This is how I feel

I have been observing this past week closely and observing what has been trending on social media relating to the United States.
Although most news sources have a tendency of blowing things out of proportion, it does not change the matter on the ground.

I am deeply moved by the protests I see.
I want to acknowledge that some people in those protests are of ‘genuine’ concern about the ‘character’ of the president-elect, Donald Trump. Some have expressed concern over his bullyish attitude and others have named him a ‘bigot’ among other names… these are not my words.

Aside these, what I see happening on the streets of some states within the US is a clear evidence of how much liberalism has stripped some citizens of the US from Jesus Christ and all that He stands for… this is the evidence of a people who have completely turned their backs on Jesus Christ and gotten deeper and deeper into the schemes of the devil and the trends of this world. I see a people whose hearts have been completely hardened to the Spirit of God.

I have read the many posts by people in the US, including relatives, who have reigned insults on the President-elect and said a lot of bitter things about him… some of whom are Children of God.

Child of God, what has happened to personal prayer and seeking the face of God on this matter?

What has happened to laying aside your personal differences; your pride and consulting Him on this ‘unexpected’ turn of events?

What has happened to believing in the will and the plan of God and aligning yourself along His will?

What happened to your knowledge of His Sovereignty and in the fact that He has this world (big as it may seem) in His hands?

More so, have you forgotten that The God Almighty, Creator of every living thing, has the hearts of kings in His hands and like flowing rivers, can turn them wherever they should turn?

Let me be very candid about this:
I have heard people praise the sitting President for his good work and how America has become so free and open…the list goes on.
I have heard praises about him being scandal-free and all that…
…in the sight of men…

But I ask… What about the scandal he caused Heaven?
What about the fact that he bruised the heart of my Father so deeply?

What about the fact that he set the stage for a grand mockery of my Father through the legalization of same-sex marriages and the likes? (you saw it on the news... I am sure others saw it with their very own eyes)

What about the great spiritual decadence he permitted the citizens of his country to wallow in?

I am deeply moved… 
The Lord has given the US a second-chance… you were bound to fall utterly like in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah.
…but He has given you a second chance…for the sake of His elect.

He is giving you an opportunity for the healing of your land.
Body of Christ in the US and all adjoining parts of this Great Body all over the world, it is time for us to humble ourselves and seek Him earnestly.

I believe that if we, who are called by His name, will humble ourselves and seek Him from Heaven, our Father will have mercy on us and heal the US and our lands.

This is as much a clarion call to me as it is to you.
The Holy Spirit is ever-ready to show us the way… if we will let Him

God bless us!

Day eleven: The Authentic Hgh

This morning, I was pondering over a video Tabitha Brown posted on instagram  a few days ago ( link here ). In her video, she was talking about how people were always sending her Dms to tone down on how much she speaks of Jesus in all her work. She said a lot of meaningful things which you will find in the link I have attached.  My Quiet Time last week Friday was sourced from Timothy 4:8 which reads " For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things,  holding promise for both the present life  and the life to come. " It was a super "Aha" moment for me because I found a scripture from the Bible which assures me that I will profit a great deal from my resolve, to live for God, both in the now life and in the life which is to come. How cool is that?!  Now that the premise for today's post has been laid, let me tell you what the authentic high is all about. This is going to get personal... it is the only way I can properly relay the mes

February 17th - ...but We used to be friends....

Have you ever felt tears well up in your chest so hard and heavy that you know you could easily burst into heaves of tears in any given moment? I had one of such moments today.  The first reading at Mass today was from the Book of Jeremiah 17:5-8 and there is a portion that talks about how accursed is the man who puts his trust in man and in his own strength. It talks about the dryness such a man encounters and how this man will never see prosperity.  I was convicted by this Scripture because it showed so clearly that the condition of my heart has been like one of such a man. Why am I saying so? Aside getting my second degree, I am trying to be intentional about my Spiritual growth and about music ministry in church. Basically, I am trying to be intentional about becoming.  ("Becoming" is the expression I give to my quest to attain my fullest expression as His daughter).  ...but that has just been the problem... "I am trying to become"  Having th

Day One: One Good Turn Deserves Another

It feels so good to come back to writing,  especially for this series! The 40-day reflections have been the most intensive seasons of my writing life. It is beautiful to observe how in the beginning, the writings seem rusty and then as they days go by, they begin to flow freely.  After such a long break, I wouldn’t be surprised if this becomes the experience but hey, miracles happen every day! Praise the Lord! Today, I am sharing on kindness: There is this saying, “ One Good Turn Deserves Another ”, which in simple terms means:  if someone does you a favour, you should take the chance to repay it . If you live by this proverb, you may do good to others with the expectation that when it is your turn to be shown such kindness, it is reciprocated in an equal or greater measure.  I’m not sure that’s entirely a good posture for us as believers. I’m reminded of the piece of Scripture in which Jesus asks us to particularly do good to those we know will be unable to repay us
