Lord, how I have loved this life
In you I find where I belong
In you I find comfort
Yes in you, I boast
I glory in you, Oh lord.
I looked at this life, in you
I wondered and pondered and queried
I searched and hunted
My life in you Oh Lord is the joy of my heart
In you I am satisfied, I am content.
Where would I be without you?
I arise in the morning, and rejoice
At noon time, my reins praise you
In the middle of the night, your hand protects me.
All day I boast in you
What can intimidate me, when I am in you
In you, I am never ashamed
Victory is mine, in you
Bring it on, the Lord is on my side
I love this God
I love this life
Lord Jesus, I laughed by myself
Such knowledge is awesome
I have a teacher in me
I have one who reminds me all things
An unction, that knows all things
Yes, He guides me into all truth
He leads in the way of the Lord
He causes me to walk in your statutes
The law of love He embedded in my heart
The Love of God He shared abroad in my heart
Whom shall I fear?
What shall I fret?
Where am I afraid of going?
What situation can overwhelm me?
Is it impossible, bring it to me.
You think its hard, try me.
Oh Father, I love this life
Master, in you I win
Nothing can overwhelm me.
You by my side, I am more than a conqueror
I love this life.
I watched you build me
I saw the transformation in me, in YOU.
I enjoyed you mentoring me
I celebrate how you loved me
Brick upon brick, layer upon layer
Precept upon precept you mould me
I love this life.
I love this life indeed
I enjoy this life my God
Father, it is beautiful in you
I know in you I am a victor
I love this life
There is that song, I love
The words are always in my heart and mouth
I love this life
The song, says the sons of God are here
Vana vaMwari vauya, vana vaMwari vasvika
I love this life.
I look forward to each day
I rejoice at all my days
Oh Lord, I love this life

TRANSFORMED BY THE WORD
Romans 12:1-2 I beseech you therefore, brethren,by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good and perfect, will of God.
I always wondered when one is born again (2 Cor 5:17), we still need to watch ourselves and to live a life that is holy before God. Regardless of the new nature we received at the new birth we still need to buffet our bodies (1 Cor 9:27) and gird up the loins of our mind and be sober (1 Peter 1:13)until I was taught that man is a spirit who has a soul and lives in a body. (1 Thess 5:23. Paul nails it all in Romans 12 by prescribing the remedy.
We are to offer our bodies as living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God and have our mind (soul) renewed. I love this part - Do not be conformed to the pattern of this world but be ye transformed by the renewal of your mind - this life that we have now is contrary to the pattern of this world. To be conformed means to be fashioned, to be styled, to go according to and also to be adapted. My dad, Dr Goodwill Shana has a message called breaking the mould where he talked about defying the frame/make up/ status quo, it blessed my heart. As long as we wage war or order our life according to the pattern of this world we fail and are weak as Christ-like beings.
Be ye transformed, (remember our spirit man is made anew at the new birth but the soul and the body still have the old nature)- transformation is metarmorphosis, this is the process of change from an immature form to an adult form or a change in form /nature. You remember Peter alluding to the fact that as newborn babies we need to desire the sincere milk of the word that we may grow thereby (1 Pet 2:2)and Paul said he could not speak to them as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ(1 Cor 3:1); think about tranformation in that regard, a change of nature / form but also growth from immaturity to adulthood.
I look at it like the same process that happened to the inward man (spirit man) has to be followed by a similar process of the soul which will cause the body to be easily subdued or dominated by the spirit man. The more ypu renew your mind the more your spirit man dominates and the more easily you can put your body under.
By the renewal of your mind - The Word of God is the one that renews our mind. (James 1:21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word which is able to save your souls.)The Word renews. It gives us the pattern of God, the way of the new life, it gives a God-like disposition. The more you look in the word of God, the more your disposition is enclined to that of God. A disposition is a person's inherent qualities of mind and character, an inclination or tendency. OXFORD Dictionary says its the action or result of arranging things in a particular way.
That ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. The disposition to view things in the God way.

HE ALWAYS HAS A PLAN
Talk about My Lord
He Always has a plan
Mention His name
He Always has a plan
Call upon Him
He Always has aplan
My Father and my God
He Always has a plan
Elshadai, The Wonderful Conselor
He Always has a plan
They thought they had destroyed me
My Redeemer Always has a plan
They laughed in their tents saying he trusted in his God
My Refuge Always has plan
They said, he thought his God is able to save him
My Salvation Always has a plan
My enemies brought me to the wall
My Conselor Always has a plan
It was a flood the enemy came in as a flood
Jehovah Always has a plan.
Does it look dark and ugly?
Look upon the ever shining one
You think you are down and out?
Remember the giver of life
Coming to the end of the road and still no answer?
Look to the Wonderful Conselor
Who said my God cannot deliver?
Who spoke against the Holy One?
How dare you contradict my God?
He answers by fire?
Bring them bring all your cases?
Bring them bring your affliction?
Go ahead pile them heap upon heap
Stack them even, pour water even
The sacrifice is watered now
The drench of water is on the altar
They poured gallon upon gallon
Laughing, saying his God cannot save him now
My Father, My God laughs
These people are in derision
They have forgotten, their memory is short
Oh Father, how dull my enemies are
Do they not know, You Always have a plan
Do they not know, the greater the challenge, the greater the victory
The sweeter the victory, the greater the joy
I boast in my God, I glory in the One and Only God
In the living God I find comfort and strength
They thought, I am by myself, shame
They thought I have no God, shame
Look at them perish
Look at them drown
Look at them ashamed, disempowered, naked and disarmed.
My GOD LIVES FOREVER, hey HE ALWAYS HAS A PLAN
He Always has a plan
Mention His name
He Always has a plan
Call upon Him
He Always has aplan

The Year We Shine
Can you sense that? Can you see it? Can you comprehend it? Does not your heart burn within you? Does not your spirit testify?
This year we shine mwana. Arise and shine for your light has come Addie, and the glory of God has risen upon you.This year we move form victory to victory, strength to strength, joy to joy. Totoshaina mwana!
All that we prayed to God for, all that we spoke to God about, all we took to Him in prayer, all that we spoke by faith in our closet, this year we shall touch it we shall eat of it. I am excited about Twenty10. In this year there is RESTORATION. all that the cankerworm, the locust stole there is recompense by 200% up to 700%.
Oh Growth - we grow to giants this year in WISDOM, STATURE, FAVOUR WITH GOD & MEN. The necessary endowment is upon us, the necessary grace bestowed upon us. GIANTS on the earth, sons of the MOST HIGH are here.
OUTpouring of the Holy Spirit, Joel spoke we believed and it is so. Visions are ever before us and the prophetic as accurate as Br Daniel and revealed to us as such as Br John could comprehend. An open door before us - dreams forever revealing deep things and unveiling the hidden. Hauzomboda kutaurirwa hunyimwa, kuudzwa kutukwa. We taste the goodness of the Lord in our day as we see all the time. I had heard ithers mention that they are in the season of Jubilea - when for me the time has come also, behold how beatiful it is. Sweet to our taste.
I heard my spirit sing,'OSEYA, isu tatokunda. Have you heard what the Lord has done, He has destroyed the yoke of satan? He has given us the victory thats why we sing OSEYA. Takunda, isu tatokunda.' We are more than conquerors indeed. Our confidence, our boasting is in the Lord. Tinowina Chete! My Father how intimate have we become, I am glad to get to know you more and more. My Father, how I have groan to love you, how I have learnt to trust you, how I long for you. With you dad, I am alright. My life is awesome in you. With you, my great God, always with you. Lord Jesus, what a great heritage you won for us. Such grace, such everlasting love.
