Blackmail!

I'm sure you've seen a lot of movies where a protagonist is blackmailed for some error in judgement. It's unusual to see the blackmailer leave the protagonist alone...he keeps coming back for more and more and sometimes still spills the beans. Usually the Protagonist has to find a way to get rid of the blackmailer or spill the beans himself.
The Devil blackmails us using guilt and a suboptimal life for sins we have committed against God. If only we'd realize that all we have to do to neutralize the power of this blackmailer is to 'spill the beans' to the one whom we've offended...God.
He's more than willing to restore us to a rightful relationship with him. 'Expose' yourself to the Father ASAP! When the blackmailer comes, it will be too late for him to threaten you with exposure of your misdeeds.

What is in a Name?

Names are generally identifiers, names distinguish their bearers in the midst of a multitude. In bible days, names were derived from pre-circumstance of birth events and could be prophetically given to predict the future. Therefore a name for a christian, can be a weapon of warfare, full of meaning and power to dislodge oppositions. Names are attached to worthwhile characters, cherished and revered with an intent to replicate, hence bearers of such names are careful not to disparage, demean or subject to ridicule their cherished names. Kings Chapel denotes the chapel owned by the KING. Who is a King? A king is an ABSOLUTE ruler for life who is to be REVERED as the SOVEREIGN leader of his people. As children of the most high God, God is our KING and ABSOLUTE leader, therefore it is incumbent on us as His children or "subjects" to project His image and character as enunciated in His word. We are to protect and defend our collective integrity as His children and the mark of the cross that we bear at all times. This does not suggest that we are perfect, but we are conscious to be teachable and willing to inspect what we expect at the end of our christian race. If God is our KING we must strive to live our lives for Him and always seek to please Him, only then can we stay true to His name upon our lives, and bring Him honor. Application of His words to our daily living is our ABSOLUTE responsibility, for His word has absolute competence to save anyone that adheres to it-James 1:21. God bless.

Jesus, the Hope of my Glory

Inspired by Pastor's first message at King's Chapel. This piece is based on Colossians 1:27.

Jesus, the hope of my glory
The only ONE I need to achieve
The Gift,
The Power that transcended from above,
Giving us the pleasure of knowing Him,
And the ability to serve Him
My hope.
The ONE who will take me to status and fame,
Yet only His name will be magnified-
Glorified.
And yet somehow I too will attain my desire to be of influence,
Allowing Him to inspire through me
Jesus.
Jesus, the Lord God,
Giver of all good things,
Able to perform over and beyond my expectations
My imagination wanders to a place where I explode in my gifting,
Uplifting woman and child and all the while making His heart known to the masses.
I seek a place to relay this desire to be great!
Don’t underestimate His great power,
His ability to exalt such lowly things
As a simple mom and wife trying to help make ends meet.
What a wonder it would be to become a vehicle of greatness and wealth for my family,
Being endowed with wisdom and the ability to restrain from lavishness and foolishness,
Instead to invest and save, invest and save,
Until one day,
No debt left to pay.
One day,
A woman known for integrity and grace,
One look at her face and you know she’s been there…
The glow, yes, the glory found in His presence,
The essence of His touch divine,
One look and you wonder where you’ve been all these years…
The glory,
The hope of my glory
The ONE who will make me who I want to be,
The ONE I must seek after,
The ONE who will take my fleshly desires and purify…making me a useable vessel.
Christ in me.
In me!
The mystery,
The Secret Thing,
That if I would partake,
He will lead me on to a land so prosperous and abundant, I wouldn’t know what to do.
The mystery hid from ages and generations,
Revealed to me
That I may see and break free and from the least become the greatest of all,
But for a purpose,
To affect my generation,
To lift my family,
To bring us from obscurity to a wealthy place,
To establish a plan for generations to come
And GIVE lavishly!
That’s me.
That’s who I’d like to be.
Let His power flow through me.
Jesus, the hope of my glory.
