Allow God To Confirm Your Steps

by Leave a Comment

 Throughout life we are faced with many decisions that are guided by our knowledge of the task. These type of decisions are not very difficult to make because we are basing them off of what we have learned but the decisions which we make in faith go against everything we humanly know simply just because we believe.

 God teaches us to know His Word and He wants us to learn how to apply it in our daily lives to help us with our decisions in life. But in this process of making a decision it is very wise to stop and seek God for confirmation before we step into something that we might not be prepared for when we may hit the waves in the sea.

 I challenge you today and every other day to be patient and learn to allow God to confirm your steps rather than taking them on your own. For what God brings together no man can tear apart and it is wise to be prepared for the journey in order to accomplish the mission…amen

Believe In God’s Promise…

by Leave a Comment

 It is very easy to just go through the day in our normal routines of life and overlook how God is working all around us. Often we cry out to God our Father in Heaven asking Him for our direction or for help to get through our issues in life but we miss the boat because of the waves that we see. Then we become stuck in our storms or circumstances in life because we forget how God is in control and we can’t see how He is directing our path to be a positive example for our childrens future.

 We by nature tend to except our circumstances rather than trusting God to deliver us from our hardships in life and this often robs us of the Promise which God has given in His Word. As a child of God we all know when something is simply just not right and until we learn to speak the Truth how can we honestly expect something to get better?   

 Until we truly commit ourselves to make a positive difference we will only continue to sit on the banks of the river and just dream of what it must be like on the other side. I challenge you today to seek God for your strength and trust in Him for the courage you need to succeed..amen

How To Avoid Division & Divorce…

by Leave a Comment

 It is very easy to speak out against what we see, but in true love that is directed by God we are to stand in faith while sharing the love of Jesus Christ. God shows us what is not right by Him in others to help shape us into who He wants us to be.

 As we mature and learn to trust in God it is our duty as a true Christian to stand fast in love with patience for God to correct what needs to be corrected. It is when we take matters into our own hands that we can cause a division in our relationships to the point that they cause anger and even divorce. Rather than focusing on what is negative in the picture we should be looking for the positives to help us learn to overcome the negatives.

  Many divisions in the church and in our homes have developed from a lack of understanding the true meaning of a commitment  under God that teaches us to work together through our trials to build something stronger for our children’s future. What are we teaching our children when we don’t work together and when all we do is point out what is wrong in others?

 In order for our children to understand a commitment under God we must be an example in our commitments to properly teach them how to work through the hard times to reach the good times. By separating ourselves and blaming one another for our shortcomings it only teaches our children to place blame on someone else rather than taking responsibility for their own actions.

 Real change comes when we commit ourselves in prayer for God to bring things together rather than trying to fix it ourselves. So many times we get in the way because we interfere with how God is working to correct what we see. It should be our goal to work on ourselves and allow the light that we carry to help someone else to see the proper way to believe.  Rather than taking matters into your own hands and possibly causing a division or even a divorce learn to trust in God while communicating in the love of Jesus Christ. It doesn’t matter where we go or who we meet there is always something that can be done but it is our place to focus on the positives rather speaking out on the negatives…amen

God Moves Mountains…

by Leave a Comment

 It is very easy to allow the pressures of this world to rob us of the joys that we have in life. Rather than allowing our circumstances to weight us down we should be looking for how God can use us to bring something positive out of everything that is negative. When we discover the areas where God has gifted us it is then our place to use our talents for His glory instead of our own and this is how we discover our purpose in life through the love of Jesus Christ.

 I challenge you today to not allow what you see to rob you of the promise which God has given. Often what we see may seem like mountains but every mountain is moved in faith when we learn to trust in God instead of relying on ourselves…amen

Keeping Our Commitments…

by Leave a Comment

 In today’s society it is easy to fall like many and take forgranted the commitments which we make with all the loop holes that have been created for us to take the easy way out. When we make a commitment in life there is no turning back or giving in! For if we make a commitment without accepting the bad with the good then we are only setting ourselves up for failure in the future.

 Our commitments are only as good as our word and without God in the center they will eventually be broken. When we make a commitment in life it is imperative to look beyond our immediate desires to insure that we are willing to go the extra mile and do whatever it takes to succeed. By holding ourselves accountable to God in our commitments helps give us the strength and wisdom to fulfill what we have set out to do.

 For instance it is easy for me to tell someone that I can’t do this but when I take them out of the picture and look to God for the direction which I need to overcome then I am trusting in Him rather than trusting in my own limited capabilities. I challenge you to not take your commitments lightly and learn to place our Lord and Savior in the center of everything you do for He is the only one that can hold it together and see us through…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…
