Today, I celebrate with my fellow Trinbagonians as we celebrate 47 years of Independence from Great Britain. This is a great accomplishment as a small nation and no small feat at that. To be trusted with such power and responsibility for over 1.4 million people, is an honor yet I compare this with our lives as Christians.

I really do believe that if Christ had to choose a mode of Government, it will be a variance of Communism, Democracy, and Socialism. His goal will be to achieve total dependence on the Creator and interdependence among creation. We will surrender our very essence to God and have Him use us in the most creative way that brings Him the most glory. As we serve God with our all, we also serve His people. We must understand that loving God requires loving His people. This is a commandment, a commitment, and a choice.

One thing is constant and that is change, but what we fear the most is not change but loss. We grief for what we think is most dear to us and makes us most comfortable. We must however understand that being a disciple of Christ, one must experience loss. Paul admits after exchanging all worldly acclaim as a devout Jew to becoming a measly apostle of Christ that " whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ." We have been chosen for this.... do not let this loss constrict you from the greater calling you have been wired to accomplish.

Know this:

Where there is change, people notice

Matthew 5:13-16


"You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men. 14 "You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 1In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.

Where this is change, your challenge then becomes your opportunity

Acts 1:3-7

3After his death, he presented himself alive to them in many different settings over a period of forty days. In face-to-face meetings, he talked to them about things concerning the kingdom of God. 4As they met and ate meals together, he told them that they were on no account to leave Jerusalem but "must wait for what the Father promised: the promise you heard from me. 5John baptized in water; you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit. And soon."

6When they were together for the last time they asked, "Master, are you going to restore the kingdom to Israel now? Is this the time?"
7He told them, "You don't get to know the time. Timing is the Father's business. 8What you'll get is the Holy Spirit. And when the Holy Spirit comes on you, you will be able to be my witnesses in Jerusalem, all over Judea and Samaria, even to the ends of the world."

Where there is change, your character is built and commitment is redefined

Philippians 3:10-17

10I gave up all that inferior stuff so I could know Christ personally, experience his resurrection power, be a partner in his suffering, and go all the way with him to death itself. 11If there was any way to get in on the resurrection from the dead, I wanted to do it.
Focused on the Goal
12I'm not saying that I have this all together, that I have it made. But I am well on my way, reaching out for Christ, who has so wondrously reached out for me. 13Friends, don't get me wrong: By no means do I count myself an expert in all of this, but I've got my eye on the goal, where God is beckoning us onward--to Jesus. 14I'm off and running, and I'm not turning back.

15So let's keep focused on that goal, those of us who want everything God has for us. If any of you have something else in mind, something less than total commitment, God will clear your blurred vision--you'll see it yet! 16Now that we're on the right track, let's stay on it.
17Stick with me, friends. Keep track of those you see running this same course, headed for this same goal.




My peeps, ponder on this... Change never comes easy, but the rewards are definitely worth it!

Born into His Will!

There is no safer place to be than in the will of God. There may be tumultuous times and the sun may seem like it will never shine on your situation but know that the SUN of righteousness still reigns on high in all HIS glory. This is the story of my life. Please stay tuned with me as we begin with the PREFACE in days to come. Know that our Providential God was there from the beginning and knew my epilogue even though it has not been written. There are many things, I will love for you to know much as we journey together revealing the awe of our OMNISCIENT God.

Precept No#1 God's will transcends barriers, cultures, space, time, countries, water and our limited thinking. Let's ponder this together. Fell free to leave your comments!

Isaiah 55:8-11 (The Message)

8-11"I don't think the way you think.
The way you work isn't the way I work."
God's Decree.
"For as the sky soars high above earth,
so the way I work surpasses the way you work,
and the way I think is beyond the way you think.
Just as rain and snow descend from the skies
and don't go back until they've watered the earth,
Doing their work of making things grow and blossom,
producing seed for farmers and food for the hungry,
So will the words that come out of my mouth
not come back empty-handed.
They'll do the work I sent them to do,
they'll complete the assignment I gave them.


Psalm 139 (The Message)

Psalm 139: 1-22

A David Psalm

1-6 God, investigate my life; get all the facts firsthand.
I'm an open book to you;
even from a distance, you know what I'm thinking.
You know when I leave and when I get back;
I'm never out of your sight.
You know everything I'm going to say
before I start the first sentence.
I look behind me and you're there,
then up ahead and you're there, too—
your reassuring presence, coming and going.
This is too much, too wonderful—
I can't take it all in!

7-12 Is there anyplace I can go to avoid your Spirit?
to be out of your sight?
If I climb to the sky, you're there!
If I go underground, you're there!
If I flew on morning's wings
to the far western horizon,
You'd find me in a minute—
you're already there waiting!
Then I said to myself, "Oh, he even sees me in the dark!
At night I'm immersed in the light!"
It's a fact: darkness isn't dark to you;
night and day, darkness and light, they're all the same to you.

13-16 Oh yes, you shaped me first inside, then out;
you formed me in my mother's womb.
I thank you, High God—you're breathtaking!
Body and soul, I am marvelously made!
I worship in adoration—what a creation!
You know me inside and out,
you know every bone in my body;
You know exactly how I was made, bit by bit,
how I was sculpted from nothing into something.
Like an open book, you watched me grow from conception to birth;
all the stages of my life were spread out before you,
The days of my life all prepared
before I'd even lived one day.

17-22 Your thoughts—how rare, how beautiful!
God, I'll never comprehend them!
I couldn't even begin to count them—
any more than I could count the sand of the sea.
