The word for the weekend is - Agreeing !

Good morning,

The word for the weekend is - Agreeing !

The word of God says, if any of you touch an agree, it will be done on earth, read Matthew 18:18-19,Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. Let us get some understanding first, touching an agreeing has to do with the word of God, it much line up with His word. The word of God says, use your time wisely, read Ephesians 5:16-18,Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit.Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is.One of the books in the Bible, which answers this question is the book of James. Maybe it’s not the book we enjoy the most hearing from, but it’s still a part of the Bible, and for a reason! Lets read James 1:5-8 ,starts his letter by saying, If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.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. So, if any touch an agree it should be agreement by the word of God, you must know His word. You must read and hear the word of God in order to be transformed, so you will no longer do the things of the world, read Romans 12:2, And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. We should be praying, Father not my will, but let your will Lord be done in our lives. Do you agree ____? Two people can not walk together unless they agree, read Amos 3:3,Can two walk together, except they be agreed? It is impossible, read Luke 16:13,No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other.Ye cannot serve God and mammon.Thank you Lord for your word. Amen ! 

The word for today is - Source !

Good morning,

The word for today is - Source !

 

Who is your source? Is it God or some other source? Read Jeremiah 2:12-14,Be astonished, O ye heavens, at this, and be horribly afraid, be ye very desolate, saith the Lord.For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.Is Israel a servant? is he a homeborn slave? why is he spoiled? You could choose to draw from God, stop drawing from other sources.Without God there is nothing that is,God is the source of our being. Is the Lord your rock ? Read Psalm 18:2,The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower. Do you trust Him with your whole heart? Read Psalm 28:7,The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoices; and with my song will I praise him. Praise His Holy Name,we must express our gratitude for all that He has done in us, and for us. He is our fortress in the time of need, a place where we can be safe.Put your trust in the Lord, not man. Why? Because God is true to His word, man will lie,read Psalm 62:4-8,They only consult to cast him down from his excellency: they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah.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. You can always talk or call on Him at anytime. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !   

 

 

The word for today is - Do !

Good morning,

The word for today is - Do !

 

Let us start with Jesus talking, do not be afraid of mankind they can only kill the body ,but not your soul. I am the One that can kill and destroy both soul and body,Matthew 10:28,And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. Jesus told His disciples what to do and what not to do, read Mark 16:15, And he said unto them, Go you into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. This is a command, and He also said, be merciful do not judge others, because you will also be judge. James writes, “Who are you to judge your neighbour?” Read James 4:12,There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who are you that judge another ? What a awesome question? The word is telling us to take a look in the mirror, do you see what God sees? Jesus knows the human heart, and he is not taken in by the most hidden motivations, read  Luke 6:41-42, And why behold you the speck that is in your brother's eye, but perceive not the beam that is in your own eye? Either how can you say to your brother, Brother, let me pull out the speck that is in your eye, when you yourself behold not the beam that is in your own eye? you hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of your own eye, and then shall you see clearly to pull out the speck that is in your brother's eye. Do not condemn others, why? because  the same principles are for all, no excuse Jews or Gentiles.The word of God says obey me, if you love me ,read John 14:15,If you love me, keep my commandments. This is Jesus teaching, He says,, "All who love me will do what I say, read John 14:23,Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man loves me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.There is now no condemnation for those who belong to Christ, read Romans 8:1,There is therefore now no condemnation to them who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

 

The word for today is - Honor !

Good morning,

The word for today is - Honor !

 

When I was a little girl over fifty years ago,our parents, grand parents, Aunts and Uncles always told us to respect our parents and our elders, not some but all! The children in this twenty first century need to hear the Good News, so many children do not have respect for their elders. We have work to do, we must preach and teach the word of God everywhere, how can they hear the word without a preacher? Read Romans 10:13-15 ,For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.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? And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! We are called by God to teach and preach the Good News, read Titus 3:1-3,Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work,To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men.For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. The word says,to Honor your Father and Mother, this is the first commandment with a promise, read Ephesians 6:1-4,Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise; That it may be well with thee,and thou mayest live long on the earth. And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. Now let us understand if you dishonor your parents the word of God says, you will be cursed, read Deuteronomy 27:15-16,Cursed be the man that maketh any graven or molten image, an abomination unto the Lord, the work of the hands of the craftsman, and putteth it in a secret place. And all the people shall answer and say, Amen. Cursed be he that setteth light by his father or his mother. And all the people shall say, Amen. The word is telling all children to respect your father and mother at all times, read 1 Peter 1:14-16,As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. Let all the children that have been walking in your flesh, old or young turn around and start walking by the Spirit of God, and that Spirit is Love ! Read Proverbs 20:20,Whoso curseth his father or his mother, his lamp shall be put out in obscure darkness. Read that again,it says anyone that talks against your parents your light will go out. Heavenly Father forgive anyone that has not obey your word by given honor to their parents, we do not have to always agree, but we must obey the word of God, read Psalm 40:7-8,Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me,I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.What's in your heart? The word of God says, whatever is in a man's heart so is He, read Proverbs 23:7,For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.We must get our hearts right with God, 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. Let us do our best to honor God's word, Jesus submitted Himself to both parents, His earthly parents and to our Heavenly Father, He said not my way, but let your will be done in me, read Matthew 26:39,And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt. Let us do our best to respect all people. Let us give honor where honor is do, to God be the Glory! Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

The word for today is - Door !

Good morning,

The word for today is - Door !

 

Ask yourself if there is a doorway in, would you go through it or would you just stand there? Think about that! We have been giving a free gift, how many people are walking around here on earth giving anything freely? God wants us to come and have fellowship with Him,and God has invited us to have fellowship with Him, read 1 Corinthians 1:9,God is faithful, by whom you were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord. How Awesome is that? Jesus says, He is at your door knocking, will you let Him in? Read Revelation 3:20,Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me. Wow,do you hear the sound of God knocking at your heart? Well the word of God says, I AM the door its Spiritual Life, you can come in and out of my presents and live, read John 10:8-9,All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. I am the door:by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.There is a door right before us, one door is open which no one is able to shut.The door that has been open by God,read Revelation 3:8,I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name. You should know that it is God who opens and closes doors in the believers life. As long as you think it is some human being or bad luck that does it you are sadly mistaken. Many times we keep on doing what we do all the time, year after year, but God certainly have better things in store for us. Since you are comfortable doing what you are now doing and good at it; you will never think about changing directions at all. God has a plan in mind, if you trust in Him, He is the one who opens and closes doors in your life,He is pointing us to a new direction in life.We may not understand everything that is going on, but god has a plan! We know God works everything out for our good ( the believers), 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 look at Joseph, He was put in prison,he tried to make his release come in his own time. But God closed the door, he opened it after two years. This was because God was preparing Joseph for the task ahead. Then Joseph became the governor of the land. The door has been open to us, will you come in ? I speak life to you today, God is preparing us, I declare open doors in Jesus name, that no man can close! He has given us the assurance that He has kept an open door before us which no one can shut, this is the power of God! Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

 

 

The word for today is - Steps !

Good morning,

The word for today is - Steps !

 

Do you not know that God wants us to grow spiritual? The bible says, some people have been like babies on milk, in order for us to grow we need the meat of the word of God. In order for us to grow we must have a desire to grow into the knowledge of God. Some people have a desire to grow and others have lose that desire or never had a desire to grow.One of the main reasons people don't grow is that they don't see the need for growing. They have no desire to move forward. When people develop a burning hunger and thirst to work for the Lord, then they will develop the other steps they need to grow. Let us get some understanding growth is always needed.We can not hold on to the past things, we have to look forward just like Paul,He forgot past achievements and failures and pressed forward for greater accomplishments,read Philippians 3:12-14,Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.The Apostles stood their ground, for God. God had prepared them, they had learned from walking with Jesus and were empowered by the Holy Spirit. We have the Holy Spirit of God dwelling within us! We need to study the Bible for Instructions, we need to read the word of God daily, pray daily and meditate on the word day and night, 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. This is the only way to have good success! We need to read the word of God everyday, it is food for our inner man, we need to be strengthened, read Ephesians 3:14-19,For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,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 the weekend is - Search !

The word for the weekend is - Search ! 

Forgive me for sending the word a little late, my daughter and grand kids came by grand mom's house this morning. When the kids come over they have so much to say, and they always ask me, grand mom are you listening. Have you heard this before? _ ? For me Yes! Read Matthew 17:5,While he yet spoke, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear you him.When Jesus was speaking something took place,this was spoken to confirm to the disciples; to make known to them that it was their duty to hear the divine presence of God and honor His word. So, I always listen to hear what they have to say, understand there is power in the words that we speak, life or death, even in Children. God is looking for someone who is willing to listen, God is seeking for someone who has a pure heart to hear from Him. Let us ask Our Heavenly Father to search to our hearts.The word says, let this mind be in you which is in Christ Jesus, it means present, read Philippians 2:5-6, Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God.The question is what Spirit dwells in you? Your Spirit should be Love and Truth the same Spirit of God. The Lord searches the heart of everyone,Why? because it is the most hidden part of mankind, but God goes within, the out of sight (inward) parts, our emotions and feelings. The word of God is saying, I the Lord knows every thought from within you, all the secret motions of your heart, and the wickedness our your heart, read Jeremiah 17:10,I the LORD search the heart, I test the mind, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.God is saying, I search all hearts and examine secret motives.Nothing is too hard for God, read Jeremiah 32:17-19, Ah Lord GOD! behold, you have made the heaven and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm, and there is nothing too hard for you:You show loving kindness unto thousands, and recompense the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them: the Great, the Mighty God, the LORD of hosts, is his name,Great in counsel, and mighty in work: for your eyes are open upon all the ways of the sons of men: to give everyone according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.The word of God says, I the Lord knows when you are telling the truth or lying. So,though the heart is deceitful, you cannot deceive God, there is no one like Him! There’s nothing too hard for Him, in Matthew 21:22, And all things, whatsoever you shall ask in prayer, believing, you shall receive.When you ask in prayer and believe, you’ll receive, if it is God's will.There is no problem too hard for God to solve. God specializes in the impossible with man, but possible with God. Now God may not solve your problem the way you may want Him to, but there’s no problem too hard for Him to solve.There is no promise that God will not keep, there are over thirty thousand promises in the Bible, and God will keep everyone of His promises. If God made the promise, He will keep His word, why? Because He cannot lie, read Numbers 23:19,God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: has he said, and shall he not do it? or has he spoken, and shall he not make it good?There is no promise too hard for God to keep, if we obey His word, and do what pleases him. Lets look at David, He was a man after God’s own heart. Why did God call him this? Basically, it was because David chose to follow God with all of his heart.David deliberately put God first above everything else.David made it a point to keep his heart pure and devoted to God.So,let us have a devoted heart for Our Lord and Savior! Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !
  

The word for today is - Servant !

Good morning,

The word for today is - Servant !

Jesus taught that you have to lose yourself first in order to follow Him.You must lose your pride, and ask the Holy Spirit to lead you! When we lose ourselves for Jesus and put others before us then we are good servants of the Lord, read John 12:25-26,He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.When we stop focusing on our needs,we then become servants of the Lord, read  Romans 13:4,For he is the minister of God to you for good. But if you do that which is evil, be afraid; for he bears not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, an avenger to execute wrath upon him that does evil. When we become aware of the needs of others and put others first then God is well pleased with us, read Hebrews 13:16,But to do good and to share forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased. If you are called by God, you must do things His way, and His way is to serve with gladness, read Psalm 100:2,Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing.We have to take a whole new point of view of serving one another.We can not do it our way,or the way of the world, it has to be done God's way.We need to find out what is the will of God and do our best to obey Him, read Ephesians 5:15-17,See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.Let us get some understanding first, Jesus said there are two great commandments. Read Matthew 22:34-40,But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together.Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,Master, which is the great commandment in the law?Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.This is the first and great commandment.And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. Jesus was talking about serving others,read Galatians 5:13-14, For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Let us serve one another with love,read 1 Peter 4:10-11,As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

The word for today is - Withhold !

Good morning,

The word for today is - Withhold !

 

The bible says, God will not withhold any good thing back from His children, read Psalm 84:11,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. Read that again, it says, He will not withhold no good thing from those who walk in perfection, if you are walking  blamelessly. Nothing that man really needs; will God hold back, but when you walk right the favor of God will be with you! The first sign of wisdom is the fear of God,read Malachi 4:2, But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and you shall go forth, and grow up like calves of the stall.God does not withhold His power from them to whom it is due, read Proverbs 3:27,Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of your hand to do it.So, you have the power from within you to do the word God has called you to do, move forward, your in a race! The word of God says, your a winner! We have work to do, God has giving us a mission to teach, preach and speak about the Kingdom of God at hand. The word brings peace from within, peaceful fruit of righteousness comes to those who have been trained by it, no more pain. Read Hebrews 12:11,Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.Thank you Lord for your word. Amen!

 

 

The word for today is - Others !

Good morning,

The word for today is - Others !

 

Today, I had a plan, but God had another plan for me this morning. I woke up this morning and I gave God thanks for this day.The word says, give God thanks at all times, this is His will for your life read 1 Thessalonians 5:18,In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.The word says, each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, so I asked myself am I using my gifts, by helping the lost to find God? Read Romans 10:8-9,But what says it? The word is near you, even in your mouth, and in your heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;That if you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you shall be saved.We must speak the good news( the gospel) to the people, the law of God is the key to unlock the door to salvation, read 1 Peter 4:10-11, As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen! So, this morning I am asking God to forgive me for not helping more! We should carefully look at the outcome of a faithful service, and of unfaithful service. A faithful service led to increased responsibilities in the Kingdom of God. And unfaithful service led to condemnation.We need God to empower us, for our mission, me have work to do, read 1 Corinthians 14:22,Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe. God's people are to work together, using their spiritual gifts, to glorify God and to help one another.When Jesus told His disciples to go and speak the good news to the nations, 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 Lord for your word. Amen !

 

The word for today- Follow !

The word for today- Follow !

 

Let us follow God's example,let us be an encourager! We all have a gift, read 1 Peter 4:10,As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. So let us build up one another, today my oldest brother and I had a good day together building up one another,talking about life. In the bible it says, to speak life, read 1 Thessalonians 5:11,Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.The book of Proverbs sums up the impact encouraging words can have read, Proverbs 18:21,Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. Your words have an impact, everytime you speak, so be an encourager! Let us encourage and strengthen one another ! Sometimes we may have a plan for today, but God has another plan for you, read Jeremiah 29:11,For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Heavenly Father, I thank you for this day, it was a great day.Thank you Lord for your word. Amen ! 

 

The word for today is - Become !

Good morning,

The word for today is - Become !

 

We should be more like Him (Christ Jesus),this is the desire of the Lord, read Ephesians 1:4-6, According as he has 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, in which he has made us accepted in the beloved. Heavenly Father, we thank you for loving us, for we are your children (the believers),read 1 John 4:4, You are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.We want to become more like you,read Ephesians 4:14-15,That we from now on be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, by which they lie in wait to deceive;But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, who is the head, even Christ.When we get the knowledge of the word of God, then He becomes greater in us, and we become less, read John 3:30,He must increase, but I must decrease. It is no longer I who lives, but Christ who lives in me, read Galatians 2:20,I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. Jesus says, follow me and deny yourself. In the book of Luke, he sums it up best when he describes what Jesus told His disciples: "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me". So, this is death to the flesh,and life in the Spirit, read Luke 9:23-24, And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.You have to understand that to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life, read Galatians 6:8,For he that sows to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that sows to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. Let us become more like Him, by seeking the things that are above! The word says, to have the same mind set as Jesus, read Philippians 2:5, Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus. Jesus also says, Let me teach you how to walk,read Matthew 11:29,Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and you shall find rest unto your souls. In other words the weight of this world is to much for you,Cast your burdens upon Him,He will sustain you, trust Him! Read 1 John 2:6,He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked. He has left us an example of Himself in His word, that we should follow his footsteps and walk in love! Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !   

 

The word for this weekend - Name !

First, I give Our Heavenly Father the praise,we give you prasie for all you have done for Us(the believers) ! Happy Father's Day to all of the Father's,read Matthew 15:4,For God commanded, saying,Honor your father and mother: and, He that curses father or mother, let him die the death . 

 

The word for this weekend -  Name !

 

The question is, do you know His Name? Let us get some understanding,it is His will that we call on His name and to know Him, read Isaiah 52:6,Therefore my people shall know my name: therefore they shall know in that day that I am he that doth speak: behold, it is I. The word of God says, I AM your Lord and God, read Isaiah 42:8, I am the Lord: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images. Some people many be asking what is in a name? There is power in the name of Jesus! There is none like Him, His name is full of power,read Jeremiah 10:6,Since as there is none like unto you, O LORD; you are great, and your name is great in might. Our Heavenly Father is also known as, The beginning and the End,The Creator of the Universe, The Almighty, The Eternal One, Abba and the great I AM and so much more __!!  The great and first commandment is to love Our Heavenly Father with all of your heart, read Matthew 22:37-38, Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. So, let your light shine before all men, by walking in love for God first and one another, now read Matthew 22:39-40, And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. This brings glory to Our Father in Heaven, 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. We thank you for your love for us, and we give you praise for you are worthy, all praise belong to you God,read Psalm 150:1-6, Praise ye the Lord. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power. Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness. Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the psaltery and harp.Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs.Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals. Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord. The word says, if we don't praise Him, the rocks will cry out to Him,read Luke 19:39-40,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.We should praise God for Who He is ! We give you all the honor and glory! Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

The word for today is - Greatness !

Good morning,

The word for today is - Greatness !

 

What is greatness? The definition is, the state, condition, or quality of being great; as, greatness of size, greatness of mind, power, etc.Ask yourself ,are you pursuing greatness to serve others?Are you pursuing greatness for the glory of God? So, what is your desire is it Godliness and worldliness?Read Titus 2:12,Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live sensibly, righteously, and godly, in this present world. Now read 1 Timothy 4:8,For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come. Lets get some understanding first, the greatness of God should be first, to seek Him first the kingdom of God, read Matthew 6:33,But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.Let us walk in godlyness!Understand that, not one of us is great in and of ourselves; God alone is great in the true sense of greatness. And the greatness of God can be seen in a special gift or anointingthat God gives to certain people. Without His Spirit dwelling in us, we can do nothing, read 1 Chronicles 29:11,Thine, O Lord is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O Lord, and thou art exalted as head above all. It is the power of the holy ghost dwelling from within, we are experiencing something God has given to us, read 1 Timothy 6:17-19, Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate;Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life. He has giving us a sound from within us, to enjoy. Speak over yourself, I am richly reward by God,I'm rich in the spirit of God,read Philippians 4:13,I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

 

 

The word for today is - Guide !

Good morning,

The word for today is - Guide  ! 

 

Let us pray together, ask the Lord to lead us and guide us on the right path, just as he guided the Israelites through the wilderness with the pillar of cloud by day,and the pillar of fire by night, by His word and by His Spirit , read Isaiah 58:11, And the LORD shall guide you continually, and satisfy your soul in drought, and strengthen your bones: and you shall be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not. His word brings live, it will strengthen us from within, a change will take place. We need to hear from you , we need a word from you, inorder to know want to do next, Psalm 51:8-10, Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. Heavenly Father, bring a change in our hearts, a change in our walk, we need the truth. 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. Heavenly Father, we bow down to you, and only you, For you are our God forever more and there is no one like you, read Psalm 48:14, For this God is our God forever and ever: he will be our guide even unto death. And we worship only you ! You are the greatest teacher of all, you are our Lord and God, you are the Redeemer and Defender for us, read Isaiah 48:17,Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the LORD your God who teaches you to profit, who leads you by the way that you should go. And we give you thanks for your Spiritual Guidance, your word is powerful, read Hebrews 4:12,For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Let the word of God guide you on your journey !! Thank you Lord for your word. Amen ! 

 

 

The word for today is - Never !

Good morning, 

The word for today is - Never !

Read Deuteronomy 31:7-8,And Moses called unto Joshua, and said unto him in the sight of all Israel, Be strong and of a good courage: for thou must go with this people unto the land which the Lord hath sworn unto their fathers to give them; and thou shalt cause them to inherit it. 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. When God said, I will never  leave you nor forsake you, His word is true. God never changes His word, read Numbers 23:19,God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: has he said, and shall he not do it? or has he spoken, and shall he not make it good? Now that is something to think about! So, we know that God is true and faithful to His word. Amen!  Let us get some understanding about our God, He is a Spirit, He is true and faithful, He is loving and kind, He is everywhere at the same time.We can confidently say, the Lord is with us (the believers), read Hebrews 13:5-6, Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me. In other words, "what can man do to me?” The answer to the question, Nothing! So, If God is with us, who can be against us? Read Romans 8:31,What shall we then say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? Some people may be against us ( the believers), a need to destroy us,but God is more powerful than all,He will defend and save us. Just call on Him, Lord I need your help or I need you, read Psalm 118:5-6,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? Heavenly Father, we thank you for always being there for us, in the time of trouble, read John 16:33,These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. Thank you for your word. Amen !

The word for today is - Today !

Good morning,

The word for today is - Today !

 

The bible is clear, it says to pray at all times, read Ephesians 6:17-20,And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel, For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak. This nation and other nations need us to pray together for one another, there is one God, and one Spirit ,there is none like Him, read Isaiah 46:9-10,Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me, Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure. We need to pray today for the power of God to change the nations and the leadership for righteousness and peace, read 1 Timothy 2:1-4,I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. Also, for one another, read Philippians 1:9-11,And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment;That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ. Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God. Let us pray just like Paul prayed for the believers. Heavenly Father let us have more knowledge and insight of your word in our heart, the word says, have this word in your heart, read Psalm 119:11, Your word have I hid in my heart, that I might not sin against you. This means to do want is right, in the sight of God. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

 

 

The word for today is - Beginning !

Good morning,

The word for today is -  Beginning !

 

Read Genesis 1:1, In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. Let us start from the beginning of time, everything starts with God and will end by God's word. God spoke a word, He create the universe out of nothing, read John 1:1, In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. This is the power of God, His word. Let us get some understanding, nothing that is , is without Him, read Hebrews 11:3,Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. God's word is divine, His word is truth and life. The word of God says, I know the plans I have for you,read Jeremiah 29:10-12,For thus saith the Lord, That after seventy years be accomplished at Babylon I will visit you, and perform my good word toward you, in causing you to return to this place. 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.Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you.The word of God says, I knew you before you were born or in your mother's womb (belly), read Jeremiah 1:5,Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; and before you came forth out of the womb I sanctified you, and I ordained you a prophet unto the nations. This is the hand of God from the beginning of time. You have been set aside for a time as this, read Proverbs 8:23, I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, before the earth was. In other words you have been anointed before the foundation of the world. You have everything that you need inorder for you to move forward. There is a door that has been open to the believers, start walking forward. You should have a goal in life, just trust the Lord and move forward, what is holding you back? Read Philippians 3:13-14, Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. You have a command on your life, read, Isaiah 45:1,Thus says the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have held, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the armor of kings, to open before him the two-leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut. God will perform all he has promised in His word. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

 

 

The word for the weekend - Fear !

The word for the weekend - Fear !

 

We need to be aware of things at all times, we have to resist fear! Everyday we are in a battle field.The Bible is very clear on the existence of spiritual warfare. Peter warns us that we are to be “self-controlled and alert at all times", read 1 Peter 5:8,Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour. So, the word says, do not be afraid, I AM with you, read Deuteronomy 20:1,When you go out to battle against your enemies, and see horses, and chariots, and a people more than you, be not afraid of them: for the LORD your God is with you, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt.Who and what we surround ourselves with affects us, through life, we need to be encourage by the word of God. God's word is 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. Understand this, truth is a representation of things as they are, Jesus is the fountain of all truth. Knowing that the Lord will restore all things and people ( the believers) back to Himself  is a real encouragement for the depressed soul. Read James 4:7-8, 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.We need to seek the Kingdom of God first. When God is first and foremost in our lives, Satan lacks power over us, despite his attempts to weaken our efforts to pursue Christ. Read Deuteronomy 20:4,For the LORD your God is he that goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you. Thank you Father for saving us, 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. All things work together for your  good when your in Christ Jesus.We are His sheep, we can go in and out when we go in the right door. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

The word for today is - Prayer !

Good morning,

The word for today is - Prayer !

 

The word of God says, for us to be more like Him. So let us start with prayer, Jesus spent a lot of time praying. He often went to a solitary place and prayed for hours at a time, especially at difficult times in His ministry . The famous Lord's Prayer is Jesus' model of the perfect prayer. Perhaps the best place in the Bible to begin a study on prayer is when the disciples asked Jesus how they should pray. In two of the Gospel accounts (Matthew and Luke), the disciples are recorded as asking Jesus to teach them how to pray. Jesus responds by offering a model prayer, which is recorded in Matthew 6:9-13 and Luke 11:2-4. Many people believe answered prayer is God granting a prayer request  that is offered to Him. If a prayer request is not granted, it is understood as an “unanswered” prayer. However, this is an incorrect understanding of prayer. God answers every prayer that is lifted to Him. Sometimes, God may answer “yes, no” or “wait.” God only promises to grant our prayers when we ask according to His will, not your will, Amen! Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

The word for today is - Celebrating !

Good morning,

The word for today is - Celebrating !

 

When you woke-up this morning, how did you feel? You should be celebrating making a joyful noise. Read Psalm 150:1-6, Praise ye the Lord. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power.Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness.Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the psaltery and harp.Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs.Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals.Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord.We should be praising the Lord, it is a Celebration.We have been invited to the wedding feast, let us look at the parable of the wedding  feast, read Matthew 22:1-3,And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said,The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come. The word of God says, come to me, let us reason together, read Isaiah 1:18,Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.The Lord says, Come now, not tomorrow, not when you clean yourself up, God knows your heart, and your troubles read  Matthew 11:28, Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Don't ever think that your not worthy, if God said it He can do just what He said ! Everyone has some sort of pressure or stress and that is normal, so turn to the Lord in prayer. God is always, will to help His children. The last thing that God wants is for you not to turn to Him. God has the answer and the solution to the problem or problems. God can handle anything, God is always there, he can be counted on at all times, good or bad times. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen ! 

 

 

The word for today is - Betrayal !

Good morning,

The word for today is - Betrayal !

 

The bible is clear,In order to have friends, you must be friendly, also it says, choose your friends wisely! Read  Proverbs 13:20,He that walks with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed. Let us do a study on David in the bible,he deals with pain from a close friend. David has not been betrayed by just any close friend, but by someone he trusted,someone he ate with, someone who would talk with him, read Psalm 55:13-14, But it was you, a man my equal, my guide, and my close friend. We took sweet counsel together, and walked unto the house of God in company.It is an extremely emotionally painful experience to have someone with whom you put your trust break that trust and turn against you. It is even more painful when it is one of our brothers or sisters in Christ who breaks this trust. David has been betrayed by another child of God, with whom he had shared worshipping the Lord with.This person David care about, we cannot overlook the wickedness of a person first. In this Psalm we must study how David deals with this betrayal and make some applications for ourselves.The lesson here is to put if in the hands of God. David concludes by reminding himself and teaching us and others to place their burdens on God during these troublesome times.David understands that God will act on his behalf, in His time. God can sustain us through a turbulent time as this and will never allow the righteous to be moved.Let us understand that a person that is wicked, and false will answer to God, read Ecclesiastes 12:14,For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.Thank you Lord for your word. Amen ! 

 

 

The word for today is -Trouble !

Good morning,

The word for today is -Trouble !

 

The Bible says in the book of  Psalm 30:4-6, Sing unto the Lord, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.We need to take hope in the fact that our greatest problems cannot last always. Trouble and problems can only last for a short while but the Bible says, “…joy comes in the morning”. This does not mean crying at night and when the sun rises joy will come for our darkest hour in life, but it can happen anytime of the day. However, joy will come, so don't worry. Read Philippians 4:6,Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. In other words just as it is nighttime for a little while and sun soon rises so are our problems are but for a little while and then they are gone. We should take hope in this scripture that those things troubling us will only last a little while and then they are gone. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

 

The word for today is - Led !

Good morning,

The word for today is - Led !

 

The word of God says, you must have a ear to hear the things of the Spirit. Paul said to be Spiritual minded,we need to be led by God's Spirit. Are you walking by the Spirit of the living God or by your flesh. Read Galatians 5:16,This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. Some people may be asking, how can this be? Good question, the answer is,a person that is carnal minded has the word only in their mind, not in their heart. A person who is elated by success and is cast down by failure is still a carnal minded person.Read Galatians 5:17,For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.  Do you have peace from within?  Let us read Romans 8:6,For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.We have freedom in Christ Jesus, let us walk by the Spirit in love and truth. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

 

 

The word for today is - Late !

Good morning,

The word for today is - Late !

 

Did you seek the word of God, yesterday? The word of God says,we must seek the Lord everyday or daily, why? Because one day He will not be found read Isaiah 55:6,Seek you the LORD while he may be found, call you upon him while he is near. We should be yearning for Him daily, not people or things, read Deuteronomy 4:29,But if from there you shall seek the LORD your God, you shall find him, if you seek him with all your heart and with all your soul. Have you ever been late to meet someone? Let us get some understanding, the God we serve is always on time and we need to give Him thanks for always being on time. Everything is working by God's time table. Read John 6:37,All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. This verse shows us that it is never too late to come to God, let people know that God is the way and truth, and do this with love.Paul give us a warning, if our confident hope in the resurrection wavers, we are sure to abandon ourselves to the ways and standards of the world.Read Ephesians 4:14-15,That we from now on be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, by which they lie in wait to deceive;But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, who is the head, even Christ. God says in 2 Chronicles 17:14, that If my people, who are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. Ask God for a repentant heart today in the mighty name of Jesus. I pray for you in the name of Jesus that God would replace your stony heart with a heart of love.Let us fear the Lord's displeasure, and walk by the Spirit of the living God. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen ! 

 

The word for today is - Representing !

Good morning,

The word for today is - Representing !

 

Who do you represent? Ask yourself, are you representing the Kingdom of God ? We are called to represent Christ in every situation by depending on Him for strength to overlook and overcome somethings. We don't have to react the way that the world does,believers must respond differently.We don't have to react to criticism with anger, we must ask God to help us to speak with truth and love. When people see you do they see the light of God dwelling in you? We have been changed and renewed to be more like Christ. Do you know the God that we serve is powerful and all knowing? Read Daniel 3:17, If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of your hand, O king. God, is able to deliver us from anything! God has made us alive in Christ so we can worship Him and live according to His plan. Jesus' paid the price for you and I,read 1 Corinthians 6:20, For you are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's. He suffered for us,read 1 Peter 3:17-19,For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing.For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison. So, will you preach the gospel ( the good news) of Jesus Christ, where ever you go? Lets get some understanding about God, He is in control of everything, nothing and no one can over power or overtake God. God said in His word, I AM the great, I AM, when we were powerless Christ died for us, read Romans 5:6, For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. We were reconciled to God through the death of His Son Jesus, read Romans 5:10,For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. And we give you (Lord) thanks. We have been crucified with Christ, we should be representing Him, read Galatians 2:20, I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ lives in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. Wow, that is true Love! Heavenly Father, we thank you for your One and Only Son (Jesus), who laid down His life for us ( the believers), 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.Thank you for your word. Amen !
