Divine Partnership

     It is always great to reflect on our actions and our choices in life whenever we have a time to think. Some times we blame God for our misfortunes but really He did give us time to think over our action plans. I, for one, have been working to partner with God over my life. I sometimes subconsciously forget that am in partnership and make decisions without consulting Him first. Afterall am the one that will live with the consequences of my choices, so i think i know whats best for me.I forget my sight is dim and shallow while my partner hears all things, sees all things and knows all things.
     Now family believe when i tell you that i begin serious prayers when the going gets stuff. When the situation persist even harder i begin to question God. The worst of it sometimes is I tempt God. I get on my knees and begin to quote His words to him "Why did you let this happen to me when you promised me in your word that you will never leave me nor forsake  me?" "Lord i thought You glory in your word above your name." " Jesus! but you promised to leave the holy spirit, the comforter with so tell me why i feel all alone?" Do you remember someone who did this in the bible? Satan! while tempting Jesus. (If you are truly the son of God jump down for the bible said he would give angels charge over you...). May the lord have mercy on me!
     You can not partner with God and fail. I was talking with a guy at some point and i really liked him but you know why we stopped talking...better yet one of the reasons we stopped talking. His pastor had not given him the release to date someone at the moment. Every manner of thought ran through my mind about him to say the least. But when he explained why he took heed to him i could not blame him. He said a lot of things have happened in his life that if not for the leading of the holy spirit through his pastor he would not be where he is in life today (trust me when i tell you he is in a good place) and the few times he was stubborn to heed, he paid for it. Its almost like he runs everything by his pastor and his opinion counts heavily to him even more than his earthly parents (could be scary but hey it works for him). Not that i advise you do the same.
Thats how we should be with God though. Every breath that we take, every moment we are out it must be his way only. Like go read about this man that partnered with God, Abraham. He was so prosperous that his servants were enough to fight a victorious battle against a whole nation. God fought battles for him.  He did not have a servant- master relationship with God. God called him, His friend. Thats the greatest achievement in life if you ask me.
     Back to partnering with God, We start with the little prayers everyday, the little heart to heart talk while driving to work; the 10 minute bible devotion; the one minute speaking in tongues. The 10 seconds  to say God I love you and appreciate you in my life. A consistent lifestyle  POL (praying out loud; praising out loud). Any moment to spend with him is a great moment.
     My time is up but i would leave you with this: "God will do this, for he is faithful to do what he says, and he has invited you into partnership with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord  (I corinthians 1:9)." And like they say at Household of faith- have a blessed week and a great tomorrow!

Scars are Marks of Healing

Ever had a deep cut before? Blood gush out as if your red blood cells opened a tap for blood to be wasted away. Its hurts. You feel pain but then slowly with time the blood stops trickling down. You still fell hurt. Some tissues begin to build a cover up; scar tissues. If you try to peel it off blood will flow out again. So you let it be for a while. Then one day you realize it doesn't hurt anymore but the scar remains.


Deep wounds heal but they would leave a scar. Thats how tragedies and life pains are to us. They seem like they would never go away and then suddenly God calms the storm. Everything begins to fall in place yet the scar remain. The scars are not their to re-inflict pain. They are there to remind us of how far God has brought us from. They are there to remind us that we may be bruised again but there is a ray of hope. They remind us of our painful little beginnings. Don't despise them. They are marks of healing, hope and God's love that covers all things.


So next time you remember the wounds of the past, thank God for where He brought you from. Revisiting the pain is like peeling off a scar. It would hurt. If you are nursing a deep cut now remember Malachi 4:2 ("But for you who fear My name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings; and you will go forth and skip about like calves from the stall"). Peace of the Lord be unto you!


Say this Prayer: Jehovah Rapha, the God who heals! I thank because You are the God that is able to erase every pain. I want You to rise with healing in Your wings and speak peace to every storm in my life, nurse my pain away and give me Your peace that overshadows all human comprehension. Amen

All I need is U

This was composed as spoken words but i never got to do it. Be blessed:

• O Lord! how manifold are your works. In wisdom you have made them all. The earth is full of your possessions. 
• This day we leave our fears at your feet and we gird ourselves with the royal garment of praise
• Remind us today to be strong and be of good courage. To not be afraid, nor dismayed for U, O Lord, are with us wherever we go
• God! we want to hear, we want to feel again the father's love.  Your Love, let it draw us near
• For every burdened heart, let your love, your spirit cause to sing. Let your joy lead for we know that all our soul desires is U.
• Lord let the ceiling we are trying to breakthrough this day be the floor of a new dawn, a different level, a greater harvest, a deeper dimension, a stronger relationship with U.
• Let your lovingkindness and truth continually preserve us
• Many O Lord are your wonderful work which U have done; and your thoughts towards us we can not recount in order...

Amen (Selah)
