“Stop Deceptive, Maliciousness”

Praise the Lord Beloved!!! 😀

Well, it’s Friday, and what an honor it is to start the day with all of you. May we all continue to praise Him from whom all blessings flow!!! 😀

You know Beloved, when proper direction is in position, deceptive maliciousness is customarily kept in check and respectable morals will flourish. This takes effect when you make the conscience decision to keep deceptive maliciousness outside when it shows up on your doorstep, on your job, calling you on your phone, your church or ministry or at the grocery store. Keeping deceptive maliciousness outside means keeping toxic people from trashing your personal zone, infecting your air space or ear-wave.

Beloved, you’re the administrator in your life. So, you have the authority to restrict the flow of deceptive maliciousness while simultaneously and intentionally seeking to expand the flow of your respectable morals.

Beloved, this weekend, if you’re approached by anyone with deceptive maliciousness, remember, it only come to steal, kill, and destroy. Your primary goal is to keep a reputable mine.

Have wonderful weekend Everyone. 😀

“DO YOUR PART”

Praise the Lord Beloved!!! 😀 It is Friday, and I’m happy that we are counted in today’s number to continue to be obedient to God and spread the Words of Jesus Christ. If you are feeling blessed right now shout out if you can or say quietly if you’re in a place you can’t shout out HALLELUJAH!!! THANK YOU, SAVIOR, FOR THIS DAY!!!
You know Beloved, I’ve met people who know that the Lord has called them to do something, but they are so focused on their perceived lack of ability that they keep telling Him, “I’m not at that point, or I can’t.” Beloved, I’m not sure if you realize it, but that is a form of rebellion. It’s almost like telling God that He isn’t powerful enough to equip you, and that His will being done on this earth depends upon your natural skills. Beloved, the Lord is the one who gives us the ability to live within His will. IT’S A DIVINE POWER!!! You see, if we believe Him and move forward “in obedience,” He’ll show us what we’re to do and energize us to get it done. Philippians 2:13 says that God Himself “is a work in you both to will and work for His good pleasure.” So Beloved, there is nothing to fear!!! 😀 You never have to take on His work in your own strength ‘AND” He won’t ask you to do anything that He will not enable you to carry out.

So this weekend Beloved, as a follower of Christ remember, you have a personal responsibility, first, to say yes when God calls and second, to allow Him to achieve His purposes through your life. He won’t let you down, so do your part and don’t let Him down.

Have Blessed Weekend Everyone. 😀

Spiritual Focus”

Praise the Lord Beloved. Happy Friday and Happy Father’s Day Weekend. 😀

Beloved determining to stay spiritually decent and in order is a choice not a command. But, when we honor the Lord by being spiritually upright, the Lord changes the way that believers decide on different occurrences that spring into their life.

Beloved, your spiritual conclusion won’t always be favorable to many especially the carnal minded (worldly) people. So, as we approach this Father’s Day weekend, instead of following our carnal predispositions or compulsions, choose to seek God’s platform to look at every situation you may encounter. OH!!! And one other thing, rather than relying on other people’s advice or information choose to search scripture for confirmation on what you hear the Lord is saying to you. Eventually, you’ll get use to discerning the quiet voice of the Holy Spirit, and the voices of the world “will” weaken.

Have a Blessed and Happy Father’s Day Weekend Everyone!!! 😀

“Do Your Homework!!!”

Praise the Lord Beloved!!! 😀
We have reached another weekend. Let us all say Thank you Jesus!!! 😀

This weekend, I’m giving you a certain word to think about. And that word is “HOMEWORK”.

Beloved, when it comes to aggressive spiritual encounters, that’s a word you’d do well to remember. Most believers don’t pay much attention to it. They don’t prepare themselves in advance. They mess around until the devil makes his move, then they jump up and try to fight him with the Word!!! And they usually lose. 😀

I was in that number myself. I used to do the same thing until the Lord educated me differently. I used to wait until I would get ready to speak at a conference, bring the word to an assembly or lecture at a seminar to pray for a successful outcome. Satan would engage his battle against them from one direction, I’d fight him there. Then he’d move around and attack them in another area, and I’d fight him there.

So, one day the Lord showed me that by waiting until the last minute to take my stand, I was giving Satan to much time to build up his forces against me. And consequently, I was losing many of my battles. Then the Lord said something to me I’ll never forget. He said, if they had stopped Saddam Hussein, Osama bin Laden, Pablo Escobar and Al Capone when they were just small-time operators, they wouldn’t have been so hard to handle. But, they waited until they became first-class criminals with their forces built up around them. Then it took an army to bring him down.

Let me tell you Beloved, when I processed what the spirit of the Lord was saying to me, I made up my mind never to be caught unprepared or make spontaneous decisions again. I started praying about my Special events and meetings weeks in advance, getting the stage set spiritually before they ever began. Instead of letting Satan get his forces deep-seated, I started throwing him out before he had a chance to set up and embed his opposing position. When I did that, I saw more victories than I ever had before.

Beloved, this weekend, don’t allow the devil to capture you off guard or with a sneak attack. DO YOUR HOMEWORK!!! Start praying and speaking the Word of faith now over your family, your business, your church/ministry. Get your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace. Then if Satan causes trouble, you’ll be well-equipped to run him out of your municipality.

Have a Blessed Weekend Everyone!!! 😀

Dig The Correct Ditch

Praise the Lord Beloved!!!

It’s Friday and another weekend is upon us.

Beloved, this weekend let us be very thoughtful of others and not decisively vindictive.

In Proverbs 26:27 the Book of Wisdoms says: “If you set a trap for others, you will get caught in it yourself. If you roll a boulder down on others, it will crush you instead.”

I also like what the Late Mahalia Jackson said: “If you dig one ditch you better dig two cause the trap you set just may be for you.”

You know Beloved, the ditch digging I’m speaking about here, is what one person does to another person to embarrass, or degrade. There have been many people who have dug a ditch, or laid a trap to humiliate, hurt or make that person look bad in some way to others, only to find they themselves were trapped by the ungodly plans they designed.

Beloved, when we have wisdom we gain understanding. So, through wisdom we understand that whether its descriptive, symbolic, or physical, when we dig a ditch for others we too are in a very dangerous position to fall into our deceptive mechanism. It amazes me how many seasoned aged people are still digging ditches for others after falling victim many times to their own abstracted diabolical schematics.

Now, don’t get me wrong here. God does allow us to dig ditches to create space or create security, but never to harm or destroy anyone!!!

Beloved this weekend if you desire to dig a ditch, dig it with the words of God as your shovel.

Have a blessed weekend Everyone!!! 😀

Get Godly Wisdom”

Praise the Lord Beloved!!!
Happy Friday. We are on the door step of another weekend.

You know Beloved, Godly Wisdom is an essential component that each one of us need to apprehend. Without it, our comprehension of the spiritual things surrounding the Kingdom of God will be limited. On my “A Slice of Heaven” album I recorded a song called “Hear Ye God’s Children”, I recite one of my favorite verses (Proverbs 4:7) trying to increase the awareness about the importance of Wisdom.

Jesus said in Mathew 6: 33 “Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you”. But without Godly Wisdom, the spiritual discernment required to search the Kingdom of God will be pointless.

Beloved, this weekend do whatever it takes to embrace Godly wisdom. Believe me, when you do, you’ll find it will saturate you with understanding the Kingdom of God.

Have a very blessed weekend Everyone. 😀

“Mother Are Our Gift From God”

Praise the Lord Beloved!!!

We have reached another weekend.

As we all know this is a weekend that is dedicated to all Mothers.

I salute you “Mothers” all over the world for your dedicated painstaking labor. I also salute the Mothers that are eternally with us. Their physical footsteps no longer walk life’s journey, but the footprints to their pathway will never be removed.

Beloved, the Mother’s Day philosophies shouldn’t just be about being a mother and receiving honor, but thanking God for the mother He gave you, and honoring that principle. Now, let me make it clear right here, Moms should be honored. But their value goes far beyond vocal salute or featured physical elements. Thanking God for your Mother is essential!!! Mothers are a gift from God, and every one of us has one.

So, in actuality, Mother’s Day is really a holiday for everyone. It’s a day that offers us an opportunity to thank God for His goodness for giving us mothers, and an event that grants us the privilege and gratitude to express our tangible special honor all day.

Have a Blessed Mother’s Day Weekend Everyone.
