BABY MOSES

At the 3rd year after the birth of Moses, Pharaoh was sitting at a ceremony with his family and all the
princes of the kingdom together with the young Moses.

And the young Moses stretched forth his hand upon the king's head, and took the crown from the
king's head and placed it on his own head.

Pharaoh and all the princes were terrified when they saw what the boy had done. Pharaoh with astonishment asked for the advise against the young Moses for what he did.

Balaam son of Beor the magician tried convincing the king and princes that the King should kill the young boy(Moses) "If it please the king, let us now spill his blood upon the ground, lest he grow up and take
away the government from thy hand, and the hope of Egypt perish after he shall have
reigned."

Balaam requested pharaoh to call all judges & wisemen of Egypt to determine the judgement of death to the young Moses.

And Pharaoh sent all the wisemen of Egypt before him and an angel of the Lord came amongst them, and he was like one of the wise men of Egypt.

And the king said to the wise men, Surely you have heard what this Hebrew boy(Moses) who is
in the house has done, and thus has Balaam judged in the matter.

And the angel, who seemed like one of the wise men of Pharaoh, answered and said as
follows, before all the wise men of Egypt and before the king and the princes; "If it please the king let the king send for men who shall bring before him an onyx stone( It is a black shiny mineral gemstone) and a coal of fire(charcoal), and place them before the child, and if the child shall take the onyx stone, then shall we know he used wisdom to take Pharaoh's crown and we must kill him.

But if he takes his hand upon the coal, then shall we know that it was not with Wisdom/knowledge that he took Pharaoh's crown and the boy moses shall not be killed.

And the thing seemed good in the eyes of the king and the princes, so the king did
according to the word of the angel of the Lord who the king thought was one of the Egyptian wisemen. He ordered both the Onyx stone and the coal to be brought before the 3 year old Moses.

And they placed the boy before them, and the lad endeavored to stretch forth his hand to
the onyx stone, but the angel of the Lord took his hand and placed it upon the coal, and
the coal became extinguished in his hand, and he lifted it up and put it into his mouth,
and burned part of his lips and part of his tongue, and he became heavy in mouth and
tongue( A reason Moses was a stammerer).

And when the king and princes saw this, they knew that Moses had not acted with
wisdom in taking off the crown from the king's head. So the king and princes refrained from killing Moses and he remained in Pharaoh's house, growing up, and the Lord was with him.

This Man JABEZ

 His mother had named him Jabez, saying, "I gave birth to him in pain." Jabez was more honorable than his brothers.(1 Chronicles 4:9-10). But see, his Mother's honor could not end the struggles in his life; he was in pain just like his name. From the time of conception we see pain, his childhood, we see pain with endless tears of sorrow. And even as a man, he still went through difficulties.
Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, saying, "Oh that you would bless me indeed and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from the evil one."(1 Chronicles 4:10) And God granted his request.
Jabez which meant pain was changed and his life took an about turn and his life was never in pain.
This is a similar story like in many peoples life where their circumference wall is made of unending pain,sorrow, sicknesses of all types. From birth, thinking the light will come as time goes but all is in vain. From rejection to hatred all by the society. But pardon, like him Jabez the Heavens will listen, the heavens will bend to pick your shatters in your tatters. Just like Jabez your cry will reach the high Throne and your story will change.
May our cries be heard by The Elohim, May He who heard Jabez cry and saw his restlessness see our situations in a unique way.

David the KING

The story of King David is what have puzzled me. From conception to time of his Kingly anointing is not just another story. I have been questioning why did God just openly declare his love and relate His heart to that of this King(Acts 13:22, King David is called a man after God's own heart).
The childhood of King David is full of tribulations,trials,mockery,rejection and all tests that came on his way. He is rejected by his family and that is from a 'twist' that was done by his MOTHER,Nitzevet though she is not named in the Bible.
Jesse who never knew that he was the king's 'BIOLOGICAL FATHER' put 'his' son in rejection, this is evidently seen when asked by Prophet Samuel of any other child and Jesse can tell his view of the little boy. The little boy was disregarded by his almost every member of his family and was seen as an outcast; his brother dismayed and mocked him when the little boy stole a moment to go and inquire about Goliath, they down looked him and saw him as valueless.

The little King's family was never bothered on his safety, it's only through God that he used to manage killing beasts once they attacked his flock. Though nothing is stated in the bible of King David's Mother it is however written in 'other' books and studies. Nitzevet as recorded on the studies is the only one who lived in sorrows for her son and also knew the truth that Jesse was the father of David.

God have His Unique way of strategising one's life and David is a real example on this. One may pass through valleys of snares and even death itself, One may dine with all tribulations, one may walk in the dark shadows of death and still be in God's life big FOCUS. This story of King David maybe happened for you and me to get courage and serve God's Purpose in our lives.
You may be in almost similar situation just like King David's Childhood life BUT get patience for your yoke is being loosened and your purpose in life will unveil. It is somehow unbelievable in the flesh but see it with your inner eyes,eyes that will reflect God's big picture.

I TRY TO IMAGINE

I was told by that Sunday-school teacher…….that you are “GOD”,

YOU live in the heavens where no “human” goes there with their bodies,

YOU watch us all, know us more than we know and even know our tomorrow,

YOU are the ONLY LIVING GOD, and you created all even the “gods”,

I am an infant in the world will less effect to it,

I try to imagine your LOVE.

I went on to enquire how you see in the dark, how you hear secrets loudly,

YOU know the number of hair in all of us, we are in YOUR palm of your HAND,

YOU are the SHEPHERD, We are YOUR flock, you never let us be maimed by wild,

YOU are the TEACHER, we are your “pupils”, you are there to see us get,

YOU are in Heaven, we are on earth, YOU never rest guarding us,

I try to imagine your LOVE.

I have read of Israelites and how you fought for them, YOUR LOVE,

YOU called them your children, they called you their GOD,

YOU were feared by their enemies, they feared you wrath to them,

AND how YOU would fill their bellies with meat, quench their thirst with milk,

This leaves me imagining your LOVE,

I try to imagine your LOVE.

I got that you have a SON, His name is JESUS, YOUR begotten,

YOU send him on earth, our mess couldn’t be redeemed by animal blood,

YOU saw it well to send him down, where he even was ridiculed,

YOU could have gotten rid of us, create again, another perfect creation,

But to YOU, I try to imagine YOUR LOVE, I completely end not getting it,

I try to imagine your LOVE.

The Great man in the less man

When we were young because comparing our times with nowadays is a good disaster, those whom their parents were teachers (I was not in that privileged group) could get some favors and some feared respect. Either good in academics or not they were recognized in class, football pitch, and in all they could not get into that noisemakers list (I think corruption is that old) and I can’t talk of the monto thing and they were the only ones who knew more about socks and the shop  handkerchiefs

May we know that we were not just named by God but He did it Himself…yes, Gen 1:26" And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness:"  He ordered that let us make man. I may not go into details as that could be another unique topic (I won’t mention about Eve in this for now), On reading about God and Who He is, with all superiority, Mightiness (Also I tend to know that His name “I AM WHO I AM” is a mystery in itself, He saw it not good to name a man but went on to make ‘in His own likeness’.  It could be also be pleasing but there is a secret behind the reason.

Something have been disturbing  and got a heavy heart on trying to link the reasons behind  making man in our own likeness….why  and yet man could be named just like the other creations, what was the exemption meant for?

After God created and all looked awesome, He Himself could descend and tour on to be impressed by the creations……From my mind I bet man was the manager, managing director, supervisor for He was superior and anyway I can’t see the likes of warthog, hyenas, zebras, even lions ruling. So Adam and Eve could walk around with God eh chatting, and this pleased God. This must be the great life moments which man could walk and chat with the highest Living God but without any knowledge of who I AM WHO I AM.

So next time you are down in that circumstance or even the heavy load of problems pressing you to see yourself a Man/Woman of a lesser God know that you got a superior being in you who can command and utter blessing upon your life, simply because you were created from His hands, you got God’s breath in you.
