Let God be your gardener

“So get rid of all uncleanness and the rampant outgrowth of wickedness, and in a humble (gentle, modest) spirit receive and welcome the Word which implanted and rooted [in your hearts] contains the power to save your souls.” James 1:21 AMP

“[Act on What You Hear]Post this at all the intersections, dear friends: Lead with your ears, follow up with your tongue, and let anger straggle along in the rear. God's righteousness doesn't grow from human anger. So…

From ancient times, the Devil has been so crafty & cunning, he's always plotted to deceive God's people & ruin them to the maximum extent possible.

Be connected to a church family

Be connected to a church family

One reason you need to be connected to a church family is to fulfill your calling to serve other believers in practical ways.“All of you together are Christ’s body, & each one of you is a separate & necessary part of it."1Cor.12:27.NLT. Your service is essential to the Body of Christ, just ask any local church. Each of us has a role to play, every role is important. There'is no small service to God; it all matters.

If my people, which are called by My name

If my people, which are called by My name, shall humble themselves, & pray, & seek my face, & turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, & will forgive their sin, & will heal their land.

The Parable of the Sower

The Parable of the Sower

Luke 8:4-8

4 While a large crowd was gathering and people were coming to Jesus from town after town, he told this parable: 5 “A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path; it was trampled on, and the birds ate it up. 6 Some fell on rocky ground, and when it came up, the plants withered because they had no moisture. 7 Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up with it and choked the plants. 8 Still other… Continue

Psalm 27 " Trust in God "

The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom do I fear? The Lord is my life's refuge; of whom am I afraid?

When evildoers come at me to devour my flesh, These my enemies and foes themselves stumble and fall.

Though an army encamp against me, my heart does not fear; Though war be waged against me, even then do I trust.

One thing I ask of the Lord; this I seek: To dwell in the Lord's house all the days of my life, To gaze…

A Mother from God

Mother from God

Mothers are teachers. Mothers are disciplinarians. Mothers are cleaning ladies. Some mothers are gardeners & mowers of lawns. And most mothers understand that baking cookies is more important than washing windows, too.

Mothers are nurses & doctors & psychologists & counselors & chauffeurs & coaches. Mothers are developers of personalities, molders of vocabularies, & shapers of attitudes. Mothers are soft voices saying, "I love you."… Continue

REPENT

Repent

"But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.”"

Revelation 21:8 ESV

All of us have done, said or thought things that are wrong. This is called sin, and our sins have separated us from God.

The Bible says “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” God is perfect and holy,… Continue

Being Obedient before Judgment Day

Being Obedient before Judgment Day

Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. Earth and sky fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in… Continue

How to make love to your spouse

How to make love to your spouse

I heard a great story from one of the ministers that I would love to share with you, on a elderly couple trying to refresh their love for one another.

A couple that had been married for 50 years sat reflecting one day. The wife said, “Things have really changed over the years. You used to sit real close to me. But you haven’t done that for a while.” “Well I can fix that.” said the man as he got up and moved closer to his wife.

“You… Continue

How to see God

How To See God

Today’s Scripture: "Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God" (Matt. 5:8) [Ref. reading: Matt. 5:1-8]

I’m not trying to be cruel but just to the point, many people who go through the motions of living are in reality dead. They are unresponsive to God’s will, deaf to his call. Such individuals are in touch only with the world. They may attend church, sing in the choir, teach a Sunday school class or even help conduct a worship service, but they lack the… Continue
