Make A Positive Step Forward…

February 9, 2010 by admin 2 Comments

 If God was to appear to you today and ask you these two questions how would you honestly reply, “Are you happy with your life and being productive with what you have been given? Or, are you always searching for something else rather than appreciating what you have?” 

 It is imperative to recognize why something may not be working  in order for us to go the extra mile to improve our situation. The Lord Jesus plainly tells us that we can not serve two masters and this can apply to many different aspects of life.  If all we do is look at what we don’t have then how can we honestly appreciate what we do have?

 If there is something in your life that you would like to see improve then seek God in prayer to show you what needs to be done and be willing to commit yourself to see it through. So many times people give up when they look at the total issue because they don’t know how to trust God and take it one day at a time. I challenge you today to set goals in every aspect of your life and learn how to make a positive step forward one day at a time…amen

How To Build Character…

February 3, 2010 by admin 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

In God’s Timing…

February 1, 2010 by admin 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

Clear Your Mind To Listen…

January 27, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 In order to truly hear what needs to be heard it is imperative that we learn how to clear our minds and allow our hearts to absorb God’s direction. The Lord guides us through the Holy Spirit with confirmations that are placed on our heart but so many times we fall to what we think because of what we see. Satan is very clever and he deceives us on the outside because we often fail to listen and follow what we know on the inside.

 Have you ever made a decision that came back to bite you because you did not follow what God had placed on your heart? Have you ever made a decision because you allowed Satan to build something in your mind that was later revealed to be (not) true? How do you think the people felt after the crucifixion of Jesus Christ? We all have made wrong decisions in life when we leaned on our own understanding and allowed our emotions to guide our actions. Learning to walk in this life requires each of us to stand on our own and learning  how to follow God rather than man. This is why it is so important to know the Word of God and to learn how to listen…amen

Honor Your Choices In Life…

January 5, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 God gives each of us choices everyday to make and we all have made wrong decisions in life. Some of our wrong decisions may have even caused us pain but they can help us learn to make better decisions in the future. Living with the consequences of our choices does not mean that we walk around unhappy or complaining but they teach us to think and choose more carefully as we go further in life. Not only will they help us to grow but when we accept our responsibilities for our actions then we are to lead by example in teaching others to be wise in their steps to insure something of God and not of Satan.

 Not all opportunities are of God! Many are of Satan to distract us from our commitments and to detour us from the path we are on. God wants us to honor our commitments and stay focused in life where Satan wants us to look at everything else instead of what we already have. It is Satan’s objective to make something look good at first but what we must recall is what Jesus taught us in the wilderness when tempted by Satan. Our Lord and Saviour taught us to look beyond our immediate desires to insure the future outcome, and if the future outcome can separate us from what we have then it is best to stay where we are .

 For what may look good now might not be good for later, and when we base our decisions thinking of only ourselves then we need to reevaluate the situation. This life is of learning to honor our commitments and putting our desires behind others to help teach our children a better way of life through the love of Jesus Christ.

  I challenge you today and every other day to grab hold in your commitments and do what it takes in love to see them through. Don’t allow Satan to distract you from what you have been given and chase the wind of this worldly sin. For there is honor when we accept our decisions and learn to walk on in life through the love of Jesus Christ…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…
