Good afternoon and Happy Tuesday. Brand new week. Brand new attitude. The past is the past. The future is unlimited. As we continue in the month of Favor in September based on Exodus 3:19-21, Proverbs 8:32-35 and Luke 2:51-52 I want to talk to those today that are in a position that is not of their own making. We cannot get ahead, see the finish line, and/or receive relief from the pressures we are in because of certain things. Some of us have people that continue to place blame on others because this a convenient way to justify their actions. You have some people who make decisions that benefits themselves but in doing so place others in peril. And then you have those who run roughshod over folk and then laugh at the predicament they have placed them in. These are examples of being placed in a sort jail not of or own doing. But we as people of faith must remember that even though it may not seem possible we have Favor In a Prison ( And More ).
We all are going through some things that seem to be placing us behind bars. There are those of us who stand by what believed are looked to targeted to jail or worse like in 3rd chapter of Esther.
Some of us are telling the truth about things but are placed in a position like in Jeremiah 38:1-13. And then there are those who do not like your message and want to place you in prison to silence you like in Acts 9:23-25. But despite all of these things God grants Favor even In a Prison.
In going to the Word of God for this teaching of Favor In Prison I go Genesis 39:19-20. In this passage after Joseph is accused of messing with the Potiphar (Genesis 39:7-18 ) he was sent to a jail.
Through not fault of his own did Joseph deserve to be in a prison. The actions of another caused him to be put in this position. Some people are in a position like this but please know there is Favor In a Prison ( And More ).
In going to the Word of God I continue in Genesis 39:21-22 for this teaching on Favor In a Prison. Joseph is now in prison but God has provided a show of mercy and has given him Favor. Some folks
think that decisions such as denial of benefits, job loss and or a mortgage not being paid has placed in a prison that we cannot escape. But God will provide mercy and favor when all else seems to fail. Favor In a Prison ( And More).
In going to the Word of God to finish this teaching of Favor In a Prison I go Genesis 39:23. In this verse it tells that even though in a prison, Joseph was able to prosper. Though some may be running
roughshod over you God will allow you to prosper. To grow that business, to begin that social media site, to have an impact of family, education and government. To make a difference in the area of religion and to have your play or spoken word dreams come true. Favor In a Prison ( And More).
In closing God is there always. No matter whose actions, or decisions or who may seem to be doing us wrong, he is there. And although we can expect favor he also provides mercy and makes all that we do prosper. I am not one to blow my own horn but I am a witness. Favor In a Prison ( And More ). I ask God to bless all those who may read this and of course I give him all the glory and honor. Please join me Saturday for a teaching based on the second base scripture, Proverbs 8:32-35. Have a great week.
Good morning and Happy Monday. Brand new week. Brand new attitude. The past is the past. The future is unlimited. This past month I was riding with my friend Angela Francis. On this particular day she had to go get her hair done and her friend Roxanne' shop. I had done this numerous times in the past so when I was getting ready to leave I told Angela I was going to the forest preserve to sit and wait as she got her hair done. At the forest preserve I would be able to do two things while I was there. I would be able to think of ideas for my blog, my radio show and my daily postings on Facebook. When you attempt to write you sometimes get writer's block and need to get to a different atmosphere ( Hmmm Writer's Block may be a blog soon LOL ). The other reason I wanted to go to the forest preserve is because it was hot that day and I needed some shade. So as I approached the forest preserve I put on my left turn signal and waited for traffic coming southbound to clear. After
Good morning and Happy Monday. Brand new week. Brand new attitude. The past is the past. The future is unlimited. Growing up we used to love to take pictures. Maybe not myself because I had a self confidence problem, but everywhere you went there was someone taking pictures. In grammar school we took pictures every week. In high school we took them every year. At church we took pictures. In the club we took pictures as a group to show we all went to a party. Most of the pictures we took were with a Polaroid camera which had great quality then. But if you wanted the best pictures you wanted the photographer to take your pictures. This was one of the coolest professions back then because all the ladies who wanted to be models or actresses had to go to the photographer to get that photo to take to the different agencies to show how they look. So in order to get the best quality the photographer had to go someplace where he could get the best results. It was his Dark Room. This is the na
Good morning and Happy Friday. The summer is now beginning and the weather is now reaching its highest temperatures. It has reached a high point of 90's so far in the Chicagoland area and it appears to be nothing in sight to relieve us of these conditions that are almost drought like. As the summer gets ready to start in earnest next week we anticipate the warmest temps of the year after a winter that saw a little snow but the hawk, ( that's what we call the wind in the CHI ) was in full effect. But the sun has been out daily and we need a little moisture in our lives. We expect things to get wet in order for us to not only cool off but to wash away some things and bring a freshness of new things in our lives. The hotness of the weather coincides with the hotness in our lives. We need things to cool off a little bit but need some things to come down so we can enjoy the things in our lives that is promised to us as Christians. We are faithful and trusting in his Word. So as we
