Black Friday

HEAVEN PAID!

Heaven was quiet. This had never happened, there was always noise. Music, loud music, was always heard. The choir of heaven never tired of singing on loud instruments the majesty of Him that sat on the throne.

Heaven was quiet not because of lack of music, there was singing but it was that of sobriety. I am certain angels don't cry but I could have sworn I saw water escaping some eye sockets.

All interlocked their trembling hands looking unto Him that sat on the Throne while stealing long glances at the severely beaten Lamp on the cross. It was enough that this happened, was the Father not going to intervene? When was the instruction to move to deliver going to be issued? If this Beloved Son were to die this shameful death on the cross, what would be the world's hope?

This couldn't happen. Some looked to Michael and Gabriel with that look that said let's plead to the Father. No one saw the Father's face but they knew that He was in control. But to plead with the Father, they needed the Lamb who alone gave access to the Throne. Will this death happen?

Angels had fear, yes fear, written on their faces; I saw one haplessly biting off his nails. There was no flying around that day, wings were heavy as iron too burdened by grief to lift.

A loud voice was heard from earth that shook heaven. The very foundations moved, the glory around the throne magnified forcing all eyes shut. The light was too bright to behold; we all lay prostrate and trembling as men under a life threatening attack.

The voice we heard was unmistakably from the cross, the Lamb of God shouted "It is finished!" and that was it. He submitted His spirit and gave up the ghost.

My body shook with the force of a high voltage of grief. I could feel the very life drain off me, my Lord and Saviour died this wicked death on the cross. Why then do I still breath? What then is my hope?

Is this the end?

Mistaken Identity

Nothing hurts more than when people take you to be something negative which you are not. If not handled properly it can dry the oil of motivation. Joseph had a DREAM but his brothers mistook him for a DREAMER. They said to one another, "...Behold, this dreamer cometh." (Genesis 37:19) Having a dream is NOT the same as being a dreamer. A dream is an appointment with destiny. A person who has a dream has an appointment that must be fulfilled. A dreamer is a person whose ideas and plans are not practical or based in reality. A dreamer is a joker. He talks about things he has no passion nor commitment to carry out. Joseph's brothers thought he was a dreamer. They were blinded by envy and driven by rage. They mistook their saviour for a serpent and tried to kill him, but God delivered Joseph out of their hands. Don't expect people to accept your dreams, They will call you a dreamer and it will hurt your feelings. They will try to bury your dreams but God will...
GOD CANNOT BE STRANDED! Make a big deal of whatever you have been called to do in the Lord's vineyard. Do the work with all your strength but don't ever be guilty of making 'yanga' before your Maker. As human beings we will be tempted to place much emphasis on ourselves as we grow in service especially when what we do is considered by many significant. We must do all to keep our focus on Him who has called us and determine to stay humble in Him. As ministers of the gospel, sometimes the work may be overwhelming but we mustn't think ourselves greater or more relevant than we ought. Elijah at some point thought he alone was God's option but God had 7,000 men waiting who could have taken his place. The question now is, if God had 7,000 then how many does He have today to replace one man who is tired? Elijah probably might have thought there could be no greater prophet than him but God had someone who was two times greater. Are you thinking that you are Go...

3 Reasons Why You Need Jesus

1. There is an afterlife. Even people that do not believe in God have an unspoken assurance within them that there is an afterlife. In the afterlife there are two destinations, good (heaven) and bad (hell). Jesus is the ONLY way to the good part. 2. There is  war in this life. Everyone is at war! War within, war without, war amongst, war everywhere. The enemy (devil) that we wrestle knows he has limited time to wreck his havoc. Our enemy is relentless and brutal, he has no respect for positions and titles, he works wickedness everyday. The only name he fears is JESUS, you need Jesus to win every war, have rest, peace and lasting victory. 3. Spiritual Fulfilment. Human beings are mere branches to the Tree (God). No matter how hard we try to satisfy ourselves with other things, there is a deep ache in our hearts if we don't have a relationship with God. Jesus is the only fulfilling link to the Father. Jesus is our spiritual lifeblood. If we are ever going shed the spi...
