A Divine Appointment…

by Leave a Comment

 Did you know that everyday that we are given there is a test that is placed right before us? This test is given to see how well we will follow and how well we will serve. Test come in many different ways from the way we take care of ourselves, to the way we treat others, to the way we act in negative circumstances, to the way we conduct business, to the way we handle our temptations, to the way we handle our responsibilities, to the way we handle our pressures, to the way we handle our confrontations, and just simply to see how well we will serve.

 This life is no joke! We are accountable to God for every action that we take! Every word that comes out of our mouth and every action that we make is being recorded by the Supreme Judge in Heaven above. In order to improve our walk and to grow stronger in faith we should look at every person we meet as a Divine appointment to hear what needs to be heard or to help those that are in need. We all face different types of tests and I challenge you today and every other day to look at everything as something that God has put before you to help insure your steps in the future…amen

How To Build Character…

by Leave a Comment

 In life it is easy to run from our responsibilities and we all want to hide our downfalls. When we accept our responsibilities it helps us to build our character and build an inner strength to overcome our temporary set backs. Once we learn who we are under God and accept our decisions God will give us the motivation to complete our work and an inner confidence because we no longer rely on ourselves but learn to rely and trust in the Lord.

 Satan wants us to hide our issues and run from our problems because he knows how they can destroy us. He also wants us to become angry when confronted and make excuses rather than taking responsibility for the decisions and actions which we have made. Where Jesus on the other hand instructs us to confront our issues in love and walk in faith to reach the other side in God’s glory. I challenge you today to act in love and to commit yourself in everything that you do for others to see the love of Jesus that will shine through…amen

Stay Focused & Never Give Up!!!

by Leave a Comment

 In life it is very easy to speak when we know the answer and it is in our human nature to raise ourselves up to something that we might not be ready for. This is how Satan works because he wants us to jump before the time in our youth rather than waiting and trusting in God for His timing instead of our own. Have you ever made a decision and then realized you were not ready? Or, have you ever made a decision that failed but then as you walked on in life the Lord brought it back to you again?

  Just because we might not succeed the first time, the second or the third does not mean that we are to ever give up!!!  It just means that we need to just learn how to trust God in His timing instead of our own and learn from our falls to one day climb again but much wiser and stronger than before.

  I challenge you today and every other day to learn from your falls to see what you could have possibly been missing to insure your steps in the future. We all stumble at times when we get caught up in the climb and lose sight of the foundation from which we stand…amen

In God’s Timing…

by Leave a Comment

 In  the book of Genesis 41 Pharaoh recognized that Joseph was a man that was filled with the spirit of God when he shared the wisdom that God had given him with Pharaoh. Joseph was a man that endured every trial and served God in every situation. He did not  hold grudges nor seek revenge with those who did him wrong. Joseph allowed God to bring things together in the Lord’s timing without trying to step out and take matters into his own hands.

 Unlike Joseph we might not get to speak with the king but everyday that we are given those who know us should be able to see God in us through our kind words, our merciful acts, and our wise advice. Whatever our situation, no matter how undesirable it  may be we need to consider it part of our training program to serve God rather than allowing Satan to separate us from what we know in our hearts to be true.

 When we begin to look for God in man rather than looking at what we see then the Lord will begin to shape us into who we were set out to be. I challenge you today to  trust in God through every circumstance  and allow your relatives, neighbors, and even co workers to see the spirit of God in you by the way you serve and the way you act…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…
