Straight from my heart!!!

In your presence is where i belong, in your presence is where i am strong. Loving you and drinking fro your fountain. Your presence is what i desire, surrounding me, wrapping me in love so precious, in safety and in garrison let your love be my shower, your power my buffer. In weakness your strength revealed; revealer of secrets, deep secrets of ages past, what lies in darkness before ever fresh yet never recollecting sins long forgiven. Glorious light dwells with you , giver of visions opener of blind eyes, redeemer, saviour of me, lifting me, from clay and ashes deep set my feet on rock so solid regardless of the taunts and wiles of wickedness, setting me as a light and a king on a hill so Holy, of me you make royalty, adopting me into your family, make me a priest anointing me for your separated purpose, TOUCH NOT you say, do my prophets no harm! The terrible contender must face your terrible contention. Like a warrior you gird yourself and fight for me tearing down clou

The Sacrifice of praise?...Really? 2!

Hey People, welcome again, talking about the sacrifice of praise still, so here’s what I found out. To get the full gist of what I’m sharing, please read my earlier post. Just click on this link right here! The fact is that praise should be our culture (according to my sister 3JI) indeed our consistent way of life, it is neither a reward given to God for his goodness and kind acts, nor a “sacrifice” in the self denial sense of the word when things are not working out the way we want them to, rather it should be our reality in good or in bad.   Now you may be thinking there’s nothing different from what we’ve heard all along and let me be quick to say that the truth is that it encompasses both of this thoughts, but the answer or revelation for me lies in the intended meaning of the word “sacrifice”. The sacrifice of praise is primarily for the mercies of redemption. According to Rosenmuller ( Alte u. neue Moergenland, in loc) the Jews had a species of offerings which they call

The sacrifice of praise?...really?

Hello everyone, welcome.   Hebrews 13:15 says, "Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise--the fruit of lips that openly profess his name . say what????.... i mean like seriously? is that possible? does that make sense? These are the questions that pop into my head each time i come across these scripture or hear someone quote it. i have heard some explanation of this scripture still these two words "sacrifice" and "praise" placed side by side like that get me thinking... how does one give a sacrifice of praise? I and am sure a lot of other Christians too think of sacrifice as offering something at great cost to ourselves, giving something at a very inconvenient time. like for example if i had just enough money to feed myself and i saw someone in need and had to give up that money for their feeding or any thing else,that would be a sacrifice. while the word praise would mean to say something good about some one so he

Exo 3:21-22    21  “And I will make the Egyptians favorably disposed toward this people, so that when you leave you will not go empty-handed. 22  Every woman is to ask her neighbor and any woman living in her house for articles of silver and gold and for clothing, which you will put on your sons and daughters. And so you will plunder the Egyptians.” Why do you think it was women who were asked to go and ask  their neighbors for articles of silver and gold for the plundering of Egypt, a recompense for their labours and to facilitate the worship of their God? I think the answer can be found in a word in the preceding verse which talks about favour, it means to me that women are fashioned to be highly favoured of God. No wonder the bible says he who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains (there's that word again) FAVOUR from the Lord, it means then(to my mind) that women have a very vital role to play in the prosperity or otherwise of their husbands and family. I

Bible in 90 days day 3 -Joseph Joseph!

pix from askeugene.wordpress.com Reading through the life of Joseph in the bible makes for quite an interesting read, the story flows so easily you almost want it to keep going as you go through the chapters no wonder Preachers have a field day drawing sermons and messages from these pages... its amazing and it just brings to bear the wisdom of God in all things, especially in bringing His plans for our lives to pass. you know you have a vision, or you have a word of where you are headed but life's circumstances seem like they are taking you in the opposite direction while in reality they are actually leading you to your place of destiny, wow! Joseph's brothers thought they would get rid of him and be done with the pestering little dreamer, little did they know that they actually gave him the first step towards the achievements of those dreams, there was no way it would have come to pass if he had remained in his doting father's bosom, now he got to the l

Bible in 90days day 2-Align that Vision!

Gen 24:60 They gave her this blessing as she parted: “Our sister, may you become      the mother of many millions! May your descendants be strong      and conquer the cities of their enemies.”   How important do you think it is as women for our visions to align with that of our husbands or husbands-to-be? Rebekah was being married into a family that had a huge proclamation of blessings and visions upon their lives they were walking in and passing on what we know as the blessing of Abraham found in         Gen 12:1 The Lord had said to Abram, “Leave your native country, your relatives, and your        father’s family, and go to the land that I will show you. 2  I will make you into a great nation. I will bless you and make you famous, and you will be a blessing to others. 3  I will bless those who bless you and curse those who treat you with contempt. All the families on earth will be blessed through you.”   and  Gen 22: 17  I will certainly bless you. I will m
