WINE MINGLED WITH MYRRH

AND THEY GAVE HIM TO DRINK WINE MINGLED WITH  MYYRH
                  
Indeed even throughout the toughest of all his  earthly experiences the Man Of Sorrows refuses to kowtow to the demands of his great adversaries. So great was his predicament that   wine and myrrh seem to  be   the only comfort to a weary and saddened soul. Yet even in the most discomforting of all situations, the Son of God refuses to accept the displeasing offer of his foes. For a man in pain, will myrrh not  provide the requisite analgesic effect needed to feel numb? Will not the fermented  taste of wine not  cause not so much drowsiness that he can forget his immense grief? Is he not the man with a “shattered spirit”?  Betrayed by close friends, dejected by men, forsaken of his Father he throws away the last treat offered by a dying world. Nay, he would rather be a “glorious crown of flowers for his people who survive”. He would endure pain for the “joy that was set before him”.Yea the  Son of God for whom it pleased the Father for  “his fullness to dwell in” would rather forsake the pleasurable demands of this world and hang to his rugged cross.  Well, another  grascious gospel says vinegar, all context seems the same…the Son of God will never drink anything that is unworthy of his “wineskin” This is for the believer a great lesson…No one desiring to trample the winepress with his Master will be willing to combine whatever appears good and bad, no unworthy music, transgressing movies nor corrupt communication should be  seen springing up from the inner capillaries  of our  redeemed arteries.  We should seek for that which is true, honorable, just, pure, lovely,of good report and praiseworthy. Let us fight on and trample upon the winepress and splash the blood of our foes on our garment….knowing surely that we acquire a great allergy to any WINE MIXED WITH MYRRH

IN THE BEGINNING IT WAS NOT SO

In the beginning was a sign, a sign that God existed before time For time was just an invention, birthed forth from his royal robe to bring to pass that which had been ordained. In the beginning was an emphasis. For God gazed right through the heart of his creation and breathed his breath of love, for he saw that it was good.This was what he lived for, breathed for, been for. For there was a sculpture of grace, emanating as creeps of beings emerged and strains of trees grew taller.This what what it was, as the nutshell of sin remained uncracked, tingling under what was glorious, what was hopeful, what was perfect, what was wondrous beyond the light.For there was the light shining and making himself know to men as they said our Father, but that was the beginning. - It was the beginning of many things.It was the beginning of marvel, of pain, of disappointment as we saw God pulling himself away from his own works, his own love and his own vow. - The marriage had been broken, his dome fo

letter from beyond many seas

=letter from beyond many seas== Maybe the reindeer of love tried to sledge my hopes away We were meant to be together , stick together Indeed time travels but like Hiro Nakamura I could travel through time And still not forget the cracks you have made on my watch I could breathe in the sad aroma of despair because distance cannot drown the breath of love within my heart,and render it a vaccum. You are my joy. Our love remains the hidden feat of the world, the glory the cameras of this world have not captured. Time keeps throwing me back to the moment I first saw you It was like a field laced with sunflower. The radiance never wore off. The awe never left Today we have come a long way Indeed the oracles of God sent us on separate ways, because God could trust his favourite soldiers. He trusted you and I It was not even the cause of the battle that kept me sane.It was the remembrance of the thought that you are still around It has been my main motivation. It is what kept me

BUT THE LORD DID NOT RAISE HIS HANDS TOWARDS THE LEADERS

Prejudice and a great falsehood has run through the bloodstream of all men, and has troddled down from each generation to next. A great accussation lay unstrapped from the neck of the Most High for men thinketh not as they ought of Him. He has been referred to as the God unapproachable, a living scale that measures men's iniquity and lays await to bemoan and wreck even  the more, the pain of their fallen nature.Stories of his just wrath seem to cover his immense love.For men, He is a God who cannot relate with the feelings of their infirmities but would condescend to bring down his plagues in the event of any failure.He is tried in his own court for the delusion of men bringeth him this far.But let it be known to all men that it is He who gave his Son to die for all men.Let it be echoed accross nations that it is he that has loved them with an everlasting love.Let the sign of manna be brought, for it holds prove that he rescued Israel from its burdened slavery.Keep not back, but en
