The experiences of simplicities!

Reflections:

Php 1:20-21 
According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death.

 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

Nothing is worth dying for in this world no matter what it may seem to be. No gold or silver can ever give that blessed and living hope that burns deeper than all earthly desires and passions. Nothing compares! Scars and wounds that may never heal in time but in eternity have we all acquired needlessly. I once desired and loved the most beautiful woman eyes can see but death took her away from me. I once had the most beautiful and sweetest daughter any man could wish for yet death took her away from me. I never thought I could recover though the scars and pains stubbornly still linger. In the midst of that, I took a trip to get out of it all but on my return my landlord had emptied my fully furnished apartment leaving me no pin. Whether the man and his wife sold or discarded or took them all to themselves only God knows.
I have been through the school of pain and grief. I have been through the valleys of the shadows of death. I have been through the terrible deep abyss of sorrow and agony. I have seen betrayal of kit and kin and friends and foes alike. I have wondered and wandered in the wilderness of loneliness and emptiness more than i could imagine. I have travailed to the point of wishing if only I could be spared seeing the sun rise the next day.
For me this is part of the mysteries and experiences of life on this side of eternity. For me this is the path that leads us away from the silhouette into the eternal realities. I can not hasten nothing and i can not slow the hand of the weaver or hold back the hand of the potter. He is designing and polishing us to fit into a glorious purpose beyond this life. How could I inherit the fulness of joy if I had never been acquainted with the depths of grief and sorrow? How could I know love if I never saw the fury of hatred and envy? Oh the list goes on and on and on.
Let us pause and reflect on another day...
I love you all who read this from my heart

AFRICA! ARISE AND AMAZE THOSE WHO GAZE AT YOU!

AFRICA: Your time is Now!

Africa shall overcome Ebola. Yes many have been wasted. The world does not care. Soon the nations will see the rise of this "dark" continent and shall be in awe. I love Africa. Why will I not love thee O Africa? You fed and nourished the nations with your natural resources. You are still the jewel of continents to me.
Arise Africa!
Amaze them who gaze at you!
Your time is now!

Zep 3:10 
From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia my suppliants, even the daughter of my dispersed, shall bring mine offering.

Africa your prayers shall heal the nations.
The Nations shall come to Africa for supplications that the nations of the earth might be healed!
In you Israel came for refuge!
In you the Messiah was protected and preserved!
In you the seed of Abraham found succor in the time of the holocaust!

Africa, arise and amaze them who gaze at you!
Your time is now!

Listen to the voice of your children calling!
From the tops of Kilimanjaro, Meru and Karisimbi
to the streams of the Nile,Congo, Limpopo and Zambezi
Echoes the heartbeat of the ones born in you!

Africa my Africa, you are the cradle and future of civilization
That which found its origin in you
Shall without fail find its consummation in thee!
Africa, Arise and amaze those who gaze at you
Your time is now!

OF FANCIFUL CLICHES!

Listen Saints, the mystery of iniquity is already in operation not just in the world but in the churches and ministries of this hour!
Believe this if you would, it is of the Lord that the people be swayed and deceived by the mystery of iniquity because they have no love of the truth!

2Thessalonians 2:7 - 12

For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way............
......  And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.  And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

This is the time to discern the truth and hearken to the voice of life from the Eternal Spirit. We must now discern the hour and the present condition of the church. Enough of the cliches and the rhetoric!!!

Seek the truth now!
Get out of religion now!!
Embrace eternal life in Christ now!!!

- Apostle Patrice Yehuda

My Reflections!

My Reflections:
I do not understand how the saints feel when they go sending good wishes and even celebrating the feasts of Islam. What are we really thinking? What does Christ think of us? Have we not become partakers of the same idolatrous feasts and so betrayed our Lord who bought us with his own blood? How come the true feasts of the Lord we have turned away from and despised? Where in the world now are the true keepers of the Word of Truth and who are not seeking to be approved of this world? Why do we seek the friendship of the world while compromising and sacrificing the true vital and living faith which was once delivered to the saints of old? Are we now better than the saints of old or are we now the apostate and reprobate silver of this last times? Do we think by felicitating with those who serve strange and foreign gods we will win them over or receive their approval over the approval of the Lord?
We are gradually losing our salt and becoming more conformable to this world. We put a seal on their sacrifices and share in their bloody feasts of abominable idolatry? Let us turn and repent while it is still called today!
This are my reflections and they are of my very deep convictions with no apologies to any one or group whatsoever!

WHERE ARE THE FATHERS?

WHERE ARE THE FATHERS?
I remember sometime ago when the Lord began to speak to me about this fatherless generation, my heart really sank to think of it in the light given.
The men are ceasing to be men. There are no more fathers! They are just men who have no faintest idea of the Fatherhood of God that they must replicate on this earth. The men are to be protectors and defenders and preservers of each family unit there was. The men as fathers are to be priests of the home and upholders of the covenant relationship with God. The men as fathers are to be the first defense against any apostacy or falling away or rebellion that will bring ruin to the family. The men as fathers are to hold up the standards of morality in their family and in the society at large. The men as fathers are to learn the laws and statutes of Jehovah and to teach and communicate same to their families.

Gen 18:19
For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.

1Ch 28:9
And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind: for the LORD searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts: if thou seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off for ever.

Where are the men today who the Father in heaven has trusted with the raising of their families and homes after the eternal pattern and ordinance? Where are the real and true fathers gone? Are they slain in the streets by drugs and alcohol? Have they been pierced by the arrows of whorish women that they are mortally wounded? Have they embraced strange and lewd desires and passions which have caused them to wander out of the way leaving the women and the children vulnerable and defenseless in the face of a wicked and diabolical adversary of the human race?

Why have the men abdicated their sacred and eternal duties as fathers in these dying generation? Where are the real fathers gone? Only real and true godly men can be fathers. Only those who understand the mystery of the Fatherhood of God can truly be fathers. I spoke to my congregation and said Adam taught Eve everything she knew. Adam taught Eve how to cook and tend the various crops in the garden with him. Adam transferred knowledge to Eve of all that was in creation. I have seen men make excuses why they can not cook. As a young little child I saw that my father was a better cook than my own mother and I saw as my mother struggled to cook and measure up to the high culinary standards of my father. I learned from my father and I learned very well that the man was created to have all knowledge to communicate to his family.  It was my father who taught me my first "Gentle Jesus,meek and mild" prayer. It was my father who never failed to take me by the hand to church every Sunday that instilled in me the spirit of devotion.

Men arise you are the fathers and custodians of the mystery of God. God called Adam. God called Noah. God called Abraham. God called Moses. God called Samuel. God called David. it was only in instances where the men failed to arise that the women are forced to fill the gap and oh how miserable is that gap barely filled. Why are there single mothers everywhere? Why are there children left to the harsh, cruel vicissitudes of life?

Where are the fathers to arise in this hour? Your knowledge of the Living Father is what will wake you to the realization of this truth. This is your manifest destiny as a man - FATHERHOOD!
Let the fathers come home! Let the fathers fill the hedge! Let the fathers defend their homes for the enemy and destroyer is lurking outside the door!
FATHERS ARISE!!!

 

Random on Marble!

I remember when the Lord spoke this words into my ears in Igbo
"Onye obula Jihova kpolitere, gwuzo gi de ya oto, anaghi ada ada"
To my global friends here is the interpretation
"Any one that Jehovah the Living God raises up and plants his feet to stand can never ever fall or fail"
As you enter this new season of life and you are covenanted with the Lord, no force or power whatsoever shall be able to pull you down or uproot you from your sure destiny and place.
You shall surely stand in your lot and no matter how long it takes your portion shall without fail come to you!
Shi ya nje!

"I have so much to do with my life and time that I am always persuaded that time waits for no one. Look behind you and you will see a generation fast on your heels telling you and me to do whatever we have to do and get out of the way for them."
Shi ya nje!

"This is what I know deep in my heart that time is uncompromising, unrelenting, unforgiving, and irreversible. Time just keep ticking and ticking and ticking. We can not call back or approach time with any petitions or supplications as to demand any understanding. We are bound to its ticking and ticking and ticking whether we like it or not, or whether we are ready, prepared and willing or not. Time just goes on and on and on. So make hays while the sun shines!"
Shi ya nje!

"Never wait for men and never chase after men. Cease running with men and desire to run with horses and chariots. Move to another gear, raise your standard and look away from the mediocre ones. Eternity is gradually unfolding and inching closer than we know and yet we are still a shadow of the real manifestations. The tables are going to be upturned and there is going to be a cessation of the status quo. Raise the standards now!"
