_10,00UV 321/10,000 Amazing Principles of the Uni-verse revealed verse by verse
Nehemiah 4 v 17 The WWW principle
Neh 4:17 They which builded on the wall, and they that bare burdens, with those that laded, every one with one of his hands wrought in the work, and with the other hand held a weapon.


Each of us is a builder and a soldier in God’s kingdom. With one hand we must do our work, the professions or our official responsibilities. With the other hand, we must gird ourselves or protect ourselves with the Sword of the Word of God. The Word is a powerful and effectual weapon for it pierces the places which no sword of steel can- the deepest core of both the user and the listener. Though it is not made of stainless steel, it will keep our souls stainless and steel us to fight great resistance and and aggression. It will help both in our building and in our soldiering. God’s Kingdom is built like a wall, brick by brick, one life by one life. Each of us have our own burdens or responsibilies to carry. Instead of being weighed down by these burdens, we must joyfully do our work with one hand and be prepared to fight with the sword in the other. We do not slay people in the flesh but we “pray and slay” in the spirit. There is nothing in the enemy’s arsenal to match the weapon of offence and defense in our hands for that little stance we take in faith will move the array of forces of God to act and fight on our behalf and at our behest. He will fight our battles for us but we are expected to carry our burdens, carry our own swords and do our own work.


If we look at the root of the words, “ Word, work, worship, worth” the common root is “ wor” indicating there is a commonality underlying each of these.
Perhaps, the spiritual and holistic equation should read :
Word+Work+Worship=worth.

The Word will enable us to know our Commander in Chief, Jesus Christ who commands all the awesome forces and armies of heaven, who comes riding on a white horse, with a sword from His mouth, slaying the Adversary of our souls. Our work itself is an act of worship of the Living God, who is both a chief Partner and the purpose of our work. Psalm 149 states that it is the glory of His saints to praise and worship God with our mouths, to carry a double-edged sword in our hands, to execute judgement on the nations and peoples, to bind kings with fetters and the nobles with shackles of iron, to carry out the sentence written against them.
The Word will also give us guidelines for our work. The Word will equip us for our work. The work of our hands will be blessed in accordance with the Word. Our net worth in the sight of God and man will increase. We become worthy in His sight and He will call us “ good and faithful workers.” We can then confess like Paul, “ I have run the good race, I have fought the good fight.”

Learn from the beasts and worship the Best

Uni-verse 268/10,000 For better through verse Revelation 5 v 13
Rev 5:13 And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.

As I sit meditating on this uni-verse in the garden, I can hear the birds chirping with joy, the squirrels crying with excitement. I can see the trees swaying gently in the breeze.
I recalled what the Lord had revealed two days ago in a time of prayer, “ The birds and the beasts acknowledge, praise and worship Me but much of mankind even in this city does not.” Like in the time of Noah, He likened the city to Sodom and Gomorrah and regretted that He had even created them.

The Psalmist says, “ He commanded and they were created.” The sun, moon and the trillion stars praise Him by shining in the darkness. All beasts and creatures praise His Being for their being. But, Kings of the earth, princes, judges, young men and maidens, old men and children and all people are not praising Him for His excellent Name. Firstly, for causing them to be and secondly, for redeeming them. Instead of focusing on their being and rejoicing at being, they are each engaged in “ becoming”-becoming richer, more famous, more powerful, more secure, more healthy, more happy. In doing so, they are missing the mark. They are too busy seeking blessing, glory, honour and power when all this both belongs to and originates from the Source of life, the Lamb of God-Jesus. The name of our planet Earth is split into “ ear” and “th..” The hint is hear with your ear and think and thank the Lord.Take the cue from this song:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7VHHAl8dL4

In the name of secularizing history,recent revision of history have sought to rename B.C. and A.D. as Before Common Era or B. C. E. and Common Era. In a recent testimony that I gave before Members of Parliament and the capital’s elite, I said that “ Jesus is the X factor responsible for the rise and fall of individuals, families, organizations, societies, cultures and nations. When we acknowledge him as the beasts of the skies and the lands and the seas do, He is the X factor responsible for our Xcellence. When we do not and choose to ignore Him, He becomes the axe. Why is He above all things and persons to be worshipped in heaven and earth? He caused us into being as the First Cause of life itself. He paid the ultimate price for our shortcomings by being slain for us and thereby, placed before us the promise of eternal life. Therefore, blessing and honour and glory and power belong to Him and to Him alone in all of history and all of the universe.
