By Michael Henry & Justin Robinett's version of the Christmas Classic, The First Noel.


1: The first Noel the angel did say
Was to certain poor shepards in fields as they lay:
In fields where they lay a keeping their sheep
On a cold winter's night that was so deep.
Noel Noel Noel Noel
Born is the King of Israel.

2: They looked up and saw a star
Shining in the east beyond them far:
And to the earth it gave great light
And so it continued both day and night.
Noel Noel Noel Noel
Born is the King of Israel.

3: And by the light of that same star
Three wise men came from the country far;
To seek for a King was their intent,
And to follow the star wherever it went.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the King of Israel.

4: This star drew nigh to the north-west;
O'er Bethlehem it took it's rest,
And there it did both stop and stay,
Right over the place where Jesus lay.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the King of Israel.

5: Then entered in those wise men three,
Fell reverently upon their knee,
And offered there in his presence
Their gold and myrrh and frankincense.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the kind of Israel.

6: Then let us all with one accord
Sing praises to our heavenly Lord,
That hath made heaven and earth of nought,
And with his blood mankind has bought.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the King of Israel.

Hope You Spent Time With God Today?

Just thinking:  Have you spent time with God today? It's important that if we are going to have His heart, we MUST be intentional about pulling away daily. If you haven't, get off Instagram, Facebook, BB, Twitter etc and go find a place to study, pray & just worship Him

 

 

 

It's not that you don't have time, it's just that you lack the desire. Whatever we give our attention to… We will desire. So turn off the TV & technology & sit at His feet. Church attendance doesn't replace 1:1 time with our King and Lord Jesus. He's jealous for you. Hope Priority-Check.

Countdown To Christmas, 5 Days Left…..(O Holy Night)

Its 5 days left to Christmas so let listen/watch to some Christmas Classic song that will bring us to the right mood, Title O Holy Night. 
 See the Video & Lyrics below Enjoy! Enjoy!! Enjoy!!!.

By Michael Henry & Justin Robinett's version of the Christmas Classic, O Holy Night.

 

1: O holy night! The stars are brightly shining,
It is the night of the our Saviour's birth.
Long lay the world in sin and error pining.
'Til He appeared and the Spirit felt its worth.
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.

CH: Fall on your knees! O hears the angel voices!
O night divine, O night when Christ was born;

2: Truly He taught us to love one another,
His law is love and His gospel is peace.
Chains he shall break, for the slave is our brother.
And in His name all oppression shall cease.
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,
Let all within us praise His holy name.

CH: Fall on your knees! O hears the angel voices!O night divine, O night when Christ was born

CH: Fall on your knees! O hear the angels' voices!
O night divine, O night when Christ was born
O night divine, O night when Christ was born

STOP HATING, START LOVING !!!

Nice story with a good moral, just read it.

A School teacher decided to let her class play a game.
The teacher told each child in the class to bring along a plastic bag containing a few potatoes.
Each potato will be given a name of a person that the child hates.
So the number of potatoes that a child will put in his/her plastic bag will depend on the number of people he/she hates.
So when the day came, each child brought some potatoes with the name of the people he/she hated. Some had 2 potatoes; some 3 while some up to 5 potatoes.

The teacher then told the children to carry with them the potatoes in the plastic bag wherever they go (even to the toilet) for 1 week.
Days after days passed by, and the children started to complain due to the unpleasant smell let out by the rotten potatoes. Besides, those having 5 potatoes also had to carry heavier bags.

After 1 week, the children were relieved because the game had finally ended…
The teacher asked: “How did you feel while carrying the potatoes with you for 1 week?”

The children let out their frustrations and started complaining of the trouble that they had to go through having to carry the heavy and smelly potatoes wherever they go.
Then the teacher told them the hidden meaning behind the game. The teacher said: “This is exactly the situation when you carry your hatred for somebody inside your heart. The stench of hatred will contaminate your heart and you will carry it with you wherever you go. If you cannot tolerate the smell of rotten potatoes for just 1 week, can you imagine what is it like to have the stench of hatred in your heart for your lifetime???”

Moral of the story:
Throw away any hatred for anyone from your heart so that you will not carry sins for a lifetime.
Forgiving others is the best attitude to take! Love Everyone & Be Loved.

PLEASE READ THIS FULLY, IT’S WORTH READING.........

A doctor entered the hospital in hurry after being called in for an urgent surgery. He answered the call asap, changed his clothes & went directly to the surgery block. He found the boy’s father pacing in the hall waiting for the doctor. On seeing him, the dad yelled:
“Why did you take all this time to come? Don’t you know that my son’s life is in danger? Don’t you have any sense of responsibility?”

The doctor smiled & said:
“I am sorry, I wasn’t in the hospital & I came as fast as I could after receiving the call…… And now, I wish you’d calm down so that I can do my work”

“Calm down?! What if your son was in this room right now, would you calm down? If your own son dies now what will you do??” said the father angrily

The doctor smiled again & replied: “I will say what Job said in the Holy Book “From dust we came & to dust we return, blessed be the name of God”. Doctors cannot prolong lives. Go & intercede for your son, we will do our best by God’s grace”

“Giving advises when we’re not concerned is so easy” Murmured the father.

The surgery took some hours after which the doctor went out happy, “Thank goodness! Your son is saved!” And without waiting for the father’s reply he carried on his way running. “If you have any question, asks the nurse!!”

“Why is he so arrogant? He couldn’t wait some minutes so that I ask about my son’s state” Commented the father when seeing the nurse minutes after the doctor left.

The nurse answered, tears coming down her face: “His son died yesterday in a road accident, he was in the burial when we called him for your son’s surgery. And now that he saved your son’s life, he left running to finish his son’s burial.”

Moral-Never judge anyone….. Because you never know how their life is & what they’re going through”

 

I Look To You Video And Lyrics By Whitney Houston

This is one of my favorite song sang by Whitney Houston(RIP) and written by R.Kelly. See below the Video and Lyrics ENJOY !!!

 1: As I lay me down
Heaven hear me now
I'm lost without a cause
After giving it my all

Winter storms have come
And darkened my sun
After all that I've been through
Who on earth can I turn to?

Ch:I look to you
I look to you
After all my strength is gone
In you I can be strong

I look to you
I look to you
And when melodies are gone
In you I hear a song, I look to you

2: About to lose my breath
There's no more fighting left
Sinking to rise no more
Searching for that open door

And every road that I've taken
Led to my regret
And I don't know if I'm gonna make it
Nothing to do but lift my head

CH: I look to you
I look to you
And when all my strength is gone
In you I can be strong

 I look to you
I look to you
And when melodies are gone
In you I hear a song, I look to you

BRIGE: My levee's have broken, my walls have come
Crumbling down on me
The rain is falling, defeat is calling
I need you to set me free

Take me far away from the battle
I need you, shine on me

CH: I look to you        
I look to you
After all my strength has gone
In you I can be strong

I look to you
I look to you
And when melodies are gone
In you I hear a song, I look to you

I look to you
I look to you.

 

 

The Financial Power

Does financial power change the order of things in the home?

We were at our House Fellowship yesterday when a young girl asked a question I was asked to answer. “With roles changing in the home, if a woman earns more than a man, does that make her the head?” 

The fact that a woman earns more than her husband does not make her the head. It is true that money answers all things. However, there is order in God's kingdom. If a woman earns more than the husband, there is a need for understanding to balance things out at home. It takes a very understanding man to allow his wife to work long hours while he keeps an eye on the children and the home. It is the responsibility of the woman to still accord the man due respect and make sure she does not usurp authority because of her financial power. A woman needs to understand that without the support of the man at home, she cannot progress without sacrificing some important aspects of life. There is nothing we have, that we have not received from God.

However, the fact that a man does not bring in huge amount of money does not reduce his place as the head. If you work shorter hours than your wife in a day, besides keeping an eye on your children, you can improve yourself by adding a skill or two. You can take courses through correspondence or if you are in an environment where you can acquire a skill, do not shy away from it. This keeps you out of trouble that idleness can cause and adds value to your person. 

The fact that your wife earns more than you does not mean you should make her life miserable by expecting her to come back from work and still do house chores, cook (God help you if you have to really wait for that) and other strenuous things only to prove you are "the man". Idling around, becoming the CEO of discussions and comments on Facebook or other social media does not make you respected.

The concept of team work makes things work seamlessly when both parties are willing to hold their own end of the bargain. The home belongs to both the man and woman, it takes joint effort to make things work. Financial power does not give the woman headship at home, neither does it take the God-given power away from a man because of how much he earns. 

2 Timothy 2:19

"Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: “The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.”"

Let us not follow the world. I welcome your insights. By Omo Ishow.
