In Daddy's Arms.

1 comments

"God arms me with strength, and he makes my way perfect."

(Psalms 18:32)

If there's one thing we cannot resist right now,

is Love.

More than an emotion, it's something that drives us to do things,

deemed illogical by others.

A guy would save up lunch money to buy his girl her favorite dress.

A father would hold 2 jobs so his children could afford an education.

A mother is willing to bear 9 months of pregnancy to see her bundle of joy.

A boy in his adolescence years may steal to get the attention of his parents.

A girl would date an older man in search of a father figure.

And Jesus was willing to die for sinners.

Amazing what love motivates one to do, right?

In each of us, there is a void.

An emotional void.

A void meant to be filled by Daddy God.

Yet it's sad to see people neglecting the only one able to fill that void,

and search for another source love, usually in the wrong places.

Beloved, the love you and I need,

cannot be found between the arms of men,

but a pair of nail pierced hands.

Hands tried by nails and whips,

yet survived just so it can embrace you.

Beloved, when all men could say he was willing to die for you,

Jesus already did.

Maybe it's time we take a little love break,

and enjoy Daddy God's company, Daddy God's embrace.

Maybe then, you'll be empowered to live the life you've always wanted.

The People, That Matters.

""Beware that you don't look down on any of these little ones. For I tell you that in heaven their angels are always in the presence of my heavenly Father."

(Matthew 18:10)

Sorry for going missing for so long.

Needed sometime with the Lord.

And now, the blogger whom Jesus loves is back.

We all have equal standing with Daddy God, don't we?

Yet, at some point in the bible,

we find special mention of children,

and how Daddy God loves them so much.

Now I know why.

Children, youths or adults,

we all have an equal standing.

But the one thing children does that differentiates them from us,

is their ability to receive,

and their ability to believe.

Child-like faith, as what many call it.

As simple as it sounds,

as we all grow older,

society instills a sense of doubt in us,

and the faith we once had disappears.

Remember when you were young,

you placed a blanket over your shoulder and you were super man.

Sit in a box, and you'd be on your way to outer space.

And when someone told you Jesus will make things turn out good,

you believed.

Beloved, the bible says without faith, it's impossible to please God.

Why? Because His heart for you is to give and bless you non stop.

And without faith, worry sets in.

How would you then receive from Daddy God?

Once upon a time, you believed.

Why not now, Child of God?

Dare To Be Different

1 comments

The thing about life,

is that it's to short to conform to mediocrity.

I think more often than not,

we allow the society around us to define who we are.

And in the process, we try to hard to become normal,

to blend into the crowd, to be what society wants us to be.

And that is how dreams are broken,

and aspirations become mere fiction.

I think it's time,

we take advantage of whatever time we have left here,

and become who we're called to be.

To become what Daddy God initially placed us here for.

You and me, we all have a different purpose here.

And nothing that happened along the way was an accident.

I think it's high time we become the diamonds Daddy God designed us to be,

to start reflecting His glory into a society too mesmerized by the wrong things.

All the great men mentioned in the bible had a common trait,

which made them stand out from common men.

They dared to be different.

That was why Daddy God used them in such great measures.

You, beloved, can be like them too.

There At The Valley, The Chosen One.

0 comments

"After removing Saul, he made David their king. He testified concerning him: 'I have found David son of Jesse a man after my own heart; he will do everything I want him to do.'"

(Acts 13:22)

Down at the Valley of Elah,

The armies of the philistine were face to face with the armies of Israel,

the armies of the living God.

There they were,

fit, strong and trained soldiers,

Highly effective in combat,

and being in the front lines, the cream of the crop.

But face to face with a certain Goliath,

God picked none to represent Him.

Instead, it was a shepherd boy,

who happened to be at the front delivering food.

Armed with only a staff, a sling and 5 smooth stones,

This boy charged towards the giant,

and scored the first headshot in history.

And this story certainly brings out the heart of Daddy God.

The weak, The outcast and the Unexpected,

are the once Daddy God uses to confound the might if men.

All the trainings men have,

amount to nothing when facing the anointed of God,

which is you beloved.

David, wasn't wearing a uniform that day at the valley,

but he fought better than one.

Because, he was a man after God's own heart.

Summary of Life.

0 comments

"For I know the plans I have for you," says the LORD. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope."

(Jeremiah 29:11)

Through all the journeys Daddy God brought me through in life,

I've learned that it only takes 3 words to summarizes life itself.

"It Goes On."

Sometimes whether we like it or not,

we get caught up on places or situations we do not want to be in.

And in our desperation to get out of it,

we lose hope, thinking it's the end.

Not in Daddy God's plan.

Whatever you're going through,

good or bad,

it isn't the end.

Life is a continuous journey,

each step bring us to a higher level,

a higher calling.

Beloved, don't lose heart.

Whether you give up or not,

life still goes on.

Press on, and make life work to your advantage.

God knows the plans He has for you.

He knows what He's doing.

And This Message, Glorifies Jesus.

The Unforced Rhythm of Grace

0 comments

"God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can't take credit for this; it is a gift from God."

(Ephesians 2:8)

I was at the beach today.

The sea looked calm,

and I didn't really think much about the waves as it hit the shore,

until I was in the water myself.

The tides were growing,

and each wave was bigger than the previous.

At one point as I was partially submerged in the water enjoying the coolness of it,

I was constantly pushed back to the shore by the strong tides.

And that's when I realized that was how God's Grace operated in my life.

See, beloved, if Grace is an ocean, we'd all be sinking.

And comparing our physical size to the size of an ocean,

that's the exact ratio of our messed up life to the Grace of God.

And key to life is merely submerging yourself in the ocean of Grace,

and allow it's waves to carry you home.

Out in the ocean, your struggling, your swimming amounts to nothing.

Because it's the waves that will bring you back in shore eventually.

Beloved, it's time we stop struggling,

and start flowing in the rhythm of Grace.

Only then, can we say we've truly lived life.

There's a reason why Daddy God likes to be known that He's watching us from above.

Above because it's from there He sees everything.

It's probably the best view, and perspective of anything anyone can get.

It's also why Air Forces around the world,

invest so much money on their air assets.

Because when it's up there,

there's almost nothing to stop it.

See beloved, at some point in life,

we may blame God for not seeing things from our view,

from our perspective.

But have we stopped to think,

that maybe that's because ours isn't the best view?

our field of vision allows us only to see straight in one direction.

And it only takes one obstacle to blur it.

But that which blurs us, it doesn't to God.

And from where He is, He can guide you around it,

if you'd allow Him.

Beloved, make it a point from today,

to take whatever that comes your way with ease,

knowing that it doesn't surprise God,

and He has already planned you a way out of it,

from which you benefit the most.

And This Message, Glorifies Jesus.
