Pause.....then...play

He woke up and ran the world

He conquered the roads with his arrogance on his newly acquired range rover sport

Rainy as the day was

He gave the pedestrians the wash of their lives

They in-turn gave him the worst of their words

He got to his workplace

And the terror in the eyes of the employees was evident

His arrogance ruled the air

His words were unforgettable

For he did not speak in the common man's language

He hurled, howled, barked at the people

Invisible scars he created

He flashed his blackberry around

He only picked the calls that mattered to him

The affluent, the business partners

Only such were the V.I.P's...very important persons

I like to call them the very insignificant persons as far as life is concerned

Well, to him, money is life!!!

In time, his friends got tired of the devil in him

Even his mother warned him of such pride

But his head was too big for the world

His pocket too sumptuous for the Nairobi ladies

And he ruled the city

Ruled the hearts of women, at least through the sheets only

He despised the 'lowly' and trampled on them

He had the fans, never the friends

This reminded me of the Psalmist's prayer

Who asked God not to make him poor that he may steal from others

Or too rich that he may forget his God

Well, in this life

Give man power and riches

You will know his true colors

Pause and stop

Pause and think

think about your character

Is your neighbor, your university friends or your colleagues your fellow humans

Or are they your pets

Unworthy of respect

Is that woman or lady your rebound or when you call her 'love' you understand the meaning of love

When you text her baby, send her pics

Do you pause and think

When you get your paycheck do you care to give God his dues

the 10% tithe

Or is that the miscellaneous budget allocation??

When you drive your Prado, your Vitz, or you work on your 'feetstubishi"

Do you mind those you pass by??

Do you ever pause and play

When you get that job you've earnestly prayed for

Do you remember He who blessed you??

Do we ever pause??

We are ever on play backs

We need to pause, think then play on our life systems

For whatever we do

It will catch up with us with time

God resists the proud

At times i think we are thinking materially,

The houses, the money, the women, the men, the cars, the recognition

You name it

The end justifies the means

Yet I am speaking the spiritual, the eternal

Character worth His presence

The world offers shadows that we want to catch

Yet when the light is turned on, the shadows vanish

Remember character is much easier kept than recovered

Pause.......

Think......

Then Play.....




This is to all the graduates who are beginning new lives. Learn all you can and be leaders of integrity, be faithful friends, be best fathers and mothers and be exemplary wives and husbands. Don't make stories and headlines in blogs, in the media, or in sermons the wrong way!!!Be your own unforgettable legend despite the evils of this age!!!

He Go Go

I woke up very early with a dance in my heart and the faith of ten thousands of men. Yesterday is gone, today has come. You'd better rejoice in the blessing of today and forget the troubles of yesterday.

Remember the God of Joshua who led the Israelite into victory against the Jebusites, Hittites, Amorites and Perizites and all the -ites...He is the same God today. He will grant you victory over your Jebusites. They may seem victorious but the battle is not yours its the Lord.

Remember the Lord on the cross who said it is finished...well, He meant exactly that. Deafen your ears to the devil who reminds of your weakness and forge on with confidence for you have obtained mercy and found favor.

Remember the God of Esther, who took a mere Jew before King Xerxes...well, your favor will take you before kings. Your anointing will fulfill His purpose.

Remember Joseph,no one will stop your dream. Your dream will be your destiny. They may not see the "dream you", you'll hurt but stand firm. He who began the good work in you will bring it to completion.

The God of Ruth and Naomi. He will link you to people of purpose and connect you in miraculous ways that people will say his God is a God of His word!!!!

Remember the God of Abraham, He will do the extraordinary and He will be faithful to the latter. Stay faithful to Him only.

Remember David. His God looked at his heart and not his outward. He made him king, granted Him success and even when he failed and repented earnestly His God listened.

Remember the God of Elijah, of Zechariah, of Hannah.....Read your Bible to know the power of your King!! Dine with Him over a meal of His word, a cup of prayer and an aroma of worship.

So my dear, this song gave me energy and syke and reminded me that I am much more. He go go butter me bread, sugar me tea, clothe my body, shelter my head and so much more!!! You have the King of kings in you, live like royalty. If the princes and the princess of this world know how to speak like kings, walk like queens.....How much more should we of eternal royalty live??

Swag like a daughter and a son of the Most High. Reign, rule and take over cities. Doesn't the Lord give wealth to His people?? If you are an employee, be an exemplary one. Be a quintessential employer, an ideal intern, a meritorious lover, an admirable parent, a true to form and type kind of friend and a praiseworthy human being!!!

Have a first class royal day my dear!!!

I am humbled, greatly

"Umuntu ngumuntu ngabantu" goes an African saying

This means a person is a person because of other people

I am who I am today because of you my reader

Your devotion pushes me to greater limits

Whoever does not thank for little will not thank for much

I would love to thank you from the bottom of my heart

But then again for such priceless readers,

My heart has no bottom

For You Lord, I can't stop thanking you each day

Because of You, I am.

No duty is more urgent than this to me

My dear reader

thank you very much, gracias, merci beacoup, kongoi kapsaa, nasima sana sana,asante,

cheers, poa poa!!!

Shakespeare taught me well and I will echo his words:

I can no other answer make, but, thanks and thanks

God will hem your blessings for taking time to grace my blog with your presence.

THANK YOU!!!!VERY MUCH

I love each and every one of you.

Empty Rich Vessels!!!

The richness in sermons today

The profoundness of the wisdom in songs

The investment of churches in Bible studies

The concerts, the worship extravaganzas

The overnight keshas, the sleepovers

The mentorship ministries

You name it

We have wisdom in social networks, inform of updates, links and notes

We have blogs,

You can even Google sermons as per your need

Its the technology age!!!

We are always in a field of gold or near one

Yet the scarcity of growth in us, the youth is wanting

I am not talking to high schoolers

I'm referring to people in the age bracket of 20- 26

I'm talking about me and you

The stunted growth in us is wanting

We have eyes, but never see

We have ears, but never listen

We are the pharisees of today

The ones Jesus preached against

Wisdom is knowing what to do with the knowledge acquired" Pastor Julian

The Bible clearly depicts that the fear of the Lord....IS THE BEGINNING OF KNOWLEDGE: Proverbs 1:7

My people perish due to lack of knowledge.

To have knowledge, is to fear God

Not knowledge based on human intellect that is limited

Knowledge from the source, the all-knowing God

To apply such knowledge , demands wisdom

God says: Let Him who lacks wisdom ask God who gives generously to all without finding fault and it will be given to him James !:5

We can have all the sermons, all the blogs like this one, all the updates etc etc

But unless we ask for wisdom such knowledge is useless

We will be like the seeds Jesus spoke of:Matthew 13

We are like the seeds on the path that the birds ate

Or those on rocky ground without much soil..

We spring and we seem promising only to wither due to shallow foundations

Some of us are seeds among thorns

We grow but soon we are choked by the hype of life, the flow of the current

But he who asks God for wisdom and applies such in knowledge as He fears the Lord shall be seed in good soil.

Jesus said that such seed shall produce 100,60 or 30 times what has been sown

Though we see, we do not see

Though we hear, we neither hear nor understand

We are ever hearing, never understanding

Ever seeing, never perceiving

Our hearts are numb to the things of God

let's take a moment and pause

Not in the company of our friends

Just alone in your room

Think about our lives and think about our Creator

If my people called by my Name shall humble themselves.....read that 2Chronicles 7:14

That's all it takes

Humility.....prayer and seek His face

Turn away from our wickedness and He promised to hear us from heaven, to forgive us and heal our land

Unless we drop it, God can't pick it

I like to say God never forces, its a free will relationship

Unless we kneel before the King of Kings in humility

Lay our weights before Him

We listen in vain

All this reading is vanity!!!

Put your struggles before the King

Lay our pride aside

And watch Him beautifully reconstruct our temple

let Him rebuild our walls

Lets be a remnant for Christ in this 21st Century

Drop our baggage at the throne of grace

God will lift you up and make you whole.

Where are the remnants willing to be counted???

Think about this!!

Maybe

Maybe its in my naivety that I don't question much

Maybe its my innocence that's mistaken for ignorance

Maybe its my good intentions taken for a ride

Maybe its the cruelty of your heart that enjoys my 'mistaken identity'

Maybe its the lack of a heart

Or maybe its the business of collecting hearts

Of killing the life in live hearts

Hearts full of life and love

For after all its ego satisfaction

Its the obsession of the mere thrill, the game, the play

He forgets there's more to the game than ego satisfaction

He forgets heart games are not like bubblegum play songs

That we can sing to everyday

Or like 'katii' that we dodge in and out of

Wish it was like 'brikicho' a game of hide and seek

Its the deep hurts, cuts and bruises on the heart

Causing grave cuts that will be great scars

Reminding me that maybe

Just maybe

If I had spoken up

Maybe he wouldn't have cut me loose

He wouldn't have slit my throat

In public domain I stood

With the world cheering and jeering

Strange faces...

No!!!

Familiar eyes

Familiar faces

Familiar fingers

Joining in to suffocate my last bit of life to death

Maybe

Just maybe

Perhaps its a serial kill

I'm not the first to be flushed down this 'toilet'

But I will not watch her...

Or her...or even her

Be flushed too

In the words of number 8:

'the stray darts we throw, break hearts and cause grave hurts, yet we still want an applause for our labor as though it is May 1st!!!'

This pain cannot be hushed

How I pray that ladies hold onto whats strong and true

There's more to the game than ego satisfaction

Hearts are involved

Just maybe men will quite living a day at a time and see that they are repercussions of the stray darts

Women, quit gaming with hearts

In that way...

Maybe someday all this pain will be flushed!!!!




Ps: I am tired of all the numb hearts around simply because of the pain they bear. I'm speaking for both the boy child and the girl-child. When God entrusts a heart to you, take good care of it for it is not you that gives life so why kill the life in another's heart..We lust for the next best ass, the next best highly paid guy....LUST!!!! kill the lust, heal the heart......QUIT IT!!! one day somebody's child will play with your child's heart and crash it...then you'll know...lets be mindful please honorable men and women!!!

Think through the repercussions of your actions!!!

I do....Ooops!!!

We are gathered here in holy matrimony

To witness the union between 'him' and 'her'

do you take her to be your lawful wedded wife,

To love and to cherish,

To guard and to protect

In sickness and in health

In good times and bad times

Till death do you part?

And he responds: Yes I do, Yes I do with boldness and without hesitation

Then comes her turn and the priest rolls out the same script.

Her response like her man's: Yes I do

And you may now kiss the bride!!!

Mr and Mrs Him!!!

Yes they do

They promise to stick to each other faithfully

To love in good times and bad times

To respect each other

To build their home together as one

As long as God gives them the breath to do so

Before God they seal their love

Before men they profess their undying love

For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother

And he shall be united to his wife and the two shall become ONE

Marriage is biblical.....Genesis 2:24

And we celebrate their union and shower them with gifts

End of the wedding chapter

The beginning of the marriage chapter

Wedding is a community engagement but marriage is between two people

And months pass

A year's anniversary is marked

The love is as fresh as dew

The couple is seen together

They are literally one in attendance of events or in their engagement in activities.

The single ladies admire the man and wish they found a man like that

The men congratulate the groom on finding a rare and quality woman

He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favour from the Lord

2 years down the marriage,

Life and family responsibilities dawn on the couple.

Not to forget the corporate ladder gets steeper as responsibilities get bigger

They need a bigger house, a family house

The car model is ancient, status has to be maintained

The wife needs to maintain her youthfulness, the competition from the campus young ladies is steep

Investment need to be acquired

I mean, they are in the rat race full-swing

The pressure depends on what sort of rats they'd love to be

Before you know it

Familiarity breeds contempt

We are to busy to grow in love together

We drive to work in silence, fuming inside

Cursing on God and regretting the I DO!!!

He replaces the quality time at home with bar time

For a nagging wife awaits him in the home

He soon sips a drink that reminds him of his campus life

Re-ignites his past life

His arrogance covers the home

She soon gets tired of talking and caring

The nanny raises her children

She neglect her matrimonial home

Her mind is preoccupied with the corporate ladder

If her brains wont get her the jobs, her boobs will

Her success is acquired through the sheets with her bosses

The home that was blessed before God and man

Hangs on a string

This home becomes another statistic to prove marriages wrong in the 21st century

When we said I DO we made a covenant, not a contract

Love is patient, kind, doesn't envy or boast

Never proud,rude, angered or self seeking

Love always protects,trusts,hopes and perseveres

That is what we need between a man and a woman

Love that endures stresses

Love that endures economic crises

Love that is faithful to keep off that flirt

Love that guards the homes our kids grow in

Love that keeps its eyes on God

A house built on strong foundation will endure

A house on the ROCK who is Jesus will stand the gates of hell

Let us not be part of another statistic

If we must, let's be counted among the most successful marriages of all time

Let unions be a 3cord strand...God, him and her

Involve God in your dating...

Dont let Him in when it too late

Or else...

It will be a case of I DO...OOOPS, I THINK I DID scenario.

Marriages can still stand in the 21st century. Pure and faithful spouses exist. Seek His perfect will and guidance.

God bless

If you must...!!!

Mae West said:"You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough".I call that GOOD WORD!!! Wisdom in its every essence.

If you must live(no choice here coz you are already on earth), then you must live right and accordingly.

If you must love, love with the purity and sincerity of the heart

If you must be a parent, be the best parent there ever be

If you must lead, lead with integrity and honesty

If you must succeed, then engrave your legacy on this earth

If you must do anything,

Put your whole heart in it

We should be either cold or hot

Never lukewarm

Even God advocates that we are either in Him or not

Luke warm people shall be spat out of God's mouth

And if you must do anything wholeheartedly...

May what you do be in His perfect will and law!!

Have a blessed week....for sure it must be for God is full of blessings!!!

Be found on the God side!!

with Love,

Mkosh.

***My thoughts

I know life is tough

I am living in it too you know

Nothing comes easy

There are wars, economic crises, suicidal cases, murder

You name it.

Even the world was allegedly ending

I guess we are not the only ones tired of this life!!!

Recently, I was asking God....."Really!!!!!Must life be this cruel???"

I mean a faithful wife lands on a drunken adulterous husband

A hardworking man tarmacs all through his life

And when opportunity knocks the door, It peeps in, never opens the door wide open

A hard working parent swots day and night for his child to have a wonderful life

Yet the child, squanders the sweat of his father in women and drugs

A mother's knees are scarred due to the 3am prayers she makes for her family for 24 years

Yet, she's arrogantly assumed in the family

A girl pledges her heart to a man,

And the man promises his heart to many

Same script, different cast scenario

A servant faithfully serves his master

A master faithfully disregards him day in day out

And the Lord opened my mind.

Didn't He love what He created?

He never sleeps nor slumbers??

Sometimes I am busy looking for the answers to the mysteries of this life

Yet, that is not my jurisdiction.

My role is to live faithfully regardless of other variables

Mine is to live worthy of my calling

The judgement seat belongs to Abba Father

The questions and mysteries of this world are not ours to fathom

I fix my eyes upon the prize

I will do my part

Paint my world beautifully

The rest I leave to God

They say salvation is hard

To some it is unattainable

To others it is a dream

It is for the chosen few

To some of us, it is a reality

Salvation requires commitment

It is a relationship between two people

Salvation is hard, if not taken seriously

Well so is maths, so is engineering

So is raising children, so is life!!!

But hey don't we succeed in Maths??

Aren't there successful engineers??

Look at the children being born and raised today

They become icons in the society thanks to some serious parents somewhere

We give life our all

We meet targets

We go an extra mile for earthly benefits

But, utter the word salvation

A whole man caves in

The perception is salvation denies me of living life to its full!!!

It is believed if you’re saved, you got no life!!!

UNBELIEVABLE!!!

He who gives life and life in abundance is tagged as shady

He who created the beautiful sky and suspends the sun on it,

Fixed beautiful constellations

He who created the oceans we enjoy

The beaches we lie on

The landscapes we admire

The handsome men we fall for

He who created everything and it was beautiful

That same man is ignored

He is disregarded, an outcast in many hearts!!!

He who gave His life on the cross

Was flogged for sinners like us!!!

He had the power to say ''This is too much"

But HE DID NOT

He endure the cross for me and you

His love, His grace was in abundance for man

That same Man we dare ignore

Instead we worship MONEY

Our god is OUR WOMEN

OUR MEN are adored beyond the creator

OUR MUSIC, OUR FRIENDS, OUR DESIRES are our gods

We worship ALCOHOL!

One man said if the world was to end now,

He has to grab a beer because he is not sure he'll find his favorable brand in the next life



A sigh of disappointment

Where is the fear and respect when it comes to GOD??

Be careful how you address Him

Who speak foolishly before their Creator

Speak with wisdom

Know this Son of Man

It is a choice

Believe in your heart

Confess with your mouth

That Jesus is Lord

That is salvation

Salvation is by GRACE, never WORKS!!

The Lord washes us anew

Choose life

Choose Lord, the God of Moses, Jacob

The thief came to steal, kill and destroy

But Jesus came that we may have life and life in abundance.

Say Yes to life, and find life


John 3:16 John 10:10
John 3:5-15 John 12:24-26
Romans 10:9-10 Ephesians 2:8

My Prayer, My Desire

May the meditation of my heart

May the words of my mouth

Be acceptable in your sight Lord

May my sacrifice please you Lord

May every word that proceeds from my mouth bless and not curse

May my eyes show compassion to Your people Lord

May my hands bless you Lord

May they provoke a blessing in heaven Lord

May my feet lead me to the paths of righteousness

Lord may the meetings I attend

The interviews I am called to

May the vehicles I drive in

May the rooms I enter

May the people that You bring my way

Testify of the God in me

May your glory be before me

Shield me from the schemes of the Enemy

Lust of the flesh

The pride of life

The lust of the eye is not my portion Lord

Gladden my Spirit Father

That I may not cause a brother or a sister to fall

Lord This I pray

That my joy shall overflow

My peace shall be beyond any human understanding

And Lord please,

Mark me!!!

Mark me as Your own

Brand Me Lord

Help me not to forget I am Yours

Father may my lips know no blasphemous words

May they know no slander

May my phone know no flirts,

No hint of sexual sin

My FaceBook Inbox too Lord

May all you have entrusted me Lord

Be a blessing to You Lord and before Men too.

With faith Lord,

Amen!!!

I choose God with no regrets!!!

Lord don’t just take my words this time,

May actions accompany them too Daddy
