WE REMEMBER... HE REMEMBERS... | 21ST SEPTEMBER



11 But then I recall all you have done, O Lord; I remember your wonderful deeds of long ago. 
12 They are constantly in my thoughts. I cannot stop thinking about your mighty works.
Psalm 77:12 (NLT)

Most of the following events happened several years ago…


I was cleaning my room one day and had climbed up to rid the ceiling of cobwebs. I got close to the middle of the room and started hearing a thump on the ceiling. I began to look for the source of the sound only to discover the ceiling fan was hitting against my forearm as my left hand was supporting my weight while I cleaned with my right. How my forearm wasn’t gashed remains a mystery to me...


On three occasions, I would have lost my eyesight:
I was adjusting the cymbal for a drummer and he struck the cymbal. The cymbal hit me in the face between my eyes and I bled. I still bear the mark…
On another occasion, I was walking to my hostel in secondary school and a tree branch hanging low, cut me just below my left eye. I shuddered at the thought of what would have happened if I was any shorter than I was then…
Lastly, I was trying to start a generator and the lever came loose while in motion, hitting me on the left side of my head close to the eye socket. The impact was so intense that I had a headache almost immediately…


I was clearing a bed and as I picked up a piece of cloth, I began to hear a clink on the floor. It sounded twice but I didn’t know what it was. I moved the piece of cloth away and looked down to see a light bulb about returning head first to hit the ground THE THIRD TIME. I’m not sure which one was more shocking to me; how I caught it before it hit the ground a third time or how it didn’t break the first two times when it had hit a concrete floor…



We were in school and while reading outside, another student was playing on the desk. He missed his step and fell towards me. I had a ballpoint pen in my mouth and the impact drove it into my jaw. I removed the pen but tried to remove the cover to no avail. It locked my jaw and I could not close my mouth. Blood and saliva kept gushing out and it took the use of something like pliers to remove the cover. As it was being pulled out, I was hearing a sound like many tiny wires snapping…


On two occasions, I impaled my foot. The healing happened so quickly that days after, I struggled to remember which foot it was...





I was headed home from college and while in the bus, I fell asleep; I was seated behind the driver. All of a sudden, I woke up to see the driver’s seat coming towards me; we were in an accident. Out of reflex, I curled up to brace for impact and amidst the loud clanging and banging, I heard my voice saying within me “I just know I am covered by the blood of Jesus”. After I heard these words in my spirit, I was unperturbed and only waited for the car to come to a stop so I could come out of it. I came out through what I thought was the door until I walked away and saw that it was where the windshield used to be. I had the blood of others on my body but not mine. On arriving the hospital, the doctor asked me some questions and discharged me almost immediately…

I am grateful for several other victories especially those in which I didn't need to fight.

Man remembers the past, God remembers the future.

My future is in God's memory as my past is in mine. So, I rejoice at every of His promise and prophecy because they are not intentions, they are descriptions.



As I thank God on this my birthday, I also thank people like you that I am honored to know. 

I appreciate all the prayers, calls, messages and well wishes. God bless you profusely.

May those who thought they knew you, begin to marvel at the new you by virtue of what God will do in and through you.

I'm grateful.

DEFINITE AND DEFINING | SEPTEMBER 2018


It is one thing to step into a defining moment and yet another to be aware of it. 

A group of people can be in the same meeting and while one receives an instruction of a lifetime, another may be too distracted to notice.

It pays to pay proper attention to the right instruction(s).

10 Now Jacob went out from Beersheba and went toward Haran. 11 So he came to a certain place and stayed there all night, because the sun had set. And he took one of the stones of that place and put it at his head, and he lay down in that place to sleep. 12 Then he dreamed, and behold, a ladder was set up on the earth, and its top reached to heaven; and there the angels of God were ascending and descending on it. 13 And behold, the Lord stood above it and said: “I am the Lord God of Abraham your father and the God of Isaac; the land on which you lie I will give to you and your descendants. 14 Also your descendants shall be as the dust of the earth; you shall spread abroad to the west and the east, to the north and the south; and in you and in your seed all the families of the earth shall be blessed. 15 Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go, and will bring you back to this land; for I will not leave you until I have done what I have spoken to you.” 16 Then Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, “Surely the Lord is in this place, and I did not know it.” 17 And he was afraid and said, “How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven!” 18 Then Jacob rose early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put at his head, set it up as a pillar, and poured oil on top of it. 19 And he called the name of that place Bethel; but the name of that city had been Luz previously.
Genesis 28:10 – 19




A pregnant woman only knows exactly what her child looks like after delivery; 
to birth, she is asked to push.

A great idea or word of prophecy has to be worked upon to become tangible; 
to B.I.R.T.H, we need to P.U.S.H.

We B.I.R.T.H (Bring Into Reality, Things Hidden) 
when we P.U.S.H (Pray Until Something Happens).

24 Then Jacob was left alone; and a Man wrestled with him until the breaking of day.
25 Now when He saw that He did not prevail against him, He touched the socket of his hip; and the socket of Jacob’s hip was out of joint as He wrestled with him. 
26 And He said, “Let Me go, for the day breaks.” But he said, “I will not let You go unless You bless me!” 
27 So He said to him, “What is your name?” He said, “Jacob.” 
28 And He said, “Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel; for you have struggled with God and with men, and have prevailed.”
Genesis 32:24-28

3 And they said to him, “Thus says Hezekiah: ‘This day is a day of trouble and rebuke and blasphemy; for the children have come to birth, but there is no strength to bring them forth.
Isaiah 37:3

19 For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God.
Romans 8:19


ALTITUDE OF GRATITUDE
Father, thank you for the ninth month of the year 2018 and the beginning of the best months of this year.
(Ecclesiastes 8:7)

Father, thank you for the victories I have won this year especially the many in which I didn’t need to fight.
(Exodus 14:14, 2 Chronicles 20:17)

Father, thank you for the finisher’s anointing to end this year with a big bang of glory.
(Psalm 65:11, 1st Thessalonians 5:24)


DECLARATIONS
In this season, I am alert to definite encounters and defining moments. 
My heavens are open and I have angelic assistance. I shall see greater things. 
This shall be my month of beautiful transformation; I fly in areas I once crawled.
I enjoy a fresh release of ideas; brainchildren that announce their own arrival, bringing favour, honour and distinction to me.
My life and destiny will continue to speak in distinct and unmistakable volumes from this month on because my God is a Promise Keeper.
I receive solutions to long standing challenges, showers of answered prayers and testimonies.
This will be a September to remember.

God Bless You.

KURT CARR'S I BELIEVE GOD BY ROMOKE MARTINS





Dedicated To All Those Born this Month!

_____________________________________________________

FROM THE ARCHIVES

It's Morphing Time | September 2014
Excerpt: The caterpillar’s main job is to eat…and it’s rather picky on its choice...as it's said, “you are what you eat”…
The caterpillar has to molt several times on its journey to becoming a butterfly…it lets go of the old to embrace the new…
When it’s time to change into an adult, most caterpillars begin to wander away from what they’ve been eating…
The once crawling and eating insect, is transformed into a gorgeous flying insect…what was eaten plays a part...
May this be a month of BEAUTIFUL TRANSFORMATION indeed as you begin to FLY in areas you once crawled.
May this be one September you'll remember for good!

Time to B.I.R.T.H | September 2015
Excerpt: By the ninth month, though unseen, the baby in the womb announces her presence in no covert manner...
As the delivery date draws near, we anticipate the arrival of the bundle of joy...
In the process of time, the baby grows from the invisible to the tangible...
The mother endures a great deal as her body changes to accommodate the growth within her.
As it were, the gentleman offering his seat to the enceinte shows courtesy to her... and honor to the unborn and unseen child...
While in the womb, the child announces her presence; at delivery, she heralds her arrival.
After delivery, the one once called "pregnant" is rightly called "mother"
Seems to me, as it is for the born child, so should be for the brainchild...
May this ninth month be the beginning of a fresh release of ideas; brainchildren that announce their own arrival; bringing favor, honor and distinction to you.
May the grace to Bring Into Reality, Things Hidden (B.I.R.T.H) be yours this month on.

Worth The Wait | September 2016
Excerpt: A new born baby delivered at the ninth month is the “adult” form of a fetus.
Were the fetus to exit the womb at the early stages or some months before the time of delivery; it’s mostly termed a miscarriage or premature birth.
Regardless of how long the parents may have waited to have a baby, once pregnant, the mother has to go through the nine-month process.
The pain and rigour of both the pregnancy and delivery process pales into insignificance at the arrival of the newly born.
The initial cry of a newborn baby is more of an announcement of a miracle than an expression of pain.
A baby that arrives silent from the womb is a cause for concern…
Like a child born in due season, may your life and destiny continue to speak in distinct and unmistakable volumes from this month on.
God is a Promise Keeper. 

SHADOWS OF LIGHT | SEPTEMBER 2017
Excerpt: A shadow is also a proof that light is somewhere around. Looking away from the shadow makes it more likely to see the light.
Labour pains have a lifespan; It's pain that's meant to bring gain.
As it is with light and shadows, may unresolved challenges hitherto; point you in the direction of their solutions.
May every single tear, shed from either your physical or spiritual eyes, in hurt over any matter, become a seed that will return as showers of answered prayers and testimonies in this season.
