Abundant Grace

The man looked highly distraught broke down to the pastor

“I had it all but now I lost everything,

There is absolutely no way is there I can ever get anything back?” he asked

“Yes, you can, on your knees

Before Adonai”, replied the pastor,

Every day big Ben (the name pastor kept for him) would come to the church and pray for hours together

Days went into months

Months into years

The pastor witnessed a miracle before his very eyes.

The distraught man was now so peaceful.

The shabby clothes had become all brand new

One day the pastor ran out to speak to big Ben before he left the church.

“I see you coming in to pray every day at the same time.

How is everything with you is .I see a true transformation in you, it’s really remarkable.” Pastor said  

The man beamed with joy in his eyes and replied

“Thank you for your advice Pastor, I have been following it all the days of my life and will follow it till I die

I have a

A 100% recovery on everything I lost

Another 100% of his goodness on the way.

Pointing to his bible,

I have been claiming these promises everyday

And He has answered every one of them.”

Joel 2: 19-27 CJB

Here is how Adonai will answer his people:
“I will send you grain, wine and olive oil,
enough to satisfy you;
and no longer will I make you
a mockery among the Goyim.
20 No, I will take the northerner away,

far away from you,
and drive him to a land
that is waste and barren;
with his vanguard toward the eastern sea
and his rearguard toward the western sea,
his stench and his rottenness will rise,
because he has done great things.”

21 Don’t fear, O soil; be glad! rejoice!
For Adonai have done great things.
22 Don’t be afraid, wild animals;

for the desert pastures are green,
the trees are putting out their fruit,
the fig tree and vine are giving full yield.
23 Be glad, people of Tziyon!
rejoice in Adonai your God!
For he is giving you
the right amount of rain in the fall,
he makes the rain come down for you,
the fall and spring rains — this is what he does first.
24 Then the floors will be full of grain
and the vats overflow with wine and olive oil.

25 “I will restore to you the years that the locusts ate,
the grasshoppers, shearer-worms and cutter-worms,
my great army that I sent against you.
26 You will eat until you are satisfied

and will praise the name of Adonai your God,
who has done with you such wonders.
Then my people will never again be shamed.
27 You will know that I am with Isra’el
and that I am Adonai your God,
and that there is no other.
Then my people will never again be shamed.

Mother of mine

Mother of mine 

When I was young 

The words that you taught me

Is what I am standing on.

Whenever I had seen you broken and beaten

With sickness and ill health.

You never let voices demean you

You commanded and demanded self-respect.

Though the world may consider you unworthy 

Devoid of any value

You would often say

Just the thought the savior died for you 

John 3:16 KJV, reads: “For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

And your parents thought the world of you 

Should make you feel so valuable and you don’t have to care about the rest. 

The priceless words you thought me

From the classic poem "Invictus"

Will stand ever before me.

You are the captain of your ship

You are the master of your soul

No one can put their price on me

And tell me what I am worth.

It is well with my soul

Old Benjamin knelt by his bed

And with shivering hands wrote in his diary.

“Father, God, he wrote and broke down crying,

Sobbing he continued,

“You brought us out of the danger

With your mighty outstretched hand.

From a city engulfed in flames

From a country who is fighting hard to save their nation

We don’t know what tomorrow holds.

But your word says in Psalms 5:12 CJB

(11) But let all who take refuge in you rejoice,
let them forever shout for joy!
Shelter them; and they will be glad,
those who love your name.

So we will sing and rejoice, yes it is well; it is well with my soul for because he lives I can face tomorrow.

Living with the enemy

Living with the enemy

Is a lot like living in hell.

All you want to do is to yell

Leave me alone and get out of my head.

 

Living with the enemy

You are always on your guard.

The enemy is always watching

Hoping and praying for your downfall.

 

Living with the enemy

Is a lot like a game of chess,

Not to be out beaten 

Each is always at their best.

 

As with everything else

Let’s look at what the word of God says

Mathew 5:43-48

Complete Jewish Bible

43 “You have heard that our fathers were told, ‘Love your neighbor[a] — and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I tell you, love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you! 45 Then you will become children of your Father in heaven. For he makes his sun shine on good and bad people alike and he sends rain to the righteous and the unrighteous alike. 46 What reward do you get if you love only those who love you? Why, even tax-collectors do that! 47 And if you are friendly only to your friends, are you doing anything out of the ordinary? Even the Goyim do that! 48 Therefore, be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.

Dearly beloved 

I know it’s not an easy task

But with the Grace from above

We can one day be called good and faithful servants by our Lord.

When Love is Lost

When love is lost 

All hell is broken lose within our soul.

Total unbelief will hit us, 

 “We have been together since eternity!

Now, you suddenly decided you are better off without me”

You would complain.

With heart breaking and tears falling,

Every day it will be a roller coaster ride of emotions.

You will finally accept the inevitable. 

Love is gone, whether it’s with one leg or two

I really need to move on, you would say.

Why does love get lost? Have you ever wondered?

What does the bible say about love?

1 Corinthians 13: 4- 8 CJB

Love is patient and kind, not jealous, not boastful, 

5 not proud, rude or selfish, not easily angered, 

And it keeps no record of wrongs.

6 Love does not gloat over other people’s sins

But takes its delight in the truth.

7 Love always bears up, always trusts, 

Always hopes, always endures.

8 Love never ends;

Remember through the tears and through the years.

Be patient. Learn to hold on.

Don't give up on the other person.

Love never ends.

Somewhere down the line 

You will get your breakthrough

Till then, keep praying.

Just a little bit

Danielle looked around at her family

All who were gathered around her sick bed. 

Upon asking her how she felt

This was how she replied.

 

“Just a little bit of your love

And seeing your precious faces, 

Makes me forget all my blues 

And all I want to do is look at each of you.

 

Just a little bit, of each of your care,

And knowing, you will all, will always be there.

Makes my world look so bright 

And something to look forward to.

 

Just a little bit of all your time 

Spending it just for me.

Makes me feel so worthwhile

And I almost feel like a queen.

 

Through the valley of the shadow of death.

For a little while I have to go

I know the good Lord will see me through

Because that what his word says so.

Psalms 23 KJV

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

 

And in just a little while.

I will be back in good health 

To spend happy times with all of you."

Victory and Glory

It was the classic case of the misfits

The uninformed and the unhealthy.

"What can we do to change our disposition?"

The young men asked the ancient one in the village.

"We seem so backward to the other tribes

They are miles away in every way

And we seem so left behind."

“You need to change your self-image which in turn will change your self-esteem, the ancient one replied.

Instead of feeling sorry for your sad pitiful selves.

Consider yourselves as mighty warriors.

Undefeatable

Romans 8:31 King James Version

31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?

All this can happen by the renewing of your minds

Romans 12:2

And be not conformed to this world: but are ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

He fights your battles

9) Deuteronomy 20:4 (NIV)

For the Lord your God is the One who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies to give you victory.

Get knowledge

Hosea 4:7 CJB

My people are destroyed for want of knowledge.
Because you rejected knowledge,
I will also reject you as cohen for me.
Because you forgot the Torah of your God,
I will also forget your children.

Victory and glory is His

Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, for all that is in the heavens and in the earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom, O Lord, and you are exalted as head above all.

"We need to start encouraging our youngsters to know His word more" ,the young men discussed among themselves.

“True,” the ancient one replied ,“teaching them the fear of the lord is the beginning of wisdom. Prov 9:10 KJV
