THE RHYTHMIC DANCE WITH GOD


Every culture in circular history and even biblical history has a form of different kinds of dance. These dance are usually done when a particular  sound is produced using different kinds of musical instruments ranging form using  some parts of the body such as the clapping of hands or stamping of the feet on the ground or some very sophisticated instruments that require skills and power. Dance is an integral part of every culture and it signifies several things. There is a dance for battle and a dance for morning a lost one.   There is also dance for celebration which is the reason for several dancing. 
Dance is usually associated with moving the different parts of the body in rhythm to a particular music. These are usually done with much excitement and ecstasy. It is usually a sign of celebration for a particular good thing. It can be a promotion, child birth, harvest, marriage, birthday celebration and several other blessing that we receive in life. In the Bible, God commanded the people to sing and make music unto him for who He is and what He has done to his people.     
 Every dance is associated with celebration and happiness. There is usually no moment of gloom and worry when people are dancing to a melodious music. Most of the times everybody temporary forgets about there problems because of how engrossed they are by the music. The celebration and happiness can be carried about for a life time if you dance a special kind of dance with God. This kind of things does not involve shouting and screaming to music played with any kind of musical instrument but by listening to the voice of God and acting prompting as we would do to a melodious music.
God speak to us in several ways.   It can a be the still small voice like Elijah in the wilderness, it can be through the audible loud voice like to Moses  or the whisper of the Holy Spirit to our hearts. It might be through His Word to us in the Holy Bible or through the Mouth of His servant. The means of communication those not in any way matter but is hearkening to this instruction and prompt obedience to it is what matters.  To continue to enjoy a life of ecstasy, excitement and fulfilment we need to constantly dance to the rhythm of the voice of God in every moment of our lives.

A Prosperous Soul

            When God created man, he was triune being with the spirit, soul and body. The spirit was the greatest, the soul, and then the body. At this time man operated through revelation; no wonder he named all the animals of the earth and waters without difficulty because he was carrying nature of God.
The original plan God had for was to live as spirit, containing a soul and dwelling a in a body. Man was to dominate the beast of the earth, the bird of the air and every that creeps upon the surface of the earth. Genesis 1:26
 Man was indeed a super being created in the image and likeness of God. He lived in continuous fellowship with God.
            When he accepted the deceit of the serpent through the woman by eating the fruit of the tree of knowledge good and evil; he became corrupted and turned to a victim of information rather then revelation. He then became a lower being and could not fellowship with God anymore because there was a change in the order and constitution of man. The soul became the head, then the spirit and the body. The soul which is supposed to receive information from the body to the spirit becomes the master of man. He is now controlled by the soul the center of will, emotion and desire.
            As a result of the change, he became dead as the Bible said in genesis 2:27. He became twisted and tossed by the environment, the things he is suppose to control have become his master in that the control him. He now lives in perpetual fear and at the master of the environment. Whatever he sees, touches, smells and taste become the truth to man. He takes the truth for fact and the fact for truth.  He became spiritually blind because he no longer operates in discernment but sense.
            Consequently he is befallen by a lot of diseases, worries, fears, poverty, and every other thing that the society presents to him. He became the servant of his circumstances and every other thing surrounding him.
But thanks be to God that Jesus Christ the only son of God who is able to restore man to his nature of being a spirit, with a soul and dwelling in the body has come. The mission of Jesus Christ earth is to bring man to this fellowship with God and nature as image and likeness of God.
            When we accept Jesus as our personal Lord and Savior; we are instantly born again; there is a restoration of our soul to it rightful position. II Corinthians 5:17
We are re-created to the original form in the genuine plan of God for man. We no longer are victims of information but revelation by the spirit of God. That is why we have power over sin and the devil.
            As a consequence of the restoration, our souls become prosperous and are manifested in our bodies. We now have power over sin, the devil, sickness and disease. God has downloaded his nature us and we are the most powerful beings in the universe second only to the God-head. Oh ye prosperous souls go and dominate whatever has ever overtaken and dominated you. Every prosperous soul shouts hallelujah.

Make the Right Choice

Man is the most powerful being in the universe after the God-head. He is the only creature that is given the gift of will. Even the angels in heaven do not have the freedom to choose the way man has. Angels are ministering spirits that serve the saints that are still on earth. Man, the most respected being by God amongs his creatures is given the will to choose either to do evil or good as he wishes. Man is not only given the freedom to choose but also analyze and predict the consequences of his choices.
As a result of this endowment man is the most intelligent creature among the creatures of God. This is because God pour out part of his being (essence) into man at creation by breathing the breath of life into the dust he molded. Because of this special endowment, man makes choices every moment and everyday of his life on earth. These choices in turn brings about tremendous result such as innovation of the good things of this life ranging from simple things like a hoe to as complex things like robot and also weapons of mass destruction, drugs and all forms of evil.
     The extent to which you can go–the impact you can make–depends on the moment by moment and day by day choices that you make in your stay on this earth. Man is made in such a way that several thoughts pass through his mind. It could just be a thought as simple as going to read a book or as complex as deciding how to make a gigantic machine like a ship.
Every action taken by man is a product of a thought. Thought give birth to action, action give birth to behavior, behavior give birth to habit and habit give birth to character.  The collection of the characters of a man defines who the man is. The mind is the most vital part of a human being whose location is not precise. Some people say the mind is located in the head that is the brain while others that is located in the heart. The location of the mind is trivial but its significance to who a man is cannot be over emphasized.
Man in his nature after the fall is corrupted and selfish. He wants a lot of enjoyment with no or little effort. The mind knows that a particular thing in important and can lead to one’s progress but the body naturally resist anything that will stress it except some extra effort is applied by insisting and engaging the mind until the body agrees to do it.
The definition of who a man is lies in the ability to control his mind by making the right choices daily and executing these choices every moment and everyday consistently and diligently. The height to which such a person can soar can only be limited by the limit of the height itself.

You Have Now Excuse

Every man that is born to this world is born for a purpose. There is a latent ability and capacity that is peculiar to that person. This is evident in the uniqueness of every human being both is composition and ability. If you can look in among your siblings you will find out that every one of you in the house have something good about them. The difference in composition is proven scientifically that no two individual have the same thumb print.
God in His master plan for every one of us is to do this God given assignment which people call a calling. God provides every one of us with the necessary ability and capability to do this thing perfectly. He carefully select the best family on earth to bring you into who will care for you and up bring  you such as to fulfill that purpose. God selects the best clan, tribe, state and nation into which you will be born all in line with his purpose for your life. Act 17:26
The fact that you are probable born to a poor home, poor clan, poor tribe, poor state or a poor nation is not a limitation at all but it is because your God given destiny has to be in this particular place. It is not the background that matters but the foreground. Look up. What do you see? I hope something glorious right! There is a virtue in your which can only be produced by the seemly hard experiences you have been through or are going through. If your destiny has to be in Nigeria your will become irrelevant in a place such as The State. It has to be here.
Sometimes, I think I would have done better if I went to a better secondary school or came from a better home where everything I need will be provided. But who knows whether this abundance would have been a deformation in by character. May be I would have been one of these guys that party or drink around. Do it where you are with the limited time and resources for you might not be able to do it where your think is the best.
Get out of your lurking-hiding place- abd begin to make some thing happen!!!

Push Your Way Through

Push Your Way Through
“Persistence is the consistent insistence to, possess or do something” Myles Munroe. Since the day of John the Baptist the kingdom of God suffers violence it is only the violent that will take it by force. We live in a world where nothing comes easy however big or small it is. History of whatever kind from wherever has record of people that have made impact in their generation. If you follow closely you will find out that these people broke through seemly hard barriers through the force of persistence.
     Every successful person must have broken through some barriers peculiar to him. It can start with the struggle to make the right decision; should I start it? Can I rightly do it? What will people say if I fail? It can extend to people around you who know you quite well, who you are, where you came from and what you can do. They tend to limit you to what they’ve always known you to be. You’ve got to see the hidden giant in you which no body else can see. Have you tried any thing but fail? It is an opportunity to prepare and try more powerful not as a novice–first timer–but as someone who has experience. Experience they said is the best teacher who gives the test before the lesson. It is too early to give up. Just learn the lesson and give it a try. 
    Success smell at people that don’t give up too soon. The inventor Thomas Edison performed his experiment of making the light bulb nine thousand, nine hundred and ninety nine times without getting it until the ten thousandth time. The great Mother Theresa insisted for permission from the pope to embark on her seeming foolish mission of taking care of the poor and less privileged. She was then a nun and teacher in a seminary was accused of having an affair with the pope. She push her way through regardless of the obstacles until was released for the mission which was really a breaking down of the  tenet of the Catholics. She later won the Noble Peace Prize for this same course. The gentile woman in Mathew 15:22-28 insisted that Jesus should heal her sick child though healing was meant for the Jews. When you persist on something protocol will be broken to meet your demand. Have you got a dream or a vision? Does it seem unachievable? I enjoy you to persist on your dream or vision until you push your way through.
    Persistence is a character that every young man or woman that is looking forward to becoming something in this generation must possess. Things are becoming hard like never before, the economy, the  spiritual and our fellow humans beings fight tirelessly to stop any person looking up to the top, they tend to push you down. You must resolve to persist unto you push your way through. Persist; pursue it until you get it. See you at the top and in the sit of celebration by your generation.

Crowd Mentality

Crowd mentality
A crowd is large number of people gathered in a public place such as a street or at a game. Mentality is particular attitude or way of thinking of person or group. Crowd mentality is the way of thinking of a crowd.
 I have not seen a crowd being celebrated for great achievements rather the crowd celebrates a person. People are relevant and have left lasting impact in their world are people who refuse to follow the mentality of the crowd. They do their things in a way that are a little different from what everybody else does. These people live by principles that they cannot break no matter the consequence of these principles. They are never moved by what people say about them. This difference is what set them apart for greatness.
In history over time, all reasonable and great inventions were done by individual for example electricity by Michael Faraday, light bulb by Thomas Edison, automobile by Henry Ford, computer by Charles Babbage except aero plane that was discovered by the Wright brothers. A close look at the life of such people reveals a particular pattern of thinking, activities, choices, values and priority different from all other people.
The crowd is always lead by a single person however large it is. Have you thought of leading people? Then work on yourself to be different from people then you can lead them. Crowd mentality simply means thinking such as everybody is doing it, who has ever done it. How sure I am that I can do it, what people will say if I fail.
            The crowd is a place of follower ship and dependence, except you take a step out of the crowd you will remain a mediocre. Learn how to beat your own drum, sing your own song and dance your own dance. There is a better place out of the crowd.  
             In the animal kingdom, the lion, the king of animals is always alone and works with the mentality of a winner. It does not mingle with other animals least it becomes part of the crowd. The eagle, the greatest of all birds flies alone which depict greatness, authority and single mindedness.
In the Bible most people that receive their miracles from Jesus Christ took a step out of the crowd. The blind bathemaus and the woman with the issue of the blood and others took a step out of the crowd to receive their miracles.
Like the blind Bathemaus, the crowd will always shout at you telling you suggestions that expose your limitation and every possibility   of not making it. But you have got to give a deaf ear, march on and write your name on the sand of time. You are welcome to the league of history makers.
