There were times when the last thing I wanted to do was talk to God or read his WORD, I just didn't "feel" like it. I remember going through a difficult time and even though I knew what the WORD says about that situation and even though God revealed what was REALLY going on to me, I still couldn't bring myself to stay strong. I couldn't even pray effectively. It took a long time for me to grasp God's direction and his WORD on the matter. I got weak spiritually and physically - the flesh took over!

Has that ever happened to you???

God is Sovereign, All-knowing and powerful. BECAUSE God created us, He knows how weak we can get. He knows that sometimes even though the Spirit may be willing to remember and obey his WORD, the flesh might hold back due to different circumstances.

That is why Jesus told us in Matthew 26:41 to "Keep watch and PRAY, so that you will not give in to temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak!”

To keep your flesh aligned with your spirit, you MUST PRAY more. Study the Bible DAILY. Remember to read the WORD when the flesh gets weak and prayer seems far fetched. May God give you STRENGTH when you get weak and May God be your ROCK to lean on.

May God favor you in ways that WILL BLOW your mind! !!

May God continue to BLESS you and your families!

I had a very interesting conversation with a lady some time ago and after some counseling, I felt the need to share a little bit of the story with you because most of us are guilty of this very thing. So, this lady was so angry with a few members of her family and she had all her victims neatly fastened and tied with a grudge inside her heart - literally a time bomb waiting for the appropriate time to avenge. These people obviously had no idea she was angry with them, because they seem to have a great relationship with her. So I asked the lady what they had done to upset her so badly. Her answer was; "Well, I was told by someone that they said this and that about me, and I was told they did this and that to me behind my back"... and so on. I couldn't believe her explanation!

So I asked; "All this anger is based on something someone said they did and not something they said or did DIRECTLY to you??"

Most of us can relate to this lady's story. We hate someone BASED on hearsay and gossip.

My friends, if you line up five people and wisper a message into the first person's ears and ask them to pass it on, I promise you that by the time the message gets to the fifth person, it would be a completely different message. Keep in mind that rumors changes as it flies.

Psalm 1:1 says, "Oh, the joys of those who do not follow the advice of the wicked, or stand around with sinners or join in with mockers"

Don’t ever make a decision solely based on what someone said. Investigate the matter so that you can make a FACTUAL informed decision. May God continue to bless you and your families!

Yes, children must be respectful of adults.

I believe this has been and still is an unwritten rule of every generation and every culture. And I totally agree with that rule. BUT, because of this rule, some adults don't regard anyone who is younger than they are - as "human". Because of this rule, some adults refuse to show respect to anyone they perceive as "young", in their minds anyone younger than them - is a "child" and that "child" doesn't deserve their respect. But of course they expect respect from that "child".

Now, I understand it is normal for us to still see our youngest sibling as a "child" - even if they turn 50 years old - because we've known them since they were in diapers. So that makes sense. But even in that case, we must STILL respect our youngest siblings as they get older. Respect is NOT something you DEMAND from someone just because you are older than that person. If you DEMAND respect, I guarantee you that you will get disrespect in return.

Why? Because respect is something you have to EARN by FIRST respecting yourself and ALL others - adults and children alike. Let me throw in one of my favorite scriptures in here, Titus 2:7, "And YOU yourself must be an EXAMPLE to them by doing good works of every kind. Let everything you do reflect the integrity and seriousness of your teaching"

1 Peter 2:17 also tells us RESPECT EVERYONE.

God created ALL people, so we must respect ALL people regardless of their age, race, and culture. God's WILL for us is to show respect to EVERYONE. #RespectYourselfAndOthers and I promise you that EVERYONE WILL RESPECT you. May God continue to bless you and your families!

We often wonder whether the God who made the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers cured, the deaf hear, all those years ago is still operating in this life. We wonder whether the God who cured the woman with the issue of blood, whether the God who gave Hannah and Sarah babies, the God who raised the dead and brought Moses and Israel out of bandage is still alive today. I say YES He IS!

Bible says, "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. So do not be attracted by strange, new ideas. Your strength comes from God’s grace, not from rules about food, which don’t help those who follow them".

Hebrews 13:8-9 confirms that indeed the God of Jacob, Isaac and Abraham is the same God of today. If you are still in doubt, take a quick look around you and count even the tiniest blessings in your life. I don't know about you, but I am a living testimony of the fact that God IS STILL the SAME. God never changes, so don't you give up on Him yet.....

May God continue to bless you and your families!

"Never would have made it, never could have made it, without you....I would have lost it all, but now I see how you were there for me".......
Hm!!....Mr. Marvin Sapp was ON POINT with this song!...It was as if he read my mind to get the lyrics!...This song has ME and YOU written all over it. NONE of us COULD HAVE made it through the storms called "LIFE" without GOD. Whether we admit it or not, we all have testimonies. God has been good to us.
God has seen us all through something. For some of us, God has delivered us from some UNBELIEVABLE and IMPOSSIBLE situations, but we STILL have NEVER opened our mouths to testify to His glory. Because we are too ashamed and we are too busy worrying about how people will "take it" and how they will see us, after hearing our testimony. So we keep quiet - too afraid to openly testify. But, are you aware that, by withholding your testimony, you are giving satan and his cohorts EXACTLY what they want? YEP. They want you to be quiet about God's saving power in your life.
My friends, TESTIMONY is important. Giving God the glory and praise for the things He has done is imperative. Bible says God will NOT give His glory to anyone else.
Revelation 12:11 says, "AND THEY HAVE DEFEATED HIM BY THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB AND BY THEIR TESTIMONY"!!!.
EVERY BODY HAS A TESTIMONY!... I KNOW YOU have a lot of testimonies... Have you kept it all to yourself?, Are you sharing God's FAITHFULNESS in YOUR life????..
May God continue to bless you and your families! .

"Who am I kidding? things like this never happens to PEOPLE LIKE ME".. "there's just no way I can accomplish that because PEOPLE LIKE ME just don't get this lucky ".. "This kind of blessings only happens to others - not ME".

.."Oh I shouldn't get my hopes up - it won't happen for ME".....

These are the kind of thoughts some of us have before we try ANYTHING and we get surprised when we don't succeed. We take one look at our past, family and roots and we conclude that nothing worth accomplishing can come our way. REALLY??! :)

I mean, you ARE a child of a God who CAN make anything possible. You ARE a child of a God who MADE EVERYTHING and EVERYONE.

So I ask: If it can happen for others, why can't it happen for YOU? Bible says in Matthew 18:18;

“Assuredly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.

BECAUSE you ARE His precious child, God has already given you the keys of the kingdom of heaven therefore you must know that WHATEVER YOU BIND here on earth WILL be bound in heaven. That means WHATEVER YOU prophesy about your own life WILL happen. So please prophesy GREAT and POSITIVE things, backed by the confidence of knowing that God will grant you the wisdom, knowledge, favor, grace and blessings to accomplish THAT THING. #TrustGod.

May God continue to bless you and your families!

As a teenager, I used to think everyone who smiled in my face loved me. I thought everyone was just like me and would tell me if I ever offended them in anyway. I thought life was like an open book where everyone was exactly as you see them. Naive, right? :) yep.
But then I met a lady named Debra. She was a coworker at my very first job. Debra gave me so many reality checks I lost count. :) This lady was so sweet to everyone - in their presence, but she always had something ...bad to say about them the minute they turned their backs. At first I thought maybe she just had beef with the first person she talked about, but it turned out it wasn't personal :) gossip was just in her nature. She managed to turn many people against each other - secretly through her little gossips - while pretending to love all of them openly - Until the "D-day" came when she was exposed at a party.
Secrets and lies catches up to you - eventually.
Bible says; "The time is coming when everything that is covered up will be revealed, and all that is secret will be made known to all. Whatever you have said in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you have whispered behind closed doors will be shouted from the housetops for all to hear!"...Luke 12:2-3

My Friends, Secrets eventually gets exposed. Those of us who are dangerously operating in secret while pretending to be "helping or loving" one another must be careful. For people might not be aware of your "true" presence in their lives, but be rest assured that Yahweh KNOWS you extremely well and He will expose your doings to light for all to see. People, we can never deceive God, so why do we even try???
May God continue to bless you and your families!

I don't know about you, but when God first called me into ministry - I couldn't believe God will favor ME THIS way! I remember thinking and asking; "Me? Evangelist? No way!" :)
I remember saying to my husband "maybe God made a mistake and accidentally picked me - maybe he really meant to pick someone else - definitely not me" :) Then I started making myself a list of reasons why God couldn't and wouldn't possibly call ME. I told myself "I am a sinner - has God SEEN my resume?...?" "How can I get another person to repent"? There's just no way! :) I didn't think I deserved this FAVOR.

You have to understand that, when God wants to do something impossible, he usually uses the unlikely, impossible, unimportant, people. He uses the ones human beings have labelled "useless" - to accomplish his task. Understand that Satan will also TRY to deter, discourage and stop you from being used by God. Satan will use your past by playing mind games on you, he will also use people and situations to stop you. But Ephesians 6:11 encourages us to "Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be ABLE to STAND firm against all strategies of the devil"
Your calling might be a different blessing altogether; it might be a huge promotion, or huge break that you thought was impossible, it can be anything, God CAN blow your mind - but whatever God decides to do with you, allow Him and don't give Satan room to maneuver.
Be vigilant. #ArmYourselfWithPrayer.
#DontDoubtGod. God doesn't make mistakes. God KNOWS our past, present and future. So if He decides to favor you, accept it with great honor and humility. Yes - You might not deserve it, but if God thinks you deserve THAT FAVOR, who are you to doubt Him? #LetHimUseYou.
May God continue to bless you and your families!
