Good afternoon and Wonderful Wednesday. As we continue with these teachings in the month of Adjustments in April based on Jeremiah 30:1-3 and Luke 20:5-7 the past month I lost both of the jobs that I had. I was wondering what can I do and how would I make it. I wanted to cry but the tears never came. I wanted to become depressed but it seemed like that never happened. I wanted to stop these teachings but what good would that do. In times that seem hard that is when you trust in God the most as your faith will be tested and mine surely was. How could God allow this to happen when I love him and take time out to teach his Word to people across the world even though it may just be a few. But as usual what I thought was a setback actually was an opportunity for me to make an Adjustment in April and began a strategy for something I will call The Comeback.
In beginning this teaching I want to begin by defining the word Comeback and in doing so will go to dictionary.com. The word comeback means as follows; a return to popularity, position or prosperity.
As a person who is in the walk of faith no matter how many times I have been down God has returned my popularity, given me a better position and has given more prosperity than one can imagine. The Comeback. This teaching will be coming from the 1st base scripture of the month and that is Jeremiah 30:1-3.
As we go to the Word of God for the teaching of The Comeback we go to Jeremiah 30:1. In this verse God speaks to Jeremiah. One of the things that I love about God before he returns your popularity He
wants to know if you are ready to hear what he has to say. Your way or my way of coming out a situation at times will be totally opposite of what He wants you to do. To prepare for The Comeback you and I must listen to what God says.
In going back to the Word of God I go back to Jeremiah 30:2. In this verse God gives Jeremiah instructions on how to have those who walk in faith to regain their position and that is by writing.
In order for The Comeback to take place you may need to write down what God is telling you to do and share with others to regain the position that not only you need to regain but others who are going through some stuff. The Comeback.
In coming to end of the Biblical portion of The Comeback I go Jeremiah 30:3. In this verse God tells Jeremiah to begin to prepare for their return to prosperity as God is going to bring them out of a bad
situation, being in exile, and into the land that God gave them. In this walk of faith God will give you all of your prosperity when you trust that he will no matter the situation. The Comeback.
In conclusion this teaching is to let everyone know who has had a setback that God will turn it into a comeback. I have had so many setbacks in my lifethat it would be foolish for me to count them. I have said this before that I lived off 100$ a month and was basically homeless. But it allowed me to return to school to get a certification in retail management which when I finished I got a laptop. With the laptop I was able to go to school to become a teacher of his Word and then began and finished my Bachelors degree in Human Resources Summa Cum Laude and begin a Masters program. Along the way there have been more setbacks as death in the family has been prevalent but the strong belief in God that I and my family share has allowed us to push through. God will give you back your popularity if that is what you desire. He will also give you back your position if that is what you desire. And he most definitely give you prosperity even when you think he may not. Listen him when He speaks, prepare to write down what he says and then get ready for The Comeback. I give God all the honor and glory for this teaching and ask him to bless all that read this and those who may read this and have had a setback get ready for The Comeback.
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
