Bring me to the Rock, who is higher...

Its been some time since I blogged here. I realize God reads my blog. Its true. I read my previous blog today and God has helped me to arrive at where I am today, according to the words I wrote in my previous blog. 

God, prosper that which I lay my hands on. Bring my success to completion. Bring me to lean on you. Place me in the marketplace, according to your mercies. Give me the work which You have prepared for my hands in service of your saints. Bring me to the place where there is no more deceit, according to Your pleasures. Preserve my name, for it is an ointment to my soul. Keep my family in health, in unity and in communion with You. Bless the church, that saints may be added day by day. Add to me friends with vision and friends with words of encourage. I shall be above and never beneath. What pleasures do You have in Your children when they are in dire need. They shall lean on You and be strong, mighty in word and deed, a royal king, a holy priesthood.

Clean Me Up

Father, clean me up. Give me success in the things I do that I may glorify You. Use me to win this world for You. Give me a pure heart. Add to me that my heart may not be sick. Most of all, give me strength. That I may live this life for you. My life, my mouth, my storehouse.

Alone

Sometimes, the road upwards is lonely. To reach God at the top of the mountain, its required that one put people and habits away. It means to rest alone in silence. I will do it because God is the only one I need to be at peace with.

Peeling the Flesh off our Lives

Cleansing our lives is the only way to walk with God. Jesus has died and lived again for our cleansing. Cleansing! The only way to have a vessel ready to receive anointing. The substance from heaven to live the impossible. The substance of transport of life from a believer to a non believer, our families and to another believer.The only way our words can have power and words are building blocks of our lives. No great exploit in the kingdom ever started without believers talking to each other and God. Cleanse! how shall a young man cleanse his ways?

He decides to turn to God's word every time. Though he may fall in the darkness, he turns around to walk into the light, confident that God Himself will accept him and that his mercies are new every morning. Take an active step to humble ourselves. Believe in God's mercy and his unconditional love for us. He takes away our guilt and place in us the anticipation of heaven descending into our lives on earth. His faith is built up in God. He does not wallow in his own sins and its sorrow for fear of his inadequacy to approach God. Eventually, the godliness in his spirit grows and the evil rots. He lives the life God intends for him to live. For His Kingdom and for His people. To plant and to build. To pull down the strongholds of the enemy. To withstand the heat of battle. To have absolute loyalty to Him. To build the people of God. To water himself in His presence and love Him with his heart and his soul. To cleave his spirit to His, to ask and receive His forgiveness, to depend on Him with the soul. The young man chooses to fall in love in God over and over again. Life overflows of the young man and his life falls into the death of the dead and they taste of life. Words, actions and a life of life.

Manna from Heaven.

Text from Exodus 16:16 - 21

v16 "This is the thing which the LORD has commanded: 'Let every man gather it according to each one's need, one omer for each person, according to the number of persons; let every man take for those who are in his tent.' "

The word of God is true life. It decides how the world responds to us. He who has the word of God in him has true life. He shuns the works of the flesh. He receives a sweet soul. He has no fear. He knows his true source is God the Father Himself. He does not fear that man will hate him, treat him unfairly, leave him or ridicule him. His path is kept straight by the word of God.

By sweetening his soul, he draws the blessings of man and God to his being. He is secure in the protection of the LORD. His spirit is made soft and slippery, the dirt and bad things of this world will slide off his spirit. He is a magnet to the wonderful things of this earth. He is a open receiver of that Heaven has prepared for him.

The Scripture says each man needs to gather his manna for himself and his family. God is life. We were born separated from God and inherited death from Adam's legacy. Our soul tends towards the works of sin. Our spirit born empty. Man swims upstream each day to life. He makes the conscious decision to reach out to God. The Father promised not to disappoint. He who seeks Him finds Him.

Then the children of Israel did so and gathered, some more, some less.

Each child of God receives his personal share of Heaven. Yet each child bears his own responsibility to seek Life for himself. He swims upstream or his soul will be swept downstream to the Pit.

So when they measured it by omers, he who gathered much had nothing left over, and he who gathered little had no lack. Every man had gathered according to each one's need.

And Moses said, "Let no one leave any of it till morning."

Notwithstanding they did not heed Moses. But some of them left part of it until morning, and it bred worms and stank. And Moses was angry with them.

So they gathered it every morning, every man according to his need. And when the sun became hot, it melted.

Hello World

I think nobody reads this anymore. Its great for a pretty private person like me. I can finally write all that is in my heart. I want to pen down the thoughts for myself right here in my cyberspace.

Letting go and patience is a major lesson in life. It could literally mean life and death, profit and loss. A real man waits. This is not about passive waiting. If its an issue we can control, such as eradicating a sin in our lives or kicking an addiction, we can be decisive and quick to be brutal to ourselves. If it is an issue about others, faults we see in our close ones, we need to wait when all that could be done in a reasonable manner has been done.

Lose your life and you will find it. Hold on to it and it will slip through your hands like sand.
