THY WILL BE DONE

hey guys, i know it's been a month since the last post and i apologise. This post is a major one for me because a lot of it if not all is based on stuff i passed through in the past few weeks....
Renew my will from day to day;
Blend it with Thine and take away
All that now makes it hard to say,
"Thy will be done."

That's the 7th verse of a hymn by Charlotte Eliott "My God, My father while i stray". I heard this first on good friday at my church service, and this was the only verse that struck me....coincidentally the minister made us sing this verse three times. And I thought back to Jesus' prayer before his crucifixion and the bit where he went "not my will, but yours...'. I did not realise that in the weeks to follow, i would be tried on these very words. This is a period where a lot of people are expecting things.......not like we dont always, but now especially, there are a lot of expectations concerning admissions and finals....and so on. For me it was with my admissions, i knew i wanted to go and somehow i honestly did not think anything would go wrong with that...but guess wat?....things went REALLY wrong. At a point i thought all the schools i applied to were against me and it seemed like i was just piling up all them rejection letters. I could not believe it, i was so angry with everybody...especially God and i hated hearing "dont worry, you're smart, you'll get into a school, no doubt"....i especially hated hearing "Just pray that God's will be done"......i was just thinking, when exactly will that be? when there are no more schools left?

The one night while it was raining, i was sitting in the dark listening to the radio....and Martina McBride's (i love her by the way) song, anyway, was playing....that was all it took for me to admit defeat...i couldnt fight God (maybe other can but i cant)....and so i just started talking, told him i was tired of being mad and sad...i just wanted to get into a good school....no the right school. Remember the 3 minutes relief thing i wrote about sometime ago....well i felt relief, i poured it all out and just said.... "you know what God, just take me where you want me to go...cuz i know wherever it is, it will be the right place"

Well now, how do i feel?...Hopeful, the hard part now is making a choice...cuz he has prepared a table before me..such that i do not lack..i cannot be needy.

So people whenever you're in a fix...remember to let his will be done. Can i get a Halleluia somebody?

GET KNOWLEDGE & UNDERSTAND IT!!!

Wordz of knowledge from Godz Vesselz

The Power of Thought
Before you start something you must create the right thought about whatever it is that you want to do. You must align your thoughts with the project ahead of you. It is a law that you must not get involved in anything, whilst harbouring bad feelings within you about the thing, or the person that made the demand on you. (2 Corinthians 12:7-10). Find joy in the task ahead no matter how daunting it may seem, it is an opportunity for you to expand. If your heart is grieved or it has a bad feeling towards your action it nullifies the effect of what you’re doing and thus amounts to nothing (i.e. work done equals zero).Most human beings are unaware of the power of their thoughts they don’t take into cognisance the effect that the state of their hearts has upon the circumstances that surround them. As a result of this they look to their actions to make everything happen. We agree that action is an important component in the physical world, but it is not through action that you create your physical experience.When you need to perform a task you ought to know that your actions ought to be used to enjoy the experience you want to derive from it and not vice-versa. For starters you must create the thought and the feeling of the joy derived within that experience. Once these two ingredients are fulfilled you have launched the creation of that particular task. Thus, working towards its manifestation in the future ensures that from its joyful creation in your heart that you will be inspired to take the right actions and these actions will be in joy. Actions taken in the present that have not been taken in joy are true to the letter, but such a series of actions will never have a happy ending. All the days of the afflicted are evil: but he that has a merry heart hath a continual feast. (Proverbs 15:15). For any fixed goal/target that you want to hit you must find joy in its achievement.Pressure and demand are the price paid by performers and as a result those that achieve results have them as constant companions initially this is not a pleasant experience but one that people must learn to handle rightly. In order to discover joy in our hearts over various tasks we must first of all pray. Is any among you afflicted? Let him pray. Is any merry? Let him sing psalms. (James 5:13)The key to joy in the midst of the situation is ‘the light of the eyes’ (the light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart) (Prov 15:30) this light is what God commanded at the beginning of His task of creation when there was only darkness and the earth was without form and void. The entrance of thy words giveth light it giveth understanding unto the simple (Ps 119:130) with this understanding the individual now knows the steps he should take. The end product is expansion and increase on every side i.e. when you walk, your steps shall not be hampered (your path will be clear and open) and when you run, you will not stumble. (Prov 4:12).
