Born a Roman Citizen in Tarsus of Cicilia; A Jews to the core under Gamaliel’s care;
That great Pharisee Teacher of the law;
The synagogues of Jerusalem my fieldom;
The zeal of the law ran deep in my blood;
Angel always appeal the Spirit drives me; And life after death is the final hope;
I am Saul rooted firmly on Jewish Faith!

Leading from the front I weld the sword;
Arresting men and women and to prison;
Persecute and put them all even to death; Those breaking away from law of Moses;
When Stephen was martyred to death;
I stand guard caring the cloaks of killers; Approving with Satisfaction writ large;
Let death be the end for all law breaker;

To Damascus to complete the unfinished;
Light flashed and down and out blinded;
“Saul! Saul! Why are you persecuting me;
I could only cry out in pain who are you;
I am Jesus of Nazareth whom you hate;
Now get up proceed and get my direction; God most high of Israel has chosen you;
My companions saw heard but confused!

Anania a pious Jews stand by me say; Brother Saul get sight and lo I see again;
The God of our fathers has chosen you;
To know his will to know his Righteous one;
To hears his words and be a witness to all; Baptized and counted Righteous I go out;
First to my Jewish brothers but rejected;
God open the Gentiles to see his Light!

The good news of Jesus Christ March on;
Stumbling block and foolishness to many;
But to all who lives by the call Salvation;
And a life of happiness in joy abundance;
In sunshine or rain God’s grace abound;
Ever on the move to spread God’s love;
No to killing but oh yes to life and living;
The Cross open up HEAVEN Door wide!

Dear Friends! Saul becomes Paul spreading the Good News of JESUS CHRIST. Till death he serves the Lord and help the spread of Christianity through out every nook and corner of the world. The messages of JESUS CHRIST has helps transforms many a sinners into living saints. Whatever be your stations in life JESUS CHRIST can transform your life for the better. Come, open up your heart and let him in and see the difference. If JESUS CHRIST is absent in your life you are yet to find your true calling to your life.

Time and tide waits for none! And JESUS CHRIST who walks the talk in his life has PROMISED to come back for his beloved brothers and sisters “Children of God.” He is coming back soon.

If you hear God’s call do not delay it; act now. Pray to JESUS CHRIST and seek his direction. He never failed none.

Paul speaks to the crowd. Acts 21:37 ff.

A woman caught in the act of adultery;
Was put up in The court of Jesus;
To trap him was the objective;
The law says stone to death;
What shall we do?

Looking down just writing with his finger; Who ever has no sin whatsoever;
Let him cast the first stone;
The eldest walk all goes;
Alone is the woman!

Where have all the sinners gone woman;
No one condemn all are sinners;
I am without sin and standing;
Yet I do not condemn you;
Go sin no more!

I am the Light of the world and truth;
The Alpha who initiates creation;
The Omega everlasting will be;
I am before Abraham was;
I am who I am!

All power wealth wisdom and strength;
Honor glory praise too bestowed;
For slain at the Cross to death;
But rising up in VICTORY;
Resting and reigning!

Jesus is love the Holy Spirit his gift;
The abiding counselor and guide;
Holy and compassionate ever;
Healing mending giving life;
HOPE IS HEAVEN!

JESUS CHRIST is coming soon. He is the light of the world. Not to condemn us but to show us the right path. Our sinfulness is put to death at the Cross. He died so that we can live forever with his rising over death the power of sin. When we put our life in his hand. Our past life of sinfulness is forgivren and no longer remembered. It dies at the Cross. The life we live now is a new life living in the Light of JESUS CHRIST.

John 8 and Revelations 5. JESUS the light of the world and the Scroll.

This is the king’s commands;
Take all new born Hebrew boys;
Throw them to the Nile and to death;
Hidden for all three months;
Finally in a basket floating in the water;
The princess pull him out and Moses rises!

Unto to us a child will be born;
To be king of the Jews and beyond;
JESUS will be his name for he will saves;
And God will be with us ever;
Joseph heeds the Angel and off to Egypt; Herod’s trap failed the Holy Spirit rises!

At Mount SINAI “Moses! Moses!”
“Take off your sandals” and sins;
For you are standing in holy ground;
I am the God of your ancestors;
From slaves in Egypt to Canaan promised; Arise Go rod in hand and my strength!

At Jordan here comes my Lord;
Whose thongs of sandals I am not fit;
Nor worthy to stoop down and untie it;
For He is God’s Son in whom is destined;
The keys to death and Hades and more;
Well pleased His Light will shine ever!

God is in the rod miracles sprouts;
The snake turns to water and more;
Moses was the humblest none existed;
God is pleased but the law is supreme;
At Mount Nebo only to view Canaan; Massah and Meribah his downfall!

Wherever Jesus is darkness goes;
Healings the sicks and the blind sees;
The lame walks the death springs to life;
At the Cross to death with all our sins;
Rising up in victory shining brightly;
All Finished Resting in HEAVEN!

Well Friends! Moses is the humblest of all mankind. No one existed before nor any one will come. Yet, he could only view Canaan the promised land of Milk and Honey. His only fault Massah and Meribah a downfall led by the people he lead. That’s what life under the Law is. All are sinners. Your good deed can never take you beyond Jordan. At best you can only view from Mount Nebo: Thats what Moses life is all about. His sandals and sins can only lead us to Destruction!

JESUS CHRIST is Lord and God. He is all HOLY down to his sandals. Wherever Jesus goes darkness vanished! Jacchaeus is short but with Jesus he walked tall; The Samaritan woman promiscuous and walking a lone walk come to draw water and ended up flowing with living water for her people. Five loaves of breads and two fishes feeds five thousands and twelve basket full of leftovers still in hand. That’s JESUS CHRIST.

Today JESUS CHRIST is at the right hand of God in HEAVEN. He is the Alpha and Omega. And he is promising to come back to take all his brothers and sisters “Children of God.”

JESUS CHRIST is coming back very very soon! Come to HIM and draw your water and be thirsty no more. He is the Living water.

“Take off your sandals for the place where you are standing is holy ground.”
Exodus 3:5.

“Go up to the top of Pisgah and look west and north and south and east. Look at the land with your own eyes, since you are not going to cross this Jordan. But commission Joshua, and encourage and strengthen him, for he will lead this people across and will cause them to inherit the land that you will see.” Deuteronomy 3:27-28.

“After me will come one more powerful than I, the thongs of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie. I baptize you with water, but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit. ” Mark 1:7-8.

After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, he was taken up into heaven and sat at the right hand of God. Mark 16:19.

“Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last. I am the Living one; I was dead, and behold I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades.” Revelations 1:17-18.

Two separate person boy and girl;
Love is what bring them together;
Inseparable where one is the other is;
Two hearts but ticking as one;
Unkept looks and uncomb hairs;
All neglected lost in the joy and bliss;
Of what is call the madness of LOVE!

Above the Mercy Seat I will be there;
Between the two Cherubim in the Ark;
I will meet you and speak to you always;
Says Almighty and Gracious God;
Forgotten and overlooked in the Ark;
Our Rebellious natures and frailties;
The commandments manna and the Rod!

JESUS CHRIST is our Mercy Seat;
At the Cross He gave his all for us;
Till his coming Holy Spirit promised;
Meeting all our needs in his time;
Our best is his wishes at all moments;
Our sins shames and shortcomings;
Swept away never to be Recalled!

Symbol against God’s providence;
The Golden pot of Manna is sealed;
Stone tablets of ten commandments;
Our shortcomings in the eyes of God;
And Aron’s Rod our Rebellious nature;
Against God’s ever gracious Authority;
All forgotten and Forgivn in CHRIST!

We sing songs of love but how often those loves turns to songs of pains and hurts. Love based on superficial charms and beauty that fades with time. That Hollywood most talk about love: Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt-The Golden Couple, Charming, beautiful, oh what a Romantic Couple! And suddenly, the split and streams of the bad NEWS that’s what love is all about among humanity. The best of love fails. A jolly affairs ending in a spiteful brat of dirt and deceitful life in the high streets of glamor and pomp show.

God’s love stands forever. His love and mercy endures. Our shortcomings and shame does not deter him from loving us despite of his holiness, purity and might. JESUS CHRIST is His love for us sacrificed once and for all time to be Our Righteousness with Him. Come! Is the loving and gracious call of our Lord JESUS CHRIST. He is the same yesterday, today and forever. He never fails.

He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. Psalms 91:1.

There, above the cover between the two cherubim that are over the Ark of the Testimony, I will meet with you and give you all my commands for the Israelites. Exodus 25:22.

Saul was an impressive young man without equal among the Israelites-a head taller than any of the other. He was the Son of Kish, a Benjamite and a respected man of standing.

Israelites want a king. The idea does not please Samuel nor God. Samuel may have been displeased as it was a rejection to him and his sons. God’s displeasure has a deeper meaning. He is the one who bring them out of Egypt. He gives them all protection from calamities and disasters. Yet they have rejected his leadership and authority. A king will oppress his own subject and will even led them to be slave. Samuel warn them yet “Set us a King” was thier only wishes. So, God chose Saul and there is no one like him among the Israelites.

“Long live the King!” Shouts the people. They wanted a king and that’s what they got. To be great like other nations has been thier plea. But God Almighty does not want his people to be just like the other nations. The King will be one like his people whose anchorage will be on the commands or Law of God. So long as He obey and stick to it will his kingdom last.

So Saul who was such an impressive young man stands rejected too as he has rejected the words of the Lord. 1 Samuel 15:23. He has everything going well. He has a devoted and skillful generations working for him. One of them David. David is married to his daughter and his son Jonathan is his best friend. A very loyal and sincere follower whose heart has been compare to that of GOD. Instead of cementing his KINGDOM Saul turn David into his nemesis. And to his downfall and complete disgrace dying with his own sword in fear of falling to the hand of the Philistines.

Saul’s life has clearly demonstrated that
GOD is in control. It’s not shout but deed that triumphed at the end. The Israelites had all the right shouts “Long live the King” but Saul fall from grace for lack of deed in the words of the Lord. God’s plan unfurled in JESUS CHRIST our eternal King whose death at the Cross paid for all our sins and shortcomings. We are counted righteous forever in the sight of God. Our one act of Faith is all that’s needed. Come get your citizenship in the KINGDOM of GOD. Put all your act of darkness to the Cross in JESUS CHRIST and live in his Light and be counted righteous forever.

Not to be like the world but to shines for God in Christ is the wishes of God Almighty for your life.

1 Samuel 9 and 10. Samuel annoits Saul.
The King. Deuteronomy 17:14-20.

I want to break free was the plea;
The Father relent and off with his share;
Feasting on foods and drinks and women; In drunken brawl and wayward leisures;
Rocking and shaking his plenty to empty;
All gone except sorrows and despair!

The pangs of hunger goes berserk;
Left with empty pocket and torn clothes;
The pig and his food look more royal;
His Father’s servants lives better lifes;
To beg forgiveness and be a servant;
Home is not out of bound it beckons!

Far away yet the Father rushes;
Open arm with embrace and love glowing;
Covering him with the best of robes;
Ring in finger power and majesty flows;
Sandals in his feet servants serves;
Feasting and Celebration Blooms!

Feeling unloved the other son sulks;
What was gone and lost has been found;
You are hier and inheritor all is yours;
My son know thyself and live like one;
Ring of authority in your finger tip; Royal robes and a master Sandals!

A glorious life is yours and yours alone. Wherever you are spend a moment of your time and think over your life. Is JESUS CHRIST the centre of your life. If not put your trust and Faith in Christ. JESUS CHRIST want to reconcile you with his Heavenly Father and to restore you back to your Glorious status as a Son is the plan. Not to be in the darkness, lost in despair and hopelessness.

We are Sons of God and inheritor of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control and not sinfulness and lustful acts of the world. Let us take up JESUS CHRIST our helmet of salvation and the Spirit of the Sword: the living words of God and forge ahead in victory.

“The son said to him ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’

“But The father said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. Bring the fatten calf and kill it. Let’s have a feast and celebrate. For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ So they began to celebrate. Luke 15:21-24.

The Parable of the Lost Son. Luke 15:11-32. Sons of God. Galatians 3:26-4:7. Life by the Spirit. Galatians 5:16-26.

Heaven is where God reign Supreme and His words is the only Truth that existed. Holy, pure, just, humble and gracious his kindness and LOVE endures. And that’s how Lucifer was hurled down from heaven and landed on the earth and make it his kingdom of darkness. Always at loggerheads against God but knowing the Truth that he has been defeated once and will always stand defeated face to face. So lies and deception are his weapon. Not to defeat God but at least to take you away from God and ultimately rot and be rotten with him in Eternity.

John the Baptist came so that the Messiah is revealed to the world. At Jordan the barrier where Moses and the Law can not cross over but have a look from Nebo longingly. In and out of the water: The Holy Spirit comes in the form of a Dove hovering over Jesus and the Voice of God blooms “This is my Beloved Son. In whom I am well pleased!”

JESUS is the CHRIST the Messiah The anointed One. The only Way, the only Truth and the only Life that lead to complete rest, the fulfillment of what you were created for: To be at your Glorious, joyous and subliminal best. And that is in being with your Creator from beginning to end. From Nebo Moses longing and lovingly look across Jordan and perhaps seeing JESUS CHRIST at the Cross the Boat that can takes one over to the other side. Faith is the key not the Law.

Before Creation itself you were God’s beloved in his mind, heart and soul. You were created with LOVE to reign Supreme over all creation in his own likeness and image. Eden the only place where a replica of heaven is in place was where you have been rested walking with God. Satan came as a smooth, wise and understanding mentor in the form of a snake humbly gliding and twisting God’s words “Did God command you not to eat anything from the Garden.” The rest is our endless story after stories of living a rotten life in darkness and away from the presence of God and his Kingdom of LIGHT.

Full of the Holy Spirit, JESUS CHRIST was tempted. Fasting for forty days, weak and hungry. Satan reminds “If you are Son of God, tell this stone to become bread.” JESUS responded “It is written, ‘men does not live on bread alone.'”

Next, looking over all the kingdoms of the world in an instant. “I will give you all thier authority and splendour, for it has been given to me, and i can give it to anyone I want to. So if you worship me, it will all be yours.” Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve him only.'”

And into the highest point in the temple of Jerusalem: “Throw yourself down from here. For it is written: “He will commands his angels concerning you to guard you carefully; they will lift you up in thier hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.” Jesus answered and says “Do not put the Lord your God to the test.”

You are God’s beloved Son and not just a son. Satan remind you with lies and deception with half truths and question mark at each turn. With abundant knowlege of God but the aim is not to give you firm rooting in God but rather to take you away is the Goal.

JESUS CHRIST is the answer for all problems and troubles of the world whose root is Satan the master deciever and LIARS. Jesus is God’s Son. He died at the Cross for all our Sins and Transgressions. Have Faith in his shedded blood the sacrifice of LOVE and you will live in eternal peace. The Holy Spirit is His gift for you are counted righteous in Christ. God’s gracious voice “You are my beloved Son, I am well pleased” is addressed to you too.

Do not heed to Satan. Let the Spirit of God in you be your guide. Live in God’s words and the bread will comes. Forty years in the wilderness; Manna and the Quails arrived timely. Keep your trust in the Lord with all your heart, soul and mind power and authority and the rest of your needs and requirements will come. God knows what is best for you. In his perfect timing your needs will be met.

Satan does not come with horns and fearful face. He may be your best friend. He can be your trusted mentor and guide. Your lover or your all time companion your smartphone in hand. When the line is crossed be bold enough to tell: Satan go away. I am GOD’S beloved Son in whom my God is well pleased. Your test will not fail me!

Luke 3 & 4. Deuteronomy 6 & 8.

Elijah is a prophet from Tishbe, near Gilead. Ahab son of Omri was king of Israel over Samaria for 22 years. His reigned has been marked as not only living in sinned but going beyond any of his predecessors. Married to Jezebel, daughter of king Ethbaal of Sidon whose goddess is Baal. Image of Asherah too were raised up. Idolatry flourished. Even the Temple was not spared. Affluence and living in luxury, the living God of Israel is relegated. God’s anger was aroused. Hence, Elijah pronounced the message of doom! There will be no dews nor rains for the next two to three years until I say a word. And he vanished!

In hiding in the Kerith Ravine the Raven bring him bread and meat every evening and morning drinking from the brook that run in it. When the brook finally run dry, God directed him to a widow at Zarephath. The drought was severe but the Widow and her son not only survived but her dead son was raised to life back. Displaying all through that God is not only powerful but his ways are just and the best.

“The bowl will not run out of flour or the jar run out of oil before the day that I, the Lord send rain.” 1 Kings 17:14.
With God impossible is nothing.

“Now I know that you are a man of God and that the Lord really speaks through you!” 1 Kings 17:24. When you are with God; other will see God in you. To be a LIGHT is the message of Jesus Christ who is the true God of Israel. JESUS CHRIST was at the beginning of creation, at the time of Elijah, now and will be in the days to come too.

Dear Friends! King Ahab is Israel worst king. Queen Jezebal worshipped Baal and she is the real source of power in Israel of his time. Idolatry not only flourish but worshipping of Israel true God is being systematically wiped out by them. Baal is said to control the weather. Hence the challenge! Elijah was literally the most wanted man for he can only bring the rain. Thereby proving that Israel God is the ONE and only true God.

Today where do you stand? Are you living in affluence and in plenty with no place for God. Idols worship your pastime. Living in gay abandon: money, power and pursue of pleasure your master or only objective of living. Queen Jezebal is your role moral: you want it you get it; the end justify the mean. Let death be the answer to those standing in her way!

Well Elijah’s messages of doom is for you. Time is still with you. Listen to the voice of JESUS CHRIST. Come to HIM. Whatever be your life of living in sin; forgiveness and salvation awaits you. Giving in to God and living in his plan for your life is the best even in the worst of time. Come JESUS CHRIST is calling you in grace and in LOVE.

Elijah and the Widow in Zarephath. 1 Kings 17:8-24.

The world is in a storm of unrest;
Pride rules raising troubles everywhere; The wind howls spewing hales and gales;
A fiery display of lightning and thunder;
Cold and wet and shaken and bruised;
In the wilderness longing for Home!

Glorious fireworks of light in air;
The mighty storm sleeps with the wind; Blessed in abundance and filled to brim;
Dressed in splendour in fine clothing;
Dazzling in diamond and golden jewelry.
Loud and boastful drowned in drinks!

Life in poverty and life in plenty;
A meaningless life if not rooted in spirit;
Fearful and sad and forlorn and helpless;
Happiness in life lies not in things;
But in understanding what you really are; Jesus in your life completes you!

When I take Jesus in my life of sins;
The Holy Spirit takes shelter in my heart;
Making me righteous and God’s beloved;
Chosen to be fruitful ever in victory;
To be the head since beginning to last;
Blessed in the heavenly realms!

You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit-fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name. John 15:16.

When the Counsellor comes, whom i will send to you from the Father, he will testify about me. And you also must testify, for you have been with me from the beginning. John 16:26-27.

God chose us not the other way round. JESUS CHRIST is GOD’S plan for you. Knocking at your door. Let him in and accept JESUS CHRIST as your Savior. His promise of the HOLY SPIRIT will comes and guide you into understanding his mysterious ways of your life and the world. God is in control and his ways are the best at all situations.

The Vine and the Branches.John 15:1-16.
