He is...

He is big
He is strong
He is mighty
He saves

He is bigger than all else
He is the strongest in existence
He's not just mighty, He's almighty
Can you guess who He is?

He heals
He sooths
He calms
He reassures
He consoles
He does all that and more

Have you guessed who He is yet?
He will be whatever anyone wants Him to be
He 'll do whatever anyone needs Him to do
He'll even supply all of our needs according to His riches in glory
Still don't know who He is yet?

He is the rock of ages
He is the shelter in a storm
He is the bridge over troubled waters
He is the answer to all questions
He's the solution to all problems
Still haven't guessed yet?

Well He is the GREAT I AM
For he says, "I AM THAT I AM!"

O How You Love Me

O how You love me
You left your home in glory for me
You came to dwell among men for me
You grew in wisdom and stature and in favor with men for me

You showed me how to live among others
You lived Your life by example and was not a bother
You came to seek and to save the lost
You girt Yourself with a towel showing You were no boss

You gave your life on a cross for me
You said for this cause You came in the world, just for me
You died there on that cross but You rose again
And proclaimed You had all power from everywhere gained

O how You Love me
O how You loved me
You came to earth, You lived, And died for me
O how You truly, truly loved me.

Lord Hear Our Prayer

For the purpose You created us
Knowing us before we came into existence
Giving us a name which shapes our destiny
We thank you for revelation knowledge
Lord hear our prayer

For teaching and admonishing us
Letting us know we should be trained up in the way we should go
So that when we are older we will not depart from it
Teaching parents to not provoke the children to wrath
Lord hear our prayer

You created Your children to destiny
Have Your perfect plan for each identity
You created us in Your own image
After Your likeness You fashioned us
Lord hear our prayer

There are many millions who never made it on planet earth
Many who were never born and so never saw daylight down here
Then there are others who came but never fulfilled their purpose
These have all passed on, their bodies lying in a grave somewhere
Lord hear our prayer

May we who are aware of Your existence and Your plan
Have the courage and the know how to pass on this knowledge of Your purpose
So others will know and pass this knowledge of Your will and Your purpose on too
Making the world aware and then do what is expected of You
Lord hear our prayer

Then will You be moved in heaven
Then will You forgive all our sins and heal our land
Then will Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven
Then will You hear and answer all our prayers

Praying For God's Creation

Father God we're coming in your presence through Jesus Christ our Savior and Lord.
We thank you for this day our Father. One we've never seen before and will never see again. We're thankful for your mercies on this new day. Your blessings are new each day and your faithfulness is great towards us Lord.
Lord we're praying for the over seven billion people in existence on this earth today. We first and foremost wish to lift up your church to you today. We pray for the hard working members especially who need our prayers, moral, spiritual and most times financial support to carry out your will here among us.
Lord we lift up all clergy knowing that their work is not easy and sometimes some of them get so discouraged and that some even end up walking away from your will or taking their lives.
Lord hear our prayer as we intercede for our brothers and sisters. Lord we pray for laity just as much knowing many fill in at services when other duties call the minister away at such precious moments. Lord hear our prayer please and help where it is needed. Lord encourage, Lord uplift, Lord enlighten, Lord help those of us flowing in the five-fold ministries to be strengthened and to exhort, edify and comfort our fellow brethren as you have been teaching us to do all along.
Father we pray for church and state alike this morning knowing that everyone was created by you for a purpose here on earth. Our Father we lift up every leader of every nation here on this globe Father, and we ask that you strengthen and build up each one. Grant them the wisdom they need to lead their nation in the right direction God.
Grant wisdom to armor bearers of these leaders too Lord. Let every politician in every country around the world whether elected or appointed rise up and take up their responsibilities helping their nations' leaders to steer their countries toward progress and success in the name of Jesus Christ.
Then we pray for all civil servants all over this world. We pray for all security personnel protecting lives and properties and serving decent law abiding citizens of their countries. We pray for all armed forces guarding the borders of their countries all over the world. We pray for all serving in the medical profession and in education too.
Father we want to leave none from the working class or any other of your creation out of this prayer so we pray for the private sector, public sector, those who are not employed at the moment and we ask special blessings upon each section mentioned in Jesus name.
We especially pray for the disabled and the retired today Lord. Let them never be forgotten or be left out from getting the benefits they deserve unintentionally or intentionally, wherever they are in the world Lord God.
Our Father we lift up the sick, the elderly, the shut-in, the homeless, the underprivileged and anyone in any similar class as these that we have not mentioned. Your are perfect and righteous Lord and if there is any we have forgotten to mention we pray you minister to them as well our God. These and all other mercies we ask and say thanks for your answer in Jesus' name, amen!

I AM Who God Says I AM

I am black, I am white, I am yellow, I am red
Regardless, my color doesn't say the type of person I am
What matters is the content of my character
And who I identify with in my spirit life

I am no different from any other person physically
We all have the same organs, tissues, vessels, in our bodies
And we have the same color blood flowing through our veins
So you are my brother, and you are my sister in blood

Our blood types may be different
Our DNA one in a billion
But we all have the same father
He created me this way, I am who God says I am.

So when next you think about someone
If you find yourself questioning his or her reputation
Just remember, He or she was created
By the same person who created you

God made everyone and everything for His purpose
He did not make any junk
He made everyone in His own time and space because everything is His
And he looks on everything after He makes them
And He announces or proclaims, "Everything is made very well!"

In The End

It doesn't matter what is said about you
It doesn't matter what anyone does to you
It doesn't matter who likes or doesn't like you
You just be the best you, that you could ever be

God made you just the way He wanted you to be
He fearfully and wonderfully made you
You may have strayed from the path He had for you
Once you accept Him, like the prodigal son you will be reinstated

He made you in His own image He made you after His own likeness
God ordained you before you were born
He set you apart for His own personal purpose
God made you so special, He sees everything about your life before you were formed

Who on earth can determine your future
Who on earth can make you into someone else
Who on earth can change anything in your life
Nobody on earth can God is in charge of everything in your life

So let nothing negative anyone says about you
Let nothing ill intended anyone tries to do to you
Let no one's attempt to put you down
Be a means of determining who you are or your future

Everyone has faults, failures and shortcomings No one is perfect, flawless or sinless
At the ultimate judgment everyone will have to give an account for their actions
In the end only God who loves you and sees you the way no one else sees you
Can speak truthfully about you and make you aware of your need to be like Him.

Only Jesus

No one knows like I know, what the Lord has done and is still doing for me. He promised never to leave me, never to leave me alone. I gave my life to the Lord on Wednesday October 17th 1979. My Christian walk was the usual experience of a new convert until just about my birthday in 1981. I left the church and was out until 1990.
Yes I was the prodigal son for nine tumultuous years where the devils never stopped stealing all they could from me, and tried to kill and destroy me. I reached rock bottom in June of 1990 when my mother advised me to call on Jesus because only he can help me.

I took my mother's advice and when I called on Jesus, He did come. It was a midnight cry and I knelt by my bedside crying for a very long time. I felt the cleansing power of Jesus as the past nine years passed before my tearing eyes. During my backslidden years I felt like I had lived for over fifty years on this earth when I was only a youth or young man.

The very year I restored my fellowship to God a federal investigation commenced in my life to my surprise. I was not aware of this though until twelve years later. It is almost twenty-five years since it started and I am still here a free man through the power of Jesus Christ.

God brought me to this and He's taking me through it and will take me out of it. The reason for me going through this has been made known to me just as the investigation was made known to me twelve years after it started. It started when my fellowship was restored and since then God has had my full attention to the point where I only move when He tells me to. I went from being brother Moses to Elder Moses and has been in ministry for seventeen years now. A minister in training from 1998 to 2000; a minister from 2000 and an elder since 2004.

Had God not taken me to this federal investigation I know He would not have got my attention as He wanted. I would be straddling the fence, fooling around and sinning, thinking it's ok to just be saved and not pay attention to His calling.

I know there are hard core gunmen from Kingston, Jamaica who feel they were disrespected by me and would have sought to kill me had God not placed this shield around me using men and women conducting this investigation.

There's also instances where I hear and see crimes happening and knew if it were not for this investigation (which proves I'm not only not directly involved, but totally innocent), I would be a suspect and would probably be harassed by the police or even be arrested.

During the period of this investigation, I've seen governors, mayors, congressmen, senators and other public figures fallen to similar investigations. I've even seen secrets of a president exposed. I've seen others speak of me as though I'm the lowest of the low to throw off suspicion from themselves. Others "chase" me from their presence in a way to make it look like someone of my "reputation" is not welcome around them (thank God I'm in control of my character) while you can see the fear in their eyes because who they really don't want around them are the federal investigators who, should they start to investigate them, too much garbage would be found in their closet that they want no one to know about and this could result in arrest and prosecution.

I thank God for this investigation in my life as it has helped me to grow and mature in Him and has kept me from great harm and possible death. This investigation has been looked on as a curse by many but I, Elder Moses Johnson Sr., who's the subject of this investigation beg to disagree totally. This has been my blessing (as the flees were for Ms. Cornelia "Corrie" Ten Boom in her cell). This federal investigation has been my stepping stone to God's calling for my life, and the support or springboard for my future in God.  It will be a bittersweet day for me when this ends, I don't want it to continue but I do need it. Thank You my Lord Jesus Christ! You promised never to leave us. Only You Jesus has been with me every step of the way and You only give your Saints what you know is best for us!!!
