A Title Does Not Make Who We Are

May 14, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 It is very easy in our sinful nature to allow Satan to spiritually mislead us when we reach certain levels in life. Just because the Lord may have blessed us with a certain position or with certain material things does not mean that we are any better nor different than someone else. It is easy to see in history those that forgot how to climb the latter of success with God because they began to place their trust in their own accomplishments instead of recalling the Rock of our foundation from which we stand.

 The Lord teaches us that we can not serve two masters and if we begin to place emphasis on our accomplishments rather than on the glory of God then we need to take a step back before we stumble to prevent the fall. The positions or titles that we receive in life are nothing more than something to show our commitment to the field that we are in. Our titles do not determine who we are because anyone can gain a title of man but what we show in our actions determines the type of person that we are and that we understand the position which we temporailly hold.

 In this world anyone can buy a title or purchase a position but when we learn to allow God to move us where He can best use us is when we truly learn the art of how to climb on the mountain with God. A true title or position is one that is given by God and not seeked by man...amen

For God resist the proud but gives grace to the humble…1Peter 5:5

Communicate In Love…

February 19, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 Why is it so hard for us to take time out of our day to compliment or encourage one another? It is very easy to take what we have forgranted until it is gone, and then we look back with regrets for the times that we took forgranted.

  Satan wants us to lose touch in this life because he knows how it will rob us in the next. Learning to communicate in love for one another helps us to strengthen our relationships and it allows us to hear how God is working in our lives so we can help encourage each other along the way. It is easy to become discouraged when others won’t listen but this is never a time to give up! This is when we learn to trust God and continue going the extra mile in everything we do because this teaches our children how to live in this world. I challenge you today to not hold back what needs to be said and learn how to communicate in love in everything you do to allow the love of Jesus to shine through…amen

Often in life our problems arise not from what has been said but from what has not been spoken…

The Persistence Of God That Changes The World!!!

February 13, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 Throughout the Holy Bible we learn how to recognize the drive of God in the persistence of men and women who made a difference for the good of the people even when they faced all odds. It did not matter what they faced or whether they stood all alone because they knew the drive and direction that was given by God that strengthened their faith to serve the people.

 Noah did not quit his task when the people mocked him for building a boat when they had never experienced rain. Abraham did not disobey God when the Lord gave him instructions nor did he give up on pleading with God to spare the righteous in the land of Sodom and Gomorrah before it was destroyed. Joseph did not give up just because others gave up on him or because of his circumstances in life. Moses never asked for his job nor did he even think that he was qualified. Ruth remained strong in character and true to God even when the society around her was collapsing. Samuel did not go back to sleep when Eli told him to just lay back down! David was the least of all his brothers but had the heart of a lion when someone spoke against our living God. Esther risked her life for the life of others when she went against the traditions that were followed by the people. Job did not give in to Satan when he suffered so greatly even when those around him made false accusations. Daniel never gave in to man for what he knew was right in his heart by God! Nehemiah did not give in just because the task was so large and the people that he had to face! 

 John The Baptist did not detour from God’s calling because the way people looked at him for how he appeared on the outside because he knew who was directing him on the inside! Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour did not detour from God’s message when He taught us how to love and forgive those which do not understand God’s eternal plan in this fallen land. The four men that believed in the Lord did not let their friend fade away just because they had to carry him and lower him through the roof to be healed! Nor did Paul allow his previous life to detour him from the message that he was to deliver when he saw the light in Jesus Christ!   

 Martin Luther did not give in to the Pope nor to the Roman Catholics when he took a stand in 1517 strongly disputing the church and following God. Our American ancestors did not allow Britain to rob them of their freedom in religion nor did they allow their fears to stop them from moving across the seas in the 1700’s. Benjamin Franklin did not allow his age to stop him at 70 years old when he wanted to help his country win the American Revolution. James Armistead, a brave African American, did not subdue because of his color! Thomas Jefferson did not stand for someone to think that they were above another when he helped write the Declaration of Independence!  Benjamin Banneker, an African American, did not allow his fears to stop him from writing our leaders about ending slavery here in America. Martin Luther King, Jr. did not give in when he saw something that was not right! Nor did Billy Graham waver from his commitment in serving God.  

  Throughout history many men and women have persevered and overcome tough situations because they put their trust in God rather than allowing the world to hold them back. No matter who we are or where we have been it is vital to recognize how God is the one who picks us up and lays us down to serve His purpose and not our own! The Lord gives us our inner confidence and drive that will not sway in this world until our job is done and it our place to do the best we can in everyday that we have been given. By living our lives as an example under Christ it teaches our children to never lose hope no matter what they have to face. Because with God “All Things Are Possible” even when the world seems to be falling apart!

 It is in the persistance of men and women that never give up when we can see God at work that will make a positive difference for our children’s future! I challenge you today and every other day to strengthen yourself in the Lord and allow the love of Jesus to shine in your life like never before! It is when we know that Greater Is He that Is In Us Than He That Is In This World that we will find strength to overcome  our obstacles in life! Never lose Hope no matter what you face or for what you have been through because it is when we let go of ourselves that God will take over and carry us to new levels in the Lord’ s mercy and grace!!!

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

New Years Commitments…

January 1, 2010 by admin 1 Comment

 If you were to look back at your goals for this past year what would you see? How would you rank yourself in your level of commitment to whatever you set out to achieve? It doesn’t matter our age or our circumstances in life when we are committed under God to make a positive difference and overcome where we have been. For if it is in the Lord’s will it will be done, but in His timing and not in ours. Every year that we are given we should be looking to improve and maintain something in our life to insure our children’s future.

 For what good are our commitments if we are not willing to do what it takes to see them through?  It is imperative in life to never be robbed of what we know in our hearts and allow Satan to rob us of our dreams that God gives. Sometimes our goals take longer than expected and it is easy to get sidetracked by Satan when we don’t understand how to fully trust in God. Always know that it is not our place as a true Christian to ever give up or lose hope no matter what we have to go through in life. Sometimes we have to take a step back to one day take a step forward. 

 I challenge you this year to make a true commitment and set short term and long term goals that will not only improve something in your life but improve something in someone else’s. A commitment is only as good as our word, and if we are not willing to keep our word then how honorable is our commitment? It is time that we all become more committed for our children’s future here in America and put aside our differences to focus on the objectives to strengthen our future…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…
