We Often Harvest What We Plant

by Leave a Comment

 Being loved is the most powerful motivation in the world! Our ability to love is often shaped by our experience of love and it is important to recognize that our children are a reflection of our works. It is vital that we lead by example in our homes to teach our children the fruit of the spirit which produces love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness,faithfulness, gentleness and self control.

 Our actions plant seeds in our children and if we are not teaching them how to act in love then how can we honestly expect them to maintain their future love? One of the most important lessons that we can teach our children is how to communicate in love without acting out in our emotions and causing us to mislead our children. I challenge you to be alert in your actions to insure the right seeds that are being planted for your children’s future…amen

Learn from The Past To Walk Forward In The Future

by Leave a Comment

 When we fail to be obedient to God’s Word then we should not surprised when discipline comes our way. The discipline that we receive will only elevate the longer we allow our self to stand in the way when we don’t know how to trust in God and obey. The object is during our trials, is to be looking in all directions of our lives to see what we could be missing or in what needs to be cleansed in sin in order to move forward once again.

 Sometimes we can be held back from simply not speaking the Truth because the Truth is the only thing that can set us free. It is in our human nature to not do what needs to be done and the longer we put something off then the harder it is to overcome. I challenge you today if there is something that you know that needs to be done to address it in a loving spirit to receive the healing that can take place…amen

 If we don’t know how to take a step back then how can we honestly learn to take a step forward?

True Love Is Not Of Force

by Leave a Comment

  It is in our human nature to push others to see what we see, but when we find ourselves forcing our ways upon someone else then we need to take a step back to insure that we are not being spiritually misguided by Satan. God wants us to share with others what He has taught us and to lead by example in the love of Christ for others to find their own way by learning to just be who they are without trying to be someone else.

  For each person is responsible for their own relationship with God through Christ and how they develop is between them and the Lord. When we learn to love someone for who and where they are without trying to shape them into who we want them to be then we are showing others the proper Way to believe…amen

Love is not directed but comes in our freewill as we choose in the freedom which we have been given…

Experiences Lead To Our Purpose In Life

by Leave a Comment

  To discover our true purpose in life we first have to recognize what talents that God has given us and then we can begin to develop through prayer and daily practice as we mature to fully utilize what God has given us to use for His glory and not our own. When we learn to apply our experiences in life with our God given talents then this can lead us to discover our purpose in a successful life. The world teaches us to seek success for ourselves but God teaches us that true success is seeking it for others. 

 It is in our human nature to judge someone based on their appearance, their history, and their education but what we must recall is 1 Samuel 16:7,”For the Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”  True success comes when we recognize our talents under God and then we help others discover theirs by helping them to one day do the same with others. For there is nothing in this world that can compare to the gift of God that fills our hearts and soul when we help another child discover their purpose in life through the love of Jesus Christ.   

 As a parent, as a teacher, as a coach, as an employer, and as a leader it is our responsibility under God to recognize the God given talents in others to help develop them for our children’s future. It is in our nature to try and develop someone to fit our mold but we must recall that it is God’s place to develop each individual while we obey His Word in serving the Lord’s desires instead of our own. When we try to guide someone into a decision or deny them an oppurtunity to discover their talents in life then we could be placing that person in a form spiritual bondage that will not only rob them of their joy but it can also affect the future generations in life until someone learns how to break that chain through the love of Jesus Christ.

  True Success is not measured in material means but measured in how we teach others to utilize and maintain what God has provided. I challenge you to teach others how to discover their talents in life through the love of Jesus Christ by helping them to follow their hearts desires to insure their steps in the future…amen

The Truth Sets Us Free & Carries Us Forward

by Leave a Comment

 Throughout the world many people are looking for the answers to success and help in overcoming their setbacks in life. Many books have been written and many positions have been created to misguide us into looking to man for the answers rather than seeking God for our direction. Every single thing we need to understand about our characteristics, our weaknesses, and our success is taught in the Holy Bible but many people choose to not go through the extra effort that it takes to discover this Truth in life.

 It is in our nature to want the quick fix and to want someone else to do the work for us but until we learn how to take responsibility for our self and our own actions under God then we will only continue to be lost in this world. As Jesus replied in Luke 11,”But even more blessed are all who hear the Word of God and put it into practice.”

 With this being said, I challenge you to not sit on the Truth but learn how to do something with it in a loving spirit that will in turn help motivate others to do the same. Real change does not come from our leaders in office it begins in our homes and then spreads into our communities for our children’s future while we expect our leaders to simply do what is right under God for the people…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…
