Be my Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6)

 

For a child is born to us,

A son is given to us.

The government will rest on his shoulders.

And he will be called:

Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,

Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Isaiah 9:6

Christmas Prayer

When I am on my knees,

Be my Prince of Peace,

Ward off the enemy!

 

When I tremble with fear,

Be my Prince of Peace!

For no one can be just as strong

And mighty as you,

 

You have been all along…

And forever you are true…

You are my…Prince of Peace!

 

Insight on this Poem:

I wrote this poem out of  Christmas blues.  Overall, I know that Jesus is my Prince of Peace when there is no peace within or without.  Furthermore, he is the One who stands out in this world as the emblem or the mark of Peace.  Where else can you honestly find that peace?  No where!

Especially now, in this time of dismay and unrest everywhere, we all need an anchor, he is.  Moreover, we all need a Rock to stand upon, he is.  Indeed, he is everything we have hoped for in God.  As well, he meets our every need, even when the essentials are no longer there, he is the essential  .  Whether you be on an island by yourself, he is there.  And even, in the bottom of the ocean still alive, he is also there.  Presently, you can embrace him, you can even hug him spiritually.  Additionally, he is alive and there for you!  Therefore, if you have an illness, he can heal you.  If you are hungry, he will feed you!  Seek him wholeheartedly!  He is your Friend!

The Fruit of the Spirit...Patience?

  As I was being tested, patience was required, and I was waiting with much complaining.   Then my wife encouraged me to read the Fruit of the Spirit out of the Amplified version of the Bible.   So, I did and here it is: “But the fruit of the Spirit [the result of His presence within us] is love [unselfish concern for others],   joy [inner] peace , patience [not the ability to wait, but how we act while waiting],   kindness, goodness,   faithfulness,   gentleness,   self-control.   Against such things there is no law.” (Galatians 5:22-23) These verses not only apply to us as we go through our daily life but especially as we wait for the Lord’s return.   How we act while we wait for him does matter and it is very important.   We learn as we go through trials.   For a lot of people, the word “patience” is not welcome in their vocabulary, and I can tell by my own life I am not the only one who finds it difficult to act well while we wait.   We can all wait as this

Is It a Blue Christmas?

  Just to Let everyone know that I usually post on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays .  I will try to keep posting during Christmas as well on those days.   Is It a Blue Christmas? For those people who are fortunate to not grieve right now please bear with us.  My mother passed away last May.  I am living now in her house with my wife.  If my wife was not with me, I would find this very difficult.  Being in this house is so emotional and everything reminds me of what it used to be when I was with my parents.  Sunday morning the pastor preached on one of the attributes of the son that was to be born to Mary and Joseph about 700 years after the prophecy in the book of Isaiah 9:6. This one name that Jesus bears is “Wonderful Counsellor” which means that he is too wonderful for words. It was explained that a counsellor is only effective when people come to him for counselling.   Have you gone to a counsellor?   Has it helped you?   God is a wonderful counsellor, and I was encour

The Holy Spirit: My Guarantee

  Holy Spirit is a Guarantee   Being a Christian is not based on emotions or on an opinion, but it must be based on assurance of the Comforter in me . The Holy Spirit is the seal of guarantee of the Eternal life God has promised to every Christian. We know we are a Christian not by our feelings but by the presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives.   The Spirit is the guarantee [the first installment, the pledge, a foretaste] of our inheritance until the redemption of god’s own [purchased] possession [His believers], to the praise of His glory. (Ephesians 1:14 Amplified )    It is a personal reason   For this very reason we ought to praise him. It is a personal reason for our well-being as Christian. We are going to make it because of the Holy Spirit being active in our lives.   We must allow him to be involved in our daily lives intimately, not holding on to any of our self-ambitions. By then we are dead anyway in Christ but alive unto God by his Holy Spirit.   Getting to know hi
