The Cost of Freedom is Incalculable

On the 7th of August 1942, there landed the first U.S Marine Division on a little known Australian Island territory Known as Guadalcanal. 

 This unique marine division was on average made up of 19yr old teenagers with the task of stopping the Japanese sweep in the south pacific in order to turn the tide of war.

 The fighting endured for six months and throughout those six months Guadalcanal become hell for the teenagers.

 And as of 1943, 10,000 soldiers were left from the original 40,000. Those were not normal times back then as much as we presently faced with times that are not normal. 

The times are desperate and evil. Everyone should listen to the sound of the ticking clock and get up so as to fight for the freedom of this country cause this country is not free. 

There is no freedom in this country because the country has been grabbed by a group of men that operate on the principle of selfishness. 

 An evil principle that seeks to control the mind and the property of others. Which consequently gives way to the virus of aggrandizement.

Aggrandizement is the impulse to grab power, wealth, position, and reputation at the expense of others. 

 In order to be free a people need to be committed to the principle of freedom and act against the principle of selfishness. 

 It’s only the principle of freedom and the commitment to freedom that acts and plays the role of an immune booster against the virus of aggrandizement.

 The moment you decide to stand on the forefront of freedom fighting then you have got to understand that you must be ready to be marked as a threat and an enemy of the status-quo.

 An enemy of the status-quo who will be pursued relentlessly by the oppressor, the dictator and that evil selfish tyrant.

 Family and property attached to you will not be spared. Family members will be killed and property will either be destroyed or sacked. 

 The moment aggrandizement takes root in a given society them also dictatorship and tyranny begin to function.

 Dictatorship and tyranny rides on the wheels of exploitation. 

 And the cost of exploitation is the loss of freedom to think, worship and freedom to invent.

 The exploitation of dictators and tyrants slams the door on human joy and it also lowers the darkest cloud on initiative and human/societal progress. 

Countries with no dictatorships and tyrant leaders progress way faster economically, politically, institutionally and socially in comparison to countries with dictatorial regimes.

 The pursuit of freedom and its cost should go beyond words. 

 As much as the exploitation and effects of it by dictators is beyond words. 

 This is imperative because the purchase of freedom liberates the spirit of a man and frees communities plus their citizens, Once the light of freedom is switched off. 

 Then the dark cloud of human exploitation emerges to crush the human spirit even in his pockets. Ever since time immemorial, the forces of good and evil have always been in great conflict. 

 And at the center of this conflict is the principle of freedom representing good and the principle of evil that is represented by the principle of exploitation, selfishness and aggrandizement. 

 Indeed and in fact all tyranny and dictatorship is a spirit of evil and a force of darkness.

 The denying of a people their freedom of thought, and their freedom of worship and their freedom to invent plus repeatedly threatening to crush a people once they express a desire to exercise their God given gift is nothing but an evil plan of the devil.

 Furthermore anybody that sides with tyranny and dictatorship plus the impulse to grab power, wealth, position, and reputation is working for the evil forces of darkness and has got nothing to do with God. 

 The mandate of the principle of evil sooner or later functions to coerce, to control and aims to eventually destroy all opposition factors and figures.

 There is no progressive society where the opposition factors and figures are categorized and pigeon-holed as ‘Enemy’.

 An ‘Enemy’ to be crushed and denied the freedom to invent, initiative and become everything that he/she were made to become. 

 The moment a society sidelines opposition factors and figures as ‘Enemy’ then that society has been kidnapped , hijacked and confiscated by the forces of evil and the forces of darkness. 

 In every society where the power of tyranny is aggressive, the leaders of that society are ever deceptive and persuasive; talking freedom in the daylight and yet plan to destroy freedom in darkness of thr night.

All dictatorship and the power of tyranny seeks to destroy the power of life which is called freedom. 

 However just like it was in the Old Testament, God continues to rescue the faithful from oppression (Pharaoh). 

 Without a doubt, Jesus came in the New Testament as the ultimate freedom fighter.

 He did this by looking down on selfishness and human exploitation and the cost Jesus paid was indeed incalculable. 

 No historian can measure with accuracy the cost paid by many freedom fighters throughout history.

 Lives have been lost and impoverished but nonetheless the truth remains that freedom and responsibility are God’s basic gift to humanity. 

 For without Freedom and responsibility mankind can’t allow the grace of God to be truly reflected in the affairs of the world. 

 Humanity can’t give up in the pursuit of freedom cause if they do so then joy and reason to attain great heights will be no more.

 To have freedom is vital because with it humans have the opportunity to freely fulfill their God given potential. 

Freedom and responsibility are intertwined one needs the other and vice versa.

 The initial cost to be paid in the pursuit of freedom by all freedom fighters is by ensuring the role of the ‘Thin Red Line’. 

 The role of the ‘Thin Red Line’ is to make sure that humans understand that God has given them freedom to exercise their conscience, to stand up to coercion, to confront any power whether religious, political or tribal that comes to destroy their freedom.

 Indeed and in fact, many times than not it’s the ‘Thin Red Line’ that keeps the freedom fire burning.

 In 480 B.C, a small force of 300 Spartans stood as a line of defense for Greece against thousands of invading Persians and their allies. 

 Today history remembers those gallant Spartans because they paid the incalculable cost of freedom.

 To ensure freedom rings we have got to be willing to lay down our lives for the benefit of others.

 And as the ‘Thin Red Line’ each in our own capacity and by way of our own idiosyncratic skill sets just like those Greek Spartans we have to stand up in the way of the dictator and the tyranny of our day and time in order to defend freedom as our gift from God. 

 It can only be the devil and his demons that attempt to rob freedom from men and women.

 Hence we should all sing in unison,’ no more coercion and control’ that limits the ability of another to breathe free.

 Once we decide to pay the cost of freedom the tyrant and the dictator shall become a hunted fugitive in just a few days.

Torah

Exodus 20:1-20 Acts 2:1-42

 The Torah which is definitively and descriptively known as the teaching of God, the instruction of God, the knowledge of God , the understanding of God, the commandment of God, the revelation of God, the gift of God that distinctively and uniquely defines the people of God. 

 The Torah was born from the prophetic womb of Moses.

 Moses is a bi- product of a mother and a father that were both Levites. 

The Levites are in-charge of the priesthood office in the social set up of Israel. 

 It was approximately 50 days after the nation of Israel Departed Egypt that the Torah was birthed from the prophetic womb of Moses. 

 In addition it was 50 days after Jesus ascended into heaven that the holy spirit came down from heaven unto the disciples in the upper room.

 50 is a number signifying Jubilee or rather a celebration to mark a great delivery and a release from one stage in life to another stage and another level. 

 The Hebrew word of Jubilee is Yobel and it translates to mean a release. 

 Yobel is a word that is also used to translate the Hebrew Trumpet know as the shofar. A shofar is a vessel used not only to call a people back to repentance but also to celebrate the mercy of God. 

 In other wards the birth and the introduction of the Torah amidst the Jewish people was a celebration of a new beginning. 

 A new beginning that was meant to surpass the previous era when the Jewish nation was in bondage while in the land of Egypt. 

 Thus there was need of a jubilation upon the introduction of the Torah amidst the Jewish nation. 

 This is so because they had over come the bondage in Egypt and a new beginning in the course of Jewish history Further more the introduction of the Torah amidst the Jewish nation underlined the impressive uniqueness of the Jewish people. 

 With the propensity to accomplish what no other ethnicity can achieve. 

 As result of the birthing of the Torah, the Jewish people began to led an organized and more institutionalized lifestyle to the admiration of the rest of the citizens of the world. 

 They was no Systematic way of life pre- Torah induction. 

However the moment the Torah was born the nation of Israeli was kick-started into a systematic way of life. 

 The entire concept of Pentecost was established 50 days after the ascension of Jesus Christ. 

 It was on this occasion that the holy spirit came rushing like a mighty wind and filled the disciples in the upper room. Indeed and infact on the day of Pentecost the disciples experienced a new beginning in their walk with God Almighty. 

 The presence of God which is underlined by the coming down of the holy spirit is the fullness of joy. Jubilee whose numerology is 50 also means the fullness of joy. 

 Hence forth the coming down of the Torah plus the holy spirit 50 days after the Passover( in the old testament) and the ascension of Jesus Christ (in the new testament) respectively made sure that the praises of God never depart the mouth of those who believe. 

 In addition the Torah is a gift from God that posits us in a place of constant thanksgiving and praise unto the Lord our God. 

 As a result of the Torah we are graced with divine direction, instruction, and guidance leading us to victory, glory and honour. Undoubtedly the impressive uniqueness for the life of us is sealed by the gift of the Torah and the gift of the holy spirit from God Almighty towards us. 

 The difference that you hold against the grain and the rest of the pack is because you both posses the Torah and you are filled by the Holy spirit. 

 The Torah is hand written by the hand of God himself. The Torah is made up of 5 letters and 5 means the hand of God. Consequently the handwriting of God is written all over your life cause of your possession of the Torah.

 The handwriting of God over your life defines the will of God over your life as much as the hand of God being in your life.

 No weapon against your life will prosper cause the Torah has been handwritten over your life. 

 A valid life of holiness and righteous takes effect at the receiving of both the Torah and the Holy spirit. In Exodus 20:1-20 we find an intimate discourse between God and the Jewish nation.

 In the aforementioned discourse God is unwrapping the Torah as an impressively unique divine gift. 

 A gift set apart from God to his chosen people the nation of Israeli. 

 From that aforementioned perceptive the Torah is a special gift from God to the nation of Israel.

 And consequently to the rest of the world because it's literally defines and sharps the direction as much as the cultural and lifestyle of the Jewish community as well as the world at large. 

 From the Torah the Jewish community has been blessed and the fruits of the Jewish blessing have eventually blessed the world too.

 Both the coming of the Torah and the Holy spirit are occasions for jubilee in the lives of the people of God. 

 This is so because a unique gift from God sparks joy in the life of any given individual.

2021- A Season of Distinction

 According to the international system of examination grading, a distinction refers to an extraordinary pass.

  Having a distinction means passing an examination with impressive uniqueness.

 In addition, a distinction is described as an achievement or rather an accomplishment that cannot be done.

 As if that is not enough, a distinction is an achievement and an accomplishment that many can't do.

 In so much to say, a distinction is when one enters into an examination room with excellent, and exceptional skills.

 And then eventually coming out of the examination room with everyone amazed and mesmerized by the individual's impressive uniqueness.

 2020 was a season where we experienced a special encounter with God Almighty.

 However 2021 is going to be a season for God to make a difference but more importantly it's going to be a season and a period of God making a distinction in our lives.

 God has anointed you with a special oil for you to be able to function with distinction in 2021.

 And since a distinction is an achievement that cannot be done or some cannot do then it's going to take the exceptional and excellent skill and capacity of God's oil on your life to deploy its impressive uniqueness in your life.

 And once your impressive uniqueness is put on display for the whole world to see then God Almighty will be praised and Glorified cause God alone deserves the praise, the glory and the Honor.

 The oil of God for the life of you is too impressively unique and too good to be kept only for yourself and for your own good.

 It has got to be shared so that the world will come to taste of the goodness of the Lord that has been kept and stored secretly in your belly.

 Every move that you make in 2021 is going to be excellent and exceptionally skillful in manner, matter, and in method so as to leave everyone in 2021 impressed with your uniqueness.

 You going to be so impressively unique in 2021 that everyone will be amazed by your excellent and exceptional skills (as much as your anthropology).

 This is crucial because the (anthropology) nature of one's physical capacity and character straits embody the skill set of any given individual.

 In 2021 am going (God) to cause for there to be an achievement that cannot be done.

 In other wards, if 2021 is going to be a season of distinction then I have anointed you to achieve what cannot be done.

 With much more emphasis, I have given you the oil that enables you to achieve, and to accomplish what many can't achieve because it cannot be achieved by many.

 However you going to achieve that which cannot be achieved because of the exceptional, and excellent divine oil of God that makes you an impressive uniqueness in the season of 2021.

 The impressive uniqueness of your life is going to be as a result of the oil of God that has been secretly laying in your belly, ever since time immemorial but in the season of 2021 that oil is going to be made manifest.

 Without a doubt 2021 is a season with an occurrence that details an achievement that cannot be done.

 Conversely, 2021 is a season with occurrences stipulating achievements that some cannot do.

 Before 2021 everything about your life and for the life of you seemed similar to the pack but in 2021 God will draw a line of division and separation in your status quo, and you will be different from the pack.

 Furthermore once the line of division has been drawn in the status quo positions will change, assignments will be altered, appointments will be cancelled and the anointing of leadership will be decommissioned from one person so that another person with no leadership background can be commissioned.

 Beginning from Exodus 8:23 - throughout Exodus 9-10:7 and even Exodus 14, God embarks on performing acts of distinction between Egypt and Israel.

 In totality all the acts of distinction performed by God before the pharaoh were 7 in number while the Hebrew people were still in Egypt, and 2 more outside the land of Egyptians.

 The number 7 symbolizes and signifies perfection, completion, or rather the end, and the accomplishment of a given task.

 For the Pharaoh to release the Israelite out of  Egypt's bondage God had to accomplish 7 unprecedented tasks or acts of distinction so as to prove to the pharaoh that there was no one on the Earth like the LORD God of Israel and the Hebrews.

 The mystery behind the hardening of the pharaoh's heart so as to repeatedly hold back the Hebrews or the nation of Israel was a divine orchestration by God to set up the Pharaoh into provoking God in order for God to respond with 7 acts of distinction against the Pharaoh.

 Whom God (Exodus 9:1-16) raised up for the purpose of showing off his power, and that God's name might be proclaimed in all the earth.

 Conversely, (Exodus 10:1-2) God hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and the hearts of his officials, so as to perform these signs (acts of distinction) among them that the Israelite may tell their children, and grandchildren how God dealt harshly with the Egyptians, and how God performed acts of distinction (signs) among them, and that they may know that God is the Lord.

 As a result of the fact that 2021 is a season of distinction, God is going to perform acts of distinction, and eventually make a distinction between the oppressor and the oppressed.

 These acts of distinction will bring damage, and turmoil to the oppressor but safety to the oppressed.

 The acts of distinction by God in the season of 2021 will weaken the oppressor and strengthen the oppressed.

 The hardness of the heart by the oppressor will provide a stage, and a platform for God to perform acts of distinction so that both the oppressor, and the oppressed may come to know, and appreciate that there is no one like the Lord God on the Earth.

 Plus acknowledging that the Lord God hates oppression and conspires against the oppressor to bring his reign of tyranny to an end.

 Since the Pharaoh had exceeded his human capacity by calling himself God over the earth.

 God also had to respond with exceedingly tough acts of distinction in order to prove to all the citizens of the earth that He alone is the God of the Earth.

 For the very purpose of emphasis, 2021 is the season where God will perform acts of distinction hence drawing a line of division and bringing about a great separation in the status quo that will see to it that the oppressor will no more oppress the oppressed.

 The marginalized will come into an official, and a recognizable alignment.

 The anointing of God will be re-commissioned consequently ensuring a change in wealth, position, possibilities, and assignments.

 The identity for the life of you will become an impressive uniqueness.

 Undoubtedly the line of division in the status quo will bring about safety for poor and calamity for the oppressor.

 Throughout the course of his leadership the pharaoh of Egypt posited himself as the most powerful man on the Earth.

 However in performing the 7 acts of distinction before Pharaoh, God not only liberated the oppressed from the oppressor.

  But his intention was to also subdue the Pharaoh of Egypt.

  In a grand attempt to prove to the Earth there may not be anyone on the Earth like the pharaoh of Egypt, but God is much more than the pharaoh of Egypt in both might, and power.

 And that God can do what nobody on the Earth cannot do.

 In the season of 2021 God is going to subdue everything that has oppressed you by doing for you something that you cannot do on your own.

 Whatever God is going to do for you in 2021 will seem as if it's you who is doing it, and the whole world will be uniquely impressed by the oil of God upon your life.

 In the event of the 7 acts of distinction, God drew a line of separation and division between the Hebrews (oppressed) and the Egyptians (oppressors). 

 And hence as a result the Hebrews gained their freedom, and safety while the Egyptians were destroyed.

 God made provision for Hebrews (oppressed) in the place where he denied provision for the Egyptians (oppressor).

 This impressive uniqueness is underscored by the opening of the sea of reeds so that the Hebrews (oppressed) may have passage.

 And the closing of the sea of reeds led to the destruction of the Egyptians (oppressor).

 The provision of easy passage amidst the sea of reeds signified, and indicated the favor of the Lord God functioning among the Hebrews.

 While the closing of the sea of reeds leading up to the perishing of the Egyptians amidst the sea of reeds signified the wrath of God that the Egyptians well deserved to experience.

 Consequently in 2021 God is going to perform 7 acts of distinction that will draw a line of separation between the oppressed and the oppressor.

 This division will see to it that the oppressed are safe while the oppressor is destroyed.

 This division will see to it that the oppressed gain provision from God while the oppressor will experience the wrath of God.

 The last, and final act of distinction that God performed in Egypt against the Pharaoh was the act of killing all the first born male children in the land of Egypt from the Highest Egyptian to the lowest Egyptians.

 The first born male child represents the reputation, the inheritance, and the legacy of a man.

 Thus in killing the first born male child all throughout the land of Egypt, God was indeed , and in fact destroying, and putting an end to the legacy, and reputation as much as the inheritance of the Pharaoh, and all of Egypt plus it's people.

 On the other hand, while God was putting an end to the reputation, legacy, and inheritance of which was tyrannical in nature, the Hebrew were having their inheritance, legacy, and reputation boosted, and preserved to a level beyond human comprehension.

 In 2021 God will create a difference, and a distinction in the state of your reputation, legacy and inheritance.

 The reputation for the life of you will proceed you everywhere that you go.

 The legacy as created by your exceptional and excellent work will go before you, and introduce itself before strangers.

 The inheritance for the life of you will be enriched, and highly profiled with possessions of gold standard.

 Much like the Hebrews walked out of the bondage of Egypt with a better, and an awe-striking reputation, a marvelous, and admirable legacy as well as a wealthy inheritance measured by Gold standard.

 Without a doubt the final onslaught by God against the Pharaoh while the Hebrew were still in Egypt was the act of distinction that saw the Pharaoh lose everything that he ever gained from oppressing the Hebrews.

 In 2021 God will cause you to get wealth that will makes others that got wealthy before you feel at loss and remorseful for having never treated you better when you was scratching at the bottom of the bellow.

 There those who ignored you, and disrespected you before 2021.

 But once they see you again in 2021 the admiration they will have for you will be overtaken by the embarrassment of having not respected, and given you the attention you so deserved before God made a distinction and a difference in your life.

 The oppressor of your life, and your nation has gotten his heart hardened, and hence his response is so stubborn to let the people be free even when he fully understands that people are tired of him.

 However it is a divine setup for the oppressor to destroy his own legacy, reputation and inheritance.

 And the more stubborn he becomes the more self-destructive he becomes, and the weaker he becomes, and the stronger the oppressed become in order to wipe him out so that they can be free.

 When the Hebrew were let go by the Pharaoh and led out of Egypt by Moses, God performed the 8th wonder outside of the land of Egypt to add to the 7 wonders or acts of distinction performed in Egypt prior departure.

 The 8th act of distinction / wonder was when the Egyptians led by  

Pharaoh attempted to run after the Hebrews to destroy them.

 And God brought about a difference in the two camps such that while it was day light in the camp of the Hebrews it was darkness in the camp of the Egyptians.

 For that reason poor decision making ensued in the Egyptians camp cause darkness overshadowed their minds.

In 2021 God will illuminate your understanding and mindset so that your decision making skills will be excellent and exceptional.

While having an upper hand in every move you make against that of everything that ever oppressed you and stood against you.

 The 9th act of distinction/ wonder was executed when God divided the Red sea otherwise known as the sea of reeds.

The aforementioned act of distinction was pivotal in the sense that the sea of reeds was divided by God and provided passage for the Hebrews into safety.

However the same sea of reeds was closed up for the Egyptians once the Egyptians made an attempt to access the same passage and eventually the Egyptians were destroyed in the sea of reeds.

In 2021 God will make a way for you where there has never been a way and God will make unprecedented provision for you.

And that way will lead you to a place of safety where you will never see your oppressors ever again. 

Much akin to how the Hebrews crossed the sea of reeds and after crossing the sea of reeds they never saw the Egyptians ever again because they perished in the passage that God only permitted his righteous and chosen ones to go through.

The tormentors of your life you will see no more.

2020 was the last time you ever saw your tormentors. 

God is bringing a sudden end to the legacy, reputation and inheritance of the oppressor in 2021.

 Everything and everyone that ever tormented, harassed and oppressed you ever since time immemorial will suddenly lose its power over you in 2021.

 The oppressed and the tormented will wear a crown of victory, Glory and honor in 2021.

 While shame and condemnation will forever be the reputation of the oppressors of your life.

 

A Divine Agreement

 Genesis 1:1-3

Number 23:19

2 Corinthians 1:20

1 Samuel 15:22

The Heavens are a spiritual existence as much as the Earth is a physical existence.

There was never a connection between the Heavens and the Earth however when God wanted to establish a connection between the Heavens and the Earth his spirit hovered over the face of the Earth so as to prepare the Earth for a divine instruction.

This is imperative because whenever God sets out to have a connection with any given physical existence, he commissions his spirit to prepare the subject for instruction.

The instruction of God is the orientation for a divine agreement with God.

After hovering over the face of the Earth for a while the spirit of God which is also closely related to the wind of God conveyed an instruction from God which stipulated,” Let there be Light”.

The wind is a medium of communication and a mechanism of conveying messages articulately.

The wind is a transmitter of sound that can be translated into words that carry a message to a specific target group.

God uses his wind which is also his breath as well as his spirit to carry forth his message to whoever God desires to communicate to.

Light and darkness are not collaborators.

Whenever the light appears then darkness disappears.

Thus the moment God declared and instructed, “Let there be Light”, the darkness that filled the earth disappeared.

It’s here and now that we have got to comprehend that the agreement between the Heavens and the Earth was established and brought into force immediately after the light was introduced in an Earth that was hitherto full of Darkness.

And this agreement was termed as ‘The Light Agreement’.

This so because God desired to relate with the Earth but he would not do because the Earth was full of Darkness.

Darkness and light don’t mix in as much as God does not mix with the devil.

For there to be a relationship between the Heavens and the Earth God had to first establish the Light Agreement.

In this agreement the responsibility of the Earth was to follow the light and never to submit under the authority of Darkness.

While the responsibility of the Heavens was to make provision of that light.

Agreements in any given relationship are pivotal because they reinforce accountability and responsibility.

Relationships without any form of agreement are void of accountability and responsibility.

God created man as a divine breath in representation of the marvelous and wonderful capacity of God upon the face of the Earth.

However in order for the man to be fully able to represent the marvelous and wonderful capacity of God upon the face of the Earth, man and God must be in a relationship.

A relationship that is bound by a divine agreement.

Where God is accountable and responsible for man as much as man is responsible and accountable to the things of God.

The relationship between God and man bound by divine agreement or rather by covenant starts out when man seeks after God.

In seeking and in seeking after God, many times than not Man stumbles upon an instruction from God.

However if man does not stumble upon an instruction from God he then receives an instruction from God through the Holy Spirit.

Whenever man fulfills God’s divine instruction then God responds with a divine promise and thereafter a divine agreement is established between God and man.

The divine agreement between God and man becomes the very basis for man’s relationship with God.

As long as Man is in a divine relationship with God then God will ensure divine favor, protection, and provision towards the man.

The validity of God’s relationship with mankind is determined by a divine agreement which agreement is made up of man’s obedience to God and God’s promises to mankind.

The very reason why obedience is better than sacrifice is based on the fact that obedience to God attracts the promises of God.

And all the promises of God are yes and amen.

No promises from God towards mankind can go without being fulfilled.

God is not a man that he may lie because God is the truth itself

The Irony of Survival

Matthew 3:17 Luke 6:38

 In the event of gaining any amount of significant portions designed to treat to any given individual’s survival; loose becomes inevitable. 

 To state it in simpler terms we will have to grasp and comprehend that in order for one to gain; someone has to lose .

There is no such thing as gaining without loosing.

 Indeed and in fact loosing is the bedrock of gaining.

 However if we are to cast loosing in a positive light then we will have to relate to lose as a significant experience of sacrifice that ought to be undertaken in order for one to become successful in any given area of life. 

 Whatever you have lost prior to this point in your life should from henceforth be considered as a sacrifice that was necessary for your survival and eventual well doing and being. 

 The mental status for the life of you would not be so balanced if at all you did not loose some of the people who either walked out of your life or those that you simply decided to give up on.

 Had you not given up on them or had they not walked out of your life chances are that you would have been a nut-case as of now. 

 The depression that would have been born out of the experience of relating with a people who have no value for other human beings besides themselves would have been so detrimental if not suicidal.

 However you lost those kind of people but this was not a mere loose, it was a necessary sacrifice on your part aimed at ensuring that your own mental health is well protected.

 In the quest for human survival loosing and making vital sacrifices is only but a strategic move that can place us and position at at a vantage point in as far as moving forward happily is concerned. 

 In the event of trying to preserve his tangible glory and honor God sacrificed and lost his begotten and beloved son to the imperfections of an earthly life so as to sustain his plan and initial motive upon the face of the earth.

 When Jesus lost and sacrificed his life briefly to the domain of death the great sacrifice translated into the salvation of mankind even though it’s really ironic. 

 It’s such a grandiose irony because in order for me to gain anything of significance then I have got to lose something equally significant.

 Jesus Christ shade his blood on the cross over upon the hill of Calvary and eventually he breathed his last; however it’s the same blood that he lost which translated into a vital sacrifice for us the sinners of the earth ready for a divine death sentence to be saved by the same blood that was lost by Jesus Christ.

 Give and it has be given back to you in double measure the divine scripture labors to elaborate but many times than not giving posits you in a place where the law of reciprocity is effectively designed to play out in your life.

 Without strategic lose and sacrifice in your life it’s not in error to mention that one’s survival will only be left out to perchance.

 This is important to emphasis  because whenever you loose something you gain something in return and whatever you gain in return is always better than what you lost prior. 

 In addition most of the losses we suffer are not in actuality loses but rather sacrifices that we make in order to gain more durable returns.

THY WILL BE DONE

Luke 22:46
Matthew 26:42


In the Garden of Gethsemane (where the events of Luke 22:46 & Matthew 26:42 play out) we meet Jesus in a form that's far be it from the form where he cast out demons and healed the sick.

We meet a Jesus that is in distress and near the point of depression.

The tension and pressure that is at the center of his life while in the Garden of Gethsemane is premised on the fact that he understands the time of his suffering is at hand.

He seems to be pondering the possibility of escaping the coming suffering of his life but yet still he fully understands that it's the will of God for him to suffer.

Because if there is going to be any form of great glory unbeknownst then that level of unprecedented glory is going to emerge out of the great suffering that Jesus very much would love to escape even though they is no escape route for him.

This is the very reason he came on the face of the Earth: and that is to suffer.

so that out of his great suffering may arise great salvation.

He is praying and pondering if the cup of suffering should pass away(Luke 22:46- "Father if it be thy will let this cup pass away .....") but then on the other extreme he fully understands that it's the will of God for him to suffer.

The word Gethsemane translates to mean "a pressing place".

It's called a pressing place because this was where the olives would be pressed inorder to produce oil.

Oil was never produced until it was exposed to a distressing and depressing impact for certain amounts of Time.

They is some capacity and potentials that will never come out of your life until you battle with distress and depression and come out alive.

According to the great philosopher by the names of Rolla may," distress is the premise upon which creativity thrives.

As much as the ground for great innovation".

Presently the entire world is going through a depression and a distress due to a pandemic ensuing at a level that is unprecedented.

Uncertain is the air that is being breathed in the course of this great pandemic of modern times.

No body seems to understand what tomorrow will bring.

However we need to quickly accept that at the back of this pandemic God is doing a great work.

A work that will leave the world in a different shape and in another form.

It's distressing and depressing but it's the will of God.

And if we can fully embrace the will of God for the hour and the season then shall the world be quickly delivered from depression and distress.

In Matthew 26:42 Jesus prayed the second time and said," My Father , if it is not possible for this cup to be taken away unless I drink it, let thy will be done,"

The moment Jesus declared," let thy will be done"; then did he got the character and the strength to endure and eveñtually overcome the suffering of the cross.

On the 18th of may 2020 during a conversation with his son, Mr. Vegas( renowned dance hall Deejay) was asked by his son- charter," When will corona virus go away?"

Surprised but not shocked Mr. Vegas responded to his son- charter that he should pose the question to God instead.

In grandiose style and child- like confidence charter asked God," when will corona virus go away"?

In utter dismay to Charter; God's response was total silence.

For the second time charter asked God," when will corona virus go away so that I can kick it at the beach again?

And yet still God's response to Charter was total silence.

This was not the first time God gives a silence response to a given probe.

Because even in the Garden of Gethsemane Jesus asked three separate times ,"Father if it be thy will let this cup (of suffering) pass away "and God responded with total silence towards his very own son Jesus.

Even though in Luke 22-43 it's recorded that an angle appeared from heaven to equip Jesus with the endurance to bear the cup of suffering that was to emerge from the experience crucifixion.

The response of total silence to any given probe denotes that God is carrying out his will and when he is done executing his will then the probing one will get an answer when he gets it.

In the course of doing his will upon the face of the Earth the full scope of his operation does not come to human understanding till God is done achieving his will.

Much akin to a painter who does not respond to the question of what is it that he is painting because the painter understands that people will get to know what he is painting at the end of the full picture.

When will corona virus go away?

Corona virus will go away when it goes away.

The specifics and the details in relationship to the day and time that God will achieve his will upon the face of the Earth lay in the end of the task.

In addition, the silence of God is a simple divine call from God towards man to endure the immutable will of God upon the face of the Earth.

The Divine silence of God is a premise and a platform for building endurance and patience as we wait for an answer from God amidst him executing his will upon the face of God.

When will the will of God be done?

The will of God will be done when it will be done.

The emphasis by God is never on the time and day when it will all come to an end but rather the emphasis is on the execution of the task.

The timeline of the task is of less importance but rather the significance is laid on the task and it's purpose by the very nature of God.

By the cheer lack of knowledge and understanding in regards to the will of God (desire of God) upon the face of the Earth men focus on the timeline.

This is so because once the desire of God has been set in motion it sort of holds the desire of men at Bay.

Why is the desire of men held at Bay once the desire of God is set in motion?

Because the desire of God and the desire of men are both antithetical.

What man desires is not innately in perfect harmony with the desires of God.

The vision and the desire as much as the will of man maybe to expand the territorial domination of the corporate church building.

While on the other hand the desire and the will of God may be to perfect the individual church in terms of spiritual growth and in the faith.

Mankind wants to go back to the routine but the routine of mankind has been paused in the event that God is excuting his will upon the face of the Earth.

Immediately after the crucifixion of Jesus Christ mankind was transformed because now the great divide that separated mankind from God was bridges by the death and the resurrection of our Lord and savior-Jesus Christ.

Consequently every now and ; then God pauses the routine of mankind inorder to execute his will upon the face of the Earth ; then it means that life as we have always known it is about to take on a new shape and a new strange form.

UNLEARNING THE STATUS-QUO

Nehemiah 8:1
Psalms 16:11
Psalms 91:1-2
1 Chronicles 16:27


There was a time in history when women where unfairly and unjustly discriminated as much as being denied of the idea of equal rights solely on the basis of sex/gender.

And inorder to undo this evil regularity it was imperative to unlearn the status-quo.

Unlearning the status-quo is simply daring to do things differently in a world and in a societal setting that perceives doing things differently as a radical social change that is not really necessary.

They think it's not necessary because they are more at ease and at comfort by how things are and settled at that exact moment in time.

Blaise Pascal was a 17th century French Catholic mathematician, inventor and a writer who died at the age of 39yrs.

He is renowned for inventing the pascaline which was a form of calculator that he invented inorder to ease the work of his ailing father who was a tax collector.

Blaise Pascal besides his invention is also considered the founding father of the theory of of probability.

A theory that he extensively wrote about in both his early and later years building up to his death due to a stomach tumor in the year 1643.

He is famed for stating and writing about the ground from upon which the miseries of men are derived when he said," All miseries of men derive from being unable to sit in a room quietly alone."

I took both the time and the intellectual liberty to unearth the dictionary opposite of the word misery.

And I found two words namely : contentment and pleasure.

Inother wards according to the 17th century philosopher, Blaise Pascal- to be content and to be in a place of pleasure one needs to be able to sit in a room quietly alone.

Conversely, one's inability to sit in a room quietly alone is the root of all miseries and that is according to Blaise Pascal.

Many a people seek after social reunions and all sorts of company inorder not to be alone because social gathering and being able to have company around them is a form of contentment and pleasure.

However contentment and pleasure on the basis of company and socially mixing seems to be nothing but a fallacy.

A fallacy that can be much compared to the temporal pleasures and comforts of human life

It's fallacious because authentic contentment and pleasure is never accomplished from without but it's realized from within us.

Real contentment and pleasure should be from our spirit and then radiating out to impact those that surround us.

Nothing on the outside is ever lasting but only that which is from within the very basis of our existence can only be pigeonholed as ever lasting.

In Madagascar schools whose classrooms where sitting three students per desk are now mandated to sit one student per desk in the practice of social distancing as a measure to curb the spread of corona virus.

This world is going through a process of unlearning the status-quo and henceforth as result the world will never be the same it was before.

People who were afraid to sit quietly in a room alone are having to do so now not because they want to but because normalcy is enduring a revolution.

And now instead of seeking pleasure and contentment from outside their quiet rooms it's time to seek true everlasting pleasure and contentment from their quiet rooms.

In that quiet room that seems to be void of any social connection and physical company is the very presence of God Almighty waiting on you to call out his name.

In Psalms 16:11 it's declared "You make known to me the path of life: in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore."

There is no place befitting to meet and have an encounter with the presence of the Lord God Almighty like in that place that 17th century French mathematician Blaise Pascal described as a " quiet room alone".

In that quiet room alone you can discover your true self and they is no greater contentment (joy) and pleasure in near comparison to such an experience.

An experience that is only derived from meeting and encountering the presence of God Almighty.

It's seems almost hard to experience the presence of God in an environment surrounded by so many people but when you sited quietly in a room alone then it becomes easy.

And the moment you come to the understanding that the pleasures of this world are fallacious in form because they are temporal in nature.

Then will you seek the presence of God all the more because you finally realize that the pleasures of God are nothing but joyful and everlasting by nature.

Nothing can keep you together like the contentment and pleasure that comes from the presence of God Almighty.



There seems to be no miseries and grief in the presence of God just like it was said in Nehemiah 8:10 by Nehemiah him self,"Go and enjoy choice food and sweet drinks, and send some to those who have nothing prepared.

This day is holy to our Lord.

Do not grieve, for the joy of the LORD is your strength."

In unlearning the status-quo that has always been the norm but now it seems to be disappearing away from sight, we are to fully grasp the vitality of the quiet room as the secret place.

A special place that is highly spoken of in Psalms 91:1-2 and the individual who dwells thereof.

"He that dwells in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

I will say of the Lord,He is my refuge and my fortress: my God ; in him will I trust."

In such miserable times one has to come to trust in God and to utilize the quiet room in the event of trying to cultivate the innate curiosity.

This is so cause once one's innate curiosity is cultivated well enough it will come to a place of meeting with the presence of God.

Filled with splendor and majesty.

Strength and joy making you forget all the miseries of this world(1 chronicles 16:27).
