In Today's World

 Do not let your left hand know, what your right hand does. Do not blow a trumpet to advertise what you are doing, or what you are giving.

The Bible says, when you give in secret, the Lord will bless you openly. There is no need to let anyone know what you have to give. Your giving is not about pleasure or pleasing to man. It is being obedient to the one who has blessed you, so that you could be a blessing in return.

In today's world, the dictatorship of giving, is about highlights and advertisements. There is an


adhering to the necessities of being recognized as a giver. The world must see and know, how much, how often and to whom the giver gives.

There is an old adage that says.. a secret is only a secret, when it is secretly kept in God. A man's ways will only please the Lord, when he is obedient TO the Lord. Sacrifices without obedience, means nothing... because the sacrifice was not in obedience to the will and word of the Lord.

Where do you fit in? Are you an advertiser of your giving? Do you give for notoriety and recognition? Do you want the strumming of musical instruments to make a tinkling symbolic sound, so that the world might look up and pay attention? Are you puffed up in pride and adoration of yourself, in your belief that you are better than others? Or are you dressed in humility, adorned in the grace of God, to be obedient to HIS statutes and commands?

Hungry Days and Lonely Nights

Image
 I choose to walk, the narrow way.. With all my heart and with all I say. The sword in my heart and the Word in my mouth.. Continuously witness, against fear and doubt. I am sold out to, the Lord Most High.. Who quickens my spirit and hears my cry. Master of sound and healer of the sick.. Is there to shield me, against the devil's trick. The path I walk, is not for all.. For only the chosen, will heed the call. Through hungry days and lonely nights.. Goodness and mercy, are my guiding lights. To follow the crowd, was not my command.. While harvest time, is in such demand. Where the rivers flow, I have yet to know.. But I labour as I tarry and sow seeds for to grow. The forces of darkness, might rage at me.. But as a carrier of the anointing, I am quickened and free. The tools in my hands and the Lord as my shield... Are more than sufficient, for victory and yield.

A Prayer For You

Image
 Father, tonight, I lift up your sons and your daughters, in the east.. in the west.. in the north and in the south, in the mighty name of Jesus. Lord, I pray for your touch. I pray for your joy. I pray for your peace. Let your bowels of mercy fall abundantly upon every one of them. Father, intervene in every situation and let the Holy Spirit move like a raging, rushing wind in their midst. Let them be consumed by the Blood of Jesus, in every area of their lives. Heavenly Father, cover them with your precious blood.. Clothe them with your armour and shield them from danger with your Spirit, in Jesus name. Lord, I speak total healing, upon their body.. their mind.. their heart and their spirit. Assign angels to guard them from every side. Penetrate every mountain, that stands in their way.. and deliver them from every spirit of bondage, in Jesus name. Lord, strengthen those who are weak. Comfort those who are hurting. Pour your oil of joy upon their head and let it run down the hem ...

Like A Babbling Fool

Image
I say I love you, but my words do not.. I shout with glee, like a shining pot. My eyes grow dim, to the sights I see.. For my actions speaks louder, than who I was born to be. Like a tinkling symbol, I make much noise.. To be seen and heard, so I can rejoice. From the rising of the sun, till it sets in the west.. I loose the chance, to win each test. Often I would say, I am a child of God.. Howbeit my senses, are ruled by discord. Like a slave in captivity, I am bound in chains.. For the pride in my heart, is a block to my stains. I am my own weapon, that is fighting against me.. Consumed and conformed, to the crushing to be free. I speak to the wind, like a babbling fool.. For the mote in my eye, is the devil's own tool. I lost my identity, in the pride of life.. Like a fox in the henhouse, I divorced my wife. I laughed at five loaves and two fishes, in the desert.. For a servant's heart, was distant at my birth. Where honour is given, I laugh it to scorn.. For the council I ...
