My music world!

The fastest way to pass a message to someone is through music! Music has a great influence on most of the actions we take as human beings. Music to me is a fufilment of destiny, it carries an unusal power takes hold of our emotions or feelings. Music influences the heart of a man a great deal! I got a great passion for music which has made me what I am today. It all started when I was 9yrs old, drums, guitar and the piano.
I saw musical instruments as a great aid to a man's musical desire. In this Blog, I would try as much as possible to explain the relationship between a musician, his instrument and God's power through my life experinces.
My name is Michael Oghenegawhanye Bezi, I was born in the year 1992 in the family of Mr. and Mrs. Priscilla Bezi. I stayed in lagos for the first 9yrs of my life. At that time, I knew nothing about music but I so much so loved the drums and I could play for hours, not on the drums but on tables, chairs and even on my body parts. It was kinda wierd though but I didn't really understand myself back then. I never knew why I did most of the things I did, come to think of it, I was just a kid... What was I supposed to think of? It was all fun to me back then, but as I began to grow, my passion for music increased a great deal!
When I got to delta state at the age of nine, I began to learn the drums and sing to! It was in a little church back then (R.C.C.G) "city of refuge" at Eku. I learnt how to sing the alto and play the drums a little bit, I would say that that was my musical foundation, It was fun and sometimes challenging but I enjoyed all of it. I remember when I sang a song during an alnight program titled "He would do it again" something happened; there had been no electricity supply in the area for quite sometime, but after I finished singing, the light came on and everyone cheered for Joy. I tried singing the song anytime there was no power supply and it worked for me, but after sometime, it stopped.
I left Eku for Obiaruku; it was the beginning of a new era in my music career, I was thought more on singing and drumming and I learnt a new instrument called the Piano! It was lots and lots of fun for me, But all this time, I never thought of putting into my music life. I thought music was all about melody, I never knew the power behind music. Although I was a Christian but I never knew how God works through music; He could drive away demons, raise the dead and equip a christian with power through music.
When I discovered the power in Music, I began to understand the story of David in the Bible in another dimension, I discovered that he was a man that was inspired by God in all that he did, he wrote the whole of psalms through God's inspiration. I would like to say "he was a man after God's own heart" but I would preferrably say "he is a man after God's own heart" because he still lives in heaven with God.
I love music because of God's power in it and I hope I would be able to share alot of it with you.
 God Bless you!

The life of Jesus...

At the age of 30, a man walks up to His parents and says "Mum, Dad, I'm leaving home for the ministry God has placed in my hands". They knew this was gonna come but they never knew when it would happen, Mum wouldn't even cry 'cause she's been pre-informed by Angel Gabriel. Dad thinks about the carpentry workshop, but can't really say anything to change the mind of the Son of God! They bless Him and let Him go. What would you do if you were Mary or Joseph? Would you do thesame? You hear the good works of your son from afar, but cannot see Him. Mary and Joseph urged His brothers to join him and they did. Would you have done that if you were Jesus' parents? John comes running to Mary, 'your son has been arrested by the pharisees'. She goes with John to see her son. She watched Him die... But that didn't stop her from living according to God's will. What has God given you that you feel your fellowship with Him depends on it? Is it a wife, husband, children, buildings, cars, e.t.c. What if God takes it from you as he did to Job, would you back down? God bless you!

The Last Option (Backup plan)

I've just been told to read, I ask for hints on what to read, 'no past questions' says my pastor friend. A voice speaks to me and says, 'now you need me!'. I am preparing for an examination without any hint on where to read from a textbook i've never opened before. Where do I start from? The voice comes again and says 'you've got eight chapters in the book, read chapters 1,4,7 and 3. It dawns on me that God has been speaking to me, i've been preparing for the examination all by myself, I never seek advice from God. Sometimes we try to do things on our own but we really can't perfect it without God's help. So many christians today take God as their last option or backup plan, when we've failed to do things on our own, we remember that we have a God of impossibilities. Why struggle when you've got a helper who is ever ready to help us? Put God first in day to day activities and He'll never disappoint you. God bless you!

Things that matter

Sometime in life, we've got to think before we act. Even the smallest human being on earth thinks before acting. I've developed my own strategy of thinking by taking a walk along the streets, to think about my life. Thinking to me is like taking a pause in my life; analysing all what i've done and planning towards what i'm to do in the future. Thinking helps to ease the stress and tension of this life. The best form of thinking cannot be compared to walking with God. No matter how much you think, you still require God's direction in terms of planning towards your future. Because if you plan your lifestyle according to your wish & not God's wish, you'll end ur being a failure. The best thing that could ever happen to a man is to walk with God according to His will. If you're a singer, write down your songs, prepare yourself for the future ministrations. If you're a writer, write down your books and prepare for publishing. If you're a movie producer, write down the films you want to produce with the movie stars you want, to be seen; by your audience. If you're a pastor, start reading books inline with your ministry, 'cause a time will come when you will do more of preaching than studying the word. The future is now! God bless you!

That name 'Jesus'

Sitting at the right hand of God, He hears His name from the earth below, He rushes down to the earth but discovers it was only an exclamation from a man watching a pornographic film. "THOU SHALL NOT CALL THE NAME OF THE LORD IN VAIN!" That He died for mankind does not give ur the right to misuse His name. We must call on the name of Jesus whenever we want to talk to Him or in the times of trouble, trials or temptations. 'Jesus!, i'm running late for work, Jesus!, i'm supposed to be at home by now!, Jesus!, you mean you forgot the money? Jesus!, i'm dead!' Why not; Jesus I love, thank you Jesus for what you've done in my life!, Jesus you're so good! It might be difficult but with time and the help of the Holyspirit, we would be able to understand the usefulness or importance of the name 'Jesus'. God bless you!

Humility (being an instrumentalist)

As soon as you can play a musical instrument be it a drum, piano, guitar, trumpet or saxophone e.t.c pride follows you. It tries as much as possible to take over your mentality.
I've been there before; it only makes a fool out of you. As an instrumentalist, we must clothe ourselves with humility. It ain't easy at all because we feel we have every reason to be proud but as they say 'pride goeth before a fall'.
You learn nothing when you are proud of what you know but learn alot when you are humble. Only the humble are ready to learn more than what they already know.
A proud instrumentalist performs before the people but the humble plays the instrumentalist with all his heart.
How do you play your instrument?
God bless you!

Sin is not an option

Looking at the life of Jesus, sin was never an option in His lifetime, some would say 'because He was from above' but what of Enouch? He was a man just like you and I, but during his lifetime, he walked with God and he knew no sin. He served God in a perfect way. Sin is not an option for every true christian. In whatsoever situation we fine ourselves, we should not embrace sin as an option but rather, think of what Jesus would do in such situations. Sin is the ultimate answer to every problem in the life of sinners. If we're born again, we should change that sinful nature and embrace holiness, we should be able to stand perfect before God (matt.5:48). A believes whose life is filled with sin is a burden to the christian faith because, he was saved to save others. The best way to live a victorious christian life is to make Jesus the solution to all problems in life and not sin. God bless you!
