Tweet True United Messenger!! (TUM): Joy and Happiness

Turning the Negative Into Postive


Huge Tree
A few years ago I happened to be stressed and depressed at that point I needed no body to talk to me in any way, so I decided to take a walk in a nearby park/gardens/compound, I laid down looking above in the sky, seeing the shining blue-white clouds, I begun asking God, “ If you do exist come out of those clouds and meet me now?” from that moment I don’t know how I sat and my eyes were now focusing on a nearby huge tree which was just in front of me, I looked at the leaves, the branches, the stem and the roots, since some roots were on top of the ground,
The Lord had to drive me back before the plantations took place, at the beginning someone got the seed and planted the tree, even if it took time to germinate he became patience with it until germination, he was filled with joy and happiness for that, thereafter, the shoot became fragile and sun was shining day by day, so he had to protect it, by every day getting a wateringcan and water his growing tree, where he realized that enemies could attack it, he had to create a perimeter wall for its protection and a shade to prevent it from the daily sun and exposure, this took some good many years until now, look at the trees in your compound, I believe some trees were planted by someone whom you even don’t know may be you planted it by yourselves but the care you used to give it is not the same as today, now here we’re enjoying everything bit of it, When you come to some parts of Africa basically in the villages, when the leaves fall off the trees they are used as lighting papers to start up a cooking stove and atime when the branches fall off, they are used as energy, and also for building, other trees are medicine also, they become helpful but we can’t know how they came into existence.
After going through that revelation and vision I checked myself and begun questioning myself : When I was a baby my parents used to take care of me day by day, I was infact breast fed on the palms of my mother, they bathed me always, when I became sick they took responsibilities to see that my health is in good conditions,
I remember, during Christmas seasons we used to go visit our grandparents in villages once in a while, One time my mother and I together with my brothers and sisters paid a visit to our grandmother, upon reaching there, we all the children were sent in the grass shushed kitchen, I took step to cooking milk, I was given a kettle then went to the cow and the person responsible of milking the cow gave me the milk in the kettle hence to the firewood local stove, after it was fully cooked, I carried the kettle which was too hot, as I was approaching the door way to the living room, I fell down and the whole blazing milk poured onto my right arm, I screamed not because of the pain I was feeling but because of the fear that I was going to be beaten because of pouring the milk, so my grandma ran to me and am glad that time none of them beat me. They went to the bushes and got all several herbs to find ways of healing my arm as soon as possible, they all seemed not working, the arm begun rotting and I could see the bones inside, every day I couldn`t sleep but cry, for sure I thought that my hand was to be chopped off, someone in the village brought an idea that when you get the fur of a rabbit and pour onto it, it will gain more meat and heal, since we were in the village, they ran and got the fur, poured it on my hand but it worsened everything but instead it produced a lot of purse, which could stink and nobody would even come near me, I almost died in the village because of ignorance, thereafter I was brought back to Kampala the main City of Uganda, and I was treated and healing came, but all this care came by my parents.
Well, your parents could be treating you bad now, forsook you, but one thing I can tell you, since they persisted and carried your pregnancy until your birth, they remain your parents, recently have been watching ONE TREE HILL- SERIES: this movie teaches you how to handle love regardless of any thing Love shall be there, you may stubbornly act as if you don’t have love inside of you but its there, you just have to dig it and use it.
Now am grownup my parents don’t have to carry me so I can feed, I leave by my own, just like the tree, its on its own now, when it rains, it rains on it, when the sun shines, it shines on it, many enemies approach it, and use it in any way but it remains standing.
In this state what I do, I turn every negative into positive, in many ways when the enemy comes to you, a times we say: may be God doesn’t exist but he remains there and He always watches over us, when the sun shines on the tree you may say that the trees are going to burn but instead they are growing with turgidity, infact they are gaining minerals for a process. Look at the differences in plants, during summer, winter, spring seasons, at every stage the trees, plants look beautiful,
Just like humans at every stage we look awesome for the testimony of God.
Hope you are encouraged

Joy and Happiness

Joy and HappinessFinding Peace, Happiness, and Joy"Happiness Joy" Tri Tone Casting Stretch Bracelet Fashion JewelryBringing Joy and Happiness Holiday Puzzle 1000 Piece by White Mountain Puzzles

The Desire of Human Nature.
On this Earth we're all separated by sex, race, religion, language, customs and geography but we also have something in common; we breathe the same air, we all bleed the same red blood, we all need food and rest and shelter and oh yeah, we all want happiness/joy
We do all, we can to find happiness, by either getting in a movie theatre or any other entertaining arenas but all to un-satisfactory, there's a place where I have been and you can tap joy and happiness plus Peace instantly;
Introduction
The words praise and *Worship cover the whole of our response of love/ joy/ happiness and appreciation to the Lord our savior. They sum up our reason for living. Isaiah 43:21: Ephesians 1:6, 12 and 14
►►We should thank God for what he has given to us.
►►We should Praise God for what He has done for us.
►►We should *Worship God for who He is to us.

We need to always have a thankful heart to God who has done so much for us (Psalms 100:4) God loves us cares for us, and wants us to know this. Out of grateful hearts we can give thanks to Him and *worship Him in Spirit and Truth.

*Worship is what the Father is seeking:
Jesus said; "yet a time is coming and now is when the true worshipers will *worship the Father in Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshippers the Father seeks. God is Spirit and His Worshippers must *worship Him in Spirit and Truth."

1. We *worship the Father; As His redeemed sons and daughters, we love Him because he first Loved us (1 John 4:19)
2. We *worship from our Spirit; this means that we must be born again of the Holy Spirit if we are to worship God acceptably. Our worshiping of God should be led and inspired by the Holy Spirit. Only He knows how to *worship God in a way that is pleasing to the Father (1 Corinthians 2:10-16; John 16:13-15)
3. We *worship from our Heart; we *worship in truth; out of the reality of life lived in fellowship with God the Father through Jesus His Son, we need to offer heart felt *worship to God with our mouths (Mathew 15:8-9). We need to express the melody in our hearts (Ephesians 5:19) and the Joy that Jesus Brings us (Luke 1:16-47)
4. We *Worship with our understanding; because we worship a God that we know personally (Acts 17:22-23)
5. We *Worship from the will; we do not praise God or *worship Him because we feel like it but because He desire it.

*Worship is a priority in Heaven, whenever we see a picture of God in the Bible, we see *worship in progress (Isaiah 6:1-5; Revelations 4:6-11; Ezekiel 47:1-12) *Worship gives place for the rule of God and the form of worship or liturgy is no the issue. The issue is whether the life of God is in our *worship.

What ways can we offer to praise and *worship to God:

With words (Psalms 9:1)
By shouting (Psalms 95:1)
By bowing down (Psalms 95:6)
In songs (Psalms 104:33/33:1)
With dancing (this is a symbol of a larger truth, that our whole lives, body, soul and Spirit, are given to the Lord in response to His Love (Psalms 150:4, Psalms 149:3)
With raised hands, expressing dependence to the Lord or victory in the Lord (Psalms 134:2)

* it’s the only place you can go and get full joy and happiness, I remember the day I started worshipping I got Joy that makes me feel like I need nothing else except worship, when you are in worship there's a point you reach and feel as if you're not on this earth, it feels good when you get deeper and deeper into the inner courts/chambers of God's Presence, I have learnt to worship even in time of trouble, even in times when all friends are judging you bitterly just jump into worship, as I said earlier; Joy and happiness will instantly be with you, and you will feel the calmness of peace eternally, I love God, and I will serveHim as long as I can. Glory be to God. In the book of Acts Paul and Silas were jailed into the deepest prison but when they started worshipping my friend all chains and doors of the prison instantly were broken, and joy, happiness and peace engulfed Paul and Silas and all the believers who were worshipping read Acts16:16 to end for a full story.
You may not know where your joy will come from but try this place, may be your parents, grandparents, guardians told you that you were cursed by your ancestors and you are bound, brother, Sister, friend that’s a prison, begin worshiping God you will un-chain your self out of that boundary and you will be out of that generation, and instantly you will do what you couldn’t do, and instantly Joy and happiness will surround you. I love Jesus for liberating us, as soon as he was put on the Cross all our sins and chains were broken off our lives, that’s why Jesus said I won't leave you orphaned, He left us with the Holy Spirit, remember all the three move/work together, where the Holy Spirit is, God the Son is there and God the Father is there, don’t allow your self to be bound in tears and Agony, worship the Lord and tap endless Joy, Happiness and peace.
I have songs that I wrote and recorded you may need a piece of music that worship God, contact me I will mail it to you
Most times when I can't sing I listen to Christian music and dance, crap hands, wave hands in the air worshipping God.
Enjoy your self in this dimension and I know you will never remain the same from now on.

Stay blessed
Yours Faithfully
