The Beauty Of Hosting The Word
What really made Jesus the delight of men? He exemplified divinity among mortals. He was an expression of the fullness of God. All of the magnificence and perfection of God sprout out of him; an effulgence of wholeness. He was so comely and altogether beautiful.
Anywhere humanity, with its many sufferings met Christ in his physical existence, he encountered a glorious deposit of heaven which none of the religious leaders nor the upper class of society administered from. Scripture underscores that he is the sole expression of the glory of God [the Light-being, the out-raying or radiance of the divine], and He is the perfect imprint and very image of [God’s] nature.
In His earthy presence, Jesus never used the words: ”i love you” or ”i care about you” in its literal sense, but those who met him felt an unusual awareness of care and tenderness emanating from the radiance of His words and in his actions. His words were life to those who were sitting helplessly in the twilight chambers of sin and death. The downtrodden found a new possibility in His presence; sprouting like wildflowers.
Why is the believer not taken the necessary advantage of the boundless possibilities in Christ to be transformed, as we deliberately host the beauty and the riches of His words in our hearts?
”And all of us, as with unveiled face, [because we] continued to behold [in the Word of God] as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are constantly being transfigured into His very own image in ever increasing splendor and from one degree of glory to another; [for this comes] from the Lord [Who is] the Spirit.” 2 Corinthians 3:18 AMPC
Not many in the body of Christ have unearthed this spiritual mystery of hosting the word in our hearts to appropriate its supreme benefits. The totality of Gods word is the multifaceted expression of Christ’s magnificence through revelation. When we say Jesus is the word we are not talking about the words you hear every day from the news media or even from your best friends. We are talking about divinity in it’s purest expression.
These words of men we host inside our hearts daily as an anchor of the soul make us feel miserable, wounded, lethargic, depressed, and at it’s worst a fall away from God.
The language of the world is so often drawn from the fountain of iniquity instead of the fountain of life, which is Christ. This is the mystery of heaven upon us; the beauty of Christ, the words of life. Our Destiny hinges on it’s perfect ambience.
The Apostle Paul, by the spirit of Chrst trumpeted from the mountain top of Zion to men who dwell in the valleys to host the realities of heaven in our hearts. It is the surest path to conquests
”Let the word [spoken by] Christ (the Messiah) have its home [in your hearts and minds] and dwell in you in [all its] richness, as you teach and admonish and train one another in all insight and intelligence and wisdom [in spiritual things, and as you sing] psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, making melody to God with [His] grace in your hearts.” Colossians 3:16 AMPC
The beauty of Christ is the whispers of the Father serenading the heart of the believer who with desire waits on Him. Imagine how his disposition would be like… That man who generously rejoices in the beauty of the words of life; his heart drowned completely into its boundless possibilities. His heart will be filled with the ancient melodies of heaven, and his soul shall be free from the invisible chains of the depravity which have kept down the heart and soul of so many believers in the vault of despair. You can be free today, my friend.
It is the will of the father that we be free from the dictates of this world. This is the reason he has established the spiritual system of the word transformation power. It behoves us to follow Gods wisdom path to attain the glories. We rise by relishing the beauties of Christ, the word of God, with all of our heart, and with our spirit
This is a supernatural advantage for the believer. He can alter his circumstances at any given time. He can recreate the spiritual climate [ by casting out satanic operations that manipulate his circumstances through the word at heart ] to affect his physical reality. All he has to do is to align the entirety of his being with the spiritual laws of Christ, which far out weights the decrees and legislations of hell.
It is by this reason Paul, through the Holy Spirit prescribed for us of the necessity of letting the words of Christ to dwell in your hearts richly. He didn’t say let your circumstances dwell in your hearts richly. Because this is not how we elevate in the kingdom. We elevate by elevating Christ above our problems. This is powerful!
“How precious is Your steadfast love, O God! The children of men take refuge and put their trust under the shadow of Your wings. They relish and feast on the abundance of Your house; and You cause them to drink of the stream of Your pleasures. For with You is the fountain of life; in Your light do we see light. [John 4:10, 14.]” Psalm 36:7-9 AMPC
We rise by setting the decrees of our Saviour before our eyes like a flint. When you relish and feast from the abundance of revelation, God will cause you to drink of the eternal stream of His pleasures. Instead of defeat you will find victory. Instead of death, His life will rule and reign in the places you never could have imagined.
Find a quiet place and wait patiently in the presence of the Father, as you allow the Holy Spirit to stir an understanding in the riches of the word of life. You will encounter a greater light which gives you the audacity to walk into your higher heights and stature in life, without fear or grumbling.
CONFESSION: I will make it a daily habit to dwell in Gods word through reading, meditation, and prayers until it’s beauty find a place within my spirit. May the world see a transformation in my life, which is an expression of the supernatural force of God.

Puritan Prayer
I humbly share these sincere prayers with you, which came out of my personal longings for deeper depths in Christ. I lay these petitions to God every day, that he will continue to draw me in into an organic union through the agency of the Spirit, to capture all that He IS, and WHO I am in Him; undistracted by the world of sin and self.
My heart desire and the heartbeat of the Father is that all of the brethren who have been weakened by the world of sin and religion; pulled away from intimacy with the Father, because of a sense of guilt, will encounter His glorious presence to influence the world of sin for Christ Jesus, effortlessly.
I have asked the Father to light up your heart today. I want Him to bless you with His presence as you journey with the Holy Spirit, sending your heartfelt petitions to Him, in anticipation for an incredible awakening in your own life, and the world around you. You can also use puritan prayers to intercede for a friend, a small group, your church, or family. May His abounding Peace rest upon you and yours!
“ARISE [from the depression and prostration in which circumstances have kept you–rise to a new life]! Shine (be radiant with the glory of the Lord), for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you! [Zech. 8:23.] For behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and dense darkness [all] peoples, but the Lord shall arise upon you [O Jerusalem], and His glory shall be seen on you. [Isa. 60:19-22; Mal. 4:2; Rev. 21:2, 3.]” Isaiah 60:1-2 AMPC
Dear, Father God
You’re the King of Kings
A Righteous judge over all and all
I thank you today, for the gift of life
I am deeply sorry,
For how long I’ve been governed by
This carnal invitations and temptations
Of this dark world, which has
produced gross weaknesses
within me.
My heart is dull, my spirit is numb
I am not happy, I am not free, I lack zeal
I lack sincere affections for your presence
I am bereft of the flame of hope, and the
fluidity to journey towards what
matters to you.
Abba, forgive me from this boredom drunkness
I am intoxicated in the world. The occupation of
worldly appraisals and passions have filled my belly.
This world is seductively my idol, and I’m cold
And passive to anything spiritual
I pray, dear Father, set my heart free,
Free like a bird, and make it ablaze
Like moonlight beauty, for
your own glory.
Free my soul from these invisible chains
That easily entangles me from pursuing you
Father God, Let your Holy Spirit quickened
This weary soul, and this worn-out temple
Of mine, so I could arise from the cold
Valleys of dry bones; becoming
A mighty force.
O’ Sweet Spirit, our trusted guide:
Manifest yourself among us,
Right now, right here, and we shall be
Awaken from our slumber.
Drench us in the sweetest odour of the Father
We want to diffuse our world with the
Eternal aroma that captivates the
Seat of human emotions [ spirit & soul ] for
An authentic response to your
Invitation of love, for true repentance.
May we capture our truest essence
Within the framework of your Kingdom
Agenda in it’s purest layout in the gospel
In partnership with the Holy Spirit.
I yearn for a richer understanding:
An understanding which comes from you
Holy Spirit, enlighten the eyes of my Heart
Lead me on, Shepherd of my Soul
Guide my heart to the greener pastures of truth
For I long to be captured first by your glory, so i
Can apprehend the length, the Depths, the
Breadth, and the heights of all that
You have offered through
Christ Jesus, my Saviour.
I ask that you Shine forth thy light, and
Thy grace upon this upside-down world
Draw the worst of us to yourself; sanctified
And purged; to confound the prideful of
hearts, swayed by human wisdom
Renew us,
Your people,
And we shall be renewed.
You are the master porter, and
We are the marred clay, yet firmly
Embraced by your mercies and grace
I am grateful to you, Lord Jesus, that you
Are in total control, rewriting and amending
Our beggarly stories, because you have the
Power and the patience to alter all things
For thy glory and for thy pleasure
O’ great God, you are the perfecter of life.
Please, reform us, mould us, and shine
On us, to be conformed to the stature and
Best of heavenly standards which are
pleasing and acceptable to you,
You alone.
If you can use anything, here I am;
Use me mightily, for your own glory
Before thy appearing, in Jesus
Your glorious name, I pray
Amen!

Harbingers Lullabies
Personally, Mothers days are one of those special occasions I spiritually connect with single mothers, and all the women who don’t have kids they could call their own. To some women mothers day is a day of misery because it reminds them of their battles with a series of miscarriages, death, and disappointments in pregnancy. This poem is my heartfelt prayer and encouragement to you, who is battling in any of these areas. You are not alone. I honour and celebrate you from the depths of my heart. ➕💚
The voice of the moon:
a constant reminder to you
that you’ve not been left
alone, to stumble in the dark
Give her soft wings to Fly
Give her sunshine to Bloom
The weight of not having to carry
a child she will call her own
who would serenades her heart with
mama’s lullabies
depletes her soul every day,
especially today.
Give her soft wings to fly
Give her sunshine to bloom
She’d believed in a lie
That she’s not fruitful, that she’s not a mother
No one ever told her she’s the mother of the universe,
and the voice of the moon is a constant reminder,
that she’s not left alone in the dark, to stumble.
O’ moonchild, weary flower:
The universe is your Son, and
the moon is the messenger
of thy glad tidings.
You are not alone.
O’ mother of many nations

You Are All That Matters
”Just as we so matter to God, Our God will matter again to His Church, and the world shall flow into the holy mount of the Lord and journey with us in our uprise.”
”A new heart will I give you and a new spirit will I put within you, and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.” Ezekiel 36:26 AMPC
A NEW HEART | A new heart, free from the bondage of this carnal impulses of a carnal world. A new spirit that set the seat of our being on fire, that nothing else will matter anymore, but God alone.
As I write this post, I sense the heavens are ready, through the portals of Holy Spirit, to release unusual grace upon the universe. Sons and daughters of God shall be unleashed from the valleys of dry bones, to execute the will of the Father on earth. An army of believers whose heart and spirit are tired of the consummation of religion, and a mundane civilization devoid of the authentic realities of the Kingdom. Such men and women has been wrestling in the presence of the Father for so long, holding the horn of the altar with such an incredible desire to encounter the infinite possibilities of a righteous God, and the spiritual mysteries of His operations.
GOD MATTERS | Such men and women will make God matter in their everyday life. Such an army will die to the flesh and the world will not be worthy in their eyes anymore. Neither will they be worthy in the eyes of the world, because of their operations in the spirit. They will understand the spiritual mystery of the indwelling presence of God in their heart, and their authority and power within the mandate of the King of Kings, to capture the world for Jesus.
KINGDOM INVESTORS | Let us continue to yield ourselves completely to Him in prayer, holiness, the fear of the Lord, and ascend in the dimension of spiritual enlightenment in the word. Our sacrifices to his will, and surrendering of ours to Him is the truest path to circumcising our stony hearts [ The kind of heart which is not sensitive to his word and drifts away every day, chasing after what does not matter]
Have you allowed yourself to pause for a minute, considering all the happenings around us? Such questions like; ”why am I not on fire for Jesus? should burn inside our hearts.” ”Does God really matters to me?” ”How do I become an agent of love and power in the Kingdom of Christ?”
”What on earth is this boredom, that I have zero desire to stay in the secret place of God, basking in the depths of who He is, what His plans are, and my place within His agenda?” ”Why am I so anxious about what I will eat, what I will wear, how do I pay my rent, when do I get a new toy, a new this and a new that, and all the unnecessary competitions that wage war within our flesh?”
“But seek (aim at and strive after) first of all His kingdom and His righteousness (His way of doing and being right), and then all these things taken together will be given you besides.” Matthew 6:33 AMPC
JESUS IS LORD | If such desires and ambitions [ things that are above, heavenly inclined ] are not at the forefronts of our occupation then we have to ask ourselves again if Jesus is really our Lord, and if he really matters to us at all. My heart burns with one desire; ”to seek all that God has to offer.” I know if I find Him and his supernatural ways of doing things, all the other things I could have occupied my mind with will be bestowed on me through the operation of grace.
I am persuaded, this is the surest path to discovering the dominion mandate of God. This is how we soar on this side of life; aiming at, and striving after His perfect ways of DOING and BEING right.
MERE MEN | Satan is cunning enough to have distracted a lot of believers; our hearts and spirit are weighed down by the boulders of earthly longings and grandeur ambitions which is always before us, and hanging within our souls, each day. Great ambitions which are not tied to the eternal purpose of Christ, but to appeal our own sense of pride. Our hearts are numb to the things of God, and our spirit is governed by the spirit of this mammon. Unfortunately, we have become like mere men
EMERGENCE | Don’t log out, my friend. I have some good news for His bride; ”Just as we so matter to God, Our God will matter again to His Church and the world shall flow into the holy mount of the Lord, and she will journey with us in our uprise” and she will say; ”teach us the WAYS of the Lord.” ”Show us the path to peace.” ”Give us what you have because nothing satisfies in our kind of civilization, except your God, your truth.” hallelujah
There is a coming revival of hearts and spirit towards the ways of Jesus, and mere men shall rise with deep insights, and intimacy with the Holy Ghost; expressing a dimension of God the world has never experienced before. Do you want to be a part of the ARMY?
Dear, Father God
You’re the King of Kings
A Righteous judge over all spirits
I am so thankful to you, for the gift of life
I am sincerely sorry,
For so long I’ve been regulated by the
carnal invitations and temptations
Of this dark world, which has
produced gross weakness
within me.
My heart is dull, my spirit is numb
I am not happy, I am not free, I lack real zeal
I lack sincere affections for your presence
I am bereft of real happiness and real freedom,
and the fluidity to be consumed with all that
matters to you.
Abba, forgive me from boredom drunkness
I am intoxicated in the world. The occupation of
worldly appraisals and passions have filled my belly.
This world is seductively my idol, and I’m cold
And passive to anything spiritual
I pray, set my heart free, like a bird, and
make it ablaze like moonlight beauty, for
your own glory.
I want to be loose from an invisible chain of Satan
That easily entangles me from pursuing you
Father God, Let your Holy Spirit quickened
This weary soul, and this worn-out temple
Of mine, so I could arise from the cold
Valleys of dry bones; becoming
A mighty force.
Amen!

At The Dawn Of Friendships
At the dawn of friendship and more
i was an insane man at will, dwelling in caves
At the dawn of friendship and more I was a Joseph
In a cistern, without the coat of many colours
But many woes and more.
The Beloved knocked
on my doors.
”Love has no boundaries. Friendships are born not only in good times but in darker hues of days too.”
But Who runs to the cottage of misfits for a bowl of friendship on this side of town, sir?
”When love leads everywhere is home, and everyone is a friend, a brother, a sister and a song to sing out loud”
Soul soars like an eagle at once, into realms of soft joys; slapped by loves fragrances
He will be at your door today. He will be at your doors today, O’ pieces of rugs and reproach, he’s near
Please, don’t shut your door against him because the neighbour rehearsed his disgust in thy ears, that no one will come, that no one cares
”At the dawn of Friendships, I broke my own door, wiped my disbelief and welcomed the fragrant one.”
Come inside,
I have waited forever
Come inside,
We are forever,
O’ Gardener of the souls garden
Your love is unparalleled.
