Standing Beside Myself... The Conclusion!

Standing Beside Myself… The Conclusion!

O mortal man, is this your body that you wore on earth? God asked.
As I continued to wiggle like a worm in the presence of the Almighty: my pounding heart gave me no break either.

You see, no mortal can stand face to face with the invisible God. His divine presence all around is all the assurance you need, to know for sure!

There’s no human vocabulary expressive enough to articulate this tangibleness taking place; when mortality collides with Eternity and the Divine!
The voice of God coming through my conscience in a still small voice... felt like I was wearing a divine blanket all over my body.

Yes, yes, my Good LORD. This is my body that I wore on earth.
My voice trembled with divine fear in a worshipping tone. There was no scary fear in my heart as I answered God laying face down.

This was thee moment I felt trapped within the capsule of time. Suddenly, time was no longer a passing moment in seconds, minutes, and hours.
Time became my world and universe which removed all human emotions... this felt more real than pinching my own body.

In the Divine Presence of the Almighty there are no invading and wondering thoughts allowed.... there’s no what if!

Do you remember the verse in your Bible which read: The soul that sinneth, it shall die?
Yes, most Divine and gracious Lord, I can remember the words of the Prophet Ezekiel!

The condition of your sinful body which stained your soul, leaves me with no choice! God continued.
Unlike in the earthly courts, when God passes His Divine Judgement on and against you... your heart rhymes with every single word uttered.

This is the reason the great Apostle Paul said, “That no flesh should glory in the Presence of God!”

There are no objections, protests, or shouts; when mortals stand before the Judgement Seat of God.
You can give no reasons and arguments why you failed God. Really? Because your heart and soul already know the truth.

“How much less man, that is a worm? and the son of man, which is a worm?” Cried Job
“But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people.” King David, replied.

It’d be easier for all men, to always remember their limits when contemplating the Divine things of God.
In a split second, I believe I heard God saying to me: “Go back to your body mortal man... Remember that Time is what I am.”

He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?

Finding myself back inside my earthly body I remembered: Justice, Mercy, and my unwavering Walk with God!

Tuning myself back into this earthly frequency left me numb as if I was paralyzed from head to toe.

O what a mighty God we serve! In the midst of my confusion I felt the Presence of the Spirit rising from my feet right up my hairs.

This was God reassuring me, I was not dreaming nor hallucinating... this little trip into Eternity lasted for like a mere five minutes... covered every day I breathed on earth.

Hello. I am here today, to tell you that God is more real, more tangible than your metaphysical world... including everything you can feel, hear, see, or touch.

But there is a spirit in man, reads my Bible. One Final Day after you’ve breathed your last this side of Heaven.... you will find out that the God you blasphemed, is more real than your heartbeat.

And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:
Because He hath Appointed a Day, in the which He will judge the world in righteousness by that Man whom He hath ordained; whereof He hath given assurance unto all men, in that He hath Raised Him from the dead.

Oh, I see! So, you are one of those foolish mortals who believe they are responsible and remain in control of their free chosen world.

I hear you say, “I do not believe in God, I am an atheist therefore, God cannot touch me even when I’m dead!”

My dear friend. You want to tell me that everyone colliding with your so-called universe; lives according to and obeys your rules?

 It is dangerous and fearful, to fall into the hands of the Almighty God... unreconciled with Him

BETWEEN THE EARS!

  Between The Ears! Hearing in a newborn baby, is one of the earliest activated senses... even before this baby could see. Words get spoken out and start to reverberate around the head and get trapped between the ears before they make sense to the brain. Babies, learn to interpret sign language and by reading lips ahead of understanding the language spoken in their homes. Is it not amazing and refreshing that we learned to smile after seeing our mothers demonstrate their warm smiles and mimicked them joyfully kicking with all fours? Between the ears... Our North and South Poles... sustaining our lives through balanced intelligence. It is hard for me to believe that the balance exerted by my feet originate from the water level maintained between my ears. Nobody understands Trigonometry more than God. Hello. Our bodies and beings are 100% mathematical and 100% Physics. Between the ears... In case no one ever told you this… not even your teachers. Every single pers...

ARE WE THERE YET!

  Are We There Yet! But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in Heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. I can still vividly remember, how people in South Africa were outraged and incensed after a baby of six months was brutally raped. I was seething and frothing with unimaginable revenge and pure hatred for that evil man who had raped the helpless baby! This was back in the late nineties. O’ for the pain we all felt in our hearts, for this evil which we had never heard of before! There is something strange about human nature. Shocking!   How soon do we accommodate evil and brush it off when it happens on a rebound? This is the reason it is always impossible for man to eschew evil because our very frame of our being is rooted way deep inside the vestiges of evil. Man without the Fear of God is a sinner and becomes evil personified! We are nothing without God in our lives. Are we there yet, is this the End of the World? These ar...

CHECKMATE!

  Checkmate! What would you say, if I suggested to you that life is one hell of a game, began with teams of players and continued to play till all the original teammates were dead? No matter how you look around your once busy world, this place is getting lonelier. My mind keeps on jumping backwards, painfully reminding me of my lost world. Just the other day. I was going through my old photos, looking at these unforgettable pictures of my colleagues I shot back in our offices. Why does it never occur to our minds to be observant of all the things we do and the way we do them? Why does no one, ever look around and say, people, let us enjoy this day together as if it was the end of the world? This life is not a 200m dash race but a life-long marathon. Checkmate! It is life itself in a game of chess where we all play together as a unified team against life. We try our best to outpace life in exchange for length of days. Sadly, one by one, checkmated by life. We lose ...
