THE WEEK MEDICINE

Meditation for the week: 'BE GRATEFUL"

When you’re grateful to God for the things He has done for you, be sure that greater miracles are on the way. Apart from showing gratitude to God, be grateful to those around you. Always say, thank you for what they do for you. It pays to be a grateful person. For example, one day in the bible, the Lord Jesus had an encounter with ten lepers. They cried out to Him to have mercy on them, and the Lord told them to go and show themselves to the… Continue

A THANKFUL HEART

One day an old dog fell down into a barren well. The animal cried aloud. Its owner heard the cry but decided to abandon the dog, as it was very old and sick. The well was useless and so he decided to fill it with mud and bury the dog alive. His children and some workers came to his help. They began to shovel dirt into the well.

When each shovelful of dirt fell on his back, the dog would shake it off and take a step up. They continued to shovel dirt on top of the dog at maximum speed. But… Continue

NEVER FORGET JESUS IN THIS 2010

"Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest."

Luke 10: 2

King James Version

Many years ago I felt the call to missions and I told my pastor. He said there was an opening in the Missions Service Corps. He told me I would have to raise my own support so I went from church to church in our association speaking on missions and I raised my… Continue

Cave Babies

My friend told me how his daughter, little one-year-old, Tessa, was demanding to have the remote control for the television. He said she reminded him of a cave man, or perhaps a cave baby in this case, because of the way she was acting. She kept reaching and screaming for the remote. On a whim, my friend decided to give it to her and see just what she would do with it. Upon finally receiving the prized remote, she pushed the buttons over and over but nothing happened. She tried screaming at it… Continue

Missionary Recruit

A new missionary recruit went to Venezuela for the first time.

He was struggling with the language and didn't understand a

whole lot of what was going on. Intending to visit one of the

local churches, he got lost, but eventually got back on track

and found the place. Having arrived late, the church was

already packed. The only pew with a seat open was the one

on the front row.

So as not to make a fool of himself, this… Continue

How Rich Are We?

One day a father and his rich family took his son on a trip to the country with the firm purpose to show him how poor people can be.

They spent a day and a night on the farm of a very poor family. When they got back from their trip, the father asked his son, "How was the trip?"

"Very good Dad!"

"Did you see how poor people can be?" the father asked.

"Yeah!"

"And what did you learn?"

The son answered, "I saw that we have a dog at… Continue

True Servant in the Kingdom of God; preparing the earth for the return of the Bridegroom

I am writing this message for all honest seeking men and women of God who feel the call to serve the Lord Jesus Christ as a True Servant in the Kingdom of God; preparing the earth for the return of the Bridegroom.

“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… Continue

Ecclesiastes 9:11

Unhealthy rivalry and competition will end if you and I, husbands and wives, colleagues, friends and pastors understand that 'the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither bread to the wise, nor riches to men of understanding, nor favor to men of skill but Time AND CHANCE HAPPENS TO ALL'! Ecclesiastes 9:11

STRONG FAITH

Bless the Lord, oh my soul and let all that is within me, bless His holy name!!

Meditation for the week: "STRONG FAITH"

"And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of sarah’s womb: He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God" (Romans 4:19-20)

Strong faith is unyielding in the face of negative situations. Strong… Continue

The Cracked Pot

A water bearer in India had two large pots, one hung on each end of a pole which, he carried across his neck. One of the pots had a crack in it, but the other pot was perfect, and always delivered a full portion of water at the end of the long walk from the stream to the master's house, while the cracked pot arrived only half full.

For a full two years this went on daily, with the bearer delivering only one and a half pots full of water to his master's house. Of course, the perfect… Continue

Holding Hands

My sons and I decided to go walking around the lake near our home the other day. It is such a glorious place to spend an afternoon in the Springtime when the leaves are coming out on the trees and the flowers are coming up through the ground. It has a well worn gravel path that circles the entire lake. You can walk at your own pace and delight in all the natural beauty that surrounds you. It is the perfect place to get back in touch with God and to fill your soul with joy.

The only… Continue

And the devil said

One day, the devil was caught up on his paperwork and didn't have very much to do. So he decided to walk around the Earth and check on the progress his minions were making corrupting mankind. He decided to pick a nice suburban neighborhood to eavesdrop on the thoughts running through people's minds. His first house was a white Cape Cod, where he heard the voice of a woman say, "That idiot is such a dip. I think if he tried to make Kool Aid he would surely burn the water! I hate him, I hate him,… Continue

"COME LET US RESON TOGETHER SAYS THE LORD" LET US TKE OUR IFFICULTIES TO THE LORD TOGETHER IN ONE

"And He shew me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal , proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. In the midst of the street of it, on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree was for the healing of the nations. And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve Him".(Rev. 21:1-3)

Paths to Ponder

Can you imagine living in the desert for a whole year, observing the activity of a mound of busy fire ants? Deborah Gordon of The Santa Fe Institute did exactly that, and discovered four main groups of workers: cleaners, haulers, gatherers, and security ants. Each category consisted of an ever-moving line of ants marching in cadence toward a specific goal.

Cleaners carried debris from inside the nest, to a dumping ground. Hauler ants circled the top of the mound, clearing clutter… Continue

THE STORY OF SOUL

There once was a man named Soul who was walking in a garden. He was whistling a real sweet tune for he was saved and had the joy of the Lord, but he was a baby Christian. As Soul was walking, a beautiful and seductive woman came out from behind a tree. Soul was very startled. He said, "Hello, I'm Soul, what is your name?"

She replied, "I am Temptation, I have what you want."

"What do I want?" replied Soul.

"You want to do all things which are of the flesh," said… Continue

The Little Grape Stem

Once upon a time there was a little grape stem. This stem was so glad to be alive... She drank water and minerals from the soil and grew and grew. She was young and strong and could manage quite well... all by Herself -- or so she thought.

But then, the wind was cruel, the rain was harsh, the snow was not one bit understanding, and the little grape stem suffered. She drooped, weak and suffering.

It would be so easy to stop trying to grow, to stop trying to live. The grape… Continue

Sleeping Through The Storm

Years ago a farmer owned land along the Atlantic seacoast. He constantly advertised for hired hands. Most people were reluctant to work on farms along the Atlantic. They dreaded the awful storms that raged across the Atlantic, wreaking havoc on the buildings and crops.

As the farmer interviewed applicants for the job, he received a steady stream of refusals. Finally, a short, thin man, well past middle age, approached the farmer. "Are you a good farmhand?" the farmer asked him.… Continue
