"Knowing Your Worth, Getting What You're Due"

She danced because it was her gift, but she didn't know her own worth, AND because she didn't know her own worth....Her mother took it as an opportunity to settle a grudge she had against John The Baptist.

Read HER story in: 

Matthew 14:1-12 NIV

BELOVED, It's so important that you know your own worth. Don't just dance, don't just sell your gift, don't just sell your product, or service without knowing your worth, without  knowing the worth , the real value of what you're offering. 

Herodias' daughter didn't  know her own worth, nor did she know the worth, the value of her gift. Therefore, she danced simply because she LOVED to dance, and she ended up trading her gift NOT FOR INCOME ( not for what it was worth), but for something DUMB. (Thanks to her mother).

A Word 4 SOMEBODY: DON'T LOVE WHAT YOU DO SO MUCH, THAT YOU MISS OUT ON WHAT YOU'RE DUE. 

When you're payday final comes for that thing you love to do and do so well...But careful NOT to listen to that person who is a KNOWN "trouble-maker" within the family, those known to hold a grudge and are SELFISH and not a team player because they will use your payday, your big moment as their opportunity to get something they want.

Instead, Pray about it and Trust God. Trust your God-given instincts, if you're female...Trust your intuition after you have prayed about it. 

Because the bible does say, It's God who teaches you to PROFIT (not family, not  friends etc., but GOD; he teaches you).

Isaiah 48:17-18 AMP

In 2020, The LORD is your  shepherd you shall lack nothing....Take the time to know yourself and your worth (from God's perspective) and get ready to receive that same level of quantity in  income for your gift, your product, your service. Psalm 23:1 NIV

Amen

Until Next Sunday.

"Back To Jesus, Back To Family"

Now a man who was lame from birth was being carried to the temple gate called Beautiful, where he was put every day to beg from those going into the temple courts.

Acts 3:2 NIV

BELOVED, The circumstances of this man's life was anything, but beautiful.  Be careful not to allow this Christmas season to put you in the lame position of begging, like this man was begging.  Begging ( it seemed) was this man's only way (in the text) of making ends meet. He knew no other way, this was his daily routine. 

It was his daily routine, but it doesn't have to become a way of life for you. Begging for money, borrowing  money, promising to pay it back, robbing Peter to pay Paul. None of that has to be your reality this Christmas season just to buy a few gifts... A few gifts that might very well get exchanged the next shopping day.

If Christmas really is about Jesus and celebrating His Birthday.... You must remember that before Jesus was able to give anybody, anything materialistic, he came as a baby and gave them His presence. The wise men brought him gifts, but really they were just overjoyed to be in His Presence. 

When  they saw the star, they were overjoyed. On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

Matthew 2:10-11 NIV

Those of you with young children...Honestly,  I've seen them  play  with a box on Christmas morning and be just as happy and content, because all they really wanted was your presence, your time spent with them, doing whatever their young imaginations can find to get into....AND BOY, CAN THEY GET INTO SOME STUFF.

So, This  Christmas season please don't get yourself trapped in debt, weighed down by gifts you can't afford. Offer them your presence. That's what Jesus did. That's what Jesus would do. Presence over Presents. Make the season really count for something speacial. Bring the focus back to Jesus, back to family.

Until Next  Sunday. 

Merry Christmas Everybody  ☃️

"He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not"

I'm always amazed (even after, all these years of being single) at the games people play when it comes to love. And no, it's not just the men, because females play games too.

So much so, many of you right now, currently have a relationship status, a marriage status that is complicated. All the games do, the mind games do, all the ultimatums do is complicate what was meant to be a beautiful expression of God himself played out in the lives of two individuals who have chosen to be as one and commit to marriage. It's an expression of God himself because God is love.

1 John 4:7-8 NIV

God is love, true...But still, you don't know, if you can really rely on your financee, rely on your husband, rely on your wife etc., to show you God's unconditional, agape love when you need him or her to take a step back and do just that...Just do it! So, you're confused about the future of the relationship, confused about the future of the marriage.

His love is not reliable, and maybe, her love is not reliable either...But God!

God has proven himself to you more times than you'd care to count. He has remained faithful to you, even when you were not faithful to yourself or to your needs. He has not run out on you (like some others have done). Instead, God has been right there with you the whole time, whether you chose to acknowledge his presence or not. He's an EVER-Present help in trouble; in a  troubled relationship, a troubled marriage, etc., trouble is trouble. God is there...Even if, it feels like you've made your bed in hell. God is there. God's love is reliable; his or her love may not be reliable based on everything they've put you through. But God...And so, we KNOW and RELY on the love God has for us. (God's love, not the love of people). 

1 John 4:16 NIV, Psalm 46:1 NIV,

Psalm 139:8 NKJ

Until Next Sunday.

"Using What's On Hand"

In 1 Kings 17 we read about a widow who didn't have time to properly prepare for her houseguest.

So, by the time, Elijah shows up at her house, and asked for a piece of bread...She has nothing in the house, but a handful of flour and a little olive oil in a jug and even if, she would've had time to properly prepare, she still wouldn't have had the money needed to cover the cost of a few groceries, because all she had went into cooking her and her son's last meal and dying. That was her mindset.

How many of you know, sometimes it's too costly to go to the store, especially when you're already not in the best place mentally and/or financially? Sometimes you actually do better just using what you have on hand.

How many of you know, you can do a lot with just that jar of olive oil alone? With one jar of olive oil, you can make bread, anoint your forehead, and moisturize your skin (if no lotion is available) and the text says, she had olive oil and flour.

Here she was using what she had on hand to feed Elijah 1st, then her and her son. After which, because she obeyed and brought Elijah a piece of bread 1st from the little she had...The bible says, There was food every day for Elijah and for the woman and her family. GOD HAD MADE A WAY.

SOMEBODY: GOD IS UP TO SOMETHING EVEN IN MIDST OF YOUR CURRENT LACK.

Don't tell me what the oil (the anointing) won't do. BELOVED, In 2020 opportunities are going to come so fast that you may not have time or money to properly prepare.  It will be a test of your faith, just like the widow in 1 Kings 17 her faith was tested, and reluctantly, afraid even, she decided against her better judgment (it seemed) to put Elijah's needs 1st before the needs of her and her son. Some might have called her a bad mother in that moment, but still. You will be tested and have to use what you have on hand and trust God for the rest, just like she did...And when you do, the supernatural will be released and the oil won't run dry (there will be no lack) in keeping with the word of the LORD.

Until Next Sunday.
