Manifested Power

Coming in to land in Tuscany

Stunningly beautiful terrain

In natural hues 

Of olive, earthy brown and dusky grey

Brought me joy that sprang up songs

Because of the evidence 

Of God's creative power

Put on display for me

Then I got to thinking

When I sing the chorus

Come down o Lord

And manifest your power

It seems to me that I am asking for something he has already done 

Should I not sing 

Thank you o Lord for your manifested power?

Our triune God manifests himself 

In more ways than we can imagine

It was all around me to see

In magnificent clumpy clouds

In the topography of the mountains

I came to an acknowledgement 

That even the breath of life 

Passing in and out of my nostrils

Is the manifested power of God

This, the most sophisticated 

Complex, operating system in the world

The human body, is a complete marvel

And for sure a sign 

Of God's manifested power

It is an interconnected, Interdependent plumbing, electrical and sensory circuit

Capable of amazing complexities

How the body works

Is mind blowing at the very least 

So, I am changing my song

I am changing my tune

Thank you o Lord

For your manifested power

All of Creation is waiting for you

I was profoundly affected by a scripture I read yesterday because of a deep realization and understanding of its meaning. I found myself crying as I realized why I did not die from two deadly diseases. Oh my Father God!🙌🏾🙌🏾

 Glory and honour to you as I bow. I realized that this is a mandate to go all out with no holds barred to be what ALL of creation is WAITING in eager EXPECTATION to be revealed in me. 

Here is the scripture:-

I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. 

For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed. 

Romans 8:18c-19 | NIV

I also understand why a song by @nkmaduforo, beautifully rendered by her at church stirred my heart as I listened to the lyrics and watched the awesome  interpretations in modern dance that was going on as Nk sang. 

To anyone reading this. 

The world is waiting eagerly for you to be revealed. I pray that you get a clear revelation of who and what that you is, that is yet to be unveiled. May you have a sense of fulfillment as you do your purpose walk entering into new levels of expression, and enter into a place of joy and contentment. 

Amen 🙏🏾
