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.The third Monday of every February is a day to remember the Nation's Presidents especially the first one. In history, the day's official name is Washington's Birthday after President George Washington, whose birth date was February 22, 1732. So, today we're giving honor to the first two black women that ran for the highest office in the country. Mrs.Charlene Mitchell, presidential candidate of the Communist party, in 1968. Although it’s been widely and incorrectly reported that Mrs.Chisholm was the first Black woman to run for president, Mrs.Charlene Mitchell actually beat her to it. Just 38 years old at the time, Mrs.Mitchell entered the 1968 presidential race on the Communist Party ticket with running mate Mr.Michael Zagarell, the party’s national youth director. Mrs.Mitchell’s platform included plans to fight racial and economic injustice, but she only appeared on the ballot in two states. Understand that we have to show love for others just like Jesus Christ and make sacrifices for others. People with strong moral character make sacrifices for the greater good for others. For it is written in 1 John 4:14-16, And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in them and they in God. And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them. This is a lesson for us all in the world, examine yourselves people. For it is written in 2 Corinthians 13:5, Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you—unless, of course, you fail the test? We walk by faith, not by sight. We have to live and believe that it's a purpose for our lives. Now let's honor Mrs.Shirley Chisholm, With the motto “unbought and unbossed,” in 1972, Mrs.Chisholm ran for president four years after Mrs.Mitchell. She had already made history when she became the first African American congresswoman in 1968, after having served in the New York State Assembly. In her campaign, Mrs.Chisholm sought to advocate for low-income people, women and other marginalized groups. She also prioritized issues related to the employment and education sectors, as she had a background in education.“She realized at a certain point that nobody's going to give her an opportunity unless she makes the opportunity happen for herself, and she could do that because she had been employed as a school teacher, she had saved money and had a stable home life, and she was supported by a group of political activists in her political district,” Lynch says. But, she adds, Mrs.Chisholm’s success in politics would not have happened without the social changes that the civil rights movement had fostered. Mrs.Chisholm died in 2005. Let us pray for the oppressed, those who are persecuted,for freedom and liberty for all, for unity and injustice, for healing in the land, the minds and hearts of all God's people. The understanding of true love for it is written in 1 Corinthians 13:3-7, If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Abba Father thank you for "YOUR WORD." I cry out to you today Lord, forgive us and help us learn to love one another unconditionally in this nation/nations. Lord, we all need to have agape Love for each other. We need to hear from "You Lord" let us return back to the altar ! 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/
