'Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid. Go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see me.” '
Matthew 28:10 NIV
2019 – Southwark Peckham an outside museum
Do not be afraid
The words that consoles my heart
The words that are sweet to my ears
The words that makes the racing heart slow down
But I tell you not to resist an evil person
But whoever slaps you on the right cheek
Turn the other to him also
Do not be afraid
It is amazing the upside down Kingdom of God
As things get back to normal
Life become busy
And the good works
The building of the foundation
Questions start to happen
Do I stop, just because!
So in the wisdom of the Lord
I reflect on the journey
This week, back to normal
What is back to normal?
I have no idea, but I do know this is normal
People voted yesterday in UK
Yes I voted, I have always done the anti-social
Postal vote all the way
At the comfort of my own house
Disappoints happening and the news
And the blames, of the what if
I tell you, do not be afraid
The most amazing thing happened
And I want to rejoice and scream and shout
Glory to God in the highest through
Christ Jesus I ran this week
Yes I am an active member of the society
I love the outdoors so a little story
See I stopped running ages ago
I just walk and I was freed from this
What does that mean?
Let us start
See last week, on my usually walk around
The park, this was on Thursday I broke into a run
I don’t know how to express it
Or what made me do it
but it felt so good that I must have done
More than three laps round the field
See I am processing girl and
still getting to grips with this
Just a backup story
I use to run early mornings
As an early bird, we talking before six
and one day this guy was following me
I didn’t know at the time
I don't know how to explain it, but
In my spirit I felt like I had to stop
Turn off the headphones and listen
So I did, and all my sense were heighten up
My heart was racing,
And all I could say is I will never run again
Help me God, I will never run this early again
If nothing happens, I was making all this promises
so I started to slow down and got ready
For what was to come, so
I turned just in time to see this strange man
Out of place and the surprise was gone
He stopped in his tracked
I looked straight at him
Could not see his face, under his hood
But my God is so good, so with him standing
The element of surprise is gone
He was frozen, and
I turned around and
I ran as fast as my legs could carry me home
All the while looking over shoulder to make sure
He didn’t follow me,
But he couldn’t do anything
And I saw him turned back the other way
And that was the end of my running
The enemy taught he has me cornered
The Lord is my Shepherd
I shall not want
He is my comforter and healer
And I stopped running it is more than five years now
Could you believe it, I had forgotten all about it
We do not fight against flesh and blood
The weapon of our warfare is not canal
My God will supply all my needs
He will protect me
So I broke into a run and I was free
Flying like a bird, the sun on face
And a smile giving thanks to the Lord
I am still smiling for I am free
It is crazy but I love the way our Lord
Heals everyone in a different way
And a different time, all I have to do is
Go to Him and He will give me rest
This all started because
I made up my mind to read this book
By Kris Vallotton - Spirit Wars
I bought this book more than a year ago
and never opened it
I tell you this, because later on
I got this same book in kindle for free
What does that tell me?
Read it young lady but I did not
Don’t know why but I am glad I opened it
The first day I opened it was on the First of May
Not knowing that it opens the door to walk
In with the Lord, to take out all the buried things
This week has been a healing week
Every week is a healing week and
to do what God wants me to do
Looking at the lies that I have come to believe
Just getting into the scripture
We do not fight against flesh and blood
Do not be afraid
God is so amazing
I tell you the Lord our God is awesome
When He is ready, when we obey
It just happens and so I have started to run
Doing five laps, it is small park 800m
It feels so good, to start small
I am so looking forward to doing it once a week
My mind is made up
My heart is bursting with JOY
Now I can tell you I had forgotten all about this:
The feel of the winds on your face
The cool breeze
The breath building up
The faster you run
The hearts beats ever so fast
And as you slow down
The heart slows
The mind stops
The legs moves with reach step
Yes I do love the outdoors
And I have come to realize that we forget
But God never forgets
He loves us so much, from day one
His promise was to free us and
We have been freed
Christ the Lover of our soul
The Bridegroom that sees the flaws
And chose us, and said YES I want
YOU, come with Me
And all we have to do is say AMEN
And walk with Him
I get to imagine the garden
Running in it and free
I love the garden
That is just amazing to me
The LORD of hosts
He is the King of glory
To You, O Lord I lift my soul
O my God I trust You
And I will not be afraid
Thank you for stopping by
God bless you in your journey
Secure yourself to the amazing Father
and the Lord of our Saviour Jesus Christ
Walk in His promises for Your life
Write them down
Say them out loud to yourself or anyone who will listen
Glorify His name especially in the bad weathers
His promises are trustworthy all the time
May you see this month in its fullness
May you walk in the path that the Lord has set for you
May you shine with the light inside of you
All this in Christ Jesus’ name. Amen
Freetown, Sierra Leone
Sometimes my mind wonder
I look around me and see the houses
I go for a walk and see the trees
I love trees, although I do have tree allergy
My allergy is early of spring and somehow
It gets better in the season
By the middle of spring I feel better
Well glory to the Father for the beautiful sight of the tree
A tree alone is looked over
A tree with its branches and flowers is adore
A tree full of life attracts others to itself
A tree only provides shades when it is covered with leaves
Jesus was handed over to be crucified for the forgiveness of our sins
and was raised back to life to prove that he had made us right with God!
Romans 4:25 TPT
The wonders of God
Are you are not glad that His ways
Are not our ways
I am very glad, sometimes I don’t like it
So this week, it just been looking at wonders of the Lord
The testimonies of all
The growth of people
I love learning and so this week is learning week
Came to understand what Paul meant
In the Bible, the Book of Romans
Sometimes you want to do good
I know that I should do it
I have no doubt this is the right thing
My mind tells, the Holy Spirit nuge me
Scriptures come to my mind
Do I do it, NO
But I don’t understand why I do not do it
Yes, it is a nod, a shake in the head
I did it again, I sit in silence and sigh
Why? Yeh I guess I look at my Lord
I don’t understand, help me God
Not trying to justify
But something in me just would not let me
For I do what I hate and practice it
The flesh is weak and governed by the laws
The flesh is ruled by the laws
For the Lord our God died so that Grace abounds within me
Grace triumph over the laws
For He came not to abolish it
But to accomplish
So sometimes it happens
To teach us
To correct us,
To depend on Him
For His Grace is all we need
For I am dead to sin
And alive to God
For Christ said it is finish, the death
that He died, He died to sin once and for all
But the life that He lives, He lives to God
What a wonderful news
So I glorify the Name above all names
Wonders are what you do
Wonders are what I see daily
Wonders is seeing the sunrise in the morning
Feeling the breeze as I walk in the day
Wonders is seeing sunset in the evening
And the chill of the breeze in my bones
Wonders never stop in all things
Wonders is seeing a baby grow up
Wonders is knowing that I am the apple of Your eye
Wonders is knowing I am blessed
So I conclude this madness
The flesh is the flesh and will be the flesh
So I will not set my mind on the things of the flesh
For it is weak, that I have come to understand
Madness I tell, it is not easy and that is the fun of it
The Life with our Lord is challenging
I will not lean on my own understanding
I will set my eyes on You Lord
For in You I have received the Spirit of adoption
And I will cry out loud Abba Father
For I am joint heir with You Lord
In all the madness why run away from it
If indeed we suffer with You Lord
That we may also be glorified together
I Love the sound of that
I thank God through Christ Jesus our Lord
'A psalm of David. Adonai , who may dwell in Your tent? Who may live on Your holy mountain? The one who walks with integrity, who does what is right, and speaks truth in his heart, '
Psalms 15:1-2 TLV
Good Morning or afternoon or evening. You are welcomed doesn’t matter the time.
Hope and pray you had a good Easter, the celebration of Christ Jesus, He is RISEN! Now that is good news. I learned something about the Easter egg to look at it from a different point, eggs represent a new life and so does Easter for all. It is not in the Bible but sure like the idea of new life, new hope and knowing that this is not it but life doesn’t end on earth, wow what a glorious day that will be. Praise be to the Father, Jesus Chirst and the Holy Spirit for walking with us in this journey.
Come with me, yes if this your first time then you should know. Life is a story and you can make it fun or miserable. The choice is yours.
Come let us sit in the vault of treasure today.
Thank you for stopping by, please note that this is information only. So I reflect on the way we process food and the different ways they are made. So today I look at Fermentation:
What is Fermentation?
Fermentation is used everywhere in the world, throughout history, it is simply the form of food preservation that does not require any heat or artificial energy source.
With no oxygen, microbes (or microorganism is a microscopic organism which may exist in a single-celled form or a colony cells) can convert sugars into acids, alcohol and gas
Why do we ferment foods?
Fermentation in food processing – converting carbohydrates to alcohol or organic acids using microorganisms – yeasts or bacteria under anaerobic conditions
Fermentation microbes are often the same as the ones found in the gut, so eating fermented food can be a way to top up the gut flora.
Fermentation are not only used to preserve foods but Ferment foods are used because they serve:
To enrich the diet through development of a diversity of flavours, aromas and textures in food substrates
To preserve substantial amounts of food through lattice acid, alcohol, acetic acid and alkaline fermentations
To enrich food substrates with protein, essential amino acids and vitamins
To eliminate anti nutrients
To reduce cooking time and the associated use of fuel
Some of foods that are Fermented:
Different methods of fermentation are used in breadmaking, alcoholic drinks and vinegar production, making yogurts and cheeses; pickling fruits and vegetables, curing meats; making soy and fish sauces; softening olives and removing bitterness and the production of chocolate from cocoa beans
Fermented milk:
Milk has a very short shelf-life but when fermented can last for months. This range from yogurt fermented for a few hours to large cheeses prepared over many months.
Fermented soya
Soya beans have high levels of protein and oil which is extracted as a kind of milk. Fermented soya also produce diverse outcome similar to milk such as miso paste used in soups and seasoning to tempeh which is a cultural soya bean cake
Fermented cucumber
Cucumbers are turned into pickles using lattice acid bacteria and brine with five to eight percent salt concentrated
'Your eyes will see the king in his beauty and view a land that stretches afar. '
Isaiah 33:17NIV
Southwark park entrance it smells so nice and also you get to see the beauty of the flowers and trees
Oh come let us sing
and make a joyful sound to the Lord
It has been cold this week
What a week? I am not so sure
Are we in spring or winter
For as I opened the blinds to let the sun in
To my surprise it was snowing
In April not rain but snow
So I had time to reflect
Look at the detail of Christ
Few words kept coming across my eyes
Why do you seek? He asked His parents
Man shall not live by bread alone
But by every word of God
The temptation of the world
Cannot be overcome alone
For it is in Christ that we are set free
For though I walk through the valley
Or thrown into the fire I am never alone
Launch out into the deep and let down
Your nets for a catch
So I walk into the deep
A deep end that requires LOVE
Not a feeling for it did pass
For when I had no feeling
I knew what love really was
Love is an action that is incredibly patient
Love does not reason in it heart
But believes the best in people
It goes out of it way to give without expecting a return
So I listen to the music
And I dance to it as it snows outside
And then I braved it outside
Why? I like to walk
With winter coats and hats on for the sun was out but cold
Even with the cold under the sunlight I feel the warmth
It made me smile and forget the troubles
As I cast all my cares and troubles to Him
And as I remember the season of resurrection
Who do you say I am?
The Christ of God
Then pick up your cross and follow me
No looking back
Follow me
Do not be afraid to follow me
For I will show You who to fear
Fear God, who has the power to cast your
Soul into hell, Yes do fear Him!
In reverent fear
Therefore let Your words be few
Better not to vow than to vow and not pay
For the Lord is faithful
His grace abounds in each of us
He is slow to anger and abandoning in Love
Yes I did decide to buy a foam roller
Then I wonder why this late because they are incredible
Getting a massage, wow so I feel all the aches and pains
In a good way, see I get pleased very easily
Little things make my eyes smile
Oh come let us sing
Praise to the Lord!
My adventurous walks and finding out that Bermondsey has a beach in the lockdown, shocking!
Lord when I am cold, You put my feet in socks
You watch closely all my paths
You set a limits for the soles of my feet
Who can ever replace You?
There is no one in the earth that compares to You
You prevail forever
As the trees leaves falls in its season
And the rock is moved from its place
As water wears away stones
So will our Hope if not on You
So our Lord and Savior I trust in You
I lay my hand over my mouth
And listen to You Father
Speak Lord for Your servant is listening
I have heard of You and I now see You
Through the Grace of Our Lord Jesus Christ
Who saved all
As gift from You
Don't burn out; keep yourself fuelled and aflame. Be alert servants of the Master, Cheerfully expectant. Don't quit in hard times; pray all the harder. Help needy Christians; be inventive in hospitality. Romans 12:12 MSG
I have missed the plays, the theatre, the live shows: In the UK, in the past years on Good Friday a play is shown in Trafalgar Square about the resurrection of Christ. People come together and watch the show. 2019 the last show, who new!
For He moved into the neighbourhood and they accepted His gifts and hospitality and then we see they crucified Him, betrayed Him, Sold Him and yet still He loved them and us. Now we get to see His glory and let Him move into our neighbourhood.
Good Friday – 2019 Trafalgar Square
Good Friday: The day the Lord has made
This week I call the pursuit and reflection
For the word became flesh and made His home among us
That is wonderful as we gaze upon His glory
The glory of the One and Only
Who came from the Father
Overflowing with tender mercy and truth
The Son, let all the angels worship Him
Let everything that has breath Praise the Lord
Your throne, O God is forever and ever
As You sit at the throne
All enemies are now Your footstool
What is man that You are mindful of him
Or the son of man that You take care of him?
I will declare Your Name to my brothers and sisters
Online or offline I will sing Your praises
And again I will put my trust in You
For You came and free all against the power of death
Our lives was born of the flesh and slavery
When You rose from death
You too the key
And freed us all from the fear of death
And became the Priest forever
According to the order of Melchizedek
For You are Holy, Blameless, Pure
Set apart from sinners,
Exalted above the Heavens
You have been made perfect forever
I adore You, For He is risen
And my life has never been the same
Keep alert and pray that you'll be spared
from this time of testing.
For the spirit is eager enough,
but your humanity is feeble
Mark 14:38 TPT
Taking a break from the Unknown and taking a seat in the garden and watching the Lord Jesus Christ.
The Garden: I Love the Garden this garden shows me that it is not easy but the will of God will overcome any obstacle I face. I need to stand strong and know that the Lord overcame it all and all things are possible with God. His will is my will. As I reflect on the day that our Lord and Savior was in the garden. Imagine it, watch and pray. See Him in the garden, be in the garden and give glory to the Father.
Woman, Jesus replied, believe me,
a time is coming when you will worship
the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem
John 4:21
Panoramic view: Lindos village on Rhodes, Greece
Truly our God is good
He provides, it starts with Jesus and ends with Him
To those who are pure in heart
And the middle is the pursuit of our Lord
And His will over our lives
But as for me, my feet almost stumbled
My steps had nearly slipped
For I was envious of the boastful
When I saw the prosperity of the wicked
So I sit and reflect on the glory and reason
For the word became flesh and dwell among us
So I might have eternal life
They speak of the earthly treasures
They set their mouth against the Heavens
Pride serves as their necklace
So I turned my eyes back to You
And as I focus, I come to release that
It is a daily process,
It is a journey, the journey that never ends
The more I pursue You, the more my passion grow
To serve You with every facet of my life
You hold my right hand
You guide me with Your counsel
You take me into Your glory
Whom have I in heaven but You?
And earth has nothing I desire besides You
Challenges do come
My flesh and my heart may fail
But God is the strength of my heart
Setbacks I have come to know
They are a set up for the next chapter in my journey
A long journey that will require Your Love
It is indeed a marathon, so I will get thirsty
Those who stay far from You will perish
For the things of the world, the water in the world,
will only make you thirst for more
But as for me, it is good to be near God
I have made the Sovereign Lord
The Holy one, The High Priest my refuge
I will tell of His deeds
I will sing the Lord's praise
For He has been good to me
If only I could do things out of covenant
Life will be easy
Who wants a predictable life?
Well sometimes I do, but I also want variety
The uncertainty gets my blood pumping
My heart racing
And I stop
In the stillness nothing moves
Then I see, my eyes are open
To all the varieties and possibilities
And like that my world is shaken
