SMOKED OUT OF HIDING

So... I got my answer long ago, very typical of the Lord to tell you the end from the beginning and let you trust Him the rest of the way. Well I was busy... and kept giving that excuse until I became plain lazy... So I’m sorry you’ll.

 I got 30 followers.... thank you’ll for believing in me and I got tagged by DammyJewel... for the 11 things.... thank you....

I’ll answer for the 11 things first then you’ll have to come back for the story on the reconstruction process, right after I'm done with this some exam oh...

Here we go...


Rules

1.    Post the rules.
2.   Post 11 things about yourself
3.   Answer the questions by your tagger
4.  Create 11 questions and tag another 11 to answer them
5.   Note: no tag backs and also notify the people you tagged
6. Let your tagger know you answered their questions.

1.    I love to read... I’m partial to books, the smell, the fell and everything about it. If you walk in a room and see a pile of books by the bed stand or somewhere around the bed, that’d be me. I’ll typically read and fall asleep on the book.
2.    I like cars and gadgets and have crazy friends that do too.
3.  I’d rather be by myself, but also like to jist and make a lot of loud noise.
4.    I’m a servant and term player. You’ll always find me following up on tasks rather than coming up with one of my own. I like to serve; it’s a blessing many people are yet to key into.
5.  I love to pray... yeap, anyhow whether loud or quiet or just spending time with others in the presence of my God, I love it and even get teased by a friend of my for it.
6.  I look younger than my age. And often get the ‘really...’ look when I tell my age (don’t be alarmed I’m not that old).
7.  I’m not your typical tom-boy but not girly girl either... I think I’m somewhere in the middle.
8.  Unlike  DammyJewel ... I’d rather mathematics than English... Kai whoever passed English in school sef? And yeap I’d rather pidgin than proper English. Lol.
9.   I love music... It lifts my spirit any day any time.
10.  I dislike dull conversations, kai... 'if some people talk today; you go just de wonder'...*very dull*, mschew... Please give me some intelligent talk abeg.
11.  My brother’s are dear to me... all 4 of them. We don’t PDA (publically display affection) a lot, but we have a strong bond...

So... all done... this is harder than it looks. And it’s me on paper no fake jist.

Ok... Now to answering  DammyJewel ’s questions

1.        Money or love ..which would you choose? Love… God is love

5.        Craziest thing you ever done? I had a guy write his name, phone number and email on paper for me cos I didn’t want to give him mine and couldn’t hold back the laughter, so I laugh at him to his hearing. I’ve never seen him since, probably won’t recognize him now when I see him. *evil grin* not my craziest, but then again, I’m not the doing crazy stuff type.

6.       If you could become a genius right now in what field would it be and why? … I really don’t know, I just want to be who God has designed for me to be.

7.       What did you have for lunch? Skipped lunch just had a bottle of coke.

8.       If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? Nothing oh…

THE RECONSTRUCTION PROJECT

I know you thought I forgot about my blog, but...... no I didn't. I'm trying to get a focus for my posts. I don't just want to wake up and post whatever is in my head. I'm after the Father's heart, so I've gone back to Him to tell me what He wants to tell His people through this blog.

I call it "THE RECONSTRUCTION PROJECT" 

But of cause, I'm enjoying all the blogs I follow and discovering new ones (some very interesting lol).
Pray for me.... however long it takes I'll be back and with a difference.

As a chain we are praying for and into the month of April by 11:45pm to 12:15am (your time). Even though you don't make the time, don't be discouraged for WE PRAY ALWAYS.

Love is who we Are,

(1Jhn4:8=Gen 1:27)

HEARING OR UNDERSTANDING

Dear Readers,

    I need enlightenment please. I have consistently come across this issue lately, "I just have to throw it open".

     I can't seem to get my point across to some people, its like, they are LISTENING but can't HEAR you or they HEAR  you but don't UNDERSTAND. 

 So dear blogger friends (I've learnt much from you guys already by the way), which is it? And how can I effectively communicate to others, so that we are on the same page?

31st Chain,

1 Jhn 4:8

PS;

If you have a post on this or come up with one, please come back and leave a link. thanks.

TAKE FIVE

Today, I woke up with great passion in my heart for my country… It's been there  

but I felt a calling from within me to rise-up for what I believe in.

 I liked this pix better

I’m Nigerian… that’s the only thing better than being an African…

and This is the only thing better than being a black man…

If you love Nigerian… Rise your hand’s up…

I’m Nigerian… that’s the only thing better than being an African…

and This is the only thing better than being a black man…

If you're from Nigerian… Rise your hand’s up…

Lyrics by Wale-Ice

So today, Take five (minutes) to pray for your country.

I love Nigeria… I believe her...

 but God loves her more, He knows the plans He has for her. God never Fails...

1John 4:8

WHAT ARE YOU SAYING….?

Everywhere you turn... "WORDS".... the TV blaring... song lyrics... family... friends... mentors... e.t.c directly impact us with the words of their mouth... most importantly we impact ourselves directly by the words we speak... You and I together make-up the world and if our words have anything to do with the direction and outcome of our lives.... IS It a WONDER the World is the way it is....?

I have heard and learnt over time from God's word and from His prophets, the importance of the words we speak… The word’s we speak, really ‘make us or mar us’… our lives are indeed the sum total of the word’s we speak…

Hebrews 11:3

Through Faith we understand that the world was framed by

“THE WORD OF GOD”

So that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear…

God made us in His image and after His likeness (Gen. 1:26) and we are spirit speaking beings like He is… We have the power to speak to create or to destroy.

I believe the devil understands this principle and so works hard to put the wrong pictures and words in our heads’ (by suggesting via events and people around us), so as to keep us trapped saying the wrong things… 
Have you ever noticed how, ‘the more you speak about a bad situation, the worse it becomes’… We never speak to describe our situation we speak to change it…

We must realize that it is not just the positive words we speak in church, when our Pastor leads us in a confession, but the words that come out of our mouths on a regular basis.

When faced with real life circumstances (about our health, children, husband, wife, finances, country,… e.t.c) what do we say…?

Do we speak God’s word back to Him, consequently creating by His powerful words (Heb 1:3) or do we speak defeat…?

You may ask, "how do I speak to this situation I'm in"? 

I'd say... the same way Jesus spoke to the fig tree, to the storm, to the dead damsel, to blind eyes, to demons.... (you get the picture...)

God’s word is creative power and the moment He speaks to us concerning any situation, that is all we need, because He always makes good on His word… He is Jehovah (our covenant keeping God). You see, we must understand the person of God to better relate with Him.

I encourage you, pick up those words He has whispered to you and begin to say them…. Changing things around you… changing your world...

God loves you more

Ps:

I would like to recommend, Kenneth E. Hagins mini book, “WORDS”…

for further reference.

"The Kiss"

“The Kiss” by Da Wordsmith  I walked down a path so many years ago I think I'm supposed to have forgotten Because it’s been so long... But for some reasons it’s clear As clear as today. It began with a kiss... The kiss that left me lonely Lonely... for hours I can never forget the rejection. Even by my own father! I could in some way handle the rejection of my brethren But my father? I thought I was going to die, yes die. in fact I died. I trudged up this hill Scavengers looming over my head The hill smelled of putrid filth and stench I was dizzy with the stench, I could not see ahead I was faint   my weary nerves were frayed I staggered forward, knowing that I must! But when I thought of my Father's rejection my heart broke, I stumbled and fell digging my knees into the murky poodles. But the men will not leave me be. They dragged me  Pebbles, boulders and stones grazed and pummeled me. I could not cry... I was hoarse My eyes inflamed from tears My cheeks; stained with lines of flaky phlegm and tears. I staggered forward, knowing that in dying I must! I trudged and staggered... Then finally I arrived at my destination: Calvary The scavengers shoved and pushed me forward. The pain that I thought had subsided spread its icy hands over my body Then they dug the nails and spikes through me Surely, I must be dead, Surely, I am dead! Since I was thinking, I knew I was still breathing It was then I saw "sin" on me. Now I knew that I would die from it’s weight And from the heart break and from my frayed nerves... I died, Went down to hell Took the keys of hell And ROSE on the third day Victorious! I am he that died for you, accept my death and be freed! I am Jesus, the one who died for your sins!

GOD IS SATISFIED WITH US

There are so many things in the bible.... but a revelation of these things centre on ....the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ... The more we gain a revelation of what Jesus did, in His coming to the earth and taking on Himself the iniquity of the world (not just that of you and I)... The more we appreciate the liberty He bought for us and consequently, Faith rises in our hearts (rom 10:17), to live out "His Will" on the earth...  

    Reading through Isaiah 53... never fails to get me excited, for in there, is the evidence of His lavished love toward us. Most profound among this is Isaiah 53:11... were it says.....

 He shall see of the travail of His soul, and shall be satisfied:(with you and me)

by His knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many;

for He shall bear their iniquities.(kjv) - Glory to God!!!!!

Ladies... we did nothing to gain salvation, all we did was receive what He did.... GOD IS SATISFIED WITH US because of all Jesus did...

 He arose and we are "the blessed".... 

He arose and we are "the healed"...

He arose and we are "the Rich"...

He arose and "We reign as Kings"...

He arose and we got His Life and Dominion...

and much more...

Now.... If we did nothing to gain God's Favour (rom 5:17), how then can we stand and accuse or judge others... I would like to throw a challenge.... (including myself...); Ladies lets learn to see others in the light of what Jesus has done for them... believer or not... the love walk will take on a new and easy turn for us... and the gospel will become the good news to men... for they will not see a harsh and condemning father, but a good God full of Love... Mercy and Grace...

Prayer:

Lord... Thank You because You are satisfied with me..... Help me to see others the way you see them...

31st Chain.....

I love you more....

I'm going home..... and it's going to be activity all the way.... till 2012 

I know that most people will have their cross-over(into 2012) services with Family(church,home....)

So whichever it is, we are giving God praise....thanking Him is our focus...

For all He has done, is doing and is yet to do..... We are asking for His plan, not Ours for 2012..... I know His grace is available to us and my heart sings for that.

Wishing you a merry Christmas... (didn't post about Christmas cos its kinda done differently in my part of the world... but here is a great post describing that, I think having lived in both worlds, she did justice to this.... Memories of Christmas in Africa)

Salvation Is Here

This is my Profile:

I'm the Saved....the blessed...... the healed..... the prosperous.... the delivered.... the Anointed.... The One who rules..... who has all power.... I live above evil, seated in heavenly places by Christ Jesus.... anything my hand touch turns to diamond..... when I walk past I leave only evergreen forests behind me..... when I speak dead situations and things come to life.........

      To mention but a few things that constitute my portfolio..............

   Wondering how this is possible.... I'll tell a story of an encounter I had  .........

  

Ready..............................

  One day there was a knock on my door... I answered and there stood a man (ordinary looking by the way).... I invited Him in because there was a pool in my heart towards Him. He said He had something to say to me and we sat down and I listened as He weaved through a fascinating story....

     He told of how He came into the world, sent by His father because His father wanted His brothers and sisters who where deceived and living in bondage back. He said that God Loves us so much He sent Him to take away our Sin (the world)... (John 3:16, Isaiah 53), He said that His father no longer held the sins of the world against them because, He (our bother) had paid the price for our judgement, He said the only thing we needed to do is to BELIEVE and RECEIVE what He hath done for us..... 

     Then He asked if I was ready to receive and I said yes Lord and Prayed....

  Lord I believe You are God and I'm calling on Your name (acts 2:21).....

I pray and ask Jesus to come into my my heart and be lord over my life....

I confess that Jesus is Lord, and I believe in my heart that God raised Him from the dead.... (Rom10:9-10)

I am now reborn! I am a Christian... a child of Almighty God....

 There was such joy in my heart... then He touched me and said; there is more.... He said I could be baptised in His precious Spirit.... and I said why not......... then I prayed.....

Lord I'm asking You to fill me with the Holy Spirit...

 Holy Spirit, rise up within me as I praise God...

I fully expect to speak with other tongues as You give me utterance....

In Jesus' Name.... Amen!

(Luke 11:13,Acts 2:4)

I opened my mouth and prayed what came out..... It was a glorious experience............

   Such was my experience, you could make this yours' too, God is not calling us to give our lives, for what have we to offer, He is calling us to receive a glorious life He has made available to us...

John 10:10.... the Life of God is the Life I live and so.... my profile above...

I love you because He first loved you...

Diamond

(Rev 3:20)

PS: 

• I got saved in my living room, led to Christ by my brother...
• Prayer for baptism in the Spirit an extract from Kenneth Copeland book, can't remember what I prayed then, but I prayed and I pray in tongues till date.

Great Days

Rev Arome E. Adah

I can see great days; glorious days.

I can see days of rejoicing; beautiful days.

I can see days of gathering; days of harvest...HARVEST!!!

Days of great harvest; days of harvest exponentially.

I can see days of men's eyes being on you(me)

and the spotlights being on you(me).

Men are coming from all around 

and it will be said as it was said in the days of Jesus,

"All men seek thee", so men will seek you(me).

Great days, great days, great days!

I can see great days ahead of us.

"Days of clapping" saith God,

"Days of dancing, days of festivity, days of celebration."

GLORY!!!!

"Days of celebration, days of beauty for ashes, days of celebration for morning.

For the days of morning are over," saith God.

"the times we are in are times of celebration,times of rejoicing,

times of gathering, times of harvest," saith God.

"times of harvest, times of great harvest, times of the spotlight being on you(me),

times when all men will seek you(me).

Men will seek you(me)because of what God has activated in your(my) life.

People will come from near and far and 

will be willing to pay anything to have you(me) come to them".

i see wealth being transferred.

GLORY TO GOD...

This is a prophesy given by my Pastor Rev Arome E. Adah. I believe it and decided to make it a page on this blog.

In his book Great Days... He highlighted four things God wants us to know

about great days...

1.  We fix our eyes on Jesus....(if we base the success of anything we are doing on the work of our hands, we will fail)
2. No matter what, Keep Rejoicing...
3. These things will happen by the manifestation of the Spirit
4. We sow our seeds.
