YOUR PRESENCE

Uwepo wako nahitaji maishani
(Your presence is what I need in my life)
Uwepo wako, wa dhamana sana
(Your presence is very valuable )
Mimi sitoki hata siendi
(I will not move or go)
Bila uwepo wako, Bwana
(Without your presence, Lord)

We have been advised over and over to always begin our day with God. Oh, before I forget, Happy new month. The year is almost gone but it
does not mean that time for reforms has also past. It's never too late to correct something in our lives or to start up a positive habit.
One thing that I really admire about the leaders in the Bible like, Moses, Joshua and David is that they were careful not to move without the leadership of God. It was very obvious when God was with the Israelites because they worn battles against all odds and every time that God would lift His presence off them they would fail miserably to the point of the ark of the covenant being taken captive. The presence of God was very vital and the psalmist wrote and said that whoever dwells in the presence of God, under the shadow of the almighty will say of the Lord that He is his refuge, his God in whom he trusts. Psalms 91 shows us some of the benefits of being in God's presence.
There's is no place as peaceful, as gracious, as full of love as in the presence of God. Sometimes when we are surrounded by so many uncertainties all we need to do is to soak in the presence of God. There we are edified and renewed and reminded of His promises that never fail and His word that never returns unto Him void. More importantly, it is where our true identity is shaped. The best way we can serve is by first being filled with the real personification of the Christ, the greatest leader and servant of all time.
It's not too late to start. This year can end in a better way when we end it in the presence of the Most High. Let's tap to the higher calling and go deeper.

    We indeed need God's presence to be & go with us everywhere & always! As Moses requested God as mentioned in Exodus 33:15 & Moses indeed enjoyed great stuff with His fellowship with God. This song by Reuben Kigame crowns it well > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdzeQIsVOAY

ABIDE WITH ME

Photo from youtube.com This post is not for one who got it under control. This post is not for you who thinks you have to do a number of things to get God's attention. This post is not for one who already has a list of this years resolution and is willing to make everything work. This one today is for you who only knows that God is with you and that is all that matters. One who is aware of the new year but still has a junk of the previous years trying to weigh them down.

YOU NEVER LEAVE ME

Umeahidi ewe Bwana huniachi (You have promised oh Lord that you never leave me) Hadi mwisho wa dahari ulisema huniachi (To the end of ages you said, you will not leave me) Wewe ni Mungu uliye mwaminifu siku zote (You always a faithful God) Mimi ninaiweka Imani yangu kwako Bwana (I put my faith on you Lord) Today I just sat down and remembered the faithfulness of the Lord. These are the wings I needed to soar with in this new month.

PEOPLE

We all care. Most of us like to say we do not really care what anyone thinks about us but truth is that deep down we really do. It's just that some of us have slowly been sucked into approval addiction while some have gradually realized that it really shouldn't matter that much so we try not to let others' opinions sway us. All the same, even those of us who claim not to care actually want everyone to believe that we are unmoved by their opinions so really, it's a big deal. 123rf.com They are the best and the worst you've created Loving and hating and opinionated Loners in basements and those congregated Deliver me... Far from the peace, from ashore I was sinking Deep in the ocean of thoughts they were thinking Don't know what  validation I was seeking Deliver me from... I believe there's nothing wrong with caring about opinions. Because sometimes we're able to change our lives' direction for the better because we listened t

REMEMBER

Image
Sometimes things go dark. So dark that life ceases to make sense... Sometimes things go wrong and just when we think they can't get any worse they actually do... Sometimes we get weak...or as we like to say, life happens. This song, I believe, is for those times when life happens. Because those are the times we are prone to forget the truth we very much proclaim to know. Those  are the times we question our faith in God, we question His love for us, we question the very Words we so clearly heard Him speak to us. This song is a reminder to never forget in the darkness what we know to be true in the light. Cheta, Cheta (remember, remember)

OF HONEST PRAYERS...

Image
We've heard it said countless times that when it comes to talking to God, there's no sort of perfect way to it. What matters most is the state of our hearts.  A broken and contrite heart- these, He will not despise. A good number of people say music gets them through pretty much everything. The truth is that music is powerful. However there have been times in my life when nothing made sense. When I say nothing I mean even the songs that would normally be very helpful were simply just nicely arranged words with a melody. I would be in so much turmoil that I’d think of the times when one song or the other lifted my spirit and wonder what changed. Saviour please, take my hand
