Good morning and Marvelous Monday. As we continue in the month of For Such a Time As This based on Esther 2:7-9, 3:2-3,5 and 4:10-11,13-14, most of us have been in a situation that we had to defend something. In the public most of us show are displeasure for the politicians that we deem as unfit. In the streets we are caught between trying to do the right thing, knowing if we do there is little to no protection. In denominations we are caught up with trying to show that youth beliefs of what God means to man is the correct one. So when these situations of violence continue and we look for answers, should not the first question that we ask ourselves is this, What Am I Going To Do?
The people that are see violence as an answer are ones that we have seen before. It was that person who should had been in school but was out on the block. It was that group of females on public
transportation who cussed and disrespected their elders. It was the ones who are economically depressed areas who only know the street hustle of selling their bodies and selling drugs. These are people we have seen and know of. What Am I Going To Do?
In looking at the Word of God for this teaching of What Am I Going To Do I begin in 1st Samuel 3:12. In this verse Samuel receives his first words from God and they are eye opening. See Eli, who
was the priest at the time, had let God down by not taking action against some things that were wrong. We as the people of God at politicians to fix things when it our responsibility to step when we see what's wrong. What Am I Going To Do?
As we continue with this teaching of What Am I Going To Do I go to 1st Samuel 3:13. In this verse Samuel continues to hear from God and hears that God sees that Eli has not stopped his sons from
the things that are doing wrong, which makes God angry. In the streets we get so caught up in the perceptions of what are youth are doing wrong instead of restraining them by offering them another option than what they see as right. What Am I Going To Do?
In coming to the end of the Biblical teaching of What Am I Going To Do, I go to 1st Samuel 3:14. In this verse God finishes his talk with Samuel and tells him that Eli and his household have done such a
great sin against God that he will never forgive him. The many divisions of the denominations are causing such a divide that the works of God are not getting done and he is not happy with that. What Am I Going To Do?
In conclusion in answering the question on What I Am Going To Do is to see that the work of God is getting done. He cannot be happy with me that I stay on a block that has drug activity and I have not reached out to one of these people and said nothing. God cannot be happy when I see a group of youth being disrespectful and instead of shaking my head, I should be doing a silent prayer that God protects them. God cannot be happy with me and all those who are so stuck in doing the way of their denominations that the work of God is not getting done and the enemy is winning. I can not speak for you but these are some of the things I Am Going To Do to see if I can do the work of God For Such A Time As This. I give God all the glory and honor for this teaching. Please join me on Rhema Word 2.0 for a Preview of this week's Sunday School Lesson. And join me Friday for the last teaching of the month of For Such A Time Such As This Titled, We Shall Have The Victory. Have a great week all.
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
