HOW DO YOU MEASURE
The Change In Your Life

CHANGE is a word that has many different meanings. It is a word that is described by the user of the word to take it out of its literal context and to place it where it’s needed for the moment. The dictionary version of change states that: Replace something with something else, modify or make different. Apparently we are speaking to a more personal change. One which requires to make changes that are more internal as opposed to changing your hair color or wearing different clothes. When it comes to changes that are measurable one must carefully consider what the whole picture looks like and you must count up the cost of the change.
The Point Is:
We all experience difficulties in our lives that at some point causes us to make necessary changes. The issue is that if we don’t, it could be detrimental to our health and safety. This is a mental and heart change where God is involved with the process. When this change takes affect, you and everyone close to you, even God; will know that you have made that change. Changing your clothes, your hair style or make up will not take you to the level necessary for your survival. Making God your top priority in your life is the only one that can see you through this life changing situation. He will provide you with a peace that surpasses your understanding. Therefore, change can only be measured by the changes in your mind and your heart. Just hopefully this change will keep you from letting the devil back into your life. In Jesus Name. TRUST THE PROCESS AND MAKE THAT CHANGE, YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT

ALL GRACE ABOUND
In All Sufficiency

ALL GRACE ABOUND is a powerful statement. It means so much and so many things to those who are blessed by it. This is another way of saying that you are blessed by God. He loves us so much that he provides for us more than we can ask or think of. Who would be so concerned about us that they would make us a priority. God doesn’t do this for us because we are just that damn good, truth be told; we will never be that good. The fact that, in spite of our frailties, he has found a way to bless us; indeed. IN ALL SUFFICIENCY means that he has left no area of our lives uncovered, unprotected or unattended to. Every thought, every prayer and every word of God has been made abound by his actions. This is exactly why Love is an action word and not just a word unfulfilled. God doesn’t just want us to know that he loves us , he wants to show himself approved; in that we will know the expectations from us in all loving matters.
The Point is:
While we are in search of Gods way of doing things, he will show us signs and signals of his most holy ways. He will allow us a window to know that he is that he is by giving us a spiritual eye to see his wondrous works. How much more is he required to do? When he has done the most already. Much of which we are praising the Lord Jesus for has already been or being done because he has showed us his love in ways that no man could perform. It is in the wisdom and knowledge of him that we are one with him. It has always been his prayer for us that we would get to this point to know that he is our God in all sufficiency. In Jesus name. TRUST THE PROCESS AND KNOW THAT HE IS NOT OF THIS WORLD BUT HE IS IN THIS WORLD FOR ALL OF US.

GOD WILL NOT CHANGE YOU
He Will Use You, Just As You Are

In the beginning of your life God had already purposed in you all that he intended for you to be. Because everything that he does is a finished product. We sometimes hear people say that God is not through with you. This in itself can be misinterpreted only to the extent that we might believe that we are an unfinished work. The truth of the matter is that GOD IS DONE, but you are not done. Everything that you would need in your life has already been placed inside of you, it sometimes takes you a revelation of sorts to command it forward. Regardless to who we are or how we live, it usually takes an unplanned and unexpected incident in our lives that allows the real God version of us to come alive.
The Point Is:
God does not need any help making us accept the roles and responsibilities that he placed in us. We have to find him and ask what is his will for our lives. When we go to him ready, willing and able to focus on him, he will not let us down. It is in this moment we realize that there is something else in us that represents our father. Lives are changed everyday not because God did a new thing, but because we finally got it together and accepted that which he gave us. Oh! What a beautiful day it is when we come to our senses to the Glory of God. All the things you have done for selfish reasons, now do the same things but do them to the glory of God. In the natural those things would be acceptable because they were of the world and flesh, now they will also be acceptable because you will do them to bring light unto the darkness and to glorify his kingdom.

In life there are many games that are played where the score means everything. Whose team is better is the usual way of determining who the winner is based on the outcome of the game. On any given day, any team can be beaten; but in losing; it will not necessarily determine which team is better. If you were a betting person, you would know the odds of winning or losing. Everything is a competition to determine who the winner will be. Each player on each team is responsible for their part In the loss or the victory. Taking personal responsibility for their actions are noble and an honest assessment of the outcome.
The Point Is:
There exists a level of responsibility that no man can take credit for because, frankly; we can’t. We can’t take credit for seeing the light of another day. We have nothing to do with waking up or going to sleep. We can’t rely on ourselves to make anything happen. We just have to know that all responsibility is given to the father for our lives. We can’t do anything to change what he has allowed. We are placed in a situation where giving thanks and praise are the expected outcome of all blessings. Stop trusting what you can’t control and let us give credit to him who is responsible for all things. In Jesus Name

LIVING HOLY
Not Like The World

We all have a story to tell, one that exists before coming to Christ. We lived our lives any way we thought that we wanted to, with no regards to there even being a God. We were living our best lives. We were living on our own terms. What could be better than doing us? Some of the decisions that we were making cost us dearly, even to the point of destruction. We didn’t know any better, no one showed us or told us how to take responsibility for our actions. There is a certain amount of expectations that exist as we mature. However, we should arrive at a place where we should do better because we know better. After we establish a relationship with the Lord, we can expect that we will become new creatures in Christ. Our lives will be made over in Love and Forgiveness. We will be separated from the rest of the world based on our new beliefs and new experiences with the father.
The Point Is:
We live in a world where everyone is living out loud and just doing all sorts of things. It’s extremely easy for us to be led by the actions of others because they seem to have fun and interesting lives. We have to develop a strong relationship with the Lord because if we don’t, we will straddle the fence all forever. Living Holy will become a way of life for us, it won’t change what we do , but it will change why we do it and who we do it for. There is nothing greater in our lives than learning to live a purpose filled life. Holy unto God and able to withstand all of the wiles of the enemy. Just because the rest of the world appears to be having fun and living their best lives, the question becomes; at what price? No one ever said living Holy would be easy, but it will be pleasing to the Father. In Jesus Name

DOES MY LIFE MATTER
Here For A Reason
Corrected

In the beginning was the word and the word was with God because the word was God. This particular statement sounds redundant because it repeats the word “WORD” several times. It’s not a rhetorical comment but what it does do is give the impression that there is something powerful about his word. We often hear people say that “ my words are my bond”, which simply says that I am to be judged by every word that proceeds from my mouth and also that I should give an account for those words. The Bible also indicates that Gods words are so powerful that he means what he says and says what he means. The reason why God gave an account for his words in the beginning was because he was going to do everything that he needed to do in seven days and after those days he would declare that “IT IS DONE”. There would be nothing else that he needed to do and this also speaks about why you are here.
The Point Is:
God made no mistake about all that he was doing. He knew that you would be given life and that he needed you to be here to carry out his assignment. Each of us were assigned chores, just as any good parent does. It’s no different than him giving us task to perform, not just he needed it done; but because he needed it done specifically by you. It may not always seem like What we are doing is important but trust and believe that every assignment is for a purpose. Sometimes life tells us that we have just too much to bare and if he really loved us, why does it seem so unfair to burden us with so much. Simply stated, to whom much is given or to whom much will be given; much more would be required. Everything we are burdened with is to give us strength and a test for testimonies to share. God will give you strength and make your way perfect, if you believe. Why we are here may never be known by us, but he knows our purpose; it’s our task to find it. Trust and do believe that he is God to us all and no one escapes without out trials and errors. Remember God does not make mistakes, you are here for a reason. In Jesus Name

IT WAS GOD WHO LOVED YOU,
When Your Life Was Low

Can you remember your life when it was in the dumps. Can you remember a time when things weren’t good for you and you were not in a good place. If you can think back to the struggle, the tears, the loneliness, the cry outs to God. These were times that you wish you could erase from your memory bank. No one wants to remember their hardships or difficulties because they are not pleasing at all, even though they are a reminder to how you got to the point where you are now. Remembering your challenges are the opportunities that you have to share with others , how good God is and was.
The Point Is:
It important that you never lose sight of where you came from. It’s even more important that you are able to share with others that God has provided for you. It’s important for others who are where you use to be, to know that God is still in the miracle business. When God blesses you , he expects to get the Glory out of it from you. This is done when you testify on his behalf that he is God and he is good. God will never do anything for anyone that he does not expect to be Glorified from. Don’t ever get so high on yourself because God has delivered you from the hands of disparities and think that you made it. There will always be debt to be paid that you will never pay off because God always wants you to remember where you came from. Woe until him who forgets his debt to God. In Jesus Name.

BELIEVE WHAT YOU BELIEVE
Receive, What You Believed In

In life we have many challenges that causes us to respond to them in our own way, according to our understanding; which may be quite different from others. No two people are alike, in fingerprinting or in any other way, but we can be on one accord about the God we serve. We can sometimes have similar beliefs about how we raise our children, about how we live, about who to vote for and even about Godly principles. Although similar in thoughts or beliefs won’t always yield similar responses, primarily because we won’t all move the same way. The major underlying principles about how we move is totally based on our belief principles.
The Point Is:
We will live our lives based on what we believe and how we feel about people, places and things. If this principle holds true for most if not all things in life, it would be safe to say that if applied to our basic beliefs in Christ Jesus; the expectation would be the same. If we were to live our lives in conjunction to this one major understanding of who this God is and how we position ourselves to seek after him, we can be assured that we can live in such a way that others will be able to see that we are one with the Holiness of God. We then know that we will by faith in Christ Jesus that we will receive his love and amazing Grace and Mercy because we are one with him and in him. This is the one thing that we can be proud of and thankful for. Because we are different from others, we can assume that we will all have a personal relationship with the father based on that and that alone. However, he will love us all the same. In Jesus Name

A GAME CHANGER
On One Accord

This life that we live is such that we just don’t know what to expect. There are things going on around us that we just don’t have a clue about. We have no understanding of the possibilities that could exist in our daily lives. There seems to be so much discourse and confusion in the world about race, creed, and color that it keeps us separated one from another and out of Gods grace. There are certain times when things are happening around us that causes us to offer a helping hand to others. It is at this time we can see the love of God shining through. It just doesn’t happen enough to be a lasting change.
The Point Is:
On just last evening there was an NFL football game being played and during this game a player was severely injured and both teams were taken off the field, some were crying, some were praying ; while others didn’t know what to make of the situation. The fans were in awe as to the amount of care and concern that had been displayed in a public arena for a single individual. Everything was set for a game to be played to determine a winner to set the end of season records, but God had other plans. This day and this event would be a “Game Changer that would put all in attendance whether in person or by social media networks on one accord. Everyone was stun by the tragic incident that they all began to pray for the injured player. This type of incident has never occurred in the history of football, but there they were trying to figure out whether to play or not. For a moment in time God had everyone’s attention the world was able to see the power of God and prayers. Let us know in our hearts that if we can come together in tragedy, then certainty we could do the same in any situation; if we wanted to. In Jesus Name

GOD DOES NOT CARE WHO YOU WERE
He Only Cares About Who You Are

One can only imagine how much God has to deal with on a daily basis. He is so busy taking care of all of his many task that must be tended to. Although there is much to be done as we know it, but not for him. He is never on overload neither is he ever so conscious of a single act that he forgets to take care of everything. He is the master and creator of all things therefore what seems in the natural to be too much is only a flicker of a flame to him . So let’s look at it another way , in 2022 we made resolutions that we were expecting God to perform and hopefully he has proven himself to you by now. Knowing that you have crossed over into 2023 is refreshing because you are grateful for this opportunity to say thank you to the father. He knew exactly who you were last year and he’s hoping that you knew him also.
The Point Is:
God has shown you both mercy and grace in the previous year and will do so in this coming year, however; he is not reminded about who you were but rather who you have become and who you will be by years end. Knowing that you have the same or greater faith in him to see you through this year. God only wants to know that you are continuing to grow in him , in faith and in love. There is a hope and promise that you will not disappoint him but show yourself approved. There is no expectation that you will be perfect in your transition but that you will be better than you were each and every day. In Jesus Name

Truth being told, if there are items on your list that have not be satisfied prior to the new year, they should be at the top of your New Year’s resolution list. God wants you to stay focused on him while maintaining your visions for the year ahead. In 2023 just give it all to God. Give him all of your struggles, your weaknesses, your flaws , wants, needs and expectations. He is an ever present God and is waiting to see your faith in his powers.

Which Way Do You Go

Directions are applied to almost everything we do. If you fill out an application there are directions. If you travel on the road there are directions. No matter what you do, or where you go; there will be some instructions to how to proceed forward. The directions are not as important as how you follow the instructions, your interpretation of your understanding is what’s really important. The fact that there are instructions to life and living, we must mandate our actions and abilities towards navigating through the challenges that are in front of you.
The Point Is:
There must be rules and guidelines for how we move about. It is a necessary requirement that we pay close attention to what is being asked of us. The only way that we can move forward in any meaningful manner is that we allow ourselves to conduct our moves accordingly. God is always giving us information about what is needed from us to stand in agreement with what his plans are for us. In order to show ourselves approved is to be keen in our ability to follow his instructions to the letter. Only then can we receive Gods blessings for our lives. In Jesus Name

TIS THE SEASON TO BE JOLLY
But Don’t Lose Yourself

Yes, this is the season to be merry and bright. You have waited all the year long for this moment to share yourself with those you love and those who love you back. The most beautiful part of this season is to brighten up someone else’s life. There are so many people who are in need of shoes, clothing and shelter; but more importantly love. Love is that one thing that the world is in need of. Showing others that they are still special and that others do care about them is the
Principle reason to TIS THE SEASON.

It is easy to get caught up in the festivities because of all the food, drink and fun. For the last two weeks of the year , most of us are in over Drive with making the season bright. The real challenge of the season is to carry it forward, realizing and recognizing that this should be our attitude all year long. Let us ask ourselves if we are really serious about making the world a better place. If we are, then we have to know that the homeless needs shelter all year, the hungry wants to eat every day.

WHAT DO THE LONELY DO
At Christmas Time

What the lonely do at Christmas time is based on just how lonely they are and why they are lonely. Loneliness is not the same for each person and neither does it always represent something negative. Loneliness can be described as a place or state of absence and not depression as it is often thought of. Actually loneliness can be the best thing ever in some situations. When anyone chooses to be alone at a certain stage of their lives, it’s for a cause and an effect. They are there because they are trying to Uncover, then Recover and later to Discover new possibilities for themselves. When others are lonely for unfortunate circumstances this situation can prompt an emotional distress in them that can have not so pleasant results.
The Point Is:
Although this season is about celebrating the birth of Christ Jesus and we try to focus on Love and Peace on Earth, he is never off the throne. All the while he is being honored and glorified; his greatest concern is still for the weak and faint at heart. He is never far removed from his flock no matter the situations at hand. He is an ever present help in times of need and strife. He will never leave or forsake those who need him most. His doors are always open to receive his children who need to return home regardless of why they left in the first place. Those who are lonely during Christmas just have to reach out and ask that he come into their lives seeking his love and fellowship. He will be there and offer himself up as a LIVING SACRIFICE for them. In Jesus Name

IT’S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE CHRISTMAS

It’s really beginning to look a lot like Christmas everywhere we go. There are people all over town shopping and eating and celebrating the whole month long. People just seem to be happy and filled with the joy of the holiday season. It’s a beautiful thing to see people in a loving and giving spirit trying to make others happy also. There is no greater joy than being a blessing and allowing God to use you to take care of his people. Thank God for Christmas because we are living in some dangerous times. The people in the world today appear to be just so heartless towards one another. So even for this brief moment let us show some love.

It’s not hard to find someone that’s in need during this time, just reach out and touch them in the same way that he touches us on a daily basis.

FORGETTING GOD
Focused On The Season Of Giving

We all know that the day after Thanksgiving produces the season of giving. Our focus completely changes from anything that does not have to do with giving to how can we feel better by giving. This is the time when our hearts are wide open to make others smile with gifts and thoughts of appreciation but it’s doing this process that we forget what’s most important and that’s keeping our eyes on God. It’s extremely easy to allow yourselves to get caught up in the hype of the season. It is definitely noble to be a giver during this holiday season because there are many who will be without gifts or someone who cares.
The Point Is:
The giving and receiving of gifts is not the reason for the season. He who is called, Jesus The Christ; is the reason for the season. So many of us are quick to place him on the sidelines while we get our shopping and gift wrapping out of the way. We expect God to take a back seat and wait until Jan 2nd when we can focus on him. We tell ourselves this big lie that we are being more Christ like because we are blessing others and this may be your intent but if you remember, the word has already told us that “To whom much is given, much is required “. So this thing that we are doing just because it’s Christmas should be the expectation all the year long. God is not pleased just because we decide to do something nice to make ourselves feel good. If it were really about him, we would be more giving on a daily basis. The only mistake we make is confusing our gifting in this season with God, because it’s really more about us and not him at all. He has to always be the reason in all seasons not just this one. At the end of the day we have to always remember that only what we do for him will matter in the end. In Jesus Name

KNOWING WHAT YOU WANT
Not knowing Gods Plans For you

Can you think back to being a child and someone asking you, “What do you want to be when you grow up”. As a child that question didn’t really mean much, it was just like asking you , what you wanted to eat. As we have gotten older and reflected back on that question and answer, we kinda see things differently. What’s different is that most times the answers are still the same. One of the reasons why is because it’s as a child that we develop our passions for what we will do later in life. As a parent, we sometimes help to develop those passions in our children by the things that we allow them to do and participate in. We also help by the toys and gifts that we constantly provide to them. Although for most parents, they don’t readily know that this is what’s happening.
The Point Is:
In much the same way our father in heaven does the same things for us. God has a way of allowing certain things in our lives and keeps us on a path that produces those passions and desires in us. Just ask yourself how can giving a kid a microphone turn into a pop star or a race car toy kit turn into a Grand Prix Racer. These are the sort of things that helps to forge great interest and futures. The Lord also shows us favors and opportunities that are responsible for our future outcomes. Consider that things don’t just happen. When we look at our historical backgrounds and past experiences, we understand how we are lead to a certain lifestyle and living. God blessed us with our parents, friends, relationships and his undying love that makes us who we are. So knowing what we want to do has a lot to do with what we have done and have been allowed to do, all because he first loved us. So remember what we do matters more then we know. In Jesus Name

THE IDEAL-SELF
Vs
The Real-Self

At first glance these two topics appear to be very much similarly related , because they both have to do with YOU. However, on a second look, you can begin to see the separation of church and state. With that being said, THE IDEAL SELF is the perfect you; it’s the you that you want to be. This is the person that you specific know yourself to be and how you really see yourself, void of what; anyone else thinks or believes you to be. On the other hand, “THE REAL-SELF” is the real you. It’s that person that you really are. This person is the one without a representative, because what you see is what you get.
The Point Is:
This is the struggle that God has with us on a daily basis, because we keep trying to stay the same, all the while, he is constantly trying to make us look like his image. We have a tendency to want what we want and when we want it. Although everything we want isn’t always good for us and no one knows this better than our father in heaven. Just sometimes he has to reroute us like a GPS. If you think about it, a GPS looks at us from high in the skies and sees where we are trying to go , but also sees the obstacles before we do; at which point it takes the liberty to change our course. Isn’t this how God operates and functions in our lives. He is our overseer and navigator. If we trust Global Positioning Satellites, then we must trust that God knows best. We seem to trust everything and everyone with our lives but when it comes to God , he has to fight with us to just trust him with faith as little as a mustard seed. We take a seat knowing that it will hold us, we walk across an intersection trusting that the light will keep us, but e with God it’s not the same level of faith. Trusting God is a learned behavior. Take the time to see him for who he is. In Jesus Name
