  • “It’s OK to Be Different”

    Walk with me Lord It's OK To Be Different

    This mornings’ Scripture reading comes from
    1 Peter 2:11 (NLT)

    Dear friends, I warn you as “temporary residents and foreigners” to keep away from worldly desires that wage war against your very souls.
    Praise the Lord Everyone and Happy Father’s Day to the Fathers all around the world.

    You know, when you become devoted to Christ, your life becomes different. Your mentality changes. Everything about you becomes different. When we follow God’s directions, it means we do things differently from others. It means, instead of being offended or upset, we choose love and tranquility. Instead of insisting on our way, we assist others. Beloved, it means, instead of trying to be right all the time, we build and lift others up.

    Now, this isn’t the way most people in the world act, but that’s okay. As Christians (Believers) we’re called to be different. We’re called to rise higher. We’re called to be examples, an illustration of God’s grace, mercy and forgiveness. It may not make sense to others but that’s okay!!! 😀 God will promote you to a new level of blessing and victory when you obligate yourself fully to Him.

    Beloved, you don’t have to live a life of mediocrity, you can live a life of excellence for God. Live a life pleasing to Him and don’t be afraid to be different!!!

    Let Us Pray:
    Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for transforming me into Your image. I know that I’m not like the world, I’m set apart for You. Help me to love like You and be a light everywhere I go. In Jesus’ Mighty Name I pray, Amen and Amen!!!

    May your Father’s Day Sunday be Blessed in the Lord. 😀

  • “A Bundle of Joy”

    Mother's day 3 mothers
    CHOF Ministry’s – Walk with Me

    Happy Mother’s Day!!!

    My Sunday Message this week is called
    “A Bundle of Joy”

    Because it is a very special day, I will post it in it’s entirety in all the social media sites we are affiliated with.

    Beloved, Exodus 2:3 says: “But when she couldn’t hide him any longer, she got him a wicker basket and covered it over with tar and pitch. Then she put the child into it and set it among the reeds by the bank of the Nile.”

    Just think about that!!! This was a crying baby in an ark that is bobbing along the banks of the Nile River filled with crocodile!!! The child could have been a tasty treat for the crocodiles. This was not an easy choice for Jochebed. A portion of her mind and emotions walked outside of her body for four decades.

    But it’s here we see her faith in God come to life. Freeing Moses into his calling launched one of the most powerful weapons known to man. “THE PRAYING MOTHER.” Beloved, if you are blessed with one, then you already know.  These “soldiers” are a force to deal with. They keep praying when others stop. Will fast when others won’t. Will stand up when others sit down. Just think, there have been many lives that have abruptly been turned around by the remark, “I had a praying’ momma.” And you know, these strategists are doubled in power if the grandmother’s involved.

    2 Timothy 1:5 says: “For I am mindful of the sincere faith within you, which first dwelt in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, and I am sure that it is in you as well.”

    Beloved, the apostle Paul understood the spiritual legacy of the maternal vine that reaches deeply into succeeding generations. Rooted faith from praying women who understand the secret things of God. These silent warriors activate the “Moses” in us, so that we have the opportunity to achieve greater things for God’s kingdom, by offering prayers with confirmed results.

    Like Ezekiel and Paul, I have recognized the inspiration of the gift that my praying mother and grandmother have blessed me with. My mother cemented my way to be born a second time into the Kingdom of God. Her personal legacy was to plant goodness and mercy into the lives of not just her children, but also inserting the love and compassion to others also.

    Beloved, God keeps His promises to mothers who in turn blesses the life of her bundle of joy with life and posterity which will powerfully live on though out the child’s life.

    To All the Mothers in The World I Salute You:
    Happy Mother’s Day!!!

  • “Thinking Spiritually”

    Thinking Spiritually

    Beloved, do you ever feel as though you’re missing out on God’s rich blessings?

    There’s no doubt, hardship is a part of life, and we can’t have everything we ask to receive. But if we act foolishly, we might also miss out on some of the good things the Lord has in mind to give us.
     
    In Genesis 25:27-34 that’s exactly what happened with Esau. He was starving when he returned from a hunting trip. His brother Jacob offered him a bowl of soup in exchange for Esau’s birthright. And the trade was accepted.
     
    Beloved, doesn’t it seem silly that this older brother would make such a swap?
     
    But you know, if we’re not careful, that’s,
    if we’re thinking spiritually, we’ll also give up what’s excellent for temporary satisfaction.
     
    You see, a person acting in this way displays certain characteristics. For one thing, he/she makes decisions based on today, without considering tomorrow’s consequences. Next, he/she is blind to life’s essential values and gives higher priority to his/her desires and emotions than to the Lord. In addition, they’re willing to sacrifice what’s lasting for something that brings only brief satisfaction. Similarly, their focus is on the temporal rather than the eternal. Finally, he/she makes decisions in moments of physical, emotional, or spiritual weakness.
     
    Beloved, at that time, it may seem desirable to base a decision upon an immediate want. But are you willing to pay the price for that kind of lack of forethought? It will never satisfy your heart.
     
    Beloved, instead, rely on God’s Word for truth, and let His Spirit guide you in making every choice.
     
    Have a blessed Sunday Everyone.
