Reflections of My Heart....Legacy

This is the song in my heart at the moment. I have dreams and visions I want to accomplish, but I consider them all nothing. My deepest desire is to be used by God and fulfill His purpose for my life. That's the legacy I want to leave......it's all about Jesus Christ! He is Love! <3

I don't mind if you've got something nice to say about me 

And I enjoy an accolade like the rest 

You could take my picture and hang it in a gallery 

Of all who's who and so-n-so's that used to be the best 

At such'n'such ... it wouldn't matter much

I won't lie, it feels alright to see your name in lights 

We all need an 'Atta boy' or 'Atta girl' 

But in the end I'd like to hang my hat on more besides 

The temporary trappings of this world

I want to leave a legacy 

How will they remember me? 

Did I choose to love? Did I point to You enough 

To make a mark on things? 

I want to leave an offering 

A child of mercy and grace who

blessed your name unapologetically 

And leave that kind of legacy

I don't have to look too far or too long awhile 

To make a lengthly list of all that I enjoy 

It's an accumulating trinket and a treasure pile 

Where moth and rust, thieves and such will soon enough destroy

Not well traveled, not well read, not well-to-do or well bred 

Just want to hear instead, "Well Done" good and faithful one...

Thanksgiving 2012

Today is November 25, 2012 and I am rounding up my Thanksgiving break and preparing to get back into the "student mode" for classes tomorrow. As I sit here writing this, I reflect on this break and come to the realization that in everything, no matter the state I find myself in, I should be content and thankful. For this Thanksgiving break, I didn't go back home to spend it with my family because of work obligations. I did however, spend it with some awesome people I regard as family. So what I am thankful for?

1. I am thankful for Salvation through Jesus Christ. Everyday I see more and more of His grace and how unworthy I am of His mercy and love. Yet despite all my shortcomings, this God still loves me. I am so undeserving and as a result I cannot but worship God all the days of my life. He alone deserves my praise!
2. I'm thankful for my family. I know most people say this but I love my family, I cannot imagine my life without my four brothers and my parents. In my 22 years of living, they've been there through everything always supporting, always providing a safe place for me. I thank God for them and for allowing me to spend more time with them.
3. I'm thankful for true friends. I've come across some of the most amazing people walking the face of the earth and I feel so honored that God has given me the chance to interact with them. They are a second family and a source of many good laughter.
4. I am thankful for my education. Here I am thinking about graduating in May with my Bachelor of Science degree and planning to start pharmacy school in August  to get my Doctor of Pharmacy degree. It's only God's grace if you knew my past and how I even got to where I am today. 
5. I am thankful to God also for myself. I know this is a weird one, but I thank God for working on me like He has been doing. This year especially, I feel God moving in me so much. I am daily being changed by His power to reflect Him more. I am being challenged beyond what I could have imagine yet His grace is sufficient in seeing me through. I love how He is molding me and I only pray that I can by His grace, continue to be a vessel in His hand for use. 

I have more to be thankful but this will take a lifetime to list. I just appreciate God for this life He has given me. For everything He has done, for everything He is doing, and for everything He is going to be doing, I am grateful. But most importantly, I bless the name of the Lord for who HE IS. Just for being God, i am so thankful! There's no God like our God. I pray you all had a lovely thanksgiving. By God's grace, we will never run out of things to be thankful for. I love you all! Stay bless!

Sound Doctrine

I went home to Houston this weekend so I was able to attend church with my family. I have to admit, my heart was overwhelmed with gratitude to God when I saw my family. Not only were they in good health, but they are holding fast the SOUND DOCTRINE of Jesus Christ. It has been placed in my spirit lately about how the world has shifted away from that which is Godly and nearer to the very things that break the heart of God. The Scripture that has found its way into my mouth lately has been

"For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear"-2 Timothy 4:3 

In addition Isaiah 5:20 talks of people who call good evil, and evil good and that verse says WOE UNTO THEM. The Lord has instructed us to study to show ourselves approve unto Him, a workmen that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of truth!  (2 Timothy 2:15) Therefore, if you are attending a church that does not preach the Bible, or preaches the Bible in parts (deciding which part to teach and which part to ignore) then your soul is in trouble. It is time to find another place of worship. If you have friends who are not godly, it's time to separate yourself from amongst them. Basically, remove yourself from anything and everything that does not stand on the Holiness and Righteousness of Christ. We are in this world, but not of this world! Be therefore different! Today when I attended the service, the Sunday school was studying the book of Revelations and my heart leaped for  joy! This is what all pastors should be preaching at this age! We are in the last days and this period of God's grace is almost over! Immediately following this period is judgement. The Lord is pouring out His Spirit and calling all that will hear to REPENT for the time is short. Do you hear Him? If so what are you doing about it? God's words will come to pass with or without your acknowledgment, whether you believe it or not. The safest place to be at this age, is under the Shadow of the Almighty.

I beg you brothers and sisters. If you read this, please search your heart and make sure that you are right with God. The warnings are here! Let us now surround ourselves with true believers of Christ! Remove and separate yourself from darkness! The Word of God tells us that "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:"-John 10:27. If you are of the flock of God, hear His voice now. Come out of the world, and be surrounded with Sound Doctrine. Many will come and have come to dilute the Word of God and weaken the children of God. Therefore arm yourself with the TRUTH and that TRUTH IS JESUS CHRIST! THE SAME YESTERDAY, TODAY, AND FOREVER!

Relationship 101: There's a Season For Everything

I write this as a reminder to myself and as an encouragement to anyone who might come across this. When it comes to relationships, we shouldn't be in a hurry to enter one. I know that is easier said then done, but if we are truly living with the sole purpose of honoring God with our lives, then we should be able to give this area of our life  over to God's Will. Though it may be the season of rejoicing or should I say, romancing for "everyone", we shouldn't then be sadden when we think of our own case. I put the word "everyone" in quotes because we tend to over exaggerate everything! As far as we are concern, everyone and everything including the dogs and cats, have someone to love but us! (laugh out loud) when in reality, that's not the way it is. We should learn to trust the timing of God and rest on the assurance that He is never late. In the book of Ecclesiastics 3:1, the Word of God says

"To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven"

That means that there's no event that has slipped pass the knowledge of God but rather God has ordained all things to come to pass in its own time. I am choosing to believe God and using this period to honor Him and thank Him for the man He is preparing. I know that the longer the wait, the more things God is perfecting in him and about him to make him a suitable partner. And the same goes for me. When that season comes, I believe that person I will be then, whom God shall present to him, shall be the perfect mate for him and him for me: bone of his bones and flesh of his flesh. So I rejoice with those experiencing their seasons now knowing that while I thank God for what He  has done and is doing for others, my own season shall come. I wait expectantly for that day. 

I believe this is what he is saying <3

How to Make Nigerian Meat Pie

I made meat pies a while back and these are the steps I used! Enjoy and let me know if you tried it!

Ingredients: Ground beef, Flour, Carrots, Potatoes, White onions, Butter, Baking powder, maggi cube, salt  (personal seasonings)

Chop onions, carrots and potatoes into little cubes

add oil to pot and add ground beef, onions and salt. 

Cook until beef is done

add carrots and potatoes

Then Add maggi, and personal seasonings . Allow to cook for 10 minutes or until carrots and potatoes are soft.

in a cup, add 1/2 cup of water and 2 teaspoons of flour. Stir the flour in the cup and then add the mixture to the pot. Cook for 5 minutes and your dressing will be done. Set it aside

Add butter to the flour. Add enough until the flour slowly changes color. Add 2 spoons of baking powder, a pinch of salt. Be careful not to add too much salt if your butter is already salted.

Add water to the flour slowly and mix until the dough is thoroughly mixed and soft

roll out the dough and use a cutter to make small circles. I used the top of my pot to make the circles

Add a little of the already prepared dressing

In a plate, crack open an egg. Moist the ends of the dough with egg yolk. 

Fold the dough over and seal the ends with a fork. Using the egg yolk, slightly cover the top of the sealed meat pie with the egg yolk.  Think of it as rubbing "lotion" on the meat pie.This will make the meat pie turn goldish-brown in the oven. Repeat these steps until you are out of dough or until you make as many meat pies as you wish

Put in oven for 45 minutes or until the pies are gold in complexion.

Let it cool and enjoy!

2012 Warnings: Seek Christ Now!

The following was written January 5, 2012 on my facebook page and I feel the need to re-surface it! Take Heed!

To start, let me say that I have no power of my and I am totally dependent on Jesus Christ, my Lord and Personal Savior. This has been placed in my heart and my spirit, and I will not be honoring God if I didn't share it. I pray that you read with an open heart and even if you don't believe it, do your own research click on every link, read the articles and compare everything with the Bible. I will just write this as it comes and I pray that God opens your eyes to the truth so that you are aware of the age in which we are in. THE END IS NEAR.

1. 2012

On Sunday January 1, 2012, there was a prophecy at my church, The Apostolic Church House of Prayer Ministries here in Houston, concerning this year. 

• The Lord declared that He is God alone stating that many will rise claiming to be god, claiming to have the power but before He, the Almighty, they are nothing. "For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many."-Matthew 24:5

• The Lord said that deception and confusion has been released into the world. This is the time, many will deny God and turn to the devil. BE CAREFUL so that you are not among those that are deceived. "For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect."-Matthew24:24 
• The Lord declared that HE IS COMING BACK soon; That He once destroyed the world with flood, but this time He will destroy with fire and brimstone. "But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up."-2 Peter 3:10
• The Lord declared that you seek Him NOW! The time has come to hold on the the truth and God like never before. Where do you stand? if you are for Christ, then BE FOR CHRIST 100%. No more being Lukewarm! You are either HOT or COLD! CHOOSE NOW!!  "I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth."- Revelations 3:15-16 
• The Lord said this year will be horrible. There will be tears and sorrows like never before but for those that trust in God and hold on to Him, the Lord promised to watch over His own and spare them from the evils that are coming for they are surely coming! "The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul."-Psalm121:7
• The Lord says to call upon Him at all times. Commit yourself and family into His hands when you go out, while you are out, and when you come in. PRAY AND WATCH! "Pray without ceasing"-1 Thessalonians5:17

These are just a few of the points I remembered and jotted down but the overall message was clear. This is NOT the time to play with your salvation. The end is surely near and the devil is out ready to deceive all he can before his time runs out. Please, if you consider yourself a Christian, make sure you are serving God and not just a Sunday worshipper that thinks by playing religion on Sundays and living your life ruled by the world and things of the world Monday-Saturday night at 3am when the clubs end, you'll make Heaven. The Bible says "Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven."-Matthew7:21  There a sense of URGENCY and if you are true Christian walking in the spirit, you can feel it. Are you prepared?!?

2. News and Laws/ END TIME PROPHECIES UNFOLDING

It will be very foolish of you to not be keeping up with the laws being passed or are about to be passed and the "freedoms" the world will soon be losing. Stop facebooking and tweeting and WAKE UP! Below are some interesting videos to watch. All these things are setting the stage for the New World Order. The End is near! Read your Bible!!

• The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012/ SNATCH AND GRAB

The government taking away your freedom of trial by jury or even just defending yourself in court.

---> Earthquakes video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rq4x08rRmI

• False Prophets   "Mat 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves." 

• Israel will become the center of news soon. Watch for it!

3. Music Industry and Its Satanic Agenda 

Many people will call me crazy, but I don't care. The "music" industry and some things on the radio are all satanic and unconsciously you are participating in occult satanic worship. Before you tear my head off, do your own research on the Illuminati, freemasons, New World Order, One World Government, The truth about 9/11, and the mega stars you know of and their "alter ego". Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Nicki Minaj, Jay Z, Kanye West, Jessy J, Brittany Spears, Lil Wayne.....the list keeps going. Stop claiming to only be listening to the "beats" and LISTEN TO THE WORDS and WATCH THE SYMBOLS! The Devil was the most gifted singer in heaven before his fall, so it only makes sense that he is now deceiving the world through music. PAY ATTENTION!! You are being dumbed down by these music into blind submission into your downfall!!

The world is not as innocent as you want to believe. There is a war going on and it's for your soul. There's a devil and there's a God. Believe what you want but the truth stands. You don't have to believe in gravity, but fall from a 100 story building and you'll know gravity is real. The world and all creation are giving signs of the second coming of Jesus Christ. You don't have to believe it, but it's real. Eternity is a long time. Choose where you will spend it. Again I'm not saying I have all the answers, but I woke up to the truth a long time ago and i'm only choosing to share what I've found. If you have questions, feel free to ask, or share what you know, but I will not debate on this matter. I've done my research and have concluded for myself and I only ask that you do the same and conclude for yourself. The truth is like a lion, it doesn't need to be defended. It can fight for itself. Jesus is the Lion of Judah! 

May God keep us all in this era that we have entered. The End is near....prepare yourself. Repent and cling to Jesus Christ!! He's the only One that can save!

From my heart,

It's For YOUR Own Good

I haven't blogged in such a long time because of all the things that have taken place in the past one month. It felt like and still feels like all that could go wrong went wrong at the same time and the stress of it all was overwhelming. I blog today not to say that the storm has passed or that everything is in its rightful place, but just to express how grateful I am to God for taking me through the most difficult period of this year so far. My faith, trust, and Spirit has been tested with fire and I stand here today as a testament of my victory over the things that has transpired. If you hold on to God's words in the midst of your hardest test, He will see you through.

Without going into too much details, (I'll give my testimony on a later day) I faced difficulties in school work, friendships, had car problems, lack of sleep, work, stress etc. etc. etc. Now that I can see the light at the end of this dark tunnel, I can boldly say that EVERYTHING that happened, was for my own good! God mastermind and planned every situation in my favor. Even the things the enemy wanted to use for my destruction, my God used it for my progression. I won't go into details yet but want to encourage anyone going through a storm in their life. Pray and believe that God is at work. There has to be a test, before a testimony so do not be discouraged. If God is the same yesterday, today and forever, He will see you through as He is seeing me through.
