Finding God

And when a human being does find God, there is experienced within the soul of that being such an indescribable restlessness of triumph in discovery that he is impelled to seek loving service-contact with his less illuminated fellows, not to disclose that he has found God, but rather to allow the overflow of the welling-up of eternal goodness within his own soul to refresh and ennoble his fellows.

How can we know that a divine Spirit lives within us, guiding us through daily life toward an unknown destiny?

Paul Kemp Administrator — Mon, 16 Oct 2017 01:57:47 +0000

How can we know that a divine Spirit lives within us, guiding us through daily life toward an unknown destiny?

"Unless a divine lover lived in man, he could not unselfishly and spiritually love. Unless an interpreter lived in the mind, man could not truly realize the unity of the universe. Unless an evaluator dwelt with man, he could not possibly appraise moral values and recognize spiritual meanings. And this lover hails from the very source of infinite love; this interpreter is a part of Universal Unity; this evaluator is the child of the Center and Source of all absolute values of divine and eternal reality."

Let us fill our hearts with love!

Rev. Abegunde Julius Taiwo. — Fri, 13 Oct 2017 02:39:29 +0000

Let us fill our hearts with love.

Love for ourselves and others. For it is with love we can be grateful for everything, every person and all that we have in our life that raises our resonance and vibration and brings us peace, abundance and spiritual joy.

Love is a frequency, a vibration in the depth of our true beingness, the essence of all of us, it is simply a beingness, a connection to the Christ Consciousness of love that resides in each and every wonderful and glorious soul who inhabits our planet.
The Great Thinker.

We need to give thanks to the Universe as we witness Its mighty works and faithfulness every day. As we have a faithful God who never fails, we could only praise His wonderful name and glorify Him by making known His unfailing love for all of us throughout the world.

May we know the full extent of our worth and deserving, by opening to receive all that our heart desires.

Amen.

Abegunde Julius Taiwo.

We are all blessed to be a blessing to others.

Rev. Abegunde Julius Taiwo. — Wed, 11 Oct 2017 16:15:13 +0000

We are all blessed to be a blessing to other.

Even though we may forget to notice, we are all blessed in life. And we also have blessings to give. When we have good feelings towards others, encourage & empower them, we bless. And when we do, the blessings return a thousand-fold. Bless & be blessed.

Eternal Heights: "...the God of heaven has sent his spirit to live within you...this spirit will lead all truth-loving and God-serving mortals out of this life and through the portals of death up to the eternal heights of light..."

The Urantia Book, (133:4.4) .

Almighty and everlasting God, from whom cometh every good and perfect gift , Send down upon our planet and upon every Light workers committed to goodness for the whole that they may truly please thee, pour upon them the continual dew of thy
blessings continually .

May God Almighty bless us and make us fruitful and increase our numbers until we become a community of peoples. -Genesis 28:3.
Amen.

Abegunde Julius Taiwo.

Contentment and Joy.

Rev. Abegunde Julius Taiwo. — Tue, 10 Oct 2017 02:00:58 +0000

Contentment and Joy.

“It was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.” (Jude 1:3)

"Seek not, then, for false peace and transient joy but rather for the assurance of faith and the sureties of divine sonship which yield composure, contentment, and supreme joy in the spirit."Jesus, The Urantia Book, (149:5.4)

After Jude had responded to the Holy Spirit’s prompting to direct his thoughts away from writing a gospel account, the intensity of the growing battle for “the faith” came into focus. Perhaps Jude was aware of Paul’s observation that we do not “wrestle” against ordinary forces, but our battle deals with the “spiritual wickedness in high places” (Ephesians 6:12).

May we all rely and depend on the responsibility of the Holy Spirit to “guide us like apostles of the Bible as we are the apostles of the now into all truth” (John 16:13).

Amen.

Abegunde Julius Taiwo.

CHALLENGES THAT WE FACE AT HOPE ORPHANS CENTRE-IGANGA AND OUR PLANS

It’s our humble request to all our beloved brothers and sisters struggling with us to make the life of the orphaned children at Hope Orphans Centre-Iganga in Iganga district better. Glory and honor be to the Lord. Our children had a wonderful and happy Christmas, greetings thanks to all our friends who helped us to make these children happy. We have 25 children living with us here and with the help of God, they are all happy with us.
I would like to share with friends the challenges that we face at the orphanage and in running the orphanage.

CHALLENGES

1. Limited space for the children. The children lack enough space where they sleep and they pray. Our ground is very small.
2. We also lack a permanent home where we can live with the children.
3. The children move 1 ½ kilometers to reach the nearby school which in return does not provide quality education and it’s the same distance they move to reach the church.
5. Food at times is scarce and very expensive more so during the dry season.
6. Limited land for agriculture.
7. Limited finance for education, food among many more.
4. Most of the recently adopted children sleep on local carpets and only very few are sharing mattresses.

PLANS

1. We plan to buy land where we can build enough structures, school and a church such that the children can get quality education. We need two structures one for boys and one for girls.
2. We also plan to practice agriculture on a large scale such that we can get some food from our own gardens to reduce the high expenses on food.
3. We also plan if we get money to buy food for stock such that it can be used in the periods of food scarcity.
4. It’s also in our plan to set up poultry projects such that our children can be able to have eggs and chicken for eating and attain a balanced diet. We can also sell off some during difficult periods to meet agent needs for the children.
We require you guidance, support and the help of God to turn our dreams to reality.

Comment, like and share to spread our mission. I wish you all a happy and blessed 2018.
