The Breaking of a Champion (Still)

Image
Good morning and Happy Thursday. As we continue in the month of Champions (Still) in October based on Judges 1:2-4, Matthew 21:9-11 and 1st Corinthians 2:10-12 on one day this week I had a dream that I had a visitor come into my home that was uninvited. My son Marvell was there along with my nephew James but this other man I did not know. This man when questioned by me refused to leave and I was beginning to question if I had the strength in me to get this strange man out of my life. To me this was the start of The Breaking of a Champion (Still). As I continued dreaming I could finally get a visual of the man. Although I could not see his face clearly I saw where the man had one good arm and another arm that had a hook attached to it. Each time that I went to talk to the man he got more and more beligerent. I was worried more so about my son and nephew than I was about myself. He just ignored my pleas. He was continuing The Breaking of a Champion (Still). As I come into the

The Gift of a Champion (Still).

Good morning and Happy Saturday, As we continue in the month of Champions (Still) in October based on Judges 1:2-4, Matthew 21:9-11 and 1st Corinthians 2:12-14 on this the 299th of the year most of are already planning what to get others for Christmas. They are looking for that new hottest toy. They are looking for the new electronic gadget. They are looking to get jewelry for that special person. The great thing about being in the Body of Christ is the gift that is given to us when we accept Christ as our Savior and its what makes us Champions. It is the Holy Spirit and it is the Gift of Champion.(Still). We in the Body of Christ are gifted beyond measure. We have something inside that will keep us away from danger, that will guide us in the right direction and that can make situations that much better. I cannot speak for others but I know for a fact that without the presence of the Holy Spirit inside of me, some of the choices I would have made could have been costly. The Gif

The Making of a Champion

Good morning and Happy Thursday. As we continue in the month of Champions (Still) in October based on Judges 1:2-4, Matthew 21:9-11 and 2nd Corinthians 2:10-12 when I was attending Wendell Smith Elementary there was a graduation ceremony when we all reached 8th grade. I attended this school since I was in 5th grade and knew just about all of individuals who were also in 8th grade. One of the last things that the class had to do was give awards and I was voted to be the Most Persuasive. As I grew older I used my persuasive ways to do things such as to get drugs and alcohol, to play tricks with ladies minds, to con others and be a irritant purposely to any and everyone. In other words I was nothing nice. Little did I or any one else know that this was The Making of a Champion. As I was growing up it was not like I was not taught about right or wrong or that I did not know anything about the Trinity. I was baptized and saw what believing could do but I wanted to see what the wil

The Coming of a Champion (Still)

Good morning and Marvelous Monday. Brand new week. Brand new attitude. The past is the past. The future is unlimited. As we continue in the month of Champions (Still) based on Judges 1:2-4, Matthew 21:9-11 and 2nd Corinthians 2:10-12 I happen to stay in Chicago which is the hometown of President Barack Obama. The POTUS is considered to be the leader of the free world. So when President Obama comes home to Chicago he shuts down whole town . The airport shuts down, the highways shutdown and even the crime in the neighborhoods pretty much comes to a halt. We as the Body of Christ need to have the world to see that being connected to Christ means there is The Coming of a Champion (Still). See others should be excited see the members of the Body of Christ coming because they know it is going to be a change in the atmosphere. They know that things such as homelessness, hunger,  unemployment, financial distress and all other negative things are coming to an end. These happen whe

Beyond A Champion (Always).

Good morning and Happy Saturday, As we continue in the month of Champions (Still) in October based on Judges 1:2-4, Matthew 21:9-11 and 2nd Corinthians 2:10-12 as man there are some times when I doubt myself. As I get closer to getting my degree I wonder if it is really worth it at all. The past two years of being connected to some one and now that they are out of my life makes me wonder if I wasted my time. Seeing others prosper while I toil some times for 40 hour straights covering two to three job sites makes me want to go back to my old life. But on yesterday I asked a lady named Danielle if she was a Champion and she said " I Am Beyond a Champion. See even though I am know I'm a Champion the God I serve is Beyond a Champion (Always). In looking at the word beyond I want to share the definition that is found in my source of reference and that is dictionary.com. Beyond means as follows; to the farther side of; outside the understanding of; and superior to, surpassin

Call For a Champion

Good morning and Marvelous Monday. Brand new week. Brand new attitude. The past is the past. The future is unlimited. As we continue in the month of Champions (Still) in October, based on Judges 1:2-24, Matthew 21:9-11 and 2nd Corinthians 2:10-12,  one of the things that owners of sports teams look for is that player who will take the team to that other level and eventually to the championship. As much as most sports are team sports, finding that star quality person who is head and shoulders above the rest keeps owners, their representatives and their fans hoping for a title. God, who is Our Creator is also looking for some of us to stand tall and go into places that no one else will go into. God is issuing a Call For a Champion. In the world today there is so much unrest. It seems that  we have gotten numb to murders happening everyday. There are still teens who are parents at an early age. There is still hunger, strife and other conditions that need improving worldwide. Do we

Renewal of a Champion (Still)

Good afternoon and Happy Saturday. As we continue in he month of Champions (Still) in October I based on Judges 1:2-4, Matthew 21:9-11 and 2nd Corinthians 2:10:12, as I am doing this teaching I am exhausted. I am 16 hours in of working 31 hours at 3 different sites. School has begun again and I have read one chapter and part of the second chapter that I have to read. I am spending more time to help develop Rhema Word 2.0 Facebook page and blog and have begun a new friendship with some one I have known for a while. At this time I am wiped out and have no intentions of really wanting to do this teaching. But I know that this is also part of my assignment to advance the kingdom of God and if I do the work of God there will be something that I and others can look forward to. And that is a Renewal of a Champion (Still). As we get into this teaching I want define the word renewal and I go to my source of definitions and that is dictionary.com. Renewal means to begin again; to make effec

I Know Him (Our Father)

Good morning and Happy Tuesday. Brand new week. Brand new attitude. The past is the past. The future is unlimited. As we continue in the year of Our Father based on the Isaiah 64:7-9, Luke 11:2-4 and 1st John 3:1-3 on this the 279th day of the year this month has begun in ways that I could never imagine. In beginning to come into a bigger role in the assignment that God has for me it seems as though things are getting out of control. I began by leaving my bag on the bus with my credit cards and bus pass in it. After pressing my school and being told to continue to look for my book voucher I was told that I would not receive one with classes just one week away from being started. And someone who I had a close friendship with has faded out of my life and I found myself missing her badly. One of the things that kept from going crazy is that I have a relationship with Our Father. I Know Him. The things of the world can be a burden that can wipe out any positive thing in your life. I w
