Mothers

Happy Mother’s Day to all of you who have been blessed to become MOTHERS. Oh what a great gift we have been given. Now it is our privilege to raise these children. The Bible tells us in Proverbs 22:6 Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it. My, My, My, that is an amazing promise.

As parents we: influence and impart into their lives we also instruct them. Let us not take for granted this wonderful gift and let’s treasure it. Let’s unite and raise the next God revering children that will carry the Gospel to the world. I count it all joy to raise my boys.

I pray and ask God to Bless and strengthen you as parents. I pray that divine instruction be imparted into you so that you are well able to instruct your children. Thank you Lord for the favor shield that surrounds our children, In Jesus name.

True Elevation

God has a better plan for you than you can even imagine. I was reading in Act ch 6 this morning where the 12 disciples of Jesus were in need of someone to step in and handle the business of the ministry. The 12 needed help…someone to serve. The requirements of the 7 individuals needed for service, were men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost, and Wisdom. The 7 were chosen and of the 7, 2 stood out the more. Phillip and Steven although qualified for service and served well they had extra. Man chose them to serve but God chose them to win souls.

If you read the accounts of Stephen and Phillip you will see great exploits for the LORD. These men were chosen to serve and in their service and commitment to the cause GOD elevated them. They remained humble and faithful and HOLY. God had a better plan for their lives.

God has a better plan for your life as well. God can choose you, fill you with the His Spirit, and elevate you to a place where healing and salvation is the ministry you steward. Oh, how marvelous to be in His will and plan for our lives. Ask God for those qualifications: honest report, full of the Holy Spirit and Wisdom then remain humble and faithful and watch God himself elevate you.

Between Called and Chosen

A lot goes on between being called and being chosen. I want to give you 3 keys you need to succeed in this process.
1. Attitude 2. Preparation 3. Endurance    Matthew 22:14  King James Version (KJV) 14 For many are called, but few are chosen.

These 3 keys will guide you on your pre-ordained journey by GOD.  You must have the right attitude especially when dealing with people.  So often people will talk you right out of your GOD given Destiny.  You must remain focused and on the path that GOD has for you. Do not be swayed by distractions set up to stop you.  Stay positive, speak positive, and fellowship with like minded people.

Preparation can be a hard task master but the outcome is well worth it..  It is in the making where you will be tried and tested.  In the preparation process you will learn how to move and operate in your calling.  Although you are pre-ordained to your calling you will still have to be trained and taught. Be willing to learn and ask Holy Spirit for help because Holy Spirit is the Teacher of all things.  Ask Holy Spirit for the right teacher in the natural as well.  Also be open to correction….with correction comes growth.

Lastly, but not least Endurance.  You will have to be willing to go the long haul.  Your journey may not be easy or short but it can be obtained.  For we are more than conquerors and you Destiney is for you to conqueror. Hebrews 10:35-36 Amplified Bible (AMP)35 Do not, therefore, fling away your fearless confidence, for it carries a great and glorious compensation of reward. 36 For you have need of steadfast patience and endurance, so that you may perform and fully accomplish the will of God, and thus receive and [a]carry away [and enjoy to the full] what is promised.

Oh that Glorious moment when you go from being called to being Chosen.  (PTL)

Procrastination

Procrastination – the action of delaying or postponing something: to be slow or late about doing something that should be done : to delay doing something until a later time because you do not want to do it: because you are lazy: to put off intentionally and habitually: to put off intentionally the doing of something that should be done…

Synonyms:      Deferment, Postponement, Stalling, Delay, Adjournment, Putting Off….

No matter how you dress it up with another synonyms Procrastination is just plain ugly.  This has been a struggle for me for a long time.  Just admitting it emits different emotions…

  • relieved that I said aloud
  • ashamed that it has been a struggle
  • angry that I had not mastered this thing

But GOD…He has placed many people in my Life to provide the push I needed to move.  In some areas I am moving full speed ahead you know that comfort zone we can move in with ease.  It is in the unknown that I have faltered.  The Big Thing that God has required me to do. The thing I have very little control of once it’s out there. I have had 2 books sitting in my computer for years, yes years and out of fear of the unknown or possible rejection weather it is real are all in my mind I did not move.

But GOD in His infinite wisdom knew I would come to the end of myself and ultimately do what He wanted me to do.  Once I had enough, of letting my insecurities, past disappointments, the enemy or any other thing that kept me from moving forward I would publish these books.  So now that I have publicly announced that I will publish these books you and I can look forward to their release in the very near future. I do Thank the Lord for this journey and His Faithfulness.
