Our Father Has Got This

Image
Good afternoon and Happy Friday. As we continue you in the Year of Our Father based on Isaiah 64:7-9, Luke 11:2-4 and 1st John 3:1-3 Many of us are coming into that land of worry. See once the holidays season is in full effect some of us begin to fret over what to do. We wonder how can we buy gifts for our love ones and still be able to pay rent. We wonder how we can afford to invite family over to our house when there is a pending foreclosure. We get depressed as our health will not allow us to celebrate like we used to. And if it is not any of those things it is something else. But please know that no matter what is going on, Our Father Has Got This. One of the best tricks that the enemy has is to try to shake your faith. When he is able to do that he is then able to shape any situation to make it seem like it is the worse thing ever. Once he has done this then other things come such as doubt, insecurity and sense of lack of everything. But when you are in a relationship with...

For Such a Time Such As This (Theme for the month)

Image
Good morning and Happy Sunday. Brand new month. Brand new attitude. The past is the past. The future is unlimited. We began this yeat by making our lives Drama Free in January and Renewed in February. We began Onboarding in March and in April we petitioned God to Hear Our Prayers. In the month of June we basked in the Evidence of Our Faith and then we began an Integration in July. We also had  Foreseeability in August and Breach of Contract in September. In October we celebrated that we were Champions (Still) based on Judges 1:2-4, Matthew 21:9-11 and 1st Corinthians 2:10-12. So now there only 60 days left in the year and we have come to the point that all we have went through has now made us stronger and prepared to lead the world into a better place. The time is now and we are here For Such a Time as This. Now whether you share or do not share the POTUS view about guns that is not the issue. The issue is that all over the world killing has become routine and an afterthought....

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).

Image
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

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 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)

Image
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...

Beyond A Champion (Always).

Image
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...
