The words for this weekend is - Listening to God !

This will be the last message for one month.

The words for this weekend is - Listening to God !

The Spirit of God is moving, are you listening? We must be ready to listen to the sound of God. Listening to God requires a deliberate choice to shut out the chaos around us and focus ourselves on the thoughts. My sheep hear my voice, read John 10:27-28,My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. The Lord said to commit yourselves to Him, and trust Him, read Psalm 37:5-6, Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday. The Spirit is calling you, read John 8:47,He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God. Listening to God requires a heart committed to understand His message. God often speaks to us in visual images. Consider the example of the prophet Habakkuk, in Habakkuk chapter 2. The prophet longed to hear from God! He was so determined that he was willing to stand and wait as long as it took. Habakkuk found that God was faithful. "Then the LORD replied, 'Write down the revelation and make it plain on tablets so that a herald may run with it. For the revelation awaits an appointed time; it speaks of the end and will not prove false. Read Habakkuk 2:1-2,I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved. And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

 

The word for today is - Visions !

I'm sorry this was Friday's word.
The word for today is - Visions !
The question arises often as to whether God in this dispensation speaks to men and women,directly in dreams or visions? God used visions in the Old Testament and the New Testament in an pointed time. We must ask by what Biblical standard says? During Old Testament times the people did not have the written word of God, therefore God directed them through the prophet who recorded what God told them and that became the written word.Read 2 Peter 1:20-21,Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. God relayed His messages through the power of the Holy Spirit, to His chosen servants by visions and dreams.Read Amos 3:7,Surely the Lord God will do nothing, unless he reveals his secret unto his servants the prophets. In conclusion one thing is clear, it is the word of God that man speaks, one came in a vision and another in the Bible. God is now revealing Himself through His written Word in the New Testament to the people,read John 1:1-2,In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.The same was in the beginning with God. Let us get some understanding of his word, read Joel 2:28-31, And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit. And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood,before the great and terrible day of the Lord. Amen !

The word for today is - Wisdom!

I'm sorry this was Thursday's word.

The word for today is - Wisdom!

"Heavenly Father"give us wisdom!

Union with Christ makes the heaven-born soul truly wise, because when Christ is formed within us, we are given the mind of Christ and know all things (1 Corinthians 2:16). Wisdom is given by which God, whose glory is revealed in the face of Jesus Christ, is made known in the soul of the believers. All truely spiritually knowledge is derived from Christ, and it is only those who submit to his teaching who are made wise unto salvation. Christ is our Wisdom within to direct our paths, guide us in his way, and order our steps day by day. We get you thanks for your wisdom. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

 

The word for today is - Happening !

Good morning,

The word for today is - Happening !

 

If you read the word of God everything that is happening around us in this world, is in the word of God. The word says, that there will be terrible times,there will be conflict with nations, children disobedient to their parents, mankind will be lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God and some people will have a form of godliness, read 2 Timothy 3:1-5,This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,Without natural affection, truce breakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. God never ever wanting anyone to perish, but he wanted everyone to come to repentance and turn back to Him. God is not slow concerning His word, read 2 Peter 3:9-10, The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. Jesus tells us to watch for the signs we must recognize them, for we do not know the hour or day for His return, but let us not be sleeping, read Mark 13:35-37,Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning:Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping. And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch. The Old Testament scriptures collectively provide a comprehensive prophetic message,and the alignment of the nations in the last days. Read Zechariah 12:1-3, The burden of the word of the Lord for Israel, saith the Lord, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him. Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem. And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !   

The word for today is - Plans !

The word for today is - Plans !

 

The word of God says, I know the plans I have for you. So always be ready to do the will of God, keep this in mind. Read Titus 3:1-6, 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.But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;  Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour. Thank you Jesus for saving us ( your children)! Understand this, God has a perfect plan for His children, read Psalm 33:11,The counsel of the , Lord stands forever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations. Scripture makes it abundantly clear that there is a plan for your life. This is the will of God, how profound is this ? Read Psalm 92:5, O Lord, how great are your works! and your thoughts are very deep. God’s plan for creation is all about the establishment of the “Kingdom of God". We have work to do for the Kingdom of God.  Jesus, instructed His disciples to take no provisions for their journey, the power is within you (the holy spirit).  Let us go into the world and speak and preach about the Kingdom of God at hand, read Matthew 10:7, And as you go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. Understand this Jesus sent them, not man, read Luke 9:2,And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick. This was and is the subject matter of ministry, which they were to proclaim aloud in every place that they went, it is the same also for us today. This power is within you to minister to the lost. Go you are a minister or laborer in the Gospel vineyard, this is the will of God for your life. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !      

The words for today is - Thank You !

Good morning,

The words for today is - Thank You !

 

Thank You Lord  for all you have done for me ! The bible says, give thanks in everything, read 1 Thessalonians 5:17-19, Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. Quench not the Spirit. We must praise Him in the good times and the bad times. This is the will of God concerning us the believers, let us praise His Holy Name. Jesus Christ is our Savior, we should thank Him for what He has done for us. He died for us ( the believers), not one of us can imagine the pain He suffered. His sacrifice was for the people that loves Him, read John 10:11, I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd gives his life for the sheep. Jesus said, No one can take my life from me. I sacrifice it voluntarily, for my sheep. Jesus chose you for a purpose, He called you out from the darkness of this world into the marvellous light, 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. When you wake up in the morning do you say, Thank You Lord for this day? The bible says, this is the day that the Lord has made rejoice and be glad, read Psalm 118:24, This is the day which the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. Why? Because God has spared us another day and has giving us new mercy daily the Lord has blessed us, read Numbers 6:24-26, The Lord bless thee, and keep thee:The Lord make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.We give you all the praise and honour Lord, for you have create everything that is, read Isaiah 45:6-7, That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the Lord, and there is none else. I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things. God is in Control of everything. Thank you for your word. Amen !

The word for the weekend is - Perseverance !

The word for the weekend is - Perseverance !

 

Life and people can be difficult sometimes, but we must endure to the end, we must love one another and pray for one another. Some people are thinking why should we endure anything? The answer to this question is, for I (Jesus) endured to the end, if you are attached to me (Jesus) you will endure also. Remember, that the world hated Jesus first and the world will hate you also,read John 15:18, If the world hates you, you know that it hated me before it hated you. But the one who endures to the end will be blessed, read Matthew 10:22, And you shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endures to the end shall be saved. So,stand firm in the Lord and let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, read 1Corinthians15:58, Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, since you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord. All who have been “born again” do have eternal security and will persevere. Do you not know the story of Job, God restored his fortunes, read Job 42:10, And the Lord restored the fortunes of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before. Let us move forward in God, and  forget those things which are behind us, press toward the mark for the prize which is in Christ Jesus. He who began a good work in you will bring it to completion,be confident of this, read Philippians 1:6-7, Being confident of this very thing, that he who has begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ: Even as it is right for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart; since as both in my bonds, and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel, you all are partakers of my grace. We will receive the “crown of life” which God has promised us the believers, read James 1:11-12, For the sun is no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withers the grass, and its flower falls, and the beauty of the appearance of it perishes: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways. Blessed is the man that endures trial: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord has promised to them that love him. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !   

The word for today is - Love !

Good morning,

The word for today is - Love ! 

 

Do you have the love of God in you? If you don't know what this means, it is an unconditional, an everlasting love. Whatever is in you comes out of you! Let us turn back to God, He will take away all anger, read Hosea 14:1-4,O Israel, return unto the Lord thy God; for thou hast fallen by thine iniquity.Take with you words, and turn to the Lord : say unto him, Take away all iniquity, and receive us graciously: so will we render the calves of our lips. Asshur shall not save us; we will not ride upon horses: neither will we say any more to the work of our hands, Ye are our gods: for in thee the fatherless findeth mercy. I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely: for mine anger is turned away from him. Can we love one another freely? The word of God says, Love is patient and kind, love is forever, is this love in you, read 1 Corinthians 13:4-7, Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. This word is truth, let us love unconditional. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

The word for today is - Rooted !

Good morning,

The word for today is - Rooted !

How far are you rooted in Jesus Christ? How far down do roots go? It is difficult to determine exactly, though roots need to be entrenched a seriously long way to support the tree standing above ground level. If the roots become severed or disconnected the tree will not continue to grow. Likewise if the roots do not receive sufficient water after a period of time it will start dying. Water is an essential ingredient for life! It is absolutely vital, so vital that without it, we die. The Bible tells us that God is the Fountain of Life and Living Water. Without Him and His Life and water; we are dead. Read Jeremiah 2:13,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.The word of God says, Come and drink , from me (Jesus), read Revelation 22:17, And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely. Some people may ask,what was Adam and Eve's problem? They ate from the wrong tree and others need to be careful that they don't eat from the wrong tree and produce bad fruit also. Adam and Eve ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and then they tried to hide. Could they hide from God? No,of course not! Why? Because God is omnipresent, omniscient and omnipotent and their efforts to hide were futile. Let us seek the true vine,Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ portrays Himself as the true vine of God to His disciples for a two-fold purpose: First, to let His disciples know that even though He would not be physically present with them always, He would send the Holy Spirit to be “with” and “in” them. Second, He uses this opportunity to instruct them to remain in close fellowship with Him, the only True Source of life, through the power of the Holy Spirit, that they may bear spiritual fruit, receive answers to prayer, and have fullness of joy. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

The word for today is - Impact!

Good morning,

The word for today is - Impact!

 

The impact of your words brings life or death to others, read Proverbs 18:20-21, A man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled. Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. Do you know the impact of your words ? We can use hurtful words or wise words, read Proverbs 12:17-19, He that speaketh truth sheweth forth righteousness: but a false witness deceit. There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise is health.The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue is but for a moment.Understand this, what goes into the mouth don't defiles a person, but what comes out of the mouth this defiles a person, read Matthew 15:10-11, And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand:Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man. Let us speak encouraging words, not discouraging words to one another daily. Don't let anything come out of your mouth that is discouraging, read Ephesians 4:29, Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.Thank you Lord for your words. Amen !

The word for today is - Water !

The word for today is - Water !

 

The bible says, if anybody is thirsty let him come unto Him for water read John 7:37, In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. The bible is very clear, Whoever believes in me come, Jesus said, read John 7:38-39, He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.(But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.) Do you not know that the believers have living water within them? Its spiritual water, it comes from God . Let us read about the woman at the well, she said can I have this water so that I will not be thirsty or have to come here to draw water at this well again? Read John 4:13-15, Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw. The question for you today is, are you thirsty for this water? It is everlasting, its eternal life! Heavenly Father we thank you for your living water today and forever more ! Thank you for your word. Amen !

The word for today is - Almighty !

The word for today is - Almighty !

 

The almighty hand of God is with us ( the believers), let us praise His Holy Name! Read Psalm 91:1-10,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.This means sickness and disease will not overtake your house, or your body if you dwell in the secret place of the Most High, and abide under the shadow of the Almighty. This passage goes on to say in verse 11, For He shall give His angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways.Every one of us has a guardian angel, that angel has been keeping you from trouble. Not only do you have angels, but the Bible says, God will give His angels charge over you. This means He commissions them to mount guard over us. “God Almighty” indicate throughout the Scriptures that He is God, who is an all-powerful God with every resource to fulfill every promise to the believers. The Almighty God, who the believers is bountiful, protective, and the supplier of the believers every need, we give you praise Lord! Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

The word for this weekend is - Race !

Good morning,

The word for this weekend is - Race !

 

When you see people running a race what do you believe? I believe that everyone  is running to win. But we know that only one will win, but there is something that needs to be done first every athlete should and must exercise daily and eat very healthy foods right ?That is why they have trainers,someone who cheers them on and encourages them to never give up. Now think about that for a second okay?So,now let us think about the spiritual man or woman, we are in a race also. The bible is very clear it says, all the runners run ,but only one will get the prize, read 1 Corinthians 9:24, Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. So, when we are running we should be running like a winner, why? Because we are renewed, we gain new strength from God, 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. You have to understand that the believers get their strength from God. He increases our strength daily, He is the the Creator of Heaven and earth, nothing that is , is without Him. So let the word of God speak to you, the word says learn from me, 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. So let us embrace the spiritual food, the word of God, that we all need. Are you in training to keep yourself connected to God ? Paul says that athletes go into strict training, they give up somethings and do somethings differently while they are in training? We need to study or read the word of God daily. What is the differences? One is for a season and the other is for eternally. Run your race with joy. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

The word for today is - Persecuted

Good morning,

The word for today is - Persecuted !

The believers are persecuted daily, why? Because, all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution, read 2 Timothy 3:10-13, But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, long-suffering, charity, patience,Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me.Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. The day that we follow after Jesus Christ and pick up the cross we will be persecuted. The bible is very clear about those who are persecuted for righteousness’ will be blessed, read Matthew 5:10-12,Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. So, let us take persecution with gladness. Understand we are his workmanship,they persecuted Jesus Christ first. The question for us today is are we greater then Jesus Christ __? Read Ephesians 2:10, For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. The growing believers are warn to expect persecution. We are not to be surprised when persecution comes our way, we are to stand firm on the word of God. Read 1 Peter 4:11-13, 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.Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy. So let us rejoice and be glad in it. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

The word for today is - Firm !

Good morning,

The word for today is - Firm !

 

Let us stand firm to the end. We must stand firm in our faith,many will turn from the faith of God and trust man.The more difficult things get, the more important it is to be able to stand firm on the word of God. We have been warn by the word of God. It is in 1 Peter, he warns us that the devil is like a man-eating lion, read 1 Peter 5:8-9, Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. Lets keep our eye's on God's word, the bible says, that we are hard-pressed on every side daily, read 2 Corinthians 4:8-10, We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.So, it is very important for us stand firm as the challenges of life come our way.We can be able to stand firm against Satan's strategies, when we put on the whole armor of God. Read Ephesians 6: 10-12, Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 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 high places.When we put on the armour of God, His spirit surrounds us and keeps us safe. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

The word for today is - Period !

Good morning, The word for today is - Period ! Think for a second about the time period of your life? The bible says, that Heaven and earth will pass away, but God 's word is forever more. So, what does the bible mean "forever"? There is two things in a period of time that will last forever, one the word of God and people. Let us thank God for his living word. Let us treasure God’s Word like Job who said it was worth more than his daily food, or David who said it was more valuable than fine gold. There are many people who have been saved for a long period of time, but have grown very little. There are many people who have been saved for a brief period and have grown very much. Certainly time is a factor in spiritual growth in some cases (those who continue to grow over a long period of time will be more mature than one who has grown over a shorter period). But the amount of time isn't what is important; it is a commitment to the principles of growth that makes the difference. We don't measure spiritual maturity by the calendar year. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

The word for today is - Control !

The word for today is - Control !

God works all things out according to His plan, all we need to do is trust Him, read Ephesians 1:11-12, In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will: That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. The word of God says, He knows the plans that He has for us, read Jeremiah 29:10-11, 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. God has mad everything for a purpose, read Proverbs 16:3-4, Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established. The Lord hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil. The God said for us not to worry about tomorrow or life, read Matthew 6:25-26,Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? The answer is Yes ! The bible tells us to cast all of our cares on him (Jesus), 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 careth for you. God takes care of His children. Everyone needs a bit of encouragement from time to time, the most important thing to remember is to know that God is in control ! God does everything at His own time, so we should rely on him always. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

 

The word for today is - Forever !

Good morning,

The word for today is - Forever !

The bible does not teach that humans will live forever here on earth. Forever is mentioned 290 times in the Bible. We should know that no one can live forever in this world.So, the question is where can we live forever? There is two places, Heaven and hell. Now Jesus answered an said, “My kingdom is not of this world," read John 18:36,Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from here. God's kingdom is not a earthly kingdom, it is not of the same nature as earthly kingdoms. It was not originated for the same purpose, or conducted on the same plan. God's kingdom is supernatural, purely spiritual and divine.The people of this world are carnal minded, thinking about living here on earth forever, let us not be foolish, by worldly wisdom. Carnal minded people can not submit to God's ways, they walk by the flesh mind set, read Romans 8:5-7, For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.The word of God says, if you need wisdom you should ask, read James 1:5, If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all men liberally, and reproaches not; and it shall be given him. God's wisdom enables us to understand the purpose for life and death. When your away from God's presence there is nothing but darkness around you. Without the grace of God, and righteousness of Jesus Christ eternal darkness will overtake you, read Matthew 22:13, Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Now, let us get some understanding about hell, it is a place of everlasting destruction, a place of conscious punishment forever. Read 2 Thessalonians 1:8-10, In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day. It is a place for the rich and the poor, a place for any and everyone that has turn away from God. Heavenly Father , I go before you at the throne of Grace. Help your people to turn back to you, before they fall into the bottomless pit. Everyone wonders what eternal life will be like? Let us be like Paul who looked forward to the time he could leave this earthly life behind and be with you, Our Lord and Savior! Amen ! Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

The word for this weekend is - Life !

The word for this weekend is - Life !

It is time to get serious about your life and others! Think about your life for a second,have you done your best to speak about the Good News of Jesus Christ to someone else? Are you looking forward or backwards? What are you going to do about the things you can not change? What have you done this year ? If we are honest about the Lord and our goals and desires for this year we have to move much faster.Why? Because, there is a mandate called by God for ever believer to go forth and speak about the Kingdom of God. It is our commission by God to go and preach and teach about the kingdom of God at hand first. Why? Jesus said, because My people have been lost sheep; their shepherds have led them astray, read Jeremiah 50:6,My people have been lost sheep: their shepherds have caused them to go astray, they have turned them away on the mountains: they have gone from mountain to hill, they have forgotten their resting place. He said, they are wandering from place to place, there is no one to take care of them, no one to guide and direct them. We must lay aside our goals and desires and put God first and seek the Kingdom of God. Then everything else will be added to your life, read Matthew 6:33,But seek you first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Jesus commanded His disciples to go into all the world and preach the gospel. The key word is “Go", the greatest need is for the people to hear the good news,read Romans 10:12-14,For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. 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? Jesus said, Go and announce to them that the Kingdom of Heaven is near. Jesus sent out the twelve disciples with the following instructions, to preach the kingdom of God ,read Matthew 10:7-8, And as you go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons: freely you have received, freely give. We have the responsibility to go and make disciples of all nations. Do you not know the greatest Commission? Read Matthew 28:19-20,Go you therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit: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 is - Truth !

The word for today is - Truth !

We all need the knowledge of the word of God. Let us get some understanding that everyone never comes to the knowledge of the truth. Why? Those that are of the world loves the things of the world. Because they belong to this world, read 1 John 4:5, They are of the world: therefore they speak of the world, and the world hears them.Understand that the believers are not of this world, read John 17:16-17,They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. When Jesus says they, He is talking about you and me ( the believers)! If you belonged to the world, it would love you also. Understand your not, that is why the people of this world hates you. Because, Jesus chose you, read John 15:19,If you were of the world, the world would love its own: but because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. Jesus said to the people who believed in Him, if you believe the truth you will be set free, read John 8:31-32, Then said Jesus to those Jews who believed on him, If you continue in my word, then are you my disciples indeed; And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. The word of God says, Jesus is the way, the truth and the 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. Do you not know that everything that comes from God is true? Read John 3:31, He that comes from above is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaks of the earth: he that comes from heaven is above all. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

The word for today is - Test !

The word for today is - Test !

Understand this, we must test the spirit and know if the spirit is of God. Jesus said, do not believe every spirit, read 1 John 4:1,Beloved, believe not every spirit, but test the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.Some people claim to be under the influence of the Spirit of God, but they are not.We need evidence that he or she has come or sent by the will of God.The word says, that many false prophets are gone out into the world speaking a word. Every person or teacher, who professes to be qualified and sent by him is not.A true minister of the Gospel has the Spirit of God.So how can you test the spirit and know want spirit it is? This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God, every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God,but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. Read1 John 4:2-4,Hereby know ye the Spirit of God:Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God:and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. The word says, watch out for wolves who come to you in sheep's clothing, speaking in different kinds of tongues, read Matthew 7:15, Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ask yourself why is their language not clear to you? It is because the words that they speak is not from God, their words are from their father the devil, read John 8:43-44, Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. Heavenly Father, we thank you for your words. Amen !

The word for today is - Escape !

The word for today is - Escape !

There is no place that you could go to escape God’s presence. God is not limited by time or space.God has made a way for us to escape temptation, read 1 Corinthians 10:13, There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. Understand this we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ and we all will bow down before Him, read 2 Corinthians 5:10, For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. What race are you running? Let us run with patience,read Hebrews 12:1-2,Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. Let us get understanding of the will of God,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. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

The word for today is - Instruction !

Good evening,
The word for today is - Instruction !

Are you a disciple of Jesus Christ ? Jesus sent forth the twelve disciples with instructions, of spiritual knowledge.These twelve disciples walked with Jesus, and learned His ways.Jesus chose the twelve disciples very carefully, He knew that eleven would follow Him, and one would betray Him, his name was Judas.The word “disciple” refers to a learner or follower of Jesus Christ. God used ordinary everyday people like you and me for a purpose,but he chose twelve for a special job at that time. Some fishermen, a tax collector, some unschooled, ordinary men,God chose to empower them with supernatural gifts and abilities to succeed. None of the twelve was highly educated, yet remarkably men of God.The disciples had faults and characterflaws also.They were incredibly ordinary, just like you and me.It is said that leaders are born with specific innate gifts that need to be molded into true leaders. God called them to Himself, read Mark 6:7-9, And he called unto him the twelve, and began to send them forth two by two; and gave them power over unclean spirits;And commanded them that they should take nothing for their journey, except a staff only; no bag, no bread, no money in their purse:But to wear sandals; and not put on two coats. His instructions "Take nothing for your journey". They had left all that they had, when Jesus called them forth. Jesus asked a question, "when I sent you out to preach or teach did you lack anything?" Read,Luke 22:35, And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and bag, and sandals, lacked you anything? And they said, Nothing. They were provided for with everything necessary for them; they had both food and water in every place they when, the hearts of men were opened to them by Christ to receive them everywhere they when. It is the same Spirit today for His disciples, he will provide for us also, your instructions is to go and make disciples of all the nations, read Mark 16:15,And he said unto them, Go you into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

 

Good morning,

The word for today is - Day !

Have you learned to rejoice in everything? The word of God says, rejoice in this day, read Psalm 118:24,This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. So,let us rejoice and be glad in it. This is the works of the Lord.We should be praising the Lord,and rejoicing in Him, and being full of praises for the fact that we are still here for a purpose. The word of God says, to rejoice in the Lord always, read Philippians 4:4,Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice. The Philippians would not be hindered by any afflictions that the wicked imagine and work against them. So,we too have to rejoice in Christ even in times of affliction, distress, and persecution , when things are good or bad. The Lord knows what is best for us, the Lord knows the beginning and the end, a man's steps are directed by the Lord. Read Proverbs 20:24, A man's steps are of the Lord; how can a man then understand his own way? Sometimes it is not easy to rejoice, but that does not change the command or word of God. It is God’s will that we find joy in everything.Why ? Because we the believers know that God always work things out 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.Whatever you do today, don’t take it for granted that it is a free day, no work, no worries, so you can just take it easy and rest, relax, and do what you really want to do. The word of God says, Rejoice !!Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

The word for the weekend is - Builded

Good morning,

The word for the weekend is - Builded !

We know that the bible describes two different classes of people, one class will hear the Gospel and believe it, and the other class will reject the Gospel. Jesus teaches a parable, Jesus says, the way we live our lives is like the way we would build a house. The foundation is what we build upon. So is your foundation builded on the rock or is your foundation builded on sand ? We need a solid foundation, understand this, our lives are going to be tested to see if we are building on a strong foundation. The storms of live comes to test the foundation to see if we will stand on the word of God, or if we will fail and fall. If you build your life on anything other then Jesus Christ it will not stand it will fall. Also, if your life is builded on anything else, it will crumble also! The word of God says, that a time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine, to suit their own desires. In other words they will not listen to the truth, they will turn away from the truth. They will refuse to listen to the truth , read 2 Timothy 4:3-4, For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they draw to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto myths. Because they turned away from God, He gives them up to a reprobate mind, a mind void of sense and judgment. The word of God is very clear, honor is for you who believe in Him, and those who do not believe will fail. The unbeliever will keep on stumbling because they disobey the word of God, but for the believers when everything else falls apart, they can stand on the word of God and His Promises. When you build on the rock the gates of hell can not overtake you, read Matthew 16:18-19, And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven:and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven:and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Do you not know that Jesus was a carpenter? Jesus tells a parable that compares and contrasts two builders,one wise and one foolish,read Matthew 7:24-27,Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it. When tough times come, people can either draw closer to God and cling to Him for protection, or they can turn away from Him. You choose, life or death, read 2 Peter 3;8-11, But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness.Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !
