Communicate In Love…

by Leave a Comment

 Why is it so hard for us to take time out of our day to compliment or encourage one another? It is very easy to take what we have forgranted until it is gone, and then we look back with regrets for the times that we took forgranted.

  Satan wants us to lose touch in this life because he knows how it will rob us in the next. Learning to communicate in love for one another helps us to strengthen our relationships and it allows us to hear how God is working in our lives so we can help encourage each other along the way. It is easy to become discouraged when others won’t listen but this is never a time to give up! This is when we learn to trust God and continue going the extra mile in everything we do because this teaches our children how to live in this world. I challenge you today to not hold back what needs to be said and learn how to communicate in love in everything you do to allow the love of Jesus to shine through…amen

Often in life our problems arise not from what has been said but from what has not been spoken…

Your Greatest Gift…

by Leave a Comment

 The greatest gift one person can give another is an introduction to God through the love of Jesus Christ and the time to show that we care. But that gift is often hindered if the believer’s attitude says, “I have the greatest gift to pass on to you”, while acting like you have nothing to give them in return. There is nothing worse than being around someone who thinks they have it all but won’t stop to receive what God may have to share with them in return.

It is easy to stop and listen when Satan entices us with something on the outside but what truly matters is what we receive from God on the inside. We all can learn from each other when we stop focusing on ourselves and begin to look for God in everything we do. I challenge you today to treat everyone you pass by as if this day was your last.

 Real Christians give and receive from each other no matter their position in life and this shows the true love of Jesus Christ… amen

An Excuse Only Leads To Another Excuse…

by 2 Comments

 Prayer must have a vital place in our lives, but there is also a place for action. Sometimes we know what what to do, but we pray for more guidance as an excuse to postpone what needs to be done. It is very easy to put off something when we don’t want to face the truth and this is how Satan holds us back because he knows how weak we are when we allow things to pile up on us.

 The object in this life is to seek God for our daily direction and make positive steps forward while trusting in Him to reach our goals. I challenge you today to not put off what you know in your heart that needs to be done and learn to trust in God to bring things together. It is our place to do the work and the longer we put something off then the harder we will have to work to overcome our issues at hand.

 We all have detours in life when we allow Satan to throw us off track but the objective in every detour is to learn where we got lost so we can find the Way back…amen

Beautiful Inside…

by Leave a Comment

 In the book of 1 Samuel 16 the Lord told Samuel,”Do not look at his appearance or at his physical stature because I have  refused him. For the Lord does not see man as he sees; for man looks at  the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”

 Repeatedly throughout the Word of God we are shown how God uses the humble and other living things that we would never expect to help keep us in tune. It is in our human nature to judge others and this is what God teaches (against) for we never know what or who He may use next. What we have on the outside is always changing but who we are on the inside is what truly matters to God. I challenge you today and every other day to not look upon someone else on the outside but learn to love them for who they are on the inside.

 Love grows when we learn to exercise it in the Word of God and then it spreads to future generations when we learn how to share it with others…amen

Teach Your Children Who To Lean On…

by Leave a Comment

 It is important to tell our children about God’s work in our past and to help them see what He has brought us through. What are the turning points in your life where God intervened? What is God doing for you now? Don’t be ashamed of where you have been but be strengthened for what God has brought you through. “It is the wisdom gained in our failures that give us success in the future.”

 Your life stories will form the foundations of your children’s belief in God and teach them where to turn when trials come their way. The last thing any loving parent should ever want is for there child to feel all alone and not know where to turn. This is why God our Father in Heaven sent His only begotten Son because He he loved each of us so much that He wanted to show us the Way back home. The Word of God warns us of our human weaknesses and teaches us how to pick ourselves up when we have been knocked down. The way we walk in this life is an example of who we serve and our children need to know where to turn when we are gone…amen

Spiritual Revelations

Don’t be like Eli in 1st Samuel and miss something that has been given by God. If you recall with Eli he did not listen because the Word of God was rare in those days and he did not recognize what was taking place until he saw the persistence of Samuel…
