You Got The Power

Yesterday I was in the store with my son and he was putting all of this stuff in the basket. Finally, he wanted some shoes that were expensive and I said no, they cost too much. Quickly, he responded, mom you got the power.
I began to laugh and said oh I got the power; he said, yes you do. He began to say mom you started from the bottom now where here.

He said you can no longer use the excuse that we don’t have the money because you do and he said it again, you got the power. I got everything he put in the basket but those shoes, because no matter how much power I have I’m going to use it wisely.

The fact that my son equated how much money we have with power made me think. Those of us that are saved, have Jesus Christ living on the inside of us, we really do got the power. But how do we use that power? Do we realize how much power we possess? Are we waiting on someone else to tell us we have the power?

The bible says life and death are in the power of the tongue. Power is useless if we never use it, and it’s dangerous if we use it recklessly.

I Knew You Would Do It

Have you ever did something for someone knowing what they would do with it, but you did it anyway?

Jesus died knowing we would lie, curse, cheat, steal, etc…But he didn’t say I shouldn’t do this for you because you won’t appreciate it. In fact, he said it’s not his will that none should perish.

We on the other hand, think about how much someone won’t appreciate what we are doing for them, and decide not to do it.

What if God said I’m not sending my son to die for y’all. To hell with you ungrateful people? Where would we be? We think the world is in turmoil now, just think of what it would be if Jesus didn’t die for us.

So instead of letting the enemy see us be so ungrateful, let him see us make a fool out of him. Make Jesus tell satan I knew my child would do it.

Jesus should be able to say, I knew my child would serve me in spite of.
I knew my child would praise me without money.
I knew my child didn’t need their names up in lights to worship me.
I knew that despite of everything my child is going through, they would keep the faith.

Surprise

How many of us like to be surprised? Surprises can be good or bad; but nonetheless they catch us off guard.

Sometimes, people ask us; what do you want for your birthday, and we reply I don’t know, surprise me. Well we are surprised when we get a jacked-up present or no present at all. And, sometimes they surprise us, because they go all out on the present they give us.

I’ve learned to pray, Lord please prepare my heart and my mind for what’s going to happen today and let nothing take me by surprise.

The biggest surprise of our lives will be, if we went to church every time the doors were opened but never repented and in hell we lift up our eyes. Surprise!

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

Solid Ground

Whenever we walk we just assume that we are walking on solid ground. We don’t know what’s going on underneath the ground, we just know that the top of the ground is solid.

In the Christian world, we just assume, that when we talk to other Christians or people in church that we are talking to people who are on solid ground. We assume, that these people have it going on in Christ. Because of this thought process, we begin to covet everything we see about them. Never once, did we check underneath their soil to figure out if they are imploding underneath, contaminated underneath, or if their foundation is shaky or sound.

We should never assume that we are always on solid ground or the people around us. We have to do a daily inventory of our lives and check our foundation on a regular basis. Being on solid ground doesn’t come over night; it takes time to construct, pave and settle. In other words, let God shape you, make you and mold you ; so that when he is finished you will be on solid ground.

He’s Done Enough

Why do we act like God better bend over backwards to please us or make us happy? Why do we act like, if God don’t get us out of our present situation then we won’t praise him?

Hasn’t he done enough? Wasn’t his suffering on the cross enough for us? We are so quick to tell other people what we have done for them and get mad when they don’t appreciate it. I wonder, how furious does God get with us when we don’t appreciate what he’s done for us.

The last time I checked, my family or my friends didn’t die for my sins. The last time I checked, my family or my friends didn’t get beat down for my sins? The last time I checked, my family or my friends didn’t guide the heart surgeon’s hand to make sure he did everything right.

You see, God has done more than enough and when you look back over your life and think things over, you know it wasn’t your family or friends; it wasn’t by power or might but by his spirit.

Stop complaining, stop being ungrateful, stop treating God like an ordinary man; and begin to thank him for all he’s done.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

You’re Too Late

I went to get my eyebrows arched but when I got to the store 15 minutes before closing time, the lady said you’re too late. I thought to myself, wow, I’m too late for you to take my money.

When our time is done down here on earth and God calls our number; it will be too late to repent, too late to give our life to God, too late to build a relationship with him; it will just be too late.

God is no going to be concerned with where you are in life. When your name is called up yonder, you will have no choice but to answer.

So, before it’s too late; repent, for the kingdom of God is at hand.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

Get Done

When you cook meat, do you take it our of the frying pan or oven before it’s done? Do you like half cooked meat? Half cooked meat can make you and it can literally kill you.

We need to liken ourself to meat. When God has us in the fire, he’s not going to allow us to come out until we are done. God knows, if we come out of the fire half done, we can become sick and we can die spiritually, literally or both.

Stop trying to get out of the fire before time. God has an appointed time when you will get done. He has a timer on your problems and situations. So stay in the fire, until God says; well done thou good and faithful servant.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

Different Perspective

It’s ok to look at things from a different perspective. Because you didn’t come up with the idea doesn’t mean it won’t work.

Many of us don’t want to look at things from another’s perspective because of pride. We don’t want anyone else getting credit for the work. If we learn to put our pride aside, we could do some bigger and better things collectively as a whole.

Either we can take someone else’s perspective or we can take God’s. God’s ways are not our ways and neither is his thoughts our thoughts. So you know he’s coming from a totally different perspective, and his perspective is the only one that matters.

So stop trying to get the glory because all of the glory belongs to God.

Be Aware

Do you ever start your day saying;Lord, I’m going to be aware of other people and their hurts today? Are you ever on the lookout to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ?

Sometimes, our sight can be so clouded, that we miss our opportunities too minister to someone else. We can be so caught up with laughing, shopping or thinking about our own problems; that we miss a hurting soul right in front of us.

Today, let’s make it a point to be aware. Be aware of someone else, be aware that someone needs us, be aware that our words could make or break someone.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

Why

How many of us have ever asked The Lord, why? Why does so many things have to happen? Or, why me Lord?
Have we ever asked the question, why not me Lord?

There is nothing wrong with asking God why; just be prepared for the answer that he gives you. Many people may tell you that you can’t question God, but if you never question God, how will you ever get answers from him.

God doesn’t always answer our questions,why, the way we expect him to. Sometimes, he just tells us; my grace is sufficient.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.
