"Be Merciful & Fair"

Make allowance for each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others.

Colossians 3:13 NLT

Beloved, Don't be the only one allowed to mess up, but allow others room to mess up without being judged for their faults. Look at them the same way, you would look at yourself and forgive.

Forgive because you're no better than that other person, but that other person is just as good as YOU.

Remember that‼

Forgive especially because you remember a time when you, yourself needed to be forgiven.

If Jesus from The Cross could ask the Father to forgive those that hurt him....Then why can't you forgive those who offended you?

Luke 23:34

What they did or said that offended you is nothing when compared to what Jesus suffered on The Cross. Jesus died so that you could have access to the power needed through Him to forgive. You can do ALL (all means all) things through Christ who strengthens you.  Philip 4:13

AND still, According to 1 John 4:17 NIV:

In this world we are like Jesus meaning we will be hurt sometimes, talked about sometimes etc. But still we are like Him, like Jesus in the sense that we are BIGGER that all of that. 

Therefore, Rise above it, BELOVED...Don't be selfish only making allowance (or room) for your mistakes, but judging others for their faults. Instead, Be Merciful & Fair!

Until Next Sunday.

"Tempted"

Jesus tempted in the wilderness after  40 days & 40 nights of fasting...Hungry, still he resisted by telling the devil what's written.

Read: Matthew 4:1‭-‬11 NIV

BELOVED, It's so important that you in this season line your mouth up with the Word of God...You must know what is written and how to apply what is written to your situation. 

Even Jesus being hungry and in the wilderness knew that if he wanted to survive the devil's temptations..He had to line his mouth up with the Word of God and tell the devil, "It Is Written."

Over and over again, in Matthew 4 Jesus just kept telling the devil, "It Is Written and quoting scripture at him. You would think the devil was hard of hearing or something. 

But that's not it...He was trying to wear Jesus out mentally until he had no more comebacks, wear him out physically, knowing that Jesus was hungry and possibly at his weakest from having not eaten in 40 days & 40 nights.

And the devil's game plan is the same for you...He's trying to wear you out mentally until you have no more comebacks. He knows you're the weakest you've been in a long time right now.

But God...His strength is made perfect in weakness. Thefore, you're in the perfect position right now to give God glory for what he's about to do in your life, for all the things you are not strong enough to do right now, still it's getting done.

But God...Greater is he that's in YOU than he that is in the World. The temper is in the world, temptations are in the world. Yet, this verse implies that still there is someone greater; someone who is omnipresent with you EVERYWHERE you are (No matter where that place is) and He in YOU (which is an added bonus). 

1 John 4:4, 2 Corin 12:9 NKJ

So, Hear Me: You don't have to be defeated....You can overcome that temptation, you can overcome that weakness. You can overcome the wilderness you're in right now. 

It Is Written that after Jesus finished telling the devil off, telling him what is wrtten...Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended him....WHICH IS MY PRAYER for you. 

Matthew 4:11 NIV

DEVIL FLEE...ANGELS COME, ATTEND!!! IN JESUS NAME. AMEN 🙏

Until Next Sunday.

"Do It For Yourself "

Think how you have instructed many, how you have strengthened feeble hands.  Your words have supported those who stumbled; you have strengthened faltering knees.  But now trouble comes to you, and you are discouraged; it strikes you, and you are dismayed.

Job 4:3‭-‬5 NIV

Perhaps, there are no truer words to describe how you have been an excellent support system for everybody else, how you have given everybody else great advice, instructing them in the way to go, in what to do.

You solved their problems to best of your ability.  You were there for them when they were going through and you were glad to be of help to them.

But now, that the shoe is on the other foot and you are the one going through, you are feeling discouraged, somewhat dismayed.

BELOVED, Why is it you can show up for everybody else, be their support system, their problem solver....

But not do the same for yourself?

That is so ONE-SIDED...It's time you were there for YOURSELF, every bit as much as you would be for EVERYBODY else. It's time you took your own advice. You know, all that great advice you've given...It's take you took some of that, and applied it to your situation.

You see, real self-care means being there for YOU, showing up  for YOU, being able to depend on you...And there's nothing wrong with that, because YOU can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens you.  Philip 4:13

LET'S JUST  BE HONEST: A lot of times, self-care is better than waiting on others to care...Even those you've helped, you've supported, you've advised over the years may not be there in return when you need them....  But that's nothing new. Remember, the bible says, There is nothing new under the sun.

Eccles 1:9

THINK ABOUT THIS...

Jesus taught the disciples how to pray., but when he needed them to keep watch with him & pray...They fell asleep.

Luke 11, Matt 26:36-43 NIV

"So, What's Next?"

In Nehemiah Chapter 1: God put  a burden on Nehemiah's heart to go to Jerusalem and rebuild the wall. We see him in Chapter 1 praying it through.  By the end of the prayer, we see him asking God for favor with his employer who was yet to be informed of his plans.

In  Chapter 2: God gave Nehemiah favor with his employer (The King). By Chapter 6: The work on the wall was in ful operation and here comes opposition, but what I love is that Nehemiah didn't allow opposition from the enemy to stop what God called him to do.

A Word 4 Somebody: All opposition is, is push back from the enemy, is the enemy pushing back. The same way, your natural human reflects would push back someone who pushed you.

Still, Nehemiah didn't stop. He didn't know what was next, he only knew for now that's what God had him doing and he was going to work it to the best of his ability. 

SOMEBODY: So, stop worrying about what's next, and work what you know God told you to do. If he told you to sing, sing to the best of your ability, if he told you, to stay up interceding for different parts of the world, do it. If he told you to write a book, start an online business etc, do it! 

Your job is not to try and figure out what's next...In the words of Jesus's Mother: Whatever he tells you to do, do it!  That's your job. John 2:5 NIV

So what, if you don't know what's next...Do what's now, what's right there in front of you now. Be obedient and do the things before you that you've left unfinished. 

Notice: Nehemiah didn't leave anything unfinished....Before he traveled to Jerusalem to rebuild the wall, he made sure everything was good with his employer.

Beloved, you can't just leave one position for another without permission, without favor....You can't just up and leave things unfinished.

Finish what you started.

Stay sensitive like Nehemiah to areas where you feel a burden, a call on your heart....And one step will lead you to taking another step. All things work together. It's like a puzzle being put together. Rom 8:28

Eventually, You will see  your next as the picture unfolds 1st in your Spirit...Then IN your life.

"Fight The Fight"

I say these words to everyone in a battle you didn't ask for, you didn't want, you didn't even see it coming, but yet here you are...Fighting the fight up close and personal.

You see, David when you think about it in 1 Samuel 17: He was in control of the situation with Goliath the whole time; even though he was younger and smaller in size. Still, he was in control of that big giant known as Goliath.

David was in control because his was a battle, was a fight he chose to be in, he wanted to be in....UNLIKE many of you reading this, David asked for what had come upon him, he wanted it. So he could get the chance to whip Goliath for how he had disrespected the Army of The Living God.

And whipped him, he did...God got glory out of David's victory that day.

BELOVED,  I know right now....You can't see anything good coming out of that battle, out that fight. You can't even began to imagine how God could any glory out of that messy situation. 

May I remind you that ALL things; not some things, but ALL things work together for the good...Rom 8:28

May I also show you in scripture that David credited God for getting him out a messy situation too...Understandably so, every situation is not a pretty situation, but God.

David wrote: I give you all the credit, God — you got me out of that mess, you didn’t let my foes gloat.

Psalm 30:1 MSG

David goes on to write: God, my God, I yelled for help and you put me together. God, you pulled me out of the grave, gave me another chance at life when I was down-and-out.

Psalm 30:2‭-‬3 MSG

Sounds like David would later be in a battle, in a fight far worse than the one everybody knew about with Goliath.

He just didn't see Goliath as that big of a problem. If he could whip a lion & a bear, he could whip Goliath.

So I say to SOMEBODY: Forget what everybody knows..You're not trying to glamorize this moment, glamorize this season, you're just trying to get through it. 

Let God get the glory in due time, because there will be a story, a testimony IN IT ALL. Continue to lean on Him for help...and keep fighting. Don't quit! Fight the fight, the good fight of faith. 1 Tim 6:12 KJV

Until Next Sunday.

"Where Are You, God?"

Why, Lord , do you stand far off? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?

Psalms 10:1 NIV

I know many of you feel that God is being stand offish especially in this season...

May I remind you that God does not run from trouble, nor does he hide himself in times of trouble. But it's  just the opposite, God is an ever present help in times of trouble...

Meaning he's always present in times of trouble, making Himself available to help you.

God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble.

Psalms 46:1 NKJV

So, if He feels stand offish right now in the midst of your trouble...

What if I told you, it's because God wants you to seek him, go after him the way you would seek out any other relationship you're seriously interested in building, seriously interested in strengthening?

But if from there you seek the Lord your God, you will find him if you seek him with all your heart and with all your soul.

Deuteronomy 4:29 NIV

From the CEV the  bible 📖 says: 

In all of your troubles, you may finally decide that you want to worship only the Lord . And if you turn back to him and obey him completely, he will again be your God.

Deuteronomy 4:29‭-‬30 CEV

SOMEBODY: You see, Up until Now...God has been too easy. You didn't really have to seek him (all that much), he was just there, but in Him just being there...It has become hard (for you) to gauge the compacity of your heart for Him.

Do you still love Him as much as you used to or do you desperately need to return to your 1st love? Return to the way you used to love God...Because that's what God is...

God is a relationship, not a religion.

●The person of God is JESUS.

●The voice of God, His likes & dislikes is The Word of God.

●And finally the power you need to sustain you, to sustain the relationship is the Holy Spirit. 

Remember, You can learn to know God (for real), if you want to. Jere 9:24 ERV

"Disabling The Weakest Links"

"Disabling The Weakest Links"

They laughed at Jesus because he said what they're eyes couldn't see...That the little girl actually was not dead, but asleep. So he put them out, and got her parents and three of his disciples and went in to perform the MIRACLE from which he had spoken.

Mark 5:38‭-‬42 NIV

BELOVED,  They laughed at Jesus for his faith, so expect them to do the same to you without hesitation. 

THEREFORE, To keep your atmosphere charged with faith....Keep closest to you those who have faith BOTH in God and faith in you. Eliminate or remove any weak links from your inner circle that's breaking the flow of faith in your life.

That's what Jesus did...He knew he had to do something drastic to disable the weak links present at Jairus's house that day....Because faith cannot be linked to negativity and still be expected to work, not even Jesus' faith.

And some of ya'll, you are linked to people who only know how to be nagative....and as a result you're finding yourself struggling in areas where you once had faith.

You're struggling because faith is always supposed to be in the "NOW," in the present tense. The bible says: NOW faith is....Not that it was, but it is. Hebrews 11:1 NKJ

Sadly though, because of your connection to some negative people....The faith you had for certain things has been forced into the background, forced into the past.

So, you know what you need to do?

SOMEBODY: It's time to identify  the weakest links in your inner circle and remove them.  It's not personal, it's neccessary.  You can be STRONG in faith again, just eliminate who you need to eliminate. 

Notice: In Mark 5....Jesus only kept close to him, the girl's parents and three of his disciples...Those who were biologically tied to the moment, and those he had trained for the moment.

Selah- Pause & Think About That!

Until Next Sunday.
