The Tale of Three Hairs

Three Hairs
Author Unknown

There once was a woman who woke up one morning, looked in the mirror, and noticed she had only three hairs on her head. "Well," she said, "I think I'll braid my hair today." So she did and she had a wonderful day.

The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and saw that she had only two hairs on her head. "H-M-M, " she said, "I think I'll part my hair down the middle today." So she did and she had a grand day.

The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and noticed that she had only one hair on her head. "Well," she said, "Today I'm going to wear my hair in a pony tail." So she did and she had a fun, fun day.

The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and noticed that there wasn't a single hair on her head....

"YEAH!" she exclaimed, "I don't have to fix my hair today!"

Reflection Questions

• List three things in your life that are currently troubling you, then pick one of them. What are 2 ways in which there might be able to positively view the situation you chose?
   
• Obviously this story is trying to show us how we can maintain a positive perspective when bad things happen. If you've already answered reflection question #1, you've found how this is true in your own life as well. What is at least one other important message in this story?
   
• From question #1, take one of the two remaining situations that are troubling you. What are some humorous ways that somebody might be able to look at those situations to help ease a bit of the tension?

I hope you've enjoyed this story! Have a delightful night.

Mairo Ese Announces ”Worship of Yahweh” Album Launch and Worship Concert- @Mairo_Ese |

"There is nothing God will not do with a life that is wholly yielded to Him. When we live a life of worship, our every expression invites others to share of God to the degree that we have experienced Him. When we minister, people don't see us, they experience the God we carry."

The above is a summary of the life and ministry of fully sold out psalmist, song writer and worshipper extraordinaire Mairo Ese. From very humble beginnings, Mairo has experienced God's grace and reflects same in his exuberant worship ministry. The powerful, unforgettable result of his ministry is in his recent soul stirring single releases 'You are the Reason' (written by Chris Shalom & Victoria Orenze), 'Ole Hallelujah' ft Nathaniel Bassey and more recently 'Nani Gi' (Only You). These reflected his vocal dexterity and embodied a heavy presence of the Holy Spirit accompanied by amazing testimonies from all around the world.

With XX unforgettable tracks recorded on CD reverberating with the greatness of God, alongside anthems of surrender and praise inspiring a heart of worship, the album 'The Worship of Yahweh' is a bundle of Mairo's artistic ministry and personal walk with God. The highly anticipated worship album was produced by Rotimi Akinfenwa and Cobhams Asuquo.

Mairo is anticipating a highly charged, presence filled worship concert as he launches this album and will be ably supported by his friends Cobhams Asuquo, Nathaniel Bassey, Glowreeyah, Minister Ken, Enitan Adaba, Tosin Martins, Modele and Minister Ken alongside several other worship ministers. Also in attendance will be Rev. Obii Pax Harry. The focus is 100 percent on God and he is convinced that through the songs, lives will be changed as God is glorified

Richard Smallwood’s Beloved Hit ”Total Praise” Makes an Impact During Washington DC Visit with Pope Francis- @RichwoodMuzik

“Total Praise,” the beloved hit song from legendary Gospel Hall of Fame singer, composer and arranger Richard Smallwood – remains an enduring powerful source of strength and hope, as his hit tune was selected by the St. Augustine Gospel Choir for a special performance in Washington DC today, during the DC choir’s performance before Pope Francis at the White House on Wednesday, September 23rd. Almost 20 years since Smallwood released the song in 1996 with his ensemble Vision, “Total Praise” continues to be one of the most popular classics among choirs and fans from the prolific catalog of the longtime DC native, giving praise and comfort to millions of listeners.

“I was overjoyed to hear the news,” said Richard Smallwood. “This has to go on the list of one of the top honors of my life. It’s amazing that 20 years after ‘Total Praise’ was written it is still sung all over the world, in different languages, in secular arenas and now for the pope.”

In June, Richard Smallwood released ANTHOLOGY LIVE, a brilliant collection of 11 new songs and 3 medleys, with interludes that capture the inspiration and journey of his 40 year career. Performed with his longtime choir Vision, the new project celebrates the legendary musician’s past and confirms his mainstay in gospel music.

Nine-time GRAMMY® winning recording artist, songwriter and super producer Kirk Franklin, continues his track record of making a strong impact on popular music with the release of his new single “Wanna Be Happy?” “Wanna Be Happy?” – Franklin’s first new song in four years, from his forthcoming eleventh album, has debuted at #1 and breaks the record to become the best first-week digital single in gospel sales history.

With a first-week gospel sales record of 11,882 digital units “Wanna Be Happy?” surpasses the first week sales (11,008 units) of Franklin’s last #1 single “I Smile,” from the chart-topping Gold album HELLO FEAR.

“This is great news for both Kirk Franklin and the entire gospel genre,” said Mark Michel, VP of Sales, RCA Inspiration. “We haven’t seen first week numbers like this in gospel since his last record four years ago. We’re all very excited about this single and his forthcoming album.”

Following the debut of “Wanna Be Happy?” on the Steve Harvey Morning Show and with a live performance on the Season 8 finale of BET’s Sunday Best, Kirk Franklin has crafted a song that once again resonates with the masses, setting the stage for what he’s calling his “most intentional work” yet. Kirk Franklin’s new album is scheduled for release this November.

Featuring the singles "Just Be With Me," and the current Billboard Top 40 radio single "Not That Easy," (#1 Most Added song at Gospel radio week ending July 31) Dawson has become one of Gospel's most promising new acts for his refreshing take on the fusion of Urban and Inspirational - to craft a sound all his own.

Combining sounds from a melting pot of influences – from Israel Houghton and Fred Hammond to Stevie Wonder, John Legend, and Jill Scott - Dawson has lifted the veil on an innovative approach on his forthcoming 16-track new album melding Urban Inspirational, Pop and Gospel sounds and more with powerful lyrics. Dawson's collaboration with producers and artists that include Grammy Award Winner Aaron Sledge and the leading reciever for the NFL's Cleveland Browns, Andrew Hawkins, give listeners a full album of melodic prayers with a modern day sound.

Different Ways To Pray

The Word For Today‎

‎

‘Hezekiah received the letter…and spread it out before the Lord.’

Isaiah 37:14 NIV

Hezekiah, King of Israel, received a threatening letter from a much more powerful king - the King of Assyria. The Assyrian potentate demanded unconditional surrender, and told Hezekiah not to trust in God. The letter was graphic, warning that resistance meant the Israelites would have to ‘eat their own excrement and drink their own urine’ before they died (2 Kings 18:27 NIV). So Hezekiah went to the temple ‘and spread it out before the Lord’. Then he prayed: ‘…God of Israel, enthroned between the cherubim, You alone are God over all the kingdoms of the earth. You have made heaven and earth. Give ear, O Lord, and hear; open Your eyes, O Lord, and see…’ (Isaiah 37:16-17 NIV). 

Hezekiah literally said, ‘Lord, would you read this, then do something about it!’ And God did. Indeed, what He did was spectacular. ‘Then the angel of the Lord went out and put to death a hundred and eighty-five thousand in the Assyrian camp. When the people got up the next morning—there were all the dead bodies!’ (Isaiah 37:36 NIV).

 So, what piece of paper would you like to spread out before the Lord? A financial statement that’s overwhelming? A divorce decree? A medical diagnosis? An angry email? Any piece of paper that causes you stress can be an invitation to prayer, and a candidate to be spread out before the Lord. If it’s important to you, it’s important to Him. You say, ‘I’ve never done anything like that before.’ Try it. Give it to God, trust Him, and watch how He works things out for you.

SOV: Saviours From My Seed, Day 6

 LORD TELL ME WHO THESE CHILDREN ARE!

Gen 25:22 And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it be so, why am I thus? And she went to enquire of the LORD. And the LORD said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger.

Luk 1:76-79 And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways; To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins, Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us, To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.

Mat 1:21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.

Yes God told Mary, Elisabeth, Manoah and when Rebeccah cared to ask and find out the prophetic destiny of these offspring inside her, God told her. What has God told you about your offspring. John knew before Elizabeth was pregnant. Manoah knew before her wife conceived… Who says you cant know??? In fact you needed to have been in the know. 

How sad, that we direct the lives of children whose divine destination we do not know. Cry out to the Lord today, wether by dream, vision, revealed word or by Trance… Lord tell me about this boy, tell me about your knowledge of where this girl ought to end. Lord show me the manner of children my womb had been programmed to birth… These seemingly little informations may help you (If single) in being cautious in choosing who their father would be and help you (If married) in informing the decisions of your other partner and even the child who may not care to have enquired.

May the Lord make you aware of who you gave birth to or will give birth to… even the name. May the Lord open your eyes to see nations in children. May the Lord by mercy, give you a privileged insight in to the prophetic destiny each of your seed lest they begin to veer off their path. Pray!!

ALBUM: Trinidad and Tobago’s JahLight Records Releases ”Royal Majestic Riddim” - @jahlight

There’s light amid the darkness and despair that seem bent on transforming God’s world and that light is being reflected by some of Trinidad and Tobago’s positive, musical minds. As the year’s end looms, a positive wind will blow across the land and music will be its fuel.

In what has been described as “a project guided by the Holy Spirit of God,” comes a gospel reggae contribution aimed at positively enforcing God’s word to people across the world. Steering this new effort is Akeunde Pemberton- a music producer who’s no stranger to the positive musical movement. He’s a game changer, a believer and he’s certainly a soldier in God’s army. Together with some of the hemisphere’s most talented artistes, Pemberton has created The Royal Majestic Riddim- a full fledged gospel reggae delivery, signed, sealed and packaged with nothing but God’s love and blessings. “This riddim is our declaration to the world that Christ is indeed supreme. He is above any other and He is royal and majestic in glory and in all His splendor,” said Pemberton. His conviction about the need for this project and others he’s spearheaded in the past, is strong. “These projects are required of me. We all play a part in the business that is life. My part- my role, is clear. Together with the artistes I work with, we’ve been called on to deliver positive tunes to the people, teach them about God and what he wants from all of us. By the grace of God we’ll champion it. That’s a great cause to champion we think,” said the Jahlight record label executive.

The Royal Majestic Riddim features five artistes. From Da Gospel Diva, with her single, “Woman You’re Royal,” which features new gospel reggae sensation, Jaron Nurse, to Jas Rose who sings, “Diary of A Jesus Lover” and Jah Kiley with “Be Still”, Anointed Ones with “You Saved Me” and Designer’s Original who sings,” He Did Good”, this riddim is testimony of God’s greatness, as seen and felt by these five musicians and the creator of the riddim himself. “Everything about this project was guided by the Holy spirit of God,” said Pemberton, adding, “from the project’s name, to the artistes chosen, to the engineering process, to the artwork- it was all His work.”

The songs will be digitally distributed on September 11th via New York based music distributor, Fox Fuse and downloads will be available for purchase via Amazon, iTunes, Spotify and all other reputed digital download retailers. “We’re preparing for the creation of a video medley for this project, so supporters can look forward to that,” said Pemberton.

Jahlight Records has maintained its standing in the music business over the years. In the near future, there are similar projects to be unleashed, among them, “You’re the Reason” remix by Excellent featuring Messiah and “Never Forget My King” (re-mastered version) by Matthew Greenidge Featuring King Solomon.

Track List:

1. Jah Kiley - Be Still
2. Designer's Original - He Did Good
3. Da Gospel Diva Feat Jaron Nurse - Woman You're Royal
4. Anointed Ones - You Saved Me
5. Jas Rose - Diary of a Jesus Lover
6. Royal Majestic Version

Turn the Other Cheek!

The Word For Today!‎

‘…If someone slaps you on the right cheek, offer the other cheek also.’

Matthew 5:39 NLT

There are two ways you can respond to negative criticism. If there’s truth in it, humbly accept it and grow through it. If not, practise what Jesus taught: ‘You have heard the law that says the punishment must match the injury: “An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.” But I say…If someone slaps you on the right cheek, offer the other cheek also’ (vv 38-39 NLT). 

Sometimes a person’s criticism may actually have nothing to do with you at all; they simply feel cheated by life. And rather than take control of their heart’s dreams, they go around trying to squelch other people’s dreams in an attempt to drag them down to their own level of despair. And while it’s tempting to want to retaliate and point out their weaknesses and failures, that’s not the example Jesus set for you. Nor is it the high road you are called to take. 

‘Never pay back evil with more evil. Do things in such a way that everyone can see you are honourable. Do all that you can to live in peace with everyone’ (Romans 12:17-18 NLT). What does it mean to turn the other cheek? It means don’t let your critics get under your skin. Simply listen to them, thank them, and take their criticism with a grain of salt. Save your time and energies for those you trust, those who love you enough to tell you the truth even when it hurts. 

Someone has said, ‘You owe nothing to a critic!’ Actually, you do. Jesus said, ‘…Pray for those who persecute you!’ (Matthew 5:44 NLT).‎

Sensere @Sensere Set to Present Their First Live DVD Recording Session ”Kingdom Therapy” On Friday, September 25th

Gospel's most electrifying nine-piece South Floridian band SENSERE is set to record their first Live DVD recording session "KINGDOM THERAPY" on Friday, September 25, 2015, at Florida Memorial University's Lou Rawls Center for the Performing Arts in Miami Gardens, Florida, located at 15800 N.W. 42nd Ave with doors opening at 7p.m. Tickets are $25 and includes a free copy of their Top-50 Billboard Gospel charting independent sophomore album KINGDOM THERAPY, released earlier this year in May, 2015.

SENSERE is an award-winning gospel group hailing from Miami. Comprised of an eclectic mix of vocalists and instrumentalists that includes James "JDubb" Wright, Brian Williams, Terrell "T2" Terry, Dwayne Charlton, Darryl Efford, Charles McKay, Wildmayer Marcelin, and John Robinson, the group has taken the gospel music industry by storm since the international release of their debut studio album THE SOUL OF FUTURE WORSHIP VOLUME 1.

Their contemporary offerings – described as a fusion of rock, soul, and gospel – have earned them commercial and critical acclaim, most notably two Gospel Association Guild (GAG) Awards. Boasting the distinct honor of being the first gospel group to perform at the annual Jazz In The Gardens Festival opening for Pop Soul legends Patti LaBelle, Kenny G and Mary J Blige, other noted tastes of their live offerings have been served via national basic cable television appearances on BET's "Bobby Jones Gospel," Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN), and ABC/CBN's "The 700 Club," collectively reaching over 182.4 million American households.

The live DVD recording session is hosted by Comedian Jonathan Slocumb and will feature special guest duets by R&B Soul artist Urban Mystic and Bishop J on the noteworthy ballad "Not Hopeless," rap artist MoBlessed on the up-tempo number "Holla," and A. Randolph on the funky swing song "Radical Praise." Emerging Urban Inspirational artists Devon Baker, Zaviel Janae, and King David will serve as special guest opening acts.

Fans who have heard SENSERE's 2011 hit single, "Got Jesus," or their more recent radio single, "Love," already know their signature is more the "Soul of R&B Past" than anything futuristic. Completely produced and arranged, by singer, lead guitarist, and band founder, James "J-dubb" Wright, their well-sequenced album has a consistent and cohesive vintage sound that nicely flows between tracks. KINGDOM THERAPY is available now on all digital platforms.

SOV: Saviours From My Seed. || What Wilt Thou? ||

DAY 2 (Offspring Intercessions)… WHAT WILT THOU?

Mat 20:20 – 21: Then came to him the mother of Zebedee's children with her sons, worshipping him, and desiring a certain thing of him. And he said unto her, What wilt thou? She saith unto him, Grant that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on the left, in thy kingdom.

When Jesus saw the mother of James and John coming to Him with her children, He knew there must be something in her heart that she would have him do but Jesus did not leave the matter to guessing. He asked her a very direct and specific question…. WHAT DO YOU WANT? It sounded in my ears like WHAT EXACTLY (PRECISELY) DO YOU WANT? As though Jesus meant,”Don’t just tell me to bless your children and make them great… Tell me what you want me to do to them… WHAT EXACTLY DO YOU WANT ME TO DO WITH YOUR FIRSTBORN?

Mrs. Zebedee had great foresight. She wasn’t asking for anything for herself though it was a blank cheque but she nailed it to the core: Grant that these my two sons may sit… Peter, Matthew, Phillip, Thomas, Andrew, etc all had mothers in fact Peters mother was sick and Jesus went to heal her… She didn’t ask! Mrs. Zebedee was asking for something nobody seemed to be seeing yet. I saw a woman who wanted to settle the future of her children before she would die and didn’t mind if she herself got nothing!

These my two sons… May the Lord grant that your sons would sit with the master in eternity in Jesus name. May they be the leaders of tomorrow. May your own sons and daughters occupy the topmost positions in the society for Jesus in the name of Jesus. May they make heaven. Spiritually take each one of your offspring to Jesus Today and ask something specific concerning each one of them. 

Grant Lord that these my two sons and daugther be trained as experts and professionals in one of the best institutions in this world (all expense paid)for your purpose. Grant Lord that my seed shall occupy that government seat of my state. Grant Lord that my offspring shall lead their generation in heralding your coming. Grant Lord that all my seed shall be the righteous global leaders of their time. Ask don’t just wish!!
