CULMINATION:
               TWILIGHT

Luke 22:42

“Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done.” An angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him. And being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground.
--------------------------------------------
       Did Jesus sweat blood or was it that his sweat dropped like blood from a skin? The above verse tells that it was like....like like blood. 
Anyways let's continue to search;
 In the blueish expanse, they sat on the slope counting time. The Messiah was counting pains. Knowing he should die is something else, but knowing how he would die drives great natural fears. Knowing what is exactly your death becomes another pain to deal with before the real occasion. He wasn't certain about the decision by heaven. Him to suffer... 'really'....he pondered. He shed so much sweat as agony refracted the beams from the future. 

But regardless of the pain, the future stood still.
There are times we may be dismayed by the imagination of our mind. We think of a whole world that would go wrong if we took the step forward to higher levels. The wandering of the mind and seeing so much failure makes us doubtful. And when we face a reality of sacrifice for a better future, we tend to be gripped with fears.
Fears blur the dream that is deep in the heart. Even though Jesus had come for a purpose he knew he should accomplish, fear blurred the dream assigned to him. The good news is that even when dreams seem blurred, the future that God has assigned to you will stand.

In a moment, Peter was detained on verandas of fear. After the guards and temple serpents had arrested Jesus, Peter couldn't help but deny his relationship. He thought he wouldn't stand the fact that would come along when he is held innate with Jesus. But what if Peter missed a bit that would culminate him to other levels? 
There are decisions that we swiftly make out of fear. And yet they make us miss out on a power that would drive us higher.

Christ still held onto the road to victory regardless of fears. Peter still repented and returned to the road to victory regardless of fears. Regardless of fears, never let go the road to victory.

THE CREED AT THE THRONE

THE CREED AT THE THRONE   Psalms 40:1  I waited patiently for the Lord; he turned to me and heard my cry. -------------------------------------------- There are of course alot of times we pray for something and we feel we need that fast enough. And if am not mistaken , it is most of the times that we pray. We simply want answers right then. And some demand for the answers right away. But either way, you want God to come to your aid at the time you think He should come. But have you ever wondered why some people pray and receive their answers alittle fast compared to a similar prayer someone else had? Well that happens, you can pray and I pray the same thing yet we receive answers at different times.  With the scripture above, interpreting it may seem easy, but diving into it could seem a bit hard. The psalmist says, he patiently waited, then the Lord came to him and heard Him. The important note here is patiently waited. And secondly we see that the Lord comes...

OMNIPRESENT

OMNIPRESENT Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. -------------------------------------------- One trouble that sets the pace of all other troubles is the fact that we draw in our minds. We may move through this world . We may encounter various situations. We may encounter various people. And of course we may encounter various challenges. What sets the pace for great challenges is thinking you are in singular. When a house is built on a single pole, it makes the house vulnerable to winds and rains. But the house that is built on various poles and support gives its inhabitants confidence of being safe from any form of disturbances. Even in those days, when they used send us for oil at a near by shop in the night, we had very strong fears. Of course you had to request for a torch for a company that you imagine will protect you.... though it lightens the dark black. Even with the light, you still feel afraid. But when we were sent in a group, there is...

SIGNS IN THE KINGDOM

SIGNS IN THE KINGDOM   Galatians 5:22  But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. -------------------------------------------- When a man came to ask Jesus where they could find the kingdom of God, Jesus replied to Him,"the kingdom of God is in you." Well, what kingdom thrives in human bodies.? There is away that may seem narrow but it is a path to the greatness of God. The things that the kingdom of God entails on are ,but a light luggage. Even within scripture, Christ said that those who are heavy weighed should come to Him and he will give them rest. That let them take His yoke , for His is lighter and good to bear. It would be obvious for him to help by taking our burden and never giving us any. But we make a trade with Him. He takes ours and we take His. His yoke is light. His yoke is the kingdom your are supposed to carry. You are supposed t...
