Love

Love is an action word. When someone says I love you, there needs to be some action behind it. When Jesus said he loves us he died for us. Now that’s love.

Nowadays, when people say they love us; it comes with drama and headaches. That’s not love, that’s foolishness. To love someone means you take the bitter with the sweet. Never mind how they act, because you haven’t always been on your best behavior either. However, you love them unconditionally. I’m not saying you have to agree with everything they do, but you need to be there to pick them up when they fall, applaud them when they do good, know who they are when they fail, and share with them when they succeed.

We throw the word love around unconsciously, and don’t understand why people don’t believe us when we say it. It’s because our mouths say one thing and our actions say another. Stop telling people you love them if all you’re willing to bring to them is drama and foolishness. But if you’re willing to stick by them no matter what, then tell them I love you. I love you to life. I love you with agape love. I won’t do anything to harm you. I won’t always agree with you, but know I will always love you.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

God Said He Wouldn’t Do It

God said he’ll never leave you nor forsake you
He said he won’t put more on you than you can bear
He said he is not a man that he should lie or repent
He said no weapon formed against you shall prosper
God said he will not be mocked
He said he won’t flood the earth again, next time it will be fire
God said he would let the enemy touch your things, family, friends and finances, but he won’t let the enemy touch your life

Today, take God at his word. Listen to him tell you what he will and what he won’t do in your life.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

Why Not You

You applaud everyone else. You support everyone else’s success. So why don’t you feel like you deserve success of your own? Why don’t you feel like you don’t deserve to be blessed? Time and chance happens to us all. And maybe just maybe it’s your time now.

So, when God tells you now is the time for you to be blessed, you don’t need confirmation or a second opinion. When God tells you he’s moving you from the back to the front, you don’t need confirmation or a second opinion. When God tells you he’s been hiding you, and now it’s time to present you as his own, you don’t need confirmation or a second opinion. Quit seeking confirmation! You will miss your time, chance and blessing.

Think about the slap in the face you give God, when you don’t take him at his word the first time he says something. What more does he have to do to let you know he’s only looking out for you? You know you hear God telling you, NOW is your time. NOW I’ve called you forth. Let go of your fears and insecurities, and step out on the word of God.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

You Don’t Even Know It

While you’re trying to figure it out, God has already worked it out, and you don’t even know it. You don’t know it because you’re too busy worrying, murmuring and complaining.

Have you ever stopped to think that everything that happens to you is a test? Whether it’s your marriage, children, job, finances, friends, the church etc…but you don’t even know it because you’re too busy listening to everyone else, instead if listening to God.

Did you know you only prolong the test with doubt and disobedience? Did you know the answers never change to the test? Did you know that no one can really give you the answers you’re looking for, you have to find it in the book?

No, you didn’t know it. Realize God has all the time in the world, but you don’t. You don’t have time to doubt, waste, or play. Instead of worrying about your situation, turn it over to God and pray only his word back to him, then stand back and watch him perform his word.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

Ministry

Many people think being in ministry is just being called to preach. There are so many people in church who have ministry locked up inside of them. Ministry could be feeding the homeless, intercessory prayer warrior, working with the youth, blogging, whatever God called you to do, etc…

Never discount yourself in the church if you are not a leader or if you do a job that keeps you in the background. Honestly, the higher you go in ministry, the more the church expects you to pay monetary; especially when it comes to conferences and annual board meetings, etc… People don’t tell you that. Your goal shouldn’t be trying to be a celebrity in church, it should be wanting to be a servant. We always like to say; what would Jesus do? Well, the bible clearly tells us he was a servant and not a celebrity. As a matter of fact, when Jesus performed miracles he usually told the person, see to it that you tell no one.

Now a days, we get pissed off if no one gives us credit in church for doing something we say God called us to. And in return, we become cancer in the church and start chaos over nothing. Before you except your call to ministry, in whatever capacity it is, count up the cost. Ask yourself, are you able to except your name not being called? Are you able to accept rebuke and reproof from the pastor? Are you prepared for your fellow laborers in the gospel to talk about you, lie on you and not like you? Are you going to complain every time they assess a fee for this or that all in the name ministry? If you can yes, then welcome to ministry. If this is a hard pill to swallow, talk to God about it before you tell him ministry is too much to handle and that he needs to call someone else.

Believe In Yourself

Stop looking for someone to affirm you and affirm yourself. You must first believe in yourself. If God gave you a dream or placed a desire inside of you, don’t look for anyone to confirm it.

What will happen if the person you’re looking to affirm you and confirm the word of God, doesn’t agree with your dream or desire? Then what? Will you give up on your dreams and desires? Will you stop believing in yourself because of someone else’s opinion?

Don’t forfeit your blessing caring about what someone else think. Don’t give anyone that much power over you, that you trust their word over God’s word. Sometimes you have to look in the mirror and tell yourself; I am fearfully and wonderfully made. I can do all things through Christ that strengthen me.

Believe in yourself.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

Did God Ask For Your Help

When was the last time you had a problem and God couldn’t solve it? Did he gather his angels Gabriel and Michael together to consult with them? Once they couldn’t come up with anything, did he finally reach out to you and say HELP, I can’t solve your problem, I need you to HELP me? Did you start worrying when he called?

The truth of the matter is, God doesn’t need our help and we started worrying when we started praying to him about the situation. We say we trust God, but if we really be honest with ourselves we only trust him in certain areas of our life. We trust him to give us the job, but we don’t trust him to make us the CEO. We trust him to get over the sickness, but we don’t trust him to do a complete healing and make us whole. The other day I met God at our normal meeting place and he told me; do not pray to me about it if you’re going to worry about it. In other words, if I wasn’t going to leave it in his hands, I should never give it to him in the first place.

Will you trust God? I mean with everything that’s going on in your life. They sing a song in church that says; I will trust in the Lord until I die. Are we just singing it or do we really mean it? Keep saying I trust you Lord until your spirit agrees. It’s alright to look at the facts of your situation, but you got to know the truth. Fact is, your marriage is not the best, but the truth is what God has put together let no man put asunder. Fact is, the doctor did give a bad report, but the truth is by his stripes I’m healed. Fact is, I am not qualified for the job, but the truth is God will open a door that no man can shut.

Stand still and see the salvation of God. This battle you’re going through it’s not yours it’s the Lord’s and the last time I checked, he doesn’t lose battles or wars.

I’m Called But I’m Crippled

When God calls you to do a work for him, he already knows what condition your life is in. He knows what cripples you. He knows all of your bad habits, all of your vices and yet he still calls you.

When you hear the call of God, don’t give him any excuses why he shouldn’t use you. He’s not looking to use anyone that’s perfect. When you read the bible you find that everyone he used was jacked up in one way or another. And, these very people became mighty in the Lord; although, they had issues that crippled them.

Think of it this way, you still go to church and you are crippled. You still go to work and you are crippled. You still hangout and you are crippled. So why can’t you be used by God and be crippled? It’s because you’ve allowed the enemy and church folk to tell you you’re not worthy and you believed them.

Walk in the calling that God called you to and don’t listen to what the people say.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

It Doesn’t Matter What You’ve Done

Stop letting people hold stuff over your head. If God doesn’t hold it over your head then you have nothing to worry about. There are so many lost souls that won’t even step a foot into the church, because of hypocritical Christians who think they have a monopoly on salvation.

These Christians think they know the mind of God, and act like they are his spokesperson and final authority on who can and cannot be blessed, saved, healed and delivered. The bible says; whosever will let them come. That means: the whore, the liar, the pimp, the drug dealer, you, me, our kids, etc… God don’t care what we’ve done. It’s not his will that any of us perish.
However, it may be the will of that sister or brother in the church jumping and shouting all over place.

The bible also says agree with your adversary quickly. So the next time those hypocritical Christians come telling you about yourself, say yeah you’re right. I lie, cheat, steal, etc…at least I have the integrity to admit my sin. Unlike you on the other hand, deceiving yourself thinking you are without sin. Please, don’t let these people keep you out of church or keep you from getting to God. Everybody in the church does not act like this. There are some real people in the church that will tell you that we fall down and get back up. That some days you will give into temptation, that some days you will disappoint God and be disobedient, that some days you are going to want to walk away from the church and God, because of what you’re going through and the pain seems too much to bear. And it’s in those times that you have to cry out to God even more.

So, forget about what you’ve done, and focus on what you’re going to do for the kingdom of God.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

That Ain’t You

Today I was talking with my son and he began talking about how he has to stay in school for hours with people he don’t like. I immediately said, that ain’t you, stop acting like your sisters. Your sisters talk like that, but you have never talked like that or acted like that. He asked, why can’t I act like them? I repeated myself and said because that ain’t you. You are a people person, you get along with everyone.

How many of us look at other people’s behavior and decide we are going to act like them? We see it all the time with the sagging pants, with females calling each other out of their names, and they answer to it and think it’s cute. We see it with the latest fashion or fad. We see it with the drug dealers, hustlers, baby momma’s, rappers etc…

So, how is it, that we are quick to emulate those people? But, when we see Jesus behavior, we don’t want to emulate his behavior. We say; that ain’t me. The spirit and the flesh war against each other and if you don’t put the flesh under subjection, then it will always overrule the spirit. The bible says; no good thing dwells in the flesh. So, no matter how sanctified we are, no good thing dwells in our flesh. No matter how much bible we can quote, no good thing dwells in the flesh. If we are not careful, we will pickup other people’s behavior, and then they will be telling us, don’t act like that because that ain’t you.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.
