Ready ?

 
 At 18 I cried I was dying to not be 18 . what was I going to do with my life? I mean school and all but how meaningful will my life be to anyone. I had to decide to make choices ..right ones of course. But boy I wasn't ready and 5 years down the lane I realize I'm still not ready.
Now u may think I don't have purpose or vision  but I am amongst the present day youth  who are not sure where to start from.  Today I was listening to Bishop Dag and I realised it is a good thing to not be ready.

Ready says I can , I will by all means

Not ready says .. I must learn ..I must be patient and grow into it.

So see the beautiful vision you have .. Are you really ready?

Sometimes we want to take on the world because we know technology makes things easier but it is better to get experience from those who know.

Like Peter we like to believe we are ready to go all out till the cock crows on us.  
Then we have to deal with the unexpected... It is more wisdom to prepare and avoidmistakes others have made than fall in the same ditch.
  So ask yourself
Am I ready for life?
Am I ready for love?
Am I ready for people ?

Pray about all the things you want to be ready for. After all it is The Holy Spirit that can lead us in all truth and remind us of all we have learnt  , He is our comforter and guide

You can never be totally ready but your prayer,  learning and patience with yourself to grow will take u through.
He who thinks he is standing should be careful lest he fall. 

Can you relate ?

i can relate
when that sin stares you the face
and you need to decide your fate
minutes of unbridled passion or heaven forever
i can relate
when nothing seems to work out
and you've lost the last bout
keep surviving or throw in the towel
i can relate
when no one can understand
why you frown and don't want to turn it upside down
You aren't pissed at the world
you just don't understand yourself
i can relate
when stay all day in your room
share your bed with gloom
counting down the days to when you can self-inflate
be that person you have always known you are
i can relate
when you stay on your knees
palms joined yet no words to pray
Trusting somehow He will satisfy every need
i can relate cos i have been there before
had no one to call
Save Christ Our Lord

Bad Girl?

I have been called a good girl most of my life. An angel, a Saint ,... list goes on
Today I was called a bad girl. I just smiled . What followed was that   I looked like I can dance I laughed.
So it brings my mind to the fact that I may have developed   some new skills and that I hadn't read my BIBLE yet , but does that make me bad?
Why do we classify ourselves as good or bad? Jesus did say that no one is truly good except God.
And we are encouraged  to work out our salvation  with fear and trembling.


I don't believe   I am good but I believe I am saved and I must work my way. We like sheep fell astray and the lamb died   in our place . There is none righteous no not one but we must all endeavor  to  strive for the cause that JESUS DID DIE  for us.

 Let’s   not think so highly of ourselves   or of what other people  say of us. Focus on whether God is pleased with you and whether  you know who you are in Christ and if you live accordingly .

Love the Lord your God   WITH ALL YOUR HEART, MIND AND STRENGTH .

Our Fathers

The man who bring you to life is your father. The one who pays for food and clothes and gives you a place   to lay your head. These are the father's we often see and we are to honour   them . Eph 6:1-3

Spiritual fathers . .. they are the men with an anointing we  would like to inherit . These are the men to whom the Holy  Spirit   will lead you to tap into uncommon  grace and favor.
They may be near us or far but God will create a spiritual  link which we didn't have with them initially and lead us to follow in their steps and their teachings .
Elijah was Elisha ' s father.

Then we have our heavenly  father. Matthew  6:9( Our Father who art in heaven) We cannot see or  touch Him physically.
The father we share with Jesus who makes us royalty . God the Father is the Father  of Fathers . Rom 8:15 (.... and by Him we cry Abba Father)  John 8:41 (......the only father we have is God Himself)
He is the Father from which all things derive their life. He is the creator of all that is and is to come. Deuteronomy  32:6 (....Is he not your Father your  Creator . ...)
He is the Lord of Hosts ,Alpha and Omega ,the only wise God. In need of nothing and does all in order to glorify  Himself in our  life . This is   God The Father . .. the one whom we must be in awe off .  Jesus cried out Father into thy hand I commit my spirit   , meaning   even in our deepest darkest moments   ,He is there.

You may have an earthly father, a spiritual  father  but do not  forget   your heavenly father. God is your father

Resurrection

I Have been in a dark place
I have fought the dark shadows
I have been held captive by the horror within
My soul has been broken into uncountable pieces
my nerves seared by hot coal
I  am alive and living
Yet dead and rotting
My face is blank and you can't read me
My aim exactly
So when you see me
You keep wondering
How i got here is my secret
I have looked for salvation
I have craved understanding
i have sought to be justified
But i realize that's life
Not everyone is a friend
Not everyone cares
doesn't mean they hate you
They have better things to do
So i find in my dark place how i can be rescued
A show of love deep in my tissue
from a gentle one who doesn't care my issues
A kind of man who truly loves you
A kind of man who is true
And that's what i saw when i found you
