Never Hold Back…

October 15, 2009 by admin Leave a Comment

In the very beginning of the Holy Bible we were taught in the life of Cain and Abel in how to give the best of not only what we have but of ourselves to the Lord.

This same lesson was also taught in Abraham in the willingness to give the life of his son. Later as you know our Father in Heaven gave us His Son which has been the best gift in life.

Even after the resurection of Jesus Christ we were taught this lesson in the book of Acts 5 between a man and his wife in not only holding back their proceeds but they held back the truth which could have set them free.

It is very easy in life to only give what we want while keeping the best for ourselves, but based on the Word of God we are to give our best in everything we do in allowing the Lord to work through each of us in giving Him all the praise.

How can we move forward if we hold back? As true Christians on the team of Jesus we must perform to the best of our God given talents and give the best to the Lord in never holding anything back for ourselves. The Lord is our provider and when we give our best then the Lord will take care of the rest…amen

Going Beyond…

October 14, 2009 by admin Leave a Comment

How many people do you witness daily that only perform 1/2 hearted with no drive to go the extra mile? Everywhere we turn from our homes, to our work, and even in our churches we can witness those who just exist without ever learning the true art in serving one another.

It is amazing when we learn to go beyond the expectations in our task at the gratification that we will receive in serving God instead of man. This true gratification is not of monetary means or in words of thanks but it comes in the heart in knowing that we have truly done our part.

Because true rewards are not what we receive in this temporary life they are in the eternal life given through the blood of Jesus Christ!

I challenge you today and every other day to go beyond what someone may expect of you to start a chain reaction in the love which we all share by adding one link at a time…amen

Stay In Tune With God

October 13, 2009 by admin 2 Comments

In the book of Psalm 46:10 the Lord says, “Be still and know that I am God.”

When is the last time you really stopped to look and evaluate yourself in the mirror of God?

We all pause at times to act like we care but do we ever just really stop and listen to whom we know is there?

When we don’t stop and truly listen then our lives can get out of balance even when we may think we are in tune.

Seek the Lord in everything you do and allow the light of Jesus to reflect through you…amen

The World In The Church

October 10, 2009 by admin Leave a Comment

It is sad but true how many churches have allowed the darkness of the world to enter into their doors by forgetting that the church is to be the light in the world. This has happened over time due to tolerance, complacency, selfish desires and some in pure survival of trying to keep the people in the church. The church is not a place to be shaped by the world but a place to stand firm in the Word of God!

Since when did the Word of God change? Since when did the Lord say to please man instead of God? And we wonder what has happened to the overall church body and why America claims to be a non-christian nation…How blind and deaf do we have to be?

They say we can’t speak the Truth in the Word of God because it might offend someone or we can’t say something when we are led by the Lord because this will be out of order. But then we sit back and complain of the empty pughs in the church while America continues its downward spiral in sin.

When our lives are right through Jesus Christ and we speak the Truth in the Word of God that might upset someone else then so be it!!! The Truth hurts when we know we are guilty, but that is between the sinner in the conviction of the Holy Spirit and God in how they handle it. I refuse to bow down to Satan in telling me that I can’t speak of my salvation in Jesus Christ!!! For my God is God Almighty and the Creator of Heaven and earth! My Lord is Jesus Christ which has given me mercy in the Lord’s loving grace which has saved me from this fallen place. I praise God everday given because I am so undeserving for the grace which I have received and I was once so lost in the world but now I am found…

Uncover your lamp and let it shine in the darkness of this world and never allow Satan to cover it up!!! It is amazing at how we can see when we properly believe…amen

How To Move In Life

October 9, 2009 by admin Leave a Comment

In the book of Exodus 40 we were taught a beautiful lesson from God in when to move and when to sit still. This lesson is taught in the Glory of God within the cloud that filled the tabernacle with Moses and the people of Israel. This same lesson is taught over and over through the generations because we fail to stop and listen.

How often in our steps of life do we move without following looking to God for our direction before we step? He guides us when we stop and listen but often we get so wrapped up in life that we listen to everything else instead of the One who brings it all together. Every action we make is accountable and serves only one of two ways. If we serve self then we serve Satan and if we serve others then we serve God.

It is so easy to fall to self and forget how our actions affect others and this is exactly what Satan wants in our lives in losing touch with the people. I challenge you today and every other day to seek God first before you move and examine your steps to insure the path you are on…Amen
