Good evening and Marvelous Monday. Brand new week. Brand new attitude. The past is the past. The future is unlimited. As we come to end of the teachings of Advancing in February based on Esther 10:1-3 I want to congratulate each and everyone who has not only come out of a situation but rose above it. On tomorrow I am going to become a full-time employee from a position that was seasonal. It was not easy as I had to do some things to get that position. I had to be on time each day during my seasonal position as being tardy even some of the times may have cost me the permanent position. It was a time sensitive job meaning that I had to be there every day and even do the mandatory overtime even though I had another job and was going to school. I especially had to make sure that I had the right attitude each and every day and not let those who may not like me just because get to me. I had to do all these things In Order To Advance.
In Order To Advance there may be times for you to go the extra mile and do some things that are in character but may require more of your character. In Order To Advance you may have to be brave in
certain areas in your life that you have been fearful of. In Order To Advance you must believe that God is there with at all times and nothing is impossible with God in your life. In Order To Advance.
As we come to the Biblical portion of this teaching of In Order To Advance I begin in Esther 9:1. In this verse the kings command to kill the Jews had still an effect in some parts of the land but those
thought that they would hurt the people of God received a rude awakening as God's people were able to overwhelm and defeat them. No matter what may seem like danger, is actually a road to freedom. In Order To Advance.
As we continue in the Word of God for this teaching of In Order To Advance 9:2-3. In these verses it shows that not only did the people of God change what was supposed to happen to them, others
who at first wanted to harm them, joined to help them because they feared Mordecai. This verse is key because it shows that Mordecai, who hung out the gate as an outsider now is feared. In Order To Advance.
In coming to the end of the Biblical portion of this teaching of In Order To Advance I go to Esther 9:4. In this verse we can see where Mordecai has become great in the eyes of the people in the palace
the provinces and is now famous and prominent. One thing that is going to be needed In Order To Advance is to have others respect you no matter where you are at, in the church and in the world.
As we come to the conclusion of this teaching In Order To Advance we have to have some of the attributes that Mordecai exhibited and then we can advance the Kingdom of God. Mordecai did what he had to do to save his people but in order to do so he did the right thing and was eventually rewarded for it, so much so that you can see it in this teaching. In Order To Advance we must not give in to the peer pressure of others all around us. We mist do the right thing for when we do that comes advancement. We must not fear no man and bow down to no one but God. We shall not only have the victory but also have the honor. Oh I wish that I could be more like Mordecai. His belief in God and the love for his people is almost one of the best things I have read in the Bible. And although I advanced on my job, I need to advance the Kingdom of God who will then advance not only me but my causes as well. In Order To Advance. I give God all the glory for this teaching and allowing me the time to do it. I ask him to give every one the spirit of Mordecai and advance the kingdom of God. Please join me next month for the theme of next month and the teachings that will originate from them. Have a great rest of the 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
