This is something that we should take seriously as Christians.
When did you last pray for your family?
When did you last pray for your friends?
When did you last pray for your relatives?
When did you last pray for your spouse?
When did you last pray for those who hate you?
When did you last pray for those you don’t like?
When did you last pray for peace?
When last did you pray for your country?
When did you last pray for your leaders?
When did you last pray?
My account
Slowly I’m discovering what this is all about
Slowly as I move with care
Slowly so that I do not loose even one glimpse of what there is
I’d like to see it all
I don’t want surprises
They can be nasty at times on this kind of trip
Trip you will many a time when you look not where you step
I’ve fallen one too many times before
Still I look where step but still I want to see what is around me
Why all this need?
An absence I thought was there actually prompted it
‘Thought’ as I’ve actually discovered that I don’t need it
It’s already there
Always has been
Problem is I wanted to replace it with someone else’s
Compliment is the word
How I got there I guess it was for me to learn and appreciate life more
So as I go down this road I look around and savour all there is
How I taste it all is up to me
My account is what matters
So slowly I move along this road
Come along if you may
I don’t need the company but there’s room for many
As long as you don’t mind, I’ll keep you company
But don’t expect much from me
This is for my account.

Caution
Last week I said to someone that somehow my verse was lost in thoughts
And true to a certain extent that was
I was overwhelmed
With what you may ask
With thoughts and emotions
It all would not have made any sense
My thoughts and emotions were in conflict
On one side this was definitely what I wanted
On the other not at all what I ever expected
How did I end up in such a situation?
I really don’t know
Maybe I lie when I say that
Lie I will not
I know how I got there
By being careless
I was carefree for once in my lifetime
I say once coz that’s just what I did
I’ve never done it
So I just let go
I let loose and that’s where I ended up at
Do I regret?
No!
I do not
Ok, maybe I should take off the exclamation mark
And tone it down
No, I do not regret
Given the same situation again I would have acted wiser and choosier
LOL
I think I wouldn’t
I’d have just done what I did and not regretted it afterwards
No debate
I was just at a loss for words
Now I’m fully armed and prepared
But deep down, I’m not 100% for this approach
Why?
I like spontaneity
Actually there’s a time I loved it and I toned down when I got my fingers burnt
So I proceed with care.

I will joyfully live!!!
I will shout it out from the roof tops
I will say it out without hesitation
I will smile as I say it
I will put my name at the end of the proclamation
I will not deny it
"I am where I am because God has been merciful to me"
I do not deserve what I have
But through His mercy and love i have all I have
It is not the work of my hands
Nor is it my will
It is all grace given
"I can do all things through Jesus who strengthens me."

Learning
One day a friend said that one of the ways to know about evil is to know so much about it
I have my apprehensions and do not agree with that principle
There is a better way of knowing about good and evil
Learn from those who’ve been to the other side
Honestly, that’s my stance
What if perchance the evil entices you so much that you move to the other side
There isn’t as much as a guarantee when you go to the other side to do investigations when you’re not fully prepared
I think that’s just one of the ways we lose focus and we spend time on the unimportant things in life
Our time is stolen doing the wrong things
Our time is stolen reading about unimportant things
Our time is stolen making unimportant comments
Our time is stolen coming up with opinions
You don’t need to learn 100% from your own experiences
If that were to be so, life would be much worse than we’ve ever had it

Don’t mess with the children of God
“And he called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Rise up, and get you forth from among my people, both ye and the children of Israel; and go, serve the LORD, as ye have said. Also take your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and be gone; and bless me also. And the Egyptians were urgent upon the people, that they might send them out of the land in haste; for they said, We be all dead men” Exodus 12:31-33
The exodus of the children of Israel is very interesting to say the least. When Pharaoh finally let them go it was all done in haste. The last of the ten plagues seems to be the only one that posed an immediate threat to him and so he let the Israelites go. He had said that Moses and Aaron would se his face no more but he actually sent for them. He finally gave in to what they had requested. This time he did not out any conditions. He actually said “as ye have said”. What they had asked for was now being granted- verbatim.
My attention is caught by Pharaoh’s last words , “bless me also”
This is acknowledgement that the Israelites were blessed and he wanted to be left in peace. He knew all along that the God of Moses was real but he still wanted to see the power of His might. He only gave in when it came to his life being in danger. Probably he thought that death was going to come gradually, the first born , the second, third….
He just could have been a second born….

Chatting
I had quite an interesting chat with a co-worker today
It’s just amazing what people can share in so much a short space of time
It started as just a “hi, I just thought I’d pass by and say hi!”
The end was a spiritual uplift for both of us
There so many issues we keep on our minds for the whole day and don’t talk about or try to find solutions to
We keep them saying that’s the way life goes
But, guess what?
Life goes the way you want it
Well, if you’re Christian you’ll agree with me
It’s because of how we stand in the battle
I’ll elaborate on that tomorrow
For now let’s look for that chapter in Ephesians
