A Birthday Though

This is the day that the Lord has made let us rejoice and be Glad in it!

This day, is another day, but like every day it is far from ordinary.

The night, blackness, with its quiet velvet resolve, wipes the slate clean, and the rising of the sun breathes, and illuminates a spotless, fresh day bathed in rays of light dancing as they filter through leaves, winking on the morning dew. The crisp light, clean, fresh and pure, ushered in by bird song, plays with the day coaxing it awake from its slumber, eyes open, day breaks. Sun rises. The warmth of life pours down, a waterfall of reminiscence of things done, eagerness still of bursting forth.

Each day begins as a new page, a blank page, that you can write whatever you want in your life. The page of today! It has no constraints on it. It is completely blank. Its up to you what you want to write in it.

God breathed His breath in me and I awoke a living soul. Purposed with destiny in me, and ability created in me! I arrived with purpose already given to me. It was purpose that indicated my arrival. In the mind of God I was created to accomplish it. He moved to form because He saw a need, a need that had to be fulfilled. He needed a man who would stand, move and live in Him.

This day I want to renew purpose. Resolve to fulfil the deep thing that lies within me, placed there by the God of creation. This same purpose has been placed in all of us. It is the first thing that was "born" in us. Purpose! It what defines us, its what moulds us and ultimately what completes us. God in us the hope of Glory!

We cannot be who we are created to be if we are not aware of our purpose.
We cannot fulfil who we are if we do not awaken to purpose
We don’t know who we are if we don’t know what our purpose is
We cannot know our purpose if we don’t know God, because He is the author of it

God the great architect, knows our design as David said is Psalms "You know when I sit down or stand up. You know my every thought when far away. You chart the path ahead of me and tell me where to stop and rest. Every moment you know where I am. You know what I am going to say even before I say it, LORD. You both precede and follow me. You place your hand of blessing on my head. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too great for me to know!”

How excellently he describes the Lord in our life and yet he continues: “You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother's womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvellous--and how well I know it. You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb. You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed. How precious are your thoughts about me, O God! They are innumerable!
I can't even count them; they outnumber the grains of sand! And when I wake up in the morning, you are still with me!”

How excellent is your name O Lord!

Today is the first day of the rest of your life. A new day. A day you have never seen before! What will you make of it? What will YOU do with it.?
What will you write on your blank page?
Start writing!

Crowded Tains

I try to read my bible every morning on the train, when I get a seat. Sometimes I feel like a sardine in a can. The train is really packed and I cant even move, so I listen to my I-pod. Good Praise and Worship music makes the train ride less cumbersome.
When I do get a seat, I open my bible, sometimes times people who sit next to me look over and see what I'm reading, a few read over my shoulder. People usually reading over my shoulder slightly annoy me, but when I'm reading my bible I feel joy that, Lord willing something they read will let their heart be open to the prompting of the Lord. In all things let God be praised

Sunday

The presence of the Lord was surely in this place! We had a great service and people really experienced the presence of the Lord! There was a testimony of healing, God had restored a man to full health after he suffered a stroke. He was in the church praising God, in full health less than a week of coming out of the hospital. God is really an awesome God.

Morning Prayer

Morning Manna this morning at the church was great. There was such a presence of the Lord in the house. A word of prophecy was uttered and a prayer for families was ushered up.
The Lord is very concerned with relationships and paramount in this, is the relationships in a family. A family unit was instituted by God and a good father is a type of the heavenly father.
We must continue praying for families and not just our own. When our own family is strong then our church family is strong, and when the church family is not strong neither is our own family!

The Lord is preparing His bride for a great wedding, let us adorn ourselves with the garment of praise and put a new song on our lips for the ceremony is close at hand. Will we be that spotless bride?

Can we sing?

It is not hard to sing, but sometimes it can be hard to worship. When situations around us don't reflect our moods we find it hard to extract our self, to think externally. When we are not in a place to produce happiness can we still worship? The children of Israel had a similar question:


By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion, We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof. For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us [required of us] mirth, [saying], Sing us [one] of the songs of Zion. How shall we sing the LORD'S song in a strange land? (Psalm 137:1-4)


How can we sing when we find ourselves in this place of distress and pain? How do we make a joyful noise? What I have learnt is that even when I am down, when there is pain around, distress around if I can give God the Praise, my focus starts to move from a place of self to the knowledge that there is one who can come in and deliver me. When I sing of my great and awesome God, my heart begins to soar, my body may still be in the same situation but my spirit is in the Lord, And sooner rather than later my mood must follow for it has to align itsself with my Spirit.

I love to worship, I love to sing of the greatness of my God for He has done so very much for me. I could sing of your love forever!

So rather than ask myself "can I sing?" I will concur with King David and say
"I WILL bless the Lord at all times!"

I will praise him! My feelings have nothing to do with the desire of my heart, in fact my feelings must follow my spirit. I will soar with my God, above the storm, above the trials. When thunder roars and the lighting flashes, when seas rise and the land quakes. Under his mighty wings I will fly, I find rest for my soul, my heart is found in Him, and in His arms I am at peace.

I will praise HIM!
