  • “Extremely Satisfied”

    Good Morning Beloved, Happy Friday to you all.

    In this morning’s Bible Verse, we find a little boy with a sack lunch, and in his bag, he had five loaves of bread and two fish. Nothing to get excited about. Not until Jesus took his lunch multiplied it and fed a hungry crowd of over a thousand people. Imagine this child’s mother who made his lunch. She was a stay at home mom raising a child without a big-name title or acclamation. But titles don’t bring satisfaction. Keeping up with the Joneses (your neighbors) doesn’t bring joy. Trying to impress your friends, family, co-workers, the church family will make your life depressing. You must understand your position and your assignment and be comfortable with who God created you to be. You will find out that not trying to be like the Joneses will bring real pleasure.

    Beloved as we bring to an end another week and organize ourselves for the weekend, I encourage you not to diminish the gift God has given you. Be reliable and protect the role that God has given you. Be happy not to have to be number one, or have all eyes on you, to have a big-name title, keep up with The Joneses or others.

    Beloved, the splendor of our God is that He has given every one of us a special gift and purpose. Amen? Aaamen. ✝️❤️

    Let Us Pray
    Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for the custom-made gifts You’ve distributed to me. Thank You for matching me with what You want me to do, and I have the proper tools and resources that I need to accomplish Your plan for my life. I declare that I am very content with my position and assignment. In Jesus’ Name, I pray,  
    Amen and Aaamen. ✝️❤️

    Have a Satisfying Friday and a Fantastic Weekend, Everyone. ✝️❤️😊

  • “Don’t Be a Satisfied Runner-Up”

    James 1:2-3
    My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.

    Praise the Lord Men and Women of the Christian Faith. It is cold here and the we have lots of snow. I hope all is pleasant in your nation.

    Beloved, I’ll be the first to admit that it’s very difficult to be excited about going through tests and trials. But can you get excited about being absolutely complete in every way, in want of nothing? Well, according to the Word of God, if you’ll use your trials to mature in patience, you’re going to be in exactly that position!!!
     
    You see, I’ve found that patience doesn’t mean what I thought it meant. It doesn’t mean being OK with being runner-up. It doesn’t mean standing humbly or quietly by while the devil runs all over you. The devil would love for you to make his job easy.
     
    No!!! Patience is a powerful word!!! The New Testament meaning of it as translated literally from the Greek is “to be consistently constant or to be the same way all the time, regardless of what happens.”
     
    To understand how much power’s involved in that, you have to understand that it’s one of the most outstanding attributes of God Himself. The Bible says He’s the same yesterday, today and forever.
     
    Beloved, just think about that for a minute. The person who absolutely cannot be changed by anyone or anything is an extremely powerful person, wouldn’t you say? Obviously, God has that much power.
     
    But you know what? So, do you!!!
     
    By the power of the Holy Ghost working within you, you can be the same every day no matter what happens. If you’ll put your trust in the Word of God and let patience go to work, it won’t matter what happens. You won’t ever have to accept anything less than victory again.

    Have a blessed Week Everyone. 😀
