AM BACK!!!!
After listening to the sermon on Sunday that actually left me feeling squeaky clean in Christ JESUS... I have no sin!!!
I can say that telling from the story of the PRODIGAL SON.. Christians have decided to accept that they were the son that went away and when he (REPENTED) had a change of heart, he decided to return as a SERVANT and not a SON.
GOD has restored us to SON-SHIP and yet we keep screaming out that we just wanna be SERVANTS.
CAN any parent out there tell me how Irritating that is?
I remember i had a pair of old sneakers that I loved so much and what I never understood was why my mother always threw a feat because i did not wear the expensive shoes that had bought me on one of her business trips overseas....
ANY THOUGHTS!!

I WANT ALL THESE THINGS!!!!
Friends, This morning i got up just before five, thanks to the mosquitoes that thought I have the tastiest blood ever.
Well, I believe that God wants us to fellowship with him every minute of our lives... he really LOVES US that much!
I have been trying to make more meaning of my life and what that higher calling God has called me to is.... The service i am called to that is bigger than the sum of all my individual ambitions.
Then this SCRIPTURE came to me:
SEEK FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND ALL THESE THINGS SHALL BE ADDED ON TO YOU.(MATT 5:33)
So what do I do to get all these things added to me?
1. SEEK - Means to Pursuit, Learn, Understand, Explore, study.
2. FIRST - Before any thing else.
3. KINGDOM of GOD - Area of influence of the KING (in this case GOD)or be under the dominion of GOD.
The first 3 things mean that you and I should look for God's dominion in our lives before anything else and our search should be a pursuit, hunt, exploration, study... something that we HUNGER for
(Blessed are those that hunger and thirst for theirs is the KINGDOM of GOD)
4. RIGHTEOUSNESS - Being in right standing with God, following the kingdom principles and protocol.
5. ALL THESE THINGS - The things that we always struggle for, Food, shelter, clothing, love, car, etc!!!!!!!
I wanna get ALL these things!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR FRIENDS
I bless God for you friends and congratulate you upon making it to this side of 2008.
2009 started in a special way for me... I was in the car park of KPC jumping like a crazy monkey, thanks to the worship that made me feel like i was in heaven. With me was a special person... the girl i call my girlfriend.
I carried a note book and a pen with me and during the worship, wrote down what was on my heart. THIS IS WHAT I WROTE:
2009: the year of GROWTH in the 9th Dimension.
I have been struggling with the 8 areas of my life that we all deem vital, But a word from God came in and said this is the year of growth in the 9th dimension.
What do I mean? I have all along had PROJECTIONS and bench marks on where i would want to be in; 1.FINANCE, 2.FAMILY, 3.FAITH, 4.FIRM, 5.FRIENDS, 6.FITNESS, 7.ROMANCE, 8.INTELLECTUAL.
ENTER CAMP09.
On the 6th of Jan, I set off for camp in Kabanyoro-Gayaza at 8:00pm because the office could not release me earlier. I was the last guy in and had supper on my own. I have learned to be expectant and boy it is powerful when you are expectant.
The camp theme was " I have nothing if I don't have you"
The first preacher dismantled my projections apart and confirmed what God had said to me on the 1st. Growth is in the 9th dimension and that meant that GOD's dynamics were supernatural and off my scale of 8 factors measured on a continuum of 8 points.
Those that wanna know what the rest of the message was... ASK

WHEN SONGS SPEAK VOLUMES
I never expected the month of November to put a spring in my DECEMBER!!!
Thank you JESUS.
I just wanna share some lyrics from the HEART and SOUL album of 1995 by the WINANS
When I first made you my choice, my heart was glad, my soul rejoiced.
NOW, tell me how long has it been, since I let you know exactly how I feel.
I must apologise, time has slipped away and I didn't realise.
Give me JUST HALF a CHANCE, and I'll Show the the WORLD how to LOVE with my heart and soul.
Deep... eehhighh?
WORLD!!

THE 7 DOORS OF OPPORTUNITY:
A statement to the effect that opportunity is best ceased by the prepared was made by a friend and I could not agree more. Here are the doors of opportunity that lead up to the room that holds our blessing.
The OPEN door:
These doors are wide open and we can clearly see the blessing that is on the other side of the room. One does not need to do much but just walk through these doors.
The SHUT Door:
The blessing on the other side of this door is not accessed by simply walking though and taking it, but a little effort in opening this door is required, the judgement to whether it is a Push or Pull and on which side the hinges revolve. A story is told of a psychologist that switched the positioning of the knob, placing it on the side that is hinged and 7 out of 10 people did not think of pushing the other side of the door to get it and concluded the room was inaccessible.
The CLOSED Door:
This is really self-explanatory; accessing the room that this door leads to is only for those that have a KEY. That is appropriate for opening this door. Some keys are transferable like the normal “YALE/UNION” keys, electronic Swipe cards, PIN Numbers and other keys are biometric and non transferable. Your DNA, eye-ris scan or thumbprint is the only key. For instance the places that the Kabaka Mutebi accesses that not anyone can access is because he possesses the right DNA to have the authority to get those doors opened.
The SLIDING Door:
A personal story goes like this, at one of the stations in London, I was embarrassed when I struggled to open a beverage dispenser which unlike the most had a sliding door. After I slotted my money for a drink, it was dispensed and the fight to reach it was short-lived thanks to a Good Samaritan who showed me how it was done. (Asking is not bad after all)
The REVOLVING Door:
These doors require a level of patience and one has to study their pace and adjust to it otherwise there is a chance of failing to enter or continuously rotating with the door instead of accessing the room that bares your blessing.
The AUTOMATIC Door.
This certainly brings your mind to communications house. What you have to show is intent to enter and the door will detect that you are close and open. Imagine standing at Backlines house and declaring that Communications house is inaccessible. Unfortunately that is what happens in most of our lives. We are quick to render situations IMPOSSIBLE.
The ABSENT Door:
This door exists only if you create it. Some of our blessings are contained in Cuboids like rooms without any access and we need to put the HOLE in the wall. This door will require a PEEK AXE, “Nsuluulu” and some spit on both palms and sweat on the brow before access is granted.
The rooms that contain our blessings actually have doors for our good. It is to keep the baddies from our goodies as SOKANYOLYA security systems tell their prospects. If it is financial blessing you are after, please do not despise that job, it is not the blessing it is the DOOR !!!

I HAVE STOPPED TITHING!!!
My friend, after a week that saw me find something worth more than rubbies, I received a sermon that opened my eyes to another dimension. This is a break down of that sermon that made me stop tithing
1. I owe God nothing, I have no debt because it was all paid at the cross.
2. All that I have belongs to God
3. The tithe is part of the old covenant but we live under the new one.
At this point I see you cringing at my comments and even thinking i need help.
If God owns all you have then i don't think when it comes to giving you will start to compute how much to return to HIM.
Anyway, GOD loves a cheerful giver.
NOW I DON'T HAVE TO SUBJECT GOD TO THE CALCULATOR MULTIPLYING HIS STUFF BY 0.1 AND FEELING GOOD ABOUT IT!!
I feel like 100% that's what its gonna be!!
Please don't miss understand me but... if it is more than 10% it is not a tithe... Let him that has a brain think about why I stopped tithing!!

THE POWER OF WE!!
When Obama borrowed the slogan "Yes, We Can" translated from latin (Si Se Puede) used in 1972 by the United Farm Workers under Cesar Chavez. It was more than words.... It was an attitude that dispelled UNILATERALISM and embraced team work, unity and a sense of SHARED vision.
GUYS.... i know some of you are going.... WAAAAAA!!!
Remember that through CHRIST JESUS... Si Se Puede!!

CURIOCITY BROUGHT ME A WORD
I drove in my "new" car this morning and parked at the spot i deemed fit for my car... remember, this was early in the morning and I had the chance to look at options.
So... I walked towards office but noticed a group of ladies and gents enter a hall that seemed like it was ready for a 7 O'clock show.
I decided to go in and probe and found it was a service by this time i could here worship music.
Well.. Went in and had a time of prayer.. then the word dropped.
GO EAST!!
That is where the WISE MEN came from,
JOB was a man of the east
The sun rises from the east
WOW!!
If some one is planning a trip, think first!!
2 Kings 13:14 - 21
ANALYSE THAT!!

SEEK FIRST.....
My friends,
This morning i got up thinking... how am i doing on my targets for this year.
It is exactly 7months since i left the United Kingdom to return home and set up a base and the word base in this case is as broad as you like.
after all the hustle and the ups and downs the past 7 months have brought... I looked at my vision board and felt like i had not done much. But as I continued to meditate on the goodness of our father it all came to light.
How much of the KINGDOM have i sought the past 7 months.... and His righteousness.
Well, the answer my friends gave me an insight of how much indeed.
I throw this back to you. How much do you think you could have done that hasn't been done yet? That is the deficit you have as a kingdom seeker.
I hope to share with you on the coming wealth transfer and how we must position our selves to be millionaires for GOD.
YES WE CAN!!
Blessings

ALIVE and KICKING
Friends,
It has been a while since i dropped my thoughts on this blog.
I have some confessions to make:
I hit a spiritual law and needed to get ma GROOVE back.... what caused it?
a mix of not reading enough of the word and too much work.
HOWEVER... I am here to say, God is great and wants us to be that, just US.
Liberated and redeemed from the cares of this world.
I'll hit you with some thoughts when i return tomorrow!!
Bless

THANK YOU AMERICA!!
I thank you,
Great leaders are born in humble places and their path to their
palace is one that leaves the citizen regarded as the least by many
with HOPE that their voice will be heard by the king.
Must I add that their MOTHERS are women of great FAITH and determination
who beat the odds to get their sons a head start.
Christ in a MANGER
Moses in Egypt, lay in bushels
My dad was born in a courtyard!
I celebrate OBAMA's VICTORY for MOMS out there!!

A STORY OFTEN EDITED-OUT.
When Mary was told that she was to have a child conceived in the most unexplained way.... she had the faith to accept it as it would be.
ABOUT MARY:
Imagine a sweet 17 year old minding her business... dating a guy with looks like mine and a heart of gold, well, one like err... mine. (let's talk about Mary first.)
So Mary is in a courtship with a guy to "die" for and she has to break his heart with the news that she was PREGNANT.(that's a hard paper!)
ABOUT JOSEPH:
With the looks that we described and that kind of heart Joseph was a descent guy. The bible says he was thinking of 'honorably' dumping Mary. Now that's a guy of INTEGRITY.
How many guys would swallow their pride and go on with the wedding. remember he had not said I DO just yet. Well, that was also faith in action!
ABOUT JESUS:
We forget that Jesus had to discover who he was....
Do you ever see Jesus as the boy that the village gossip ever excluded in their vibe.
Do you see Jesus as the guy the bully tried to oppress with talk about his conception.
I hate to imagine the insults that must have flown from the people that did not like his guts. Trust me if we have those today, they were here at the time of Jesus.
We hear no account of what happened in the life of JESUS because just like today the press were looking for a story with scandal but He was above that... He goes undetected but noticeable until he is 12 and blows the scribes away with the level of understanding of the scriptures.
He read scripture and possibly listen to his uncles and aunties... it must have struck him early that even though he was a carpenters' son he has a man in his Lineage that made him ROYAL, his forefather DAVID.(I bet this sent Jesus to the scriptures until ADAM)I bet when he read that from the womb of the WOMAN shall come one who would crash the devil... Lights were switched on for him.
Well after that incident at 12yrs the bible says he went and lived in obedience... we don't hear about him till he is READY to RAMBLE!!!!
FRIENDS... U think you have issues? JESUS is the ANSWER!

WHY THE SON OF DAVID? :- A BLESSING TO ERASE A CURSE.
1 KINGS 9:
Solomon builds a temple and does all he had ever desired. Putting the Name of GOD on it and praying for God to dwell in it, God hears him and approves it.God is all knowing and looks at Solomon and tells him to keep things as they are. "Remain a guy of Integrity and I will reside here." Infact, as Solomon's father had been promised that... he would have a son on the throne of Israel forever.
God goes ahead to assure Solomon that not sticking to his part of the bargain would mean Him leaving the temple. In fact God tells Solomon what people will say about the temple after the Lord has departed... " A symbol of RIDICULE"...
I don't know what you think but, i think that that's a CURSE waiting to happen.
Fast forward to 1 kings 10 when the gorgeous queen of Sheba visits and we know what happens.(The curse is evoked and the God departs the temple and it becomes a symbol of ridicule.)
REMEMBER AT THIS POINT GOD HAS BLESSED DAVID, SOLOMON and the GENERATION TO COME BUT THE GUY HAS JUST EVOKED A CURSE!!
1 CHRONICLES 17
This is where the promise to David is made through the prophet Nathan. Just look at the wordings in these verses...
verse 4: "Go and tell David that the Lord says that he isn't the one going to build the temple (Permanent place of God's residence)" God was living among them in their tents and moved with them.
The promise in 1CHRO 17: 11-14
From the above text, God had made a long term generational commitment to DAVID that Solomon tried to fulfill by building the temple. However the temple the lord was after was one in the integrity of heart and not the one of wood and stone.
This is ULTIMATELY why JESUS is born into the LINEAGE of DAVID.
To fulfill the written word and the promise of GOD in 1CHRON 17:12-14.(READ IT PLEASE)
JESUS is the SON OF DAVID (who always sits on the throne) THE BLESSING that ERASED the CURSE. If you abide in CHRIST, no one will ridicule you for your past... "THERE IS NO CONDEMNATION for THOSE in CHRIST JESUS"
I hope I haven't attempted to be THEOLOGICAL!!

CHURCH IS BUSINESS: get used to it!
I am writing this blog for that “spiritual” individual who thinks church is what happens on Sunday morning. Also to that conservative Christian who sees business as “financial politics”, and as many have put it, politics is a dirty game. Please be Christ like and make church your business.
LUKE 2: Christ declares to his mother and those that had come looking for him after pulling a disappearing act at the temple. Only aged 12 he says. “ How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business?” KJV.
I know some translations will say house and not business, but we agree that only the father’s business can happen in the father’s house.
If your church fellowship is not a business then your pastor/head has not yet sold the vision of the church to you. Matter of fact you are not paying your tithe and giving your offering in full knowledge of the cause (why you belong).
A tithe is a “MANDATORY TAX” I will call it PAYE (pay as you earn) that is meant to go to the business projects of your home church called “MINISTRIES”. For instance, the church where I fellowship recently had a ministry fair and all these areas or projects better known as S.B.U’s (Strategic Business Units) were exhibited. This was to show where the investment of the shareholders (members) goes.
MALACHI 3: Not paying the tithe into these business units through the church fellowship (BUSINESS) is robbery.
With all this done, the church is in the business of TRANSFORMING LIVES of individuals thereby touching communities and healing nations. If you think church is not a business that demands loyalty, accountability and leadership you are blindly walking into a building on Sunday and paying your tithe and offering out of guilt…. I did this for some time so I know.
REMEMBER GOD LOVES A CHEERFUL GIVER!!

If your church fellowship is not a business then your pastor/head has not yet sold the vision of the church to you. Matter of fact you are not paying your tithe and giving your offering in full knowledge of the cause (why you belong).
A tithe is a “MANDATORY TAX” I will call it PAYE (pay as you earn) that is meant to go to the business projects of your home church called “MINISTRIES”. For instance, the church where I fellowship recently had a ministry fair and all these areas or projects better known as S.B.U’s (Strategic Business Units) were exhibited. This was to show where the investment of the shareholders (members) goes.
MALACHI 3: Not paying the tithe into these business units through the church fellowship (BUSINESS) is robbery.
With all this done, the church is in the business of TRANSFORMING LIVES of individuals thereby touching communities and healing nations. If you think church is not a business that demands loyalty, accountability and leadership you are blindly walking into a building on Sunday and paying your tithe and offering out of guilt…. I did this for some time so I know.
REMEMBER GOD LOVES A CHEERFUL GIVER!!

WHY YOU NEED TO READ THE BOOK OF GENESIS AGAIN
I am more convinced than ever before that in order to unlock some of the mysteries in the bible, you have to read the book of GENESIS again. Here is one of the many reasons.
GENESIS is the word that gives birth to the word GENE from which we get the word GENEALOGY and science agrees that this is the FABRIC of humanity.
Humanity needs not fear the devil and this we can see from our genealogy. In genesis, we see that the devil and his schemes are meant to be as far away from us as possible. The devil was declared a vagabond and illegal to take habitation in our lives, here is the proof.
MATHEW 6:9-13 is the lords’ prayer. Emphasis on verse 10.
The will of God being done on earth as it is in heaven. Literally means that our BODIES (made from the earth) need to be conformed to the will of the father. Remember, “If my people, called by name…” Yes, He shall heal your FLESH… made from the earth (Land/earth/soil )Gen 2:7.
But if the Spirit of him who raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised up Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you. [Romans 8;11]
The consequences of the BLOOD were first shown in GEN:4: 8-14.
When Cain kills Abel, the power of the blood of the righteous of God is actually spelled out right there by GOD Himself. The punishment spelled to Cain was not for the Cain the man, but for the spirit behind the actions of Cain.
The Spirit of Cain is declared, “vagabond” and is not supposed to be anywhere in near the sons of God. I say it is the spirit of Cain because God protects Cain the man by assuring him that no one would actually kill him.
Fast forward to Mathew 27:32-44:
When the blood of Christ is shed, it is shed for us all…. This means that the devil actually killed you and me and our blood was spilled and sent the same message to God like that of Abel. (I hope you get this thing people.)
“Your” blood has been spilled coz you are DEAD in CHRIST! (gimme a HALLELUJAH!!)
OK… I am about to stand up at this point! Listen to what God is telling the devil on this matter conserning our health, wealth, family, relationships…
Gen: 4:10- God said, "What have you done? “ How dare you touch Ariho,…. This is where you put your name!
"I will do this thing also that you have spoken; for you have found favor in my sight, and I know you by name."
[Exodus 33;17]

THE SERMON I NEVER GAVE.
September to remember.... oh yes!!
Friends, I had prepared sermons and rehearsed the delivery but it all fell flat on its face.
I was in the car really composing myself and asking God for the grace when something dropped in my spirit.
The sermon that you shall preach shall not be about you but about ME.I want to say that Our God is a God of order, however, I was nervous and all over the place.
I had blogged my sermons: The one about temptation.
Anyway some things to note.
1. The blood of Christ was so deep as i opened the scriptures and the saving power that it has. On my spirit was JUST one Soul that I believe i was assigned to... and it did happen. One man gave his life to Christ.
2. It was good to have my dad over in the service especially that he was upcountry and had travelled back late.
3. I also led praise with my father, with him on the vocals and myself on the guitar.
I have decided to actually start preaching sermons and recording them for myself to teach myself.
Overall how did i do? (Sheepishly smiling)... preaching with the keyboard is different to talking to 500 blinking eyes!!!
BLESS.
