I remember a time when I needed to make an important decision and I consulted God for guidance and direction. But when God told me what to do, my own mind and feelings stirred me to the opposite direction of what God had told me to do. I ended up making the wrong decision by taking the wrong road and boy did I face the consequences of that decision!
When we fail to obey the direction and voice of God, we live to regret it. When King Saul failed to follow specific direction...s from God, he had to face the consequences of being rejected by God as king. God took the Kingdom of Israel away from him and handed it to David.
We must obey God's word and directions at all times. I know sometimes we think we are "helping" God by deviating from his instructions and plan, but God doesn't need our help. King Saul thought sacrificing the sheep, goats, cattle, and plunder he took from the Amalekites, would please the Lord - even though God specifically told him to destroy everything. He was wrong because bible says in 1 Samuel 15:11 that God was "sorry that he ever made Saul king"
1 Samuel 15:22 says, "But Samuel replied, What is more pleasing to the Lord: your burnt offerings and sacrifices or your obedience to his voice? Listen! Obedience is better than sacrifice, and submission is better than offering the fat of rams"
Seek God's direction in all you do and OBEY his direction and his WORD. May God lead you into this new blessed week. May he go before you, May he go with you and May he follow you in all you do. May God continue to bless you and your families!
***Happy New Week my Friends!***

Lamentations 3:24 is one of my MANY favorites scriptures. It says; "The Lord is MY PORTION,” says my soul, “Therefore I HOPE in Him!”
We all know just how much God loves us. So why do we often forget this fact and WORRY about things we cannot control? Have you ever seen "worry or tears" rectify ANY problem?
We know God's plan for us is perfect and hopefully - we also KNOW that we can fully TRUST Him. Our heavenly Father KNOWS our needs, wants and desires. So must relinquish ...absolute control to him. We MUST seek Him as the ANSWER for everything in our lives - always! God has enabled us to rest confidently in him and to KNOW that He’s always working on our behalf, in our best interest, and to manifest His glory in our lives. Today, let us set our list of wants and needs and seek God diligently.
Let's go before Him with a HEART of worship, adoration and praise. Let us get LOST in His PRESENCE and GLORY. Let us REMEMBER His MERCY and favor. Let us relish His grace. Let's love Him wholeheartedly. I urge you to Choose Him as your Portion today! May God continue to Bless You and your families. May God Order your steps. Amen!

***Happy Friday Everyone!***

A pastor got so angry and told a troublemaker in his congregation who had constantly been getting on his nerves that; "You don't know me. Huh?, If you are not careful, I will put this bible on the floor and beat you mercilessly, I used to be the area fighter back in the days. You better go and check my history" :) (Before he realized what just came out of his mouth. Of course. Lol)
Does that sound familiar? Are you occasionally tempted to "show" or "remind" someone of who yo...u "used" to be or what you are made of??
Yep - I'm ashamed to admit that I've been there too. The thing is - when you become "born-again", Satan gets angry about losing you. He becomes very determined to return you back to him. So he will intentionally target what he knows to be your weakest link by sending his agents in the form of people to constantly tap into that link through temptations. And if you are not careful, my friend, you will break by retaliating. But once you break, you have backslided - hence giving Satan his wish. Bible says in 2 Corinthians 5:17 that "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a NEW creation; OLD things have PASSED AWAY; behold, ALL things have become NEW"

We should all keep this scripture in mind at all times and know that whatever or whoever we were BEFORE we repented and got saved by the grace of God, we are NO LONGER that person. That person is dead forever and should never be referred to or revived - ever again. The very minute we even CONSIDER reviving that old character or habit, we have pleased Satan and given him victory over us. As Christians, let us SOAK ourselves in PRAYER constantly and consistently. If we PRAY without ceasing, Satan and his agents will never succeed in our lives. Don't allow Satan to make you backslide. God has brought you way too far for you to go back. #HOLD onto God's grace and his #word. May God continue to bless you and your families!

Every time you find yourself doubting God, think back and look over your life and remember how far He has brought you. Remember all the hard times He "held your hand" through. Remember all the tears He wiped from your face. Remember all the battles He won for you.
And oh... don't forget all the fears He helped you overcome. And KNOW THAT HE IS GOD.
He will see you through this one too and He will take you far.
Jeremiah 31:3 says: "Long ago the Lord said to Israel: I have ...LOVED YOU, MY PEOPLE, with an everlasting love. With unfailing love I have drawn you to myself."

May God continue to bless you and your families!
***Have a Blessed New Week***
By Evangelist Naomi Antwi

"God’s law was given so that all people could see how sinful they were. But as people sinned more and more, God’s wonderful grace became more abundant. So just as sin ruled over all people and brought them to death, now God’s wonderful grace rules instead, giving us right standing with God and resulting in eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" Romans 5:20-21
Please Pray with me,
Dear God, with a grateful heart, I approach your throne of grace this morning in reverence and total humility. I am fully aware that you are holy and majestic. Speak to me Lord. Bible says when I am overwhelmed only you can show me the way. Please show me the plans you have for me. Please bind me to your word and to your majestic strength. Please grant me the courage to obey your word and to love my enemies. Please help me to forgive others as you have forgiven my own sins. Please restore my brokenness and heal my heartache for the beauty of your glory. Please help me to continue trusting your plans for my life and continue to remind me of your freely given GRACE. In Jesus’s name I pray, Amen!!!
May God continue to bless you and your families! May God direct your path as you cruise through this week and beyond.
