WEEKEND SPECIAL


For this weekend, I have so many to discuss with you as a family but since we can't discuss everything right now, I suggest we tackle it little by little.

The world is moving and gradually the impact technology is having on the world is very great. It amazes me when I see or hear countries investing in weapons whiles their citizens lack water and other social amenities. Presidents of some countries are now investing in weapons to get themselves prepared in times of war etc.

Let me tell you something. This is a secret most presidents of today don't know. There is one powerful weapon which is not hidden and has stayed since creation but is not used up till now. The weapon am talking of is PRAYER. Yes, I mean PRAYER. It is the greatest most effective weapon ever to be discovered by man.

All you need to do to use this weapon is to go down on your knees and say a word or two to your heavenly father. With prayer, you don't need to be running in the sun carrying AK 47, nuclear weapons,armoured tanks, bombs etc. All you need to do is to stay in your room and by the time you come out, all is settled. The only weapon that can use thunder, lightening, just call it.

Do you remember the letter King Hezikiah received? Read Issiah 37 downwards and pay attention to the verse 14 to 20. Hezikiah did not go about buying guns etc upon receiving the letter. He prayed. My brother, sister, mom, dad and friend, Hezikiah prayed and laid it before the Lord. And what did was the message from God? Read Issiah 37 verse 35.

What is your problem in life? Are you fighting with poverty, marriage,drinking habit, disappointment etc and what is the weapon you are using to tackle it? Are you using sadness, tears, walking and talking to everyone about it or pain? Please stop and use the weapon of prayer. I mean sincere and effective prayer. Its free. You don't buy it, no user manual to read before use and yeild fast results. Get up, go down on your knees, cry unto the Lord, tell Him your enemy or whatever is at war with you through prayer. Whether we like it or not, as christians we can't use guns and knives. All we have as our weapon is prayer. There are so many examples we can use in the Bible but let your life be an example to others whiles you are on earth.

Happy blessed weekend to you all.

LIFE DURING EASTER


The easter break was not hectic but it was full of blessings. Throughout the break, I listened to only one song and I know you already know it. The special "when its all been said and done" by Don Moen. Actually I have heard this song over some number of times but let me confess that listening to this song during the easter break was something new.

I was completely broken down. Thoughts started to run through my mind. I was completely carried away. There is a time when all shall surely be said and done in our lives. When we lie in our caskets with our hands on our chest, definately all we need to say have been said and done with respect to life. When we stop working in a company and move to a different one, all have been said and done with that company. What we did during life on earth or during our time in that company is what I mean by when all has been said and done.

The question is not how much you saved in your bank account during your life on earth neither is it how many cars you drove whiles on earth. All the treasures will be nothing. All that we have toiled for in the sun etc thinking we are doing something will be regarded as null and void. Acomplete waste of time.

Let us ask ourselves whether we have done our best to live for truth as the song says because that is the thing that matters and more importantly whether we have lived our lives for God. I listened to this song whiles asleep, studying, talking, washing etc and later it sounded like a voice talking to me instead of a song.

Its time we pray to God to teach us, tell us and define for us our duty on earth. As it is in life, if you really know what to learn, you don't waste precious time learning things that are "unecessary" during exams. So is it with Christianity. Know what is expected of us by God as christians and we don't waste time doing what may please man.

When all is said and done, there is just one thing that matters.
Did I do my best to live for truth, did I live my life for you(God).


Welcome back from the easter break.

WHEN IT'S ALL BEEN SAID AND DONE


This is one of the tracks from Don Moen and I must admit I love this song very much. You might have listened to it many times but I don't know how you feel afterwards.
The words go like this;

When its all been said and done
There is just one thing that matters
Did I do my best to live for truth
Did I live my life for you

When its all been said and done
All my treasures will mean nothing
Only what I've done for loves reward
Will stand the test of time

Lord your mercies is so great
That you look beyond our weakness
And find purest gold in miry clay
Turning sinners into saints

I will always sing your praise
Here on earth and ever after
For you've shown me heaven is my true home
When its all been said and done
You are my life when life is gone.

CLICK HERE TO LISTEN AND LETS WORSHIP TOGETHER

HAPPY EASTER TO YOU ALL. OUR JESUS CHRIST IS RISEN FROM THE DEAD. OUR SINS HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE CROSS, GIVING US HOPE AND BRIDGING THE GAP BETWEEN US AND GOD.
WHEN ITS ALL BEEN SAID AND DONE, THERE IS JUST ONE THING THAT MATTERS, DID WE DO OUR BEST TO LIVE FOR TRUTH AND DID WE LIVE OUR LIFE FOR GOD?
