Direction

Trust in the Lord at all times 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.  I recall a church message one of my Pastor shared with us. He explained there are six things we should be mindful of when we are serving the Lord. He made it straight and clear. It was helpful, be

God's Will

Always trust in the Lord! “Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done.” 43 An angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him. 44 And being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground.[c]" (Luke 22:42-44).  I could only image what was going through Jesus mind when he asks his Father to take this suffering away from him. He knew he had his Father work to complete, but I believe the suffering made him fed-up. There are times when you are going through a struggle and believe me, it seems worse than death. Because if you die, you will make to heaven, that’s if you are a believer. But when you have to suffer whether it is in your health, family or finances, it’s the worst struggle. Nevertheless, we must remember that God does not give us anything we cannot handle. As I go through some struggles in my life, I tell you, I get fed-up. I cry, I pray, I sign, I talk with the Lord

Future

Trust in the Lord for a better Future! Lately, I find my mind tends to go back to the past, but I told myself, my past is my past and my future is looking bright. I know it’s a trick from the enemy to make me feel like my life is getting nowhere. But the devil is and always will be a liar, in Jesus name.  My minds is made up that I am standing on Solid Rock, Jesus and I will not be moved. I know without any doubt that I cannot change my past, so I called my mind in Jesus name out of the past and into my future, in Jesus name. Amen. You don’t have to look back at your old life, when you already surrender to God. You don’t need to go back and look back at what you could have done better or change. Truth be told, you are right where you supposed to be. God knew that you would be here today. What you need to do is keep trusting in the Lord, and keep pressing forward, for that which you need is in front of you.  For we cannot change the past be we can change our future when our expecta

Faith

God is FAITHFUL 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 get ti

Steadfast

God is 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 will do

Thank God our freedom was brought with the price of death through Jesus Christ. Freedom is awesome and when you have a choice to choose life because Christ, it’s a blessing. And When Christ has set us free there is no need to continue to life in bondages. Most of us are aware that generation curses would visit us in our times. And rest assured today, many of us are recipients of these curse. But thank God for the blood of Jesus, which has set us free from all bondages and curses. We must believe that what happen to auntie Jackie, uncle Paul, cousin Edith and grandma Margret, is not our portion. In Jesus name, Amen. Yes, not ours because whom the Son set free, is free indeed from all slavery. There are two types of slavery, mental and physical. But the biggest battle is the mental slavery. For it is true you can take a person physical body out a problem. But if there mindset has not change they will continue to live in captivity. The word of God tells us that we are transform by t

Rejoice

God is faithful! We must always stand on the promises of the Lord, even when we don’t want too. The Lord reminds us to “be glad, people of Zion, rejoice in the Lord your God, for he has given you the autumn rains because he is faithful. He sends you abundant showers, both autumn and spring rains, as before. The threshing floors will be filled with grain; the vats will overflow with new wine and oil (Joel 2:23-24). Praise be to his Holy name. Hallelujah! This is God’s promises to us that we must rejoice because he is faithful. As you continue to put your trust in the Lord, know that he will never put you to shame. Even though you might not be where you want to be, keep trusting in the Lord. Know that you will make it, to your destination. Don’t lose hope but focus of your vision to overcome. Be aware that God yes, always means yes. He never withholds any good things from us. Sometimes our blessings may tarry, but know when it is time for you to receive and walk into your bles

Comforter

Jesus our Friend! Our God is awesome. There is no like Him, He is mighty and great. He is a healer, deliverer and protector and nothing is too big or too small for Him to handle. Don’t be fooled. God is God. The Bible tells us that God is our refuge and strength in time of trouble. He is the one who brings comforts to us when we need it. In John 14: 26-27 it says, “ But the Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, Standby), the Holy Spirit, Whom the Father will send in My name [in My place, to represent Me and act on My behalf], He will teach you all things. And He will cause you to recall (will remind you of, bring to your remembrance) everything I have told you.27 Peace I leave with you; My [own] peace I now give and bequeath to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. [Stop allowing yourselves to be agitated and disturbed; and do not permit yourselves to be fearful and intimidated an

Worship

God is LOVE! The Lord is awesome and wonderful. He is a helper, our present help in time of trouble. He is the Alpha and Omega. He is the great I AM. He is the Beginning and the End.  Sometimes you just have to forget about everything and everyone and worship the Lord. Let him know how much you love and appreciate Him. How much you need Him. How much you are thankful for His grace and mercies. How much you adore Him.  God loves when we acknowledge His presence and speak to Him. Even though we may think He knows what is going on, He loves to hear it from us. He wants to know how we are hurting and how we are trusting in Him. “ Bless the Lord, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His holy name!2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits:3 Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases,4 Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies,5 Who satisfies your mouth with good things, So that your yout
