YOU CARRY GOD

With Mother's Day in view, i find myself thinking of the Christmas Song "Mary did you know". It's a song with questions that set me to think....Here is the lyric:

Mary did you know that your baby boy will one walk on water?
Mary did you know that your baby boy will save our sons and daughters?
Did you know that  your baby boy has come to make you new?
This child that you delivered, will soon deliver you!

Mary did you know that your baby boy will give sight to the blind man?
Mary did you know that your baby boy will calm the storm with his hands?
Did you know that your baby boy has walked where angels trod?
When you kissed your little baby, you kissed the face of God!

Mary did you know that your baby boy is Lord of all creation?
Mary did you that your baby boy would one day rule the nations?
Did you know that your baby boy is heaven's perfect lamb?
This sleeping child you are holding is the great I am!

Am sure Mary knew the child was special considering the events surrounding his birth, but did she know the extent of how special that child was? A part of the song that shakes me every time is "When you kissed your little baby, you kissed the face of God!" Ha! A feeling only Mary knows!! As Christians we know we carry something on our inside, we know Christ lives and dwells in us, but most of the time we forget the reality of this truth; that the God of all humanity, creator of the heaven and earth dwells within you.

Colossians 1:19 says " For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him" All of God was in baby Jesus!! Colossians 2:9 further says "For in Christ all of the fullness of the Godhead dwell bodily and YOU have been brought into that fullness" another version says you are complete in him. Colossians 1:22 says "But now he has reconciled you by Christ's physical body through death to present YOU holy in his sight and without blemish and free from accusation."

Just like Mary, you might not know the extent or significance of what you carry on your inside, but just like the above song and scriptures reminded me "You carry God on your inside!!" So go and manifest!.

"Christ in you the hope of Glory" Colossians 1:27.

Happy Mothers Day.

Yours in the walk...

OVERSHADOW

The word overshadow means to tower above or to cast a shadow over .  Its Christmas and it is important to take another look at the Christmas story. I have read this story in the bible so many times, but this year something struck me and that is the word "overshadow". Luke 1:26-38 is an account of Mary's encounter with an angel who told her she would conceive and bear a son, whose name shall be called Jesus and he will be great and will be called Son of The Most High. Mary then asked the question how all this events will take place because she was a virgin and the angel explained in  Luke 1: 35: "The Holy Spirit will come upon you and the power of The Most High will  overshadow  you. So the Holy One to be born will be called the Son of God" Now here is my understanding, when there is a purpose to be birth, when God is set to carry out an assignment through one of his own, to carry out HIS assignment and purpose which supersedes every human com...

HEAVENLY PLACES

I have just finished a bible study with the women's group from my church, we studied the book 'Armor of God ' by Priscilia Shirer. It was an interesting study and i had so many things to learn. An important lesson i learned from the bible study is about heavenly places which i am going to be sharing. I found this particular revelation very liberating for me and i pray it will be liberating for you as well. For me, there is something intimidating when the bible verse  Ephesians 6:12  is quoted  "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers, against powers of this dark world and against spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." Scary right? look at all the forces of darkness in one sentence :) I know the next thing people say is "God is one your side" "God is fighting your battles"... But there is an understanding that you need to have, You need to have an understanding...

Sorrowful to Surrender

It's Easter and i was pondering on Jesus's days before crucifixion and after resurrection, the journey from his time in Gethsemane to Galilee was something, a lot happened in those few days before his death to days after resurrection. What is our response in times of difficulty, grief, pain and suffering?  One important lesson from this study is that God meets us in our difficult seasons.  Let's start with Jesus' experience, Jesus in a state of grief before his death, he knew what was to come and he was overwhelmed with so much sorrow. Matthew‬ ‭26‬:‭37‬-‭38 ‬ ‭ “And He took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and He began to be sorrowful and deeply distressed. Then He said to them, “ My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch with Me. ” Imagine the soul being sorrowful even unto death, imagine the state of mind he was in? What was his response? He prayed! Not once, not twice but he went back 3 times praying until he returned fully surr...
