Glory

Shine Trust in the Lord, ALWAYS There are times you just have to let you light shine and give God the glory, despite your circumstances. Sometimes, the enemy will try to make you feel guilty because you find yourself at a stand still waiting for God’s directions. But the devil is and always will be a liar. He has one thing on his mind. That is to kill steal and destroy. But when you are a child of God, you IGNORE the negative voices and in tune your ears to hear the voice of the Lord.  Yesterday, I was very overwhelmed because I had some assignments to do. At one point, I was speaking with my friend and she said to me, calm down you just upset. Take it easy and do one thing at a time. I got home and began to pray despite my feelings. When I couldn’t pray anymore, I listen to music and sometime, in the stillness of my quit apartment, I would worship. Before I knew it, God had helped me to accomplish most of my assignments. But earlier I felt to quit.  Nevertheless I keep

Work In Progress

 Rebuild I will put my trust in you, Lord “The blessing of the Lord makes one rich, And He adds no sorrow with it” (Proverbs 10:22).Amen. Have you ever notice when a construction site is in progress, how busy it can be. Whether you are a driving or taking the bus, do you notice how ever thing has to slow down and be cautious while passing by. During this time period, you can become very frustrated and upset. Especially, if you have to be at work or make an appointment. The derails and finding of another route can cause more headache than ever. But then after the work is finished the place looks beautiful. You find that you didn’t mind all the times traffic was slow. You could admire the place and make a comparison to what it used to look like and the now. You can sometime find that the changes are more beautiful than before. And that’s how it is with you and I. When God begins to work in our life, he takes away the old and makes us a brand new person. Nevertheless,

Name

 The importance Seek Jesus, for guidance. Every person has name and some people get upset when you don’t call their names correctly.  A few days ago, I was taking care of one of my sons. I keep calling him by my younger son name and he would not respond. I was getting frustrated because I am telling him to do something and he was just staring at me as though who am I speaking too (lol). So then I tap him and asked if he didn’t hear me speaking to him. The child look at me and said, yes, but you keep calling my Caden and that not my name. My name is Christian. So after a few minutes, I begin to speak to the Lord and he said the child is right. You can’t call him by another name even if he is in front of you and expect him to answer.  He will answer to his name. Then I thought about it and it is so true. Jesus said it like me, if you don’t call on the right God you wouldn’t get the right answer. When we read the bible we know that Jesus, Christ is the one and true living G

Hear Me

Image
 Attention Help me Jesus “Hear my cry, O God; Attend to my prayer. 2 From the end of the earth I will cry to You, When my heart is overwhelmed; Lead me to the rock that is higher than I” (Psalm 61:1-2) Amen. God is awesome and loving. But he loves when we keep things real with him and ourselves. Have you ever did something for someone, trusting them and then they let you down? How does it make you feel? You can sometimes get to the point where you want to tell them off. Yes or No! Yet, you might just end some or all communication with them because you hope they won’t cross your path. Now, let’s think about how God feels when we stop trusting in him and disobey his rules. I am sure that he sometimes want to tell us off, but rather he humbly sit and await us coming before his throne, asking for forgiveness, which he ALWAYS gives. There are times we sometimes ask God, for something and he delays it. Yet we can become very frustrated and inpatient. We may get upset with

Love

 Rescue God loves us with our faults God is amazing and when he loves you, he truly loves you.  Many of us have heard of the bible verse which says “Whoever spares the rod hates their children, but the one who loves their children is careful to discipline them (Proverbs 13:24). Amen. Now when we literally think of it, it does not mean physically disciplining your children. But rather correcting them when they are wrong and explained to them what they did wrong etc. God loves each of us. Nevertheless, they are times we stray away. But he comes out looking for us and brings us back to him. So, how do we know God loves us?  He looks beyond our faults and mistakes and see our needs.  Well, let me say for past couple of days, I was unable to post, let say my mind was on vacation mode for lack of better word. So here I was thinking that I am committed to God’s work and yet find myself “chill-laxing”, acting as though I can take a break and all is well. The devil is a liar, in Jesu

Choices

Image
 Right or Wrong Trust in the Lord In life we have to choose between life and death. We are the only one who can choose the choice of life or death. The bible tells us that Christ has paid the price for our freedom and we must chose life. I want to choose life, because I am promised by God, that he came so that we may have life and life more abundantly. We all desire the abundance of life. We know that there is more to this life than the way it is looking. And yes there is. The answer is Jesus. It is only Jesus who will be able to navigate you through your ups and downs, to enjoy life in this word. No one else!  There are times you may feel as though you are not going to make it. And YES, you will through the strength of Christ Jesus who lives inside of you and me. Because many of us choose to life for Christ Jesus, they enemy will do everything to stop us from serving the one and true living God. But he will not prevail, in Jesus name. Amen.  There are times we have to

He Loves

Image
 Always Yes, Jesus loves you and I ALWAYS Jesus loves us, despite our faults. Yesterday, I spoke about Jesus bring corrections to those he loves. Despite him correcting you, realize it is for your own good. Nevertheless, Jesus Always loves you. Think of it this way, if we were “perfect man” there would be no need for the Lord in our lives. Why? Because we can fix all our problems and take care of ourselves and do what we want to do. But for those of us, who trust in the Lord, know we are nothing without him and that’s why we need him in our daily walk. The bible tells us that children are blessings. And since we are God’s children, we are a blessing. Whether we always do the right thing or not Jesus still loves us. His words said, he looked beyond our FAULTS are saw our needs. How much more do we need to know Jesus loves us? In life we all will face trials and tribulations. There will be times we do the right thing and other times we may not. However,   if, we make a wrong

Correction

Love Let God be your GUIDE “The Lord will make you the head, not the tail. If you pay attention to the commands of the Lord your God that I give you this day and carefully follow them, you will always be at the top, never at the bottom” (Deuteronomy 28:13). Amen God is amazing and he only brings correction to those he loves. Yesterday, my friend and I were talking about God goodness and mercies. We talked a great deal about how he brings correction to each of us. And it’s up to us to accept his correction and make changes. None of us is perfect and if we try to be we can lose the sense of who God is. We may strive for perfectness, but at times we will fall short. Nevertheless, when you serve God from a sincere heart, his wholeness makes you perfect. I am a person who likes to know everything in details. It can be good and bad at same time. My challenge is to allow God to guide me. There are times the Lord, show us the end product of our blessings and immediately our min

Give Thank

Image
 Greatness Lord, I love You Oh’ give thanks to the Lord for he is good. Sometimes you just have to worship the Lord. You have to let him know how much you love him. How much you adore him. How much you are lost without him. If you woke up this morning, give thanks. If you have a job give thanks. If your family is doing well give thanks. Oh’ my friends, let today be a thanksgiving unto to Jesus. Lord I love, trust and obey you. I give you thanks for all you have done and will continue to do for my family, friends and self. Lord let your will be done. Praise the Lord, my soul;     all my inmost being, praise his holy name. 2 Praise the Lord, my soul,     and forget not all his benefits— 3 who forgives all your sins     and heals all your diseases, 4 who redeems your life from the pit     and crowns you with love and compassion, 5 who satisfies your desires with good things     so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s. 6 The Lord works righteousness

Pass Me Not

 Speak Jesus, pass me not today, please sit. “Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus”. (Philippians 4:4-7). Amen Sometimes you have to make your request, known unto the Lord. Yes you are in the fire, but you still have to speak to him. Early this morning, I woke up with this song in my spirit, “Pass me not oh gentle Savior hear my humble cry” . This will be my song for the day, asking the Lord, not to pass me by, while others are calling. And there are times we have to cry out to Jesus, when we are in distress. We, who hope in the Lord, must never settle for less. We are the head and not the tail, in Jesus name. Amen There are times we sit and assess

Shout

Call to Jesus, for he cares for you Not Alone Sometimes during the storms, you just cannot open your mouth to say nothing. Just remember that you are not alone. God is always there with you. Whatever is going on in your life, keep your eyes on Jesus. For he is the Rock! Don’t lose hope, but be encouraged and worship him. In times of trouble he will always rise up a standard and your enemy will not prevail.  Words for today is simple take your eyes off your problems and focus on Jesus. Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth. 2     Worship the Lord with gladness;     come before him with joyful songs. 3 Know that the Lord is God.     It is he who made us, and we are his[a];     we are his people, the sheep of his pasture. 4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving     and his courts with praise;     give thanks to him and praise his name. 5 For the Lord is good and his love endures forever;     his faithfulness continues through all generations(Psalms 100). Amen

Unusual

Drawing Enter into Jesus presence and receive healing Sometimes, in life you have to do something unusual, to draw the attention of Jesus. You must use your faith in such a passion that he must recognize, Power has left his body.  Many of us know the great miracle and powers Jesus possess. Some of us believe everything and receive our healing instantly, but some are not exercising their faith to receive. God is not a partial God. What he  has done for one he will do for you. But to receive you have to believe. Many of us read the story of the women who had the issues of blood for 12 years. In story, it said she went all over looking for healing and found none. But then she heard about Jesus. And she thought to herself, IF I can touch the hem of his garment, I would be healed. The Bible said, immediately her blood was healed.  “ And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest

Don’t talk defeat

Image
I can’t listen  God answer to you, is YES and AMEN God is amazing. There is a song we sing at my church which states “Don’t talk defeat to me because I am a child of God and I have the victory….” . So powerful and there are times we must sing this song when we the enemy is trying to block us. The other day, my two and half year old son asked me for something. He said mom, “can you buy ice-cream for us from the ice cream truck come by later” Before I can answer he said oh, don’t talk defeat to me because I am a child of God, okay.  I just looked at him and start laughing. I said okay of course. Now I thought to myself, Lord that’s a good one. He made sure he mentions you in his talking to get what he wants. He even reminded, me that he is a child of God and not to talk defeat to him. He knew what he wanted, he knew how to ask and he received it. So, he encouraged me and I want to encourage you. Are you speaking and asking God, for what you want in the right manner? Are you

Yes

Trusting God loves you and me “For God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not die but have eternal life”(John 3:16). Amen Let your answer be YES. Yes to God ways. Yes to trusting in him. Yes to realizing that you cannot do anything without him. Yes to everything he has in store for you. There are times we give God the praises when think all is going well with us. But then we soon stop praising because we feel as though we can handle our problems on our own. But that’s a big mistake! When we learn to hope and trust in the Lord, it shows us that we are dependent on him and he recognizes that he has to care for us. After all he is our maker, our Beginning and End. Our Provider, healer, etc., mainly he is the Author and finisher of our faith. God is always a good, God. And in order for us to enjoy the goodness of this word, we must ACKNOWLEDGE him, in everything we do. Yes every single thing, from our family, health, f

Unwavering

 Never Give up The blessings of the Lord, is upon you... There are times you have to make up your mind that you shall not be moved. Regardless, of the situations or your circumstances in your life, you will not waver in your spirit, body mind and soul.  Sometimes you have to remind yourself that the Lord didn’t bring you this far to leave you. You have to know that you are the child, God loves. And He will never leave you or forsake you. Don’t allow your storms to take you under. Strengthen yourself in the Lord. Be uplifted and be unchanged able in your mindset about whom you are and whom you belongs too.  Don’t be derailed from believing and receiving what the Lord has promised to you, because of unbelief or doubt.  No, no, no, God loves you and his blessings are FREE to those who are trusting, and believing in and on him. What is troubling you today? Don’t let it stop you from given God the praises he deserved. We know when the praises goes up the blessings comes down.

Remain

 In His Presence Let your hope be in the Lord, ALWAYS. To God be the glory. God is awesome and he has a wonderful way of showing us his grace and mercies. There are times you are going through a particular situation and you feel as though everything is against you. But when you begin to speak to goodly people and reminisce on the goodness of the Lord, you soon realize that God always have a better plan for you. For the past several years, I just felt like everywhere I go and everything I do seems to be at a standstill. Every door I knock seems to open and then closes. Recently I went to take care of some business, only to be told that what I desire is not for me because, the other person felt, I like things to be in order. Let me tell you it really troubled me, because I know I am a child of God, and when he is involved in your life thing MUST be in order. He will make every crooked path straight and where there is darkness, light would shine. So I was very upset because

Feelings

Image
Don’t live by it. Lord, our trust is in you..... It’s just amazing that when you are a Believer you don’t live by feelings, but, rather you live by faith. The word of God encourages us that we must trust in the Lord, at all  times. We know that faith is the substances of things hope for and the evidence of things not yet seen. Nevertheless, they are times, when you don’t feel quite like yourself. You find yourself, not wanting to do anything, not praying, can’t sleep and the list goes on. However, when you find yourself this way it not time to give into your feelings or emotions, it is time to PRAY and sometimes fast. It’s not every day you are going to feel jolly and excited about your life. But when you know the powers of Jesus and the price he has paid for your freedom, you can face tomorrow and any situation that arises. You don’t have to give in or give up to the negative voices of the enemy, but press forward knowing that God is fighting with you. Just remember that so

Moving Forward

Future How many of you wish you had a time machine, where you can go forward and see what the future holds. But guess what? You don’t need such a machine when you know Jesus. Most of us heard of  or know of Jeremiah 29:11 which states, “ For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Amen. It is such a powerful passage, yet at times, you can wonder if it is true. But I must say every word that comes out from the mouth of the Lord it’s always true. When the burdens and issues of live, begins to burden you down, you feel a sense that all is lost and a sense of hopelessness. But it’s a trick from the enemy. He is hoping that you give into your feelings, you will abundant your vision and most importantly that you will stop trusting in the Lord. Most of us know that the enemy only comes, to steal, kill, and destroy. Don’t be fooled for one minute that he is going to allow you a smooth pass

A Helping Hand Keep trusting in the Lord.... “Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth. Worship the Lord with gladness; come before him with joyful songs. Know that the Lord is God. It is he who made us, and we are his[a]; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture” (Psalms 100:1-3). Amen . There are times you ask the Lord for a helping hand. You find yourself in some situations, that you are not quite sure how you got there. Many of the times you don’t have to look too far. The problem and the opponents are right around you. When you read the story of Joseph in beginning of Genesis 37, you would read how he shared his dreams with his relatives and they doubted him. As you continue to read, you will notice that it was his brothers who sold him into slavery, because of jealously. For some of us it’s our family, friends, co-workers, and sometimes generation curses, which tries to keep us down. Nevertheless when you are a child of God, nothing and no one can keep you dow
