reminded of His cause...

A new dream birthed...

it has been indeed for awhile that the Lord allowed many changes in my life. they were hard ones and honest to goodness, painful at times. but seeing the outcome of God's power in my life allowed me to realize alot of things that even i couldn't imagine before. indeed, he is good.

a new dream has been birthed in my heart. it has been here for days and months, i just pray that this dream is for God and of God.

i believe in my heart that God is calling me to train and teach my generation to become effective ministers of truth, purity and righteousness that comes from Him and his blood. i believe that many of us are doing these things within our own sphere of strength and influence- impacting only a small portion of the generation.

in my heart i can hear God calling me to stand up and be part of teh faithful few to generate the impact of God's enabling grace to govern not just communities and places but even eternity. God has been so good to allow me to learn and grow more on Him and His words.

i am envisioning God working in the midst of thousands and thousands in the days of my life, because He has called me to...i pray that i may not touch his glory and that he would continually humble me down and always remind me that his grace is sufficient for me.

i am more inclined to think that God is making a big leap on me, knowing my past...i am more delughted to say "LOrd, take it away and make it perish for all eternity."

as much as i dug deeper upon the wells, i am seeing myself sharing this water to many so that many will be replenished and be able to taste the new wine God is springing up in this advance generation.

i can be all i can be, but without God's favor and strength, i am nothing. all my works will be tossed in the fire and be found useless....

slowly, i am seeing God refining the bad edges of my life and taking me to see newer life and newer opportunities as God is calling me to lead and teach my generation of his statutes and power working in us.

i am excited to what God is saying and birthing in my heart...it's time for the vision to take another stage to be birthed. and i pray, God will ready me for this.

into new heights...

The church's influence is to be worldwide. God has set the body of Christ to become lightbearers and soul takers for Him. We have been destined to create change in the cities, nations and the world itself. Christ turned the roman world upside down, but we as Christ's ambassadors will turn the entire world upside down as Christ will release the blessing, favor and annointing to push through.

God is taking the full measure of changing nations for him, he is taking men and women of God who are desperate for change-economical,moral and spiritual change. He is making all things new and is preparing a people for himself who will stand for what is right, noble and of good report to the King and of the King to the nations of the world.

He is making the kingdom of this world alligned to the eternal purposes of the eternal kingdom of God...He is shifting gear every mindset of the people of authority to the mindset of God himself.

If the army of God will arise and take the stand, He will show himself faithful to fulfill what He has set in eternity time to do. God is challenging us to take the step and be not afraid.

As i always share, we as young people plays a vital role to this kingdom building work of God. We are the forefronts of changing cities, taking the lives of the people in the feet of the Lamb who was slain...we are the eagles who soar in the heavenlies with the guidance of the wise and the old. their experience will leap us to new heights that they have done for years, will be for us months in intervals. Their experience will materialize through us,their dreams of long ago...will be our reality, their visions will be our actions. Everything they have prayed for, cried for and wailed is the foundation of what we can do...if we allow them to cover and shelter us in their wings...all things are possible.

our challenge is not to outwit the older generations, and take their ministry and make them ours, NO! our challenge is to move their ministry into new heights...taking the vision further than they expected and in the least of their worries, pursue more of what they have prayed for our generations long ago. Let us then work with them and see them as a good example of faithfullness, love for God and of people...but much more, as fathers and mothers for us, the generation of the young, that counsels and releases us in the destiny set before us.

amen.

Submitting to authority.

As a generation being raised by God to move into the kingdom work, we must understand that we are still in the wings of our pastors and church leaders...we shouldn't think that we are given greater grace and favor because of our gifts. We can minister to others only because our pastors have agreed to release blessing and favor for us to minister. this is important for all of us.

i always minister to people, but i make it a point that i ask my pastors to release me and pray for me, that whatever i speak or do will bring favor to the Lord and bring a good testimony to my church (my local church...)

this is not an option, it's a must for all of us. venturing with our gifts needs the wisdom of the "gray hairs" in ministry and submitting to them is fulfilling the call to submit over authority, especially church authority.

as kingdom people, we are under the authority of the KING OF KINGS, with the ministers as GENERALS, being a kingdom people, we are called to submit to them as we take part as soldiers, and as soldiers, we take orders and obey them- that is submission.

What if they are wrong? do we still submit?

There are instances that we have to weigh the situation and see the cause of the problem. and then deal with it. if it includes a certain group, we should listen to both sides...even if they are at fault. if we are at fault, we must listen to the counsel of others.

the tendency of being over energetic and is in the transition period of having responsibilites, we tend to see it as black and white-with the black as dominant. this is one situation that is hard to deal with, especially if in authority is someone we "despise" and reiterate to make "comments" of their imperfections. this is wrong. (of course, i have gone through that stage...)and it is a bad testimony of our christian life. we are despising the authority the Lord Jesus Christ has given over us, and it momentarily leads to sin and rebellion.

another thing is that, when we rebel against the authority God has given, when we come to the season when we become leaders, we are marred by that mistake and chances are, we will experience the very same things we did towards our leaders.

this is hard for us to do, but it is for a greater cause and will take time to develop, even i is in the process of learning to submit more and learn more...but it is my prayer that we might see this time as a chance to make the right choice and be on track of what God is doing. re-alligning our motives, hearts and works to the FULL AUTHORITY of OUR KING.

God bless!

we speak to nations...

God is doing something great in the islands today and He is calling us, his people to hear the sound of the marching sound and take our place in the places of our influence.

He is taking, from every people and tribes, people of whose heart's and mind's are his. People who are desperate for his cause and being payed full for his purposes alone. God's perfect plan will bloom in the eyes of every creature and will know that it is HE who cause each people to come to Him and not his (men's) circumstance nor any other men but Him.

He is calling out, are you ready to take your stand?
