The Security of The Lord's Prayer

Matthew 6:9-15 NIV

"This, then, is how you should pray:
"'Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name, your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. And forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one.' For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.

The prayer first calls upon our creator who is indeed our father. For we all are but his children all of us created by him. Among us are some who are but weeds among the wheat. Such on the Father in heaven knows. We go into much strife because of such as who are weeds. Be mindful of this and check your own direction. Turn back from such as you have been following. Dwell on the word of
God for wisdom and guidance. Proverbs teach the right way of loving. There are teachings of prophets, apostles, Jesus such as which would give direction for personal faith in God. As literal as the word is written so it will be of much help.

For there has been confusing interpretations and therefore much controversy, it is wise to take your own time and personally read in seclusion. As you read a novel, go through it, you will catch things of so much interest and will want to study in detail. Gather as much truth as you can. Shield yourself of thoughts that have confused you for so long. Gather as much truth to shield you of subsequent controversy. Go back to it as much as often.

People will see this change in you, for all of a sudden you become somebody of a different thought and almost always angry at what you see that is wrong. Take these times as opportunity to preach and teach the truths you have known.

Give us our daily bread. Spiritual food, in terms of the word of God, to have the hunger to read it.

Forgives us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. Such is how we reconcile with God. And this reconciliation, includes reconciling with those who have wronged. For you can't say that you love God if you don't love your neighbours. For when God loves us, he expects us to love our neighbours as well. The world lacks love. Such is what God brings buy teaching us to love with his love. Do good therefore to others. Forgive as you also have been forgiven.

Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil.

It does not increase our faith to demand to be tempted, for we are under attack already. So much that we outweigh ourselves by extra temptations.

God allows sometimes to pass through temptations when we are about to fight a battle it is to teach us how to overcome such battles ourselves and for those we would help.

Sometimes it is enough for us to learn from his deliverance from evil and use this to help deliver others from same evil. For you always know the paths that led you into the way of evil and harm. You can now go and teach others not to take the same path or at least warn of the dangers in the path, and how to overcome each danger as you learned when you yourself were delivered.

Such is a prayer of communion with our father in heaven, a prayer of provision for our needs, a prayer of repentance, a prayer of deliverance from evil.

God bless as you keep in prayer.

Faith, Hope and Love

I dead.
Faith moved a mountains off my tomb.
I lived.
For the hope to live another day.
I searched.
For love to find many friends.
Wait till the promise comes to pass.

The Beginning and the Essence of the Gospel

There has been a scientific question boggling the minds of scientists concerning the existence of God and creation.

Let me answer that:
The Kingdom of God exist we the lowly see its evidence day and night through all He does for us. You say its all mirth because it is true you have been searching in the wrong direction and not found Him. We searched for Him as well and found Him. How is that?

Let's start from the beginning. Genesis chapter one. It is a story of Beginnings, but the most important and urgent beginning was the beginning of sin. For from such we are captive needing redemption. Never the less, the beginning of all creation is not forgotten.

Genesis 1:1 NIV

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

It just a claim of who created the heavens and the earth. Any lie or untruth about, any contrary claim would be lying wouldn't they?

How he created it, is a question that follows. Believing it or not seems be a choice than a quest for a proof of how is it possible. Nevertheless, it is good to ask questions. In them some have found salvation. The three wise men, found out about Jesus Birth through their search for knowledge. And found him even at the time of his birth. How accurate is that?

What was the state before he started creating it?

Genesis 1:2 NIV

Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.

Genesis 1:3 - 31 explains the rest. Believing is a choice than a quest for truth. For in understanding anything you do have to accept certain conditions. When you have understood these pre-conditions, it is easier to understand the rest.

You see at this moment the question of God's existence does not arise. It is verse obvious for the person who wrote this in such a declarative non-apologetic manner knew what he was talking about and it had to be said before he can say all that he wanted to say. Where does this doubt of God's existence arise? In the hearts of those who have searched and not found him.

Where is the Kingdom of God?

Deuteronomy 30:12-14 NIV

It is not up in heaven, so that you have to ask, "Who will ascend into heaven to get it and proclaim it to us so we may obey it?" Nor is it beyond the sea, so that you have to ask, "Who will cross the sea to get it and proclaim it to us so we may obey it?" No, the word is very near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart so you may obey it.

Jesus reiterates this as well:

Luke 17:20-21 NIV

Once, on being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, "The coming of the kingdom of God is not something that can be observed, nor will people say, 'Here it is,' or 'There it is,' because the kingdom of God is in your midst."

But He says:

John 3:3 NIV

Jesus replied, "Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again."

Why is that? We can now go back to the beginning and read Genesis 2. Because of sin all creation became subject to sin and death. Yet God loves His creation and would want to redeem it. How? By letting them be born again through Jesus. For through Adam, we died, we have to be born again through Jesus.

How can we be born again?

Be born of Water and the Holy Spirit. Don't ask me how effective that is. I have seen it importance but I cannot explain how that should be. For it the work of God to redeem a man. My part would be, to Baptize like John did. To Baptize in the name of The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit. Using water, yes H20 we already know. But it is indeed the same water we baptize with. The rest is the work of the Holy Spirit. And its effect is true and evident to those who believe the Gospel we have preached to them. I have seen people change from just being baptized.

I heard testimonies of those who were healed by just being baptized.

Here is why? When we preach, our intention is to point the peoples attention to God. Who when they are convinced and turn to, they ask Him in repentance, to save them. For their sin becomes evidence to them and their hopelessness about it becomes real and their need to make peace with whom they have displeased.
God now comes in forgiveness and reconciliation to those who have repented. This is only possible within. For one can pretend before the preacher. His eyes are then still in the wrong direction.

His eyes indeed have to be towards God. And His prayer, to be towards Him who can save Him.

The simplest prayer of salvation is, Jesus, save me! For whoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Ask Him to Baptize you with the Holy Spirit. For it is the Holy Spirit who is supposed to teach you the rest of the way to your specific salvation. Within you.

You will find yourself liking more and more the things of God. Some of the change within you is evident to yourself. Some of it, you may not notice but others will see the difference. For your faith, they will tell you saw.

How did that happen? The change, the salvation? It's within you. You can explain all that you experienced for its evident to you. Is it possible for others to understand? Of course they have seen the evidence of the change that is why they are wondering. In their frustration to not be able to change like you have and not to know, its the reason for their anger and jealous. In their frustrated search, they conclude God does not exist.

He does, just trust His directions how you can find Him you will find Him. Be born again. Of water and the Holy Spirit. In the name of the Father, The Son and the Holy Spirit. Ask of this of your pastor, he will be more delighted to help.

O, I Solve Problems - oisp.

Desiderata

Why do I write twice, Desiderata? The words are good to remember and Keep.

Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant, they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit.

If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is
a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let not this blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially do not
feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.

Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore, be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams; it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful.

Strive to be happy.

--- Max Ehrmann, 1927

I will strive to be Happy, Desiderata. After all that's my name.

Rejoice, I say it again, Rejoice.

To whom it may concern: Desiderata

Desiderata, in search for things, I found God. It was God whom I sort thereafter. It was God who started adding these things, I searched, Desiderata.

Who could stop God from adding all these things? Desiderata, none! None, Desiderata!

My comment on Malawi Democrat website

Here is a situation:
The University of Malawi, is composed of 5 constituent colleges. Chancellor College is one of them. Of these only Chancellor College and The Polytechnic joined in the lecturers striking. Bunda debated among themselves, and found the cause not worth striking for. Did not join. The University Council, looked at the matter at hand and made the same conclusion as Bunda. The University Council release a press statement stating their stand on the matter. This can be found in the Daily Times Paper of 31 March 2011. The German Students and Indeed the Amnesty International could request this press statement direct from the University Council itself, from Blantyre News Paper Limited which publishes The Daily Times, (http://bnltimes.com). They could directly contact the parties involved in the conflict and use first hand information which is very accessible indeed.

This issue seems to be politically motivated but some politicians who take advantage of any issue that is likely to start a national rebellion against the government. This lecturer event is not a new one.

On this issue, I should say of all the people who were arrested to stabilize the nation while it was demostrating to present their concerns on the fuel shortage so that people should not turn the even violent as it has been in Egypt which was still on around the time, Dr. Blessings Chisinga happened to be one of them. Does Dr. Blessings Chisinga enjoy special privilege to turn the fuel demonstration violent because he happens to be a lecturer?

The Chancellor College have handled this issue wrongly to interpret it as an issue of academic freedom and be so adamant to boycott classes.

The German students should be concerned about the fellow students who were demonstrating to make the lecturers come back to class.

To Amnesty International: you should consider the fact that the Student's right to education is being violeted by the lecturers refusing to go back to class. You should also consider that this issue is being handled with political motivation which will not help the lecturers nor the students themselves.

It is better resolved leaving government out of it, if anything, the direct parties to contact resolving these issues are first the university council, the lecturers, understand their fears and clear them out.

If anything, the police may be required to compensate for assaulting the lecturer but then it should also compensate for all others arrested over this period.

That would be a lasting solution than going political about it again.
