Brokeness = Breakthrough + Breakfree

How can brokenness, a name which is broken and useless be equal to any break through?

Any appliance, ornament or object when it is broken you throw it away OR do you do what my 73 year old grandfather does?

Keep it to dismantle it try and fix it. If he wins we have a use for it but if he fails then my mum and I better find a way of throwing it away (Serious face).

How can any object or situation be beneficial if any component is broken?

Watch this space.

A seed is planted in the rich loam fertile soil. A seed is watered and exposed to sunlight. After days of nurturing a seed you see sprouts appear from the ground. Over joyed from your sprout knowing it will grow to produce.

BUT

What you fail to realise is ……..

The seed needed to be broken before it produced. The seed was dropped in a hole like Joseph’s brother throwing him in a pit. (Genesis 37). The seed was pushed into the soil like you being shoved into a position that does not have a mould for you to fit in. We fail to acknowledge a seed breaks before its roots stretch towards d soil. It is painful when we are stretched in all directions. The stem stretches towards the sun (pun intended-SON of GOD) and trusts me it is not an enjoyable process.

A pregnant woman waits for her water pipe to break before giving birth to child/children. Pass you due date and you water pipe did not break?

It is urgent for you to go to the doctor as soon as possible. Your child needs to break free.

Her birth canal is stretched as she pushes through.

How bad do you want break through?

Push through

Birth forth Newness

An egg shell needs to be broken for a chick or reptile to emerge out of the shell there has to be a stretching of body parts because a chick/Reptile is not laid in an egg with the necessary tools (Chisel, hammer) to break out.

Can u imagine a Reptile chiselling his way through?

It’s not easy and some Mothers help their children only if they make an effort to break the shell a little.

Remind me of Abba, God will help you but you have to show him you have the willingness and sometimes the willingness is faith and believing God is able even in a dark shell.

Grapes are crushed and its skin breaks, the grapes is smashed and wine is produces. A Gethsemane position

A coconut is cracked open to eat the coconut and drink coconut water.

Dross needs to be broken

Horns are removed and scraped

Let me explain to you how hot springs are formed. I was fascinated by it when I learnt about it myself before teaching it to my wonderful grade five learners (Natural Science) during Teaching Practice. The Earth has three layers like an Astro or a Fererro chocolate. The first layer is the crust, then the chocolate layer is the mantle and the biscuit centre or the nutty centre represents the centre of the Earth our Core which has a Temperature of 6000 degree Celsius.

The top layer, the crust is like 680 km thick, there is a crack from deep within and the water is hot because of the heat from the core. The water pushes through the crack and the through the top layer of the surface of the Earth BUT we will only get a hot spring if the earth’s crust is thin. In weakness, spring up like a hot spring. We can boast in weakness al because God can even come through to us in that spilt second when we need him the most.

Parts of this post like most posts where typed during great trials and brokenness, giving up is no option. Pushing through is what you have to do because we were not designed to be weak and fragile but strong and victorious. Even weakness you can go through the throne rooms of God and worship, at times I fought with him because situations tried to drain me and make me feel overcome with sickness. I refused to stay to long in a situation. I do not mind being tested but I refuse to be tormented. I will hunt down the enemy and drop the word of God on his head.

As I felt weak and broken I decided not to sit and mope but spend some time in the sweet presence of Yahweh. I said to God when I reached his Throne room “I don’t want to feel” before I could complete a sentence to God. He came to embrace me and it ushered in a strong presence of God. It is true Psalms 34 v 18 “YAHWEH is CLOSE to the BROKEN hearted and SAVES those who have CRUSHED spirit”.

Was Jesus Messiah not crushed and broken, tempted by the enemy?

A broken man on tree?

 He is no longer a baby in a manger, a broken man on the cross, he’s alive, and he’s coming, prepare the way. Lyrics taken from Misty Edwards, Lion of Judah.

Video Games: Every Dimension and level is different from the previous

Everyone enjoys playing games and I am well aware there are many types and kinds of games exist around the Globe. Games for fun, educational games, religious games, quiz games, board games, card games, mobile games, computer games and even play station games. Many children including adults love playing games on computers and play stations. It is quiet addictive I have discovered. Rules of games differ greatly but what is the single aim of playing game?

To some it is to have fun, unfortunately this isn’t the case with me, winning is a must. I get so disappointed when I lose a game. If you could only see my face, Oh my word! I sulk so much to a point my friends will tell me“it’s just a game” but to me it was more than a game. I wanted to win, to be on top.

Am dealing with my ridiculous behavior as we speak or as you read(Smirk).

Moving further>>>>>>>>>>>>>

In order to get to a winning position. One must climb to the top of a ladder. I am not saying all games have ladder but one does come to mind. Snakes and ladders?

Did you think of that one too?

There are different dimensions to games. Each dimension as you make your way up consists of different components that are harder than the previous Level/dimension.

It has to be harder,

Howyou expect a game to be so easy at each and every level.

What will we belearning if it was?

Where’s the challenge?

If you answered NO! ……………..         

You say you do not want a challenge?Then go play with a child. Play with an individual/s half your age because you don’t want a challenge. You want everything served on a silver platter and you expect to be fed.

That behavior of yours is not going to take you anywhere in life.

How are you going to be wise?

The significance of what goes on in the Games

Free lives- are what you gain when you are smart enough and find hidden places. It Is another chances to win, to go on and conquer the game.

It is God saying. NO my child, your time is not now. Go on, live life or saying you are forgiven. Here is another chance to try again.

Enemies-There has to be an opponent or bad guys who chase after you trying to not injure BUT kill you so you will not move to the next dimension...

In life obstacles and distractions are ways to bring you down the ladder or to make you start previous levels again or at the beginning of a game. It is rather frustrating but hey, looks at the brighter side. You get to be more cautious so you ensure the same mistakes will not be repeated.

Powers- looking at your enemy they each have different types of powers and you fight back with powers too. The difference is your enemy has demonic powers from the Devil but we have supernatural and Glorious powers from God. We are not seen to be bad guys. We are seen to be GOOD GUYS. We go in with no fear but faith.

Aim- every game has an aim of winning. New dimensions consist of different levels but there are times you are smart enough to unlock some port hole which cater poles you to the next dimension...  you are over the moon and you are flying so high because you thought you had to go through the whole process but you quantum leaped.. In some games the aim is to save a life. You are a warrior, secret agent, a hero or someone with an elevated position.

Speed- momentum helps a great deal when escaping your enemies, finding refuge and fighting your enemies to. When you are slow, progression is slow too and when you are slow it’s easy for the enemy to catch up with you.

Weapons-

A range of various weapons different from what our enemies use.

Ever wondered why?

We fight on different sides. We are of different bloodline and peculiar sort of people. Basically, we move with spiritual weapons to affect natural battles. That is how we operate.

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.

Secret Agents

I would not consider myself much of a couch potatoes

but when I spend time with my first cousins Calin Jainarain (13) and Jachin Samuel Jainarain (8) watching movies like spy kids or any other type of movies having detectives like FBI, CSI

 

and so forth are so interesting to me. You have an individual, either a group or an organization who seems to lead a normal life to those around them but no one knows they are secret agents working undercover. Some organizations work along with the government or person in power helping bring Justice and freedom. These organizations have no evidence of their existence. Their lives are given for the agency. How cool is that. What’s even better! We are secret agents for Christ on Earth. Superheroes, hitmen are other examples of people organizations have, hire and use to execute a plan successfully. There is a secret place these agents meet ti discuss  a plan known as HEADQUARTERS.

Note: Soldiers for Christ (Previous blog post) mentioned we are here on a mission. With regards to secret agents we have assignments given to us.

What do I mean??????

We are in the world but not of the world. We are here to bring change so I guess we could say we are also Known as changing agents. We are here to say to those in darkness ‘Show yourself’. To remove chains of bondage, to remove scales from their eyes, to set the captives free, to remove burdens. Not with our power or our own strength but from God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. We are here to give back what the opposing agency wants to take away, kill and destroy. To give hope to the hopeless. To save souls, encourage, love, show those whom are lost there’s way out. To preach the Gospel. To feed the hungry and clothe the poor.



Isaiah 61



Secret agents sometimes expose their true identity when working on an assignment.
