The message for the beloved Children of God - Having A Good Foundation !

Do you have a strong foundation? Read 1 Timothy 6:19-21, Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life. O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen. Understanding this has to do with a good foundation for your future.The Apostle is not speaking of laying a foundation here on earth, to build upon, but laying up a foundation in heavenly things, because it is solid and substantial, it's treasures of life. Riches here on earth are “uncertain” because they pertain to “this present world”, which is passing away everyday. Let our minds be on things above. Choose for yourself "treasures of this world", or "treasures for the world to come.'' Read 1 Timothy 6:9-10, But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. Nothing is more uncertain than worldly wealth. Being rich in this world is different then being rich in Christ Jesus. You may be thinking, " I’m not rich and I never will be.” This is not true for many of us. Perhaps some of us are not rich with money, by the worldly standards, but we’re (the believers) are rich in the spirit. Do you live indoors? Do you have electricity and heat ? Do you have something to eat and clean water to drink ? If your answer to any of these questions is yes, your rich ! Give, God thanks for what He has giving to you freely ! When your not rich in the spirit realm it's easy for you to look down on the poor and think your better. The word of God tells us that, it is wrong. Do you know the story of, The Rich Young Ruler in the bible? Read Matthew 19:21-24, Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me. But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions. Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven. And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. Wow ! We should be asking the Lord how can we help to improve the lifestyles of the poor, the widows, the orphan and strangers that are in need with our wealth. We must be faithful to others that are in need, because God is faithful to us. Read Luke 16:11-13, If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches? And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who shall give you that which is your own? 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. Heavenly Father, help us to be more like you daily. Let us learn to help one another daily. For it is written in Zechariah 7:9-10, Thus speaketh the Lord of hosts, saying, Execute true judgment, and shew mercy and compassions every man to his brother: And oppress not the widow, nor the fatherless, the stranger, nor the poor; and let none of you imagine evil against his brother in your heart. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

The message for the beloved Children of God -Losing a Love One !

Good morning,

The message for the beloved Children of God -Losing a Love One !

Heavenly Father, I come before you at the throne of grace today 03/10/14, interceding for my family. Let them find hope in you Lord, let them have no fear or doubt of your power and your will. For you Lord have the power to give life and only you Lord, can take it away. Let them no long be ignorant to your word. The words of the Lord, read 1Thessalonians 4:13-18, But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words. I would like to thank all of my email friends for your prayers for my beloved family. My Uncle was called home by God this morning, for this is His (God's) will. To my beloved family, God knows and understands what we're going through at this time coping with the death of Uncle Wesley. Read 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. Through it all, we must trust God's plan, for He is faithful to His word. For He is with us always, even in the valley of the shadow of death. Read Psalm 23:4, Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. God's love never changes, not even in death. Understand family and friends, nothing just happens, it always serve a purpose. I saw something taking place before me at the hospital. Everyone had the same mindset, being like-minded, having the same love, for my Uncle Wesley, being one in the spiritual realm. Read Romans 8:9, But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. Family and friends, death of a loved one is heartbreaking. When you love someone, you become vulnerable to the sorrow that comes from losing that person in death. I know that our grief will past away, but we had four beloved Uncle's (deceased- Cowboy 2012, Balls 2012, West 2014), now it's only our beloved Uncle Brother, who we love dearly. Understand that our grief will be temporary, and joy will come in the morning. God promise life after death, no more pain, and no more sorrow. Let us comfort one another family and friends. Spiritual growth takes place more in difficult times than in easy times. When a loved one dies, it's a valuable time to reflect on your own mortality and your relationship with God. Death is something that is going to happen one day for everyone. The Bible compares death to sleep more than fifty times. When we are asleep, we are unconscious; we are not aware of the passing of time or of what is going on around us. When He returns, our loved ones asleep in Christ will awake from their tombs. No matter how long the time has passed, if it's long or short to them. By the trump of God, they are called forth from their deep sleep, they will begin to awake to a glorious immortality. Read 1 Corinthians 15:52-55, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? Don't wait to tell someone your sorry, or you love them, your days are numbered. Heavenly Father, let us get some understanding to know that there is a time for everything under the sun. Family and friends, for it is written in Ecclesiastes 3:1-8, To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace. It's time to be restored back to God, every person days are numbered. It's in the word of God, read Job 14:5-6, Seeing his days are determined, the number of his months are with thee, thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass; Turn from him, that he may rest, till he shall accomplish, as an hireling, his day. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

The message for the beloved Children of God - God's Timing !

Thursday's message, my time and God's timing.

The message for the beloved Children of God - God's Timing !

For me my plans were to sit down and send the message out for Thursday. This was not God's plan for me Thursday night. My family had a phone call back to the hospital Thursday night it was a long night. We thank God for everything is much better for my Uncle Wesley now. We have to learn to trust God's timing and His plan. Read Jeremiah 29:11,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. An important lesson that I am continuing to learn each day is that God works things out in his own perfect timing. Some people are impatient type of people, they can't wait for God's timing. Understand, whatever issues you are facing today or yesterday, God is working on your behalf. Sometimes it's hard to understand why God doesn't allow things to happen fast. Remember, God has a plan for your life, just trust His word and pray. God's answer to your prayers maybe to wait for the perfect timing before he gives you your desires. Read Ecclesiastes 3:1,To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven. The most important thing to remember is that God loves you, and He wants the best for you. God will work things out in your life if you trust in him. The Bible talks about a man of God who had really bad timing, Moses. Moses was born at a time of extreme hardship in Israel's history. Pharaoh, seeing the Hebrew baby boys, as a potential threat, decreed that newborn Hebrew baby boys were to be killed by throwing them into the Nile River. Moses was protected and adopted by Pharaoh's daughter. Pharaoh's daughter went down to the Nile to bathe, and her attendants were walking along the riverbank. She saw the basket among the reeds and sent her female slave to get it. He was being raised as royalty, which meant that he would have been schooled in all that Egypt had to offer. But Moses still knew who he was, He was a true believer in the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Moses was a leader in training by God, what looked like the end was actually the beginning. Moses had to flee for his life, because He had killed the Egyptian, who had killed a Hebrew man. Forty years later, God appointed Moses to lead the children of Israel out of Egypt. What Moses did not realize was that God had been preparing him during that time. Heavenly Father, let us learn to wait on your timing. For it is written in Habakkuk 2:1-3, 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. For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. For the Lord is preparing us for a great work. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

The message for the beloved Children of God -The Whole Armour of God!

I'm asking for my e-mail family and friends to keep my Uncle Wesley in prayer for healing. Forgive me children of God, I have been going to the hospital everyday with my Oldest Uncle Brother and family, it has been a long night and morning, please keep us in your prayers. I'm trusting God's word and knowing that he's in control of everything. This is part two of Wednesday's message, The Whole Armor of God.

The message for the beloved Children of God -The Whole Armour of God!

We need to always have on The Whole Armour of God. People are asking why? The answer to the question is, because the devil, is going about like a roaring lion to see whom he can devour. 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. Understand, we are in this world, but not of this world. We have to stand on the battlefield and trust God's word. When your going into battle, you should always be prepare for the fight. Our perception and understanding of the battle becomes clearer over time. We don't decide when we want to fight, we have to be ready at all times for the fight. Stand firm and unmovable in Christ Jesus! The Spiritual Armor God has provided for us through Jesus Christ is able to withstand any attack of the enemy. God is our refuge and strength, He is our shield, and protector. The Lord is a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. Read Ephesians 6:14-20, Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 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. Heavenly Father, we trust your word. For it is written in Psalm 18:2, The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower. For we have the victory in Christ Jesus. Let us find comfort and encouragement through your word Lord.Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

The message for the beloved Children of God - The Full Armor !

The message for the beloved Children of God - The Full Armor !

Children of God we are in a battlefield daily, so put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against anything that comes your way daily. Sometimes we can do our best, but Satan ruins many, by putting them out of conceit with the word. Read Ephesians 6:12 -13, 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. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Understand, our armour is made to be worn at all times, and there is no putting off our armour intil we have done our battle and finish our course. Do you know the different parts of the armour of God? The devil is the wicked one, He is looking for a way in to steal, kill and destroy you. There is two plans, one is to please God, and the other is to please the devil. Today I want to give you fresh insight into this powerful scripture it says in John 10:10, Jesus said, "The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly." The thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy everything good in your life. The thief just wants to ruin anything he can get his hands on! The devil is very cunning in the way he steals from people. He knows that if he does it right, his actions will be recognized; therefore, he steals from people in such a deceptive way that he often accomplishes his evil goal before you know that He is gone. Then he is in another area doing the same tricks. Heavenly Father, we thank you for your full armor. Where would we be without you? Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

The message for the beloved Children of God - Relax !

The message for the beloved Children of God - Relax !

We all need to relax sometimes, relaxation is rest away from tension and stress.The word of God speaks very highly on rest. Read 1 Kings 8:56, Blessed be the Lord, that hath given rest unto his people Israel, according to all that he promised: there hath not failed one word of all his good promise, which he promised by the hand of Moses his servant. If we don't take time to renew our bodies and spirits, we'll run out of physical and spiritual strength. Read Isaiah 40:30-31, Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: 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. As you know, many times the multitudes followed Jesus, He was human, but He needed to find somewhere to get some peace. Jesus always went to Himself to pray. Jesus,would often slip away to places where he could be alone for prayer. It’s not surprising that Jesus Christ chose natural settings to relax and talk to God. Read Matthew 15:29, And Jesus departed from thence, and came nigh unto the sea of Galilee; and went up into a mountain, and sat down there. He sat down there and relaxed. Heavenly Father, we walk by your spirit in love and truth. For it is written in John 14:27, Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. We have to relax and trust God's word. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

 

The message for the beloved Children of God - Celebrating Life !

In honor of Black History Month, known also as African-American History Month in America. Everyday we will have a study on History and God's love.

Black History Month Is Celebrated

In the 21st century, many Americans question the need for Black History Month. Some argue that black history should be celebrated year-round, as it’s no different from American history generally. Others resent the month because they feel it singles out African Americans in ways that other racial groups are not. In fact, cultural observance months for Latinos, Native Americans and Asian Americans take place every year as well, and have for years. Harvard-educated historian Carter G. Woodson did not spearhead a time of year to recognize the achievements of blacks to exclude others but because the history books of his era largely ignored the contributions people of color made to U.S. Society. Reflecting on the origin of Black History Month will help naysayers clear up misconceptions about its founding and purpose. For years, African Americans have jokingly questioned the fact that Black History Month takes place in the shortest month of the year. The decision to celebrate African-American history in February was not an attempt to shortchange blacks but arrived at because one week in that month encompasses the birthdays of both Frederick Douglass and President Abraham Lincoln, which fell on the 14th and the 12th, respectively.Woodson died in 1950, but Negro History Week celebrations showed no signs of slowing down. By then several city mayors recognized the week. To boot, the burgeoning civil rights movement helped bolster interest in black life and the role African Americans played in making the U.S. the world superpower it is today. Given this, by the time the nation celebrated its bicentennial in 1976, the federal government decided to turn Negro History Week into Black History Month. Teachers give lessons to students about important African-American historical figures such as Harriet Tubman and the Tuskegee Airmen. Bookstores highlight the works of black poets and writers. Some people view the month as a time to reflect on slavery, the civil rights movement, the black power movement and the best ways to lift up the African-American community today.

The message for the beloved Children of God - Celebrating Life !

The Bible gives us reason to rejoice. We rejoice because God showed his love and grace to us. We have reason to celebrate because God is in control. Faith in Christ is the foundation for joy and hope in life. Jesus' life on earth, his death and resurrection is the cornerstone of our faith.This faith is not based on the state of our emotion, but who do you believe? 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. Heavenly Father, we praise your Holy Name. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !
