A CALL TO REPENTENCE

Psalms 27


God is coming to town to have a cup of coffee but as God comes to town for a coffee date he comes in all his glory and honour.

The glory of God in the Hebrew lingua franca is called Akavod.

The term Akavod translates to mean heavy load.

Akavod is a heavy load that can't be contained by natural means.

Thus in order to survive the load that the Glory of God comes with then they has got to be a dispersing of the general population.

The dispersing is crucial and vital to give God space and privacy while he is walking across the face of the earth on a coffee date.

Ofcourse the dispersing leads to camping indoors for almost the entire population.

As the Lord moves across the landscape of the earth so does he require a cry of repentance going out towards him.

Repentance is the bridge upon which man and God come into reconciliation.

Additionally for man and God to come into reconciliation then repentance must first endure.

The sixth month of the Jewish religious calender is called the month of Elul.

It's the last month of the year in preparation for the fall festivals in Isreal.

The month of Elul is a thirty day call to repentance observed by Jewish believers in preparation for Rosh Hoshanah(The Feast of Trumpets) and Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement).

The mood of repentance builds during Elul, escalates during the feast of Trumpet and reaches a crescendo on the Day of Atonement.

For most of the month of Elul a shofar is blown.

The sound of the shofar is very piercing and is designed to wake up believers.

The church is like the ten sleeping virgin's and must be roused from her complacency.

The focus is on forgiveness during the entire month of Elul.


The word Elul means to search as in search your heart.

The name of the month is said to be an acronym of "Ani l'dodi v'dodi li,"-Iam my Beloved's and my Beloved is mine."

This period of time is set aside for the loved ones of God to search their hearts and return to their first love condition when their love for God was fresh and brand new.

As the Lord God Almighty traverses the earth in this day and period the entire population of the world has been instructed to keep indoors.

In order to cry for the mercy of God while amidst repentance so that the restoration of mankind can endure and take place.

The load that the Glory of the lord comes with is designed to put mankind to a place of seeking the condition of one's heart towards God and his fellow man.

There should be forgiveness among men.

In order for one's repentance to be effective before God.

For the world and it's entire population has been put at a place where God demands repentance so that he can pour out his mercy for the salvation of mankind.

They are many times than not when God makes a move and even the very forces of darkness come to a standstill.

Indeed and infact we are at a time where every thing that has disrupted the normal routine of mankind is not the work of the devil but rather the work of God.

God is at work and on a coffee date with mankind but since mankind can't stand in the presence of God's glory he is restricted indoors.

To endure the visitation of Lord God Almighty while crying out in repentance so that God can have mercy on mankind.

It's time for the believers of God to scrutiny their relationship with God in regards to whether it's worthy of his glory or not.

Alot has been going with the population of the believers in the name of Jesus.

And it seems like it's not been pleasing and bringing God the Glory.


The population of believers and their gatherings have a mode of operation which elevates mere mortals to iconoclastic platforms thus causing confusion in regards to whom they should worship (men or God).

For that reason God has got to disarm and take by surprise those who have been equating themselves to him inorder to prove to the entire world that glory is of him.

Psalms 27 states ," The LORD is the stronghold of my life of whom shal I be afraid? When evil men advance against me to devour my flesh, when my enemies and my foes attack me, they will stumble and fall.Though an army besiege me , my heart will not fear : though war break out against me, even then will I be confident.

Undoubtedly we in a period of unique circumstances underlined by uncertainty but no matter how bad things seem to get our confidence is in the LORD God who is the stronghold of lives and hence we shall not be afraid.
