1  Welcome / About You! / Re:Hi and bye on: November 19, 2004, 04:07:06 PM
thanks a lot, be blessed
2  Welcome / About You! / Hi and bye on: November 18, 2004, 03:49:16 PM
Hi guys,
I have enjoyed being with you.  I will be absent from now maybe for a while or never again as I may not be having the internet connection.  I have been blessed reading your articles.  I ask for forgiveness if I offended anyone in the articles I sent, otherwise be blessed and continue in the Lord.  In difficult situations, fast (for a day or more), pray
and conclude by giving thanks in song dance or whatever means.  the lord will surely deliver you.  Be alert, watchful and in much prayer.  Usually when the lord has given you victory, you relax and forget that the enemy prowls around like a lion looking for you to eat you up.  Any solder is always alert so that must be our attitude.  the lord told us to watch and pray.  So watch and pray when things are smooth or when rough for the advesary is full of surprises.  So be alert always and guard your heart always for from it spring the issues of life.
The lord, Jesus is so so faithful.  Trust him.  Trust in the lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.  In all your ways acknowledge him and he will make your paths straight.  It is the best way.  I just love to know that the lord is concerned about everything i DO:  lOOKING FOR A LOST PEN; PASSING EXAMS; DRIVING WELL; LOVING OTHERS; INTERACTION WITH OTHERS:  yOU MUST ACKNOWLDGE HIM
You Knwo what the lord cares about you and will help you.  he will uphold you with his righteous right hand when you let him.
Be blessed always and walk with him, it is the best way.
3  Prayer / Answered Prayer / ambassaudors on: November 14, 2004, 12:02:26 PM
Recently I have been challenged about living the christian life i.e by actions.  Our testimony will be much convincing if matched by actions.  Take time to be kind, helpful, considerate of others ...It will take practicing and practicing makes perfect.  If we have it mind that we do it for the lord it is easier.  If you feel in your heart you have no love, tell God let me love with your love.  If you are without respect to your husband say Lord let me respect with your respect, If you cant smile at anyone, say lord, let me smile like I am smiling for you.  From peoples life experiences we can learn a lot.  e.g this husbad who loves the wife despite what she is, really loves with the lords love.  The bible says in everything we do do it like you are doing it for Jesus.  When we take the effort to do something like being kind slowly it becomes a habit and we can win others to the Lord as they are attracted by our way of life.  Really with no pressure with the lords help we can really be christ represesntatives.  Only when we recognize that I cannot do it lord, but with you I can do it.  When you are weak yet you are strong.  Even in prayer, as you start say lord, please help me to pray, holy spirit guide me in the prayer.
in Christs Love

You are in your own way fearfully and wonderfully made.  God chose to have his temple in you, and he likes living in you.  So do not hate/despise any part of the body but honour every part.  Present your body as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to him.  Take care of yourself, eat healthy, love yourself for God made you in that way and when he made you he said ėt is ´good`. In his sight you look good. Grin

Amen.
Our weopons of warfare are not carnal but mighty unto the pulling down of strongholds.
The effectual fervant prayer of a righteous man availeth much









6  Prayer / Answered Prayer / Re:Spiritual Attacks Have Stopped on: November 08, 2004, 12:05:39 PM
In your walk with the lord, you will experience attacks in one way or another.  We are in a battlefield.  But you know what the lord who is mighty in battle is on your side.
But we must walk in this battle with a lot of humility and trust in the lord.
I have mself experienced what you go through.  It is not strange at all so do not question yourself that there might be something wrong with my life.  Encourage yourself in the Lord.
But you know what you have a weapon of warfare; breastplate of righteousness, belt of truth, feet with the readiness of gospel, sword of the spirit (GODS WORD), helmet of salvation
Use the name of Jesus to bind the devil and his powers e.g in the name of Jesus, I take power and authority over the spirit of Lust; in the name of Jesus, and I bind you in Jesus name.  the bible says that whatever I bind on earth will be bound in heaven and whatever I loose on earth will be looosed in heaven.
The loose Gods word; e.g I am the righteousness of God through Jesus Christ.  
You must confess Gods word a whole lot;It is a weapon, study it and know your rights as Gods child. Be careful with the confessions of your mouth, do not say bad things about yourself, future etc
I just encourage you and anyone that may be going through a spiritual attack that it should not be a surprise even Jesus experienced it.  You remember when he was fasting for 40 days, the devil made suggestions to him, but he always quoted Gods word and defeated him. How do you think Jesus managed to live a sinles life.  He applied Gods word in his circumstances.
Do not lose hope, I know for sure, that what you are going through will also leave.  Only Gods word is permanent.
Pray a lot also fo yourself, make it a habit and live daily through the day with the Lords help.
Do not carry the heavy loads of Yesterday dissapointment.  Ask God to forgive you and alos forgive others on a daily basis.
That is Gods way, each day day by day hand in hand with Jesus, you will make it
I know the lord is faithful and you know what Jesus is also praying for you
7  Prayer / Answered Prayer / Re:faithfulness of God on: November 04, 2004, 01:20:14 PM
When you go through something painful/hurting oryou just dont get it.  Why me.
Know you are Gods garden and he wants to create the sweet friuits (of the holy spirit in your life). Just imagine how a garden is dug. It must be so unpleasant for the soil. Oh the tractor hurts.  In the planting season, there comes the digging part (when it is dry) and the ground is so hard.  If need be it will be dug twice cleared of vegetation etc. You may be there now.  The the rain will come, and how soothing it is.  The holy spirit starts to feel your life and you fel refreshed.  Then the soil starts to become softer.  then the seedlings of the fruit tree comes out.  then the buds, and the flowers /U look beautiful) then the fruits and people start to enjoy your fruits.  Oh is is so sweet I will go back to the tree and get more.  You become a blessing to others and to yourself. and you become more and more in Gods image.

When you do not understand things just say, thanks father. Let your will be done and I trust you.  It is for your good, the lord may say to you.
I know for sure, God is there

People call you narrow minded for following Gods path.  What do you think
9  Prayer / Answered Prayer / faithfulness of God on: November 02, 2004, 08:05:44 PM
Through any difficulty I have gone I have come to know that God is with me in the situations and one by one I have been given the victory.
I cannot share everything but would like to encourage anyone going through the trials that
(1) thank God first dont complain.  Send praises first and the battle  will be won.  The battle is mine says the Lord of hosts. All things work togetehr for the good to those who love God
(2) dont ask questions just believe that God will see you through
(3) pray and trust Jesus. You can even call aloud to him there in your situation after all he is a present help in time of need. I have done this many times and he has come to help  me in ways you could not even imagine.
The peace of God will  overwhelm you.  I have also found it good to have a serious prayer life just like you must eat.  Also make up  your mind that you  will  follow the lord fully and  trust  him    no matter what.
He loves you and I love you
10  Fellowship / Just For Women / Re:Submitting to Husbands on: October 23, 2004, 09:34:23 AM
All I know it is Gods will to submit to my husband.  The bible says that He esteems a person who is contrite, broken and trembles at his word.  The bible admonishes women to submit.  At times you may feel that you are right and definitely you are.  But, you know your husband.  You know he may not like to be told anything,  you can wait for the right time to tell him, actually you know when best to tell him something.  Just understand the man God has given you and approach him in an individual way.  No formula is applicable to all because your husband is different from mine.
Foe example,  you may discover you dislike something he does, but do not tell him right away.  You have the spirit of self control.  You can even say something so casualy in a joking way in his better moods, and you know he will get the message.
There is nothing more that will kill your relationship than trying to outcompete him in the headship.  A cow with two heads is abnormal.  So you have to submit even if you think, his brains are less.  Who told you that.  You will feel stupid when you go against his advise and you realize it later
Accept you are a woman.  with a role to play in the family.  The woman is the home.  the bible says that a foolish woman will wreck her home with her hands.  Submit to husband, and you will see him loving you more than you can imagine, pray for issues which disturb you.  God is really a present help in time of need.  There at times you feel things are bad,  just pray and cry to Jesus and he will heal your marriage.  i mean literaly call his name,  Jesus I need you now.
As a woman you are a homemaker, make your a home a comfortable place where your husband can be happy to come to after work  Ensure he is comfortable.  Feed the children well. give them love.  Fulfill your husbands needs otherwise he will look for a sweet thing outside who is very happy to fulfil his needs.(you know what I mean)  It is not about age.  Cultivate a gentle and a quite spirit.  Pray a lot as a wife.
God made you a woman he loves you and that is the way it is.  Dont go about sulking cos you are below him.  It is not really that, You are really strong and that is why a home without a mother is not a home.  So do not strain yourself to be  manlike.  If an animal has two heads, that animal will be so confused cos the heads will be  will be arguing where should we go, should we drink that water,  no leg move this way, no I think the hand shoukld go to the right.
Be a woman God made you, a crown for the husband
 for the sake of harmony and with unity you will do wonders
God bless your marriage, it is made to last and for complete fulfilment.  Love your husband even if he is short, with a talking problem >I mean despite his weakness.  God will hold you accountable if you mistreat or misuse his gift to you that you desired for for so long.

11  Prayer / General Discussion / the lords prayer on: October 18, 2004, 05:43:41 AM
hope you will be blessed by the Lords prayer

THE LORDS PRAYER: Luke 11: 2-4
Explained by Jesus when he had concluded a session of prayer:

Father; Baba, papa, tata, daddy;

Father: approach
The lord is my father.  I am his daughter.  Know this as you begin your prayer.  You are not a stranger to your father.  There is a relationship made possible through Jesus.For God so loved me that he gave his son.  I am a child to God. I am born of the will of God.  Just as JESUS is Gods son I am his daughter. Also one of honour.  He is above me.  I respect him a lot.  As you make your request, feel comfortable, you belong to his heart bossom, he loves you, you are the apple of his eye.  Be polite, respectful, slow to speak and do not cry, complain , get annoyed as you ask.  Do not demand.  Be natural feel comfortable with him.  Be obedient.Call him daddyDaddy, I need this, daddy, I would like to speak with you.  You do not need an appointment with your father.  He loves your company.  He watches over you. Be in attitude of faith.  Believe that he is.  Your father is a provider, a protector, you can feel comfortable at his presence.  Do not get afraid, he loves you.

Hallowed be your name
Respect your father.  Daddy I worship you.  You are holy Lord, you are holy and worthy.  As I approach you I know you are holy, you are holy lord you are holy God. I see myself in the light of your holiness, I respect you.  You are holy.  Worship the lord, worship in tongues.  Do not be quick.  Worship.  It pleases your father.  You recognize his holiness and his position.  Worship in spirit and in truth do not be quick take your time to worship worship your father. Give him thanks, ascribe to him honour love everything.  Your father deserves it.

Your kingdom come.
After worshipping.  The first request is not your need.  It is the heart of the father.  What does he really value.  For this purpose Jesus came that all may be saved.  Pray like Jesus.  Father let your kingdom come, in my house, country, place of work, school, the world.  Pray for the harvesters for the harvest is plenty but labourers few.  It is your expected responsibility to pray for the lost souls.  God want that kind of prayer.  It is necessary.

Give us each day our daily bread
This is the next important thing for you to ask your father. Do not worry about your tomorrow.  Just today.  Lord provide for me today.  Means that, prayer should be in the morning because you ask for the need of today e.g. I need peace,  guide me in my interaction with my husband,  help me lord get the bus,  help me to be a good steward today, give me strength for today, help me read well today, help me in my exams.  Means you must pray daily for the needs of that day.  Any need, he hasn’t asked you to be limited.  Talk to him that you want his help to manage your anger, to be kind.  Any thing you will be shy to tell anyone, tell the lord.  Luke 11.11 which of you will give your child a snake for fish, scorpion for snake.

Forgive us our sins
Jesus recognizes our sinful nature.  He knows you can do something wrong.  But ask the lord to forgive you and the holy spirit will convince you where you need to repent.  Your father knows your carnal nature so do not be shy about it, do not feel condemned that why did I do this, I am just bad.  Just tell your father,  I am sorry, please forgive me.  You will be forgiven there and then.  Each of us sins so do not come to your father as though you are so holy.  Recognise you are a sinner and your righteousness is filthy rags.  Repent and you will be forgiven, though your sins are like scarlet they will be made as white as snow.  As far as the east is from the west he will separate your sins from you.  But only if you repent. You must ask this everyday.

As we also forgive everyone who sins against us
This is the character your father expects from you.  He wants you to confess to him with your mouth not heart that I have forgiven Mary for annoying me etc.  Tell God I have also forgiven.  Shows you love the character of God.  No child of his should walk with unforgiveness, we are not to carry ill feelings but a heart of let go and forgiveness.  This is what your father expects from you.  Each day someone will wrong you so you must keep on forgiving that person that hurt you until all bitterness is gone, it may not be a one day affair.  The lord understands your carnal nature so you must say each day, I forgive Mary and tomorrow you can say the same name.  In the process all the bitterness and hate will go.  This is necessary for you as you start the day. Talk it out loud

And lead us not into temptation
Father you know how the day will be.  You know the traps laid for me.  I want the leadership of the holy spirit away from evil.  You recognize that your father is all knowing, means well for you and he can lead you away from tempting situations.  Your father wants you to ask him before you set out for the day.   You are really asking for the Lord to give you his holy spirit and that you wish for him to guide you.  You say Lord you know it all, you know my day give me your spirit.  Luke11:13  How much more will your father in heaven give the holy spirit to those who ask him.  The holy spirit is a good gift from God.


As you pray, the focus is the lord and him only.  Dont complain but be calm and not in a hurry with him. As a reminder; Jesus gave the example of the persistent widow who was bold enough to ask for bread at night. Luke11: 5-12.  You must be bold and not timid as you ask, seek and knock.


Halleleuya, Amen
Thank you Lord

 Smiley
