I Still Have Joy!
First of all, as we prepare to end this year and enter into new year; prepare for change in our country's leadership, I am excted, I STILL HAVE JOY! This 2008 year has brought about some obstacles and i've had some mountains. But on the flip side I have been blessed beyond measures. We learn from our past experiences and press on and keep working for the Lord.
I am thankful for so many Bishops, Apostles, Preachers, Ministers, Brothers & Sisters etc. who have become friends personally and with me in ministry. Your calls, e-mails etc. have been such an inspiration for me as I journey along this Christian Path. Spreading the good news of Jesus Christ.
As I have stated many times before, my life has not been filled with roses; for I too have had some sunshine and rain, but inspite of it all I STILL HAVE JOY! There have been so many who times that I could have given up and just through in the towel, but I know; "For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us."(Ref. Romans 8:18-39).
I stand today as a man of God who is not here to be made a millionaire, but I am here to be made a vessel for Christ, to tell my testimony of being saved byt God, when i was wasn't fit to live, and not prepared to die, how his grace and mercy has kept me safe. This year I have been prophesied to time and time again, and these men and women of God reverberated the same prophecies. But in order for them to be fulfilled I would have to be obedient to God continuously.
Therefore i have made some changes and preparing to make some changes. First of all, I returned to my home church officially Sunday November 30, 2008 where God first spoke to me and called me into the ministry almost 10 years ago which I will be celebraing in January. My pastor and big brother has been an encouraging force to be me here locally along with all of my church family. Its no secret that when he first became our pastor five years ago we did not see eye to eye neither did I want to follow his style of leadership. But being the national President & CEO of an organization I have learned in order to lead you have to be willing to be taught and follow. Thats exactly what I am doing being obedient my God.
Second, I have to get rid of some people and things out of my life who are not willing to make changes and become better people in Christ Jesus. NO, I am not just cutting people to be mean, but I will not jeopardize my blessings and prophecies coming to pass for anyone regardless of how close we might be. CHRIST IS COMING BACK SOON AND WE MUST BE READY FOR HIS RETURN. "I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. (Ref. John 9:4)
Third, I must remain steadfast and unmoveable. Something that I am striving to change is my mouth, I have one of the worst tempers in the world. I have toned done alot from this time 3 years ago. I get frustrated easily, and tend to go off. So I have taken steps in order to control my anger lower my risk of having a massive stroke.
Writing is an outlet i use to release stress that may have built up inside. So be on the look out for my first book coming soon to book stores near you in 2009.
Feel free to comment God bless!
