A supper with the King

He was with the Father when He laid the foundation of the world and created man in His own image,  set him apart, and loved him so. The Son that was with Father from the beginning of time is now with man , 

Now as the morning stars and sons of God all sang together, in one glorious cry, the Lion of the Tribe of Judah has come to dinner, now sitting among men.

Who's saw this day coming?

Nowhere was this ever be written, nowhere has it ever been imagined where a God will sit together with His creatures and break bread together.  Not even the wise men of the east and the prophets wad such a mystery ever been revealed.

I am appalled and as I looked on in amazement I saw that the ones that had sinned are now a covered in white garments that glimmer like snowflakes , who would have thought them to be holy? Not even Gabriel.

Who knows the mind of the Lord? Can anyone counsel Him or advice Him on what is right or wrong?  See how merciful our God is.

Though I understand and see His mighty Hand in judgment.  For centuries, He has given us laws to pass down to humankind.

Nevertheless, they rebelled and have broken His Commandments they have broken his laws and did abominable things.

Yet I have never seen such grace like these.

They worship Him not as the lawgiver and judgments like us but through His grace and mercy.

This I cannot comprehend such mystery is too far-fetched for me .
All I can now do is worship,  for He alone worthy to be praised.

The Messenger

Blow the shofar !
Let us sing and dance with the tambourine , the cymbals, the harps,  let all the host of Heaven sing.

Let it all out and be not silent!  No longer can we speak so softly, for the mystery of Heaven has been revealed to these little ones on the earth. Let us sing praises to our King. The Lord of lords is His name. 

In the company of angels , the voice of many sings Alleluia!

How is it that we stood and proclaimed the message saying that the time has come when the King will come?
The Great King who is come and to reclaim His kingdom on the earth.

And while the children of men, slept and ate bread and with their bellies filled with all sorts of things, yet and as before the scales still remained in the eyes in their eyes?

The time has come to proclaim the message of the ages. But how without a preacher?

Look I see a man walking to and fro the Earth seemingly restless but found no hope or a comfort in the midst of his companions.

He goes home and drowns his sorrow with a bottle of wine and all to wake up for another strong drink.

I see a woman weeping on the inside yet laughing and chatting as if she has found love in the arms of a stranger.

A man walks across the town and with records of broken hearts, he plunges into the depths of the black sea, because he had lost all hope of restoration.

Moreover as the tears in their eyes increases,  they soon drifted farther away from reality, farther from God.

Indeed there is some way to reach out to them, to embrace them and show them the path to Salvation.

To bring them to the Fountain to drink the Water of Life so that they will thirst no more.

Surely there's is a way to open their hardened hearts to the One who stands outside and knocks continuously.

A way to realize that the Kings of kings and Lord of lords is calling out sinners, those poor in spirit to His Name.

Although we shout and sing and praise the Most High ceremoniously, how can we reach them except through a messenger? But who are they? Where are they? What are they doing down there?

The Hand That Rocks the Cradle

Draw me nearer my Lord, I am falling away, I have known You and have seen Your goodness. I still believe but now am suffocating.

I am drowning in tears, looking up for answers, surely your are powerful and just. The speed of light can't compare Your swift hand. No one can fathom the size of your heart, for you delight in mercy and arbor the wicked.

I saw the wicked rise in power, with his horns, he scoffed and trample the weak, he is like an iron, walks with his nose pointed at the heavens, despisers of good and a lover of evil but in his heart he has no rest.

Outside the gates I see no mercy, the banks of the river is filled with blood and tears. Though in my heart I know that you are nearer and hear the cries of your children.

But Lord why do you move so slowly? Surely I need wisdom and knowledge to see your works and stand encouraged, for your hand is even more apparent in the valley of death.

But sovereign Lord, why am I in so much distress? I see the seasons of my good days closing in on me. I can't see your hand in my life.

But though my mind decieve me, let my heart testify of your goodness. Let the one who disagrees come with hard evidence, let the preacher man preach as one with the oracle of God, let the deciever by silent and eat dust.

God is in the midst of His people, He will never let the righteous be moved. His hand will rest upon them and in His own time, He will give them rest.

Wild seeds

Meditation : Matthew 13: 24-25

See how the flower grows,  all with colorful layouts,  the flowers arrayed with beautiful stripes, blossoming beneath the sunlight, as they spread their leaves uniformly across each patterns,  it doesn't help to notice the aroma of love that serenades the atmosphere.  What shall they say when they seed this garden?
Will they look upon it with a sentimental glance? Will they look for romance? A place to hide away from daily burdens? Moreover,  the dew of Heaven only seems to flourished it , creating such a masterpiece. While the Gardener at times prunes it, fertilize it and at times the shrubs are burned up, while the old  leaves  are removed the newer leaves continously buds; creating a pleasant glance.
Surely the sunlight,  the air and the dew are far from our control. But what about the soil? Shouldn't we plant as many wild seeds around it to starve out its roots? Let those flowers have the sun, the rain and the air, but the soil where all these elements land, fill it with wild seeds.

The doctrine of damnation

Sell the goods, and let us buy some of the fresh meat.  Though pretentious a little, he is our fairest chap.

Now we have paid some hefty amount before but not as much as this one,  a hefty price for the fairest chap!

Come my traders now go to work and sell the lies on the real truth.

March, the fairest one, going down to the Palace fitted for  kings. 

In the moment of comfort with no realization of what may occur, let him see only what we want him to see,  Only beautiful field  of flowers and snowy mountains in pleasant valleys,  lots of exotic animals and plants.

Buried beneath we have several shrubby plants, thorn and nettles, canker worm growing within.

Although from the physical standpoint it looked promising yet plague and death awaits,  the doctrine of damnation.

A Voice like a Sound of Many Waters.

I heard a voice like the sound of many waters calling me out from the world.

Like a Shepherd's voice calling for his sheep, a voice that shakes the mountain but warms the soul.

A voice like a bridegroom calling out his bride, A voice like the waves of the sea rushing into the banks.

Like a speed of lighting appearing beneath the clouds. And as the voice thundered, it draws me nearer out from the world

A voice like a sound of that of an Archangel, a mighty voice with all its meaning, that denotes the Alpha and the Omega.

A voice like the sound of my Beloved who went out to gather the lilies at the field and at the garden of love, he had poured out frankincense and spices, saffron and calamus,  at the chamber of love. 

My beloved, the One who has made rooms and parlors in the great  house of Zion, and built walls and great fortress to keep the thieves at bay.

Come my bride, says the voice of my Beloved, come. 

I for one knew the voice, no time to hesitate for my Beloved has come. He had prepared a place for my stay at the Abba's House. No time to ponder, but I must leave now.

Here comes my Beloved with a testimony and a company of the host of Heaven , calling me out of the dark, calling me home at last.

Broken Chains

Oh, that lovely fountain! Flows from the veins of the Son of Man, the blood that atones my sins.

A man born in sin and death even from generations to generations, from the first to the last, such was no innocence found in man, but in Adam all men died.

A sign given that a virgin will be with child,  from the beginning a Lamb was slain before the foundation of the world.

His death will be a ransom for many and  that he will release the chains and the bondage of sin from the captives.

Though there was no sin found in him, yet he went  to the slaughter house, he bled and died, buried and was risen.

His blood now flows to the uttermost to save the chieftest of sinners.

Emmanuel, God is with us.

I will send my king the begotten son, disrobe of royalty but filled with power and  governance.

My Son in his life will he be known and by his death he will be exalted.

Emmanuel, God is with us.
Behold a Star out of Jacob, the One that is to be king.

Though, on the earth, there was no life, the breathless souls, all passing away.

Then something just interrupts the Earth, in space and time, a phenomenon came into a virgin's womb. 

The Virgin who shall bring forth a child and shall call his name Emmanuel, God is with us; thus fullfiling the promise.

For since the time of the old, man has found no peace. And since I find no king in the children of men, now, he will be a King, whose kingdom will forever stand.

While his feet will passes through Judah, and in the depth beneath and height above, so it will be for all his brethren: since  he is the firstborn to all creations.

See him coming to dwell with man,
A star of Jacob coming down into the Earth, though he was God but now a man in flesh and blood, a time of liberty.

Let us come and witness what has taken place, though we are shepherds, yet we have seen his face  an overwhelming Grace beyond our eyes.
Emmanuel,  God is with us.

Above the landscape: the light

Does anyone look beyond the landscape?

Luxury and good fortune our eyes have surrounded. By the sight of it ,
All in glitter and in abundant.

A bed of lust , where all the nobles come and feast and filled their bellies.

Singing and dancing I heard from the horizon, gouging for today with no regard for tomorrow. Marrying and giving away in marriage; this they do all day long.

For I wondered where the end meets? If when the music ever stops, what happens next? What lies beneath the surface?

I have seen a city, loved by many with glossy festivities by the day, nevertheless in the night, death was its name.

Sodom cries out from the grave! His children are gone. Repent all you simple ones! Learn from me you wicked degenerates!

Drink not the cup of abomination,  for it will give you the buzz in the morning and eat up your intestines in the evening.

I also heard of a man who once was my neighbor, he built tents among the Plains. He stood alone and walked in light.  Given thanks to His God.Though he was a stranger.

In the landscape, there lies his tent far from the rotten city . For he longed for a City whose builder was God.

Once a Fallen Man

The cross, the place my Messiah laid bare, a place he shed his blood for my sins.

I know not the pain he endured, though he bore the sins that I was suppose to bare.  Such sacrifice is too great for me to fathom.

My mind still not able to comprehend such love,  when I stood on solid ground, he fell.  When I drank and ate, he thirst.

When he was scourged I was made whole,  when he was in distress, I felt at peace. 

He took my poverty and clothed me with his richness. Soothed in all pain, when he paid the penalty for all my sins.

Lord,  what a fallen man,  yet you came save me and such a fortune I do not deserve.

Stand up on your feet and shake the dust off. From today I will put a new song in you.

Put on a garment  of righteousness for you have been redeemed.

For a new birth is being given and the old creature has being renewed.

Now forget the old and looked towards the new.

Eat from the king's table, delicacies made with love. For today you shall live and live evermore.

For you are now a joint heir with Christ and those who will inherit the kingdom of God.
