Summer

Summer is the warmest of the four temperate seasons, between spring and autumn. It is marked by the longest days and shortest nights. The Summer solstice is on 21st June, which is the longest day in the year. The summer months, tend to be last June, July, August and September. The colours of summer are lush greens, vibrant blues, pink, golds, red, very colourful, because of the weather being warm, people take advantage of the weather, by going out more, more daytime activity.

The midnight sun is a natural phenomenon occurring in summer months at latitudes north and nearby to the south of the Arctic Circle, and south and nearby to the north of the Antarctic Circle where the sun remains visible at the local midnight. Given fair weather, the sun is visible for a continuous 24 hours, mostly north of the Arctic Circle and south of the Antarctic Circle. The number of days per year with potential midnight sun increases the farther poleward one goes.

There are no permanent human settlements south of the Antarctic Circle, so the countries and territories whose populations experience it are limited to the ones crossed by the Arctic Circle, e.g.. Canada, United States of America (Alaska), Denmark (Greenland), Norway, Sweden, Finland, Russia, and extremities of Iceland. A quarter of Finland's territory lies north of the Arctic Circle and at the country's northernmost point the sun does not set for 73 days during summer. In Svalbard, Norway, the northernmost inhabited region of Europe, there is no sunset from approximately 19 April to 23 August. The extreme sites are the poles where the sun can be continuously visible for a half year.

Because of the sun we have more activity, people tend to be much happier. Summer reminds of the long school holidays, more people who live in the city, either leave the country or go on the annual 'summer holidays'.

Generally it is a fun time for people.

Genesis 8:22

While the earth remains, seed time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.

From this we know that Elohim created the seasons.

Ecclesiastes 3:11

He has made every thing beautiful in his time: also he has set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God makes from the beginning to the end.

The seasons are God's reason for everything to be put its place and order. Everything is done in a particular time or season. Seasons and time effect plant life, God has made every plant according habitat and climate, some plants need heat to grow and thrive, others need cooler temperatures, while some are perfectly happy in cold climate and can withstand frost and ice.

If we look at the beginning of Genesis 1:5

1. In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
2. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
3. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
4. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
5. And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

In verse 2 where the earth was without form and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep, in other words the earth was in chaos, so Elohim brought order to chaos and when we read in later verses, he created the various elements, day, night, the universe, the seasons, the forests, plantation, then he created man. The garden was created and he put man in it.

The same way Elohim likes order, it is the same way we should copy his example, everything he has put in creation for us to observe and take note.

Proverbs 30:24 -28

There be four things which are little upon the earth, but they are exceeding wise:
The ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their meat in the summer;
The conies are but a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the rocks;
The locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of them by bands;
The spider take hold with her hands, and is in kings' palaces.

This shows organisation and the Divine order of things. We can learn a lot for each of the seasons, but we must be open to get knowledge and wisdom and in all our getting we must get understanding.

Spring

Spring is the time of year for renewal, rebirth, it is a transit between between winter and summer. The earth's tilt relative towards the sun. The spring days are close to 12 hours long, with the day length increasing as the season progresses.

In Northern Hempshire countries, the spring months are from March, April and May. Around the 20th March, begins the Spring Equinox, even though many times, it does not feel so, because we have the light, but it is still so bitterly cold.

Spring is seen as a time of growth, renewal of new life, both animal and plant and reborn. It is of great significance that in the Judo/Christian calender, it is Passover, Palm Sunday, Good Friday, Resurrection Sunday (Easter).

Jesus became our Passover Lamb, on Palm Sunday, he entered into Jerusalem as a King, on Good Friday, he was executed as a common criminal. He was humilated for us, he was executed naked. Crucifixion was a very common way of execution. The most famous passages in the bible, is from John 3:16

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotton son, that whosoever believe in him, shall not perish, shall not perish.

He was whipped, he was beaten, And his stripes we are healed. He took on all our sins, so that when he went up to heaven, and his precious blood was put on the mercy seat. At the time of his death, when he said "It is finished", he gave up the ghost and he died. The veil in the Holy of Holies was 3 inches thick was torn down from top to bottom.

Before Jesus's Christ ultimate sacrifice, you could not speak to God, like that. You have to get a priest and you had to get your animal to be sacrificed. After Jesus's death and resurrection on third day (two days after his crucifixion).

You can speak to God anytime, any day, you speak his words, about any situation, you mediate on his words and you will get relevation.

In the midst of your turmolt, you do hear the still small voice.

From my own experience, each time I fast, I always experience toothache. My tooth was annoying me and the week before, we had a miracle and healing service, my tooth was fine, on Easter Sunday, when I went home, my tooth started to annoy me, but the time I got home, it got worse. The pain was unbearable, my muscles was thickening. I took painkillers, washed my mouth out with salt water, and the pain persisted. I kept saying "Lord, your word says By your stripes, I am healed" and the more you are saying your words and more the pain is getting stronger, but I heard a small voice tell me, take a little bit of disinfectant, add some salt and wash your mouth out, the voice even told me where I would find the disinfectant, I did exactly as I was told and I started to get some relief. Then I went downstairs, and took some alcohol, nearly 100%, added water and washed out my mouth, with the few drops of disinfectant, the pain started to decrease, then I put a few drops of Tea Tree oil, which is a another disinfectant, washed my mouth, making sure I did not swallow. I did that for a few days and now the pain and the infection has gone, although I will be still washing out my mouth, and getting work done on my teeth, even though I am eating on the one side, it is much, much, much better, before every time your food, accidentally, went near your infected tooth. You cried from the pain.

I am a testimony, speaking his words, in the midst of the storm and torment, you have to listen to the still small voice and sometimes, because we are so wrapped up in our pain, it is sometimes very difficult to you.

Bless the Lord Oh my soul and all that is within me. Daily shall he be praised, Glory to highest and he shall be praised, until he comes to earth or he take me home!

I hope that everyone had a Happy Easter and the year is turning out to wonderful every day.

Valentine's Day

February 14th is Valentine's Day. It is a day for love, lovers, romance, roses, chocolates. I have noticed that soon after Christmas in over. In January, the Valentine's cards are available. One can argue that it is very commercial, but looking at Valentine's day closely.



The first representation of Saint Valentine appeared in the Nuremberg Chronicle, (1493); alongside the woodcut portrait of Valentine the text states that he was a Roman priest martyred during the reign of Claudius II, known as Claudius Gothicus. He was arrested and imprisoned upon being caught marrying Christian couples and otherwise aiding Christians who were at the time being persecuted by Claudius in Rome. Helping Christians at this time was considered a crime. Claudius took a liking to this prisoner -- until Valentinus tried to convert the Emperor -- whereupon this priest was condemned to death. He was beaten with clubs and stoned; when that didn't finish him, he was beheaded outside the Flaminian Gate. Various dates are given for the martyrdom or martyrdoms: 269, 270, or 273.



The ultimate romantic is Elohim, and who santified marriage and created love and sex to be within the marriage bed. The first marriage was between Adam and Eve. If one reads the Songs of Songs or the Song of Soloman, it is very romantic and it shows the love of a married couple. It is very beautiful, very moving and very touching.



There is nothing wrong with celebrating St Valentine's Day, with the chocolates, flowers or the trip to Paris or a romantic dinner for two, but romance should be in the marriage all the time, not just on February 14th. Husband and wife should have a date night together. Marriage should be for life, and it requires a lot of work, but a lot of enjoyable work. Marriage can be made in heaven.

Happy Valentine's Day

New Year New Beginnings

So far the year has started off very well for me, and I hope and pray that you get all the promises of God.

Autumn

Autumn (Fall) is a wonderful time of year. I love to look at how all the colours of the trees and the sky. How the light changes so suddenly, it is so dramatic. Each season has its own particular magic. Spring is newness and freshness, summer is brightness, hot days and nights, autumn (fall) time of abundance, fullness, harvest and winter stillness, crisp morning and the winter days what I find so wonderful, is when it is very bright, the sun is shinning and it is cold.

Even the fashion for this season autumn (fall) and winter are bright blues, reds, purple.

The first three pictures, I took and the others I found them on the web, pictures of autumn taken by other people recently.

I haven't written much, because I was going through a very difficult time in my personal life. My father was being very difficult and two women at church, let me call them Jane and Rochelle, I found them to be very deceptive and deceitful.

My father is elderly and he is disabled and yet he feels he must humiliate me. I found that many family members know how he behaves and yet they would not give me any support.

Anyway, I decided to sow a double tithe, and I talked to God to deal with this problem for me.

The support planner came, my father didn't tell me anything about him, he talked with my father about attending church and my father called me to talk to him and I asked him find out the different department that could help my father, my father said quickly, he doesn't need help and I told the planner I need all the help, he agreed and he gave me his telephone number. My cousin and I went to social services and they are aware of him and his behaviour and they are now writing a report, they are putting a care plan in action for him, even though he is still being difficult, a higher authority has taken over. Everything moved so quickly, clearly God's hand is involved here.

Since I have been going to my church, I have learn to see through my father's lies and mind games and I have been able to distance myself from him.

At church, I met two women who I thought were very nice people. I realise that both are professional Lots, they only want to hang on to you, so that you can get information for them. Jane picked up the fact that I was having a difficult time, and instead of having kind words, she was a gossip and she would accuse me of not recognising her worth, remarks like 'Look how I have spoken into your life', it was good to meet her, but now she is very deceptive.

As for Rochelle, she was always wanted to see me, because I could tell her what scriptures to read. Few weeks ago, I experience her cold attitude towards me like she never knew me, she is very deceitful. God pointed out their behaviour to me.

I was very hurt and I asked God to bless them, but I don't want to see them again in church, if they are there, I asked that I don't see them, sometimes Jane would email me, and I would email her back, but I don't want to have anything to do with her anymore. Both of them, I have cut out of my life.

I realise that I don't need Lots in my life. I have been listening to confessions from our man of God, the cd plays all the time and I used to go to bible class every Wednesday, but the Holy Spirit lead me to 'take a break'. I find that I now get up in the early hours of the morning, do praise and worship. I hear his voice more clearly now, it is a voice of excitement, 'you can do it'. 'Great things can happen for you'. I am now more at peace with myself. So many things are being revealed to me and I am in a good place thanks to Jesus. May the Lord be praised.

Psalm 35:37

Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause yea, let them say continually, Let the Lord be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.

Marriage

We are now in the month of June and traditionally most marriages take place in this month, especially if you live in Europe, America, Canada and Russia, one of the main reasons being that the weather is a lot warmer. Lot of brides want to be June brides. Due to the new covenant, that we have with Jesus the anointed one of God, marriage is available to everyone, if they want to be married. Marriage is not to make to couple whole or complete, or finish each other. Marriage must be sane, level-headed and sensible people.

Before you get married, you must know why you want to get married and do you really want to be married in the first place. Marriage takes a lot of time and lot of work and energy however this work should be enjoyable. Marriage needs passion, romance to keep it exciting. You still need to go out on dates and your marriage bedroom, should be for you and your husband, not your children, or your mother, you best mates to see it, your marriage bed should be for you, your husband or wife and God. Your marriage bedroom is sacred. You should not have a television in your marriage bedroom. Maybe your laptop, if you need to work, and only a radio, nothing else, because you have to concentrate on each other, physically, mentally and spiritually and it is for you to make love to your spouse.

Passion never dies, you should be still be passionate for each other, I would say even more, men who have passion for computers and trains or women for shoes, and makeup, even when they reach eighty years old, never lose their passion, but we expect people to lose their passion for each other, because they age.

A lot of people call for a relationship and when one person shows enthusiasm and wants to spend more time with them, seeing them three or four times, suddenly the other person thinks they need to breathe. Then you need to ask yourself, do you want a relationship which will lead to marriage, or do you want a boyfriend or girlfriend for sex.

When you decide that you want to get married, you need to pray and ask for guidance, have a heart to heart conversation with God, not your pastor, he can't help you, but with God himself, you have to talk to God, you have to go to the throne room and talk to God, you make a list of the characteristics, which are important to you, and pray them in your spouse, by thanking God that my husband is a gentle and kind man, pray characteristics for yourself, 'Thank you God for making me such a loving wife, because too many times, we want this and that in our life partners and what about us.

There are comments that people say that people show not make lists, this is an absolute lie, and complete and utter rubbish, when you go shopping, you have a shopping list in your head, when you go to buy a house, you have the idea of what kind of house, you want. There are features that are most important to you, when you buy a car the same thing. When we travel on plane or train, you travel bound for the destination, it is no good going on a plane bound for South Africa and you want to go to Europe. The plane is going to its specific destination and if children are important to you, be with a man, who wants children, don't be with someone, who doesn't want children and then hope that you will change their mind. Same way with a believer, if he is a non-believer, don't think you can save him, pray for him yes and God will look into his heart, you concentrate on being with someone who is a believer.

Do you have a vision for your life, can you actually see yourself married with children.

Also attend churches where the men and women of God are specified anointed to preach and teach the word of God and ask God to put you in the right church. This is extremely important.

God does not change his method of doing things, he may adapt to the modern world, he may talk to you through the computer, and why shouldn't he, he designed them. He anoints the men and women of God and the anointing goes from the head to the congregation. There are many people, who are in the wrong church, some may be full, because 'pastor preach good', but are they teaching the word of God and how are you using it in your life. Have you seen significant changes since you have been going to the church or Christian centre. If you have not, you need to leave the church fast.

In Malachi 3:10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall be room enough to receive it.

A tithe is the first ten percent of your income. Your tithe looks after the church, the building, the media resources etc, so that you can be an effective ambassador for Christ. When you tithe you are acknowledging El Shaddai - God Almighty as your source of all, he can provide for you, when you tithe, you open yourself to Divine Favour and blessings of all kinds. When you tithe, on your envelope, you should put what you want in your life and get scriptures for it, as you want to be married, you put on the envelope for my successful marriage and let the Holy Ghost teach you how to be a wife, or a husband, some of us learn our bad marriages from our parents, the Holy Ghost is the right person for the job, and he can teach you.

Reading Proverbs 31, Ruth, Esther, Deborah and Judith. Judith, you will find in the Jerusalem Bible. Read Peter, Joseph, he was an excellent husband, Daniel, although he did not get married, he was very wise. Proverbs 3:5, read the chapters concerning Jesus, how he was caring and very wise, look particularly how he treated women, especially prostitutes, in his ministry, he had a lot of ladies, who were members of his congregation.

Those pastors, who say that you must sit and wait on God, that he will send you a wife or a husband. No God does do that, you have to get yourself out there to meet your husband or wife. Ruth had to travel to meet Boaz, Esther had to take part in the beauty competition. After your wife and husband training, you make yourself attractive, lose weight if you need to, you have to be a delight to your husbands or wives eyes. You have to let your husband and wife to be see you in their dreams, you see him, you pray for them, where ever they are and when the time is right, God will bring them to you.

Marriage scriptures

Genesis 2:24, Psalm 128:3, Proverbs 18:22, Proverbs 31:11-12, Song of Solomon (showing how marriage, should be), 1 Corinthians 7:14, Ephesians 5:25, 28, 31. God does not care where your husband comes from as long as you are equally yoked.

Other inspiring women of God, where Abigail, she was wise, of good understanding as the bible refers to her 1 Samuel 25:2-43, The Shunamite woman 2 Kings 8 -37.

Tis the Month of May

The month of May, being the five month of the year. The number five represents favour. So it is a month of unexpected favour. It seems to be a time, where a lot of celebrations are held. May Day celebration in the United Kingdom is the first Monday in May, or Labour Day in many countries, such as USA, Canada. The symbols of May is the May flower, lily of the valley and the emerald, which means success or love and the rose Rosa chinensis.

The weather so far, has been wonderful, sunny bright and warm.

Prayer for May

Heavenly Father, that you for this wonderful month, full of joy, excitement and expectation. We expect supernatural and divine favour from 1st to 31st of May, we thank you in Jesus Name.
