The word for today is - Stay !

Good morning,

The word for today is - Stay !

The Lord of Host is calling out to you; to stay faithful, to stay committed, to stay the course, to work the plan, and to keep your mind and heart pure.We must continue the path he has set for us despite the bumps in the road. We must stay strong in Him. To do this, we must eliminate all seeds of doubt by becoming solidly rooted in the confidence that God is faithful to His word.We must act decisively on misgiving by recalling the Lord's past faithfulness.We must remember His promises by meditating on his Word.We grow our faith through his word daily, He is always present with his Children.This assures us that we are not alone in our battles, challenges, or setbacks.Choose to believe and trust, God for his promises,His word is true.The God we serve is Faithful. The situations we view as mountainous are nonexistent in the Lord's eyes. Just know that everything you go through is going to workout for your good. Read Psalm 37:25,I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread. The Lord will use every situation to build character, to demonstrate His Glory,you will come out of the situations refined, reformed and most of all redeemed. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

The word for today is - Forgiveness !

Good morning,

The word for today is - Forgiveness ! 

 

Do you not know that forgiveness starts in the heart? Read John 3:16,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. Then the word tells us there is no greater love then this. Wow! So,let us give God thanks for while we were still sinners, "He loved us"and died for us,read Romans 5:7-8,For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. How Awesome is that? He payed the price for us (the believers),God has forgiven us, read Jeremiah 31:34, And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the Lord: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more. He chooses not to bring them up again! Let us understand that God loves us and He wants us to love one another and move forward, Matthew 18:33-35, Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellow servant, even as I had pity on thee? And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him. So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses. The only way for us to grow in Christ is to be more like Him, we must study His word so we can grow! Let us not judge one another, but forgive one another and pray for one another. Don't be Hypocrisy or a hypocrite,read 1 John 4:20,If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? So let us think about Michael Jackson song,take a look at the man in the mirror first, the bible says, that you are a hypocrite. First you should ask God to forgive you and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye. Read Matthew 7:1-5, Judge not, that ye be not judged.For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye. Remembering that our sins are forgiven should make it easier for us to forgive others. Anyone that can not forgive another is not walking by the spirit of God. We should be walking by the fruit of the Spirit, read Galatians 5:22-23, But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. Heavenly Father, let us learn to be more like you. Let us lay aside our feelings and choose your ways. Let us do everything by your word, by your principles. Let us seek your Godly Counsel. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !  

 

The word for this weekend is - Impact !

The word for this weekend is - Impact !

Have you ever thought of the impact that you bring into someones life? Our presence should impact those around us daily.Everybody deserves somebody who can help them look forward to tomorrow. No matter what you're doing, try to find something beautiful around you daily.God designed us ( the believers) for and with a purpose in mind. Don’t change who you are for anyone else! Life is not about making others happy all the time , it is about being true to God's word. Life is about being honest and sharing the truth with others.We should walk worthily of the calling to which "we are called ( the believers),” by God to do a good work. It is the mandate giving to us by the power of God, to manifest itself for His Glory. The “calling” is God’s invitation to the people, so we must speak about His goodness and His grace daily, Acts 2:38-39,Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.Those who respond to the message, and submit in obedience, are designated as the “called". It is about oneness in Christ Jesus, there is “one God and Father of all, who is over all, and through all, and in all,”He has a plan working through us ,read Colossians 1:16,For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him. For his glory, we are designed! We are the people ( the believers) who are accountable to God, to partake of the blessings of the Kingdom of Heaven into a relationship with Christ, read 2 Thessalonians 2:14,Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. We all need to remember that we deserve the best and keep pushing or moving forward. Who can we (the believers) call on for help? Jesus!  The question is how can they call on him to save them unless they hear the word of God, without a preacher? Read Romans 10:14,How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? They can not ! All who believe in him, will worship him. God doesn’t create anything without value. He is the ultimate craftsman. And he designed you specifically to fulfill a unique role in his ultimate plan to establish his kingdom on earth. God designed us to make a difference in other people's life! You have a Kingdom Service within you, which causes us to totally depend on God. Your Kingdom Service is always more than a career. It is a special commissioning from God to make a significant difference here on this earth. Are you making a difference in someones life? For most of us, however, finding and fulfilling our Kingdom Service means discovering how God wants us to minister to the people daily.Heavenly Father, we thank you for all that you have done for us and within us. We say,Yes to the assignment that you have giving to us today. We will make a impact by speaking the word of God wherever we go. Each one of us is intentionally shaped to fulfill the specific plan of God.We will glorify you here on earth.We praise your Holy Name! Thank you Lord for your word. Amen ! 

The word for today is - Wealth !

Good morning,

The word for today is - Wealth !

 

So many people are seeking to become rich and famous.The reason so many people are unhappy and unfulfilled, is because they have been taught by the world to seek these things in all of the wrong places.We should always seek the will of God first, just like Jesus did daily in prayer! Let us seek the kingdom of God first, read Matthew 6:33,But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. We should know that biblical perspective on wealth and poverty are important for the people of God to do the will of God for the poor. You see if we are to fulfill our responsibilities to the poor, we need money. We should first acknowledge that God is the Creator of all, whether we are rich or poor, we must acknowledge God's provision in our lives first. In the book of Job we learn that God allowed Satan to test Job by bringing misfortune upon him, just for a season, read Job 1:12,And the Lord said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the Lord. You see it was a lesson for Job, to see if He (Job) would praise God in the good and the bad days. You see God turned everything around for Job and blessed Him,the Lord restored his fortune.We can see the power of prayer here, Job was praying for His friends, but God blessed Job also once again with material possessions, and His friends, read Job 42:10-11,And the Lord turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before.Then came there unto him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, and did eat bread with him in his house: and they bemoaned him, and comforted him over all the evil that the Lord had brought upon him: every man also gave him a piece of money, and every one an earring of gold.  For those who bless the poor, God promises to bless them, read Proverbs 14:20-22,The poor is hated even of his own neighbour: but the rich hath many friends.He that despiseth his neighbour sinneth: but he that hath mercy on the poor, happy is he.Do they not err that devise evil? but mercy and truth shall be to them that devise good. But, He promises to judge those who oppress the poor, read Proverbs 17:4-5,A wicked doer giveth heed to false lips; and a liar giveth ear to a naughty tongue.Whoso mocketh the poor reproacheth his Maker: and he that is glad at calamities shall not be unpunished. We must always help one another, you must get some understanding first, God has a great love for the poor, the fatherless and the widows, read Deuteronomy 10:17-18,For the Lord your God is God of gods, and Lord of lords, a great God, a mighty, and a terrible, which regardeth not persons, nor taketh reward:He doth execute the judgment of the fatherless and widow, and loveth the stranger, in giving him food and raiment. This is the power and will of God, read Deuteronomy 8:18,But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.  Ask yourself are you giving all that you have to help someone else? Do you know the story of the Widow's Offering? She had two coins and she gave her best and last. Jesus said to his disciples, she gave more then all of the other people. Some people may be asking why? because she gave from her heart, they gave from their wealth. Read Mark 12:41-44, And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much. And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing. And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury: For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living. She was giving to God her best! Let us trust in the word of God, the bible says, for the believers you should not trust in wealth, but trust in God, read Proverbs 11:4, Riches profit not in the day of wrath: but righteousness delivereth from death. Also, Proverbs 11:28, He that trusteth in his riches shall fall; but the righteous shall flourish as a branch. Let us pray together, Heavenly Father what is your will for us today! Let us touch someones life today with a word of life. Let us build up one another today, let us change a negative attitude into a positive one today by your word. For this is the day which the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. Wealth and honor come from you; you are the ruler of all things. In your hands are strength and power to exalt and give strength to all. We give you all the praise and honour today Lord! Thank you for your word. Amen ! 

The word for today is - Studying !

Good morning,

The word for today is - Studying !

 

The question for today is should we study __? I believe the word of God it says, we should study so we can rightly or correctly  speak or teach the truth. Read 2 Timothy 2:15, Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. Understand this we can not let our feels or our emotions move us,all scripture comes from our Heavenly Father, it is divine ! Some people are more interested in making friends than disciples, more interested in pleasing mankind than God. We are accountable for every word we speak, this is a warning from God, read Ezekiel 3:20-21,Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumbling-block before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand.Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul.We need to stay in the face of God, ask for help, pray for the Holy Spirit to give you understanding over every situation you are facing. Ask the Holy Spirit to guide you by the word of God. Let us get some understanding of the Holy Spirit.The Bible indicates that the Holy Spirit is our Counselor, it is the Spirit of God with us and in us ( the believers), read John 16:13, Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. The way to know about God is to read and study His word . The bible will speak to you  and tell you who He (God) is and what He expects of you. The better you know His word, the better equipped you are for everything that happens in your life. How can you trust someone that you don't know? Understand this, when you study the word of God ( the bible), it is every word that God spoke through mankind to write, read 2 Timothy 3:16-17, All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. Every word was given by the divine Spirit of God. In the Old Testament,"the men and women only spoke as the influence of the Holy Ghost was upon them. ?" If you have not read and studied God's word then you will just have your own opinions and your own thoughts about God that are not based on the truth that He has revealed in His word. As you study God's word you create a solid foundation for the things you believe that you can share with others.Heavenly Father let us your people learn from your word. Let us grow to know you, let us get a deeper understanding of your word. Heavenly Father we need to hear from you, we need a word from you today. Amen ! Thank you Lord for your word. Amen ! 

The word for today is - Good !

Good morning,

The word for today is - Good !

How many times have you heard someone say,Don’t worry; everything will workout for your good? We must learn to wait for the Spirit to lead us,God is our first and foremost authority that must be respected. Some people have know understanding of waiting for the move of God, to work on our behalf. We must first hear from God in order to move forward,we must trust Him and His timing. God never promised us anything, but a numbered days in our mortal lives, and that if we put our trust and faith in Him, He will give us eternal lives with Him.You see God's timing is not like our timing! You see,trusting in the Lord to watch over our life and supply all our “needs” in a timely and effective manner will take sometime.God only moves in agreement with His will, not our will. He is in control of everything, read I John 5:14-15,And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him. Understand this, God knows the pain of suffering that everyone is feeling,God never told us that we would never have pain. He told us that when it comes to living with mortal pain and disappointment, we must know in our hearts that we are living out His plan for us, the greatest mystery of all, and praise Him more. He is the only one who can truly understand and comfort us! Read Romans 8:28,And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. Read it again, all this is for your benefit, it is a blessing ! Now ask yourself, do you have faith in God? The word of God says, without faith you can not please Him, read Hebrews 11:6,But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. You must understand that  Enoch in verse five had faith in God, it says, By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.(NIV),By faith Enoch was taken from this life, so that he did not experience death: “He could not be found, because God had taken him away." For before he was taken, he was commended as one who pleased God.We are making choices every day, who do you believe? Don't question God just trust Him, read Proverbs 3:5-6,Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.Heavenly Father, we come to you at the throne of grace. Forgive us for not turning to you for understanding,the pain that your people are feeling today!  Father some people don’t think that they are good enough, or worthy enough for you to listen to them this is not true! God does not look at you and think you are too unworthy for Him to help and reward you. Jesus pay the price for us, He became sin for all mankind, paying the price for all transgressions. Jesus did it all. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

The word for today is - Corporate Prayer !

Good morning,

The word for today is - Corporate Prayer !

 

Understand that all people suffer, whether or not they are good or bad. Everyone has troubles, we all face problems, afflictions, suffering,hardship and pain! The question is? who or what do you turn to for help__? We all need someone that can help us in the time of trouble.We are the people of God who have the power within us to change somethings, the people should be looking to the children of God! For we are the church, people of God stand up, speak the word of God to the people, tell them that God is in control of everything. All they need to do is believe that Jesus is the Son of God, read John 3:16,For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. In the beginning of time, God created the heavens and the earth,(Genesis 1:1),He has all power. It is time for the people of God to come together in corporate prayer.Trouble is looming all around us daily, we need to dependent on our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. One of the wisest things we can do in the midst of the storm is to turn to the one that knows the beginning and the end. You see when trouble comes,we need to keep the faith in Him,keep your eye's on Him, don't turn away. The Bible says we will all go through tribulations here on earth. Also, there is an end time of tribulation, but not all of us will go through it. For those that do, the times will be hard, with much suffering and pain.The bible is clear it says, that the suffering we go through, will all be nothing more then a moment, read 2 Corinthians 4:17-18,For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal. Understand that trials defeat some people, but strengthen others. Suffering causes Spiritual Growth for some, it will teach us ( the true believers) how to dependent on God, but for others they will turn away from God. Satan puts trials in our lives to harm us, but God makes them come out in the end for our good , read Romans 8:28, And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. Let us be like Paul, who didn't trust in himself, he turned to God, his affliction's did not overtake him, read 2 Corinthians 1:8-11,For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure, above strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life:But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead:Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us;Ye also helping together by prayer for us, that for the gift bestowed upon us by the means of many persons thanks may be given by many on our behalf.This is showing all people their need for God.Understand that corporate prayer is an important part of our life, because it creates unity and it is us moving by the Spirit of God's will, one mind and one spirit,and in love for one another. Read Psalm 34:19, Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all. It says, all not some! Let us turn to the Lord everyday, just like Jesus did,seeking the Lord's will. Let us pray together for one another, Heavenly Father, we all turn to you for your will to be done here on earth. Let us seek the things that are eternal, we need to hear from you everyday! Our hearts are trouble,are family's and love ones are going through pain, the nations are going through help us Lord. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.We need a word from you today Lord, Heavenly Father give us the  strength we need to be faithful despite the problems.Give us the ability to take the  problems and use them to accomplish the good works of you and to praise your Holy Name. For all Glory and Honor Belongs to you Lord ! Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !   

The word for today is - Unity !

Good morning,

The word for today is - Unity !

 

When the Bible talks about unity, it is always referring to being unified in Christ.If your focus is on Christ and obedience to the word, you will always have unity with those walking by the Spirit of God, and that Spirit is Love! Let us read 1 Corinthians 12:12-14,For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.For the body is not one member, but many. Without unity with Christ, unity with each other means nothing! Read 1 Corinthians 1:10,Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. We are instructed to have the same mind and same judgment. It is the mind of Christ that we must have in order to have unity.Our foundation must be in Christ Jesus, read 1 Corinthians 2:14-16,But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? but we have the mind of Christ.We need to study the scriptural principles of unity so that we can understand unity and apply ourselves to applying these principles to our lives.Another important principle to follow is that you and I don’t judge right and wrong, we only judge whether something aligns with the truth of God’s word.Those who are walking in the flesh will try to judge those who are standing upon the word, but God will not accept that condemnation. In fact, God will reward those who stand firm even when they are condemned for keeping God’s ways.We need unity in order to do the will of God.The bible instructs us to be unified by sound biblical doctrine, read Ephesians 4:11-16,And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love. God has giving us the five fold ministry to equip his people for works of service,for the purpose of edifying the Body of Christ so that we can come together into unity. Let us live a life worthy of the calling by the Spirit of God,each one of us (the believers)has been given grace by God.Read Ephesians 4:1-7, I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;One Lord, one faith, one baptism,One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.We need one another, in order to grow in Christ, let us encourage one another !  Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

    

The word for this weekend is - Thoughts!

The word for this weekend is - Thoughts!

 

Let our thoughts and prayers be for the family's and victims of Aurora Colorado, let us pray together by the word of God. Every believer in our modern world is under constant satanic pressure and attack today. Let us take some time out and focus on a group of individuals who are in need of prayer today. Let us show some love towards one another today, let us pray! The question for this weekend is what is on your mind, what is holding you back? In other words, what are you bound to or in bondage to? The bible says, many people are bound to darkness, because they are unequally yoked or associates with those who are unbelievers,read 2 Corinthians 6:14, Be you not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship has righteousness with unrighteousness? and what partnership has light with darkness? Nothing!!! Let us get understanding about this verse, we are in this world with unbelievers,as we walk by the law of God we are a blessed people.We need balance in our life, if we seek God's word then and only then, will we have balance! Let us get some understanding first without Him, there is no balance! Why ? Because, the god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, read 2 Corinthians 4:4,In whom the god of this age has blinded the minds of them who believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. Satan is directly affected the mind of people, his mission or assignment is to seduce, mislead, deceive, and entice the people. He is the god of this world,he has blinded the minds of them which believe not. He is the Prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience. For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world,read Ephesians 6:12,For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in heavenly places. We must renew our minds daily, the word tells us that we should meditate on the word of God daily, read Joshua 1:8,This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. By praying ,reading and studying the word everyday. God has given every man a measure of faith to move and operate with the ability to become a high achiever. Do you not know that your thoughts can put you into a state of being, sad or happy, where you can be expanding spiritual growth, multiply, and increase in God or depressed by the worldly statistics and bound to Satan.God needs your agreement with Him for his will to be done on earth, the devil needs your agreement also with Him in order to work. If you agree with God for His good, you will get good things. If you agree with the devil your seeking bad things. You'll be surprised to learn that everything begins within with a thought, and your thoughts become things manifested. If something comes to your mind that does not match up with the word of God, it's not God. If you stand by the word of God you can cast down anything that is not like God. We must not be conformed to this world, but we must be transformed by the renewing of our mind, that we must prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

The word for today is - Waiting !

Good morning,

The word for today is - Waiting !

 

Do you have a desire to wait on the Lord ? The word of God says, those who wait on the Lord ,He will renew their strength, read Isaiah 40:31,But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. The word of God says, if you delight yourself in me you will be blessed, read Psalm 37:4,Delight thyself also in the Lord: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. In other words trust Him with all of your heart! Don't walk around being stiff-necked or a rebellious group of people,why? Because,we don't have to exist in the wilderness until the Lord takes us home,read Exodus 33:3, Unto a land flowing with milk and honey: for I will not go up in the midst of you; for you are a stiff-necked people: lest I consume you in the way. You see the  people mourned for their sin, so God departure from them, He was displeased with them. Read Numbers 11:1, And when the people complained, it displeased the Lord: and the Lord heard it; and his anger was kindled; and the fire of the Lord burnt among them, and consumed them that were in the uttermost parts of the camp. They complained about the food,read Numbers 11:4-6, And the mixt multitude that was among them fell a lusting: and the children of Israel also wept again, and said,Who shall give us flesh to eat? We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlick: But now our soul is dried away: there is nothing at all, beside this manna, before our eyes.You have to understand Jesus said, I came that they might have life, and have it abundantly.We don't have to wait until our physical deaths to enjoy it. The abundant life that Jesus wants us to experience, it is a life of peace, joy ,Love and satisfaction in the Him. Are you wander in the wilderness?  Let us not become weary in doing good, read Galatians 6:9,And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.The word of God says, remember my word, read 2 Corinthians 4:8,We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

 

 

The word for today is - Present!

Good morning,

The word for today is - Present!

 

Do you not know that God is an ever present help? When you are feeling powerless or helpless who do you turn to__? You should turn to God,read Psalm 46:1-7,God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High.God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early.The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted.The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah. God is a refuge for His people! Do you not know that God is in control of your life? There is not an area in your life that God will not be willing to help you with. You see we have a helper that dwells from within us, it is called the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost job is to help us in every single area of our life. He is always in control , understand this, when you are walking by the Spirit of God, He will guide your footsteps. He has a divine plan for your life, all you need to do is know that God is in control of your life, just be still, read Psalm 46:10,Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth. We must acknowledge that the Lord is God,and there is none like Him, read Psalm 100:3,Know you that the LORD he is God: it is he that has made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. For we (the believers) are His people, let us praise His Holy Name forever!!! We must acknowledge thee as our God, our true and living God. Amen ! Read Psalm 79:13, So we your people and sheep of your pasture will give you thanks forever: we will show forth your praise to all generations. We are your sheep and you are our Shepherd forever more, and we give you Lord all the honour and all the praise to your Holy Name! Let me give you something to cling onto today,He is always faithful to His word, read Psalm 91: 1-16,He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

 

 

The word for today is - Fullness !

Good morning,

The word for today is - Fullness !

My prayer for the believers, Heavenly Father, I come before you at the throne of grace this morning, Father we need to be filled with your fullness ( your Spirit)! Let us get some understanding of the desire of God, He wants to fill us with the fullness of Himself ! Now we know that God is a Spirit right? Some may be thinking about a ghost, your on point, it is the Holy Ghost. He is a loving and kind Spirit, He is the Spirit of good not evil. And the bible says, those who worship Him, must worship Him by Spirit and truth, and now the time has come,  read John 4:21-23, Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. There is no other way we can worship God, read that again, He is seeking you ! Now, let me make it plain for you it says, a time is coming, well the time is now, we must turn to God and worship Him! If we keep quiet the rocks will cry out to Him. Some of you know that this is the word of God and others don't know, read Luke 19:38-40, Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest. And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples. And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out. Do not be foolish, we are not granted the option of directing our own ways,we should look to Him for guidance and direction. He sent His only Son Jesus to reveal to us, His love.We need to renew our minds daily on the things above and meditate on God’s word  daily. We are alive in Christ Jesus read Colossians 3:1-3, If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. Let us humble ourselves,read Matthew 5:7-9, Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. Jesus promises to reveal Himself to the believers . He also promises that He and the Father will come and make their home with the person who keeps His Word. God’s desire is to fill you with all the fullness of Himself. Many of you are feeling the Lord calling you into a more holy and intimate relationship with Him. Many of you feel a deep desire to be filled with all the fullness of God, don't walk in fear, trust Him you have been ordained by God before you were born,read John 15:16, You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that you should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever you shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it to you. God has done a good work in you before the foundation of the world.It is the Lord Himself who gave you that desire, to enter into the most holy place.When Jesus was crucified the veil in the temple was torn in two, from the top down. We now have access to the heart of God, we have been restore back to God. Let us pray, Heavenly Father , not my will, but what is your will for us today?  God has chosen and called us as partners to accomplish His will on earth, pray for the Father’s will, to be done on earth as it is in heaven. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace asking to understand His love and will for us, read Ephesians 3:16-19,That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man:That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen!

The word for today is - Awesome !

Good morning,

The word for today is - Awesome !

 

This morning, I would like to say thank you Lord for being so Awesome ! You woke me up this morning and started me on my way, think about that for a second! He didn't have to, but He did ! Why? You see God has a plan for you today, it is His will for you to live another day. God is always up to something, for our good. So, let us walk by the spirit of God today and show some love towards one another, let us be friendly today, read Philippians 2:1-4, If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies, Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. In other words do everything by the spirit of Love ! This is the day that the Lord has made let us rejoice and be glad in it, read Psalm 118:24,This is the day which the LORD has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. Why would you not rejoice? Father , I rejoice in you, God has been everything to me, He is my source, my provider, my healer, my deliverer, my savior, my friend and so much more! He has called us friends, what a friend we have in Jesus! We need to keep our expectation upon God to avoid unnecessary frustration, disappointment and anger with people. God is our supplier, resource and helper in every situation, hold on to the hand of God, hold on to every spoken word of God. God's word is truth and life and He can not lie. His word shall not return unto himself void, It is never spoken in vain, and never fails to produce the effect which he intend, read Isaiah 55:11, So shall my word be that goes forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it. God said, My word, It shall not return to me without accomplishing that which I intend. How, awesome is that? The word of God says, He will never leave you or forsake you, read Deuteronomy 31:8,And the Lord, he it is that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed. All you need to do is call on Him, He is right there at all times. Speak the word over yourself, encourage yourself in the Lord like David. Do you know the story of David in the bible? David was forced to encourage himself when he was faced with a devastating setback,read 1 Samuel 30:1-6,And it came to pass, when David and his men were come to Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekites had invaded the south, and Ziklag, and smitten Ziklag, and burned it with fire;And had taken the women captives, that were therein: they slew not any, either great or small, but carried them away, and went on their way. So David and his men came to the city, and, behold, it was burned with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, were taken captives.Then David and the people that were with him lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more power to weep. And David's two wives were taken captives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite. And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the Lord his God. God’s main goal in these trying times is to bring us closer to Him. He wants us to depend on Him for the solution rather than simply relying on ourselves because we can make the problem worse. God is saying, each day is a new day, just lean on me (JESUS).We should encourage ourselves by renewing our hearts and mind, read Psalm 62: 5- 11,My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him. He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved. In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah. Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: to be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity.Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God. All power comes from God, He said, I know the plans I have for you, read Jeremiah 29:11, For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Our God is Awesome !!!  Thank you Lord for your word. Amen!

The word for today is - Searching !

Good morning,

The word for today is - Searching  !

 

Are you searching for the truth__? If you are searching for the truth, then you should be reading the word of God or searching  for information by the word of God. The word of God says, He is the truth and life, read John 14:6, Jesus said unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes unto the Father, but by me. In other words you can not enter in any other way, read John 10:9, I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. Jesus is saying, Yes, I am the gateway in! Those who come in through me will be saved, read Romans 10:8-9,But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Wow, He has given us a doorway in, are you at the right door knocking? The word of God says, if you seek me you will find me, read Jeremiah 29:13, And you shall seek me, and find me, when you shall search for me with all your heart. Are you searching for Him with all of your heart? We need to understand that one day He will not be found, read Psalm 32:6, For this shall every one that is godly pray unto you in a time when you may be found: surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come near unto him. God has shown mercy to all who have truly turned to Him, and believed in Him;and everyone who fears Him! Call on Him, He will answer you, He is right there. God has provided a way of escape from darkness for us, He is the light of the world. He loved us so that He send His only Son to save us, read John 3:16, For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.God showed or demonstrates his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us, read Romans 5:8,But God commends his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. We were guilty of sin,unregenerate by the spirit of God and under the power and dominion of sin, but God showed his love toward us,while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us! Because He Himself is Love, He has made a way for us to be saved from the certain consequence of eternal damnation. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen ! 

 

The word for the weekend is - Meditate !

The word for the weekend is - Meditate !

 

The question for us (the believers) today is what are you meditating on? Is it food, people,things or God's word? We have all heard the expression, "you are what you eat" (flesh or spiritual), but it is also true to say "you are what you think or meditate on"(flesh or spiritual)daily. Should we Meditate daily___ ? We need to pay close attention to our thoughts,it is not possible to prosper without God's word in you! The word of God says, blessed is those who do not follow the advice of the wicked, but follow God's word, read Psalm 1:1,Blessed is the man that walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful. Meditation is a very good thing; depending on what your meditating upon. Someone may be asking how do you meditate or what is meditation? That is a good question? The answers is, Meditation is a function of the mind and the heart. It is what we think about in our hearts and it is something we each do everyday. Whether we realize it or not, we all spend a large portion of our time in some form of meditation ( flesh or spiritual).Your mind and your heart are both being shaped and formed daily. Your mind is programmed by the things you read daily, the people you associate with or talk with daily,or the ungodly influence of others? We are in this world , but we are not of it, avoid ungodly influence by others!  Why ?  Because God said to meditate day and night on His word, read Joshua 1:8,This book of the law shall not depart out of your mouth; but you shall meditate therein day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall have good success. That sounds pretty good to me, but better yet, it is the only way to have good success by the word of God. God said, He would not hold any good thing back from us, read Psalm 84:11-12, For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man that trusts in you. Let us think about that, the person who trusts in Him ( Jesus), that makes they blessed. God is most interested in what we are like on the inside.He wishes to change us from the inside out.His goal or plan is to make us clean on the inside so that the light of God would shine on the outside.If you are clean in your heart, then the light will automatically shine through you! Paul talks about the importance of having a loving heart. The word says,think about these things, that are good,and honorable for you, read Philippians 4:8,Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Let us pray together for the light of God to shine in us where ever we go, read Psalm 19:14,Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

The word for today is - Gospel !

Good morning,

The word for today is - Gospel !

 

The commandment of God is to teach and preach the good news of Jesus Christ,read Matthew 28:19-20, Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen. This command is for all of His disciples, read Mark 16:15-16,And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. We must read that again, it says go into the world,go into the dark place and speak the good news. Let us get some understanding, Jesus is the light of the world, He dwells from within you, so let your light so shine before the world. This light in you comes in order for mankind can walk no longer in the dark. Open your heart to the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ which is life, we are spiritually dead without Him ! Read Ephesians 2:1,And you has he made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins. It is the light that makes everything visible to us, read Ephesians 5:13-14,But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever does make manifest is light.Therefore he says, Awake you that sleep, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give you light. Are you listening to the sound or voice of God?  The word says, Awake you are asleep, stop walking around spiritually dead, you need to be strong in God, read Isaiah 52:1,Awake, awake; put on your strength, O Zion; put on your beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city: for no longer, there shall no more come into you the uncircumcised and the unclean. It sounds like to me we need to dress ourselves with the garments of strength, lay aside the garments expressive of grief and of captivity. Walk by the spirit of God, not by the spirit of darkness. So, let your light shine where ever you go, read Matthew 5:16, Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven. Speak about the goodness of Jesus Christ and serve Him with gladness, read Psalm 100:2-3, Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing.Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Do you have a ear to hear? Read Revelation 3:22,He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. We are the Church! Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

 

The word for today is - People !

Good morning,

The word for today is - People !

 

Do you know who you are ? There is a group of  people who worship God in Spirit and truth. They are the elect  of God. They have been chosen by God to do a good work, you ( the believers) are the elect! No one can bring any charge against the elect, read Romans 8:33,Who shall lay anything to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifies. For you are a holy people,read Deuteronomy 7:6,For you are a holy people unto the LORD your God: the LORD your God has chosen you to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth. You have been set apart to the service of God, or chosen to execute the important purposes of His providence. You belong to God, He called you out of darkness into His marvelous light, read 1 Peter 2:9, But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own; that you should show forth the praises of him who has called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. You are special to God, He has made us to be Kingdom of priests for God his Father.We are a chosen or elect race, a royal priesthood, we are Kings and priests unto God,read Revelation 1:6,And has made us a kingdom and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.  Start walking like kingdom minded people, not double minded, read James 1:6-8, But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. Do not be foolish, do you not know that the Kingdom of God is within you?  Read Luke 17:20-21, And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !   

 

The word for today is - Special !

Good morning,

The word for today is - Special ! 

Do you know how special you are? Let us think about that for a second? Now,let us see it the way God has sees us, read Genesis 1:26,And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. How awesome is that? God has made us (the believers) in His image and has giving us power. The worldly standards  may have you thinking that you're not good enough, but God says, your special in His eye sight. We must  accept God's view of us and live with contentment. We are not like the world, we are created in the image of God, read Genesis 1:27,So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. The bible is clear it separates humans from animals, we are created in the “image” and “likeness” of God!  Animals operate by instinct, and they react, but people “think,”we have the ability to make choices. Read Joshua 24:15,And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.Let us stop judging by mere appearances, let us see the heart of man,read1 Samuel 16:7,But the Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart. God knows the heart of every human being! The Lord said, I know the plans I have for you, read Jeremiah 29:11,For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.God is saying,You did not choose me, but I chose you, read John 15:16,You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that you should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever you shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it to you. This is God talking to us ( the believers),read 1 Peter 2:9-10,But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy. Speak over yourself, I am special to God, He chose us! God views us simply as his children!Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !  

 

The word for today is - Overcomers !

Good morning,
The word for today is - Overcomers !

The word of God says, that we are overcomers, we will have the victory! How do we have the victory? We have to choose how do we define victory, by the worldly standards or by the word of God? Ask yourself,what do righteousness and wickedness have in common__? Or lets look at light  which is of God and darkness which is of the world, which is brighter,read 2 Corinthians 6:14, Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? Understand this, light always shines brightest in the dark. The word of God says, we are in this world but not of it, read John 15:19,If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. It’s not how we start our race, but it’s how we finish the race! So, let us run with the mighty hand power of God with us. Therefore humble yourselves , read 1 Peter 5:6-7, Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:Casting all your care upon him; for he cares for you. Let us look at Moses, He started badly, murdering an Egyptian and escaping into the wilderness to avoid taking responsibility, but he ended well. Why? Because, He seek the kingdom of God first, read Matthew 6:33-34, But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. Understand this if you seek God first, everything else will come to you in God's timing. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

The word for today is - Vain !

Good morning,

The word for today is -  Vain !
Never misuse the Lord's name in vain, read Deuteronomy 5:11,You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain: for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that takes his name in vain. If you hear anyone speaking maliciously against God, you should separate yourself  from them, read Psalm 1:1-3, Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.The word of God says, it is very wise to be friends with all that follow God and fear Him, read Psalm 119:63-64, I am a companion of all them that fear thee, and of them that keep thy precepts.The earth, O Lord, is full of thy mercy: teach me thy statutes. If you don't know Him, all you need to do is ask for help! Just turn to Him and learn from Him, read Psalm 40:3-4, And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the Lord.Blessed is that man that maketh the Lord his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies. We need to learn the ways of God, ask the Holy Spirit to teach you and guide you. People must turn away from the wickedness of the world, read Proverbs 2:11-15, Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee:To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh froward things;Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness;Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the frowardness of the wicked;Whose ways are crooked, and they froward in their paths. The enemies of God misuse His name, read Psalm 139:20,For they speak against you wickedly, and your enemies take your name in vain. Don't be a enemy to God, let us love and delight ourself in the Lord, and His ways! The word tells us don't rebel against the Lord, read Numbers 14:9, Only rebel not against the LORD, neither fear you the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their defense is departed from them, and the LORD is with us: fear them not. We walk by faith not by sight! Thank you Lord for you word. Amen !     

 

The word for the weekend - Steal !

The word for the weekend -  Steal !

Don't  let the devil steal your joy, if you trust the Lord with all of your heart, He will direct your paths, read  Proverbs 3:6, In all your ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct your paths. Because the favor of God is with us, ask yourself  if God is for me, who in this world is against me ? Read Romans 8:31,What shall we then say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? Okay,what then, shall we say in response to this?  Some people may be against us, but they can not injure or destroy us! Why? Because, the Lord is on our side, He is mighty and more powerful then anyone or anything, read Psalm 118:5-7, I called upon the Lord in distress: the Lord answered me, and set me in a large place.The Lord is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?The Lord taketh my part with them that help me: therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me. It is okay, don't walk around thinking about why, just trust the Lord, He will see you through everything! Is anything to hard for God? NO !! What does this mean to you the believers__?  If you submit yourselves to God, He will draw near to you, read James 4:6-10,But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up. Now, that is something to look forward too. God never had a plan that some  people should go to heaven and others to eternal torment (hell)! Is Our Heavenly Father foreknowing and has foreordained everything, yes! Read Ephesians 1:3-6,Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. We thank you Lord for your love towards us,where would we be without you? Let us get some understanding of the word at hand, God predestinated that all who shall be of this elect ( the believer),must first be "conformed to the image of his Son" (Jesus) who did the will of His Heavenly Father, not the things of this world!  Stay with me, it is in the word, read Romans 8:29-30,For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. Now that is Awesome! There is a certain connection between the predestination and the call, which will be manifested in due time, by God's time table! The connection is so certain that the one infallibly secures the other, it is the power of God. No one can steal from you, what God has ordain in you,no man can take it away, open your Spiritual eye's and mind, we are enabled to see clearly each step of divine providence taken in connection with the divine purpose for us ( the believers). God was and is favorable towards those who accept the light of truth, those who through repentance and faith in the precious blood are "justified" from sin through his grace. Satan, you can not steal or have my joy, I know the truth and I am free by the blood of Jesus Christ !!! Thank you Lord for your word and your grace. Amen !

 

 

The word for today is - Friend !

Good morning,

The word for today is - Friend !

 

When you think about a true friend, what comes across your mind__? A true friend will comfort and support you at all times and will be true to you! Also, a true friend loves at all times, read Proverbs 17:17, A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity. We were created to be friends right from the beginning of time. Friendship began at the start in the Garden of Eden, when God created us, it was His intent to maintain intimate fellowship. God walked with them and God talked with them, but then the friendship was broken.We have some true friends who will stand with us through it all, and others will be a friend intil things start looking bad, and then they will walk away. A true friend will walk with you to the end. Many people know about the story of Ruth in the bible, if you don't know the story read it! The mother-in-law,Naomi had said to Ruth her daughter- in-law,your sister-in-law is going back to her people follow her. In other words she was saying, Ruth you should do the same thing, but no Ruth stayed right beside Naomi. Do you understand what, I'm saying? Well Ruth would not leave her mother- in -law when things start going bad. Naomi's husband had died, then her two sons died. Her mother-in-law told her to go back to her people, but Ruth said, No don't urge me to leave you or to turn away from you! Can you hear the Spirit in Ruth? Naomi heard Ruth’s Loyalty to her, and they walked away together ! How many people would do this __? When you read this story you will understand that God had a plan all the time for Ruth and Naomi, something greater in stored  for their future.Read Ruth 1:16-17,And Ruth said, Entreat me not to leave you, or to return from following after you: for where you go, I will go; and where you lodge, I will lodge: your people shall be my people, and your God my God:Where you die, will I die, and there will I be buried: the LORD do so to me, and more also, if anything but death parts you and me. Wow!  Ruth had favor giving to her by God and no one could take it away ! All we need to do is trust Him, through it all!  Read Proverbs 18:24,A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother. Thank you lord for calling us friends! Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

 

The word for today is - Everyday !

The word for today is - Everyday !

 

Heavenly Father, we give you thanks for this day, for this is the day that the Lord has made for us. Read Psalm 118:24,This is the day which the LORD has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. Let us celebrate Jesus, for all He has done for us, for this day is ordained for a purpose. Understand this, God had us in mind for this day, so let us walk by faith, and know that God is in control. God is the creator and controller of the universe and all that is in it, He is accountable only to Himself. We should be looking to help someone today, so many people are going through something, the east coast its on fire with about one million people without power, down south heavy showers and thunderstorms across central and southern Florida. He gave us another day for a  purpose! Ask yourself what is the purpose? Could it be to help others or someone___? We are servants of the Lord. The word of God says,the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve read Mark 10:45, For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many. Jesus was teaching his disciples humility and lowliness. He was sent by God, and came as the servant of the Lord. Jesus went about in the form of a servant,always doing good for others. Let us do our best in being a good servant today, it may change someones life! We are commanded by God to love one another and help others, to do want is right in the eye sight of God not man,read Deuteronomy 6:18-19,And you shall do that which is right and good in the sight of the LORD: that it may be well with you, and that you may go in and possess the good land which the LORD swore unto your fathers,To cast out all your enemies from before you, as the LORD has spoken. Jesus said,You didn't choose me. I chose you. Jesus said, that it was not because you had chosen me to be your teacher, but because He had designated them to be His apostles. We have been elect,chosen, appointed and set apart for a good work by God. Let us leap with joy for we are a chosen people, you are one of His disciples, God is always with us.The Bible says that Jesus was both God and human, and the human part of Jesus’ nature showed when Jesus struggled to accept God’s will: something every person on earth does sometimes. But Jesus chose to be faithful to God’s plan, trusting that it really was best, when he prayed: "yet not my will, but yours be done." As soon as Jesus prayed those words, God sent an angel to strengthen  Jesus, this is a promise that God will always empower people to do whatever he has called them to do! Jesus said, I am with you always, read Matthew 28:18-20,And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen. Thank you for always being with us. My prayer, Heavenly Father let me do my best in being a good servant to others by your Spirit (the spirit of love) everyday, Amen ! Thank you Lord for your word. Amen ! 

 

 

The word for today is - World !

Happy 4th of July !!!!!!
The word for today is - World !

Read Romans 12:2,And be not conformed to this world: but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. Something has to take place from within, it is your way of thinking,your mind set,we are in this world but not of this world. The word of God says,be not conformed any longer to this world. Instead of following the ways of the world,follow Me (Jesus) and then a change will take place in your life.You must let the Spirit of God, change your  attitude (your mind set),let God work in you, read Ephesians 4:23-24,And be renewed in the spirit of your mind.And that you put on the new man,which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.The new man has new feelings,new principles,and new desires, this refers to the heart has changed.Regeneration has tooking place from within you, to change the outward conditions.This is the hand of God at work,regeneration by the Spirit of God. He has restored us back to himself, it is the plan of God. Let us understand that nothing  just happens.Understand this, God is at work and that He is about to bless you, the keys to your destiny is within you.God is about to bless His children behond your wildest dreams, you can and will accomplish everything that God has set before you. Not only does God have a set plan and a set future for your life, but He also has a set timetable in which all of these plans will manifest in your life. You simply have to learn how to have patience during these waiting periods.God has your life perfectly planned out for you, just trust Him, we need to move or step forward, read Psalm 37:23,The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delights in his way.God leads and we should listen to the Holy Spirit and follow Him.The word says, whosoever listens to me will live in peace, read Proverbs 1:33,But whosoever hearkens unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be secure from the fear of evil. Let us learn how to go into the "secret place of the most High"and listen to the sound of God, where which the gates of hell cannot prevail against us ( His children). If you believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, there is no power that the devil (Satan), has over you, read Matthew 16:18,And I say also unto you, That you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hades shall not prevail against it. Jesus said to Peter, this truth that thou hast confessed, that I am the Messiah and upon confessions of this from all believers, I will build my church. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !
