Did you know that, Blacks Absent from History Books? Americans have recognized black history annually since 1926, first as "Negro History Week" and later as "Black History Month."
What you might not know is that black history had barely begun to be
studied-or even documented-when the tradition originated. Although
blacks have been in America at least as far back as colonial times, it
was not until the 20th century that they gained a respectable presence
in the history books. We owe the celebration of Black History Month, and more importantly, the study of black history, to Dr. Carter G. Woodson.
Born to parents who were former slaves, he spent his childhood working
in the Kentucky coal mines and enrolled in high school at age twenty. He
graduated within two years and later went on to earn a Ph.D. from
Harvard. The scholar was disturbed to find in his studies that history
books largely ignored the black American population-and when blacks did
figure into the picture, it was generally in ways that reflected the
inferior social position they were assigned at the time.
Good morning Children of God,
The Living Word of God - Blessing !
People
of God it's a blessing to awake everyday.To give God all the glory and
honor for watching over us. Amen ! While in this world, where there is
so much corruption in the heart of people God loves us. Now understand
this, a covetous person makes a god of his or her money; places that
hope, confidence, and delight, in worldly good, which should be in God
only.Those who allow themselves, either in the lusts of the flesh or the
love
of the world, belong not to the kingdom of grace, nor shall they come
to the kingdom of glory.We have to be thankful for the peace that God
gives to His beloved children daily.People of God we're called to do a
good work for the Lord. In all that you do from this day forward, don't
forget to give God thanks. For it is written in Colossians 3:15-17,And
let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are
called in one body; and be ye thankful. Let the
word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and
admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing
with grace in your hearts to the Lord. And whatsoever ye do in word or
deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the
Father by him. People let us do everything in the name of the Lord,
believing in Him by His Word and Power. Now let us look at Ephesians
5:1-4,Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; And walk in
love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself
for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.But
fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once
named among you, as becometh saints;Neither filthiness, nor foolish
talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of
thanks.The desire to give glory to God extends beyond praise and
worship, God has giving us a warning. We must be faithful and true to
Him.The prophet, Jeremiah, urged God’s people to repent and confess.
Listen, Do not be to proud, for the Lord has spoken. Give glory to the
Lord your God before it is too late ! Once again God demanded the truth.
“If you will not hear, and if you will not take it to heart, to give
glory to My name,’ says the Lord of hosts, ‘I will send a curse upon
you, and I will curse your blessings. As we worship in true holiness,
the real beauty of God Himself is
revealed. It is the beauty of the angels giving Him glory in the
heavenly realm; it is the beauty of the saints, partaking of God’s
divine nature. For it is written in Malachi 2:1-2,And now, O ye priests,
this commandment is for you.If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay
it to heart, to give
glory unto my name, saith the LORD of hosts, I will even send a curse
upon you, and I will curse your blessings: yea, I have cursed them
already, because ye do not lay it to heart. Heavenly Father, Children of God get understanding,For
it is written in 1John 3:9-10,Whosoever is born of God doth not commit
sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is
born of God.In this the children of God are manifest, and the children
of the devil:
whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth
not his brother.We thank you Lord for your Living Word. Amen !Good morning Children of God,
The Living Word of God - Blessing !
