What is your gift doing for you?

Proverbs 18:16

"A man's gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men".

Listen carefully, the bible is still right and right all by itself.

Webster's dictionary says that a Gift is a present, something given to someone by another; something given voluntarily without payment in return.

The gift, whether given or received will make room for you and bring you before great men. Let's look at it in the natural, first.

Remain Focused!!!!

Matthew 14 records Peter's walk on the water to get to Jesus. In the beginning he had enough faith to get out of the boat to go to Jesus and walk on the water. In the midst of walking on the water the wind blew hard and got him off focus on what Jesus had called him to do and that was come to him. Men and women of God, in this season it is imperative to continue to keep our eyes focused on what and where God has called us. Among all of the disciples Peter could have had the greatest testimony… Continue

Breakfast with the Bishop

S.M.A.R.T the New Year!

"The righteous keep moving forward...and...become stronger."

Job 17:9 NLT

Whoever said, "Procrastination is the thief of time," was right. We keep postponing, promising ourselves we'll do better. Be honest, how many of last year's resolutions did you keep? This year do things differently. Make your goals S.M.A.R.T. In other words, make them:

(S)pecific: Get up 20 minutes earlier in order to read your Bible and pray before going to work. Not work… Continue

When Someone In Your Congregation Says "I'm Gay"

Things to Remember

1. No one is born gay, and no one chooses to be gay. Because of relational brokenness in families and among peers, some people experience emotional needs that they try to meet in ungodly ways. Many of them are uncomfortable with their own gender; later, they discover they are attracted to others of the same sex, but this is not their choice. Acting on it, however,… Continue

Something to ponder...

Thought for the day...

Love Cast out all fear.

it suffers long, and is unconditional.

Can you Love someone in faith, inspite of their imperfections and idiosyncrecies? Can you love them through their flaws / errors. Can you speak into them, bring out the best in them. Can you speak life into their dormant areas? How positive can you be in someones life? Can you make a difference? Can you make a negative… Continue

I Went Fishing, Caught Some Fish, Now What Do I Do?

This new world called "Online Social Network" is still a novelty for some if not most of us over 50. We join social network sites that we feel we can relate to, and go to great pains to set up our profile page so that it reflects who we are.

I don't know about you all, but for me, I was really nervous at first, about clicking on other people profile pictures and requesting their friendship. I really didn't know what to expect. So here it is a year later, and I have memberships on… Continue

Jesus Is The Reason For the Season?

For years and years we've preached and did everything short of forcing a message downs people's throat, that Jesus is the reason for the season. But I think God wanted to see if we truly meant that. Come on I know that all of us wasnt born with a silver spoon in mour mouth or what we call the right side of the tracks but we can still consider ourselves blessed. I heard someone quote that this was the year of collapse. With the crash of most of the major finicial institutions, the high gas… Continue
