Tribute to African Americans this Month !

Tribute to African Americans this Month ! It's February, the month that is dedicated as Black History Month, honoring the triumphs and struggles of African Americans throughout U.S. history, including the civil rights movement and their artistic, cultural and political achievements.To honor someone is to show him or her the respect and how much we value them. God wants us to honor one another in this life with love and truth.This week we're giving honor to the six men who served as Tuskegee Airmen Pilots. We're honoring Mr.Charles Alfred ‘Chief’ Anderson born (1907-1996)died. Known as the father of Black aviation, Mr.Charles Anderson was Tuskegee’s chief civilian flight instructor during World War II. In 1932, after receiving his pilot’s license, he was the only Black flight instructor in the United States. In the coming years, along with another Black aviation pioneer, Dr. Albert Forsythe, Anderson completed several “firsts” for African American pilots. Among their feats,Mr. Anderson and Mr.Forsythe made the first transcontinental round trip by black pilots: Atlantic City to Los Angeles in 1933. In 1941, as the chief aviation instructor at Tuskegee, Mr.Anderson gave First Lady Mrs.Eleanor Roosevelt a flight during her visit to Tuskegee. She had heard, in her words, “that colored people couldn’t fly,” but after their short trip could say, “Well, I see you can fly all right!” Coverage of her visit helped cement support in Washington for the program. During World War II,Mr.Anderson was Tuskegee’s ground commander and chief aviation instructor for the 99th Pursuit Squadron. After World War II, Chief Anderson continued training pilots at Moten Field in Tuskegee.In 2014, he became the first Tuskegee Airman to be featured on a U.S. postage stamp. For it is written in Romans 12:10, Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves. Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. We have to be devoted to each other in words and in deeds of other people. Whenever we serve others, we're serving " God's Will." Most of us know the verse, for it is written in Mark 10:45, "For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” Understand, when Jesus said this, He was talking about Him serving the "Will of Our Heavenly Father"and for the believers of Christ Jesus.The Bible may be what we call the "Written Word of God,"but let's understand that Jesus is the "Living Word of God." We have to realize that it's "Living and Active" still today. We must read it and meditate on the Word of the Lord day and night, so we can get the full complete revelation of God's Word, that we have in Christ Jesus. Abba Father thank you for "YOUR WORD." For it is written in James 5:7-8, Be patient, then, brothers and sisters, until the Lord’s coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop, patiently waiting for the autumn and spring rains.You too, be patient and stand firm, because the Lord’s coming is near. May the spirit of Yahweh keep us and strengthen us by "His Spirit." For it is written in Ephesians 3:16-21,I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord's holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge--that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. We pray for Israel, we pray for our families, we pray for one another, the sick, the needy and the oppressed,our country and we pray for those in authority in Washington DC, our churches, our teachers, our officers, our communities, the prison system, our local states and national leaders, the nation & nations, our front line workers and the body of Christ. Lord, I pray that we all have your wisdom in moving forward on the earth. Let us seek, "Your Will God" for the body of Christ. For it is written in 2 Chronicles 7:14, If my people, which 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. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen ! This is my prayer for 2021, not my will, but "Your Will be done Lord".Others can follow the word at :  http://1spiritualfood.blogspot.com/
