Gratitude.

Today,dear reader,wordcompany takes form as a person with emotion,plagued with the same challanges that beset every man.With a deep sense of gratitude to the author of the universe,I can not help but reflect on my life as I have lived it thus far.
This morning I was in an auto crash which left several of us wounded.I however escaped without harm even though I was sitting in front,just behind the driver.It so happened that the driver had an epileptic siezure while driving and lost control of the vehicle as a result.With one very swift sweep of 180 degrees,we saw our selves colliding with the pavement of concrete along Lekki Epe express way.I was on my way to work.
Sitting back in my office with a disconsolate disposition,I can not help but beat myself  up over how much I should have done for my generation,that is still undone.I came out without harm but I have not stopped asking myself if I deserve such degree of mercy-I have not been as faithful to God and to purpose lately.
It is wisdom to judge myself.If today was my last day,what would I have told my maker?
I write this to say I am eternally grateful.Every little thing I have taken for granted popped to the surface to butress the fact that the my very existence is as divinely influenced as my escape from destruction this morning.

Heavenly Father,I put this for the world to see,Your faithfulness and loving kindness,
I thank you for my life,for preservation,
I have not thanked you enough,I doubt if I ever will be able to thank you enough
Not in one life time.
I do not take the blood sacrifice of Your son Jesus for granted.
Forgive me for ever taking my election and adoption in Christ for granted.
This (what happened today) to me is a warning and I will heed it promptly
This day you have shown me love,
with Your strong arm and outstretched hand You have delivered me.
I will sing your praise forever and declare your councel to the ends of the earth.
Indeed I am not perfect by a long shot but I want to live for you
I ask,Heavenly father,that you help me to grow.
More of you is all I desire...In Jesus' name I pray and give thanks.

If you have been inspired,I want you to take a minute and say a heart felt thank-you to the God of gods.

The Grace of Our Lord Jesus, the love of God and communion with the Spirit

On the Grace of our Lord, the Father's love and the communion of the Spirit in the life of the Believer. 2Cor 13:14 is a portion of Scripture quoted so often in church that the mention of it brings closing of service or benediction to mind. In this portion of Scripture which indeed is a prayer, is hidden an eternally powerful truth. It is my confidence that the Spirit of God by the will of God will shed light on our spirits as we seek the light of this truth, embrace it and apply it daily in our walk with God. It says "the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Love of God and the sweet fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all". What a prayer! First it is seen in this prayer, THE WORD, THE FATHER and THE SPIRIT. Once upon a time, in the beginning of time, there was a convocation and in that meeting, Elohim, was there with The Logos and His Pneuma, and the result was creation. What if there is a creative mystery embedded in this prayer in the life of a believer? What ...

Thankful Thinking and Thanksgiving

I have a thought to share this morning. It is on the Thankful thinking and Thanksgiving.  One book of the Bible I really love is the Psalms. I love it because I can identify with it. It is a picture of the relationship between humanness and divinity, insufficiency and all-suffifiency, fallibility and grace. It is a picture of us and God, us swallowed in as we are, in His accommodating grace. David, expresses the principle of the success of this relationship in faith (conviction), trust and absolute dependence.  Thanks flows from a mind that acknowledges provision from a posture of dependence. Paul said we have no bragging rights because there is nothing we have that we have not received (1 Co 4:7). Our ingratitude therefore comes from our ignorance of our plant-to-soil kind of relationship with divinity as set forth by the law of creation: no creature is independent of its creator, every creature draws sustenance from its creator, the creator is source and sustainer of...

Test of Vision and Purpose.

What is Vision? VISION IS A MENTAL PICTURE OF A PREFERABLE FUTURE. It is the ability to see the end of a thing before the beginning. In Gen 1:26, God made male and female in his own image and likeness (all of this was in God's vision, these things were not yet in the physical, they were in the mental realm). In Gen 2, we begin to see how God actually carried out his mission to translate his vision into reality. I prophesy into your life that your dream will not die. If you can dream it, you can achieve it. We see how that there had to be a man to till the earth before seed could grow. What about the man in Genesis 1? He was in the vision realm then. God had to put adam into a deep sleep to produce Eve. What happened to the male and female in Genesis 1? Genesis chapter 1 is an account of the mental picture of the God of all creation, Genesis 2 shows us the process. God created time so that the things in the spritual can pass through the proess of manifestation. Every thing in the ...
