Maturing With Christ…

May 30, 2011 by admin Leave a Comment

 We all start out as a seed that matures in the womb. Over time the seed produces a new life that will take root of its own. Not all trees mature in the same timing for each tree has its own season. Now the fruit of the tree teaches us a wise lesson, for the juice of the ripe apple is the same that was in the green fruit but with sun- light and sun- heat.

 As we begin to mature with Christ we can find that our lives are like that of a tree that is to produce fruit. For our life is to grow in the light of wisdom and softened by the heat of love. The most important factor to understand in our maturity is that we each mature in our own time and it is our responsibility to love one another. Learning to mature with Christ day by day is an awesome experience for we can taste the juice of the fruit getting better and better each day…Amen

Faith In The Wilderness…

April 27, 2011 by admin 1 Comment

 Having faith to reach a goal is all about believing in the direction that God has given. As Joshua might not have been mature enough to take on the leadership roll he believed in our Heavenly Father making the Way. An interesting part about this was that Moses was in leadership and I believe we all would agree that he had faith but when Moses saw that the people were not ready he did not try to talk the people into going forward.

 Moses simply recognized the situation and trusted God for the direction of his steps. On the other hand Joshua was spiritually ready but it was during the 40 year travel in the wilderness where Joshua matured into the man that God wanted him to be. Like Joshua, sometimes when we think we are ready we might not be because God has something else instore that we might not see.

 The object is to never lose hope in the wilderness while allowing God to mold us into who He wants us to be…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…
