the Stones & the Kingdom
The kingdom of God is likened to a stone, just as Jesus is the rejected stone which became the chief cornerstone. Believers are living stones, we are a part of God's spiritual building.
Stones are used for building, for artwork, as a part of hunting tools and as weapons of warfare.
It was a stone David used to kill Goliath!
Stones are not as useless as many of us might think.
It's interesting Jesus and the saints are likened to stones.
It's also amazing Jesus said stones would burst out and give Him worship/praise if the Jews didn't.
Why stones?
Some of us live in parts of the world where it is not uncommon to find stones on our path and grounds everyday.
Due to this, stones are seen as common and often taken for granted.
In God's kingdom, that which is seen as common, taken for granted or irrelevant can be very valuable.
It is interesting the Lord of all creation is likened to a stone, a rejected stone.
Jesus is the rejected stone that became the chief head of the corner.
This example is one of stones being used for buildings, in building constructions.
What this means is that the rejected stone became the most important stone for the construction work,
A rejected stone is the least useful stone for the purpose it was chosen for.
It is a stone that was chosen, tried and workmen or building experts concluded it doesn't qualify so it was discarded.
Man's reject is God's elect.
God is a God of the underdog.
God gives the underdog a chance.
He does this in His wisdom and mercy.
Within God's kingdom we find many individuals who were underdogs who God gave a chance, they emerged heroes of faith.
This is the spiritual mystery of stones.
Stones are the underdogs of creation many do not often see the value of.
They are often tossed away, walked on and at best played or toyed with by toddlers who pick them up from the floor not knowing any better.
It takes an artistic eye to see what can be done with a stone.
Great sculptors like Leonardo Da Vinci have sculpted beautiful images out of stone and marbles many didn't see a use for.
David the shepherd boy was a resourceful teenager who knew what to do with stones.
The stones many walked past by the brookside were potent, tried and useful weapons in the hands of the young shepherd.
With one out of the five stones he picked from the ground he cracked the skull of Goliath, liberating the whole nation from the intimidation of the giant who had kept them in fear for forty days.
Stones are easily taken for granted, left on the floor, trampled upon, without discernable use.
Some heroes of faith can identify with that, that is how they were seen and treated by man but God had other plans
But the same stones we see daily and take for granted have lots of potential.
They can be cleaned, polished and used as part of artworks.
The same stone that was on the ground and not put to good use today can suddenly become an object of value or part of a treasure!
When cleaned and polished up their value is appreciated, their beauty is seen, and their usefulness discerned.
There's nothing God has made and which exists today that doesn't have any usefulness.
The question is, can you discern the purpose or usefulness of what you have around you?
Can you see or recognize what others cant?
The same builders who rejected the stone that became the chief head of the corner were the ones who went back to fetch the rejected stone they discarded after discovering its usefulness, after seeing where it fits, after discovering its value and where it should go in the building construction. It turned out the most useful stone, in the most important position!
Jesus was rejected by His own, spat on, left to die, beaten and bruised yet He forgave defied death and the grave, rose like a phoenix and sits in the most exalted position!
He knows what underdogs feel and He has experienced their story.
When we are translated into the kingdom of God, our Creator who knows us and sees the usefulness in us that man often misses takes us and places us where we fit, where our value is noticed and our glory manifests.
The kingdom of God is the place to be!
God has a way of taking the beggar from the dunghill and setting him up among princes.
That boy, girl, man or woman you are taking for granted today because of their present state just might be diamonds in the mud, precious stones who will shine with a bit of encouragement, direction, help and guidance.
They are precious stones in the hand of God!

Do Phoenix Exist?
The legendary phoenix is an intriguing creature.
The phoenix is a mythological bird for many, that resurrects, a mortal bird whose life is renewed in fire.
The phoenix is renewed to new life and a new existence after it's old life is burnt away.
I believe phoenix exist.
The life of Jesus the Christ was very phoenix like in that He resurrected.
The phoenix is a bird associated with renewal and resurrection power which Jesus Christ and His Holy Spirit produces and gives.
The phoenix's intrigue and uniqueness is that it is associated with fire, a burning bird!
With similarities to an eagle, the phoenix renews itself even as an eagle does when the eagle flies on to the highest mountain top it can find to undergo renewal to emerge almost brand new.
The phoenix also undergoes renewal from what can be seen as its death.
Phoenix are as real as eagles are!
If eagles exist, phoenix exist!
There is something very spiritual about the phoenix just like eagles are.
A phoenix is a more dainty, colorful, elegant version of the eagle, it's structure and elegance makes it have a certain peacock like kind of form.
The phoenix is associated with immortality.
Human beings have spirits and our spirit man is our true essence which is immortal like our God- the Father of all spirits the immortal One.
The phoenix is associated with fire, flames of fire.
Fire is one of the symbols or representations of the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit as flames or tongues of fire appeared on the head of all those in the upper room on the day of Pentecost which is believed to be the day of the church's birth.
The phoenix rises from the ashes.
Like the phoenix, God would have us shake the 'ashes' off our lives and rise out of them.
Ashes can represent anything negative from sin, the flesh, the works of the enemy, our unpleasant past, the enemy's bites and attack e.t.c
The phoenix is also associated with healing.
It's believed the tears of the phoenix brings healing.
God heals us through the stripes of Jesus Christ.
He heals us emotionally, physically, and spiritually, He heals every area of lives where we need healing, He does it in faith, with His word, by our belief and sometimes in time.
The phoenix is a symbol of rebirth.
The new birth or born again is rebirth in its simplest definition.
It is God making all things new in our lives, it is being born anew by God's spiritual adoption.
The phoenix in some cultures, particularly the Egyptian culture is linked to the sun.
The rays of the sun is good for our bodies, our health, our earth, the plants and animals.
Jesus is called the Sun of righteousness whose wings has rays that bring healing.
The phoenix is linked to resurrection and eternal life.
Jesus is the resurrection and the life!
He is the resurrection and the life not just by words but by action and life's experience!
He is the giver of eternal life and resurrects the dead for He is the God of the living not the dead!
Obviously the phoenix is a very useful birth with many attributes and correlations to the essences of the Christian faith.
These are not mere coincidences, the phoenix is as real as dragons are, they are as real as unicorns are, they are as real as aliens are, they are as real as the dinosaurs were, they are as real as angels are, and they are as real as the kingdom of God; even the kingdom of heaven is.
I'm sure the phoenix will be a special bird in the kingdom of heaven, having a special place to the Lord among the birds of heaven.
God loves birds.
He created them, He provides for them.
May we rise to new heights, new life, and new glories like a phoenix by the spirit, even Spirit of God.

The Thrill Of Freedom
We can all probably remember moments from our childhood season, days when we got excited about being free to do certain things we wanted to do when we were children.
It doesn't take as much to make children happy as it does to get adults excited.
Simple things can get children thrilled, it could be things as easy as their parents granting them permission to go and play outdoors with their friends, buying them a toy they've always wanted or getting them a treat/snack.
It seems children get thrilled about life more easily and much faster than adults do.
It would also seem the older we get the harder it is to get to those levels of thrill we used to feel as children. That's one of the many wonderful qualities children have- a zest for life!
It's no far fetched why the good Book enlightens us that we must be like little children to enter the kingdom of heaven.
Children are wonderful creations of God.
They can be hilarious, they give us a sense of purpose as parents, they give us something to look forward to and they continue our lineage after we are gone.
We adults have to do better with regards to catching up on the thrills and joy of life, in a positive sense.
Freedom brings a thrill and excitement.
For adults our hobbies are some of the things that bring us happiness and pleasure.
Bikers have a fascination with motorcycling.
Motorcycling is a sport that can be addictive, ask those who are into it!
There's a thrill and joy it brings to the rider, and a great feel of freedom.
The movement and maneuvering of the bike, the speed, the sights, the sounds, the sense of risk and a huge thrill of the wind blowing against the riders face are reasons motorcyclists enjoy the sport.
Not to mention the admiration you get for having a nice set of wheels, a beautiful bike!
The excitement children display when they are in their heightened state of joy can be likened to the thrill bikers feel when riding their motorcycles.
That is the feel and thrill of freedom.
That is what it means to be free after being bound so long, limited so long, caged so long, and denied for so long.
In Galatians 5 verse 1 we are told Jesus set us free and we should not be entangled again with yokes of bondage.
The excitement children feel when they get what they have longed for is unhindered, they let it out, even if it's for the simplest or most basic of things.
It is similar to how bikers feel on a good day as they ride their bikes on a clear highway or road, when the weather is great.
These examples can also be compared to how we feel when we give our lives to the Lord.
The knowledge that we are free, that we are not weighted down by sin any longer, that we have been granted a clean slate, and our past and mistakes is not held against us is very liberating!
Many testify to feeling lighter, happier, and relieved after giving their lives to Jesus Christ.
It can be a very exhilarating and exciting feeling and experience.
Such is the thrill of freedom!
That's how God would have us feel and live regularly-with a zest and an excitement for life.
I hope and pray you capture it if you have lost it.
Jesus Christ sets free.
