"The One Who Remains"

Now Bethany was less than two miles from Jerusalem, and many Jews had come to Martha and Mary to comfort them in the loss of their brother. When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went out to meet him, but Mary stayed at home. “Lord,” Martha said to Jesus, “if you had been here, my brother would not have died.

John 11:18‭-‬21 NIV

It's hard when you're the one left to pick up the pieces, when  you're the one expected to live on, to go on, it's hard when you are the one, remaining.

Mary & Martha along with their brother, Lazarus were 3 siblings and as the saying goes, “A rope made from three strands of cord is hard to break.”

Ecclesiastes 4:12 CEV

At least, that's the way it used to be UNTIL death came and took Lazarus away, making him the 1st to go, weakening their rope. 

And so, the same rope, that once represented the strength of their bond as siblings now has the ones who remain (Martha & Mary) in a chokehold...

Because now it represents the grief, represents the tears, represents the memories that have become bitter-sweet.

To Anyone who has loss someone you love; sibling or otherwise and you are the one that remains: PLEASE KNOW THAT YOU ARE NOT ALONE OR ON YOUR OWN.

Just as Jesus was there in Daniel 3 with the Hebrew Boys and kept the fire from consuming them...He is there with you now, grief will not consume you.

Even though, Your heart is broken and you feel like life has kicked you in the gut.

God is there.The pain won't win. Grief won't be all you have left. 

Psalms 34:18 MSG

"Let Life Back In" 

When he came to his senses, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have food to spare, and here I am starving to death! I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired servants.’ So he got up and went to his father...

Luke 15:17‭-‬20 NIV

Beloved,

I thank God for you coming to your senses, and for all the ideas, and the strategies that's running around in your head now (as a result of you coming to your senses).

But in order for things to change and NOT remain the same EVEN after you've come to your senses...You must get up!!

Take the cover out from over your head, open the blinds and let life back in...You've been isolated long enough.

Yes, You messed up, but now it's time to get up...

You can't just think about it, you must do it!!

When the Prodigal Son realized how much better his life could be, how much better his life used to be...He got up and went to his father.

His father didn't come to him which means you can't wait for someone else to be your answer, you can't wait to see what someone else is going to do.

You must get up and do it yourself, do it for yourself. 

God has given you your health  and strength, and has kept you in your right mind so that you can help yourself.

There's a scripture in the bible that says, YOU shall decide, YOU shall decree a thing...

Job 22:28 AMPC

YOU...

YOU can do it. YOU can change your life for the better.

YOU don't have to keep settling for less just because you made a mistake.

Until Next Sunday.

"The Ungrateful"

Jesus continued: There was a man who had two sons. The younger one said to his father, ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.’ So he divided his property between them.

Luke 15:11‭-‬12 NIV

Imagine the child you have provided for all these years, standing in your face asking you for their share of the estate.

Imagine how you would feel, if you knew your child couldn't wait for you to die so that they could inherit your estate (inherit your money, your property, etc.)

The Prodigal Son's father had to be extremely hurt...KNOWING the son he raised was now disrespecting him over some money. He couldn't wait until his father was deceased to collect. He wanted it all NOW!! 

But still, His father sucked it up, hid his hurt and gave his child what he wanted.

To All the parents out there, hiding the hurt, sucking it up, trying to please a UNGRATEFUL child... 

God sees what it's doing to your heart.1 Samuel16:7

But let them grow up, let them go off on their own.

Once they've had a taste of the real world...They will come to their senses just like The Prodigal Son did.

He came to his senses after  he had spent all he had and was hungry, working at a job that was beneath him.

 So, He said, I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you.I am no longer worthy to be called your son.... 

Luke 15:18-19 NIV

He came back repenting and your ungrateful child will too, eventually...Eventually they will realize just how good they had it  and seek to make things right.  

Until Next Sunday.

"The Wounds"

For I will restore health to you And heal you of your wounds,’ says the Lord, ‘Because they called you an outcast...

Jeremiah 30:17 NKJV

God says, He's going to heal you because of what they said about you!!

Because they called you an outcast...

Because they called you a failure....

Because they called you a loser....

Because they called a good for nothing B...

God is going to heal your wounds.

The wounds you received growing up in your parents house, the wounds you received in that toxic relationship, the wounds you received in that marriage that was unequally yoked.

God is going to heal all your wounds...God is going to heal all the damage the words of their mouth has caused you.

You see, right now, they look at you and they don't understand why you act "a certain way" around them.

They don't understand that seeing them is a trigger.

They don't understand that hearing their voice is a trigger.

They don't understand the wounds you have suffered.

But Jesus understands. 

Jesus understands because He had to go over to the house where Thomas was staying and show him His wounds in order for him to believe.

John 20:26-28 NLT

Beloved,

They don't believe what you're going through or have been through...God will have to show them evidence of what they caused. Otherwise, they won't believe you.

Maybe one day, but today, right now...YOU ARE GOD'S 1ST priority and He is going to get you healed because of what they said about you.

Receive your healing. In Jesus name!!

Until Next Sunday.

"The Enemy Is Defeated"

Sometimes the enemy will use something so petty in an attempt to come between you and that other person.

But when you can take what was so petty and make it no big deal....The enemy is defeated.

Remember the bible asks the question: 

Do two walk together unless they have agreed to do so?

Amos 3:3 NIV

So, When you can keep it moving DESPITE the attacks that has come to try to stop you from moving forward, stop you from walking together in unity...The enemy is defeated.

In Acts 15: Barnabas and Paul separated over the role Mark should play when they decided to return to the places where they had preached the gospel. Barnabas wanted to take Mark on the journey, but Paul was convinced this was not a good idea because Mark had abandoned them during their first journey. 

Acts 15:36-41 NIV

Even if you have to separate from that other person for a season for the sake of ministry, business, or your own personal goals, personal choices...

If that's the decision you have to make to keep it moving and not let the enemy defeat you.

So, Be It. 

All break ups are not bad, some are purposeful, some are pre-approved, pre-destined so that you can keep it moving, unhindered doing the will of The Father. 

Selah-Pause & Think About That!!

Until Next Sunday.
