Free In Him

I lay my sins on Jesus
The spotless Lamb of God
He bears them all and frees me
From the accursed load
I bring my guilt to Jesus
To wash my crimson stains
White in His blood most precious

I lay my grief on Jesus
My burdens and all my cares
He from them all releases
He all my sorrows shares


I lay my wants on Jesus
All fullness dwells in Him
He heals all my disease
He doth my soul redeem

Meek, loving ,lowly mild
The father’s holy child
Amid the heavenly throne
Brother and Friend
King and Servant
Redeeming Saviour

Arise and Shine

Battles must be waged daily against most relentless foes. Delayed buses and trains, bad weather, annoying colleagues at work…the list goes on but this doesn’t mean we are to drain ourselves.
Giving up in an effort to be positive is not an option, if anything it demands for courage, determination, ceaseless vigilance and undaunted hope.
This is naturally of course easily said than done and a motivating factor would be the knowledge that shining in the midst of darkness wins us victory and eventually happiness.
Someone has said “You don’t get experience till after you need it” but in this case I can refute it as I have acknowledged that I already come from a position of victory and try my best not to allow dilemma intimidate me. This sounds arrogant but perhaps to throw more light it is more with faith that this attitude is taken; faith in the knowledge that God almighty is with us and we have a hedge of protection around us. Being in such a confident position obviously opens doors for conflict and spiritual warfare and this is the reason we should stand and wage unceasing war giving good for bad.

At my work place is a daily challenging situation in the name of an elderly colleague who likes to act like everything rotates around her or better still that she is some kind of all knowing mini god. Words can’t describe how hard it is to as much as get on with her and instead of letting her steal my joy each morning I have retaliated by being meek.
Not very easy but it has worked for me after all we spend half our life times at work so why let one woman spoil it .And trust me my acting the fool has melted her revealing a new tender side of this lady. To make it even better other people have adapted my style and the work environment is a merrier place to be.
This whole experience has been very humbling and above all taught me that when we take offence we block our blessings.
Think about it focussing on the negative will keep me in one position as I will be stranded thinking to and around the offence where I could have done uplifting things for a smoother sailing. So there goes let's keep above the negative.

Young At Heart.

Just been out for a youth meeting in my church-well youth is a broad way of putting it as it is basically a teenage meeting and well as I got there I couldn’t help but feel decades old. However, I just want to thank God for the person who came up with the saying, “age is just a number.” Well it made special meaning in my life as lost in a crowd of teenagers God let me know I can still be young at heart without letting a number that symbolises my years on earth come in the way of praising him. These particular youth meeting goes by the name wildlife and when I first got there I was like well this is indeed wild and especially wild for the Lord Jesus. I am thankful Lord Jesus that there are people in the younger generation who are standing for you and more grateful Lord that you are using them just as you do anyone who lets you. Thank you Lord that you used these kids to reveal you to me tonight.

Of Humility

Thank you Lord that you are teaching me to bite my tongue. Sometimes it is not worth it to express yourself especially if you are not going to build any bridges.
Am particularly thinking about my work situation, I go in there with the best attitude but one of my colleagues seems so negative and determined to put me down. Every time he opens his mouth it is to discourage, lament or whine and naturally I feel like I should give him a piece of my mind. However Lord you have humbled me and challenged me to just respond to this individual through use of positive actions. Its not really helping as the person is picking on me despite my good acts but the holy spirit is teaching me not to get involved in such a worthless battle. I thank you Lord that in such times you fight for us and teach us to be the light. Thank you Lord that you are teaching me to be a fool for You.

Now there's a Thought!

Uh been keeping away from the cyber world of constant messages and postings and exploring the more conservative way of keeping in touch or better still in this day and age called keeping away.
And what an eventful week it has been,read as non happening.

For starters been getting all these calls and voicemails that I couldn’t read nor listen to,to keep track of the persevering callers and by the time I got round to see what they were on about I was called all kinds of formidable things and all in the name of having a quiet week.

My greatest joy during this time has been the money I saved in the name of the air credit I would have used to talk small nothings and exchange messages;as it is personal things like making visits don’t count for much anymore.

On the downside I missed a friend’s farewell and bridal shower. As you have guessed they were not about to send anything in the post and now that I think think about it non of my girlfriends at this shower even have an address to send a card to. All this has been replaed by you know what.

Also did I tell you that my keeping away from the IT era for just 8days was treated suspiciously…people were wondering did I have debts ….who was I hiding from and the list goes on.

On a random night out a guy asked me for my number and it got me thinking how it was done back in the days. Did these men pursue potential partners by following them home? Did the ladies unleash all their details in the moment and take chances on this being their prince charming? Uh such comparisons made me appreciate the communication options we are blessed with now.

On the downside I realised I have been spending a lot of time in front of a computer in the name of social networking and limiting myself to the IT options of keeping in touch and forgotten there are other fun things of doing thing.This experience has revealed to me that there must be a balance and anything with some kind of physical activity definitely adds essence.
