I got here by Love #DGodFactor



Ideally I put up a post at least once in 2 months and usually on my birthday or around my birthday. I am trying to get one of the ideals to play here….. I guess its Happy Birthday to me.
Out of laziness, some form of being busy, cancelled about 4 posts already typed and too much to put in a post, am not sure of what to write, yet I want to write, not sure of where to start, yet I have to start.
Amidst the birthday wishes et al, i thought to myself…..it’s just another day. Do not get me wrong I appreciate all the messages, as well as the gift of life and the privilege to live another day  for God. Yet the race is still long ahead and there’s still more to be done that all I can see is the work and God.
There are times I stare in the mirror, smile, laugh, then cry and ask God how I got here. I try to remember the younger me, and wonder if I can get myself to feel the stretch of age and the number of years. I can’t say I feel it, but yesterday looking in the mirror once again, I prayed to God to renew my days like that of the Eagles.
In this past year I have learnt silence, I have learnt the power of God’s Love and how he takes us through life, situations and people for his purpose, and just because he loves us. I have learnt that there’s nothing like knowing and having an experiential knowledge of God and the power of the word. I have learnt that its line upon line, precept upon precept, God will reveal it all in due time. I have learnt that there is no me without God.
So randomly in the middle of a class… it struck me …. I got here by Love.
You want me to break that down… The Love of God chose man, the Love of God sent Christ, Love got my parents together, love bore me, and The Love of God has been my compelling force and guide; but for his Love there will be no grace.
In silence I watch, take it all in, hold my breath, ask God questions and let it all play out.
At this point I see the rays of light from the sun flood into my room. It’s so beautiful and bright it feels like I have a bulb on…..#LightRefreshing
It’s time to do the closing :)
I can be silent, I will learn patience and trust, but one thing I won’t be is complacent. I will trust and wait on God. Like Job, I am saying though he slay me, I will trust in him; When he has tried me, I shall come forth like gold (job13:15, job23:10)....It can only get better!

Approximately 10 days from now I’ll be on my way out of India, and I just want to share some funny/major experiences. After I cleared from immigration and their likes @ d Airport, coming out with my luggage, I met this guy who was obviously Nigerian, and sure he was either a cab man, or someone who wanted to make quick money that early morning. Well, I ignored him! Am sure u are wondering why; well the manner of approach was terrible, he spoke in pigin, was too confident, and not gentle @ all. A few steps to a phone booth and I meet an Indian guy, who is gentle and sweet( don’t get nasty tots) he approaches me with a mannerism close to professional, but good enough to get a customer for the day. My call didn’t get through, and he drove me to a hotel, where I was charged 2,600 rupees, for less than 6 hours. Okay that was my first encounter of Indian 419’s……lol, as I later learned it was pretty expensive for the sort of hotel. Well I guess my expectation of the Institute, and the country...

What makes me think I have an obligation to keep writing and posting on this blog…well the answer is simple it’s my blog, and it carries my name, I created it and thus I have a responsibility to keep it functional; well if I decide to stop writing now, it won’t make sense to have created the blog, and taken all the pain to write, and post…..This is the way I view man and God. The other day I got into a pretty nasty discussion; we were talking about purpose, and this guy got so worked up when I was asking him about purpose. He asked me why I was asking him what his purpose is, when thousands are hungry; people do not have homes to sleep, poverty and wars going on….. At this point I paused, I had never tot about it that way. All this while it’s been about me and purpose, I saw purpose as a personal thing, I’ve never tot of asking a hungry child what his/her purpose is, I never tot of asking the beggar on the street what his purpose his. Well Deepak m...

Psalm40:1 I waited patiently for the Lord; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.

--> Its been a busy weekend, and I do not know where to start this post from; will just right about start from here............mama just walked into my room asking about a friend(and yes I answer shortly to cut the discussion..lol). Its been a waiting period for me and I am still waiting. In the last post I said I did not know answers to questions such as , where, who, when, what, why?.... Well for most of it the answer has been “Wait” I hear in my spirit time and time again, “be still and know that I am God” I hear “ Trust, Believe,Obey,Persevere” Waiting has never been something am very good at, so in this process I find myself falling and rising, I doubt and believe again, and my faith seems really scanty, at this point I ask God to be God. In the course of waiting I have heard God assure me and remind me of the infallibility of his word; but will I wait till the end(Grace). The truth is God's word never changes, it remains the same. There are things I cant explain, wh...
