In two months I’ll be leaving my current job headed to a new job. My boss has not found a replacement for me yet and my position is a critical position. People keep asking me how are they going to survive without you? I quickly tell them I hope the next person does far more and far better than I’ve done. It took a lot to build the program God allowed me to build and I don’t want to see it destroyed, I want to see it made better. Jesus did great works while he was in the earth and he said greater works shall we do. If you think your job can’t survive without you, die. I promise you they will be just fine. So never get the big head and think the company rises and falls on you. I don’t care how good of an employee you are. We are all expendable, so have the right attitude when coming into the job and when leaving it. 

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing. 

I talk to so many people who complain about the amount of money they make on their job. Many tell me their job doesn’t make any money. So I ask them; do you work for free? If so, then you’re a volunteer, and how is it that you go and volunteer for eight or more hours a day when you can be looking for a job that pays money? This makes them mad when I ask them this question, but it needs to be said. So many people are looking for a job, and if you are blessed to have a job that gives you a paycheck and benefits why are you complaining? When you interviewed for the job they told you how much they pay, not only did you say ok; you begged God to give you the job. Now that you have the job, you thought by some miracle they would just increase the pay now that they’ve hired you. It doesn’t work that way. If you’re not happy with your job and it’s pay, quit. If you don’t quit or cannot afford to quit, stop complaining and be a better steward over the finances God has allowed you to receive. It’s not about how much money you make. It’s about how you spend the money that you make. Everyone wants to be prosperous. Being prosperous doesn’t mean being rich, it means having more money than bills. If you can lessen your bills and have more check than bills, then you’re prosperous.

The other day I watched my friends 4yr old son when he got out of school. My grandson who’s 5yrs old wanted to know why this little boy had to come to our house. After explaining to him that the boy’s mother had to work he was fine. However, once we got home and my grandson went into his daily routine of eating and then watching a program on tv, he soon became agitated. The little boy I was watching was pinging off the walls. He wouldn’t sit still for more than a few minutes at a time. My grandson looked at me and said; this is why I don’t like little kids. I replied to my grandson; you’re a little kid. He said yeah but I don’t act like that. He couldn’t wait for the little boy to leave. Many of us are like my grandson. If someone doesn’t act the way we want them to act, we want them out of our presence. We don’t want to have any dealings with them. We should be thankful that God is not like that. He welcomes us in his presence. He knows how we act and he still wants us around. People may not like you but God loves you.

I love to cook and I cook everyday but until two weeks ago I didn’t know how to bake. I set on the edge of my bed and I prayed; Lord teach me how to bake chocolate chip cookies. That same day, I went and bought all of the ingredients and followed a recipe I found, and the cookies came out like they were fresh from the bakery. Today, I made zucchini lemon bread from scratch and my kids and friends couldn’t get enough of it. When we pray we think we have to pray for big things. The bible says; cast all your cares upon me. Now that I’m able to bake I’m a double threat in the kitchen and to my waistline.

It’s only a matter of time before Jesus comes back or you die first. With the time that you have what are you going to do with it? Are you going to keep complaining about everything you don’t have or are you going to start getting your life right? Live everyday like Jesus is calling you home today and you won’t have time to complain. It’s really only a matter of time. 

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing. 

When we get back to the basic principles of following God we won’t fall for people’s schemes and ism’s. God taught us to fast and pray. He didn’t teach us to hold auctions in the church. Give me the 100, 500, 1000 dollar line. That’s foolishness from the pit of hell.  He didn’t tell us we need a miracle cloth or miracle water. He said fast and pray, and when you pray pray believing you will receive. Stop relying on the preacher to give you a word and get in the word for yourself. You don’t need a title for God to talk to you.

Do you stay with a man that beats you because he pays all of the bills, or do you leave and try to survive on your own? Do you shun your kids to be with a man that’s not their father, or do you let the man know you’re a package deal? Do leave a woman that continues to cheat on you and disrespect you, or do you stay because you have children together? Do you go to hell because you love sin so much, or do you decide enough is enough and it’s time to give your life to the Lord and gain eternal life? Only you can decide what choice to make. Make it count for good. 

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing. 

If you die and go to hell its your fault. While the blood is running warm in your veins seek the Lord while he may be found. Confess the Lord Jesus, believe in Jesus and live for Jesus. If you’re in church playing church; don’t go to hell by way of the church. If you want to go to hell go in style and live a great life of sin. If you think this is hell on earth, I dare you to die and go to hell, you have no idea what you’re in for. God is at the door of your heart knocking, why not let him in and gain eternal life.

“Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them. But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. (Matthew 25:1-4) 

Are our lamps prepared for us to meet the bridegroom? Do we consider ourselves to be like the wise virgins or the foolish virgins? Will we run out of praise for God before he calls us home, or shall his praise continually be in our mouth? Are we only going to bless the Lord and tell of his goodness when things are going well, or will we bless the Lord at all times, whether times are good, bad, happy, sad, disastrous, etc.? Do we acknowledge who God is when things are well in our lives, or do we wait for the midnight season in our lives to seek God? We have to stop living off other people’s oil and stop thinking that other people’s oil is going to get us to heaven; in other words, people can pray for us but they can’t pray us into heaven. We have to develop a personal relationship with the Master and run on to see what the end will be.

The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die. Jesus saith unto him, go thy way; thy son liveth. And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and he went his way.(John 4:49-50) When will we start taking God at his word? We see the nobleman didn’t question God; he just did as the Lord instructed him to do. We tend to want to get a second opinion about what God has told us to do, or as the church world calls it, confirmation. Many of us are going to miss out on what God has for us waiting on confirmation. We want God to give us a word, but when he gives us a word, we won’t act on it. Today, take action on the word that God has given you and quit looking for a cosigner of God’s word.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.
