“Like-Won’t Get You into Heaven”
You know Beloved, in a grocery store there are many items. Some we look at, some we like, some we miss, some we don’t like. But the items are in the store whether we like them, miss them or don’t like them.Beloved, Jesus Christ walked this earth over 2,000 years ago. There are many who liked Him, many who didn’t like Him and many who didn’t know Him. But that didn’t and hasn’t stopped the message He represents from reaching the masses. Beloved, Christianity isn’t about popularity or how many “Likes” you get on your social media sites. But one thing it is about is who you have reached with your message.
Nicodemus was a Pharisee and a member of the Sanhedrin who visited Jesus one night to discuss Jesus’ teachings. You see, He didn’t come to Him by day because of who and what he represented. There are many “Nick’s at night.” They read your post but because you don’t attain a certain look, a popular status, who you are, what family pedigree you come from, what they think of you, what they have said or others have said about you or you are not in their clique, they will not click the “Like” button.
Beloved, if you’re one who do not get many “likes” don’t let it get you down!!!
As long as your message is out there, it reaches more than you can imagine!!!Colossians 3:23-24 (AMP) says:
23 Whatever you do [whatever your task may be], work from the soul [that is, put in your very best effort], as [something done] for the Lord and not for men, 24 knowing [with all certainty] that it is from the Lord [not from men] that you will receive the inheritance which is your [greatest] reward. It is the Lord Christ whom you [actually] serve.Titus 2:7-8 (AMP)
7 And in all things show yourself to be an example of good works, with purity in doctrine [having the strictest regard for integrity and truth], dignified, 8 sound and beyond reproach in instruction, so that the opponent [of the faith] will be shamed, having nothing bad to say about us.Beloved remember, it is God who forgives us and orders our steps.
Popularity (Likes) want get us into Heaven.
Let us all thank God for His Grace and Mercy!!!“To God Be The Glory!!!”

“Don’t Succumb to the Dispirited Attitude”
Focal Scripture:
Habakkuk 1:2Beloved, have you ever felt trapped and dispirited?
If you have, then don’t feel bad because you’re not alone. At some point everyone experiences dashed hopes.A person with a dispirited attitude is person that has lost enthusiasm and hope. A dispirited attitude is normally the initial reaction that occurs when there is an emotional response to a failed expectation. If a dispirited attitude is allowed to linger, it can turn into discouragement, which will hover you like a dark cloud. When that occurs, there’s no sense of happiness or satisfaction, no matter what you do.
Beloved, the conditions that activate these emotions can be unavoidable, but it all depends on how we choose to respond. We can either let sadness overpower our souls or face the situation with courage and bring it before the One who can help us.
Beloved, living with a dispirited attitude will divide the mind, making it hard to focus on anything besides our pain. Then as anger becomes habitual, we’ll look for someone to blame either God, the people around us, or ourselves. Frustration that isn’t controlled may develop into depression, which in turn will cause us to distance ourselves from others. I’m sure you know that many people don’t enjoy the company of someone who’s bitter and defeated. When Isolation occurs, it leads to a low self-esteem.
Finally, in the haze of the dispirited attitude, it becomes really easy to make poor decisions based on crushed emotions instead of truth. Obviously, choosing this self-destructive path isn’t God’s best for our lives.
Beloved, we’ll all face disappointment from time to time, but as Christians we should not allow ourselves to wallow in it. Instead, God wants us to trust Him with everything, even our unfulfilled expectations and deepest unhappiness.
Remember Beloved, Romans 8:28 tells us that there’s divine purpose for everything He allows to touch His children’s lives.
“May God continue to bless the readers and doers according to His will.”

“A New Vision”
Praise The Lord Beloved!!!
Happy Wednesday Everyone!!!Beloved allow me to ask you a few questions.
Are you ready for new growth? Are you ready to go to the next level, spiritually, physically and emotionally? Well if you are I may be able to help you.As I was doing my morning Bible reading I came across Mark 2:22 which says:
“And no one puts new wine into old wineskins. For the wine would burst the wineskins, and the wine and the skins would both be lost. New wine calls for new wineskins.”Beloved, in that verse Jesus is actually saying that you can’t go to a new level with an old mentality (out of date thinking). You know, I’ve found that many people hear the truth that God has more in store for them, and something resonates on the inside. Their spirit comes into agreement with God. But many times, their natural minds will try to talk them out it. Thoughts come like, “It’s not going to happen for you. You’re not going to have a great year. You know what the economy is like.” Or, “You’re never going to get well. You saw what the medical report said.” “You’re never going to get married. You’ve been single so long. It happens for everyone but you.”
Friends, those are the old wineskins that you have to get rid of. This is a new season. What’s happened in the past is over and done!!! You may have been through some disappointments, some frustrations, some scares, you may have tried and failed, or things didn’t work out. That’s okay. We serve a God of restoration. It’s time to get a new vision for your life.

“Loyalty”
Praise the Lord Beloved!!!
Happy Tuesday to you.Beloved, have you ever noticed that honesty and loyalty go together? In other words, if we’re not being loyal to our family, friends, country, job, then we aren’t going to experience God’s best. You see, loyal people are honorable people. When you’re loyal, you stick with someone through thick and thin. When you’re loyal, you keep your word to people EVEN if you get a “better” offer.
Also, loyal people are respectful to their family and people with right moral influence. Loyal people honor their parents and defend their family. When you’re loyal, you’re a person of integrity. You build trust with others.
Beloved, there are so many that claim they’re faithful and committed to people when they’re in front of them. In other words, they say and act like they’re loyal when they’re in the presence of the individual and then they become uncommitted just as soon as the individual is no longer in their presence.
So actually in front of you they are portraying a constant lie.Beloved, Beware of the Habitual Liar!!!
Their dishonest is relentless!!!
THERE IS NO INTEGRITY FOR A HABITUAL LIAR!!!“OH habitual liar, the veracity of your dishonesty has destroyed your accountability.
Can’t you see, you have lost your correct morality, along with your credibility.
What lie will you tell next? How many more lies are you going to tell, before you wake up and realize, your soul is vexed? You have been exposed by a godly lamp, now everyone knows you’re the
Judas in the camp?” (Bishop, Dr. W. F. Houston, Jr.)Beloved, don’t let the distractions of everyday life keep you from being dedicated. Look for ways to show honor to those around you especially those that are loyal to you. Show love by staying loyal.
As scripture promises, when you pursue loyalty and righteousness, you will find the abundant life God has planned for you!!!

“Needing Nothing”
Praise the Lord Beloved!!!
Happy Monday to each of you.You know beloved, God wants you to be faultless and whole, living in His abundance and needing nothing on this earth. That may seem like a stretch from where you are today. It may seem far off, but in an instant, things can turn around. God has set up a system of blessing for you, and it starts with His Word. The Bible says that God has given each of us a measure of faith. We all have faith, and it’s up to us to develop it. Romans 10:17 says that faith grows as we read and study His Word. Faith, in turn, produces patience, and when we allow patience to have its perfect work in us, we will lack no good thing.
So today, no matter where you are in the process, the key is to keep moving forward by reading and hearing His Word. His Word is alive. His Word will heal your heart and restore your soul.
“To God Be the Glory!!!”
