Don’t Tell Anyone

Many times when Jesus performed a miracle in someone’s life he told them, see to it that you tell no one. That same person wouldn’t be able to hold their peace and began telling everybody.

Why is it when God blesses us we tell everyone but when he chastises us we tell no one?

Some blessings we can’t even tell people about because everyone will not be happy for us. Then there are some blessings that we be like for real God you just blessed me and you want me to keep silent, you know I can’t do that!

However big or small the blessing is, be thankful for it, and if God tells you not to say a word then don’t because he has a purpose for you not sharing.

So I guess it’s time for us to learn how to be slow to speak and quick to hear.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

Just Ask

The bible says we have not because we ask not. As I was driving home yesterday God told me to email a certain individual and ask him to give me his car. In my mind I was like what? Then God said, what are you afraid of; you have not because you ask not.

Later that night I emailed the individual and asked if he had a car they wanted to give away. The individual asked why and what was going on. I explained that my daughter is graduating high school in a few days, I have three children, I’m raising my grandson and I’m a single parent. He replied right back to the email and said yes I have a car to give you but you have to put it in your name by tomorrow , and could he hold the car until Saturday due to some errands he had to run. Of course I said yes.

Today I met him and we transferred everything in my name and he explained how God told him to give the car away, he tried giving it to two other people and they didn’t respond. He then tried to get rid of it at the junk yard just to get the car out of his name but God quickly reminded him to give it away. Then I was obedient and did what God told me to do and ask.

Needless to say, this car has everything and it only needs two tires replaced. It’s going to my daughter as a graduation present. No car note, insurance is paid up for the year and it has all the bells and whistles. Had I not been obedient to the voice of God I would have missed out on my blessing and I wouldn’t have anything because I didn’t ask.

So the next time God tells you to open your mouth and ask, do it! You never know what he has in store for you.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

There Is No Failure In God

Just because things have not worked out the way we thought they should, doesn’t mean God is a failure.

We may have prayed for that loved one to survive and yet they died, that doesn’t mean that God is a failure.

We may have been fired from a job, that doesn’t mean that God is a failure.

We may have gotten a divorced and we really wanted the marriage, that doesn’t mean God is a failure.

Let’s look at ourselves for a second. How did we act in the marriage? Were we unbearable to live with or too controlling? Perhaps we never showed respect to the other person and drove them away. So is the failure in us or in God?

How about our attitude on the job; did we always complain how we hated our job and came to work late? Perhaps we took too long of a break and took long executive lunches and wasn’t productive at work. I ask again, who’s the failure; us or God.

Although we are saved we are expected to act like our father. We are to work as if we are working for The Lord. Husbands are to Love their wives as Christ loved the church and women are supposed to submit to their husbands.

Christ told men to love because they know how to submit to authority but they don’t know how to love. He told women to submit because they know how to love but society has told them they can do it all by themselves. Submitting to your spouse only means that you are submitting to the mission God has your husband on.

See there is no failure in God, but there is in man.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

Helpless

Are you going through anything and you just feel helpless? Does it make you sick that there’s nothing you can do about the situation? Is this situation making you rely on others and they really can’t help you either?

Well God has you in the right position. You can’t rely on no one but him. He’s going to get the glory out of this situation. Don’t get mad at the people you’ve been relying on and they can’t help, God designed it that way.

Feeling helpless doesn’t mean you have to be hopeless. It’s a good thing you can’t help out your situation because, truthfully; you would mess it up even greater and you still will have to rely on God.

In your hour of helplessness lean on God like never before. Stop talking about your situation to people who can’t do anything about it and keep it between you and the master.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

Against All Odds

This morning while I was running the wind was blowing strong and I was running against it. I wanted to stop because it felt like I was running in slow motion, but the breeze felt good. I could have complained that the wind was too strong but I decided to focus on the breeze. In focusing on the breeze I remembered why I was running. I like to eat and my morning runs is where I receive my instructions from The Lord.

On this journey we will be faced against all odds, sometimes we will want to quit and give up. However, we need to learn how to see the positive in every obstacle, we have to remember what is our purpose on this journey.

When I finally reached the point that I was aiming for, God gave me the strength to keep running past that point. He was showing me that he will do exceedingly abundantly above all I can even ask or think.

Don’t give up on this journey, don’t let the winds of life stop you from reaching your destiny. Dig deep, stay focused and watch God do some extraordinary things on your behalf.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

The Promises Of God

The bible says the promises of God are yea and amen, if this is the case, why don’t we believe them? Yet we choose to believe the promises of man and they fall through the majority of the time.

Starting today, we are going to stand on the promises of God and take him at his word. No more discounting God because man says something else.

We have to ask ourselves, where was man when we were on our way to a burning hell? The answer is probably, man was helping us pack our bags for the trip.

Now that we know better we are to do better.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

Spades

Many of us have played spades before, and some of us are down right excellent spade players. But there are some of us that really don’t like the game because it seems like we never get dealt a good hand. Spades is usually played with partners so you have to work together. You have to make sure you are not cutting each other or under bidding.

In life it may seem like someone else has all the spades and they are beating us in life. Better jobs, cars, families, and more money. So we begin to look at them and wish we had their hand. We wish they would renig on the hand they’ve been dealt so that we could have what they got.

Well that’s called coveting. We have to know what God has for me is for me; and what God has for you is for you. So what someone has a better hand, play the hand you were dealt because eventually they will play all of there spades then your little meager cards will trump theirs. Besides, you have a partner in the game that means you have help. The bible even says one can chase a thousand and two can put ten thousand to flight. So stop trying to be the Lone Ranger and tell someone I need you to survive.

Also know someone is holding the joker in spades. They will have the little joker or the big joker or sometimes they will have both, and because they have the joker doesn’t mean they know how to use them properly. Although, the joker is supreme in spades, if you misuse it you hurt yourself in the game.

It’s just like people who have the word inside of them, in front of them and on every radio station; they can have a little word or a lot of word but if they don’t know how to use the word then what good is it. God is all supreme in our lives and if we keep misusing him we will only hurt ourselves in the end because he said his spirit won’t contend with man always.

So, stop looking at the hand that other people were dealt and play the hand you’ve been dealt. You never know, you might just find out how resourceful you are, you might just find out that you can make something out of nothing when you put the word of God on it and in it.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

I Can’t Let Go

How many of us are in the season of, I can’t let go of past hurts or present pain? We are so focused on the hurt that we forget about the healer.

How many of us are in the season of, I can’t let go of the past failures or the present obstacles? We are so focused on the damage that we forget about the deliverer.

How many of us are in the season of, I can’t let go of the past love or the present reminder of them? We are so focused on the bozo that we forget God will send a Boaz or a Ruth.

Bottom line, we have to learn how to let go of anything that holds us back and takes our focus off of God. This will surely hinder our destiny.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

Scary Christians

Have you noticed the world wants us to be scary Christians? Have you also noticed some Christians choose to be scary Christians or closet Christians?

The world doesn’t want us to stand on the word of God or challenge them when they make these abominable laws or comments. We are supposed to shut up and be quiet. The world will try to say we don’t show love when we speak out against something or that Jesus wouldn’t say that or speak out because he’s a loving God.

Well the world is right about Jesus being a loving God and dead wrong about him not speaking out. He said he is the way, the truth, and the life no one comes to the Father but through the Son.

Don’t let the world guilt trip you into becoming a scary Christian. Before you got saved you were all big and bad and now that you are saved you want to tuck your head in between your legs and run. No way! The next time the world wants to make you scared tell them THE KINGDOM SUFFERETH VIOLENCE AND THE VIOLENT TAKE IT BY FORCE.

I’m The Boss

Are you the boss? Are you in a leadership position? Do you have the need to always let people know who you are?

I was talking to a lady on yesterday and she stated “Ms. Brown I didn’t realize you were that high on the food chain until I saw your signature block”. She said you don’t go around flexing the rank of your position, you talk to everyone. I thought about that for a while and had to thank God.

You see I keep praying Lord let this mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus. There was a time when I would have to let people know who I was but it doesn’t matter now. As long as I know who I am, God knows who I am and my paycheck reflects that I’m good. Jesus didn’t show up saying I’m the boss and you better do this or that.

No, he showed up humble and often times told people after he blessed them; see to it that you tell no one.

So if you are the boss or in a leadership position, you can be the boss without being bossy or throwing your position in someone else’s face.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.
