IN THE KINGDOM, THERE IS FREEDOM.

I SAW THE LIGHT!

My Heart is filled with darkness

My Thoughts are enclosed in sadness

I couldn’t decipher the situation

I lost count of the moment

I lost count of the minutes

Oh! Hours had passed

I stood still, unable to move

My heartbeat increased sternly

I couldn’t control it

It was too fast to be tamed

I felt captured and in bondage

Still standing, tears rolled out from my eyes

In between, I could hear my neighbor’s music

Solemnly strolling into my room, into my rooooommm, into my mind

alleluia, alleluia, alleluia

The singer kept repeating

This time, the lyrics stuck to my mind

My heartbeat grew more intense

A war in my mind, it is

I felt so uneasy, what could this be? I thought

The song still strolling in

I was too stiff to beckon on Paula, my neighbor

So I stayed reluctantly

But, I couldn’t resist the force of this song humming in my ears

alleluia Christ is with me, alleluia He is my Light

Oh! The song increased in volume this time

Like Paula knew, how I felt

I couldn’t help it anymore

The power in the song was breaking me

I tried to cover my ears but nothing changed

I blew out in tears

My heart tore opened

My eyes opened wide

But weirdly, everywhere seemed so bright

We hadn’t gotten a glimpse of light for months

Although, thanks to Paula’s solar system

We could charge and do other things

But! There was it! Light! Oh my! This isn’t from a power holding source

Then what is this?

It looks like it blew out from the sky, it reflected everywhere

Could Paula see this too, should I ask her? I think I should because this is strange

As I prepared to go out to Paula, the song strolled in the third time

alleluia for the light has come, alleluia alleluia to the Son of God alleluuiia

The Son of God?  Jesus?

Pastor preached about Him two Sundays ago, the last service I attended though

But! What is He doing here?

I really need to speak with Paula about this Light and what I just heard, this isn’t ordinary

Knock knock knock knock, anyone home? Paulaaaaa! Knockiii knockkii

Hello Debby, sorry I was in the kitchen, how are you now?

Paula, I’m not fine at all

It’s like I’m seeing and imagining things, wait! Is there no light here?

Smiles, common Debs, we’ve not had light for months now

You should know that better because you’ve stayed here longer than I

Debby stood up, pacing around the room…..

What’s wrong with me, she thought!

Debs are you fine? Paula asked

NO! She shouted

Oh my! Debs what’s going on, be calm and speak to me

Then Debby explained everything to Paula, from her troubled soul to the collision with the song, including the encounter with the Light.

Paula, am I going nuts? Do I even make sense?

My sweet Debs, of course you do, Jesus has met with you today

He heard the cry of your troubled soul and came to deliver you from it

He is the Light of the world; He is the savior of the universe

In Him was life and that life became the light of men

He is the Light, that darkness can never dream to withstand

And He has come for your salvation today, Glorryy to God!

Paula shared the word with me, she told me of the sacrifice which led to salvation and the abundance of Grace and Joy now, and to come. She taught me about the reflection of God’s love to me through the sacrifice of His son Jesus “but God commendeth his love towards us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” Romans 5:8. She also shared a particular scripture with me that totally filled my heart with joy unspeakable, which is 1peter2:9 “I am a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar person, so all these are embedded in me?: that I should show forth the praises of him who hath called me out of darkness into his marvelous light” why won’t I? For God is light and in Him there’s no darkness (1John 1:5).

Sweet paula shared the word with me and prayed for me

In time past, I belonged nowhere but I’m now God’s person

I’ve obtained mercy

My darkened heart brightened up



I was totally locked in darkness BUT I SAW THE LIGHT AND NOW I AM FREE!

 

Debby in thought

It made sense that after the experience with the light of the world in my room, my heart and soul became less burdened and untroubled, Jesus has wiped them off from me and has given me peace from within. Despite the encounter, I still have this unglued feeling; I snap at every little thing, I feel insecure and so filled with anxiety. But the scripture says in 2Corinthians 5:17 “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come”. I am a new creature! What then is this feeling and what do I do about them?

To be continued.

Babies Get Easily Sacrificed...

Image
  God brought my vision to something that we barely notice in the scriptures and I’d like to share; One sacrificial requirement out of the many, in the Old Testament which was never left out, is “a lamb with no defect”. Now, our focus is “the lamb” which is referred to an offspring of Sheep. Babies are fragile, so easy to handle and manipulate; with an adult, you’d need a lot of tactics in taming them but it’s not so with babies, just with a tender touch or words, you’ve automatically won them over. That’s one of the many reasons; a lamb was often required as part of the old sacrificial rituals, I mean, who wants to go through the struggle of dragging and pulling with the aggressive Ram (Male sheep). Having laid that foundation, I’d say further that, If as a born again Christian, you refuse to Grow in the knowledge of Christ but choose to remain a babe, being tossed around with words, then you’ll easily be sacrificed to the devil, not by God but by your lack of maturity, st...

THE DEVIL'S PLIGHT

Image
  The devil is always after the destruction of something well built. He is never pleased with growth and improvements. It saddens his heart to see men thrive towards purpose and fulfillment. He is the father of darkness; evil plight and vices are his agents. His bosom is in the atmosphere of disruption, damnation, disappointments, failures, sorrows, anxiety, shame and reproach. He is capable of just three qualities “to kill, steal and destroy” which make him our adversary and opposition party as far as this world is concerned, he is a devourer, and can choose any technique to carry out his acts. Due to this, the Kingdom of God is fully aimed at subduing the kingdom of darkness and taking total dominion here on earth, the scripture says in Psalms 24:1 “the earth is the Lord’s and everything in it, the world and all who live in it” , that is, even the devil is subjected to God. Therefore, we who have received the redemption through the blood of Jesus, the son of God, should never l...
