Integrity-Honesty-Truth

God is truth. If I lied, I would admit I lied....I would not say, "ohh I was joking, I was just teasing".....I would juz say that I lied.
Psalms 25:5
Lead me in your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; for you I wait all the day long.

He knows!


Job 23:10 'But he knows the way that I take; when he has tried me, I shall come out as gold
Lord U are amazing and wonderful, You show Yourself to me in Your own gentle way. Even when I fail You, I know You love me. Thank You for Your faithfulness. Mould in me Your character so that the beauty of my Lord may shine in me as I live and be me.

James 1:2:4 ' Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness/patience. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be complete, lacking in nothing. 

Grant me the strength to endure, You know how much I can take and how much I can't. Lord YOU KNOW. Even when my strength fail me.....'You are the strength of my heart and my portion forever' Psalms 73: 26

2 Cor. 4:7-11 But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not us. we are afflicted in every way, but not crushed, perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down but not destroyed; always carrying in the body of the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies. For we who live are always being given over to death for Jesus' sake, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested  in our mortal flesh. 
 
O Lord if I have to count it a joy when I fall into various trials, YOU KNOW why. Father God I totally trust in You even when I don't feel like it. Help me to obey You when it is tough; I trust YOU more than my feelings; they play games with me but You don't, I totally entrust to You every atom and part of  me that makes me, me. YOU KNOW.

What I think about marriage.......

THE KEY TO SUCCEEDING IN MARRIAGE IS NOT FINDING THE RIGHT PERSON;  IT'S LEARNING TO LOVE THE PERSON YOU FOUND.   

SUSTAINING love is not a passive or spontaneous experience. It'll 
NEVER  just happen to you. You can't 'find' LASTING  love. You have to 'make' it day in and day out. That's why we have the __expression 'the labor of love.' Because it takes  time, effort, and energy . And most importantly, it takes WISDOM . You have to know   WHAT TO DO  to make your marriage work.  

Make no mistake about it. Love is 
NOT a mystery. There are specific things you can do (with or without your spouse) to succeed with your marriage.  

Just as there are physical laws of the universe (such as gravity), there are also laws for relationships.
  
Just as the right diet and exercise program makes you physically stronger, certain habits in your relationship 
WILL  make your marriage stronger.    
It's a direct cause and effect. If you know and apply the laws, the results are predictable... you can 'make'love
 .  

Love in marriage is indeed a 'decision'... Not  just a feeling.   

Dad.....you're I in a billion, in a billion you're in one...

ONE word sums my dad: KINDNESS. He is such a dear man. People tend to take 
advantage of him because he is kind. He doesn't mind at all.
Dad is an example to me. To be kind, generous, tenderhearted, loving, to be in control of my emotions, he taught me to love nature, people, and creatures that God has created for man.
Dad above all taught us to forgive, to be patient and to LOVE. He is a living example of 1st Corinthians 13. He is an amazing example of a man who has given up all that he has to the Lord. He dedicated us to God, He gave up his high paying job to become a Pastor and a missionary without any pay....such faith!!! He needn't worry about our education, how we would be able to face the rigors of life as we all entered the ministry together with him. 
Dad's mission statement is taken from the verse in Joshua that says 'As for me and my household we will serve the Lord' and that has been like this for a long time now. He works hard for our Lord and I can see his passion for the Gospel to be preached in all the earth. That every man, woman, boy and girl would come to the knowledge of Jesus Christ that they may be a part of His kingdom. Lord Jesus, grant Dad and Mom the strength as they work hard serving in the ministry. Give them wisdom and understanding to complete their daily responsibilities.
Bless them I pray....

Made to Make HIM (Jesus Christ) known

I am so bless to be a child of God. 
My identity is not in my looks, noble birth or what I do 
for a living or how good I am in anything or everything but in the fact 
that He is my Creator;Maker, my Lord and my Saviour plus all the 
amazing attributes and names that belongs to my GOD; Jesus Christ.
My lifestyle and who I am is my worship to YOU, Lord. 
I want to reflect Your light in my life  
like the moon reflects 
the light of the sun, O my Saviour King. You are all that I have 
and ever will need. You are the only one
that can fill this God shaped hole in my life....only YOU. 
No one can fill my emptiness only YOU. I love You, Lord.

Starting finally....


Friends have been asking if I blog and of course I say no. Plainly because I really was not interested. Something happened in me after I read a friend's blog and it ignite in me a passion indescribable to reach out to those out there who may not know me but through reading my writing and my thoughts I pray that their lives will be touch and ministered to in ways and means I may or may never know.
