Awestruck at an indescribable and Perfect God

10 July 2012

The dictionary has no words to describe our God. A sentence gives no Justice to Abba. To experience Gods embrace so gentle, sometimes in down times, all we need is a hug. When you meet friends after a long period of time or some family members you realise a few are not quick to hug. It makes you feel awkward after hugging a non-hugging person. What about that half-hearted hugs?

God gives you not just any hug. When God leaves his throne room in the Heaven and comes in a Knight in shining armour riding a white horse whose tails is in flames. You can be sure God will hug more than you; God will hug your soul and your situation. Be assured God will bring great comfort to your situation.

Let me take you with me on a journey back in time. No. I have not found a time machine and No the Chinese never make a time machine (everything man made is made in China). (Raised eyebrow)

The book of Genesis God created the heaven and Earth, all its life forms by just speaking it, Omnificent God. God never struggled or screamed, he just said it and it was done. God who is not a drama student with expression and most certainly not an angry person with a projecting and ear drum piercing voice.

God also controls the weather and time.

A supernatural God controlling all natural processes like movement, growth, death and birth and controlling all events taking place all around the solar system at any given time, any nationality, any remote place, even those on the streets, even the outcast. He cares for them too.

6 billion people in the world

We forget names and faces. I forget student’s names in the classroom for crying out aloud. I get away by calling them sweet names like dear, young man, young lady, huni, doll, baby and darling. That is how I naturally am anyway so maybe I should not say I get away to a great degree. 

We forget to complete tasks and we forget what people tell us. Our memory is limited yet God has an unlimited mind and can hear billions of people at the same time and answer their requests.

We admire the amazing sunrise; we are taken aback by looking at the brightly shining stars lighting up the dark sky, we watch animals live and wonder how God created so beautiful creations. Same God lives in me.

There is nothing we do God does not see

Nothing we think or imagine that God does not know

 Or nothing we say God does not hear

Omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent

 All knowing and all powerful and all present God

I can go on and on but you need to open your eyes. The same God loves you equally, we hear of a democratic country but are they really democratic?

No way sunshine, it is all just a name but God my beloved friends is an equal God.

The same God blessed you and gave you victory, the same God will continue to do what he did for you, will do for you what he did for others and what he did in the days of the Bible. God will outdo it all; remember if he did it before he will surely as the heavens will do it again.
 Guaranteed, Note this guarantee lasts for eternity and it is safe to take the slip and throw it away because you have Gods promise and he isn’t a liar, if we speaking of lies we are talking about the Devil. God is too pure and true for that sort of things.

Conclusion:

Although there no end to God there is however, end to this blog post. (Sarcasm)

If you forget any aspect of this post, do not forget this…………..

God is your all in one appliance or tool

God is your universal solution; imagine that, the one solution for every problem, like Vanish washing powder hehehehehehehehe

One of my favourite songs is Indescribable by Chris Tomlin. below are the lyrics


From the highest of heights to the depths of the sea
Creation's revealing Your majesty

From the colors of fall to the fragrance of spring
Every creature unique in the song that it sings
All exclaiming

Indescribable, uncontainable

You placed the stars in the sky
And You know them by name
You are amazing, God

All powerful, untameable
Awestruck we fall to our knees
As we humbly proclaim
You are amazing, God

Who has told every lightning bolt where it should go
Or seen heavenly storehouses laden with snow
Who imagined the sun and gives source to its light
Yet, conceals it to bring us the coolness of night
None can fathom

Indescribable, uncontainable
You placed the stars in the sky
And You know them by name
You are amazing, God

All powerful, untameable
Awestruck we fall to our knees
As we humbly proclaim
You are amazing, God
You are amazing, God

Indescribable, uncontainable
You placed the stars in the sky
And You know them by name
You are amazing God

All powerful, untameable
Awestruck we fall to our knees
As we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God

Indescribable, uncontainable
You placed the stars in the sky
And You know them by name
You are amazing, God

Acting

09 May 2012

I was always a chatter box growing up. I was told once I first talked I never stopped (rolling eyes). I find this statement made by sarcastic family members to be absurd.   I had to stop to catch my breath and I am sure as there are the heavens and Earth, I surely did not sleep talk. I do admit looking at some home videos I am on a mission to destroy. My family find my expression and impersonations hilarious, brilliant and cute. Oh Yeah! I agree with them but it is so embarrassing to look at.

 Mum insists the guy I someday decide to bring home to marry will have to watch every home video and look at all my pictures.

 I feel doubt in my heart, doubt she does not want to see me marry. (Head down).

At the age of eight and nine or was it nine or ten, ummh, (Old Age) my mother enrolled me at Academy of Speech and Drama. Maeshni Naicker was my drama teacher who acted in “Broken Promises” as Saras. After two years off sending me to Speech and Drama Mother dearer had come to a conclusion which is…..

It added to my dramatic self, consequences are frightening.

Thankfully I was a monitor at class. The one time my teacher made another learner the monitor my name went on the board for talking before my teacher could leave the classroom. (Yikes)

Drama is my passion. Friends at Campus (University of Kwa-Zulu Natal Edgewood) call me DQ-Drama Queen

and I am not willing to let out any other nicknames from my childhood at this point. (Talk to the hand).  I wanted to do drama but my mum said there is not much money there, well years ago; times have altered the state of the work place and opportunities. I could have easily done drama or arts and culture as learning area but I did not want added drama (Stress), no pun intended (Giggles).

Choosing an intermediate and senior phase (Grade 4-9) in Bachelor of Education is the only phase that bridges both the primary and high schools therefore this meant being flexible with various subjects. One core module is called LAS (Learning Area Studies) comprising of Social Science one term and Arts culture the Second. The arts culture component requires you to develop a production comprising of song and dance for twelve minutes performed in a theatre with lecturers being present and sitting as Judges. We had to choose a History Topic and do a play about the History topic of your choice.

There is more….you needed to have lighting, props and it is open to the rest of the campus.

I feel like I am giving this description to learners and it is for marks (Oh my word, laughing out loud)

The highlight is I played an Indian man who falls in love with the maid and comes in drunk to his engagement to another young lady (Indian) there after running away with the maid.

Phew!!!! (Wiping sweat of face)

I looked so much like a man that I felt so odd using the ladies toilet, I got a shock when I looked at myself in the mirror in the Tinkle room (my nick for the Loo). I was like AAAh man (African American accent). It scared me so much to know I was behaving like a man, before the play I met a few friends male and female who went right pass me. Guys shook my hand and said What Kind bru. I was like Luka bru, how it’s vying. I was convincing until the dress room got cluttered. This dude looks at my Glimmer stick facial hair. Shock hit him I thought he was going to run on the stage. That was a good sign; the horrific moment was when I was even followed by other sexualities.

After the play when our group got together to take a few memorable snap shots. I told my friends WAIT!!! They asked me why? All confuzzled (confused). I told them my Shirt is not in my pants. They all burst out laughing but I saw no harm in what I said in the first few seconds. Delayed action I laughed mouth opened 30 seconds later. It was cheese time and mouth closed time (Flash).

While walking to the change rooms I bounced and walked. After dressing up from my man suit to my girlish clothes. I felt so odd and this my friends made me appreciate being me. Not me being a man (C’mon). Made me appreciate being my true self.

 What if I put a show for people making them to believe I am one type of person but in a different setting or behind closed doors I am someone totally opposite to who I really am?

People put masks on to be accepted by people because of attention (Spotlight), to fulfil expectations of others and peer pressure. If I had to please all the people in my life I will be so unhappy.

Think of all the people in your life at present.
A lot huh?

Imagine pleasing each and every individual.

Pressurizing and impossible

BUT

Friends in Christ Jesus

Pleasing God can make life easier than you think.

When I was at home I was a different girl compared to being at church and the same in School and with friends. It was difficult to stay as one person everywhere and even more difficult to decide which person I want to be everywhere.

Pulling off an act is easy but one slip up can melt your make up from your face like a hot summer’s day. Yeah I experienced that once, okay twice (Nose growing).

Are u split personality (Schizophrenia/ (Schizophrenic)?

In the play called “LIFE” are you playing a dual role?

Leading a double life can confuse you when you forget which role you playing

What role do you play, rather how do you play it?

You can fool everyone but you cannot fool God

You can lie to everyone but you lying more to yourself

I’d be lying to you to say it was easy changing, the popular one and life of the party but who says I am not popular now and not partying. Now the Angels and enemy knows me and my name and I party in the Heavens. God? He always knew me I just chose not to know him at that time. Sad huh!

Make a choice today and make the right choice

Be one person

Choose a person you are in every act and scene but better it

Be the person Jesus wants you to be

Be like Jesus

Christ likeness

The demand for Ransom

7^th May 2012

I am not going to explain who Donovan Munsamy also known as Brandon is to me. After being mentioned in two blog posts you should know him to be my Mentor/Spiritual brother by now. We chatted on Sunday and he inspired me to write a post on the demand and then about ransom so that brings me to my title THE DEMAND FOR RANSOM. I was still working on this post and Pragasen Pillay lead worship in Chatsworth on Sunday 13 May 2012 (Mother’s Day) and mentioned DEMAND. That is not all my Spiritual Daddy Pastor Trevor Dolan ministered and confirmed this blog and two others. God is amazing!

What is a demand?

It is related to a command. It is a statement. It has authority and dominion. You are not asking but telling. There no MANNER VOCABULARY involved in this demanding sentence because it has exclamation marks!

Scenario One:

At a restaurant you get poor service from your clumsy, forgetful, young waitress. Let’s give her a name. What shall we call her? (Put on my or our thinking cap {LOL}). How about Sarah. Sarah makes you wait awhile before she brings your order to you. As you wait your tummy begins singing Opera converting into a hungry beast. The smells of food travel from the kitchen into your nasal cavity and affect the Opera singers and starving beasts trapped in pit of your stomach. The other waitresses and waiters are on the roll. When they pass you the smell hits you and you get more upset, the steam also hits your face and you feel hot headed. A plan of action is needed but your brain requires energy, energy comes from food and this waitress has not brought it to you. The little energy you have you try and use to devise a master plan BUT distractions from fast waiters/waitresses comes and those opera singers and starving beast start acting up once again. Reminds me off Jacob and Esau in the Bible and that Bowl of Soup. History will not repeat itself; there are sauces on the Table.

Sarah smiles and gives you your order; all your plots and plans fade away as the steam evaporates. The little energy you have left is used to reach towards utensils and a platter. Smiling at Sarah you smile and look at your meal about to devour it as she stands beside you to ensure all is well. You look properly at your meal, and you are not surprised, you where brought a wrong order.

This is it, you release hungry beasts and opera singers and your appetite is now lost. Never again will you eat at this restaurant. You Demand to see the manager because you know you are right, in fact you have a right to a good service on time no matter what circumstances. When you see the manager, Sarah is scared because her manager is a higher ranking than her; she may lose her job or get a warning.

Now you understand the term DEMAND. Let’s look at Ransom.

Any action movie has a scene where someone is kidnapped and held hostage by obviously bad guys, if they were good they will not take a person and keep them safe or let alone kidnap. Imagine a few people take you somewhere and treat you like gold and after they are done leave you back in your home, safe and sound, how we wish. Just a few random thoughts thrown at you from my imaginative mind.

As I was saying to you. In most cases people who are kidnapped are either people in power, rich family or friends.  The bad guys are certain they will get a big amount of cash in small period of time if they get somebody kidnaped from a rich family. They will not kidnap a beggar from a street corner or a middle class individual; they rather join these individuals in their jobs or daily routines. Not worthy kidnapping a middle class/ Poor person all because these people have no big cash on hand.  The enemy calls the victim’s family with their voice exposed or a special device changing their voices into a voice from scary movie. (Chuckling away). They tell the family what we see happen in any movie this scene occurs in, “BRING THE _______ (RANSOM) MONEY TO ______LOCATION AT _____ TIME ON THE DOT, COME ALONE AND DO NOT TELL THE COPS OR WE WILL HURT _________”. The bad guy takes the victim near the mobile  for them to scream through a dirty looking piece of dusting furniture or washing car cloth tied around their mouth, EEEEWWW!!!!. The victim will try and have a lengthy conversation with their family member as if the bad guys are lending free minutes. The victim might say do not come it is a trap and the bad guys cut the call.  The victim’s family get police involved and bad guys find out, if bad guys do not find out, WHERES THE MOVIE? WHERE IS THE ACTION?

It is predictable because in a scary movie I know somebody is going to slip and twist their ankle and throughout the whole movie they will be limping and running away from their killer with help from someone else who will try to help them balance and be their eyes and not forgetting saying “HE IS COMING, FASTER”. The individual limping will say “LEAVE ME”. The helper will say I am not leaving you.  At the end the one limping survives. They need to change it around now.

Really, (Shaking head from side to side).

What did I tell you??????? PREDICTABLE!!!!!!!

Scenario Two:

(Inspired to use the name when I entered and boring Lecture in Lecture 7 UKZN Edgewood for language and Literacy 320 and found this on the smart bored, I smiled to myself to know God wanted me to use this in this post)

There is a man called SINBAD (Not his name SIN_BAD) also known as Satan and he Kidnaps you because he hears you have big inheritance from ABRAHAM. Sinbad did his homework and found out you are a prince and princess and your father is the King of the world. Sinbad knew a smart move is to kidnap you. Sinbad calls your Father. Abba Father

also known as God answers and (Such a Glory as I type this part to you) send Ransom as promised.

ABBA Father sends JESUS and TWO STICKS. Jesus nailed to the cross is what Father sends to Sinbad. As sung by Chris Tomlin, JESUS MESSIAH; a part of the Lyrics there is a line that goes “THE RANSOME FROM HEAVEN”. Whom the son sets free is free indeed.

you are now free

You can demand wisdom, demand the anointing. Demand for it with authority because you have the right to demand for it. Ask like it is yours, have faith and call what is not as if it is.
