Come to the Saviour,make no delay

Come to the Saviour, make no delay;
Here in His Word He has shown us the way;
Here in our midst He’s standing today,
Tenderly saying, “Come!”


Joyful, joyful will the meeting be,
When from sin our hearts are pure and free;
And we shall gather, Saviour, with Thee,
In our eternal home.


“Suffer the children!” oh, hear His voice!
Let ev’ry heart leap forth and rejoice!
And let us freely make Him our choice;
Do not delay, but come.



Think once again, He’s with us today;
Heed now His blest command, and obey;
Hear now His accents tenderly say,
“Will you, My children, come

                                                                  P.P. Bliss

This is a wonderful song.
I knew the importance of coming to the saviour when it has defied all hope and i have known this more than often by seeking the grace of the Lord..
Jesus our master said"he or she that come unto me, i will in no wise cast him or her away,"that's the truth.
I have wondered why Men of God do sin and God still used them and why sometimes they fell out of grace and they become Satanic tools.It is a sin to do out of grace what we think it is no sin 
,i said that in my own own words.Well,you and i have checked and searched the Bible for a particular issue that have been bordering minds for some ages and we are very much wanting to unravel the cause of this mystery.We can succeed provided we come unto Christ.Those who are going to be useful to God must be stained and our enemies,the devils are ever ready to do that but the way out is to come unto Christ without delay when the devils begin their verbal assault.

It is one thing to want to come unto the Lord and it is another thing not to make delay but the best ever is to always be with the Lord.The song admonishes us not to delay in coming back to Christ.We have walked away,lie away in  our speeches and it seems there is not going to be a light of hope.The real truth is that there is hope and in Christ only is our hope.Don't delay!!

We need to come back to him and remain so as to restrain sinners from reviling Christ and the glory of the cross .
I love this song and i sing it with an open song.
Now it is over to you,sing it  and come back to Christ.I have done the same and he have me back, Christ is waiting for you too.Obey him today,do not postpone the day of your Salvation.
Tomorrow may be too late!!!

One there is above all others

One there is above all others,
Oh, how He loves!
His is love beyond a brother's
Oh how He loves!
Earthly friends may fail or leave us,
One day soothe,the next day grieve us,
But this Friend will ne'er deceive us,
Oh,how He loves!

'Tis is eternal life to know him,
Oh, how He loves!
Think,oh, think how much we owe Him,
Oh, how He loves!
With this precious blood He bought us,
In the wilderness He sought us,
To His fold He safely brought us,
Oh, how He loves!



We have found a Friend in Jesus,
Oh, how He loves!'Tis
His great delight to bless us,
Oh, how He loves!
How our heart delight to hear Him,
Bid us dwell in safety near Him,
Why should we distrust of fear Him,
Oh, how He loves!



Through His Name we are forgiven
Oh, how He loves!
Backward shall our foes be driven,
Oh, how He loves!
Best of blessings He'll provide us,
Nought but good shall e'er betide us,
Safe to glory He will guide us,
Oh, how He loves!



The Love of Christ is  the love that we can be sure of.We are one in the love of Christ .Greater is He that is in us ,than him that is in the world.Christ is my beloved,who will never deceive me and Christ in my beloved will never deceive,fail, nor disappoint me.His love bring no emotional attachment,no strings attached, no conditions should demean our love for him.Christ love is unique!! I love my Lord. I love Jesus.

Above all, above relatives,brothers,sisters,friends, uncles and aunt,Christ loves us.There are precious things we have through our loving Him.
One among them is Life Eternal.The bible said we shall not die but live to declare the glory of the Lord.Once we have known Him,we have passed the threshold of death into the life in Christ Jesus.We are no longer to transmit in the wavelength  and frequency of death and of the  devil but of God and His Christ.

Jesus said you are my friend indeed if you keep my commandment.There is more to this than meet the eye. Through his name  are we forgiven all our sins.God's enemies never want any good praise  to come from us to God.That's why he is fond of accusing us before God.Brethren it is the time of praise and prayer  that the enemy accuse us before God.The enemy neither want me and you to praise God nor pray to Him.


We do try to keep  people we love, for ourselves and for others whom we know will not abuse our loved ones.That's human instinct and on that principle do we now understand the love of Jesus.For in the same has he prayed for our peace, joy on earth.He has prayed that we be kept away from the evil ones, the devils.

Through His name,we voiced over the satanic kingdom.We have the authority through Him to make the devil  and his angels to be subjected under our feet.We subject the principalities under us and made them to bow through the name of Jesus.For example, the Apostles,after the departure of Christ  were able, at the beautiful gate, to explore the power in  the name Jesus. Paul used this name to bring down simon the  bar- jesus, the wizard on his knees.

There is nothing in the world that should give us joy as saved people,save, the saved ones.Christian feels the love of Christ in togetherness.The love that delight in blessing.Love that draw us to Him,that makes us  cherish hearing His voice every moment.Love that drove away fear.Love that bring  empowerment ,the only true love.The love that should be in every dating,courtship relationships and  in marriages.Mothers love their children.My father, though getting  old loves me. i always cherish their words even now when they are very far away to me.I feel their love,advice, corrections and the rest like those.I always want to keep in touch with them by trying to bring into remembrance all they have told me.I pray for them daily.

I feel the greater love,my Lord has for me,His affection always drawing me.I love Jesus in my parent and in my loved ones.I love Jesus in all things around me and i want to see Jesus in everything.I am grateful He loves us.We should be grateful.

Don't be surprised that i have not mentioned God's love.God's love is all i have  been saying.The bible said "Christ first love us..." and the bible also said "The father loved the son and has commited all things into his hand".God loves Christ, and He, Christ, loves all that come unto Him.Come to Jesus today,he loves you than any.

"By thy grace we will"

1.  Ho, my  comrades see the signal
     Waving in the sky!
      Reinforcements now appearing,
      Victory is nigh!
     "Hold the fort,for i am coming"
     Jesus signal still:
     Wave  the answer back to heaven,
     "By thy grace we will"
2.  See the mighty host advancing
     Satan leading on:
     Mighty men around us failing
     Courage almost gone!

3.  See the glorious banner waving!
     Hear the trumpet blow!
     In our Leader's name we"ll triumph
     Over  ev'ry  foe!

4.  Fierce and long the battle rages.
     But our help is near:
     Onward comes our great Commander,
     Cheer,my comrades,  cheer!
                                                           P. P. Bliss

Hallelujah.I thank the Lord for another inspiration drawn from the song, taken as  the hymn of the week,composed by P. P. Bliss also sang by him.The lyrics are so wonderful that mere reading gives hope and beam the light of what the composer has in mind into ones mind.
As Christian soldiers.Christian comrades!We have common goals to achieve and common battles to fight.There is no goal without a fight,no victory without battle.The battle ground has been drawn right from the time the Lord handed over the Great Commission unto the Apostles.It is the will of God.God has ordered that, right from the garden of Eden,provided you have the understanding of what God said in the garden unto the woman and the serpent.
No battle without weapons.The easiest battle employed crude weapons,border related wars,or battles arising from the  struggles of  power sharing among factions has resulted into the use of sophisticated weapons such as missiles,bombs, nuclear weapons and other mass- destructive weapons,also international disagreements over issues has  resulted into worldwide wars! There are many long standing trials and wars which has remained irresolvable.However there is no battle as the one we fight.This is a battle that determines our eternal stakes.The battle between God's Christ and the Satan.
Should we expect bombings and firing of missiles from God's Kingdom into the kingdom of Satan or should it come from the enemy? Though the enemy has long wage war against the Church ,the Lord has not permitted the gate of hell to prevail.The Lord is our commander.The Lord Jesus,He is our Leader and in his name we will triumph.Church don't employ missiles,bombs and guns in fighting this battle because the battle is the Lord.The weapons employed in this battle transcends those military weapons! The weapon of Christ.

I want to sing a song
                                 Who can battle with the  Lord/3*
                                  I say nobody,i say no power!  
In the name of Jesus every knee should bow according to what the bible said in Phil.2:9,10,11 that God has given Him a name than every other name.That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow.Of things in the heaven,earth and under the earth.That  God may be glorified.When He is there with you Satanic knees must bow!To bow means to be in subjection to the Lord Jesus, whether they like it or not.


Are you a Christian,are you one of the  Comrades in the Lord?Have you been marked out as the Lord's? Where are you in the Lord? The enemy will come against you if you are on the Lord's side, did you know that? Fierce and long the battle has been now, and if the Lord tarries for the next seconds the battle keep on.However, panic not ,because the Lord is with us.Behold His Signal being wave in the sky.The Lord is reinforcing His own against the host of Satan.Though,mighty men may fall and courage almost gone,what the Lord is asking to do  is that,"Hold fast till i come"Onward comes our great commander, so fret not! Instead cheer one another, the fact that, the Lord comes.
As you go in this month, go in his strength and in his strength alone.Victory is near.Go in his grace.You need God's grace not to sin but to fight the battle at stake.You are drawn into this battle once you have confessed Jesus with your mouth,that He is the son of God.Please let me remind you,in this battle there is no truce breakers.You either fight for Eternity with God or perish.There is no neutral point for God but for the Satan.There is no sitting on fence.What i mean is that you can not be neutral on the issue of God and Satan.If you have not given your life to God you can still do so now before it is too late.The enemy may come against you but He shall not prevail.In the Lord alone you have your victory over God's enemy.Remember God is coming to judge the world and if you are not on his side now,He shall judge you as an enemy.
I am inviting you today to join the group of those who says,"By thy grace we will".And will do what?  Will Hold fast unto the truth.As you do so today it is my prayer that the Lord shall establish you,keep you from falling away and empower you to hold fast and fight the battle before us.
Christian battle is not carnal,hence our weapon, but it(weapon) is mighty in the Lord for  the pulling down of strongholds.Lord we will wait in your power and hold fast your truth.Come... Lord!

What a friend we have in Jesus

WHAT a friend we have in Jesus
All our sins and griefs to bear;
What a privilege to carry
Ev'rything to God in prayer
Oh what peace we often forfeit,
Oh,what needless pain we bear
All because we do not carry
Ev'rything to God in prayer.

Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged,
Take it to the Lord in prayer
Can we find a Friend so faithful
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our ev'ry weakness
Take it to the Lord in prayer.

Are we weak and heavy laden
Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Saviour, still our refuge
Take it to the Lord in prayer
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer
In His arms He"ll take and shield thee
Thou wilt found a solace there.
                                          Joseph Scriven

Hallelujah,i am writing and reflecting on moods today on this blog.Many of us do carry different moods on our faces at various times in the day.Our thinking, fears,anxieties,hopes,desires,name it,name it  are too many aren't they? Sometimes we have  clogs all over our moods, feeling all is not well.Tied to the bed, we keep musing and musing over a particular issue.Let me call it the Rich Man's syndrome!!

We all have it and are all suffering from it,born rich or poor, now rich or poor,we have the syndrome's to wet our moods,our  thoughts.Thoughts have soften some people as a pulp.Their moods have grounded their countenances.They are mixed up.If you asked for their head they would give you their thighs.When you happen to know what they are thinking you are in soup.They have been born, born, born, born several times.Today they are high with hopes.The other day they are looking as the poor Samaritan,they feels helpless..

Tell me who has not fall into this kind of shoes before? You must have seen your sizes there? Perhaps it is now too big for your shoes or your legs are now too big? Hope as you read you are  getting what i am trying to say.here?
The fear of future has soaked many of us.We are so much afraid of the future.Out of fear many consult horoscopes,i mean out of uncertainty.When the future is uncertain and you can't pray you ''ll probably resort into other avenues like Horoscopes to determine  days ahead of you!!
Many are caged.Many feared herbalist like God.To them the fear of the herbalist's revelations is the beginning of their wisdom.They can give anything for divination.They are spiritually dead in Christ.Some just go to church for the sake of it.They trust herbalist than Jesus.Others might have tried Jesus for a couple of times but have met  deadlock.No solution. They are fed up.Some have even been duped by pastors.Doctors have milked many people's fortunes.Some are thinking to attempt suicide in other  to end all their problems.

There are thousands living-dead people.They are plagued by the devil,he has infested their homes.Many believed they can never make it in life.Some are thinking it is too late.Some accused others of their predicaments.They fingered their mothers as witch behind their problems.Parents blamed themselves for having too much mouths to feed when the bible said children are the heritage of God.
Some are been haunted by the past.Many are too careless about their  lives issues.Some just make decisions,any decisions they made is final,.they can't see the road ,hence they have resorted into making decision any how.They jumped even when there is no pit before them.

All these are life's painful experiences, but in the absence of prayers.I wish you know  prayers will dismantle all your problems provided you pray and pray to God only.Have you tried prayers and failed.Check your methods.Ask yourself how did i pray and why is my prayers unanswered? These pastors,brothers and sisters' prayers were always answered but not mine.Why? Why all these days?Think that way.

Be genuine with yourselves or else your problems persists. I don't know how to lie.I pray that right away as you read and connect with faith ,obedience and making necessary reconciliation  with God and God only, your prayers shall be answered.Don't fear because the devil is going to come into your mind and threatened hell against you, should you pray.Pray in brokenness of mind.Ensure you are broken before God.That's an effective solution against your problems.

Come closer to Jesus.Make friendship with him.Obey his commandments.For he said "My friend you are indeed, if you do all that i command you to do".Your prayers will be answered.Practice Holiness in and out, it is your greatest weapon.You are very strong if you are holy.Devil will accuse you but pray.Pray, praise God,confess to God all your hidden sins and every known sins.Pray for God's help and surely his help shall come to rescue you from all your fears and pains in this life and give you hope of eternity.

There are listeners but not like Jesus and his people.Who will hear you like Jesus? Is it the devil who knows he is going to hell that will help and solve your problems for you ? Devil never solve problems he complicated them.Love Jesus now than ever.Give your life to Him and surrender your whole-self to him and he shall do more than all i could say in your life.Believe in his power.There is no problem he can't overcome. He can solve all problems.Nothing is too high for Jesus my Lord to bring down and nothing is too small for him to elevate.There is neither any stronghold he can't enter nor destroy.Then why are you doubting or fearing Call on him now with  faithful heart and he shall answer your prayers.His friendship lasted into eternity.If you keep up with your parts,Jesus is forever faithful to his promises.He once said "He that come unto me ,i will in no wise cast away".Did you hear that? The Lord shall not cast away.Trust Him .Rely on Him that your peace shall not be forfeited any more.Whatever you need ,i see a friend near you telling you that "i can provide them" and that friend is Jesus.Jesus is a wonderful Friend.Believe me.

THERE SHALL BE SHOWERS OF BLESSING

1."THERE shall be showers of blessing".
    This is the promise of God
    There shall be season refreshing
     Sent from the saviour above
       Show...ers of blessings,
       Showers of blessings we need,
       Mercy drops round are falling,
       But for the showers we plead.


 2 "There shall be showers of blessing".
     Precious reviving again,
     Over the hills and the valleys
     Sound of abundance of rain.

 3  "There shall be showers of blessing".
     Send them upon us O Lord
     Grant to us now a refreshing
     Come now and honour Thy Word.

4   "There shall be showers of blessing".
     Oh that to-day they might fall
     Now, as to God, we're confessing,
     Now as on Jesus we call!

5    "There shall be showers of blessing".
      If we but trust and obey;
      There shall be season refreshing
      If we let God has his way.

The blessings of the Lord he added no sorrow.When the Lord blesses he do at the right time.Many in the world never wait on God's timing.They seek out for their own way.I have this notion in me that "any way other than God's proceed only from none other than the devil"

The Lord is blessing.In his blessing is Yea and Amen.Yes we need to call on him all times for this showers whenever we want.Showers is our want but the Lord God daily loads us with drops of mercy.The necessity is there,however those who ask their want shall be granted.There shall be showers of blessings only if you ask.

True blessings must meet  true mind.Have you purge yourselves?When we are talking of Spiritual blessings,there must be a prepared mind.The refreshing power of God will only come on minds that has prepared,whose sins have been forgiven and who are trusting and obeying.My brothers and sisters you can only do all these by prayers.Pray.

Spiritual blessings precedes every other blessings.When you are blessed Spiritually God's material blessings do follow that bring no sorrow.I see you there in Jesus name.This is for next week.Enjoy it as from now!This is a wonderful hymn from El Nathan.

Sweet Hour Of Prayer

Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
That calls me from a world of care,
And bids me at my Father's throne
Make all my wants and wishes known.
In seasons of distress and grief,
My soul has often found relief,
And oft escaped the tempter's snare
By thy return, sweet hour of prayer!


Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
Thy wings shall my petition bear
To him whose truth and faithfulness
Engage the waiting soul to bless.
And since he bids me seek his face,
Believe his word, and trust his grace,
I'll cast on him my every care,
And wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!

Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
May I thy consolation share,
Till from Mount Pisgah's lofty height
I view my home and take my flight
This robe of flesh I'll drop, and rise
To seize the everlasting prize,
And shout, while passing through the air,
"Farewell, farewell, sweet hour of prayer!"

Honestly this triggers my zeal for this blog.
I wonder what's happening, this is just the second month of the year.It's like i am in the mood of no writing  but i am not going to quit.Devil is a liar!!
Brethren and my fellow ones who loves writing,Prayer is the key.
When you are not in the mood to write and you know you  ought to have written some pages on your  books,get on your knees and pray.Prayer intervenes than any strong man!.

We have lots and lots that could makes one  go wild if we don't submit them in form of petitions to God.Enemies will keep taunting us if we refuse to pray!Prayer opens doors.As a youth, i  am in need of a woman.I have observed that mere thinking will not do it.Marriage transcends thinking and thoughts receive from outside.The key to a successful marriage is prayer.When you pray you will have revelations and directions from God, the painful parts of this however is that your findings through prayers may contradict with your  thoughts.

I have lots of headache through marital issues.I have thoughts that provoke me  myself,sometimes i felt sorry for myself for i do sit down thinking for hours on a particular lady.I do compare ladies i come across.I am easily put off.They never met my spiritual standards.The more i think the farther i get.The more i choose myself the more i hate marriage.I am disappointed.I have given it over to God.I have been praying.I have been getting results.Things are getting through.

What i am saying in essence is that Prayer offloads problems cares and anxieties.There are lots of temptations that prayers get off ones mind.Prayer will make you do away with sin.If you are prayerful,you get off the tempter snares because you will not want sin to block your prayers from been answered.The Bible said in Isaiah 59:1 & 2 that God has not received so many people prayers by virtue of their sins.Their prayers were bitter,vain and insincere.God help us.

Prayer is sweet.Prayer is challenging but don't see it as a task not worth it.Prayer worth  than our golden thoughts.A fool who pray and a man who think he is wise will be differentiate by their products.I am not saying to think wise is evil.Wisdom is the principal thing but through prayers.Praying in wisdom is the best.God is ready to bless our efforts,provided we seek him,believe his words, trust in his grace and wait for the next sweet hour of prayer.God is faithful.God will help.God will give the right match provided we call on him in truth.God will seek your right match any where in the world.Keep praying.Pray for me That God's will may come to pass.

When we Pray about eternity he hears.When we hope for his returns he don't disappoint,for he hastens his arrival now than ever.I know Prayer nowadays require strength,you can go extra miles.Don't use alarm watch to pray.Prayer requires no timing.Pray always without ceasing,while at work pray over whatever burdens your heart and the God of love shall answer you.

My Hope is built on nothing less

1.    My hope is built on nothing less,
       Than Jesus' blood and righteousness;
       I dare not trust the sweetest frame
       But wholly lean on Jesus name.
           On Christ the solid rock, i stand;
           All other ground is sinking is sinking sand. 

2.     When darkness seems to veil His face,
         I rest on his unchanging grace;
         In every high and, stormy gale,
         My anchor holds within the veil.

3.      His oath,His covenant, and blood,
         Support me in the whelming flood;
         When all around my soul gives way,
          He then is all my hope and stay.

4.       When he shall come with trumpet sound,
           Oh, may I then in him be found;
           Dressed in his righteousness alone,
           Faultless to stand before the throne.
                                                             Edward Mote  

This is my song for this week.
The bible says "Other foundation can no man laid than that,that is laid which is Christ Jesus."1 Cor. 3:11
Many people will not bear with me the chorus' truth that all other ground is sinking sand.Jesus is the sure foundation that makes one stand and stand.When you are standing on a rock ,you have the hope and strong faith that your feet is never  going to slip.No trip to fall. No shaking because you are on the rock.

In the journey of life Jesus is the only rock. He is the one to rely on.Put hold on him on whatever you aspire to do, speak to the rock.Be confident that Jesus is the rock your weary soul.Rock remain mystery to mankind  and the generation to come.We have continue to find more mysteries of life inside the rock.If  Christ dwells in you ,your life remain a mystery to the world.

Many have their hope in things that are transient,while many doubts their hope in Christ.There are many strongholds in the world today but the name of the Lord is a strong tower.Your self-righteousness build strongholds in you,oaths,covenants and evil promises are strongholds in your life,when you do away with them,the Lord will come in to dine with you.There your weary soul find rest, you are comforted and truth will be glaring in your eyes.Mind you if you think you will stick to the plans of your heart which is dishonouring to God such is a ground of sand which is sure to make you sink.I pray that will not be your portion in Jesus name.

I am not saying that your trust, faith and hope in Christ will keep you from storms of life,no,no,no,there shall be persecutions,trials and tests to determine where your anchor holds.Will it be holding truly in Christ?That's the essence of trials to we the children of God.Trials are there to determine your level in Christ.The bible says we pass through the same trials as brethren all over the world.Your soul is wrapped with many colorful things with,what you trust in nearest to your soul.Is it the Lord that is near to your soul?

When you call on him in prayer he will answer,his unchanging grace to still tempest in your life.His oath and covenant to be with you even till the ages shall see you through and his powerful  blood shall mark you out.We all know of the rapture,when he shall come with trumpet sound will you in him be found? Your sins and lust-love will strive to hinder you.They will present you self-righteousness but honestly we can stand faultless before the throne of God in his righteousness alone.

Holy Father Hear Me

Holy father hear me;
Thou art my defender,
Be thou ever near me;
Loving  true and  tender.

Jesus blessed Master;
Lord of life and glory,
Bid the hour fly faster;
Till i kneel before thee.

Comforter benignest,
Who abiding in me.
All my need divinest;
Move me, draw me, win me.

Holy, Holy, Holy,
Come and leave me never.
Thine abode most lowly,
Only thine forever.


This posting for the coming week is unique in the sense that i dearly love this song.

All glory to God who has made us see the end of the month of January,2010.I knew many will agree with me that the world at large have witnessed great and terrible incidents,however,in the midst of all these God remain the same.

The piece is focusing on the youth.It is a form of dedication.As we can see many are dedicating themselves in diverse ways to an unnumbered things, influences,beliefs,ideas,cultures and  social norms.What will be advantageous for us youth is to say as the Psalmist in his song,Psalm 63:1 a little phrase there - "God,early will i seek thee..."


Why should we seek God early of our youthful days ?
God is our defender, a loving,tender and true father. He is the Holy One whose love  we should crave for all our days.The most importance thing for us is to have a constant fellowship with Him and to dwell in his presence.Our God is a loving God.Youths believe this.God loves you.The Bible said "Seek yee God while he may be found,call him while he is near".The preacher in Ecclesiastes said "remember now thy creator in the days of thy youth..."

Who should Christ be to every Youth?
Jesus Christ the blessed Master of every youth.The sole controller of issues of life.He lords over life.Our Savior.The glory of youths is in his hand.He controls the yielding ones  and lead them in his glory.In as much they dwell in him His glory is theirs.Why not yield yourselves to Christ today as  youths?


The Holy Spirit
Our comforter from God abiding in us.We need him to steer us into doing the will of God wholesomely.I call him needs meeter,needs supplier,needs quencher.There is none that could quench our  needs,sorrows and agitations,today, like the Holy Spirit.We have  him in us and we have the assurance of God the Father and the Son.

We
It is now left for us to give heed to and to sing the song with high hope that he shall give us the desire of our heart.He shall surely hears me and you as we hope in him.Honestly,we are to earnestly seek his return,desiring to see his face.As his bride we should cherish the time that we shall get to Christ.

Christian seek not yet repose.

The world demand special care and carefulness as we go these days.Hence i sang this song for this week.

Christian seek not yet repose,
Hear thy guardian angel say,
Thou art in the midst of foes;
"Watch and pray."

Principalities and powers
Must ring their unseen array,
Wait for thy unguarded hour;
"Watch and pray."

Gird thy heavenly armor on,
Wear it every night and day;
Ambushed lies the evil one,
"Watch and pray."

Hear the victor who o'er come,
Still they mark each warrior's way;
All with one sweet voice exclaim;
"Watch and pray."

Watch as if on that alone,
Hung the issue of the day,
Pray that help may  be sent down;
"Watch and pray."

The Lord help us to watch and pray.May God see us through  the journey in the world.Remember you are a sojourner on the earth.The enemy never want you to reach your home,  hence ,watch and pray.
You are in the unguarded hour when you are at ease, please watch and pray!
The principalities and powers of the darkness wait for the relaxed time, they knew they couldn't overcome you when you watch, when you pray,hence they tend to wait for your sleeping hour instead of the sweet hour of prayer.

The  Lord himself we obey  and Love on a daily basis, that Jesus daily slogan  we have confessed to keep and follow daily, he has  also drop in your heart and mine that we should  watch and pray.

The evil one lies in ambushed against you and i,his intention as the Lord Jesus said is to  steal,destroy and kill.He is your enemy, don't see him as friend.devil cannot solve your problem. Pray only to God and not devil so that you can continue to have the peace of God.

You are a soldier of the Lord,do you know that?The world is the only battle ground where you can be a soldier , when you scale through ,God is not going to make you a legion again.He has been making one out of you  now, so watch and get yourself braced up in  praying.That is your strength.

Please don't slumber, never slumber again.It's dangerous. Evils and atrocities committed here and there in this world should warn both me and you.The civil unrest,military threats all over the world should be a catalyst for our prayers.If you can't pray for yourself ,pray for your nation and the world at large.Ask for the supremacy of God, his kingdom and power over the kingdoms of the world to come than ever.We need it badly, isn't it?

If you pray with a sincere heart, all your wishes shall be granted.Pray with a holy heart. Pray along with the brethren.Ensure you are spiritually awaken.Identify your sin and ask for strength to deal with them.Don't join the group of fault finders!Forsake your sins now!!!

I have found out that those who find other people's fault have more faults and have committed grievous mistakes.If you are in such group it cannot help.

Reposition your home, commit it unto the Lord.Ensure you and your home are spiritually sanctified.Let the Holy Spirit guide your home day,in day out.The Lord be with you all who read this.

TAKE MY LIFE AND LET IT BE

Take my life and let it be,
Consecrated Lord to Thee.
Take my moments and my days,
Let them flow in ceaseless praise.

Take my hands and let them move,
At the impulse of thy Love.
Take my feet and let them be,
Swift and beautiful for Thee.
 
Take my voice and let me sing,
Always, only, for my King.
Take my lips and let them be,
Filled with messages from Thee.

Take my silver and my gold,
Not a mite would I withhold.
Take my intellect, and use,
Every power as Thou shalt choose.

Take my will and make it Thine,
It shall be no longer mine.
Take my heart, it is Thine own;
It shall be Thy royal throne.
 
Take my love, my Lord, I pour,
At Thy feet its treasure - store.
Take myself, and I will be,
Ever, only, all for Thee.


The Lord asked for nothing from You and I than Consecration and Holiness.  It's just as if F. R. Havergal knew all the Lord wanted and i wondered how this wonder piece of song was compiled.
Thoroughly the mind reflected a broken heart which has surrendered unto the will of the Lord.

I know Lord want  our hearts and here i have put down the song  for  every one that read this blog.Today it is a blog of Consecration. It's  also about Holiness.

The truth is that to work for the Lord you must be Consecrated and you must be Holy both in mind and deeds.Havergal said in the song that the Lord shoud have the Life He has given  her in the first.She is  thoughtful in doing that.Let me ask this simple question Have you given your Life to Jesus as well.She (Havergal) wanted her Life , days and moments in them to be filled with ceaseless praise.You can't do away with giving your life to Christ if you want the end result of ceaseless praise.

I marvelled whenever i sang the next verses, because i believed this woman will never use both her hands and feet to go  and open that cinema door where Micheal Jackson album is going to be played. Her feet will never got  near the dance floor.Iam sure she will  get those  materials in dire need for God's use in any part of her country to send to where they are needed.

What she could think of , she gave God all them all.Talkof her voice, her silver and gold, her intellect, her will, her heart, her love and her , her , her all...........

What will you give unto the Lord today and forever.

He said in one song
        I gave , i gave , my life to thee,
        what have u given to me...
        I gave , i gave , my life to thee,        what have u given to me...

What a new  week , new  month, new year  and a new season. Everything again in their time have been made  brand new.
God made them anew so that we may acknowledge him as the God..He has made them in his time.The Bible said in Saint John 1:3 which says" All things were made by him and beside him nothing new was made."This God is worthy to be praised .

Trust and Obey

  1. When we walk with the Lord
      In the light of His Word,
    What a glory He sheds on our way;
      While we do His good will,
      He abides with us still,
    And with all who will trust and obey.
    • Trust and obey,
      For there's no other way
      To be happy in Jesus,
        But to trust and obey.
  2. Not a shadow can rise,
      Not a cloud in the skies,
    But His smile quickly drives it away;
      Not a doubt or a fear,
      Not a sigh or a tear,
    Can abide while we trust and obey.
  3. Not a burden we bear,
      Not a sorrow we share,
    But our toil He doth richly repay;
      Not a grief or a loss,
      Not a frown or a cross,
    But is blest if we trust and obey.
  4. But we never can prove
      The delights of His love,
    Until all on the altar we lay;
      For the favor He shows,
      And the joy He bestows,
    Are for them who will trust and obey.
  5. Then in fellowship sweet
      We will sit at His feet,
    Or we'll walk by His side in the way;
      What He says we will do;
      Where He sends, we will go,
    Never fear, only trust and obey.
My assembly where i worship is a very small group where we have the opportunity to know  one another  dearly.I have the privileged of reading the text of the sermon today,but what really captured my mind today  was the sermon itself.The preacher instead of dwelling on thanksgiving preached  Obedience.I was struck.This new year this man of God reeled out that Prayer is not the key this year but Obedience.He said our key of surviving the year is Obedience.

He didn't sing that song up there but it flew up to my heart and was song at ear of my heart.It matched with the sermon i heard this morning and i have to picked it as my song of the week.

I noted something in his sermon, he said that when his wife wanted to give birth to a baby, there was birth complication and the doctor were advising on surgery or something like that.My ears blew open.I wanted to hear all in and out and thank God he said all,however i am not going to tell you all he said ,but let me tell you the caption points.

In the midst of the problem, one of his boss called him on phone that there was a woman somewhere who could help in child safe delivery.His wife was a bit reluctant in going but he  ensure that they got there. To their chagrin, the woman assured them of safe delivery , only if, the pregnant woman is going to eat some concoction.Trapped but relying on God they left there  without consenting to allowing the woman to make concoctions for her to eat.He obey the injunction of the Lord, as it written that one should not follow after a medium or witchcraft and sorcery.The woman later delivered the baby safe and sound.

This year we are to trust only in God only for trusting in man and gods will bring failure, disappointment and evil covenants.The unborn child would have entered into spiritual evil  covenant    which will not augur well with the child's future.

What applied to the goose also apply to the gander Obedience to the Lord's injunction is paramount .We should be wary of our dark corners  sin. We who don't have sex do we masturbate? We who don't fight do we keep malice.We who don't commit fornication and adultery do we tempt? The Lord help us.

Glory be to the Lord  for his grace has ushered us into the new year. Happy new year all. Happy 2010!Obey the Lord. Refrain from all dark corner's sin and you shall prosper.We will enjoy the presence of God the divine,his joy and presence shall cheer us.In the midst of tempest we have him at our side and our obedience to him will make our toils fruitful. Hallelujah.Pray for somebody today to Obey!
