Speechless

If I want to express how I feel towards a person or a thing and I do not have the right words to use, I would use something close to it to describe it.
   "Your love is magical, that's how I feel
      But I have not the words here to explain"
   God's love is not magical but it is supernatural. But to M.J, it was a magical feeling that cannot be expressed in words.
   "Gone is the Grace for expression of passions, but there are worlds and worlds of ways to explain, to tell you how I feel".
   I feel God's love is unimaginable, its beyond words. That's why he said
   "But I am speechless, that's how you make me feel. When I'm with you, I am far away and nothing is for real".
   When you genuinely experience God's presence, you would feel so free from all your worries and all the cares of this life.
   "When I'm with you I'm lost of words, I don't know what to say. My heart's spinning like a carousel, so silently I pray".
   Looking at the last line "pray". It happens when you feel God's overwhelming presence, you begin to pray silently in your heart.
   Michael Jackson was rich, famous and had a wonderful gift but he felt empty inside.
   "Helpless, hopeless, that's how I feel inside".
   That's how he felt when he encountered our Lord Jesus Christ.
   "Nothing's real, all is possible if God is on my side".
   Michael believed that everything he had was vanity because something was missing which people call the G-factor.
   "When I'm with you I am in the light, where I cannot be found. Its as though I'm standing in, a place called hollowed ground".
   The first part talks about his encounter while the other talks about where he stands.
   Apostle Paul said, the things I do not want to do, I find myself doing them. That's how Michael felt, but he discovered that within him, something held him down .
   "I can go anywhere, I can do anything just to touch your face"
   The woman with the issue of blood said in her heart, "if I could just touch the helm of His garment, I know I'll be made whole". Michael hope to get something from touching the face of who?
   "There's no mountain high, I cannot climb, I'm humbled by your Grace".
   Grace that humbles a man is extraordinary, it is owned by one man "Jesus Christ".
   But the question is, did he ever get the chance to be saved or did he hold on to his belief that he stood in a hollowed ground?
   It doesn't take time to understand a song just got to read between the lines and you would understand why the song was written. It could take an hour, a day or even a year. When you do that, you will realize how important the song is to the writer.
   God bless you!

Can you feel it?

   An impressionist paints the world the way he sees it. He's got a unique way of choosing colours while painting. It might not be what you expect but it is wonderful.
   Music is like a painting, the more you hear it, the more you understand it. It could take a month to understand a song the song to the fullest.
   The first time you listen to a song, you might not capture every detail of the song. But time after time, you'll get to know it better.
   When I listen to a song, I begin to wonder what the writer felt when the song was written and for what purpose the song was written. If I do not know these things, I wouldn't conveniently understand the message of the song.
   So many people believe music is all about beats, tones and melodies. But there is more to it than that. It is a means of communication between two or more people. It could be a cry for help, it could be a prayer, it could portray love, it could show deep emotions. That is music! If you do not understand that, then you don't really feel music.
    The world is changing, so many musicians today strive to be the best. They keep singing the songs people want to hear and forget about what the people really need to hear.
   I do believe each true musician have a feeling of what true music is all about, but due to unforeseen circumstances we become biased and lose focus. Please come back home and feel true music.
God bless you!

The guitar

The guitar has always been a part of my life. Although I couldn't play it but I just believed that someday I would. When I watched my uncle play, I admired the sound I heard and the Joy I could see on his face whenever he played.
It is a six stringed instrument that has inspired so many generations. It is a source of inspiration, to me. I could play it all day long, it gives inner peace.
I've met guitarists and the guitar seems to be their companion. They love it so much.
A guitar draws down the presence of God that is,  if you are skillful and you are filled with the Holy Spirit. You would begin to hear the inaudible melody from above. The Holy Spirit can make you play what you've never heard or imagined. Ask for his presence today.
God bless you!

Jesus the son of God

I've always wondered if I would ever have a personal interview with Jesus. I would have a lot of questions to ask Him, it might be crazy but it really is amazing. First of all, why was he born by a virgin and in a manger, wasn't there a better place for the birth of the Messiah? I mean, I'd love to be born in a golden house filled with roses... People would say it was humility, but I feel there is something more to that. It has to do with creation, I really do not know. When he was born, he was subject to his parents and did carpentry work until he was thirty. Why did he had to go through that process? Isn't he the son of God? Why didn't he begin his ministry at a tender age? When he chose his disciples, he didn't pick them because they were intelligent, talented, handsome or well to do, he just singled them out. I would love to know why, but do I really need to know? So many times when things go wrong, we begin to ask God why? Do we really need to know why or we should just believe in him? I feel we should just believe him. It was prophesied that Jesus would bring Peace to the world. When His disciples watched him die, it was like all hope was lost. But His death was for a reason, it reunited man and God. God's ways are never like us but we must believe in him, He has good thoughts towards us His children. We must never doubt Him, it might be crazy to understand His ways, but we must learn to understand him. God bless you!

Vessels of worship

It all started last year, it first came as a thought and gradually it became a reality. Our first name was "THE CHURCH". We later changed it to the "VESSELS OF WORSHIP". Back then, it was just me, Caleb and his brother Joel. I played the piano and sang, Caleb played the acoustic guitar and sang and his brother Joel played the drums. We started the music classes this year. The vision behind it is to raise up people in churches that could not just play instruments but people that would be able to minister to the hearts of many God's word through music. It's been God all the way, we couldn't have achieved this on our own but for His Grace. As many of you who have a vision that God has laid in your hands. The time is now, God is ready but he wants to work with you if you have faith. God bless you!

Blessed Redeemer

It's a song that I love and cherish a lot. It's a hymn song which can be found in the MFM hymn book titled "Up cavalry's mountain". But I love the Casting Crowns version, it's something that makes me realize the pains Christ went through to save us from sin.
Here's my version...

                          A#m G#       F#     
Blind and unheeding, dying for me

Verse 2
A#m                                C#                         G# 
         "Father, forgive them," my Savior prayed

E'en while His life's blood flowed fast away
A#m                       C#                              G#
        Praying for sinners while in such woe
                       D#m                     F#
No one but Jesus ever loved souls

Seems now I see Him on Calvary's tree
                                C#                            G#
Wounded and bleeding, for sinners pleading
                          A#m G#       F#

        Oh how I love Him, Savior and friend
                          D#m
How can my praises ever find end
A#m                                   C#                               G#
        Through years unnumbered on Heaven's shore
                                  D#m                    F#
My songs shall praise Him forevermore

Blind and unheeding, dying for me
