"Famine In Your Finances "
After the Prodigal Son had spent everything, there was a severe famine in that whole country and he began to be in need. So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed pigs.
Luke 15:14-15 NIV
Sometimes circumstances will force you to take a job you really don't want, force you to work a job you can't stand; the atmosphere itself just stinks.
But still you show up there, prepared to work and all the while, your mind is working on something else, you are coming to your senses. Like the Prodigal Son, you are coming to your senses and your escape root is becoming visible.
SOMEBODY: You know what you must get up and do...Just like the Podigal Son, you know what you must get up and do. It's time to stop being passive, not everybody will be happy about your comeback, but God has left the door open for you to come back.
Now, when you get back in "that place"... The place that is so familiar to you, that place where you don't have to worry about money or try to budget what you do have because famine has hit your finances...Some will celebrate you and some will go right on hating you.
While, other's hatred of you will really just turn out to be jealousy among family.
Read Luke 15 starting at verse 11 in its entirety.
Yet, inspite of all the upset and drama, you being back in your rightful place will cause...God still has material things waiting on you, because he doesn't mind you having things. The bible actually says:
No good THING will God withhold for those that walk uprightly
Psalm 84:11 KJV
Therefore, God has a house along with jewelry and clothing waiting on somebody....Is it you?
Tough things out for now (temporarily)...But the 1st chance you get, you do what you know you need to do and GET OUT OF THERE. God has plans for your comeback, plans for your future. Jere 29:11 Get in position to receive and KEEP GOD 1ST in everything; material things and otherwise.

"Understanding The Spirit of Offense"
Perhaps, You're like David. You're just a person out to do a good deed, but every good thing you do gets attacked and completely taken the wrong way.
Here, David was in 1 Samuel 17 delivering lunch to his brothers who were apart of the Israelite Army and in battle. While he was there, delivering them food and checking on them... He overhears something that peaked his interest. So, he decided to hang around a bit and ask questions.What did he do that for? OUCH!.
Because the minute, David's brother Eliab saw him there, he got offended and verbally lashed out at David, accusing him of being conceited in his actions.
When Eliab, David's oldest brother heard him speaking with the men, he burned with anger at him and ask, "Why have you come down here? And with whom did you leave those few sheep in the wilderness? I know how conceited you are and how wicked your heart is; you came down only to watch the battle."
1 Samuel 17:28 NIV
You see, Beloved when a person is truly offended...They can't stand even the sound of your voice. Eliab got offended when he heard David speaking; they accuse you of everything imaginable and try to down play your accomplishments.
Is that the way someone is currently treating you? But Why? ONE WORD: REJECTION.
Every little thing offends the rejected.
If you read your bible, you will recall that in 1 Samuel 16 Eliab was one of David's brothers rejected for the Kingship, a position that David ended up getting anointed for right there at the house in front of his brothers.
So, A lot of Eliab's offensive behavior, his verbal attack on David came from his being rejected and David then receiving the position he wanted.
SOMEBODY: That person doesn't like you and verbally attacks you because they don't know how to deal with the rejection that happened to them.
I'm asking you today to have compassion on them and consider that they're really in more pain than what they're trying to inflict.
Somewhere, there is a root cause of all their anger that has yet to be pulled up. Maybe, It is a David & Eliab situation. Who knows?.
Still, this is your prayer for them:
Every plant that my heavenly Father has not planted will be pulled up by the roots. In Jesus name. 🙏Amen 📖 Matt 15:13 NIV
Pull it up Father...Deliver them.
And just so you know...David turned away from his brother's foolishness and went on to talk to somebody making sense.
Until Next Sunday.

"What You Don't Know Won't Hurt You"
The old saying, " What you don't know won't hurt you" is such a lie.
What you don't know can unfairly alter your whole life. ...For it's only when you know better that one can truly do better.
Think about the famous quote by Harriet Tubman. Now, just imagine how many slaves she could have freed, if only they knew they were slaves. It all comes back to what you know and what you don't know.
And if we're honest, not knowing is what landed most of us right in the midst of dysfunction, thinking it's normal behavior because by now, we have gotten so use to the way things are, that we don't even think to question it. Surely, this is the way everybody is living, behaving. Surely, there are no real Huxtables or Brady Bunches out there or is there?
The bible says: The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examined him. Proverbs 18:17 Berean Study Bible
Beloved, I know it seems right the way you've been raised to live, because at an early age that's the first thing that was presented to you.... But it's time that theory was cross-examined by Jeremiah...Because in Jere 29:11 CEV
The prophet, Jeremiah says on behalf of God: I will bless you with a future filled with hope --- a future of success, not of suffering.
But that's just it, many of us have come from a background of suffering, a background laced with some form of abuse and/or dysfunction; making it hard to believe anything better even exist.
SOMEBODY: You've been living pay check to pay check, living in debt, being a slave to the lender. Proverbs 22:7.
Not even realizing you are indeed "A 21st Century Slave." A slave that God wants to set free, a slave he wants to bless with a successful future...But again, in the words of Harriet Tubman:
"If only they knew they were slaves." So, don't tell me, what you don't know won't hurt you. Oh, yes it will.
A little food for thought...Hmmm 🤔

"I Have No Husband"
The woman said to Jesus, " Sir, give me this water so that I won't get thirsty and have to keep coming here to draw water."
He told her, "Go call your husband and come back."
"I have no husband, she replied."
Jesus said to her, "You are right when you say you have no husband."
John 4:15-17 NIV
Let's face it, if you're a certain age and still unmarried in this country....Society tries to make you feel ashamed; as though there's something wrong with you. You're the reason you still don't have a husband.
God is not like that, though. Jesus was not trying to make the woman at the well feel ashamed.
He seeked only to make her "honestly" aware....Aware that she didn't have a husband, but what she had was a situation, a living situation that was costing her time and energy. He wanted her to open her eyes and see that legally she hadn't changed, her last name was still the same. Though over the years she probably had changed emotionally after living, voluntarily with a man who only gave her a complicated status and nothing more.
Beloved, There is living water available to you. That's what Jesus was offering the woman at the well...Water that will stop your thirst to be emotionally fulfilled. You see, most of the time for us, as women, it's not about the sex or even the wedding day, but deep down we just want to be emotionally fulfilled.
And the woman at the well was totally missing the revelation Jesus was trying to drop on her concerning this.
She wanted Jesus to give her the water he spoke of, so that she wouldn't get thirsty again and have to come there to draw water.
When in reality, she would get thirsty naturally again and have to come there and draw herself some water. But what Jesus and his living water would do for her soul (her mind, her will, and her emotions) is fill her up and stop her from coming there (to that man's door), thirsting for acceptance, thirsting for emotional fulfillment.
God says, Open wide your mouth and I will fill it.
Why your mouth? Because your mouth represents your hunger, your thirst, and your voice/identity all of which are areas where you need to be fulfilled.
Psalm 81:10 NIV
Read: John 4:1-29 NIV

"The Mobility Of Thank You"
Beloved, Have you ever given somebody something and you expected them to at least say, "Thank You?" Instead, they just looked at you in that moment and said EVERYTHING, but thank you.
Instantly, something in you that was mobile (moved with generosity) is now stagnant, stopping you and them from going any further. They appear to be ungrateful and you don't know what to make of it; so you don't. You don't say anything.
However, "Thank You" was meant to be mobile, a common courtesy that would work in the natural with man, you, and me and in the spirit realm with God as well.
A simple thank you is often times all it takes for the person to be even more generous towards you the next time; just knowing that what they gave (contributed) the first time did matter.
That's from the natural realm of course, but in the spirit realm....
Did you know, "Thank You" is the key to unlocking more and moving you from the gates (entry level) to the courts (inner courts) of God? In other words, a heart-felt thank you gets you in, takes you in...I dare you to praise him with a sincere "Thank You" on your lips right now. 🙌 See what I mean.
Psalm 100:4 AMPC
Enter into His gates with thanksgiving. And a thank offering and into His courts with praise! BE THANKFUL AND SAY SO TO HIM.
SIDE NOTE: Thanks is something that's supposed to be given. Therefore give it, open your mouth and say so to him.
Yet, some of you wonder why things are not moving a long as rapidly as you had expected. TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT YOU'RE ACTIONS ARE PROTRAYING BY WHAT YOU'RE NOT SAYING. If you're thankful....The scripture says: You must say so to Him.
Why else would God have given us each other to practice the common courtesy of "Thank You" on? It's because thank you really is the key to so much more than we know. The message bible says it like this:
Psalm 100:4 MSGEnter with the password: "Thank You!"
It's the password, it's the key which makes me wonder, how many things, situations could you have bypassed, if you would've just had a thankful heart (towards God) and said so?
Food for thought.

"Wasted Time"
Then GOD assigned a huge fish to swallow Jonah. Jonah was in the fish's belly three days and nights.
Jonah 1:17 MSG
To us, three days and three nights generally means 72 hours, but we must understand the Bible historically and culturally. For the Jewish mind, this could mean any part of the first day, all of the second day and any part of the third day.Nevertheless, Jonah wasted time.He wasted time running...And just so you know, God by nature is not wasteful and he doesn't like it when we are either.
The scripture says: When they had all had enough to eat, he (Jesus) said to his disciples, "Gather the pieces that are left over. Let nothing be wasted.
John 6:12 NIV
Let nothing be wasted. Why? Because God is not wasteful. He's always gathering the left over pieces of our broken hearts and healing each heart that would dare come to him, turn to him, healing our broken hearts piece by piece.
BELOVED, I KNOW YOU DON'T THINK YOU GOT THROUGH THAT divorce, that breakup, that funeral, that illness, got through the loss of that job, and having no place to stay on your own?
No, that was God not wanting your emotions, not wanting your tears to be all for nothing, so he healed you. He heals the brokenhearted. Psalm 147:3, He bottles your tears. Psalm 56:8 NLT, In Jere 30:17 He (God) promises to restore your health and heal your wounds.
Still, some of us haven't learned yet, because after God heals us...Some of us go back into the same relationship re-infecting the wound, the hurt, hanging with the same kind of people and find ourselves back in a situation yet again, wasting time like Jonah running in the wrong direction, when what God has for us is over here, not there.
And if it's not there....Then guess what? You shouldn't be either. God says, Stop wasting time, gather up what's left over and move on. Stop re-infecting the wound after I have healed you. Let nothing be wasted...Amen.
Until Next Sunday.

Many of you have things that you're holding inside, secrets that you have hidden to the point that you just can't anymore.
For somebody it has been 3 months, somebody else...It's been 3 years or more.
If Moses' mother were here now, she could relate because she did the exact same thing, but with good reason.She kept him (Moses) inside for 3 months. But when she could no longer keep him hidden....
Exodus Chapter 2 (CEV)
Now, It might not be a child or a pregnancy you're hiding....Or is it?
But you're hidden something and whatever it is...It's getting harder to hold inside, it's getting bigger and harder to hide.
Maybe, like Moses' mother, you too had a good reason for doing what you did at the time...But beloved, It's time you confessed (owned up to whatever it is). So that you can heal physically, mentally, and emotionally and I pray your confession is met with forgiveness, with arms of forgiveness. The same way the Prodigal Son's father forgave him for leaving pre-maturely and doing the things he did. I pray you are forgiven for willingfully withholding information from those who needed to know.... BUT ONLY FROM THOSE WHO NEEDED TO KNOW.
Luke 15:11-20 NIV
I pray you finally are comfortable enough to tell the whole truth and not fear any backlash....The way the woman in Mark 5 told Jesus everything that had happened and Jesus ended up calling it all an act of faith, on her part.
Finally, I pray you be able to keep track of what's going on with you emotionally and stop feeling like you're about to lose it, lose control at any time.

"The Power Your Life Needs"
The bible says: Death and life are in the power of the tongue.
Proverbs 18:21
SOMEBODY: The power your life needs is in your tongue.
Perhaps, Nothing is happening for you because your tongue has become stagnant to the amazing opportunities God has for you in this life. So, because you can't see things moving, changing for the better...You refuse to say any thing at all.
But still, the fact remains: The power your life needs is in your tongue. You shall have whatsoever you say. Mark 11:24
Boy, Do Mariam and I have a testimony about the power of words and having what you say...
Everybody the photo attached to this post is of a then 6 year old, Mariam from Ghana. She just recently became my sponsored child, making her number 6 of those I currently sponsor.
But how she became my sponsored child when it appeared...SHE ALREADY HAD A SPONSOR??? Pay attention to this: I saw this beautiful child for the 1st time on Facebook, when World Vision sent her and some others across my newsfeed.
Instantly, I loved her and I just wanted the chance to tell her how beautiful, I think she is. I just wanted to be the one to pour into her life. I saw her on Facebook the night of June 30th. I called World Vision the next morning July 1. They searched and I re-search for her, but it seemed she had a sponsor and was no longer in the system.
Still every day, I checked and I prayed: "Lord, Back that sponsor (those sponsors) off. Re-route them, let them go sponsor another child."... I kept praying that EVERY DAY, speaking it under my breath. That was July 1st, by July 3rd, she became available for sponsorship again and I became her sponsor on July 5th.
I share this testimony to let SOMEBODY know: There's power in your words, you have the power to re-route that situation, you have the power in Jesus name to back some people off and get what you want.
The power your life needs is in your tongue. Amen! 🎤
And just in case, Mariam's beautiful face has inspired you to become a SPONSOR....A child in need needs you.
