Set Aside For the Master's Use

Recently as I was meditating I was asking God how is it that so many are professing salvation and it seems that not many are embracing the principles of Godly living. Let me disclaim here, because I realize that all of us have our personal struggles and I am not speaking about that. It just seems to me that believers are comfortable living in sin (openly - the old folks used to call it shacking), comfortable doing certain things that are contrary to the word of God and although no one wants…

Watch God

Take your places; stand quietly and see the incredible rescue operation God will perform for you....2 Chron. 20:17

Position and action, that is two of the most important things we can do in this walk. We must first be in position, are we where the mantle can fall on us when it is released to take us to our next phase of this walk with Christ? What are we doing when we get there? Are we in the way and blocking the work that God wants to perform are…

Let the Church Be The Church!

In todays society we have alot of/ to many people who are so in love with/ have knew revelatoins for us from God. Now the Church is being asked about it's relevance. The disturbing thing about this is that the Question is being asked by church attendees/ the worldly folks. In all my days i honestly have not heard such blasphemy from inside the body as i do today. We must first realize and understand that the body of CHRIST has many members yet there is one body. The Church is and will always…

THE LUST OF THE FLESH, THE LUST OF THE EYES, THE PRIDE OF LIFE

Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! I am so honored to share a word that God has given me with you all. Recently, I've been thinking about how so many of our youth, and even many of us adults and "seasoned" saints are getting caught up with things that are causing us to stumble in our walk with the Lord. The Lord spoke to me and said that the devil is using the lust of the flesh and the the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life to entice people.

(1 John…

6 LESSONS IN LEADERSHIP

The Advantages of Teamwork

Many of us are called into leadership positions, but do we really know what being a LEADER means? The definition of a leader is:

1. One that leads or conducts; a guide; a conductor.

2. A chief; a commander; a captain.

3. One who goes first.

Firstly, you CANNOT be a leader if you have no one to lead. By the world's standards, when we think of a leader we think of one who leads a group of people or one who has…

Christains that compromise their Intergrity

What do you think about devout Christains that attend church regularly, they pray, fast, have prayer meetings and fellowship dinners on a regular basis. Yet when it comes down to making a real decision that could possible impact another persons lively-hood then they compromise their intergrity, and without having any amount of compuction about it. I do understand that no one is perfect, however, Christain people have a bad tendency of doing things in the wrong way when they are always…

My daughter wishes she was WHITE... smh

Yesterday I was excessively delayed on the way to take my son and daughter to their football and cheer practices.

My daughter just haaaaaaaad to take her time performing an extreme makeover "Adolescent Edition". She had been at the waterpark all day and the nanny (sound's like wer'e rich doesn't it) washed and braided her hair. Apparently she felt that the braids looked too ethnic because while locked up in her room, she spent 20 minutes undoing and reorganizing them into a…

If God be for us, who can be against us?

Romans 8:

31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? 32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things KJV.

What shall we then say ... What fairly follows from the facts stated? Or what conclusion shall we draw in regard to the power of Christ to support us in our trials from the considerations which have been stated?

If God be for us, Be on our side, or is… Continue

It Is What It Is

Unfortunately, things are just what they are , better yet things are what they seem. I've heard many people use the scripture " to call those things as though they were not " However somethings you just can't call , it's just what it is. The problem may then be what to we do when "it is what it is"? Well, we can always "close our eyes" put our fingers in our ears, or just simple put just pretend. Yet, there is one other solution confront ! I've heard people say well I'm not a confrontational… Continue

Barking Up The Wrong Tree

Fancy sanctuaries, lofty steeples, clanging bells, air conditioned

halls, multi media projeectors and clean sound systems. The churches

are doing well... some even will soon implement debit machines so that

if you left the cheque book or the cash at home you won't have to worry

about not getting to pay your tithe, or make your offerings. Are we

really effective? How is that measured and determined then? Are we

scratching where no one is itching? Are we barking up… Continue
