Psa 147:10 His delight is not in the strength of the horse,nor his pleasure in the legs of a man,11 but the Lord takes pleasure in those who fear him,in those who hope in his steadfast love.
Let this be a prayer, that my trust and strength be in the Lord.

27 Dec 2007
The year 2007 will soon be over. The Lord has watched over me.
I believe 2008 will be a year of transition. I pray for this coming and I will claim His promise that this family will all soar with you. Lead us to a higher ground.
Indeed, as Rachael pray for this family, I will like to echo them too.
I pray especially for Rachael, that as you have shown her your faithfulness, in guiding her through her studies and now landing her in a position of tutoring in a local university. Contiune, to bless her in her local communities and bless her work, so that your glory may shine upon her and that people around her ma know that you are her God.
Josef needs alot of guidance and discipline. I pray that as parent you help us and even as both of us so desire to have th best for Josef, I pray that God, you will be the one that will encourage him, that he will have the ability for quick understanding of his school works and a willing spirit to attain knowledge. On top, let Josef, have a strong desire to have you, to read and to get close to you. Let me, be his guide and show him the way to a closer relationship with you.
But of course, how can I lead when I have not been there. Therefore, let me have the spiritual discipline myself, a desire to read your words, pray and worship.
Lord, I pray that you bless my work in forex. Let me have the wisdom and the knowledge in this trade. Let it be and let the profits be able to form a good stable montly income for this family. Bless the time, bless the material gain, and let them be use for your kingdom. I pray against greed, against pride and against a desire for power, status and recognition. Let me be humble and know that it is you who have bless my hands.
Psa 146: 3 Put not your trust in princes,in a son of man, in whom there is no salvation.4 When his breath departs, he returns to the earth;on that very day his plans perish.
5 Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob,whose hope is in the Lord his God,
Lastly, I pray for my father, that you will break and yolk him, that his stubbornness be no more and that he can know you as his Lord and saviour. Let him be more willing to spend time socialize with others. Amen

Psa 142:1
With my voice I cry out to the Lord;with my voice I plead for mercy to the Lord.
Many of us depend on strength that is our own. Rarely do we need God.
This verse, to me is not a verse of weakness, but of a dependence on God. The ackmowledgement of Him shows a relationship we have with Him and a desire to have Him in our lifes.
My weakness is made string in Him. In the secular world, responsibility comes with more stress. But with God as my CEO, He will be the one that directs. I take the order and relinish the control, the responsibility and the stress.
As I watch "Warlords", I too realise that I am not made for corporate laddar. My intention to leave is also to remove the stress and the people politics. Therefore, my Lord, I cry out to you and I plead to you. Lead me and take me, so that I will go and be directed in paths you have intended for me.

Zephaniah 1-3
The boos, which refer to the punishment God mentioned and intended in Zephaniah, are full of them. I picked up the wows.
Zep 2:3 Seek the Lord, all you humble of the land,who do his just commands; seek righteousness; seek humility;perhaps you may be hiddenon the day of the anger of the Lord.
This verse stood what after a long list of intended punishments. It gives a breather, a small if that should the people seek Him, then prehaps. Our drought may be long, but the Lord has not forgotten us and the main reasons is that we are too caught up with our own strength fighting against the misfortune and foget to seek God.
2:7 7 The seacoast shall become the possessionof the remnant of the house of Judah,on which they shall graze,and in the houses of Ashkelonthey shall lie down at evening.For the Lord their God will be mindful of them and restore their fortunes.
This verse talked about remnant and that God will be mindful. God do not forget, He will also remember His promise. In our caught up with life, we foget God and go towards our own ways. It is not that God has forgotten the good promise He has for us, but we choose to get them in our own effort. Come back to God. Remnants refered to those that God has specially chosen, so that no matter what, He will use them to fufil the promise He has for mankind. Be that remnant and like the song goes, God searches to and fro looking for those who will interceeds ..
Lastly chpater 3:14-20 is about joy and restoration to Israel. So it is not all so dull and curses, but the long lasting intention for God is still about restoration with Him.
My promise from God, which I want to claim today is from Psalm 138:7-8
7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble,you preserve my life;you stretch out your hand against the wrath of my enemies,and your right hand delivers me.8 The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me;your steadfast love, O Lord, endures forever.Do not forsake the work of your hands.
Even as I prepare my move, I need to stick close with God. Continue, Lord, as I pray and seek, that I will enjoy my time reading your word and seeking you.

Habakkuk agains like the previous books, go on and on about the rage that God was going to inflict on the people.
The stubborn nature of men, for so many generations and for so many prophets cautioned the poeple.
But for me who read them, day after days, on the same subject, frankly became immune with the nagging. The event happen long time ago, it does not affect my people, yes, be faithful to God and yes so that His rage and His punishment will not be melt out. I know, I know.
Revelation, again talked about punishment, Psalm taked about remembering the time in Zion when the poeple was in Babylon. The same thing!
I prayer, and yes even though we know, we still act in rebellion. That is why the reminder. Repentence is therefore about the heart. The fear of punishment wont last that long. The desire to go back to our own self and comfort zone is such a powerful grip.
Let me be reminded, that my time and my stay on earth is finite. It is not with sacrifice that God needs, it is not the works. But an obedient heart and a steadfast love for God. The distraction of the world is simple too much and they catch our attention than the importance of being with God. I pray that as I discipline myself to seek God through His word each day, I pray that I will be able to seek Him. Let my heart be in tune with Him and be able to hear from Him.

Psa 128
Blessed is everyone who fears the Lord, who walks in his ways.
What is fear and what is walk? These are two actions, conditioned for the belssings of God.
When John in Revelation 1:17 saw the Lord, he fell at his feet as though dead. Is that fear? To me yes, that fear make you afraid and when you are afraid, you will think twice doing the things ought not to do. God has given us a list of commands, from His words, and the work of the Holy Spirit, who is in us, to prompt us what to do and what not to do. The problem with a lot of us, is that we don't fear the God. He is a friend to us, a loving and forgiving Father. Be afraid and be very fearful, God hate sins and there is no way we can come through the Father. Do the right things. Walk correctly.
Walks in his ways, provide the solution. It showed us the ways we should walk. Yes though we have Jesus, the answer, the bridge to the Father. Jesus showed us the ways.
Therefore, it is fear and our walk. Remember, the rightoeus man has the blessings from God.

1 John 2:
15 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride in possessions—is not from the Father but is from the world. 17 And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever.
Everyone needs to work and that translates to food and a shelter over our head.
But materials things get more, we need a car for transport, computer games, communications, travel, hobbies, power and status.
Surprising, these things cannot last. Food gets rotten, car get rusty, power and status pass off as you age. BUT money, which orginal use to facilitate transaction get physical. Now you feel them in notes and in coins and in numbers that appear in your bank account. As if money cannot last, now they are like commodities, and create a desire to have them.
Money, however are meant to facilitate materials needs and fuilfiment of dreams for the higher intent of our own personal achievement or that of a Godly purposes. Having money is OK, but if money is horde to statisfy a desire - a desire for the flesh (good to feel them, a desire for the eyes, - good to have the numbers in our account and a desire in prides - I have them. These all fall short and 1 John 2 says - If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
I have to caution myself. I pray, even as I am reminded and reminded again about having them - not for a Godly intent, but fall into a desire to have them for the pleasures of the flesh, the eyes and pride.
Let me not be so rich that I forget you and let me not be poor that I do worng things against your name.
