PEACE INSIDE THE HEARTS EQUALS PEACE ALL AROUND!

 


PEACE INSIDE THE HEARTS EQUALS PEACE ALL AROUND!

Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age: and he made him a coat of many colours. And when his brethren saw that their father loved him more than all his brethren, they hated him, and could not speak peaceably unto him. And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brethren: and they hated him yet the more. And his brethren envied him; but his father observed the saying.

This World, the World of Adam we live in; has never experienced genuine Godly Peace since the spilling of the first human blood when the jealous-driven Cain murdered his brother Abel in cold blood! Peace is the absence of war: we’re told in this weakest definition for Peace.

Israel or Jacob and his twelve sons is the classical example of how the bitterness of the heart in the sons of men always lead to murder. Israel by God’s design was destined to produce the Twelve Tribes of Israel through his seed and Joseph was the youngest and the most loved by his father, because he was born in the advanced years of Israel.

Joseph’s brothers always hated him for everything he never had controlled over, like after his father made him a coat of many colours. Israel loving Joseph more than his other eleven sons pitied the young lad against the hate-filled hearts of his brethren. As if this was not enough, God gave the young Joseph two stunning dreams which resulted in his brothers taking a vow to kill the young lad one day.

Joseph’s dreams asserted by interpretation that one day, he will arise above his eleven brothers who hated his guts. Joseph loved his brothers without pretense, but his brethren were blinded by hatred and never got to feel his unconditional love. Joseph was the man of Peace as his entire life became the very Testament of Peace. Sometimes, your enemies are not necessarily the enemies of God!

Peace is mentioned over three hundred times in the Old Testament and well above one hundred times in the New. Jesus preached a lot about Peace since Jerusalem had been reeling under Romans Occupation for decades: the idea of the Coming Messiah to most Jews meant Liberation from the Roman Oppression. But Jesus!

Suppose ye that I am come to give Peace on Earth? I tell you, Nay, but rather division. I am not here for Politics, Jesus shot back to the chagrin of the political charged Jews. To say they were disappointed with the said Messiah as was confirmed and declared by John the Baptist, is the understatement!

Peace Inside The Hearts of Men Equals Peace All Around: this World is in the mess of incessant wars all around because we have no Peace in our hearts. Forget the lie that man is the victim of his own environment, man was not created for the environment but environment for man.

Our World is currently sitting on top of some Twenty-Seven Live Conflicts: Wars which could have been easily avoided only if these warmongers had Peace Inside their hearts! Evil warmongers like Vladimir Putin care less about World Peace even in the midst of a Global Pandemic!

Thousands of people have been misplaced and millions more find themselves country-less due to these endless wars corroding the corridors of our World. Global Bodies have been rendered useless since the last Two World Wars and all the money in this God-forsaken World: cannot buy Peace.

Peace is the foundation of the heart and flows through our blood streams to effect real environment filled with all calmliness money cannot buy. It begins with each individual to imagine Peace as a Product of one’s heart and unconditional contribution to the sobriety of our World!

War is drunkenness, confusion of the highest disorder resulting in unimaginable blood spill and wasted human capital!

For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink, but Righteousness, and Peace, and Joy in the Holy Ghost. Righteousness and Joy are anchored in Peace: without Peace it's not even possible to love one another.

The Right for every Human Being to claim his Place Under The Sun, is God-ordained. Racism, greed for more power and control has left this World agonizing under Twenty-Seven Wars, all going off at the same time and every day!

Glory to God in the Highest, and on Earth Peace, Good Will toward men!! The Angelic Choristers sang for the Shepherds announcing the Birth of Christ, one fine evening in the humble Town of Bethlehem where our Saviour was born!

Jesus is the Prince of Peace and everyone who believes in Him must bear the Fruits of Peace in his heart before you can yep around about Peace everywhere. Peace In The Hearts Of Men Is Peace All Around! Peace Today, Now or Never! Give Peace A Chance! cried John Lennon and Yoko Ono!

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!
