Hymn For Today - 2

Jesus lives thy terrors now Can O death no more appal us Jesus lives by this we know Thou O grave cans't enthral us Alleluia Jesus lives henceforth is death But the gate of life eternal This shall calm our trembling breath When we pass its gloomy portal Alleluia Jesus lives for us He died Then alone to Jesus living Pure in heart may we abide Glory to our Saviour giving Alleluia Jesus lives our hearts know well Nought from us His love shall sever Life nor death nor powers of hell Tear us from His keeping  ever Alleluia Jesus lives, to Him the Throne Over all the world is given May we go where He is gone Rest and reign with Him in Heaven Alleluia

Hurray!!!! It's Easter Sunday And Christ Is Risen

The fulfillment of the prophesy The final reconciliation of man to God For if Christ had not been raised from death, our belief would have been in vain but thank God for such a wonderful gift In resurrection, He gave us power over death, though the body may die, rot and turn to ash but the soul lives on and shall be reclothed with an eternal garment on the day of the Lord Easter is a STATEMENT completed when He said “for God so loved the world that He gave His Only Begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” This day, just BE NICE May God be praised Bless and be Blessed Today tell someone that "Christ is Risen" and let them reply to you "He is Risen indeed - Hallelujah" #IHIMBlog

Hymn For Today - 1

Alleluia Alleluia Alleluia The strife is oér, the battle done The triumph of the Lord is won Oh let the song of praise be sung Alleluia The powers of death have done their worst And Jesus hath His foes dispersed Let shouts of praise and joy outburst Alleluia He brake the bonds of death and hell The bars from Heaven’s high portals fell Let songs of praise His Triumph’s tell Alleluia     On that third morn He rose again Glorious in Majesty to reign Oh let us swell the joyful strain Alleluia Lord by the stripes which wounded Thee From death’s dread sting Thy servants free That we may live and sing to Thee Alleluia

Holy Saturday

My People Greetings of the new day. To God be all the glory great things He hath done for us especially for giving us life even for today, may His Name be forever magnified in Jesus Name – Amen. Yesterday we commemorated the ‘GOOD FRIDAY’ We remembered that Jesus asked for the cup to pass Him by, but also asked that the Will of God be done and since it was the Will of God that He suffer death in order to reconcile mankind to God, He accepted it without quavering. We remembered that Judas Iscariot finally sold His Master for 30 pieces of shekel and with a kiss and when He found out that it was no joke and the Master was actually arrested and humiliated, he went and hanged himself. We remembered that He Who could do “vanishing acts” refused to walk away when the Jews came for Him, He humbly followed them even as they insulted and assaulted Him. We remembered that Pontius Pilate in differing to the Sanhedrin and even in direct rejection of his wi

Hymn For Today - 4

There is a green hill far away Without a city wall Where the dear Lord was crucified Who died to save us all We may not know, we cannot tell What pains He had to bear But we believe it was for us He hung and suffered there He died that we might be forgiven He died to make us good That we might go at last to Heaven Saved by His Precious Blood There was no other good enough To pay the price of sin He only could unlock the gate Of Heaven and let us in Oh dearly, dearly has He loved And we must love Him too And trust in His redeeming Blood And try His works to do

Hymn For Today - 3

Forgive them O My Father They know not what they do The Saviour spake in anguish As the sharp nails went through No pained approaches gave He To them that shed His Blood But prayer and tenderest pity Large as the love of God For me was that compassion For me that tender care I need His wide forgiveness As much as any there It was my price and hardness That hung Him on the Tree Those cruel nails O Saviour Were driven in by me And often I have slighted Thy Gentle Voice that chide Forgive me too Lord Jesus I know not what I did O depth of sweet compassion O Love Divine and True Save Thou the souls that slight Thee And know not what they do

Hymn For Today - 2

Rock of Ages cleft for me Let me hide myself in Thee Let the Water and the Blood From Thy riven Side which flowed Be of sin the double cure Cleanse me from its guilt and power Not the labours of my hands Can fulfill Thy Law's demand Could my zeal no respite know Could my tears forever flow All for sin could not atone Thou must save and Thou Alone Nothing in my hand I bring Simply to Thy Cross I cling Naked come to Thee for dress Helpless look to Thee for grace Vile, I to the Fountain fly Wash me Saviour or I die While I draw this fleeting breath When mine eyelids close in death When I soar through tracks unknown See Thee on Thy Judgment Throne Rock of Ages cleft for me Let me hide myself in Thee

Holy Friday - Good Friday

My People Greetings of the new day. To God be all the glory great things He hath done for us especially for giving us life even for today, may His Name be forever magnified in Jesus Name – Amen. It’s Friday, the 5th day in the Holy Week and we are still obliged to continue to keep it holy because of what Christ did for us in going up the Cross to die for us. Today we remember that Jesus asked for the cup to pass Him by, but also asked that the Will of God be done and since it was the Will of God that He suffer death in order to reconcile mankind to God, He accepted it without quavering. Today we remember that Judas Iscariot finally sold His Master for 30 pieces of silver or 30 shekels and with a kiss and when He found out that it was no joke and the Master was actually arrested and humiliated, he went and hanged himself. Today we remember that He Who could do “vanishing acts” refused to walk away when the Jews came for Him, He humbly followed them even a

Hymn For Today - 1

When I survey the wondrous Cross On which the Prince of Glory died My richest gain I count but loss And pour contempt on all my pride Forbid it Lord that I should boast Save in the Cross of Christ my Lord All the vain things that charm me most I sacrifice them to His Blood See, from His Head, His Hands, His Feet Sorrow and love flow mingled down Did e'er such love and sorrow meet Or thorns compose so rich a Crown Were the whole realm of nature mine That were an offering far too small Love so amazing, so divine Demands my soul, my life, my all

Holy Thursday - Maundy Thursday

TO ALL MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY Greetings of the new day. It pleased God to bring us back from sleep and for which we are extremely grateful It’s a Thursday, the 4th day in the Holy Week and we are still obliged to continue to keep it holy because of what Christ did for us in going up the Cross to die for us. Today we remember that the humble act of washing of the disciples' feet, we remember that the last Supper shall be served, we remember that it shall be made public who would betray Christ, we remember the agony in the Garden, we remember the arrest, the trial and the sentencing, we remember the curse that the Sanhedrin in their blind anger heaped upon themselves and the generations unborn, we remember all these and ask that God should help our unbelief As far as the Teachers of the law were concerned, Jesus erred by trying to outwit and outshine them and that can not be condoned As we remember to make this Holy week holy indeed, let’s refrain from

Hymn For Today

O Holy Jesu, Prince of Peace Thy peace with us gathering round Thy Board Where the sweet Presence of an unseen Lord Waits to be gracious, charged with full release To every heavy laden soul which here remembers Thee Once more as in that upper room Thou Who didst love Thine Own unto the end Thou Whose dear Voice to every sorrowing friend Spoke the great promise through the deepening gloom Thou biddst us, Masterf of the Feast Today remember Thee And e'en in our hands we take Thy broken Bread, the precious Cup of Love Thy dying Testament, which from above Thou deignst ever new and fresh to make A Fount of grace and life to all We do remember Thee When stung by thoughts of sin and shame We scarce can dare to meet our Father's look Through these Thy signs we know that not rebuke But pardoning love is ours as in Thy Name We now present ourselves and here O Christ remember Thee Ours is the bond of

Holy Tuesday

                                          Holy Tuesday TO ALL MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY Greetings of the new day. God has done it again, He woke me up from the no man’s land, He showed me mercy when I was deeply troubled. I am fully persuaded that He also did same to you, may His Name be glorified for ever. Amen It is Tuesday, the second day of this Holy Week. We are obliged to continue to keep it holy because of what Christ did for us in going up the Cross to die for us. Today we remember that an agreement had been reached between Judas and the Sanhedrin on how and when to arrest Jesus and bring Him to “judgement”. As far as the Teachers of the law were concerned, Jesus erred by calling Himself the Son of God and actually equating Himself with God (He said “I and My Father are One”) As we remember to make this Holy week holy indeed, let’s refrain from harbouring evil thoughts, from broadcasting evil-intended messages, from consulting evil minded persons

Hymn For Today

I could not do without Thee O Saviour of the lost Whose Precious Blood redeemed me At such tremendous cost Thy Righteousness, Thy pardon Thy Precious Blood must be My only hope and comfort My glory and my plea I could not do without Thee I cannot stand alone I have no strength or goodness No wisdom of my own But Thou Beloved Saviour Art All in all to me And weakness will be power If leaning hard on Thee I could  not do without Thee For oh the way is long And I am often weary And sigh replaces song How could I do without Thee I do not know the way Thou knowest and Thou leadest And wilt not let me stray I could not do without Thee O Jesu Saviour dear E'en when my eyes are holden I know that Thou art near How dreary and how lonely This changeful life would be Without the sweet communion The secret rest with Thee I could not do without Thee No other friend can read The Spirit's strange deep longings

Holy Monday

Greetings of the new day to all my friends with the sure hope that God manifested His goodness to you and yours over the night in bringing you back to this land of the living so that you can continue to glorify His Name and testify to His goodness in your lives. May all Glory, Adoration, Honour, Power and Dominion be ascribed unto Him now and for ever – Amen. It is Monday, the beginning of the new week; and this week isn’t just any other week, it is the HOLY WEEK. The week we commemorate the passion of Jesus Christ as He went willingly and willfully to the Cross of Calvary to pay the price for OUR COLLECTIVE SINS. Today we remember that the Conspirators were busy arranging with Judas Iscariot who was to betray Jesus on how and when he was going to do that, Jesus of course knew what was going on but He did not stop it from happening because “it was for that reason that He came into the world” to save mankind from eternal destruction. As we remember to make thi

Hymn For Today

Now, Lord to every heart make known The Power of Jesus Cross alone Open the doors of mercy wide Lead us to Jesus crucified Oh, never be the words in vain Which testify a Saviour slain But may they by Thy grace applied Lead us to Jesus crucified Teach us our wretched state to know And lost in sin and guilt and woe To cast away all hope beside And cling to Jesus crucified Teach us to live to Him alone And after death, before Thy Throne May we in Thy blest Courts abide And sing a Saviour crucified

Hymn For Today - 2

Ride on, ride on in Majesty Hark all the tribes Hosanna cry O Saviour meek pursue Thy Road With palms and scattered garments strewed Ride on, ride on in Majesty In lowly pomp ride on to die O Christ, Thy Triumphs now begin O'er captive death and conquered sin Ride on, ride on in Majesty The Angel armies of the Sky Look down with sad and wondering eyes To see the approaching Sacrifice Ride on, ride on in Majesty The last and fiercest strife is nigh The Father on His Sapphire Throne Awaits His Own Anointed Son Ride on, ride on in Majesty In lowly pomp ride on to die Bow Thy meek Head in mortal pain Then take O God Thy Power and Reign
