I contributed to the atmosphere I experienced in church today

As I prepared for church today, I involved my mind and my heart in the quiet conversations of life.
I wanted to to seat strategically next to people who didn't know me(that tells you I probably did not attend my local assembly), I wanted to let lose, I wanted to appear before the mercy seat and plead for my life, I wanted to be alone in a world only I knew about, I wanted to tell Him how much I had missed communion with Him, I wanted to let Him know what He meant to me, I just wanted to be the redeemed me!!

I got to church 10 minutes into the service, found the worship leader into the first set of songs ( I guessed), but just when I had spotted the perfect seat, the Usher...oh the Usher!!, he gently pointed to a seat next to the aisle..
I adjusted and quickly refocused to what had now build up to a well of expectation!I wanted to take a journey to the Lord uninterrupted.

Sitting there I closed my eyes, zoned out to what was happening and begun walking, I had an urgency I needed to address, it was the craving of my heart longing to pour itself out, longing for an emptying and a fresh refill.

Well I did not quite analyse the worship leader's dress until I was done with this urgency. You see I realized, you're responsible to some extend for the atmosphere you experience in church, as much as the worship leader is, you too are you.

What sacrifice did you come carrying? What was the state  of my heart when I walked in? What had I prepared to offer to the Lord? What script was in my heart? What was the overflow of my heart?
Sacrifices are a heart affair...

What you experienced in church was a good percentage of the environment you created before you got there. Take to the Lord a prepared heart..

                           
 I will prepare my oil,
To you I will pour it out,
The depths of my heart are true,
Her weights only You can handle,
Her rivers flow

Talk to me, 
In a tongue I can understand,
Opening your wells to me,
Let me drink
This river flows

Waiting here,
In a world known to me,
Call me deeper, 
I will come,
This river flows,

I am not afraid,
Of what the river brings,
Settling in her depths,
Let me find healing,
This river flows

Fight for her purity.

So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don't fall! (1 Corinthians 10:12 NIV), It is wisdom to know when you win today tomorrow  still calls you to walk carefully.  Men don't stumble on huge rocks but small stones or probably tiny obstructions that are at first not visible.  When we ignore the little foxes in our fields we risk the danger of feeding them  what's meant to be our harvest at some point. It is again wisdom to watch what we allow to breed in our hearts. Is it possible to pull those thoughts down as soon as they are conceived in our minds? Yes, bringing them to the obedience of Christ (2 Corinthians 10:5)...if we fail in the initial stages of their conception , we end up nurturing them in our hearts and before we know it we spew them unconsciously with our mouths; we gave them  a chance to grow! No wonder David said,'' May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, Lord, my rock (...

What has been threatening your peace?

      1 Peter 5:7(KJV) ...Casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you - Do we often forget this simple sure promise? Yes we do, I do many times. Threats( Unstable jobs, unemployment, lack, Unstable families, addictions etc...) rob us peace, they make us question what tomorrow holds, they place before us an uncertain future. Friends in a world that crumbles into hopelessness and emptiness everyday, the certainty of life can only be found in one Man His name is Jesus. I have watched countless people put their hope and lives in the hands of this Man  and today they walk and live in peace knowing someone holds their world in His hands. Nothing is too hard for Him to do, He said it:   Jeremiah 32:27(KJV)  Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for me? Trust Him. Trusting Him takes courage to move North when everyone says move south, because His ways are not our( include your friends) ways Isaiah 55:8-9 For My th...

The privilege to worship

The soul has a place of refreshing, swimming in the river of peace and life, It finds satisfaction in its creator, it finds its healing in the hands of the potter, The Kindness and the mercy of Jesus sets it free to worship. It's in worship where the soul craves for a pure life, It's in worship where the soul craves to live righteously.  This is the freedom and the privilege the soul cries for!
