IF GOD BE FOR ME WHO CAN BE AGAINST ME

Scripture Reading 
The Book of Ruth


Ruth was a stranger in a foreign land, she knew no one except her mother in law.  The God of heaven,creator of heaven and earth was new to her. Yet she believed that whatever she would face in Judah is far better than what Moab had to offer her.   Moab is her home country; she knew nothing else, yet she fund in Naomi a belief in a God that she could trust more than any gods that was in Moab.  Although Ruth did not know where she was going and what would happen to her she went hoping for the best.  Ruth allowed her faith to take her from the unknown to destiny.  She put aside all that she believed in, all that she was expecting out of life; she used the opportunity to start a new life and ran with God.  She did not think twice of letting go of the past, in order to embrace the future. 

Tonight Lord I ask you to give me the faith like Ruth, who pressed through every obstacle that was in her way to embrace her destiny.  I wonder what would happen if we just let go and trust God the way Ruth did.  She was an ordinary woman who was in extreme circumstances; a woman who had every right to give up on life, but instead of giving up she trusted that God would make a way for her.

Whatever the circumstance you cannot give up, you must press beyond the pain, press beyond the shame, the guilt, press beyond hopelessness, press beyond your expectations of life and hold on to the truth of God's words and embrace destiny.  There is only one way to survive in tough times, it’s to press beyond your pain.  In spite of all you face, your hopes and dreams that are yet to be realized you must press past your pain.  Engulf yourself with the presence of God; crave His presence more than anything else. Sing to the Lord at all times, let His praises continually be on your lips and meditate on His word in your heart.   The word of God is your weapon,and praise is your defence.  Nothing can overcome you when you are wrapped up and entangled in the presence of the Lord.  Seek the Lord while he may be found don't wait until there is a crisis in your life to praise Him.  Praise Him when you are happy, praise Him in the morning, praise Him during the day, praise Him during the night continue to praise the Lord and don't worry about anything. If you continue to praise the Lord you would be surprise to see how far the Lord takes you in little time.  God is in control.

 Praise Him, Praise Him, Praise Him, Praise Him at all times. Don't give up!

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.

ENDURE TO THE END Scripture Reading Ecclesiastes Chapter 9 2012 has been an interesting year, 2013 will be even a more interesting one.  It is always easy to begin something new with zeal and passion but when situations arise it becomes hard to endure.  Many times we face unexpected problems and because we don’t know how to deal with them we give up and loose hope.     Nonetheless, it will be a prosperous year for those who can endure to the end. The race is not for the swift nor the battle for the strong,  Ecclesiastes 9:11 .  As believers we will suffer many things for the sake of the Gospel. Men will revile us and persecute us without a cause.  It is the plan of the enemy to hold us captive and cause us to lose sight of the future that God has prepared for us. He will do everything to destroy us.  One of his most effective tool since creation has been deception.  In  Genesis 3:1-7 ; it was Satan’s ability to make ...

RECLAIMING OUR COMMUNITY I wrote this article over five years ago and I believe revisiting it is appropriate in light of what we are facing these days. When we think about the condition of our communities; we need to understand we are not just fighting against guns and gang violence, but against spiritual wickedness in high places.  In order to reclaim our community we must first recognize the source of the problem, confront the problem, and then conquer the problem. Recognize—Confront—Conquer THE WAR AGAINST VIOLENCE This war against violence is not just a physical one; it is also a spiritual war.  In the physical realm we need to bond together and say no longer will we allow the violence to take over our community. It will take everyone corporation. On the spiritual aspect of the war we need to understand that our fight is not against the gang members but against the spirit of murder that is driving our young people (friends & family) to violence....
