Don’t Give Up

As we enter into the last month of the year, some of us have realized we haven’t got all that’s due us. Don’t give up. God don’t need thirty days to bless you. He can do it suddenly, so don’t give up.

Keep praying and fasting and reminding God of his word. God has to respond to his word. God’s word won’t go out and return unto him void. It will accomplish what he said it will do.

You’ve been praying for your child to get saved, don’t give up. You’ve been praying for your spouse, don’t give up. You’ve been praying about work, don’t give up. You’ve been praying about the church, don’t give up.

Expect the great for the rest of this year. It ain’t over until the clock strikes midnight on December 31st. Don’t give up on God. You’ve trusted him for 11 months this year, why not trust him for one more month.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

I Almost Let Go

Has God made a specific promise to you, but do to circumstances you think God’s promise won’t come to past?

Don’t let go of his promise to you. God is not a man that he should lie or repent. Stop looking at other people and what’s going on with them, and continue to look to God; the author and finisher of your faith.

Your promise is coming so hold on and don’t let go. Don’t give up, don’t give in and don’t give out. Jeremiah almost let go. Jonah almost let go. David almost let go. But they remembered the promises of God is yes and amen.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

Restoration

Have you messed up so bad, that people think and say that you will never amount to nothing? Have you ever seen an old beat up car and after many months of hard work, it comes out looking brand new?

That’s what God is going to do for you. After months and months of working on you, he’s going to bring you forth as pure gold. People are going to say you’re acting brand new. Just tell them you’ve been restored. Tell them God had you on the potters wheel and he was shaping you, making you, and molding you.

Once you’ve been restored don’t apologize for it, and don’t go back to what God delivered you from. So what if people keep bringing up your past. The bible says; agree with your adversary quickly, then keep it moving.

Besides, restoration feels a whole lot better than condemnation.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

Thanksgiving

This is the day that everyone in America pauses to say what they’re thankful for, then commit sin. We willfully sin on this day by becoming gluttons. I know we never thought of this day as a national day of sin because we disguise it as a feast.

To atone for our sin we feed the homeless and the less fortunate. We act like this is the only day that they need something to eat. Tomorrow, we will push and fight our way through crowds and beg the cashier to take our hard earned money. Then we will brag about how much money we saved. We would save a whole lot more if we didn’t spend it at all.

Sadly, thanksgiving has become less about family and Christ, and more about food and shopping. Today, did we truly wake up with our minds on Jesus or did we wake up with our minds on cooking?

If we didn’t have all the food, would we be thankful? If we didn’t have the money to spend tomorrow , would we be thankful? Truth be told, someone is about to spend their rent money, sale their food stamps, spend their light bill money, charge up their credit cards, go into overdraft, etc…and for what? To say you caught a sale. But rest assure they are going to pay their cell phone bill, they have to have something and someone to talk about.

And this is Thanksgiving.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

It Can Be Overwhelming

Dealing with yourself is not always the easiest thing to do. In fact, many of us keep a lot of people around just so we don’t have to deal with ourselves. What do you do when you come face-to-face with your failures, successes, ups, downs, highs, lows, past and present? Looking over your own life can be overwhelming.

It can be so overwhelming, that you can be holding a conversation and not hear a word the other person has said. You can be looking at someone and don’t see a thing. You can go somewhere, and don’t realize how you got there. Situations and life have a way to make us look at ourselves and say; woe it’s me!

It’s me that starts the gossip. It’s me that spread lies in the church. It’s me that’s a liar, a fornicator, a whoremonger, a thief, a cheater; it’s me oh Lord! It takes us to become overwhelmed, so that we know it’s nobody but Jesus that lifted the heavy burdens. It’s nobody but Jesus that brought us out. It’s nobody but Jesus that snatched us out of hell’s grip.

When you think about it, it can be overwhelming.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

Watch What You Say

Lately, I’ve been telling my kids they get on my nerves. Although this is true, it’s not always the best thing to tell them. They haven’t really done anything bad. It’s just when I’ve had a long day, I’m tired, I just want to cook dinner and go to bed; they start arguing or cutting each other down and that gets on my nerve.

Because I say things out of anger, I never really know what damage is being done. How will this affect them later on. What I should do is calm down, and later on when we’re laughing explain to them what I don’t like about their behavior towards each other. The bible says be angry but sin not. It also says; a soft answer turns away wrath. Well I have failed at both. However, I’m working on it.

I wonder how much do I get on God’s nerves. Some of you may say he’s all loving, but in the book of Revelations he told the church, that church folk make him sick, they make him want to vomit. My God! Our behavior makes God sick, so before I tell my kids they get on my nerves again, I’m going to draw them with love and kindness.

Besides, there’s some mother out there who wishes she had kids to get on her nerves. There’s some parent out there who had to bury their child. I’ve purposed in my heart I’m going to watch what I say to my kids no matter what. And, thank God he gave me a revelation of how I make him feel at times. The bible says blessings and cursing should not come out of the same mouth. We curse our own kids when we don’t speak life into them. We curse our own kids when we don’t speak the promises of God in them. Church is not the place for them to start hearing it, home is. My kids are my first ministry and if I fail at that, then what the purpose of the rest.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

Don’t Think

Don’t think because Jesus is all loving that he won’t chastise you. Don’t think that once saved is always saved. Don’t think because you gave your like to Jesus, you are on easy street now. Don’t think because you are a Christian, everyone is going to like you now.

Because we do think like this, we become easily offended in the house of God. The are a lot of Christians walking around with OCD Offended Christian Disorder. They’re offended because people don’t like them. News flash, a whole lot of Christians weren’t liked in the bible. They’re offended because they’re still struggling. They heard too many sermons about Jesus paying bills, and not enough sermons about being a good steward over the money Jesus gives them. They’re offended because Jesus didn’t stand idly by and allow them to continue in sin. When he said come from amongst them, that’s what he meant and since they didn’t listen; he showed them better than he told them.

There’s no need in being offended and wearing your feelings on your sleeve. REPENT! And, ask God to show you the way. To help you be delivered from people. To help you to stop being a thief and a liar by not paying your tithes and lying to get benefits. To help you trust in him. This time don’t think, just do.

Do what’s right in the sight of the Lord. Do right by people whether or not they like you. Do edify your sister and your brother. And whatever you do, do it as unto the Lord.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

Check Your Motives

Why do you do what you do? Is it to please God or man? Is it to take someone else’s position? Is it to get your name in lights? Are you a servant or a celebrity? What are your real motives and intentions?

People hating on each other didn’t start in the 21st century, it started in the bible days. Although , we may hate to admit it, we have hated on people ourselves. For whatever reason, we have wished for someone’s demise. Now that we are in Christ Jesus, do we still hate on other people? Have our motives changed? Do we do what we do just to please God?

It’s alright to be happy for someone else’s success. It’s alright to help push someone else into their destiny. It’s alright to be a cheerleader on the sidelines, when you’re not center stage. However, it’s not alright for you to sit secretly and wish for someone else’s demise. It’s not alright, for you to assist the enemy in helping bring another Christian down. It’s not alright for you to praise God on Sunday morning, and start plotting, scheming, and being deceitful Sunday afternoon.

Only you and God know what your true motives are. If your motives are not pleasing to God, check them and change them, before he uncovers them. For the bible says, an open rebuke is better than a secret love.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

Sing Unto The Lord

Today, I took my grandson to get a haircut. Everything was going as planned, people were talking and I was watching the game on tv. All of a sudden, my grandson just started singing very loud, Lord you’re holy. I’m on the praise dance team and we’ve danced to this song and he fell in love with the song. So every now and then he will sing it when it comes to mind.

He didn’t care that we were in the barbershop, he sung that song until his soul was satisfied. Then he started talking back to his barber like nothing happened. How many of us will sing unto the Lord at any given point? No matter where we’re at, if the spirit moves us to sing until our souls are satisfied, will we? While he was singing, I never once told him to be quiet or told him to lower it down because we were in the barbershop. I was use to him doing it at home and this was the first time he did it in public.

Once again, my grandson made the scriptures come alive. God said if you be ashamed of me I’ll be ashamed of you. Well, we don’t have that problem over here in this household. Even if I wanted to be a closet Christian, my grandson would let the cat out of the bag. Now more than ever, the world needs to hear our song. So sing unto the Lord; not only until your soul is satisfied but until God is satisfied and says well done my good and faithful servant.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

It Doesn’t Matter

Why keep dwelling on the past? It doesn’t matter, you can’t change anything about it. Why keep wondering what could’ve, should’ve been? It doesn’t matter now, the time is passed away.

We tend to worry about stuff we have no control over. We’ve become so comfortable living in the past, that we are afraid of what the present and future hold. Does it really matter that you’ve sinned, or does it matter that you’ve repented? Does it really matter that you’ve failed, or does it matter that you’ve gotten back up? Does it really matter that they keep talking about you, or does it matter that you’re letting your light shine before men, that your father in heaven will be glorified?

You need to determine what really matters to you and don’t worry about the rest. And, when people try to bring up your past and your failures; let them know, it really doesn’t matter.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.
