Daily writing

So, your soul is grieved this morning. Yea, it is hard to see some truths, My son. How pointless the vanities of man are. Here you sit, with nothing more than My labour; while the world work themselves to exhaustion, for what? Do you have shortcomings? Happy is he that can be satisfied with bread. Yea, if you feast every day; then the feasting becomes as your daily requirement; what is there then to look forward to? When you have all you need; what are you working for, then?

I know your heart My son, I know the truth of you and all.

Mattit'YAHU, what words can convince a stubborn mule to heed your direction? What shall you do, when the donkey is done with walking? So has man become. He only does what he agrees to do; by oppression, he agrees to heed to it. That is the truth. Man is kept captive by his own perspective. And still, so the wicked and the righteous breath at the same air. Good and evil, intermingled. It shall not remain like this forever; for a day of judgment is sure to come; yea! Then the goats will be separated from the sheep. It shall come, for most, most unexpectantly.

Looking at the state of this world leaves the believer depressed. And yet, is there then an opportunity to speak with some return. If all agree that evil is good; then the world has become evil.

I know what troubles your mind. Your words, all of them in multitude is overbearing. Yea! Just like Felix heard enough and could stand no more. This world will tolerate some good; until that points out their very own shame.

You are left weary by the words of Solomon. When the wise come to the full conclusion of what the result of human efforts are.

Prayer

Lord, my GOD Almighty; Oh! Comforter of my soul. Comfort me in this; what then is the point? I speak, but no one listens. Yes, some, but so few. I have thought about life, LORD, how I hoped that I could have impress on more; that the Way of Salvation is worth living for. YOUR will be done, LORD; lead me on YOUR Path. Let my efforts be unto YOUR cause. The rest is all in vain. Why must I worry about another, when they cannot worry for themselves? Man direct his efforts at fruitless trees. They cannot bear fruit, for it is not in them. How many times must the hammer fall on the nail, before it sinks in? Help me LORD, for I am depressed; man's choices lead nowhere good. AMEN

Keep up your efforts, Mattit'YAHU; work at a steady pace. Do not run too fast, less you tire before the end. No! Place one foot in front of the other, keep moving to your destination. Only he that stops or walk backwards, can't end the race. Walk then when you must, but do not stop. Pace yourself, plan your most favourable route and keep walking until your walking is done. And of all the concerns of man; give yours to Me. For, I will meet you at every need.

Shalom

Introspection

I must admit, this morning after quiet time, I felt floored. Just reading the words articulated, that is so real for me in my daily watching of things in this world. The mannerisms of people who choose not to take on the olive branch, rejecting their salvation. Even of those that take it steps further and have actually given themselves over to all kinds of wickedness. Intentional wickedness. My heart cannot stand it, and yet, it must.

This weekend I had my two daughters over at home for the weekend; and it was such a blessing. The world, however, does not hit pause just because we want to take a break.  Moreso in the Spiritual Things; look, it is my full belief that things that manifests here on earth comes from the Spiritual first. So I see things, like Mother's Day and Youth Day being celebrated before Father's Day in the year; and personally, I don't care. But here is what does get to me, it is not according to GOD's Word, that upsets me. GOD's order is circumvented, how can I be unphased about that? Then I know who was behind the planning, because the fruit of it screams out. If you want to honour me then, honour Him that made me. Better yet, get rid of the days that seek to bring glory to man for one day of the year, when the instruction from God is to do it every day.

So, I was emotionally already there, when I started reading of Solomon's conclusions in Ecclesiastes this morning. I mean, GOD's message to me on Friday was hinting at it already. (Read here) Sometimes a person is just a little more aware of this "dog-chase-the-tail" type of life people live; and sadly, (and how I hate it) I often get suckered into it too. I have left behind that mentality; I want to live a life that is God's Kingdom Focussed. Slowly, that slight depression is fuelled by deeper realisations; that takes my countenance near anger. The church has been ill-represented by divisions of the Christian faith; and that counts to the enemy as a win for now. Have we forgotten that Christ said a house divided against itself cannot stand?  And yet, look at all the denominations out there in the world, each with its own name after some sort of life, reform or renewal. My friend, Revelations speaks on that.

So, all of you can call yourself by the denomination of your choosing; let your will then be done for you. I believe in Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of GOD; whoever believes that with me, is a brother or a sister in faith. I won't stand for human interpretations; I won't stand in any form of elitism, for only GOD can judge fairly over man. I am not a separatist from race, gender or nation; I am separated unto GOD in Christ, yes, I am separated unto His Kingdom. That is it. The KING will determine who comes in and who not. You want to see what I see, my friend? Do you? Let me show you what I see...

Denomination... what I see is "Demon-I-Nation" 

English is a cursive tongue, however, sometimes it shows you exactly what something is. I know, there are those that will say I take it too far, I tell you, my friend; if you have seen the things that I have seen, hear the things I have heard, you will call me out for being too timid in my explanation. We write our names in print on contracts, we take to ourselves "lot-numbers" and when we sign on the dotted line, we sign in cursive. We give the state "soul-prints" of our children at birth and get issued a slave number. I am not the one in illusions; the world has been fooled all together. So, you slave away, all week long; and at the end of it, instead of rest on the Sabbath, you are given a "weak-end."

I will end this day's introspection with a relevant recent video.  If you have the strength to look at true history, this video below should hit the nail relatively hard on the head. This is a "question-everything-you have-been-told-moment."

May the LORD our GOD, bless and keep each one of you. Until tomorrow.

Shalom.
