Welcome~

Hello and Welcome~


The world is blind to these SEVEN, pivotal facts:

1. The Bible communicates Heaven’s 'Multi-millennial Strategic Plan for Humanity'.

2. There are SEVEN ages appointed for humanity.

3. We are nearing the end of the THIRD age, a pivotal turning point in this strategy.

4. A GREAT falling away from the Christian faith is predicted during the ending days of this THIRD age, as a result of backsliding, general lukewarmness and outright apostasy among the heretofore faithful. Look around and this you will clearly see.

5. Biblical prophecies have been and remain seeds of human history.

6. Yet-fulfilled prophecies, unfolding apace, are worthy of diligent study.

7. Now is the time to get and stay on ‘the right side of Bible prophecy’.

Unprecedented (Poem)


Unprecedented! This never happened before!
That’s the first time ever! Nothing’s normal anymore!
Long established records broken!
Everything normal, now questioned!

I speak not of happenings in our day,
But when Noah’s ark would be swept away!
Imagine the panic when down from the sky,
Water would fall on everything that was …dry!

According to the ole story in The Bible,
It hadn't flooded before; perhaps rained and drizzled.
But folk were sinful, so God sent rain, suddenly!
In His Sovereignty, people were judged, stridently!

To them He gave Grace for quite a long time,
But into the ark, they refused to climb.
Without further warning, Grace was called home,
After folk had rejected …His Shalom.

Unprecedented!!! This never happened before!!!
That’s the first time ever!!! Nothing’s normal anymore!!!
Long established records broken!!!
Everything normal, now questioned!!!

I speak not of happenings in Noah’s day,
But now, when most things ‘normal’ are swept away!
Socio-cultural norms no longer ingrained,
Politics rooted in lies, contempt and disdain.

Climate, soil, air and oceans …acidified.
Insects, fish, animals and plants …damnified.
Disasters at rates …inconceivable,
With their mounting costs …incalculable.

But this time, there’s a big difference,
In God’s promised destruction sequence.
While in the flood, the rain came suddenly.
This time, judgments arrive …progressively!!!

To progressive judgments, one benefit,
Is time to repent, our gross sins to quit,
And to righteous living to recommit.
But…
We rarely hear of sins, I must admit.

Thus, for us, God’s progressive judgments may only serve,
To catalyze responses for what’s around the curve.
If we dont do a collective lifestyle about-face,
Then at least, let’s agree to …appreciate His Grace.

If progressive judgments could somehow be,
‘Grace practice runs’ for what He said we’ll see,
Then we really need to ramp up our game.
‘Cause to date, our responses are quite lame.

Two Prayer Challenges (Poem)

See the Prayer and Praying Series here

A popular author and pastor has extended,

A new challenge, weak prayer lives to reboot:

‘Pray four minutes a day, till four weeks are expended’.

For such a need, can anyone dispute?


‘Four minutes, four topics, for four weeks’, don’t quit. 1

An innovative notion, prayer lives to rekindle,

And a new habit in your mind and spirit.

Imagine the impact on sons who are prodigal.


Like a modem with limited connectivity,

This challenge could not serve fast-growing needs.

Yikes! Imagine the frustrating receptivity!

From your provider, you’d demand …more speed!


Mindful of this fact I have now become:

Earth bears fruits from seeds’ ambitions. 2

Seeds are at the start of every problem.

Seeds give the final solutions.


Jesus once said we ought always to pray, 3

And in Him to always abide, 4

Lest we risk becoming a devil’s prey,

Or trapped in a ...lukewarmness tide. 5


‘Always?’, I asked. ‘How is that humanly possible??’

He answered, ‘A constant prayer life is how

in Me you abide.

Since I know your thoughts well before, in your mind, they settle,

Across the table of your mind, My seat is always occupied!’


So…

If that prayer challenge is but a small seed,

What good fruits, pray tell, might it one day yield?

The answer’s clear when on God’s Word we feed:

Your thought life becomes …your seeding prayer field.


‘Do all things as unto The Lord’, to us is written. 6

Since all day long, thinking is the biggest thing we all do,

Don’t imagine that, from Him, all our thoughts ...are hidden.

So, turn thoughts into prayers, since there’s

no escape from His view.


While small beginnings should never be despised, 7

Neither with smallness, should we remain satisfied.

When on the path of abundant life, we stride,

Our thoughts are ‘before and unto Him’, bona fide.


Like a modem with un-limited connectivity,

God’s challenge will serve your maturing need.

wOw! Imagine the satisfying receptivity,

When, to His prayer challenge, you accede.


I leave you with a tip that worth pon'dring.

Sinner or saint, this tip should be humbling.

Whenever you think you are ‘just thinking’,

It’s to Him you are …always up-linking!
