GUEST WRITER - ONLY CHRIST GIVES LIFE

Written by a lovely lady I know on 26th June 09, 11:50pm

24 hours ago, I got the sad news that the King of Pop was dead. So many people expressed great sadness at a great loss of a man who made such a difference in their lives. I got calls from people who do not normally call me, called me late in the evening to let me know of the sad news. This man is a man who as among other achievements, still holds the title of the world’s best selling album for an album sold over 25 years ago.

During all the tributes on the many TV stations – music and otherwise, it came to me. So many people are moaning his death but what has he actually done for you and I. I am not trying to be derogatory or make his accomplishments seem less than what they actually are, but it begs the question. How much of an impact did he actually make on my life that people who have never met him, see him as an idol and father figure?

There is a man who died at approximately the age of 33 and yet in his 33 years of life, saved a lot more lives than Michael Jackson sold records. In his short life, this man saved many lives. This man is still saving lives today. This man is Jesus Christ. Jesus died for you and I so that we can live and have life abundantly. He brought himself down to live a life like a human, so we can have an example to follow. So that he could be the Living Sacrifice that was needed for all the lives that needed to be saved. He endured a lot of pain so that we do not have to. He endured the most humiliating death so that we don’t have to endure the most humiliating life. He died so that we may live.

Do not get me wrong, I am not saying that Michael Jackson’s life is any less important than the next man. He was a great music icon and he will be greatly missed by many, including myself. I am just saying that before we start to make idols of such a man, before we make him into our father figure in our lives, let us put his life into context. Does what he has done in this world, warrant his being an idol icon to many people’s lives. Sadly no. If for only one simple fact – his life and death has not given me life. It has provided me with many moments of joy, laughter, amusement, amazement, and lots of dancing. It is a great tragedy that the world has lost such a talented human being, however for me to think of him as my idol? Father figure? Not for me. That is reserved for Christ Jesus alone and no other person.


Word of the day...
John 10v10 - The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

BEST BELIEVE IT...

There's a God!!!! The Alpha and Omega!! The Beginning and the End (Rev 1v8)!!!!Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.In him was life, and that life was the light of men (John 1v3,4).


Word of the day...
Psalm 14v1a - The fool says in his heart,"There is no God.".....

WHO'S LIFE IS IT ANYWAY?

Ok..check this...you are talking to a friend about an issue that concerns you, and your friend advises you against the decision you want to make..You get upset and snap at your friend.."I'm gonna do what I want, it's my life isn't it?"..

Err..I've got news for you...No,it's not your life and the One who owns it can demand for it at any time!!I don't mean to scare you, please don't get me wrong. I guess all I'm trying to say is this, never make plans for tomorrow,or even the next minute without putting God in the picture! Check out the story of the rich fool in Luke 12v16-20:

¹⁶ And he told them this parable: "The ground of a certain rich man produced a good crop. 

¹⁷He thought to himself, 'What shall I do? I have no place to store my crops.'

¹⁸"Then he said, 'This is what I'll do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods. 

¹⁹ And I'll say to myself, "You have plenty of good things laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry."

²⁰"But God said to him, 'You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?' 

We need to be careful how we make plans...I say this because I have come to learn the hard way and as such speak from experience. We are on borrowed time here on earth, and knowing that as a fact can and will help us understand why we need to take it all back to God. It very easy to run on the fuel of emotions and excitement, I know because I have been there. When we reach such a point, everything fabulous that we see will seem to point towards that "good" decision we feel we have made, every bible verse or passage we read will seem to speak to us positively about that "good" decision we have made. But did we really commit it to God in the first place? Or did we just assume God knows and as such it's all sorted? God loves it when we talk to Him. Like any relationship or friendship, communication is key. 

Just like Apostle Paul said in Philippians 3v12 - "I don’t mean to say that I have already achieved these things or that I have already reached perfection. But I press on to possess that perfection for which Christ Jesus first possessed me. ¹³ No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, ¹⁴ I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us." I am yet to master this as well, and I am learning everyday to do so. The great thing about this God we're talking about is that you can ask Him for grace to be able to commit all to Him. He is so fabulous that He can guide your every single step. I have made mistakes in this area as well...ooooh I have made mistakes but I am grateful and forever thankful that the God I serve forgives and redeems.

Why not give it a try because at the end of the day, it's God's life ANYWAY not yours!!!!

Have a fab weekend and God bless...

Word of the day...

Galatians 3v3, 4 - How foolish can you be? After starting your Christian lives in the Spirit, why are you now trying to become perfect by your own human effort? Have you experienced so much for nothing? Surely it was not in vain, was it? (NLT)

HOW CAN ANYONE LIVE WITHOUT GOD?

This is the question I seem to be asking myself lately due to recent events in my personal life...and the reason I ask is because without God in my life right now and the people he has placed in my life, I would not be able to face another day with a smile on my face. Knowing that He is my Father, and He really does have my back..and that "he shall give his angels charge over me, to keep me in all my ways" (Psalm 91v11) is enough reason to wake up with a praise and a thank you on my lips. It really is not a cliche, God is good ALL the time...and once you've experienced His love, awesomeness, goodness, mercy, grace, LOVE, LOVE,LOVE,LOVE...you really cannot go anywhere else...No matter what happens (and like I always tell Him) I can only come back to Him cos there's no where else I can go...Nobody will ever know me as much as God knows me...Nobody will ever know you as much as God knows you...

In Isaiah 49v16a God says "See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands..." So He knows our name, knows our every thought, sees every tear that falls.....and hears us when we call Him...even after we may have fallen short, even after we have nailed Him continuously to the cross...when we come with true remorse and ask for forgiveness, He still forgives us!! Where can you ever find One like that?

So today, the song my heart is singing is "Love You So Much" by Hillsong United cos really, I cannot but love this God who has redeemed me and taken me back even after all my shortcomings. Nobody said it would be easy to be a believer because living as a believer in this harsh world is a bit like pulling out your tooth with a plier but you know what? "He promised that He will be with us till the end of this age" (Matthew 28v20).

So...have you been yearning to know this God a lot more and dedicate your life fully to Him but you're unsure how you can make it in this world we live in where everything that seems like the norm is actually not? Please find your way to God because in Him, everything will make sense, in Him you can really begin to live and not just exist, in Him you can and will achieve anything!

Are you a believer and struggling with certain habits or sins?Take your burdens to the Lord and leave it there...approach His throne of grace with a broken spirit and a contrite heart, which the Lord will never despise...He's waiting....waiting...

I'll leave you with the lyrics of the song my heart has been singing all day....

LOVE YOU SO MUCH (Hillsong United)
Hear this praises from a grateful heart
Each time I think of You The praises start
Love You so much, Jesus
Love You so much

Lord, I love You, my soul sings
In Your presence
Carried on Your wings
Love You so much, Jesus
Love You so much

Chorus
How my soul longs for you
Longs to worship You forever
In Your power and majesty
Lift my hands, lift my heart
Lift my voice towards the heavens
For You are my sun and shield

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Well,it's better late than never...so HAPPY NEW YEAR to you wonderful people who come by my blog....I pray God's will would be done in every individual life this year IJN!!!

I am currently going through a phase in my life where I need so much grace...I recently listened to Lisa McClendon's "Grace Grace Grace" and it really got me thinking a lot about God's grace.

I'm currently working on a piece about grace and I will be posting it on this blog in the next few days and I pray it would minister to someone out there just as I believe it would minister to me.

Have a blessed weekend.
