DON'T FORGET

As the summer break is coming to an end, I thought of the many teachers, who had influenced my life. I must admit I was not the student who didn't talk in class or follow all the instructions. I can never forget the teachers and the bus drivers, cafeteria workers,secretary's, principles and the janitors, who all had an impact on my life. Who had an impact on your Life? Don't just shrug it off, but find a special way this week to thank them. I want to thank them through praying for them.


Father in the Name of Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior, I thank you for the teachers who have made a decision to teach our children at home or the public setting. I ask for their protection and safety as they do your assignment. I thank you Lord that this school year will be one of their best years. I ask you Father to strengthen them when they are weak and tired. infuses them with witty ideas on how to teach each individual child. Father in the Name of Jesus I ask you to bless them as they strive to teach children, who come from so many diverse background, give them wisdom and knowledge beyond their natural capabilities, on how to deal with every circumstance that, they may face this year, cause them to hear their students and their students to hear them, use their hands as instrument of healing, use their mouths as instrument of blessings and encouragement to all students and fellow co-workers. Let each teacher, life at home be like heaven on earth, bless their finaces and keep them forever in Jesus Name. Amen What would you like to say to the teachers?

PERFECT MONEY FOR PERFECT LIFE

Have you ever walked into a store and you see the perfect dress, or the perfect shoes? and you think to yourself wow. I really need this outfit and the cost out match whats in your budget. Well I have done this more times, then I can think of. and I truly hate to think of the times. I made the purchase or spent the money on items, that became not so perfect when they arrived at my address.

Well in life when we make the decision to buy perfect things that don't match, the hour for our lives, we learn to live in a season of out of allotment. During my reading time, I was reading in the book of Proverb, and I came across some scripture that really help me to take a long look at my perfect life ( Yea right). Before I can go on any further, I must admit that I am a tither to the place where I get my feeding from spiritually, and a giver to God,of my time, talent and treasures to his people. I did not say to my church people alone. So with that fact mention, We can now move on to a very sensitive topic for most people today..........Their Perfect money, money.


Prosperity- In todays church world, all we ever hear, is that God has called us all to be millionaires, I love to break the news to you, NOT SO for all, why lets look at Proverb 30:7-9(NKJ)


7 Two things I request of You (Deprive me not before I die): 8 Remove falsehood and lies far from me; Give me neither poverty nor riches— Feed me with the food allotted to me; 9 Lest I be full and deny You, And say, “Who is the LORD?” Or lest I be poor and steal, And profane the name of my God.


God has a given allotment for us all, Have you ever thought to say unto the Lord, Give me only my allotment in this life, Because God knows if you can handle a million or ten cents. Everything in our lives could be based on the 3 scriptures above if we would only apply, the allotment factor to our lives. Lord who have you allotted me to minister your word on today? What is my allottment as it relates to my career,family, church? The list could go on and on. God has provided everything that pertains to life and Godliness for us, the probelm is that we want what has not been allotted to us. Some will read this article and say, I am going to be a millionaire, despite what you say, I say go for it, if it is your allottment. God is trying to get us to understand what his true perfect riches are, that is simply the Love of God, being spread and shared with others not the amount of money, that we can heap our way and show the world how much greater faith, I have than you!!! Through the purchase of more and more and bigger and bigger things. If your allotment is for you to have great spending power, Ask yourself for What? Well their you a have a brief summary of my Prosperity Message, according to the book of Acts when true money prosperity exsit, none would lack, Over the years I have seen this message lead very anointed men and women of God to a spirit of Pride.

I have known people to give their last dime, and then ask me to pray that they can pay their car note, which was in default prior to giving their last, thats not true prosperity that is what the old folks call robbing Peter to pay Paul, God is not looking for you to default on your responsibility to your creditors remeber you made the agreement and God expect you to fulfill your committment.Let me add this in unless the Lord tells you to give your last dime, then God is obligated to return the seed sown, At his choosen time, not because someone, who can speak elqouent words and play on your emotions. What has happen to the wisdom of God in the body of Christ? It could be called what is said in the book of Proverb the Foolishness of God.So what am I saying today, learn how to live in whatsoever state you find your self in, stop looking for the perfect outfit of life, It does not exsit, you are wasting precious and valuable allottment time, talent and treasures on things God has not called us to.

YELLOW BUS

Life today is filled with so many planned and unplanned activities, until we miss the simply things in life. Do you remember the excitment you felt as a child waiting on the big yellow bus for the first time in your life? I was waiting with anticipation and expectation, not knowing at all what the big yellow bus would entail for my life, all I knew that my life was about to change, no longer would I be just Daddy's little girl, I would be now entering into the world of big girls and big boys.



It was quiet interesting the very first steps me and my grandmother took as we walked to the bus stop. I wanted to scream please don't let me go, I guess she saw the expression on my face and then she spoke, you will be fine you are a big girl now, and I will be here to help you on the bus, Isn't our Lives with Christ the same, no matter what bus in life is awaiting us, Christ expects us to have a heart to trust him inspite of what all of our emotions and circumstances tells us, and as he leds us to the very point of entrance in todays journey and he then tells us who we are and reassures us that he will always be there for us. So today I challenge you to lean forward and expect the bus of life to come your way full of other little girls and boys who, have been told that they are big boys and girls now.



Scipture for today Proverb 3 :5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart, and lean not to your own understanding and in all thy ways acknowledge him and he shall direct your paths(Many they be)
