"Want my opinion"

  He has showned you, O man, what is good. And what does the law require of you? To act justly and to love mercy 
 and to walk humbly with your God.     
 M I C A H 6:8


     What's important to you? Some people think money is the name of the game. They keep up with the latest investment schemes so they can score big bucks. Some people think outward appearances are where it's at. They invest everything in trying to look good. Are you interested in my opinion? Three thing really matter to me.
      First, i want you to act justly. When you make a promise. Keep it. Stand by beliefs.
     Second, i want you to love mercy. That means you can't hold grudges. You have to live humbly with me not always wanting your own way but learning to want mine. It means knowing you are my child.
     God never conceals His expectations from us. We never have to guess we should live. In response to the mis guided ways in which people sought to please God, the prophet Micah clearly explained what God does and does not expect. The people asked: Should we come to God with many  offerings? Should we bring a thousand rams and ten thousand rivers of oil? Would God be pleased if we gave our firstborn child to Him to express our devotion? God does not ask us for spectacular acts of service. He asks for humility. We may hide behind questions about the Bible or uncertainty about the second coming of Christ. We can allow ourselves to become distracted in order to avoid confronting what God has clearly told us to do today. If we strive to be completely obedient in the basics, the more complex assignment will become clear. ( Mic. 6:6-7 ). Micah response was straightforward: "He has shown you, O man, what is good."

"Hold Me"

              "Your hand shall lead me and your right hand shall hold me"
                                                Psalm 139:10


   Life as we know it, will be turned upside down when the trumphet sound for our Journey to heaven so get ready and hold your grip believe He's within you Psalmist139:10," your hand shall lead me and your right hand shall hold me." I remember how my parent grip my hand before crossing a busy street that two small children walk confidently as long as they remain hand-in-hand. We will have to rethink everything in light of the presence of Christ. The plans, hierarchies, principle, systems, and values that have ruled our society for years will be thrown out and you won't be able to distinguish bigwigs from the riffraff. Given such a radical change, Paul admonishes us to be prepared. That's a good idea because we're not good at handling change. Every change without preparation can create stress and division.Paul's preparation has eternal perspective. 
   First, stand firm in His grip if you know Jesus as your personal savoir. You are in His grip you rest in the hands that that belong to the eternal God. A person seated in their faith is much less vulnerable to attack. 
   Second, let nothing move you. The phrase literary means don't move youself from your position of faith. If you hold branch of a tree even His leaf can hold you. Paul is saying, in order for some of you to set aside your obedience. Watch out that you don't move youself.
    Third, always give yourself fully to the work of the Lord. There's nothing like godly activity in love that gets you ready for Christ return. You sense His coming more clearly and urgently when you are about His work. In His grip hold on, the one who knows your future. Knowing God He is caring for every part of your life that reside within you just enjoy my song He said for my yoke is easy and my burden is light Let Him reside hold you.

Title:                           Hold Me

Chorus:       Knowing God 
                   And having Him reside within me
                   In His love He Hold me
                   The way the things i do 

Verse:          And when i roam He leads me 
                    And when i slept He will kept me
                    And when i am awake He will speak to me
                    About His love nows fills me

Bridge:         I need to be filled within in your love
                    This will surround me yeah! yeah!

Verse:           And there's your hand shall lead me
                    And your right hand shall hold me 
                    Today..... Yeah yeah

"It's all for Him"

                    "All things were created through Him and for Him"
                                              Colossian 1:16    


    Perhaps one of the greatest qualities of successful people is a sense of urgency. You know, the kind of people who just seem to be able to get things done at just the right time and it's usually sooner rather than later. Urgency is important in our understanding of prophecy as well. Jesus could return at any time, and every christian must be ready for His arrival. And it's comforting to know that the Lord's return will not begin suddenly without warning signs beforehand. Just as future event cast their shadows before them, so we will have adequate signs to alert us of the Lord's arrival. How are we to response to these events? We must be sure that our own heart is prepared to meet the Lord. But beyond that, we should be utterly motivated and inspire to share our faith in christ with others. When we understand that today could be the last oppurtunity we will have to lead another to christ, it creates a sense of urgency in us. If you knew that the Lord were returning tomorrow, whom would you tell today? Take advantage of today while it is still today. You may not have another chance, tomorrow you can't? Why? "All things were created through Him and for Him. Only He the Lord  what knows what will happen next.
     It's a little phrase of just two words at the end of Colosian 1:6 "for Him." Yet that little phrase gives God!'s own interpretation of history. And for us the only way to be successful people is a sense of urgency, can we say, including me here i am send me!!! In this two words He affirms that Jesus is the final and complete explanation of everything. Those have ears let them hear! All that has happened and ever will happen is moving through time toward that climatic hour when every tongue will confess the Lordship of Jesus Christ. Every knee, whether in grateful adoration or under compulsion of what? A very strong desire to do something. Will then bow to Him ( Philippians 2: 10-11 ).
     British historian H.A.L. Fisher apparently did not share that view. He sadly confessed, "men wiser and more learned than I have discovered in history a pilot, a rhythm, a predetermined pattern. These harmonies are concealed from me. I can see only one emergency following upon another as wave follows upon wave. . . nothing but the play of the contingent and the unforeseeable."
     What about you? Are you overwhelmed by what seems to be the aimless sequence of events? If so, look once more at Jesus His life, death, resurrection, and promised return. Your realize that there's meaning and purpose for everything in the world when you live "for Him"

"The Glory of the Lord"

   When Solomon had Finished Praying, Fire came down from 
   heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices;
               and the glory of the Lord filled the temple.
                          2 C H R O N I C L E S  7 : 1


    The glory of the Lord is His presence. When God occupies a place, His glory is unmistakably evident! God has high standards for where he will make His presence known. He does not respond to our whims or come on our terms.
     Solomon longed for God's presence to be obvious in the temple that he had painstakingly built for Him. Solomon had soared no expense or effort in building this magnificent temple as a house for the Lord. Yet he understood that constructing a spectacular building was no guarantee that God would choose to inhabit thst place. So Solomon prepared himself and the people in the hope that God would look upon them with favor. The priestly choir sang and played instrument in reverent praise to God (2chron. 5:11-14). The priests sacrificed so many animals on the altar that they could not count them (2 Chron. 5:6). Solomon prayed, and when he finished, fire came down from heaven and consumed their offering. The glory of the Lord filled the temple! God's glory was so overpowering in Solomon's temple that the priests could not carry on their normal activities  (2Chron. 7:2).
    There is no mistaking when God inhabits a place. God's glorious presence fills a place, and it is impossible to carry on business as usual! The New Testament teaches that our lives are temples because Christ abides in us ( 1 Cor. 3:16). We cannot assume by this that our lives are pleasing to Him. Like Solomon, we must thoroughly prepare ourselves so that God will choose to reveal His presence in our lives. When He does, there will be no doubt that it is God! As i read this account He said write this is the lyric reveal to you It is an invitation. "The Reverence of Praise" that the Glory of the Lord that filled the temple. If we think that we are there twelve tribe huge orchistra are being assemble the choir, singer the instrument on that day. 

Title:              Reverence of Praise

Verse1:           Here i am
                       Longing for your presence
                       I'm here to stand this promises of hope
                       I can overcome
                       And you give me your lovingkindness
                       Everyday i live

Chorus:          Lord filled this temple
                      In your holy presence
                      And washes me by your grace
                      This song i sang in reverence of praise
                      My Lord heal me and save me
                      With no expense

Verse2:           Here i am 
                       Praising in this temple
                       My Lord my King
                       You are more than enough for me

"Your Dreams"

  "Strenghten the feeble hands, steady the knees that gives way; Say to those 
   with fearful hearts, 'Be strong, do not fear; your God will come, he will come
           with vengeance; with divine retribution he will come to save you.'"
                                            I S A I A H 35 : 3-4


   I don't know much about interpreting dreams, but I do know that the Lord used a few weird and wonderful dreams in days gone by to reveal His plans for the future. Take prophet Isaiah. He lay down one night and had a very strange dreams. He found himself in the middle of a desert with nothing but sand stretching to the horizon. He felt depressed in the dream just like the bleak landscape. He felt hungry and thirsty and very unsatisfied.
    Just then, dream took an exciting turn. Put of sand pushed one small flower and then another. Soon grass sprouted and then trees loasded with fruit. Immediately upon awakening. Isaiah hurried to write down a fantastic description of the abundant paradise blooming and buding all around him.
    You can read about the strange and exciting dream in Isaiah 35. It's marvelous chapter for anyone with a fearful, faint heart because it talks about going gloom to glory from depression to ecstacy. The good news is that Isaiah forecast this for all of God's people! In Revelation 5:9, You were slain, and have redeemed us to God by your blood out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation.
   Rita Snowden wrote a book in 1937 titled If I Open my Door. In it he described a congregation that was planning to build a new place of worship. Central to its sanctuary would be a stained-glass window depicting children worshiping Jesus.
    The congregation hired an artist to paint a picture of the proposed window. He fulfilled the assignment, and that night he dreamed he heard a noise in his studio. Going to investigate, he saw a stranger altering his picture. He cried out, Stop! You'll ruin it." But the stranger answered, "You have already ruined it." The intruder then explained that the children's faces had all been one color, but he was using many colors. When the intruder said that he wanted children of all nation and races to come to him, the artist realized he was talking to Jesus Himself. In a world where racial differences often lead
to separation and conflict, and conflict, it's imperative that Christian work for unity and peace. Jesus went to the cross to bring salvation to people of every nation ( Revelation 5:9 ) our witness and witness and our fellowship must go beyond the barriers that have historically divides the human family ( Roman 1:16; Galatian 3:28 ).
     Is your spirit dried up like a parched desert? Has the joy and singing gone out of your life? Then ask God to replace the endless stretch of your dry days with the Living Water soon, out of the sand in your life, will push the beautiful Rose of Sharon.
      Lord of joy, strenghten my feeble hands and steady my fearful heart so that i can praise You today. Come soon, Lord, to open the eyes of the blund, to make the burning sands a pool, to crown our heads eith everlasting joy, and to mske sorrow and sighting flee away.

"Your Glory OH Lord has Come"

 "When the of Pentecost had fully come,they were all with one accord in place"
                                                   A C T 2 : 1   


   Prayer does not give you spiritual power. Prayer aligns your life with God so that he chooses to demonstrate His power through you. The purpose of prayer is not to convince God to change your circumstances but to prepare you to be involved in God's activity.
    The fervent prayer of the people at Pentecost did not induce the Holy Spirit to come upon them. Prayer brought them to a place where they were ready to participate in the mighty work God had already planned.
    Jesus told His followers to remain in Jerusalem until the Spirit came upon them ( Act 1 : 4-5 ). And being assembled together with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, "which," he said, "you have heard of Me; verse 5, "for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now." The disciples obeyed His command, waiting for God's next directive. As they prayed, God adjusted their lives to what He intended to do next. As they prayed, a unity developed among them. For the first time the disciples used Scripture as their guide in decision making ( Act 1: 15-26 ). The day of Pentecost arrived, and the city of Jerusalem filled with pilgrims from around the world. When God released His Holy Spirit upon the disciples, He had already filled the messengers who would carry the gospel to every nation. Prayer had prepared the disciples for their obedient response.
    Prayer is designed to adjust you to God's will, not to adjust God to your will. If God has not responded to what you are praying, you may need to adjust your praying to align with God's agenda. Rather than focusing on what you would like to see happen, realize that God may be more concerned with what He wants to see happen in you. This really true. He lead us to his will that i write this song, to God be the Glory! I was just obedient to the call. I was inspired to do this and i sing this song one of the Lord service. And It was upload in face book and next it was gone. 

Title:             Your Glory OH Lord Has Come

Intro:

Verse 1:       Here i am in one place in one
                    accord for you this day Lord
                   when the day has fully come and
                    suddenly there came a sound
                   OH Lord Your day has come

Chorus:       The rushing of mighty wind
                    Heaven and earth in lightening
                    Your Glory, Your Glory
                    The rushing of mighty wind
                    Heaven and earth in lightening
                    Your Glory Oh Lord has come

Coda:           Fill us now           2x
                     Your Glory OH Lord has come
                    Touch us now      2x
                    Your Glory OH Lord has come
                    Revive us now.    2x
                    Your Glory OH lord has come

"Your Life here on Earth"

"And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose."
R O M A N 8:28(KJV) 

  Have you ever wondered what are the "all things" the apostle Paul is talking about? In 2Corinthians chapter 11, he list a few of the "all things" which God uses to work together for his good.
  Things like severe floggings. Being exposed to death. Fives times lashed with a whip, three times beaten with rods. Another three times stoned. Shipwrecked, constantly on the move, and in danger from rivers, bandits, and false believers, Paul labored while tired, hungry, and thirst. "I have been cold and naked," he says, closing out the list.
  These are just a few problems that Paul must have been thinking of when he penned that powerful truth about God using everything for our good and His glory. Our problems seem to pale in ligth of Paul's list. For us, "all things" might include a bad medical report, an overdrawn bank account, a flat tire on the motorway, or a splitting headache that lasts all morning. Even murmuring and complaining and our character is part of all things. Your life here on earth is a part of God's grand design. God has known about you and had a plan for your life since before time began. He knew everything about you before you were even born (Jer.1:5). God predetermined that you would become like His Son. Your life, therefore, has a destiny. Christ is the model upon which the father is developing your life. You are meant to have a relationship with the Father that is as intimate as the relationship between Jesus and the Father (John 17: 2). Every event He allows into your life is design to make you more like Christ.
  God's call came when He invited you to join Him in the process! His call was extremely personal, designed specifically for your response. How wonderful to realize that at a particular moment in history almighty God spoke personally to you and invited you to become His child!
  Because of your sin, you could never live blamelessly. But God forgave your sin and justified you, declaring you righteous. All the spiritual debt you carried with Him was forgiven, and you were freed to enjoy God and to serve Him for the rest of eternity. In biblical times, the glory of God's people was His presence. You too are glorified because the fullness of God now dwells within you, and you will one day be with Him ( Col. 1:27;2:9). He invites you to join Him in working out His will in your life conforming you into this world in His image ( Plil. 2:12 ).
