 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.  One of our Pastors from church 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 we might only do one or the other and miss our exit.  That’s why it is important for us to read carefully, follow all instructions and directions. When you follow steps, it helps you to elevate and make progress in our life. The steps to seeing God’s Glory:

1)     Acknowledge God (recognize that he is real)
2)     Service him hold heartily (we served God by serving others)
3)     Keep your motive pure (if you only serve, to get something out of it, you’re only serving yourself)
4)     Be Faithful (regardless of the results, still trust in the Lord)
5)     Realize that God chose you (he has a specific purpose for each one of us to fulfill)
6)     Be Strong (God has equip you with all you need to succeed)

Now these are all simple steps, yet it can be sometimes difficult to follow. I happen to share it with a friend and during the conversation about her situation, we discovered, that when God choose, you for a specific task you must know that has already equip you for the battle. With that said, don’t allow the enemy to speak negativity to you, about who you are and what you used to be. The devil is a liar, in Jesus name. Amen. We all have a past, but when we accept Christ Jesus all old things has passed away and all things become new. Hallelujah, praise his holy name.

Our daily activities should include following the steps to help encourage us with our walk with Christ. For some of you, it might be your faith, when you feel the intensity of fire blazing and you think, God is not there. While, others needs to recognize that God has chosen you for a specific task and you feel someone else should do it. Honestly speaking, there are times, I need to stay and be strong. Nevertheless, be aware that God knows you before you were born. He knows what assignments you can and cannot handle. Rest assured that he has equipped you for the journey.  Don’t fret, don’t worry, but be empowered and continue to trust in the Lord.  So as you are faced with the trials of life remember the six steps to success.  The Lord said, “Just be determined, be confident; and make sure that you obey the whole Law that my servant Moses gave you. Do not neglect any part of it and you will succeed wherever you go. 8 Be sure that the book of the Law is always read in your worship. Study it day and night, and make sure that you obey everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. 9 Remember that I have commanded you to be determined and confident! Do not be afraid or discouraged, for I, the Lord your God, am with you wherever you go.”(Joshua 1:7-9). So as the Lord, is with us, don’t be dismay about your situation, follow all of God’s direction, advice, and allow him to navigate you, through life. Be blessed and stay Strong.

 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

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...

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 ...
