The Song Of The Sheep


The Lord Jesus Christ is my Shepherd 
Because He feeds, guides and shields me.
 I belong to His pen,
those are the only ones He feeds, guide and shields.
Before He can become your Shepherd, you must belong to His sheep pen!
To belong to this pen, you must belong to His family:
having His divine seed inside of you.
I am not a bastard but a son, belonging to the commonwealth of God.
He makes me lie down in green pastures.
Not willingly
But when I respond I realize that I had been truly weary and need the rest.
My Shepherd makes and creates situations 
Where He makes me lie down in safety,
Leading me beside still calm and restful waters.
He refreshes and restores me.
I didn’t know but now I know that a refreshing or a restoring occurs 
When I return after wandering away.
He refreshes and restores me.
He is truly the God of second chances!
He leads I follow in the paths of righteousness for His name sake.
It means it is not the things I say or do that makes me righteous.
How wonderful!
But when I allow Him to lead me and I follow completely,
 He imputes righteousness in me.
Therefore,
I am confident 
That if I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I cannot be afraid because He is with me.
He is real, death is only a shadow.
I do not fear death because I know who my Redeemer is,
And He LIVES!
His rod and staff are always with me to comfort and correct me 
Whenever the need arises.
My Shepherd prepares a table before me 
Even when I am surrounded by my enemies 
To prove to them that He loves me.
My head He anoints daily with His word so I would not fail to have His word 
At the right time when the need arises.
My cup and my lot He blesses.
Indeed His goodness and faithfulness will continually pursue me.
I am determined like the three Hebrew boys to live and remain in His pen
All the days of my life.
He is my shepherd, is He yours too?
There is no Shepherd in all the universe like Him, 
That lays His life for the sheep. 
Will you not make Him yours today, not just in words, but in action and truth?!

The Quarry Site Experience

Have you ever visited a quarry site and considered the process the rocks are subjected to before they become dressed stones to be used? If the stones could talk they will have a story to tell about their experiences.  As children of God we go through diverse experiences and we wonder if we will indeed survive them. Sometimes we wonder why our gracious and compassionate Father would allow such to befall us considering who we are in Him and what we are doing in His vineyard.  The Scripture that should readily come to our minds in such circumstances is God’s assurance when He said: “I will be with you when you pass through the waters, and when you pass through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you. You will not be scorched when you walk through the fire and the flame will not burn you ” (Isaiah 43:2). This Scripture assures us that through the experiences of flames and waters, God is always by our side to see us through.  Thus, it is necessary for us to go through the...

Are You A True Disciple? Part 1

       This decade opened with very dire straits for mankind, as many people around the world woke up to a world that stood still as each nation shut their borders, homes and institutions shutting their doors. If many had been told this scenario could happen a couple of decades ago, one would say it was crazily impossible. But it did happen! Many lives and livelihoods were destroyed, and many institutions and lifestyles, including the Church, were affected. As terrible as the times were and still are, it is exposing the hearts and state of many 'sons of God'!         Many wondered aloud, 'What does the devil want for causing all this havoc?' And some went further to ask, 'What does God want?' The answer to both questions is 'Man' (male and female)! It is a battle between the Kingdom of God and darkness for the soul of man. As a result, man is being prepared both by God and the devil for eternity with either!         ...

It Is Time To Raise A Cry For Nigeria!

  "The voice said, “Cry out!” And he said, “What shall I cry?” “All flesh is grass, And all its loveliness is like the flower of the field. The grass withers, the flower fades, Because the breath of the Lord blows upon it; Surely the people are grass. The grass withers, the flower fades, But the word of our God stands forever” (Isaiah 40:6-8).         Listening to a brother detailing how Nigeria will be great again because it was foretold decades ago, I quieted down in my spirit to listen to him. According to him, the prophecies of old say that Nigeria will become a beacon of God's light to the rest of the world as they carry His Word to the rest of the world, especially in Africa. He enumerated the many qualities of Nigeria, especially the spiritual significance of her position within the continent of Africa. She will be used by God to trigger the last move of revival in the last days, he continued.         I listened attentively,...
