The Beautiful Ones are not Yet Born – Something more to say

T’is strange once something hits your heart; it seems to find ways of getting into your walking moments. Still on the beautiful Ones, I bumped into a collusion of thoughts in someone’s head. It was a clash between “what I know I can do” and “what I’m doing”.
She seemed to have all the rings right but just wasn’t doing it.
In talking with her, I find I’m as guilty as she is.
My head seem to contain litany on ideas that don’t find their way to my everyday walk.
Maybe Father looks at me and says “The Beautiful One is not yet born” or He encourages me with another day to start again.
Another day to move from the not so good to the good.
Lord, be born in me again.

The Beautiful Ones are not yet born

Recently, I had a long telephone chat with an old friend. I would describe his side of the conversation as the frustration of the modern day Christianity.
When we were younger, we were involved in organising Christian concerts and at different times we held leadership positions in the same fellowship.
He had become a Christian early in life. His growing years were spent in the church. His frustrations were simple; the comfortable life was not anymore fun.
The comfortable life of attend church on Sundays, “make money on week days and be at service on select week evenings had lost its appeal. There’s got to be something more.
Beyond his personal frustration of the life he led was the loss of the beautiful ones. It seemed those beautiful ones he had known had gone back into the womb. They refused to be born in to the workplace.
It wasn’t that they backslidden, they just seem to blend into the dull scenery. The beauty they once radiated seemed to be in hibernation, probably waiting for some mystical event.
We could all add our names to the list, the list of the No Longer Beautiful.
What a shame! The beautiful ones are not yet born in the workplace

Sometimes He comes so quietly

Sometimes He comes so quietly.
I had a discussion in which the lady suggested that people would repent if God would split the earth and show people Hell.
I differed with her. I believe the repentance would not last more than a few months. The repentance would be motivated by fear which would wane thin after a while.
It is easy to start a relationship based on fear. But a life long relationship which is to be mutually enjoyed by both parties cannot be sustained by a constant dwelling on the fate that befalls an errant party.
One of the joys of faith is when we can move from serving the God who saved us from His judgement to serving the God we love.
Joyous faith is the twin passion of serving the God who loved us and serving the God we love.

The songs I love to sing

The songs I love to sing
I’m an incurable addict for music. Over the years I’ve collected different varieties of music, all of them Christian. All genres of music dot my collection, CCM, gospel, African, reggae, R&B, Praise & Worship.
The best songs I love to listen to are the songs that send me to my knees. They come is different genres. It’s not about the style but the content.
One of the greatest joys of a worshipping heart is the opportunity to fall whole-heartedly facedown in worship before God. It gives a sense of “lostness” in something greater.
The greatness of God cannot be fully captured in words but words can sometimes stir up the building of a temple of praise for Him our hearts.
May God give more songs that keep Him higher than our minds can contain but close enough for our hearts to reach Him.

The Fulfilment of Prophecy

The Fulfilment of Prophecy
T’is strange that God would make a promise and not bring it to pass. The greatest challenge for hoping on a promise is waiting for it to come to pass.
To say “I believe” when I first heard the prophecy is easy, to repeat the same refrain when the earth feels hard as iron and water like a stone…trying times
But when God decides that the fullness of time has come, the promise will be like a tree that has borne its fruit…satisfying.
Mortal man can only trust himself to the hands of a loving God who has promised that at the right time He will fulfil what He has promised.
God offends my mind by delaying His Promise sometimes to give me better perspective on how to use the promise. It is when God offends my mind that the truth about my motives comes to light.
