 Keep it REAL...
God looks at our heart..


There is no freedom, like the freedom you receive from Christ Jesus. Have you ever notice when God is in control of your life that you can always face the trials and tribulations that comes your way. For no weapons, big or small forming against you shall prosper, in Jesus name.  Each of us has our own faith. Some are like mustard seeds and some like apple seeds. It’s doesn't matter the size. What matters is your faith to trust in the Lord despite everything that is happening around you.

Despite the setback, despite the fiery darts, despite not receiving that which you think you need right away. God doesn't look at our outward appearance and how religious we are to bless us. No he looks at our heart. He looks at our faithfulness. He looks at our obedience to follow his instruction and our commitments to allow him to be in control of everything we have and everything we do. He wants full access of us. Yes, and event thought you might say that all good it could be sometimes hard.

But I must say don’t try to reason with God. Just do what he says and surrender all to him and you will see changes in your life. You cannot serve him with one foot in and the other out. No, it either you are for him or you not. Of course don’t feel you have to be perfect, because none of us is perfect, including me. He is the only perfect one. Instead, he loves each of the same but he wants us to be responsible and honest with him.

Honest when we fail and not fail. Honest when we need help to stop doing the things that are not of him. Honest to change some of our negative behaviors. Just, pure honesty with ourselves and him. When we keep it real, with Jesus, he keeps it real with us. Despite him knowing each of us before we were formed in our mother’s womb, he wants us to communicate and talk to him daily about what’s going on and what we need help with him. Not just only communicate but to be obedient to his will and his ways.

Look they are many things; I still struggle with in my own life. But that does not stop me from speaking to Jesus or asking him to help me in areas that I am not so good in. Nevertheless, God doesn't reject or criticize me, I am a work in progress, As a matter of fact we are all work in progress. For he is the Potter and we are the clay, and when you are in the Potter hands, he will always work on you to bring the best out of you. David was a man after God owns heart, yet he did many wrongs. Nevertheless he said, “Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me.11 Do not cast me away from Your presence, And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me.12 Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, And uphold me by Your generous Spirit.13 Then I will teach transgressors Your ways, And sinners shall be converted to You (Psalm 51:10-13). Amen.  Wow, if David can address his wrongs and ask God for forgiveness, and for him no to take his Holy Spirit from him. What about you and me, who are better, off today than David in a sense that Jesus lives in us and we can access to him anytime and where.

My friends, God has paid the price for us to live in freedom. We must have faith to trust in him despite what we see or think. We must acknowledge our wrong doings and ask for forgiveness, when we are wrong. We can also ask for help in areas that we need improvements. God doesn't care how much we do to impress others, but he looks at our heart. He looks at our sincerity to be obedient to him and to allow him to direct us. Don’t be discourage because you have done wrong, rather run into the arms of God and seek his forgiveness, his guidance and be obedient to his will. Today make time and speak to the Lord and be honest with him and watch him make the changes you desire. Be Blessed.

 Trust God is Faithful The Lord we serve is a God who is organize, and he is not of confusion. How many of you are currently in some type of problems? Whether it is on your job, school or home, it seems to be some type of conflict. But you must realize these disputes are not of God, for the Lord we serve is a God of order and flow. When Jesus is in your life things will begin to flows, the way he sees fit. It’s like when you look at a river, you see the water flowing down stream. And it is so, with Christ Jesus, things always flow nicely. However, there are times when the water is raging. The water represents your situation or problems. It is making noises, too loud for you to handle. Now you find yourself asking, what I am going to do. You ask the Lord, how long should I wait?  Yet it seems, like the Lord is not listening and you are going under. After you take matters in your own hands, you realize he had heard your cry. You will find that you had moved to quickly...

How to Self-care

Image
What is self-care? When we think of self-care, we usually think of a vacation, going to the spa, shopping, or spending time alone. This can be true, but how do you care for yourself when you constantly put everything and everyone in front of you? Whether it is your spouse, family, children, friends, work, etc. Some people consider self-care selfish, but no one will care for you if you don’t care for yourself. There was a time when I cared for everyone, expecting myself. Don’t get me wrong, I still care for others, but I ensure self-care first. When I was people-pleasing, I set no boundaries; I wanted to please everyone except myself. Whether someone asked me to do something, I did it. Whether I was exhausted, I got the task done. One day, I realized I was running on empty, and no one cared. I remember writing a post about not being the energizer bunny, and I didn’t understand then that I was speaking to my inner spirit. People-pleasing can be very dangerous to your mental, physical, an...

Create in me a clean heart Lord Lord, you have been our dwelling place throughout all generations.2 Before the mountains were born or you brought forth the whole world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God (Psalm 90:1-2). There is no body like Jesus. My friends every day we must make it our business to connected to God. We have to make sure that our heart is clean and righteous before Him.

My friends, check-in to make sure your priority is in good standing with Jesus. Be blessed.

Relax, Jesus is with you! Despite how things are currently looking, don’t through in the towel, just hold on. Help is on its way. God is an amazing God who never ceases to stop helping and guiding us, once we keep our part to trust and acknowledge him. Sometimes as I sit and look at situation in my life and around me, I cannot stop thanking the Lord because I know he is my defender. For I acknowledge that none of the battles I face is mines, but the Lord. Don’t get frustrated and don’t come out from under the covering of God, because know once he is for you, who can be against you. Today we live in a world where people are jealous of others. No one wants to work for their own. Rather they desire other people blessings and spend endless time trying to obtain it. But thank God for Jesus. When He is covering your home, family and friend, no weapons forming against you or your loved ones shall prosper. “Give ear to my prayer, O God, And do not hide Yourself from my supplicatio...

 Beauty Patience is truly divine, when you are waiting on the Lord. The beauty about patience, is when your complete trust is in the Lord, alone you know that he will always rescue you, despite, what your natural eyes is seeing. Sometimes, while waiting the time seems like it’s not moving and other times it is moving too fast. Nevertheless, God is always on time. Today, I give God praise because he did not give to me, my blessings when I thought I need it. Rather it was on his time. Had I receive my blessings too earlier, I would have missed his true power being manifest in my life. I would be lost in the world without any hope for my future. However, when Christ Jesus is in your live, it is with a certainty that you can always face tomorrow. Can you look back and see how God’s grace has brought you through some situations, you thought was hopeless? As I look back at my old life, I can see, it was God’s grace and mercies that keep me going, for so long and I thank him. The...

Sabotage

    In life, you will experience many disappointments. But the one person you cannot afford to disappoint is yourself. When everyone has let you down, you must learn to encourage yourself. What does disappointment look like? It looks like when people reject you, when people abandon you when people believe you will turn out to be nothing good, when people on your job try to sabotage your work, when your family doesn’t support you, when people who you have help and though is your friend tells lies on you etc. Disappointment can look different to each of us depending on how you view and see your situation.   I love to talk about my situation because it helps me heal, grow, and develop into the woman God says I am. All my life, I have been disappointed by people. People who don’t believe in me. People who spoke negativity into my life from childhood. People whom I have helped told lies to me. During my school years, people (teachers) thought I would not become anythin...

Bold

Be BOLD in Christ, Jesus! “And now, O Lord, hear their threats, and give us, your servants, great boldness in preaching your word” (Acts 4:29). God is amazing and his love for us endures forever. There are times when situation arise in our life and we must confront it immediately. Don’t wait to assess it rather nip in the roots ASAP before it grows and become a tree. How many of you could recall that when you were in the world you were bold. The minute anyone looks at you the wrong way, you were ready to cut them up with either a look or words. Yes, I raised my hands. Some of you might still be that way, but when the enemy sends trouble your way, your mouth is closed. You begin to cry and in some cases you tell others your problems, well known that they can’t help you. Well guess what, the same boldness you have or would have had, use it to against the enemy. Open your mouth and command everything not of God to be uprooted and return back to the pits of hell. Why waste time ...
