The Right Direction

Traveling the train system in the country that I live in can be a bit tricky. You can’t always go by the signs, you have to also go by the different train lines. It’s very easy to get turned around, and you will be going the wrong direction if you’re not careful.

Do you know what direction your life is going in? Is it the direction God wants you to go, or is it going in the direction you want to go?

You know your life is going in the direction that God wants, when you are faced with obstacles, haters, and all hell is breaking loose. You know your life is going in the direction you want it to go, when everyone likes you, you compromise here and there, and the enemy is not trying to stop you.

If you’re not going in the right direction, stop, pump the breaks and turn around. Stop wasting time and energy going nowhere fast. And start gaining time doing what you were created to do.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

Baller

Growing up the term “Baller” had two meanings. The first meaning was somebody was very good at playing basketball, and and their skills were going to get them out of the hood. The second meaning meant, you had money, a dope car, a loud sound system, but you didn’t have a legal job.

Unlike the world, Jesus is a baller in his own right. In fact he’s the ultimate baller. He has cattle on a thousand hills. He gives all his children a mansion. Where he lives, his streets are solid gold. Literally, the world is his. He has all the power. When demons raise up, he has a legion of angels at his disposal to handle them. When he’s on the scene, the whole neighborhood gets fed and they don’t have to wait for thanksgiving. He has a way of making mean, evil people bless you when they don’t want to. He knows how to move a crowd. When Jesus steps into a building, everybody hands go up and they stay there. Can you say BALLER.

He does all of this legally. He makes no secret about who he is and what he can do. And the good thing is, he adopted us. Therefore, we are entitled to some of the things he has. It’s just like I have good job, and because my children belong to me; they are entitled to some of the benefits my good job provide.

So, the next time you see a wanna be baller. Tell them to take a look at a real baller.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

I’m On The Verge

Has so many things come at you at one time, and you think to yourself I’m on the verge and if one more thing happens I’m going to snap? Have you ever been so on the verge that you even scared yourself.?

Christians don’t like to admit that they get on the verge and that they be ready to set it off. However, their actions speak volumes. They lose their witness daily because they develop the “can’t help its”. You know, they can’t help it that they cursed you out. Besides, you should’ve never said what you said to them in the first place. They can’t help that they lied to you. Besides, why do you keep asking questions you really don’t want real answers to anyway. They can’t help that life has dealt them a bad hand. Besides, they never take advantage of any opportunity that comes their way, always looking for the next best thing.

If we are truthful and honest with ourselves, we can honestly say that; we’ve helped ourselves be on the verge. The enemy didn’t do it. We did him a favor this time, and helped in our on demise. And, instead of recognizing it for what it is; we divert the blame to something or someone else.

You want to stop being on the verge, look at the man in the mirror and become like Isaiah when he said; woe it’s me for I am undone. Become undone with yourself then be honest with yourself. You will find that being on the verge is not where it’s at. Then you will be ready to have your feet planted on solid ground and shod with the preparation of the gospel.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

I Had It Coming

No one likes to admit that they are wrong or that they messed up. In fact, we will try to cover it up before we let someone fine out that we don’t know it all, or have it altogether. When we get called on it, we know we had it coming.

It’s the same thing with sin. We keep sinning and when God says; enough is enough then allows calamity to come on us; we know we had it coming. However, we try to act like we didn’t do anything that bad to warrant God’s punishment on us. The bible says; be ye holy, therefore I am holy. Holiness without shall no man see the Lord. The problem is, we keep saying I’m not happy and being saved is no fun.

God never called us to happiness, nor do we see the word fun nowhere in the bible. God called us to holiness and if we live holy, he will ensure that we have some happiness. Truth be told, it’s our flesh warring against our spirit, and when we let our flesh override our spirit, whatever God does to us, we had it coming.

An open rebuke is better than a secret love. Look at it this way; I’d rather God rebuke me now and I make it into heaven, than God let me keep getting by and I bust hell wide open. If you die and go to hell it’s nobody’s fought but yours and you had it coming.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

Where Art Thou

In the book of Genesis God asked Adam and Eve where art thou, when they where hiding, because they were naked.

Has God had to come looking for you? Has he had to ask you, where are thou in your praise & worship? Where art thou in your giving? Where art thou in your unconditional love?

God should never have to ask us where art thou like he did Adam and Eve. Instead, he should be able to brag on us like he did Job. He should be able to say; have you considered my servant. My servant will praise me in-spite of. My servant will give in-spite of. My servant will love in-spite of. I don’t have to look for my servant, I know where they’re at.

Do you know where you are at? Where art thou.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

Fax

Have you ever faxed something to somebody, and you either got a message that said; fax completed, ok, failed or try again? When you got the message completed or ok you were happy, but when you got the message failed or try again you got upset. Perhaps you even had to go and pay to get your documents faxed and it still didn’t go through but you had to pay anyway.

Sometimes, our prayers are like the fax we try to send. Sometimes, the Lord says; got it, complete, working on it as we speak. Other times, the Lord says; failed, come again, wait and bad connection.

When this happens, we get the woe it’s me syndrome. We never stop to think if we’ve prayed in Jesus name. If we’ve prayed with unbelief in our hearts. If we’ve prayed with an ought still in our hearts against our sister or brother. If we’ve asked amiss. If we’ve prayed with ulterior motives in our hear. None of this comes to mind. So we start calling on God asking him did he receive our prayers. You know how when you fax something and you call the person and let them know you’ve faxed it. And they say let me check the machine. God is saying, I haven’t received your prayer, it didn’t get pass the ceiling, it bounced back down. Resend it.

The problem is, we treat our prayers like a fax. Not realizing that unlike a fax, Jesus knows who’s on the other side of the prayer. He knows us inside and out, and he’s just not going to let anything get to God. Just like we got to put the paper in the fax machine to send it; we have to put our prayers through Jesus to get to God.

So, the next time we go to pray; we need to remember if our hearts are not right, the prayer is going nowhere.

Check your fax.

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.
