Be POSITIVE

Gye Muli?

Reminds me of P-square's line, "....there is no positivity, all negativity"

1. If you are SINGLE and keep on saying "I DON'T TRUST MEN OR WOMEN!"remember... your mates are getting married every Saturday. Let me ask you, are they marrying spirits? Wise up!
2. If you are MARRIED and keep saying "I HATE THIS MARRIAGE!" OK! Is it not married people like you that are celebrating Gold, Silver and even Platinum jubilee? 
3. If you keep on ranting, ''I'M LEAVING MY MAN, HE CHEATED ON ME!" Please, go to town and see all the fine, cute, sexy, hot, hungry and desperate chicks waiting to snatch your man's money and property, they don't even mind sharing. Make it work, my friend! 
4. Stop saying "I HATE MY JOB!" Look! 20million people are jobless and can't even find any not to talk of keeping it! Do you want to join them? 
5. You keep saying "I HATE WHERE I LIVE!" Oh please! *tears* Try visiting those locations that are flooding now, people leaving in tin/zinc shacks in winter or people living/sleeping under the bridge at night and you will be grateful to God that you even have a place to stay! 
6. Some say "I AM TIRED OF THIS LIFE!" Well, go to the hospital and see people fighting for their lives! Go to the mortuary and take a look then tell me what you feel after that! 

The point is, be positive and believe in God, that's all that matters.
Be Blessed.

MAN’S RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD

MEETING AT MENGO HOSPITAL

MAN’S RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD

(A Sacred Romance)
25th May 2012

Bible study: Hosea (Hosea and Gomer)  


Understanding Relationship
 Definition:  Webster's New World College Dictionary defines it as "the quality or state of being
related, a continuing attachment or association between persons.“

 Which came first? Man's need for a relationship with God or
God's desire for a relationship with man?
  (the chicken or the egg?)

1John 4: 19
  We love because he first loved us.  John 3:16
  For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in
him shall not perish but have eternal life. 

God instituted this relationship with man.
He made man in His own likeness. (Gen 1:27). Man was created to be like God,
think, speak and act like Him.   Man was to have total dominion on earth
while God rules in heaven. (Psalm 115:16) 
He created man to fellowship with him.
God would come and fellowship with
Adam in the garden in the cool of the day.
(Gen 3:8)

WHAT WENT WRONG?
God Creates man in his image for fellowship
Man sins and is cast out of the Garden of Eden
Man becomes so wicked and God Contemplates destroying
all his creation 
( And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.  And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the
earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them. Gen 6:6-7 )
Noah finds favor in eyes of God for he was a righteous man (But Noah found favor in the eyes of Jehovah. These are the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, and perfect in his generations: Noah walked with God. Gen 6:8-9)
Man still forgets to keep the laws of God,  God sends Jesus to reconcile man to himself once again

NO ONE IS RIGHTEOUS 

  (Romans 3:9-20)
  “None is righteous, no, not one;
11
    no one understands;
    no one seeks for God.
12
All have turned aside; together they have become
worthless;
    no one does good,
    not even one.”
13
 “Their throat is an open grave;
    they use their tongues to deceive.”
“The venom of asps is under their lips.”
14
     “Their mouth is full of curses and bitterness.”
15
 “Their feet are swift to shed blood;
16
    in their paths are ruin and misery,
17
and the way of peace they have not known.”
18
     “There is no fear of God before their eyes.”
  …..20
For by works of the law no human being will be justified
in his sight, since through the law comes knowledge of sin.

Because if thou shalt confess with thy mouth Jesus as Lord, and shalt believe in thy heart
that God raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved,  for with the heart man
believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Romans 10:9-10 (ASV)

But as many as received him, to them gave he the right to become children of God, even
to them that believe on his name: John 1:12(ASV)

"I will walk among you and be your God, and you shall be My people" (Leviticus
26:12)

The LORD your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. 
He will take great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you, 
but will rejoice over you with singing.” (Zephaniah 3:17)

I have seen servants upon horses, and
princes walking like servants upon the
earth Eccl 10:7 (ASV)

Wake up and take your place

God Bless You.

COMMISSIONING MEETING:




1 Timothy 4:14 - 'be not careless of the gift in thee, that was given thee
through prophecy, with laying on of the hands of the eldership'

The Great Commission (Matthew 28:16-20)
16 Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. 17 When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. 18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”  

Luke 4:18
18 “The Spirit of the Lord is on me,
    because he has anointed me
    to proclaim good news to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners
    and recovery of sight for the blind,
to set the oppressed free,
19     to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”

The Priestly Blessing (Numbers 6:22-27)

24 “The Lord bless you
    and keep you;
25 the Lord make his face shine on you
    and be gracious to you;
26 the Lord turn his face toward you
    and give you peace.”

Making More Room for God


Make More Room
1 Timothy 4:14 - 'be not careless of the gift in thee, that was given thee
through prophecy, with laying on of the hands of the eldership'
Why is it that things we desire to do for God are many times neglected? We keep wishing, wanting and praying for great things of God, but we are still in the same spiritual rut we were in 5 years ago? Well, God works as he is allowed to in us. You see, God will move according to your ability and space to receive. In some cases, the person you have made your spiritual "head" can sometimes block your progress! Many times we belong to churches and ministries that limit us because of heretic teachings or their desire to play God in our lives rather than teach us the Word. Just because mama and grandma grew up in that church does not mean that's where God wants you. Even though your pastor may be the bomb to them, that doesn't mean that he will allow your personal ministry to be birthed! Even though you know everyone there and it's a real comfort zone for you does not mean that God will ever use you there. We cannot get caught up in the old fashion mindset where you die in the church you were born in! If you are being limited, you must go where you can be blessed of God. Of course, everyone will not do great things in the Kingdom. But many of us have the desire and the call, yet we are limited to our surroundings.
 
 
If you are packing for a trip, and everything does not fit in the suitcase you have, which would you rather do? Take things out and leave them behind, or get a larger suitcase and keep everything you had in it? Well, imagine that's your life. Are you leaving things out? Are you putting your dreams and purpose aside because they don't fit where you are, or are you making room for what God has given you? Don't sell yourself short because you are apart of the wrong fellowship, and please don't get caught up in the lie that you should never leave a church! Leave and find the right church if you have to and don't look back. You must protect your family, your call, and your purpose and you cannot be concerned with what people think about you or will say about you. Find your place in God's Kingdom and stop wasting time. God wants to use you, but you must make room for him.

Happy Mother's Day Mom

Hey guys, its that time of the year and its Mother's Day.

Personally, i would like to congratulate my mom on this day, she is my hero (heroine). I look back at the sacrifices she has made for me (us) and i cannot fathom what its like. Her love is pure and unconditional, Her tenderness un ending.
Through my life, she has been the one i can count on.

I have added her name on my names as an honor, so don't get all surprised when you see Allen on my names. 

I love you MOM. Happy Mother's Day.

I recall all you have done, O LORD

Psalm 77:11 - 'I recall all you have done, O LORD; I remember your
 wonderful deeds of long ago.' -  New Literal Translation
 
 
Has God every let you down? Are you blaming God for a situation that you got yourself into? Well, let me assure you that God will never let you down. Even when we don't deserve it he comes through for us. So, what you must do in trying times is think back on all the times you thought there was no way out. You survived!! You even got so far out of it that you forgot it. Yep, you forgot it and now are feeling like there is no way out of this, right? Well, just remember God has always come through for you. Had he not, you would be somewhere busted, on the streets, without food or shelter, or in a cemetary! The mere fact that you are using email to read this says that you are making some money! God has blessed you to provide for yourself and live better than many!!
 
 
Thinking back on the blessings of God is something that we must  practice. Even if you need to write it down, keep a journal of it because when tough times comes, you need to remember! Remember that time when you were broke and could not pay your rent, but it got paid somehow? Remember that time you thought you were caught and God got you out of it even though you deserved the consequences? Oh, I know, remember that time you were very sick and you prayed the "take me lord" prayer, but you got better and now you don't even remember what it felt like? God is awesome and has been good. Even in your mess, he didn't let you die. So, let's not forget what he's done for us in the past and how he can deliver us in the future. He is God and he is faithful!!! Always and forever.
