The Answer.

God is looking to be God in our lives, question is are we looking for Him to be Lord of ours, and if so what are we doing about it???

It honestly doesn’t take much considering that a relationship with Him is purely based on love and grace oh yeah and faith, a hard one for most especially when we bring in realism. After all for most of our dreams and aspirations to move from the mist of the night into the light of the day, His light we must surrender totally to God.

So what does it take for us to respond to His love, nothing. Simply to love him back for after all we love Him because he first loved us. God is our Initiator so we are at our best when we are responding to Him. If only it was that easy cause it is one thing to say I accept you as my Lord and saviour and another to do the walk, putting Him before our everything and making Him our everything.

If it is any consolation the whole of our Christian life is a response…but to what exactly do we or to who do we respond to? That is the challenge; I guess that is where God comes in and not just but with love, grace, mercy and what ever else goes to make sure that we don’t lose track in our journey. His hand is truly on us even when we least expect it or even deserve it.

If only like Joshua we can proclaim and declare that we will dwell in His house all the days of our lives, then He will truly be Lord of our lives. If we simply saturate ourselves with worship and prayer then He will transform our lives. I have been here too long and it hasn’t always been clear but I have learnt that if I simply do my part which half of the time isn’t, follow His lead through His word, He will not only meet me half way but see me to the end. The result a happy me, at least for now.Praise His Holy name.

We Will Remember

Last week I visited the Slave trade museum in Liverpool, North West of England. I’m well versed with the slave trade story, having not only done a history paper in this subject but also watched the movie Roots a couple of times. However there was something so raw about the museum experience that brought it home. We are privileged to be where are and to have this level of acceptance. We have lived to see a black man become the head of one of the worlds if not the greatest superpower nation. The slaves and the men of honour who fought for where we are could only dream of such a day. Their hard work is not forgotten and here is a thank you note that they endured the good fight.







There was no bill to discuss
You were lured with gifts
With dreams for a better life.
Out of your own will you were
taken off to the so called greener pastures.
They didn’t ask how you felt but were quick to
Fill their boats, all the chiefs and the traders cared about was
The deal, and once on the water came the seal to bind you
Freedom was but all gone
But you didn’t give up
You swallowed the pill and did what you had to do
To not only stay alive but to keep the fire burning
Till a way was made,because of the stories carried by you from generation
To generation
We are here today
Because of the good fight you kept up.
We are free today
We Owe you big.
Thanks
We will always Remember.
