OK… I know that I haven’t written anything in a while. I like writing things that are direct revelations from God. There have been so many revelations and I wish I could share all of them with you but it will take too long. Right now I want to share what’s going on with me. This is the busiest time I’ve ever had, I’m tired everyday but I’m enjoying every minute of it.
Right now I’m preparing for the biggest crusade we’ve ever done. It will be in Gulf view from the 2nd-28th November 2009. It’s just amazing how good God is. We’re advertising on radio, newsprints and billboards. This will be one awesome experience for everyone who attends. Jesus is going to do something great.
We just came back from Tobago; it was a very powerful trip. When I say powerful I mean powerful. God showed up in our Friday night meeting in Tobago. I really cannot describe the atmosphere there. I wish all of you were there but I guess you couldn’t.
Then the services at church have been very, very, very anointed. It would be undoubtedly accurate to declare that we are officially experiencing the revival of GOD.
I’m preaching a lot these days since the senior pastor is preaching outside these days. When I preach I expect nothing less than the mightiest move of God… something like when Isaiah saw the train of God fill the temple. I’ll be posting some more audio sermons soon. For those of you who have been downloading these sermons…I know a lot of you have…feel free to pass them on to people you know need to hear the word. Holy Spirit knows no boundaries and will work though those words even if they are pre recorded.
I’m thoroughly enjoying being a father. Jeshua and Joy are so wonderful (I still love Petal the most though). They remind me everyday of the goodness of God and the love of the father for us by sending his only begotten son.
Right now I’m preparing for the PMI PMP exam (Project Management Professional). Actually my preparations, or lack thereof, are somewhat of a bit of bother. I hardly get time to study and this exam needs study. I have no fear though; GOD will take care of this as well.
I’m seeing so many people at work take a step in the right direction. They are enquiring of Jesus Christ. Let me tell you, Jesus said to seek him while he may be found. I believe that many are going to find him soon.
Ever heard the story of David and Goliath?
Yesterday I realized that we have the name of that event wrong. After David “stepped up” to fight Goliath there was no more David and Goliath, there was just David…NO Goliath. The giant was no more when David was done with him. When we step up to do the will of Jesus we will encounter the giants but when we are done we will not be defined by our problems we will be defined by our victory. David slew thousands.
It’s time to step up people. Right now this is my turn to step up and I have dreams that are impossible to accomplish…but with GOD all things are possible. Don’t you just love Jesus?
Anyway if you’ve read this blog leave a comment or just a name so I can know you’re reading. Let me know that this stuff is helping you in anyway. When you do that, I will continue to write and the stuff I have for you next will arouse the anointing in you while you read it. So brace yuhself.

The Way
The Way
Give credit to God for all things in life, good things and bad. You may ask ‘Bad things?’ …yes bad things as well. I did not say…blame God…I said give him credit. Like Job said…JOB 1:21 Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD. Job clearly indicated at this point, nothing that happens in his life is out of the reach of God for in his world, God is the author of all things….good and bad.
Most of the time, the bad that comes into our lives is a direct result of our actions but if God is our God then he never deserts us in the time of our weakness. As a matter of fact he declares that his strength is made perfect in our weakness. God makes it his duty to get involved in every aspect of the life of the believer.
Our LORD, JESUS is a God of completion he never allows a problem without offering a solution; he never asks a question without giving the answer. Jesus never allows a curse without the possibility of a blessing …but he gives you the power to choose. He said I place before you life and death...choose life…multiple choice…and we still get it wrong. Jesus always gives a solution…the way out.
The Wages of sin is death….but the gift of GOD is eternal life
If I shut up the heaves and you have no Rain, or send locusts to devour your land... If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face…
You getting this?…there is a problem but he always makes a way…an alternative to death. This has been so from the very foundation of the world, from the first sin God had already made a way out.
When Adam and Eve sinned in the Garden of Eden, immediately a curse was brought upon Adam, Eve and the Serpent. Still, God in his enigmatic wisdom and mercy immediately introduced the Way to break this curse from man.
Genesis 3:14And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:
15And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
Yes the woman was cursed but if you look in this scripture you see that God indicated that the seed of the woman (HER seed) will bruise the head of the tempter. What is strange about this is normally…the seed comes from the MAN and NOT the woman. This indicates that immediately in the Garden God was announcing to the world that he is introducing a way out of the curse of sin via the virgin birth of our LORD and savior Jesus Christ. He was not born under the curse of Adam but was the seed of the woman given by Holy Spirit.
Jesus is right in declaring “I AM THE WAY” for he was the only solution given to the mess man got himself in from the beginning of time. Need I say that he is the ONLY way? God has not given us an alternative to ‘the Way’ for there is no other way but through Jesus. ONLY JESUS SAVES. There is no better way of escape than through GOD himself.

I can't see it...but I see it.
While sitting in the sound booth of our church, I felt him. Holy Spirit was very present; all that could come out of my mouth were words that no one could really understand. I wasn’t sure what was happening but all I knew was God was there. My cousin was sitting next to me and he was more or less clueless as to what was going on with me. He was in charge of the lights while I operated the sound and stage from my laptop and radio. I wanted to tell him what I was experiencing but my words may have been a little bit hard to understand. My mind was an amalgam of thoughts, emotions and ideas. This Easter play I had written was probably the worst play that I had ever put together. The action wasn’t right, the cast was too small and the music wasn’t my favorite.
I should have taken it as a sign when the enemy tried with much fervor to ensure that this play didn’t happen. On more than twenty-five occasions it entered my mind to call this thing off. Nevertheless, we persisted and eventually wrapped up rehearsals on the actual day of the play, Easter Sunday. Months earlier God showed me that this play would be instrumental in reaping a great occurrence, triggering something powerful. Still, there was enough to bring doubt in my mind.
As I sat in that booth and witnessed line after line and scene after scene, I realized that something was different about the atmosphere. I had a sure sensation of victory. I felt as if we had just fought a great battle and won. It brought to life the scripture where it says, the victory is mine and the battle is the Lord’s. I hadn’t even made the altar call yet and Holy Spirit was giving me this utterly sensational vibe of victory. As the lights grew dim and the final scene came to the climatic conclusion I ascended the stage to the microphone. With certain confidence within me I knew that this was the moment of truth, I made the call. ‘Anyone wants to accept Jesus, lift yuh hands’
After what seemed like an eternity of calling…no one came except a little boy who was looking to have some fun and a young man who just happens to ‘get saved’ every time I have a play but always complains how his father wouldn’t let him come to church. Is this it?
This couldn’t be the magic moment…but it was.
As we concluded the service I felt a bit stupid because everything looked like a lost battle. I still wasn’t satisfied with the play and no souls were saved. I felt stupid because I still had that feeling of victory, like I just won a gold medal at the Olympics. I’m looking for the victory, I couldn’t see it but the feeling was there. People run for miles and swim until breathless to stand on a podium while grasping a medal, just to feel this feeling and here I am, no podium, no medals, no cheering crowds and I’m feeling as if I just won the greatest race ever.
Where is the victory LORD?
I can’t see it. Do you have to see it to believe it?
Do you have to hold it to own it?
If you have to see it, then I guess salvation is not for you and faith is not your thing. God said that he would give us houses we did not build this should include victories that we did not have to fight for , after all the battle belongs to the LORD.
In understanding this, I did not have to see to believe and to obtain but I began to see. I see that there is so much activity going on that I can’t see and it is in this place my victory is attained. Even though a hundred souls did not flock to the altar on Sunday night, I believe the vision I saw came to pass. I saw a multitude coming to the altar. What I saw was in the sprit and because of all things that has happened with us over the last few weeks (VIGIL…that’s another blog) my spirit within me is now sensitive to the Sprit of God and the things of the Spirit. So many times we have the victory and discard it because we are too daft to see it. I have the victory, I can’t see it but I see it.

Selfishness or Selflessness
I have realized that the true essence of serving Christ is the denying of oneself in order to become part of a greater whole, the body of Christ. Jesus himself said, if any man should come after him, he should first deny himself and then follow. It seems as if selflessness is mandatory, learning to forsake all in the pursuit of the kingdom of Jesus is a definite prerequisite.
Why is it, that most of what we preach obsesses around what God can do for us and how we can be blessed?
A mature Christian should be able to see beyond the promise of prosperity and its lure. The kingdom of God is greater than this. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not anti-prosperity, I’m anti-selfishness. If we as people of God continue to harp on the things we stand to gain from God, are we not becoming selfish?
I see people pray for the move of God and revivals which never come, is it because the motive behind the prayer is a selfish one?
You want revival because you think it will give you the next mega church, not because of your genuine concern for lost souls….don’t pretend to love the lost when all you see is how you stand to gain.
PS 37:4 Delight thyself also in the LORD: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
When we look at this scripture the first thing we think is that God will give us stuff if we do his will. Yes he will bless us but see that if you delight yourself in something it actually becomes a desire to you. You desire things that delight you. If you delight yourself in God then he becomes your desire. Where a man’s treasure is there will his heart be also, if your heart is given to God this means that your treasure and delight is in God. Why do we say that our hearts are given to God while all we desire is carnal, material things?
When we delight ourselves in God he gives us Jesus who is the desire of our hearts. We begin to understand him in the most intimate way.
AS the Day of the return of our LORD draws ever closer, I see the selfishness of men increase. To the Anointed of GOD I sound a clarion call to keep pressing on with the Gospel of our LORD and not be swayed by what happens to us. This gospel must be preached and it can only be done effectively if it emanates from the hearts of those who are willing to give their lives for it. Those who give their lives are unselfish; those who keep it shall lose it.
