IF I BE LIFTED UP FROM THE EARTH: I WILL DRAW ALL MEN UNTO ME!

 


IF I BE LIFTED UP FROM THE EARTH: I WILL DRAW ALL MEN UNTO ME!

The incredible story of the Cross is the most recited from all generations since more than 2000 years ago. Some educated fools tried to brand it as one of the famous legends but failed to counter the physical evidence around the Crucifixion of Christ our LORD and Saviour! The Empty Tomb of Christ still standing empty after more than 2000 years ago. This glaring evidence begs for interpretation.

IF I BE LIFTED UP FROM THE EARTH: I WILL DRAW ALL MEN UNTO ME!

Of all the Iconic Religious Leaders, Jesus Christ of Nazareth said and promised: to defeat the power of death and rise from the dead in three days! Buddha died and never rose from the dead. Confucius died when his time on Earth was up: the man never returned despite all his elaborate philosophy! Muhammed died and never returned; his tomb is still occupied in Mecca.

Every man's number of days on Earth are determined by God the Almighty! God is no respecter of persons, declares the Bible.

IF I BE LIFTED UP FROM THE EARTH: I WILL DRAW ALL MEN UNTO ME!

And He took Bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is My Body which is given for you: this do in Remembrance of Me. Likewise, also the Cup after Supper, saying, This Cup is the New Testament in My Blood, which is shed for you.

I am the Way, the Truth and the Life declared Jesus even long before He died on the Cross of Shame. In declaring Himself the Way, Jesus took the Pole Position of the Earth: His Rightful Position since Eternities Past. It is He who sitteth upon the Circle of the Earth. Jesus is and was God even before the advent of the Cross: the Grave didn’t make Him to be God but used it to demonstrate His Power over death and the grave.

I lay my life down as I please and take it back again thru my own Divine Prerogative! I am the Resurrection and the Life, he that believes in Me shall live though he be dead. This is the cup of the New Covenant: do this in Remembrance of Me. The Bread and the Blood of the New Covenant was all the reason for which Christ came down to this lost World.

I am come to seek and to save the lost! The Only Way back to God is thru His Death and Resurrection. Forget Religion it won’t save your soul. Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God and in Me. Jesus’s Disciples were troubled and sore-hearted after He told them in full graphics according to Isaiah 53 just how He was going to die on the Cross of Shame.

IF I BE LIFTED UP FROM THE EARTH: I WILL DRAW ALL MEN UNTO ME!

 Now the God of Peace, that bought again from the dead our LORD Jesus, that Great Shepherd of the Sheep, through the Blood of the Everlasting Covenant. Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through Sanctification of the Spirit, unto Obedience and Sprinkling of the Blood: Grace be unto you, and Peace, be multiplied. For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.

 All the Iconic Religious Leaders had nothing to offer to their faithful followers except to heap tons and tons of unbearable religious rites they’re supposed to adhere to in order to reach Heaven. Come unto Me, ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you Rest! Without Jesus and His Death, Crucifixion, Resurrection and the Precious Blood: these deceived billions stand no chance to escape Hell and the Lake of Fire!

 IF I BE LIFTED UP FROM THE EARTH: I WILL DRAW ALL MEN UNTO ME!

Through Faith, Moses kept the Passover, and the Sprinkling of Blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them. Indeed, Jesus entered Only Once in the Holy of Holies with the Blood of the New Covenant and set us free from sin and the condemnation of the Law, For God so loved the World that He gave His Only Begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have Eternal Life. Lift your eyes up and towards the Cross and Christ shall cleanse all your sins…

MY BABY.... SHE'S ALL I GOT!

Feelings, in whatever mood matter sometimes.. . If I must open the window of my heart and let you see the real backdrop behind this narrative... this is it. After being let down by my first daughter and after we've agreed for her to meet her little sister for the very first time... I was very distraught. She withdrew at the last minute. I went to bed with a very heavy heart. I believe the Spirit whispered inside my sad heart these sweet words in the dead of the night. I tossed and turned as I began to listen to my heart, comforting and propping and lifting me higher than I thought I could ever climb. Everything else is history after this amazing encounter of wrestling with these incredible words and lines in my heart. Waking up the following morning was nothing but a formality as I began to smooth all the way to my last verse. Yes, yes... She's My Baby and She's All I Got ! Reflections, realignment, retracing and recollections of the life spectacled usually incognito to the

IN PURSUIT OF A DREAM!

In Pursuit Of A Dream!   Life is great and life is hard! Life is cruel and life is not fair! These are some of the most common overtones heard daily from Space. If the Almighty were to afford you a rare chance to sit on top of the Globe for one day: you like God, will hear these conjectures coming from the corridors of life below.   We live in the noisiest and the most congested Planet as humans. If God had offered a choice to parents in which Planet, they’d wish to have their babies born. Our population would not have risen to Eight Billion Souls as it were.   There are thousands of adverbs used to describe the very life we’re all part of. Life is subject to individual’s interpretation the same had gone through this twisting and endless labyrinth of Human Race and Pilgrimage to nowhere .   Once upon a time. In the busiest day for parents and their kids, who had excelled after their twelve yearlong school of education and gained their deserved university entrance pass.  Thi

SO, YOU THINK YOU HAVE A COVENANT WITH GOD?

COMMENTS ... Sometimes, to think that I'm in charge of what I write, where and when I like: is just a wish.  Yesterday I wrote a complete Soweto June 16th Uprisings Tribute.. two hours later, I've had to delete the whole thing. Why? Because l had no witness of the Spirit in my heart.  Well, that's just me! God gave me all these Thoughts and Words to play with the rest of my life. I have gazillion words to play around with.  This narrative came over me early this morning. I felt like God was reminding me of the Covenant between Him and Jesus.  Kenneth Copeland and all the false teachers dance around their mega churches and brag about the Covenant they never had.  I'm always left speechless whenever I see thousands run behind false teachers and false prophets as if they cannot read the Bible for themselves.  I follow Jesus in His Word and nobody else. I am the addict of the Doctrine of Christ!  Nothing fascinates and moves my heart and soul like the anointed Word of God!
