What Are You Holding Back?

"I surrender all to you...Everything I give to you Withholding nothing, withholding nothing." (William McDowell) Some time ago, we sang this song at church, and as I meditated on the words of the song, I asked myself, "why did the composer have to include that last line of the chorus? It just seemed like an emphasis on what had already been said in the first two lines". Just then the Holy Spirit explained it to me. I remembered one of the ways through which children are taught arithmetics. It involves using the fingers for the numbers 1-10 and a fist for zero. So, when the teachers demonstrate "1-1" for instance, the result would be a fist and then they would open it up to show the children there was nothing in the fist. Then it began to dawn on me.

Listen, worship, be edified...

Hi there! So, I put up this video some months ago but I was drawn to it once again and decided to give someone the opportunity to partake in the heartfelt worship and intercession in it. Ensure you are not left out!                         William McDowell Song of Intercession This one is another interesting 'worship-full' song.... Be blessed and be a blessing to God as you worship....

The Trivial Things...

Image
Wow!!!  It's been a long while! I apologize. So, recently I was studying the books of Samuel and asides the whole "Saul and David chase", I was drawn to how seemingly trivial things became big issues... Such that it became bigger than the perpetrators themselves... These seemingly trivial things soon became their "masters".  I'm sure someone is wondering what I'm talking about.  Well, to begin with, we all know David was a 'good boy' right? Permit me to divert a little here. Have you ever taken note of how David was described, his attributes?  1st Samuel 15 vs 18 in the Amplified version lists them out. It states that David (as a young man) was  skillful, brave, competent, a warrior, prudent and eloquent in speech, handsome  and ultimately, he carried God's presence! I don't think I need to speak any further about these qualities... Just reflect on your own life... ;)

Just SPEAK!!!

Just recently, I misplaced a very important item and stood a chance of having to pay a huge fine if I didn't find it soon enough. As much as I wasn't happy whenever I remembered it was missing, I was at rest. I kept saying, "I'll get it back and with everything intact; nothing missing!" Can I just say here that your mouth is one of the most potent weapons God has given to you. It's not for carrying tales here and there; it's an instrument which if used properly, can bring about an amazing life for you! As I was saying, one day passed by and I was still hanging on to God, trusting that I would get it back sooner than I could imagine. Then the following day, I was studying and something hit me. Proverbs 12:14 - "A man will be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth...". At that point, I stopped and said, "Thank you Jesus because my item has been found and it is returned to me with everything intact!"

                                   " Your glory God is what our hearts long for,                                      To be overcome by Your presence Lord...                                      Let us become more aware of Your presence,                                     Let us experience the glory of your goodness "... The lines of this song are just.... WOW! Make this a prayer from the depth of your heart. Sing the words with understanding...                                          Jesus Culture - Holy S...

HE AROSE! HE AROSE!! HALLELUJAH, CHRIST AROSE!!! SO, this is the essence of Christianity.... If Jesus had not died for us, it would have been disastrous. But if He did not rise from the grave, that would have been catastrophic! This season, take out time to reflect on what Jesus did for you... And the implication of all that He did... He died, so you won't have to die spiritually; He took your sins and sickness upon Himself so you won't have to be a slave to either of them, and He saved you so you could also be the vessel through which someone else would be saved... However, just in case you are reading this now and are yet to know Him, please, open your heart to Him. The greatest way to show love would be to die for a person; Jesus did it for you! And He rose again so you could live a triumphant life! Say the prayer on the left tab and please, do send me a message after you have done so :) Here are two videos to edify your spirit, soul and body... :)
