Day by Day

Yesterday is gone, tomorrow is uncertain
Today is the first day of the rest of my life
No matter what lies at the other side of the mountain
I will be stronger and poised for the strife
A descendant of Sampson & a heir to David's throne
I say my psalms and my miracles, I don't postpone
I am an amateur but by His grace, I'll live to be a saint
I live by the words of the Father so you call me quaint
Faithfully I tell you ...
Day by Day, I worship the ancient of days
Day by Day, I desire to be His verger
Day by Day, I uphold my maker!


The sweetest words will all be said
The cutest of songs will soon fade away
The loveliest of letters will be written no more
The waves will soon denounce the shores
And the clouds will depart the heavens
The sun will glow dimly across the sky
And the darkest hour will be right before dawn
But I tell you ...
Day by Day, I hope and pray that all will be well
Day by Day, I know my struggles will make me strong
Day by Day, I believe the morning will come with my glory


I am the shadow of love, I fly in company of the dove
I am the hand of Shakespeare, I am the tongue of Paul
I speak with the voice of John the Baptist, the heart of Stephen
I possess the eyes of Samuel and the favor of King David
I am Noah's ark, I am the wisdom of King Solomon
I share the dreams of Joseph at the speed of Usain Bolt
I am the heart of Mother Theresa and the love of Lady Diana
Believe me ...
Day by Day, I share the faith of Abraham
Day by Day, I practice the peace of Uncle Atta
Day by Day, I live the life ordained by GOD!


I am the sun in the sky, the moon at night
I am the eagle that soars high with perfect sight
I am Isaac, the brother of Ishmael
Call me Jacob, the brother of Esau
Yes! I am Abel, the brother of Cain
I am Elisha, the student prophet of Elijah
Call me the Pope of Rome, the center of authority
I am human, I live in the world, a place of reality
Funny but true ...
Day by Day, I yearn for the age of Methuselah
Day by Day, I desire the will of Job
Day by Day, I crave for the Spirit of GOD!


Kindness has passed away, violence is imposed on everyone
Brothers and sisters are evil, friends today are not worth loving
I am burdened with grief and have no one to comfort me
I open my mouth to my soul, I open my heart to my spirit
When good hearts are rapacious, emotions also become cautious
Indeed ...
Day by Day, I wish love will come my way
Day by Day, I make up for my mistakes
Day by Day, I pray for a better day

THE JUICES FLOWING WITHIN

The Dawn is here, Morning will soon appear

Traders to the market, drunks to the beer

Have no evil thoughts my dear friend

for you yourself are without fault

Slowly, the dark clouds will sail away

Just as the sun bids farewell to the day

You will taste the Juices flowing within

Be assured, the sky wont fade away

Smile, hold on to hope and always pray

The Giver of life and eternal love

will visit you from the realms above

And when you go into his presence

Come just as you are, not in pretense

Then you will enjoy the Juices flowing within

Look to the mountains and fountains

Adhere to the echoes of the valleys

Smile as you take a walk along the Nile

Look no further for out of the rivers and streams

Out of your wishes, fantasies and your dreams

You shall see the Juices flowing within

The Juice flowing within

This emotion makes me spin

The feeling that makes me a twin

The kind that sends chill down my skin

I know my last home will be the coffin

But I tell you, the juices flowing within

Will not allow me settle for that is sin.

I am proud of the Juices flowing within me

Yes! I am grateful to the Juice flowing within!

I come to you just as I am seeking you are you are

I may not be the brightest star but I am a soothing scar

All I have to offer is my love, don't turn away please

Stick to me the original, not the 1000 copies

I cant promise you everything because I am rich

But I tell you, the stars above are within my reach

Hold my hand, take my heart never to depart

I present you my all, I offer you the Juices flowing within!

Good Morning

Good morning!

Enough of the lazy sleep

Nothing in life comes cheap

Early to bed, early to rise

Slowly by, time surely flies

Turbulent and brave is a wave

Let hard work be your crave

  Good morning!

Enough of your daring

Do away with the whining

It’s a pleasant time for dinning

Fear not, there is nothing like dying

For in your heart will I go mining

  Good morning!

Enough of the drumming

In spirit, I beseech thee nigh

In togetherness, I hear your sigh

In forgiveness, I see hate die

Yea! A diamond I see your eye

And a tear you make me cry.

   Good morning!

Enough of the cunning.

In me, desires are burning

But there you are churning

Stand still and stop turning

Or a shot will send you running

  *Good morning to you all!

Special SomeOne

When you feel you are stuck,
And you know not what to do,
Remember you have me right here,
U are beautiful, perfectly imperfect
Beauty isn’t skin deep, it's way deeper
Ma dear, U are beautiful deep within & out
You are beautiful although, you may not see
Be yourself, be that special someone!

You are a wonderful person
I like you, both inside & out
A thoughtful, treasured blessing
That's what you are without a doubt.
Indeed, you have touched my being
U have struck a chord deep within me.
Indeed! You are truly my special someone!

I yearn to be right there,
Right there next to you,
To feel you next to me
So U know that am real.
It’s a scary feeling
To need you the way I do
Without ever touching you
I want you to be my special someone!

The sun will surely shine tomorrow
The rain will also end somehow
The stormy winds will calm down
And the earthquakes will die off
All these I can't promise you
But know that I will be around
Yes! I will be here just for you
Just let me be the special someone!

Don’t ever give up on your dreams
Never denounce what lies in your heart
Yes! Don’t ever let go of your bleief
Indeed, the road ahead might be tough
But the answer to that, is not to quit
Fight, press on and you will make it
So today, allow me lend a helping hand
Yes! Let me be the one, your special someone!

You have dried for me a tear or two
You have been true, you have been you
When I was down, your hugs you shared
In so many a way, you have truly cared
I know that I can always count on you
To be there when I need someone
Thank you for being you, the special someone!

ARE YOU JESUS?!

... Why is it that people can’t tell who we are?  Why is it we have to go around telling people that we are a Christian instead of them being able to see Jesus in us?  Why is it people have to ask someone what type of mood we are in before they approach us?  Why is it they don’t want to be around us because of the way we are or the way we act? Why is it they can’t tell us from the world? And why is it that we act so righteous and holy that people have to act a certain way around us?

Ok, that is a lot to ask, but it’s something we all need to think about and pray about. If we claim to know Him, if we claim to have Christ living in us, then we should live, walk and act as He would. Knowing Him and being more like Him is two different things.  The word says devils believe and tremble. I want you to read this story before I get into the newsletter, then you will understand why I am asking you this question ~ ARE YOU JESUS?!

James 2:19 ~ Thou believest that there is one GOD; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and they tremble.

A few years ago, a group of sales reps went to a regional sales convention. They had assured their spouses that they would be home in plenty of time for Friday night's dinner. In their rush, with tickets and cases, one of these reps inadvertently kicked over a table which held a display of apples. Apples flew everywhere. Without stopping or looking back, they all managed to reach the plane in time for their nearly-missed boarding. ALL BUT ONE!!!

He paused, took a deep breath, got in touch with his feelings, and experienced a twinge of compassion for the girl whose apple stand had been overturned. He told his buddies to go on without him, waved good-bye, told one of them to call his wife when they arrived at their home destination and explain his taking a later
flight. Then he returned to the terminal where the apples were all over the terminal floor. He was glad he did.

The 16-year-old girl was totally blind! She was softly crying, tears running down her cheeks in frustration, and at the same time helplessly groping for her spilled produce as the crowd swirled about her; no one stopping and no one to care for her plight. The salesman knelt on the floor with her, gathered up the apples, put them back on the table and helped organize her display. As he did this, he noticed that many of them had become battered and bruised; these he set aside in another basket.

When he had finished, he pulled out his wallet and said to the girl, "Here, please take this $40 for the damage we did. Are you okay?" She nodded through her tears. He continued on with, "I hope we didn't spoil your day too badly." As the salesman started to walk away, the bewildered blind girl called out to him, "Mister...." He paused and turned to look back into those blind eyes. She continued, "Are you Jesus?"

He stopped in mid-stride, and he wondered. Then slowly he made his way to catch the later flight with that question burning and bouncing about in his soul: "Are you Jesus?" Do people mistake you for Jesus? That's our destiny, is it not? To be so much like Jesus that people cannot tell the difference, as we live and interact with a world that is blind to His love, life and grace. If we claim to know Him, we should live, walk and act as He would.

Knowing Him is more than simply quoting Scripture and going to church. It's actually living the Word as life unfolds day to day. Let's be the difference the world needs to see in our day to day interactions! Satan was in Heaven with our Lord, so yes, he knows and he believes; but does that make him more like Jesus?  NO! But, that is the image that we are portraying to many people. I’ve heard (and I know you have too) people say “Well, if being a Christian is like that, then I want no part of it”

Look at how they treat people and they are in church all the time” or “And he is a minister, acting like that?” These same words and behaviors in us are the very things that are causing our fellow man not to want to be a part of fellowship. Being more like Jesus is more than simply quoting scripture and going to church.  It's actually living the Word as life unfolds day to day.  Not just talking about it when you are in church, but being the Word.

I wish you ENOUGH

... this is some thing I want to share with you all. Trust me when I tell you to take time out and read this. Read it to the very last letter. Leave no stone unturned because this is one story that will teach you what more stories never do. I leave you to enjoy the gift embedded in this piece.

 Recently I overheard a mother and daughter in their last moments together at the airport. They had announced the departure. Standing near the security gate, they hugged and the mother said, 'I love you and I wish you enough'. The daughter replied, 'Mom, our life together has been more than enough. Your love is all I ever needed. I wish you enough, too, Mom'.

They kissed and the daughter left. The mother walked over to the window where I was seated. Standing there I could see she wanted and needed to cry. I tried not to intrude on her privacy but she welcomed me in by asking, 'Did you ever say good-bye to someone knowing it would be forever?'.

Yes, I have,' I replied. 'Forgive me for asking, but why is this a forever good-bye?'. I am old and she lives so far away. I have challenges ahead and the reality is - the next trip back will be for my funeral,' she said. 'When you were saying good-bye, I heard you say, 'I wish you enough'. May I ask what that means?

She began to smile. 'That's a wish that has been handed down from other generations. My parents used to say it to everyone'. She paused a moment and looked up as if trying to remember it in detail and she smiled even more. 'When we said, 'I wish you enough', we were wanting the other person to have a life filled with just enough good things to sustain them'. Then turning toward me, she shared the following as if she were reciting it from memory.


♥ I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright no matter how gray the day may appear. 

♥ I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun even more. 

♥ I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive and everlasting
 
♥ I wish you enough pain so that even the smallest of joys in life may appear bigger.

♥ I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.

♥ I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.

♥ I wish you enough hellos to get you through the final good-bye.


She then began to cry and walked away. They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them but then an entire life to forget them.

♦ Only if you wish send this to the people you will never forget and remember to send it back to the person who sent it to you. If you don't send it to anyone it may mean that you are in such a hurry that you have forgotten your friends. take time to live .... to all my friends and loved ones - I WISH YOU ENOUGH

FORGIVE ME

... How many times have you gone wayward? How many times you done the backslide dance? How many times you denounced the very things you know are right? How many times you ignored the thought of you thanking the good LORD above for your life daily? I tell you, we are all guilty as charged. We need to go down on our knees and ask GOD to pardon us. Yes! We ought to fall down and cry unto the LORD saying ~ Father - Forgive me! Forgive me for I have sinned ...

I look at you with hate,
I want to slam you in-between the gates
Hurry! Hurry! let's go jubilate
That is all the world has on its slates
And when I rise to do my body's bidding
You take a stand before me pleading
Thank you for your love everyday
As to why you love me so, I cant say
So forgive me when I go astray
Forgive me when your name I don't proclaim
Yes! Forgive as I bow my head in shame!

You shed your blood on the cross on Calvary
You descend this low so we might have victory
But here we are, causing you misery
From your sides oozed water and blood
You wash my gutter with your mighty flood
Like the thief I spat in your face
But you still prepared for me a place
In the realms above the skies - the heavenly Kingdom
Lord Jesus, forgive me for ma sins
Pardon me and pardon my off-springs
Forgive me for shifting on you the blame
Forgive me Jesus, forgive me in your name

You beckon and I ran away from your presence
You flock me not you keep showing me patience
I laughed when I heard you are like no other
Yet, that was noting to you, not even a bother
You offered me your hand, just so you lead the way
But stubborn me, I turned away saying - wait Sunday
Then you pricked my conscience;
And then I screamed! Father! I have sinned
Hold me, please hold me;
Don't let me whisk away like the passing wind

Forgive me! Forgive me for my wrongs
Forgive me for singing them like songs
Pardon me! Pardon me for my sins
Grant me salvation in life's many wins
Forgive me for being the pig in the mud
Erase my deeds, leave nothing that is bad
I will run the race! I will keep up the pace!
I will look to no other but your divine grace
My gaze will be on your face till I feel your warm embrace
So LORD - forgive me, forgive my ignorance
And deliver me from the devilish circumstance

Forgive me! forgive my iniquities!
I denounced my duties and responsibilities
Forgive me! Forgive my body and soul
I promise to make you my sole aim and goal
Pardon me oh Most gracious and merciful ONE
Pardon my finger that pulls the trigger on the gun
I fornicate and in sin, I celebrate and jubilate
Oh, what a life I have lived in deceit?!
On my knees I go today and I will do so everyday.
My prayer is one and one for all
I sin daily and I fall
So forgive me my LORD and Savior

Forgive me please!
Forgive me for I have sinned
Forgive me Ever Lasting KING.
Amen
