God is ALWAYS faithful! Stay steadfast and trust in the Lord. Know that God will never leave you or forsake you. Shake off all negative, feelings, thoughts and emotions and speak the blessings of the Lord over your life. Don’t speak defeat for you are an overcomer! You are a winner and winner, who NEVER quit! Be encouraged and know that all is well in the hands of the Lord. For he is always faithful to those whose hope is in him. Make a joyful shout to the Lord, all you lands! 2 Serve the Lord with gladness; Come before His presence with singing. 3 Know that the Lord, He is God; It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves;[a]We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.4 Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.5 For the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting, And His truth endures to all generations. (Psalm 100) Let your hope be in Jesus. Rejoice and surrender all to him. Be at peace and know he wil

Attention

Sacrifice it what gets God attention! What is sacrifice? It’s doing something in order to receive another thing that is going to help you increase. For instance, when God allowed his only son, Jesus to die for us, it was a sacrifice. God had to give up his son, in order to save our souls, so that we may have life and be able to live it abundantly. Jesus died and many of us are saved because of him, because he was our sacrifice. He took our place of death and in return we are free through the blood of Jesus. Everyone wants to be blessed. Everyone wants the best in life. As a matter of fact, every good and bad person wants better. But not everyone is willing to pay the price. Not everyone is willing to make a sacrifice. Not everyone is willing to trust in the Lord with all their hearts and lean not to their own understanding. Not everyone wants to pray, fast or plants seeds. Not everyone is willing to lose something to gain another. As I was in deep mediation, I thought of t

Humble Cry

Image
Hear my cry, O'Lord! There are times we have to do something different to draw God’s attention to our situation. We have to cry out and ask him to help us, especially when we are feeling low or sad. There is an awesome song that goes  “pass me not of gentle savior, hear my humble cry, while other thou are calling, please don’t pass me by”.  And it’s a powerful song when you sit and think about it. You are asking the Lord to bless you even though others are calling. That’s total faith, when you don’t care what is going on around you but you are focus on the Lord himself. You are focused to point where you are saying, Lord even though you have to help others, help me, don’t pass me without first attending to my prayers or my situation. And as Believers that how we must pray, with that certainty that God, I don’t care who is standing by, help me, because I am your child. You have to do something different every time to draw God’s attention. Don’t get tired of praying. Don’t g

Be still

Stand still and trust in the Lord! It’s amazing when you totally, put your trust in the Lord, you will always receive the VICTORY! Many times, we try to battle in our own strength, but then we realize it doesn’t work. However, when your hope and trust is in the Lord, you can conquer all things through Christ Jesus who strengthen you. You know longer feel broke, bust or disgust. Rather you are empowered, by his words, his grace and mercies for he will always see you through. The word for day is simple, you don’t have to worry or be afraid. God has everything under control. Just know once you give it to him, it’s finished. Just trust and trust and trust and trust that you have the Victory! In fact the word of God said  …“ Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which He will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall see again no more forever. 14 The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.”(Exodus 14:13-14)

Embrace

Run into the arms of Jesus! God is amazing and when you cry out to him, he has an amazing way of letting you know, he care for you. How many of you can testify of his greatness? When you look back at some situations in your life, you know without a doubt that God was keeping you. As I was meditating with God, I realize that it is true that he send some situations to test us and other times, the enemy just invites himself, in. Nevertheless, when your complete trust is in the Lord, he will make a way out.  For I recognize that if you don’t have a relationship with Christ, Jesus for yourself, you can be misled by others, because people can misuse the scriptures and the words of God to control others. Even in such circumstances, where a person feels they can control a person, God will deal with them, because his words are not to be used to keep others in suppression or oppression.  But to lift them up to know who he is and how much he cares for each of us. As I read Galatians

Instruction

Image
Jesus is the right direction! In order to succeed in life, we need to follow instructions and directions. At times, following instruction can be very difficult, especially, when you are the type of person who likes to figure thing out, on your own. On the other hand, when you are a detail oriented person you can sometime, missed the “big picture”. However, if you only pay attention to the “big picture”, you can miss the details. Regardless, of your style of learning, Christ way is always, the best way. Nevertheless, he encourages us to use wisdom.  Wisdom teaches you how to balance out everything you do. God directs and navigates us through our problems. But,  if  you are not humble enough, you will miss your exit. And when you are on a mission, you cannot afford to miss your exit.  The other day, I went to church and the Pastor shared with us six things we should be mindful of when we are serving the Lord. He made it straight and clear. It was helpful, because unconsciously w

Grace

Image
God's grace is sufficient!  On a daily basis, we must thank God for his grace and mercies. Each day begins a new day. The love of Christ, is so powerful and sometimes, we forget his simple words of,  for God so loved the world that he send his only begotten so that whosever believes in him shall not perish, but have everlasting life (John 3:16).  These simple words are touching and bring healing to the broken souls. It is at the cross that Jesus died and paid the price, so that we may have the choice to choose life. There are times when you are faced with trials and it seems like all hope is lost. But then again, you have to encourage yourself, with the world of God. You have to know what he says about you.  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. (Jeremiah 29:11) . You must be confident that these plans are true. God wants you to live in peace, harmony, love, unity and to be pro

Words

Is Jesus in your WORDS? Most of us know that life and death lies within our tongue. Words have power and it can either heal or hurt a person. And many times in life some people consciously or unconsciously love to say what they want, when they want and how they want. With no regards of how it can affect a person. Likewise vice-versa, if we are not carefully of how we react to people when they speak to us, it could cause damage. But thank God for blood of Jesus. When your trust is in Christ Jesus, he teaches you self-control.  Many times people feel because you are a Christian, you are a fool. They fail to realize that it is wisdom, when you have self-control and that it is God, who is going to fight your battle. Today, you might find yourself upset and want to tell some people off. But Wait a minute! Waiting, waiting and breathing! Give it to God, for he will defend you. In fact the word of God said,  “…, listen and understand. 11 What goes into someone’s mouth does not de

Mustard seed

God can use mustard seed faith! It is said that if you have faith like a mustard seed you can move mountains. And let me say that is so true when you believe for changes. Yet when the intensity of your situation presses on you, you can find yourself doubting because of fear. But let me say when you are trusting in the Lord, you will feel the pressure, yet it will NOT over take you. Many times you have to remind yourself of God promises over and over and over until you feel better. Don’t think that you can speak to it one time and it gets better. No the enemy will speak over and over until he gets you to believe a lie. But when you know who you are and whom you belong too, you better be, prepare to reject all the negative words and speak positive ones until you see changes. My friend, I too have struggles but I never stop believing  and trusting in the Lord  because I have learned to understand, God works best when I believe. He responds when I hold on to my faith and trust

Mountain

Image
No mountain too high for Jesus! It’s amazing what your praises can do. When you mind is made up and your heart set on Jesus, all mountains can be moved. All situations can be changed. Everyone impossible begins to look possible. All sorrows begin to look like joy. All weakness begins to feel like strength. What a mighty and awesome God we serve. One who is always in the business of doing great things! So he will receive the glory and we reap the benefits. My friends don’t stop trusting in the Lord. Don’t be frustrated or get tired of doing good. Don’t take your eyes off of Jesus. But stay steadfast in his might and will. The Psalmist wrote,   “Truly God is good to Israel, To such as are pure in heart.2 But as for me, my feet had almost stumbled; My steps had nearly slipped.3 For I was envious of the boastful, When I saw the prosperity of the wicked” (Psalm 73:1-3).  And my God there are times when we too feel that God is not working and he has forgotten us and we tend to take

Battle

Keep trusting in the Lord! To win any battle, you have to be motivated. You have to be ready for a war. But before the war, you must have a plan on how you will defeat your enemy. Nevertheless, Christ MUST first, be, in your plan. You will not win any battle without him. You might get a little victory, but to kill the enemy dead, never to return, you need Jesus. As I thinking, about the many victory King David had I realize he was motivated. He didn’t lean on his own understanding, nor did he fight in his own strength. At present time, for those of us who truly serve and trust in the Lord, we are aware that God is our only hope and source. Many people in the Bible knew this, and this is why we today, who are better off than them, should recognize it. In past, they had to wait to hear from the Lord, but now he lives inside of us and we can access, him anytime. Amen, Hallelujah. When we look at the passage in first Samuel 30, we would see King David was faced with a situatio

Friend

What a friend, we have in Jesus! “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope” (Jeremiah 29:11). There no greater friend, like the one we have in Jesus. Everyone day as I met and talk with people, I try my best to express that Jesus is our friend. I say talk to him like you are talking to a friend standing in front of you. Most time when you have a true relationship with Christ, you find that he has a great sense of humor. He tells you something in the stillness, of your quiet time and all you can do is laugh. I love the Lord and I love to talk about him. I don’t think there is a day, minute or second, where I don’t acknowledge him. Not because I want to be special, but because I understand that I need him, every minute and second. When I met people and they say I am struggling with this or that or I have this problem, I always say you need to pray and give it to Jesus. I don’t try to ma
