Weighing in the Balance

When the fear of God is not in the heart of the people, they will call evil good.

In Exodus chapter one, Pharaoh commanded the Egyptian midwives when the Isralite women give birth kill every male child, and if it is female save it alive, but the midwives feared God and did not do as the king commanded them. (Exodus 1:15-17).

The times might have changed but the same evil is prevailing. Every day we hear through media, from Christian's and non-christians alike bashing and calling President Trump evil because he does not line up with their ideal of an American President. Yet, this man is one of the few in authority who has the fear of God in him to know that it is ungodly to have the life of new born babies weighing in the balance.

We can no longer allow our preferences to blind us from standing up for truth according to God's word. We are in a battle for life, both physical and spiritual. When Pharaoh gave the command to kill the male child being born, it was out of fear of the unknown because the children of Israel were growing and multiply and no matter what he did to them they still were successful (Exodus 1: 7-12). Abortion is rooted in the fear of the unknown.

Like the Egyptian midwives, President Trump is as without God as many of us were, walking in darkness until God brought us out into the light of Jesus Christ. But the midwives feared God and because of their fear towards Him, God dealt well with them (Exodus 1:20-21).

If we as believers are truly seeking to live according to the word of God, it should stir our hearts to seek God's face for President Trump to come to the full knowledge of who Christ is and receive salvation, instead of praying him out the White  House. Remember God only answer prayers according to His will, not ours. 

Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. For this is  good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. I Timothy 2:1‭-‬4 NKJV

Meditate on Words that Bring Life.

H ow you think about life results in the quality of life you live. Your thoughts are important, so meditate on words that bring life. In spite of all the obstacles I have faced in my life, one of the things that have kept me going are these words the Lord spoke to me when I was much younger “you have creative power within you, and everything you touch will prosper.” These words have been my guide in my ups and downs. I held on to these words as truth and life. I believe everything God has spoken to me and I know His words will never return void. I choose to meditate on words which bring life.  As a Christian I choose to meditate on the words of God. I also listen to godly-men and woman who are leading successful lives based on biblical principles. I read books and listen to audio messages which fosters positive encouragements and personal developments. I also write my own affirmations and speak positive things over myself at times. Most times than o...

DON'T WAKE THE BEAST!

                My mom had a way of conveying here wisdom in such a way that would make you laugh and think at the same time.  When things weren't going well or she heard of a problem between two people she would often say; "When you find your head in a lion's mouth take your time and draw it out." What she meant was that a lion is a fierce beast, but when he is sleeping he is harmless as a dove. If you are having problem with someone don't get angry and stir anger in the person because you might not be able to escape the fierceness of his or her wrath. Next time you find yourself in a dispute with someone and feel the need to get angry, remember not to wake the beast. It is best to keep calm and walk away than to wake the lion within the person and get devoured.  Proverbs 15:1 - A soft answer turns away wrath, but harsh words stir up anger.

More Than Conquerors

Dear Friends,            It has been six long months since the last issue of  the Newsletter . I must say it has been a trying time, nevertheless, I will press on  in spite of the obstacles I am facing. Embracing your destiny is never an easy task. There are all kinds of obstacles that we must overcome; fear, doubt, self, people and devices of the enemy. One question we must ask ourselves, "What will it cost me if I don't embrace my destiny?” Too many times we     focus on how difficult it is and not the price we will pay if we don't. We must keep in mind that our destiny is not only for us but those who it will impact. Every day we fail to move one step closer to our destiny, that individual who we are to help spends another day in whatever circumstance he or she is in.   It is imperative for us to know in whom we believe if we are going to fulfill our destiny. We must know that nothing can...
