“I will bless the Lord at all times, his praise shall continually be in my mouth.” (Psalms 34 vs 1) When was the last time you praise God? I don’t mean going before him with a long list of things to do for me, but just praises and adoration to him. The Bible says thatContinue reading “Praise Him!”

Repent of Your Sins
“In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea, and saying, repent ye for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” (Matthew 3 vs 1-2) That was the message of John the Baptist.

Intercession
“Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints.” (Ephesians 6 vs 18) Before I was selected to be apart of the intercessor’s group at my church I was always devoted to prayer and would always find myself praying for others whether voluntarilyContinue reading “Intercession”

“Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick, and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they mayContinue reading “Be A Light”
Speak His Language
Love: “Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal” (1st Corinthians 13 vs 1) We will never experience true love until we fall in love with Jesus.

Let Nothing Separate You

Defend Your Faith
I recently felt a tugging in my heart to ask this question “Are you willing to defend your faith and die for it?” The book of Acts tells us about Stephen who was stoned to death because of his faith in God (Acts 7 vs 54 – 60). That was a painful way to die.Continue reading “Defend Your Faith”
Increase
The name Jabez means sorrow according to 1st Chronicles chapter 4 vs 9. Jabez knew what his name meant and he also knew that only God could have changed his outcome. So the Bible says “Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, andContinue reading “Increase”

After Moses died Joshua became leader of God’s people. This appointment was already predetermined by God himself in Deuteronomy 31 vs 14, (please read the entire chapter). . This was a great task which became real for Joshua in Joshua chapter 1 vs 2-5. The fear of leading the people made him nervous, so GodContinue reading “Do Not Fear”
Resting In Him
“For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his” (Hebrews 4 vs 10) We are living in a world that is moving fast.

Royalty
“But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people, that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light” (1st Peter 2 vs 9) We serve a sovereign God who does everything with excellence. He fearfully and wonderfully madeContinue reading “Royalty”
Working For Him
“I must work the works of him that sent me, while its day, the night cometh, when no man can work” (John 9 vs 4) Jesus said those words shortly before he healed the blind man.

(Isaiah 40 vs 31) But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strenght, they shall mount up with wings as eagles, they shall run, and not be weary, and they shall walk, and not faint .

The Fear Of The Lord
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and the knowledge of the holy is understanding (Proverbs 9 vs 10). What does it mean to fear the Lord? I am glad you asked.

KINDNESS
In Luke chapter 10 Jesus told the story of man who was beaten and left to die but help came by the hands of a stranger, the Samaritan. One take away from that parable was we are all neighbors, and it does not matter who we are, our color or race, we should be kindContinue reading “KINDNESS”
Comforter
Today’s word is dedicated to all the families that lost their loved ones in the helicopter crash that killed 9 people in California yesterday. I am also dedicating today’s word to others who have lost loved ones under different circumstances. “Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted” (Matthew 5 vs 4). ThisContinue reading “Comforter”

“And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee, for my strenght is made perfect in weakness…most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me” (2nd Corinthians 12 vs 9 – 10).

Living Water
I love David’s version of God in Psalms 42 vs 1-2. He compared his thrist for God to that of a deer when it’s thirsty. Just like in the physical likewise in the spirit. We get thirsty and not even the most expensive drink can quench our thirst. Only water can do that. Same forContinue reading “Living Water”
He Is Coming Back!
Good day and welcome to today’s word. Today lets take time out from our busy schedule to reflect on the 2nd coming of Jesus Christ. Oh yes my friends He is coming back again. This song is laid on my heart, sing along if you know it…“He’s coming back again, He’s coming back again, HeContinue reading “He Is Coming Back!”
Get Wisdom
Today’s word is wisdom. Solomon caught the vision of how important having wisdom is.

He (God) added wisdom to the package. InContinue reading “Get Wisdom”
Are You A Stumblingblock?
They are many scriptures in the Bible that tells us that we are free in Christ. John 8:32 is one of them, it says “Then you will know the truth and the truth will set you free”. The moment you gave your life to Jesus you would have come in contact with the Truth, becauseContinue reading “Are You A Stumblingblock?”
The Jordans In Your Life
Today’s word is taken from Joshua chapter 3. I often get excited whenever I read that chapter, how God caused the Jordan to stand up and rose up upon an heap (vs. 16). I remember growing up one of our main chores was to sweep the yard until it was spotless and we would heapedContinue reading “The Jordans In Your Life”
FORGETTING AND PRESSING
Philippians 3 vs 13-14 tells us…Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before. I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Paul caught the vision,Continue reading “FORGETTING AND PRESSING”
What happens when the saints pray?
According to Revelation 5 vs 8. The prayers of the saints are kept in vials in Heaven! When we pray God pays attention and the host of heaven responds.

About Me
