that man can ever and even give me applause is when I have forgotten how to seek their applause because I am busy caring about the validation of Yahweh. This is the time that I really forget about myself and every other man. I can never hear God’s voice in my conversations when I am not busy listening and listening and listening again. When I am busy talking and talking and talking again, I will not know and enjoy the comfort of hearing God’s sweet voice even from the very worst man.
Listening is one way to enjoy the finer things of life. Listeners look more beautiful than talkers- they are not under stress. Listen, and test, and search, and enjoy and listen again. Forget to speak, that is worship and worship is refreshing. “But the hour is coming and now is when the true worshippers will worship the father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. “ God is Spirit and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”- John 4:23-24 (NKJV). Therefore, I urge you, brothers in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God –this is your spiritual act of worship.
–Romans 12:1 (NIV)

So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath. -James 1:19(NKJV).

EVERYDAYJESUS’ Extremist (a poem)

Leave a comment

Rhyming fanatical
Minding less people’s desire
This is my nature, black and spiritual
For every line so identical
And I’m so desperate to go tactical.
These are the words of an individual
Playing with words, I’m methodical
Let suggestion be raised higher
That am against the law of poetry, not metaphorical
O yes I know, I care to be optional
My mind recommends being optical
And for once be mystical.
This is my arrival
After days of sabbatical
Fighting fear that eats up my words like a cannibal
Until then yields revival to be a survival
Never to be diabolical
Nor be prodigal.
Enemies’ emphasis so radical
Walloping chant going lyrical
Seeking answers.
I prescribe poetic pharmaceuticals
O yes! I’m phenomenal
Not to be egotistical
But an observation, for I choose this lane, I’m being motivational
So exceptional!
The alchemist

Author note:
Inspired by Earl the Pearl work “extremist”

I feel it is right for every poet to be who they are. And to be free like the waters. There should not be restriction to what you can do. We are all different. We possess different style, view and gift, which makes the world a better…

You have to believe in what you can do, and do it right…. everyone is an extremist in their own way…

EVERYDAYJESUS’ ‘What is life?’ (A poem)

Leave a comment

What is life?
Is life merely about the strife?
Existing to be seen?
To be seen growing?
And too keen on the hour death will appear?
Is life about the days?
The rays of a life time?
Breathing to make a regular cycle?
To be born in the flame of time?
To grow and be tamed?
To be schooled and screwed?
To be a worker then end as a walker?
To get retired and keep on being ‘real tired’?
And to die?

What is life?
It is about,
Living to the full,
Without being ruled by the society,
And without anxiety.
To reckon Christ,
For us to rise,
Beyond all price,
To make a mark that the world can track,
For the everlasting serenity,
Without any inadequacy.
And life is about,
The amazing call
From the “viral” (sin) to the era of which, grace is seen,
About the journey to the world of light,
To stay firmed and affirmed by His word.
And life is about,
The hope we give for the world to cope,
The love we show for the world to stay above,
The peace we find for the world to get.
“Life is exploring the gift within
And not waiting.
Author note:
Life is never about being right, but letting righteousness find its way in us”.

EVERYDAYJESUS clears contradictions! (A review)

1 Comment

Let’s study a bit

Take what we have known and put them in perspective of the whole bible and see what we find…

Let’s start from the beginning.

And when I say ‘beginning’ I mean Genesis.

Let’s start from ‘Moses’

There are thoughts which should have come to your mind if you read the bible and if they haven’t, let me bring them.

Moses was born in Exodus 2.

But he wrote the book of Genesis?

You would be careful in reading the things that he wrote happened before Abraham and especially before NOAH.

Then we think most of the things he wrote were by inspiration and he wrote to his understanding… We believe Moses wrote Genesis to Deuteronomy but I saw Deuteronomy 34:5-6  
5 …Moses the servant of the Lord died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the Lord. 

  1. And he buried him in a valley in the land of Moab…

Was that by inspiration too? 

The only explanation is that someone else wrote that Book. But then, studies in the Old Testament show us that other parts of the Torah or Pentateuch are stylistically inconsistent. For example, have you noticed that there are two creation accounts? And they are not like the accounts of the gospels. The gospels as you know, even with differences, often say the same thing. So while in Mark, Jesus could do no mighty works in a certain place, in Matthew Jesus could also do no mighty works in the same place.  
But in Genesis, we see God makes male and female in Chapter 1 but makes a male alone at first in Chapter 2 before a woman. Jesus even quotes this passage Matthew 19 and Mark 10. If Moses was operating under inspiration, would the inspirer contradict himself or would Moses, writing, not notice his own inconsistencies?  

Yet for me the most compelling proof against the authorship of Moses is the fact that the Pentateuch is written in Third person. Why would I refer to myself in third person when writing about myself?  

Other examples can be found in Amos, Hosea and Isaiah (amongst others) of prophets whose ministry was documented by other people. It doesn’t reduce the authenticity or audacity of the books or the prophets. Ezekiel is the only Major Prophet that wrote by himself, and it can be seen in his style. He writes in first person perspective. It’s very simple.  

Now, a lot of Christians believe the curse at the end of Revelation will apply to them if they dare think through scripture like this. So they’d rather let some pastor take the blame while they blindly follow him. It’s OK…  

However, the curse in Revelation can only apply to the book of Revelation since the Bible was not compiled by then. With knowledge like this, we can better understand the anachronisms and variations in the Pentateuch.   

In Mark 5, Jesus says Moses was talking about him; that is to say, Moses is reported as saying things which actually were about him, Jesus.   

Study for yourself… Dig into the Old Testament… Because EVERDAYJESUS is our clarity too.

EVERYDAYJESUS’ Eagle story (the original full story)!

Leave a comment

Whew, writing a project on my topic, under my supervisor, with my exact mix of colleagues, in my department, in my school, as me, just to get awarded with the very same degree that I am working for, is one of the hugest things ever in my little white eyes. C’mon, I was to collect some human breast milk samples from African Nigerian ‘woman beings’, and do some technical nonsense on them, my God!
Every single material I needed for the technical nonsense was ready but every single ‘maternity’ help- as in milk donor ran into thickets, leaving me behind with just promises only good enough for me to pass the far spent time with.
Every day, as the bomb ticking time made me uneasy, Jesus told me the family story of the Eagle, and the truths in it kept me alive in the lonely, scary, hand- tied moments, that could make a supervisor such as mine to lose faith in you. ‘The Eagle story’ however became ‘My Story’ because I soon discovered that the story gave me a starting point for carrying out my project ‘Eagle style’.
Soon my entire work was done in roughly fourteen days and was ready too for final assessment preceding defense just like the rest of the students. Mouths started wagging (I guess), because at least one girl’s mouth in my group murmured out loud (MOL), and I heard it. Surprisingly, I found myself saddened by the girl’s ‘MOL’ especially when I remembered the sequel of other sad things that my supervisor put me through that same day, prior to the ‘MOL’. In fact she said that she did not see any reason why some people have their project ready in two weeks whereas every other person was still struggling to be done after two months. I knew she was referring to me because she said that just immediately after asking me if I was done- with a generous dose of all the sarcasm a woman her age can muster.
That night, while I ruminated over the events of the day, the Lord brought to my remembrance that story that kept me, and instructed me to give the news flashes of it to anyone who confronted me with a mouth that chooses to ‘MOL’ all day long
The Eagle and the rest faced the very same hostile air current. The rest beat the air with all her might and was rewarded with a mouthful of balance just good enough to take her best to the height of a great iroko tree. The Eagle on the other hand, spread her wings with that effortless swagger that can sweep Cleopatra off her feet. Soon, her wings spoilt her to a bounteous treat of a flight that mounted her
gracefully on a cliff miles higher than the highest point on Everest’s hill. There, she made her nest, sat in peace to at least relax with the thought of a piece of meat.
This is the difference between the races and medals of they that trust in the Lord, and that of they that trust in human efforts.
“Do you not know”?
“Have you not heard”?
“The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and His understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint”. –ISAIAH 40: 28-31 (NIV).

EVERYDAYJESUS is our Translation! (A review)

Leave a comment

Hebrews 1:1-2 says something that we will now focus on.
Hebrews 1:1
“God, who at sundry times and in diverse manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
1:2 hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;”
We can see in those statements that over time there was a change in the mode of communication so to speak of God. Not because God changed, God does not change but because revelation knowledge came progressively. That means more light of the person of God came with time.
It says God spoke to the fathers by the prophets long ago. But in the latter times he has spoken by (his) Son.
One thing you should note is the verb used.
GOD HAS SPOKEN!
God has spoken and how did he speak?
He spoke unto us by (his) Son.
The word (his) is in italics. If you take it out it says “he has spoken unto us BY SON.”
There is a perspective that needs to be seen that seems to hide in KJV. Some translations showed it. God spoke through the prophets. They were mouthpieces. Jesus was not a prophet. He was not a mouthpiece. He was who was spoken about by the prophets. In the prophets God was speaking a Son.
So some translations render “by” as “in”
Amplified does. Darby translation does.
Hebrew 1:2 (DARBY)
“At the end of these days has spoken to us in [the person of the] Son, whom he has established heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds…”
It says he has spoken to us IN SON. In the person of the Son.
What is the point?
Every time God spoke the thought he was communicating was Jesus. Even in the law. Paul will tell you the law was our schoolmaster to lead us to Christ.
If i send people to tell you about someone. I kept sending many people and they were telling about the same person. Then one day the person comes. You will say “oh, finally! He is here”. You should not say
‘Who have you come to speak about?’
If he speaks about someone else then the speaking continues. But when that person comes and speaks it will have to be about himself.
Please stay with me. We will use the things we are establishing all through. John used a word to talk about him in John 1:1. He used the word “logos”; Logos is the idea you communicate in speech. It is the thought that is communicated in language. So you can call it the reason behind a speaking. Everyone, whether wise or foolish has something in their mind that was the reason why they opened their mouths to speak. That reason is the idea the word logos communicates. I know there is a popular understanding of logos and rhema. We’ll clear them.
‘Rhema’ is the words you use to communicate logos. When Jesus said man shall live by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God, the word used was ‘rhema’. Rhema is the articulated expression of a thought. When the New Testament refers to what was written, that is the scriptures it uses the word ‘graphe’. Just follow me it will get clearer as we go. Like I said, there is a popular understanding.
I’ll give you proofs of what I am saying and I hope they are enough but let’s put on our thinking caps and think about ‘logos’ being the written word.
The written word will be the bible in that case so let’s think. John 1:1 says in the beginning was the word, and the word was with God and the word was God. If logos is the written word then you can put it like this:
“In the beginning was the written word, and the written word was with God and the written word was God”
Or you can put bible in place of written word
Then we can pat ourselves and call ourselves idol worshippers of a book. Jesus used ‘rhema’ for when he said every WORD from the mouth of God and he was referring to the scriptures. All the speaking through all the mouthpieces that communicated the logos of God in all the sundry times and all the diverse manners as we see in Hebrews 1:1. The word translated as word in John 1 is ‘logos’. It’s like this:
“In the beginning was the logos, and the logos was with God and the logos was God”
Logos is thought, plan, idea. Let’s substitute in John 1:1
“In the beginning was the thought, the thought was with God, the thought was God.”
Down to v14 it is:
“And the thought, plan, was made flesh…”
In the beginning God had a plan, a thought, and a will for man. The thought was with God (of course. Your thought is yours). The thought was God. God thought God. God planned God. So Isaiah will speak of IMMANUEL— God with us. God planned God with us. The word became flesh and dwelt among us and he was called the Son of God.
It is such abysmal ignorance that makes Jehovah’s Weaknesses call Jesus an angel because God planned God in man: Immanuel. I’ll show you the words in the Greek.
1: λόγος
(Strong’s #3056 — Noun Masculine — logos — log’-os)
Denotes (I) “the expression of thought,” not the mere name of an object, (a) as embodying a conception or idea,
2: ῥῆμα
(Strong’s #4487 — Noun Neuter — rhema — hray’-mah)
Denotes “that which is spoken, what is uttered in speech or writing;” in the singular, “a word,”
Apart from the words used in the Greek we have a bible understanding. Jesus is the thought of God. That is why we can study types and shadows and say they all pointed to Jesus. He is the reason for the speaking.
How?
Through the incarnation in the Virgin Mary. John 1:14 says the word WAS MADE flesh: He was not always flesh? He never said that!
How can God say who will go when the prophecy said he shall be called Immanuel? God with us.
The position was not open to everyone.
The writer of Hebrews explains that it was not offered to angels.
Hebrews 1:4
“Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. 1:5, for unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?”
Apart from the words used in the Greek we have a bible understanding. Jesus is the thought of God. That is why we can study types and shadows and say they all pointed to Jesus. He is the reason for the speaking.
The logos talks about the plan of God. The plan was spoken through the prophets in many dispensations. The words used to communicate the thought is the ‘rhema’. We have studied and seen that Gen 1:26 “let us make man in our image” was a speaking of the plan of God. We can say it was the ‘rhema’ of the logos. When Jesus came he talked about himself.
You need to really correct your idea of pride as blowing of your own trumpet. Pride is to not agree with God. It is to not be submissive to God. Jesus “blew his own trumpet” so to speak. If he didn’t he would have been proud.
Why?
He is the trumpet of God!
When he said “I am the way, the truth and the life” he was pointing all to himself.
Not doing that would have been pride.
If he were to have said: “I am the way but I can’t tell people because I don’t want to blow my own trumpet” then it would have been pride on his part. He spoke about himself. That was humility on his part. Because his words were the words God said about him. Now to you: the word of God says you are holy and without blame in God’s sight (Col 1:22).
If you say you are not holy then you are proud.
The word of God calls you a saint. If you say you are not a saint then you are proud.
1Cor 1:2
The bible reveals you are righteous.
(2Corinthians 5:21, Ephesians 4:24)
If you say you are not then you are proud.
So Jesus will say “I and the Father are one”. They’ll pick up stones to throw at him for claiming equality with God but he will not change his confession. He will later be framed and crucified for it and he will quietly die, choosing death over speaking a single word that will contradict the truth of God no matter who it pisses off.
We’ve done all this to explain Hebrews 1:2.
From the time Jesus was born till now no other prophet was sent to Israel. Jesus called John the last prophet. After John came the heralding of the kingdom.
No other prophet will be sent from God to foretell the coming of Jesus. Why?
He has already come.
GOD HAS SPOKEN IN HIS SON.
So don’t expect a ‘new word’ from the Lord.
We’ll get a little technical now. God spoke through the prophets. Then he spoke in his Son.
He told all that witnessed the transfiguration scene: the disciples and the prophets to hear the Son. This will show us that any time there is a disagreement in what any prophet said and anything we learn in Jesus we will take the revelation of Jesus as higher than theirs.
(New Living Translation)
Matthew 19:8:
Jesus replied, “Moses permitted divorce only as a concession to your hard hearts, but it was not what God had originally intended.”
We have studied and seen that what the prophets spoke was not understood until Jesus came and explained them. He the Holy Ghost who inspired the prophets to speak to us and Paul who never heard him teach did the same thing he did. He explained the scriptures. Paul explained things Jesus told them he could not say to them because they could not bear them. The prophets who spoke did not even understand what they spoke.
1Peter 1:10-10:10
AMP: The prophets, who prophesied of the grace (divine blessing) which was intended for you, searched and inquired earnestly about this salvation.
11
AMP: They sought [to find out] to whom or when this was to come which the Spirit of Christ working within them was indicating when He predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories that should follow [them].
12
AMP: It was then disclosed to them that the services they were rendering were not meant for themselves and their period of time, but for you.”
It was revealed to them that whatever they said was not for their time, said Peter. Let’s see Paul:
This is Ephesians 3
Ephesians 3:2-4 NLT
“As I briefly wrote earlier, God
Himself revealed his mysterious plan to
me. As you read what I have written, you
will understand my insight into this plan
regarding Christ. God did not reveal it to
previous generations, but now by his Spirit
he has revealed it to his holy apostles and
Prophets.”
He said it was not revealed to previous generations. So the prophets did not know what they said. They spoke without revelation.
Hear Paul teach the Corinthians the same thing
1 Corinthians 2:7
“But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:
2:8. Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
2:9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
2:10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.”
Just like he taught the Ephesians he said it was hidden. Nobody knew it. Eyes did not see, ears did not hear, minds did not understand. No one understood what God planned for us.
It was a mystery.
It was mysterious to them.
Is it still a mystery?
No.
He said God has revealed the mystery to us (the apostles, the church) by his Spirit.
Now here is where our study lies.
The next verse says something that we have to understand. And it’s why no one understood, not even the prophets.
1 Corinthians 2:11
“For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? Even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.”
That explains why the prophets did not understand. No one can understand the things of God except one with his Spirit. And the prophets did not have the Spirit.
Let me explain:
Except you share a nature you cannot fully understand those with that nature. Except you are a goat you cannot fully understand goats. You can bleat like a goat but you wouldn’t know if there is some level of communication in that sound to a goat. You can watch them all day but you might never be able to truly understand why they return to eat just few seconds later after you hit them with a big stick. Maybe if you were a goat you will come to think that it is unfair to think goats are foolish for coming back to eat the yam peels after the blows they’ve received.
Goats too cannot understand man. They can’t understand why you keep chasing them from the yam. You can only study them. You will never understand them to the level of nature. Now imagine you wanted to pass a message to the goat kingdom. You are a man trying to communicate with goats. You want tell them something good you have planned for them.
How would you go about it?
You know that if you speak directly to goats they will not understand. That won’t work. Goats will only understand goats. But you are wise. Somehow you figure out a way to make certain goats experience your mind and to speak that experience in goat language. The goats you “inspire” then speak the things that you “reveal” to them from time to time.
As they speak they will from time to time try to interpret what they are saying to their fellow goats but they too are goats. They can’t “KNOW” the things of a man because only one that shares the nature of man (nature) can know the things of a man. You say what you have planned for them through their holy goats for a long time. Imagine that all you tried to tell them that what you want planned for them only you can do it. And to do it you will have to become a goat.
Imagine that all you tried to tell them was that what you planned for them only you could do it. To do it you will have to become a goat, share their nature. Then after a long time one day a goat is pregnant and claimed she did not mate with any male goat. She said the goat inside of me is a Man-Goat. His father, source is a man. Then that goat was born. What has happened is the man has expressed himself in Goatemburg (Goat kingdom).
That is not just a birth but an incarnation. The Man-goat can look at their oldest goat ever and say before you I was if the nature that sourced it existed before the goat nature was created.
Now in that Man-goat is a suitable being called a mediator. He is a cross between human nature and goat nature. This goat can understand human language and goat language alike. This is the depth of that single statement Paul made. That goat can now go ahead and take everything the holy goats said all through the years and interpret it to goats in clear goat language. When the voice said “hear ye him” it was because he has the Spirit of God so he was the one who really KNOWS/UNDERSTANDS the things of God.
The bible explains in Hebrew 1:3 that this Jesus is the brightness of God’s glory, the express image of his person. He is the image of God.
He is the flawless representation of God. He is what you see of an invisible God.
Praise God for his deep, deep wisdom.
In him dwells the fullness of the Godhead bodily. In him is all of God put in a human body. Having the Spirit of God and therefore knowing the things of God he explained them to the people. He said Moses in the law, the prophets and the Psalms spoke concerning him. He said the scriptures testify of him.
He opened their understanding to the scriptures.
Glory to God!

EVERYDAYJESUS’ worship 1 (an update)

Leave a comment

Hey, I have accepted that my opinions most times are way larger than my slight form, I know but I think I can manage with them! I am sorry that I have to shock you right now with some of my most secret thoughts. It was meant to be Mon secreto, yeah, but I like sharing tho!
So listen up,
It is weird but the thing is that I don’t find dancing so hard in church to be much of a worship- at least in my mind. For me, it is a really fun thing to do, especially when I have to get past my shy demeanor to show those siting close to me, the dance step I picked up from watching a ‘top notch video’ on HipTV. Yes I watch that sometimes. It is not like showing of my lil amateur dance steps was my plan but good dearest, it is my most subconscious reality. Maybe I am the only one seeing dancing in church as just pure fun but somehow I think other people do too, maybe just a little. Have you ever been in church when the song leader is messing up with the beats, rhythms and all, and if devil happened to be kidding with the instruments at that same time, people will be like,
‘What’s all this na, what’s this guy even doing in the choir sef’,
‘Mtchw that’s why I like churches with cool music, mtchw’,
‘See how I am just snapping in and out of the ‘holy of holies’ mtchw’.
‘If I hear say I come to this church ever again, mtchw’. Lol.
Maybe I am the only one noticing it o. If you like, say that I am the only one thinking it in my head, lol, I don’t mind tho. You know, when dances really get crazy in church I really sometimes decide to not just drift in the fun but to do it consciously as though Abba Daddy is watching me dance to Him.
These days, I even prefer to be in churches where songs are purely based on what my realities are, because I am a son of God, I mean mutant! So for me, I prefer to sing and dance to songs that a non-mutant might never understand, let alone having the courage to dance to. Maybe I’ll let you in on that la’er but right now, I am just in the mood of le’ing you know that worship for me is not when I sing or dance ‘gospel’ songs but the totality of my love affair with the King of Kings. Right now, ama le’ u take a peek into my little heart of worship.
Worship is my love affair with the King of Kings. Worship is my relationship with I AM. Worship is yielding to His voice.
Worship is having my bath twice a day at least just to impress the King of Kings.
Worship is guarding my nakedness jealously for Him because my body belongs to Him.
Worship is sleeping with a big and beautiful smile because I know that He is right there watching me sleep.
Worship is using the right cosmetics and fragrance to be properly groomed for Him alone.
Worship is eating and exercising right just to keep His temple strong and fit.
Worship is taking care of my hair and skin for Him alone- He knows my every detail including the number of hairs on my head.
Worship is dressing soft, gentle and feminine; for that will give Him so much pleasure.
Worship is walking tall and gentle- I am His princess.
Worship is my chastity and purity, for His name is Jealous.
Worship is being patient with Him in my waiting just because I love Him- love is patient.
Worship is my love affair with the King of Kings.
I am confident that He is not too busy to take note of the little things I do to impress Him. He loves me and I love Him too. I know that He reads those little things that I write to Him to bring smiles to His beautiful face. I am waiting for that day I will behold His beautiful face. I know the contagious radiance of His presence. I bask in His love and presence.
“But the hour is coming and now is when the true worshippers will worship the father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. “ God is Spirit and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”- John 4:23-24 (NKJV).
Therefore, I urge you, brothers in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God –this is your spiritual act of worship. –Romans 12:1 (NIV).
And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him.
Hebrew 11: 6. (NIV).

The Eagle and the rest faced the very same
Hostile air current. The rest beat the air with all
Her might and was rewarded with a mouthful of
Balance just good enough to take her best to
The height of a great iroko tree. The Eagle on
The other hand, spread her wings with that
Effortless swagger that can sweep Cleopatra
Off her feet. Soon, her wings spoilt her to a
Bounteous treat of a flight that mounted her
Gracefully on a cliff miles higher than the
Highest point on Everest’s hill. There, she made
Her nest, sat in peace to at least relax with the
Thought of a piece of meat.
This is the difference between the races and
Medals of they that trust in the Lord, and that
of they that trust in human efforts.
“Do you not know”?
“Have you not heard”?
“The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of
The ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or
Weary, and His understanding no one can
Fathom. He gives strength to the weary and
Increases the power of the weak. Even youths
Grow tired and weary, and young men stumble
And fall; but those who hope in the Lord will
Renew their strength. They will soar on wings
Like eagles; they will run and not grow weary,
They will walk and not be faint”. –ISAIAH 40:
28-31 (NIV).
=========================
Please oh…not really. I believe the lesson is that Jesus did all the work needed to get us righteous. However, there are works prepared for us to do in him, Like Evangelism. But because of Christ in us, we are empowered to do all these. Don’t think because you’re a Christian, you will beat an unbeliever at anything. God gave us Jesus for eternal life, and fellowship with him.
But as long as the earth remains, you gotta do what you gotta do. Don’t miss apply the gift of God and then say ‘God has a plan when you fail.’ God is God, he is glorified already. You cannot glorify him any further.
So…EVERDAYJESUS is enough inspiration.
