The only true Glory

A wise man once said," If you seek your own glory, it is not true glory." What a hard concept to grasp in our age, when it seems that everyone is looking for more fame, more money, more things. The popular culture esteems those who achieve these things in it's media, magazines, internet, cable, and smartphones. We are inundated with images of glory by gain. But, is this true glory?
The Bible teaches us, those that have ears to hear, that the only true glory or fame, power, and high standing only comes when we seek to please God( John 5:44). When we humble ourselves in obedience to God with a sincere heart He then elevates us. But the proud and the arrogant he brings low and lower till they are no more ( 1 Peter 5:5,6). If we consider the rise of David the son of Jesse, we would see this very concept in action.
David's rise to glory and kingship unto being giving the honor of being the progenitor of the Messiah, Jesus our Lord, did not start with him seeking it. Remember David was the youngest of Jesse's sons, a shepherd, and a messenger for his father Jesse. But he had the heart of God in that he was fearless in the defense of the helpless and in the upholding of the honor of his God, Yahawah. For example, when a lion and a bear attacked his sheep, David, did not run and hide but with the courage of a warrior of God he pursued them and killed them both and rescued the helpless. Again, when a giant mocked God and his people Israel, David on his journey as a messenger heard it. And his passion burned, not for glory, but for God and the people of Israel. He took up the challenge of the giant with only a sling and a stone. That day God cause his star to rise in Israel, for God blessed him with his Holy Spirit. His arm became a cannon and a weapon of fierce power and furry, as he cast his stone with the power of a god, killing the giant instantly, as the stone penetrated his skull with violent force. At the sight of this the enemies of Israel fled for they knew this was a supernatural act and great fear fell upon them all. From this point on God continue to promote David, because he stayed humble and faithful, knowing that it was God who gave him all the power that he had and was with him( the history of David is found in the books of 1 & 2 Samuel).
This is the only true type of glory we should seek, brothers and sisters; the glory that comes from God, anything else is not of Him but of this world (James 3: 13,14,15). And we, who believe in the scriptures, know that the things of this world are only for a moment and are about to vanish as though they had never been ( 1 John 2:16,17). We know that true glory comes form abiding in Christ, who instructed us to trust in the living God( John 15:5), so that we may be the true city on the hill-the Israel of God ( Matt. 5:13,14).
I challenge you, brothers and sisters, to pursue the only true glory there ever was; the glory that comes only form God. Remember David and all the saints of the past, who forsook this world and all it's seduction and followed after the promises of God( Luke 4:5,6,7,8). Let us take the Messiah as our chief example, who sought to please God and not himself that we may be reconciled to God again and that God may be all in all, in heaven and earth- the only true glory is that which comes from God.

Endurance

The more you continue with God, the more you understand. However, this type of endurance will require much discipline, obedience, faith, trust, integrity, and fearlessness. Uncommon traits in a world bent on pleasure and self-focus. Yet, the good man is willing to look beyond this current reality and focus on that which is eternal- the invisible world, which daily is moving to merge into our physical world. And because he can see what has been revealed to him he abides with the God of eternity, willing to live in obedience, to forgive and be forgiven, to love without expecting anything in return; because he knows that God is his great reward. So, he marches on his path, not turning to the left or right, till he reaches the gates of Zion.

Your brother in Christ,

Eye of the Storm

There's a storm coming
and in the eye of the storm
I was brought forth
A man accustomed to sorrows
despised by my mother's children
but beloved of God
and saved by the King
For I was precious in His eyes
He took me from among the flock
and said, " Thou art mine, O Israel"

Zarach

Like Water

Flow like waves in the ocean
or ripples in the  water
blow like the breeze in autumn
Music
You are my escape-
sweet Jazz music
when the world is holding unto me
and wont let go
You come and comfort me
My mind Relaxes
Me soul Rest
My body Reclines
Then I can breathe again
The waters that are just above my head
begin to abate and pull away like the tide
No storms coming
Levies not broken
Rose growing
Fig tree blooming

Zarach

In the midst of your storm

Life is in constant change. Change can happens rapidly or at a certain pace, yet it will happen. And in these times of uncertainty and great struggles change is all that we experience. Yet, the one true thing or entity that is always constant and by our side is God.
Brothers and sisters, it is a mark of wisdom if we abide with God in our struggles; for salvation and deliverance comes only from the Lord.
In the midst of the storms of life, the struggles, the pain, stress, and anxiety as experience by fellow believers across the USA and Worldwide, the light of hope comes form one place- the Most High, who encompass heaven and earth.
Whatever we may be going through, with it's storms and mighty winds that beat against us, we must take courage and endure. And this with the knowledge that the saints of yesterday, today, and tomorrow have overcome the trials of life as it is written in the holy scriptures- by the blood of the Lamb, Christ our Lord; who is able to comfort us in all our troubles.

I encourage you, brothers and sisters, to take a moment and read the following scripture; taking in the Spirit of God that is in the word, as you read.

1. Matthew 7:24-27
2. 1 Peter 5: 8,9
3. Revelation 12:10,11
4. Hebrews 2: 14-18

Read these scriptures daily as to go through and overcome your struggles.

Your Brother in Christ,

Two Cities

 

There is one City

full of all things:

Hate, violence, schemes,

Gossips, slander, accusations,

Intoxicating highs, and lies,

Random acts of violence,

Uncertain safety, fast cars,

Frustrations,

And the talk of evil men

that lurk in secret places

for easy victims

at home or abroad.

It is a City where guns, knives,

And weapons of mass destruction

are a way of life,

and the illusion of abundance.

Some people call this

Peace and Liberty.

Dark clouds hover

over this City.

 

Then there is a City

Well ordered, in a valley,

Vast and Expanding into the horizon.

  It is quiet.

The people walk about freely.

They go about their endeavors,

Laboring to build and create;

Caring for the people of the City,

Caring for the trees, the rivers,

The hillside and all the creatures

Who live there.

Violence is not heard of in this City.

There is a calm like at dusk that hovers

Over this City.

All things flow together in this City,

Like a pleasant river on its way to the blue sea.

The light of this City is different also,

Not like the light of the sun,

It is a sunless light, a pure light.

The people of this city rejoice

As they walk

In this light that is over them.

 

You see- they knew the City they

Once escaped from, with its promises

Of freedom and abundance

Only to be disillusioned by the pain

They felt every day when they lived there.

But, Now is a New Time.

Ps. 48: 12, 13, 14

Read all of Psalm 48- and see the Glory of our God

Shalam,

Zarach

 

 

The heart of a teacher

A teacher is moved with compassion to help his students in their needs and development, like Christ, he sees their weakness, their lack of wholeness, and the things that are holding them back from developing the potential that is in them.

The teacher sees the beauty and potential of the student and labors with skill and knowledge to develop it, to bring it out that it may be a blessing to the student and to humanity.

The teacher is compassionate in assessing the needs of the student, and while having high expectations for the student is careful to allow the student to learn the fundamentals- to take hold of the milk. And once it is mastered, then he adds to the learning of the student so he may grow from there, all the while providing the encouragement and his skill as an educator to actualize the student’s potential.

The teacher realizes that true education is one in which the student is instructed to analyze the needs of his community and the world around him and develop strategies on how best to meet that need. This is done while considering the historical factor of the students community, the goals and aspirations of the community, and the urgency for change in the community.

These are critical points when considering the Hebrew Israelite community here in America, in selecting teachers and leaders; but most importantly in fulfilling their prophetic destiny. The Hebrews, called Indians and Blacks , here in America arrived on the shores of this continent as it is written in the prophecy of the holy scriptures (Deut. 28:68, 2 Esdras 13:40-46 ) in ships. They arrived as the Hebrew Israelites, the people of God and Christ their King. And  it is they who will leave America as it is written at the time of the gathering of God’s holy and elect people from the four corners of the earth ( Matt. 24:29-31). It is through them that God will bless the earth and the nations that survive the Day of The Lord and are called to this rising of God’s holy people. The Hebrew Israelite people here in America have a calling buried and etched into their spiritual DNA that has been suppressed for hundreds of years through neglect by their leadership and deliberate miseducation by their oppressors. But, nevertheless, the calling, which is of God, cannot be removed and at the appointed time according to prophecy it shall manifest itself to the glory of God the Father and Christ the Lord- because the word of God will be proven true and evident in that day.
