Jesus Has Left The Seashore

Bible reference: Mark 6:47-51

Friends, Jesus is walking on water towards somebody this very moment! The above story in the book of Mark is about when the disciples of God were on a boat and the enemy sent a contrary wind to them in the middle of the night. The spirit of fear overcame all the disciples. Fear of drowning! But Jesus, who had seen them toiling and rowing, had already left the seashore and was walking on the sea towards them!

Friends, in all our situations and circumstances even though we do not see him, Jesus has already left the seashore and is on his way to put an end to the contrary wind that the enemy has placed in our lives. No matter how strong that contrary wind is, it will not turn your boat.

Everything you are going through is nothing but a “noise”. The word of God tells us that the Lord on high is “MIGHTIER” than the noise of many waters. One of the MANY names of God is Jehovah Shamah (The Ever present God). He is a very present help in time of trouble. He says in the bible: “Come unto me all you that labor and are heavy laiden and I will give you rest!”

Friends, you may be heavy laiden with the affairs of this world. Elijah was so fed up that he has God to take his life! David said “Why art thou cast down oh my soul? Paul said “We are troubled on EVERY side”! You may have toiled all night and have caught nothing. You may very well be in the lion’s den or in the fire right now. You may even be in the valley. You may be troubled on every side like Paul. It may seem as though everywhere you turn someone is asking for a handout yet you are barely keeping your head above water yourself. The fig tree may not be blossoming at the moment. Friends, take it to the Lord in prayer. He is mindful of you. He feels your pain. He is touched by the feelings of your infirmities. Your morning of joy is here!

Stay in the boat and keep the faith; Jesus has already left the seashore. He is walking on water towards “YOUR” boat. He will give you rest round about! So eat, drink, and be merry! Don’t worry about the “noise”. The Lord is MIGHTIER! The Master will embarrass you with the blessings of the Lord that makes rich and add no sorrow! Be blessed in the awesome name of Jesus!

Song: Jesus must be honored, must be honored, must be honored! God must be honored in m

The Master Cares

Friends, the bible tells us in Psalm 113 that God raises the poor out of the dust and lifts up the needy out of the dunghill and sets him with princes. May God raise you out of every dunghill of life and set you with princes! If servants have been riding upon your horses, they shall take their rightful place on the floor and you shall begin to ride upon your horses in the mighty name of Jesus!  If you’ve been eating on the floor, you shall begin to eat on the king’s table! I pray for you in the mighty name of Jesus that God’s face will shine upon you and that He will be gracious unto you! May he (God) lift up his countenance upon you! Beloved, we do not serve a High Priest who isn’t touched by our pains. Whatever you may be going through today, rest with the assurance that MASTER JESUS CARES!!!

Mark 4:38 And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?

Friends, while the disciples were on a ship passing over to the other side the enemy sent a contrary wind which terrified them greatly. They said to Jesus who was asleep on the ship “Master, carest thou not that we perish?” Then Jesus arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm (Mark 4:39). And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?

Likewise, in the world today, as many people are trying to cross over to the other side (of poverty, loneliness, reproach, failure, etc), the enemy often sends contrary winds their way. Beloved, “contrary winds” may be in form of rejection, opposition, lack of support, antagonism, etc. Continue to look unto Jesus – the author and finisher of your faith. He is the Alpha and the Omega. He always finishes what he starts. Noone can put a fullstop where he hasn’t. When he says “yes” no one can say no. Trust me when I say this: The Master has you on his mind. In fact, he has engraved “you” in the palm of his hands.  Just as a woman CANNOT forget her suckling child, God has not forgotten you. Your deliverance has arrived in the mighty name of Jesus!

There are many people today saying “Master, carest not thou that my income is less than my expenses? Carest not thou that my house is about to be foreclosed? Carest not thou that everyone is getting married and NOBODY has proposed to me? Carest not thou that I’m still without child and my biological clock is ticking? Carest not thou that {FILL IN THE BLANK}!!!

Beloved, Joseph helped the butler in prison and begged him to remember him in the palace but notwithstanding the butler forgot him! Mordecai helped the king in the past but the king forgot about him! In WHATEVER your situation may be in, rest assured that Jesus is rebuking the contrary wind on your behalf this very moment. He is saying “Peace, be still” to every storm. I pray in the mighty name of Jesus, that God will cause a divine remembrance in the hearts of all those who have forgotten you! Men and women will go out of their way to favor you!  Beloved, the Master has prepared a table before you IN THE PRESENCE OF YOUR ENEMIES!!! Many shall see it and say “Of a truth, the Lord has done great things for you”

I pray for you in the mighty name of Jesus that the Eternal Rock of Ages will break that demonic wall of partition between you and your promised land! For your shame you shall have DOUBLE honor! God will make you a name and a praise in EVERY land you have been put to shame! He (God) has rolled away the stone hindering your miracle! There will be not just a calm but a GREAT CALM to that storm!!! Be still and know that HE IS GOD and He will hasten his word to perform it. Wishing you a great week ahead filled with great and mighty testimonies. Remain blessed in Jesus’ mighty name!

You Shall Have Good Success

Joshua 1:8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success

Someone reading this message will be the next success story!!! If that someone is you shout a thunderous “HALLELUIAH”!!! And so shall it be in the mighty name of the one who owns the silver, the gold, and the cattle upon a thousand hills!!! The bible reference above talks about “good” success. To me this implies that some success is “not good”. The bible says both in Proverbs 14:12 and Proverbs 16:25 that there is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

God is not a talkative. When He repeats Himself it is usually for emphasis. A good example is Abraham’s nephew (Lot) in Genesis 13:10 who saw greener pasteurs in Sodom and Gomorrah and went to settle therein. Unknown to him was that it was a cursed land! Consider Naomi in the book of Ruth. She left Bethlehem (where our Lord Jesus was born) for Moab. This wasn’t a wise move either.  While in Moab, she lost her husband and her two sons before returning to Bethlehem where God restored her! Friends, the grass is only greener where it is watered!!!! As you seek God, may He give you divine strategy in the majestic and victorious name of Jesus.

In Matthew 20, the workers who got hired at the eleventh hour got the same wages as those who were hired in the first hour! May God deliver you from unprofitless hard labor! You should therefore not fret because others achieved something before you. He who laughs last laughs longest! Wait patiently on the Lord until your change comes (Job 14:14). The Lord is good unto those who wait (Lam. 3:25).

Psalm 37:7 Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.

I pray in the mighty name of Jesus that as you fix your eyes on God and meditate on His words day and night, He will open unto you His good treasures and show you the hidden riches of secret places. The two leaves gates will open unto you of its own accord! The fountains of the deep will burst open unto you! You shall enjoy the precious things brought forth by the sun! You shall break forth to the East and to the West and possess the South! You shall have “GOOD” success!!! Remain blessed in the mighty name of Jesus!

Song: I put my hands in your hands o Lord (3ce), I shall not fail for Jesus never fails!

PRAYERS

Lord, let your eyes be upon my ways! Instruct me in the way that I should go! I reject the spirit of error! Order my steps, Lord and direct my path! Lord, you are my shepherd, lead me not into temptation. Open the eyes of my understanding!

Godliness With Contentment

1 Timothy 6:6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.

Covetousness is synonymous with greed. It is a strong desire for wealth or possessions. Jezebel convinced Ahab to have a man murdered because he wanted his vineyard! Many run into a lot of tight corners trying to be like “the Jones”!  Stop trying to be like them because chances are that God has deposited something in “you” that the “Jones” would love to have. Guard it jealously. God is a God of times and seasons. Enjoy the season of your life that you are in at the moment. Learn everything God is teaching you in the season you are in and rest assured that He will take you to your next level IN HIS TIME.

Psalm 40:1 I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.

There’s a story in the bible about an employer that hired workers at different hours of the day but at the end paid them all the same wage. Friends, let’s not feel bad when others achieve something before us. Be happy for them and rejoice with those who are rejoicing. Ours also will come. Let’s count “our” many blessings and name them one by one. If it had not been for the Lord who had been on your side, what would you have said? Friends, if God opens our eyes and shows us what he has delivered us from, we will thank him every minute of every day and  will not have time to envy any one!

Peninnah had no class and probably didn’t have the spirit of God in her. This was why she tormented Hannah. But guess what? Penninah’s torments drove Hannah into a fast and God blessed her with a great prophet Samuel and many other children. No one has heard about any of Peninnah’s children! At times, we need “Penninahs” to drive us to our divine destinies.

There’s a quote that I love which says “Life is the most difficult exam. Many people fail because they try to copy others not realizing that everyone has a different question paper!” Beloved, many people are notorious for what I’d like to call the “follow-follow” syndrome.  These people have the desire to walk in the footsteps of others! For as many as are led by the spirit of God are called the sons of God.  Five plus four equals nine but so does six plus three as well as seven plus two. THERE ARE MANY WAYS TO GET TO THE SAME DESTINATION. There is also a way that seems right to man but at the end is destruction.

Many will be spared a lot of financial tight-corners if only they would “cut their coats according to their sizes”!!! I don’ know about anyone else but if I can’t afford an expensive vacation I can always pitch a nice big umbrella in my backyard and have picnics with my family. In fact, there was a particular summer that my kids kept asking me when our vacation was and I kept telling them that I’d let them know. Friends, the truth was that the money was so plenty that I had no idea when the vacation would be (I hope you can read between the lines). And then all of a sudden my sister told me she had made vacation reservations with her kids and we could come! Beloved, it was as if we packed our bags before she finished her sentence! In fact, we beat them there and had to wait in our car as we couldn’t check in without them (smiles). Beloved, there’s no shame in the game. I love to be transparent. I don’t need to impress the Jones. May the Almighty continue to cover our nakedness in Jesus’ mighty name.

Do not cast away your confidence in the Lord. After you have suffered a while the God of all grace will establish and settle you! THE BLESSINGS OF THE LORD MAKES RICH AND ADDS NO SORROW!!!

I pray in the mighty name of Jesus that we will have “good” success (because there is such a thing as “bad” success). Paul said “having food and raiment, let us be content” (1st Tim. 6:8). This doesn’t mean we have to settle for the status quo. I pray in the mighty name of Jesus that we will not follow a multitude to our destruction. I pray in the mighty name of Jesus that every single day we will count our many blessings and name them one by one! Remain blessed in the mighty name of Jesus!

Lord, I Reject Foolishness!

Proverbs 26:4 Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him.

Friends, as Christians, the bible is our constitution and/or instruction manual and it has LOTS to say about foolishness. Let us endeavor to check ourselves against what the bible says concerning this subject.

The bible tells us anger lies in the bosom of fools (Eccl. 7:9) and that a fool says in his heart there is no God (Psalm 14:1). A fool is full of words (Eccl. 10:14) but when he shuts his lips, is esteemed a man of understanding (Pro. 17:28). The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkens unto counsel is wise (Prov. 12:15). A fool despises correction:

A fool despiseth his father’s instruction: but he that regardeth reproof is prudent (Proverbs 15:5).

A fool hath no delight in understanding (Prov. 18:2). As a dog returns to his vomit, so a fool returns to his folly (Prov. 26:11). A fool utters all his mind: but a wise man keeps it in till afterwards (Prov. 29:11). The words of a wise man’s mouth are gracious; but the lips of a fool will swallow him up (Eccl. 10:12).

Friends, wisdom is the principal thing. Get wisdom, and in all your getting, get understanding!!!

My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh (Proverbs 4:20 – 22).

The bible says he that winneth soul is wise. It doesn’t take rocket science to conclude that he that does not win souls is foolish. Therefore friends, on this glorious Friday that the Lord has made, witness Christ to somebody TODAY and REFUSE to be numbered among the fools!

I pray in the mighty name of Jesus that God who is The Only Wise God will open the door of utterance unto you that you may BOLDLY declare the counsels of God! I receive for you the tongue of the learned! As you speak, you shall speak as God’s oracle! Be blessed in the mighty name of Jesus. Let us pray…

PRAYER

O Lord, I do not want to be a fool! If I have been a fool, have mercy on me! I reject foolishness in the mighty name of Jesus! I put away foolishness far from me in the mighty name of Jesus! Foolishness is not my portion in the mighty name of Jesus! God is my portion in the land of the living!

Father, you are The Only Wise God, I receive wisdom from you in Jesus’ mighty name!  Mighty God, I receive the spirit of wisdom, counsel, knowledge, understanding! Make me of quick understanding the in the fear of the Lord! From today, Lord, I will attend to thy words in the mighty name of Jesus!

Father, you are the door. I enter into the month of June by you! You are the way and the truth – Guide me in the mighty name of Jesus! You are the potter, I am the clay – in ANY way that I may have been marred (through sin or foolishness), remold me into a vessel of honor SANCTIFIED and meet for your use!

Desire Big Things From God

Luke 16:21 And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.

Friends, God is going to do exceeding abundantly ABOVE that which you ask or think in the mighty name of Jesus. As I was chewing on Luke 16 – the story about the rich man and the beggar, verse 21 jumped at me. It says the beggar “DESIRED” to be fed with the crumbs from the rich man’s table! The bible tells us that the expectation of the righteous shall not be cut off. We serve a VERY BIG God….The earth is his and the fullness thereof, the world and those who dwell therein! The silver is his, and the gold, and a cattle upon a thousand hills! For the life of me, I do not get why this poor beggar “DESIRED” crumbs! One thing NOBODY can take away from you is your desire. You can desire whatsoever you please from God – it’s your prerogative. So why desire crumbs when God can give you the desires of your heart if you delight in him????

Psalm 37:4 Delight thyself also in the LORD: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

The bible says ye have not because ye ask not. Some ask amis. To him that asketh receiveth. Ask God for BIG THINGS!!! He is more than able. As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.  I encourage you, friends, that whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things (Phil. 4:8). Be blessed in Jesus’ mighty name!

Give Me Oil In My Lamp

Bible reference: Matthew 25:1-5 The account of the ten virgins.

In Mathew 25 there is the parable of the ten virgins who went to meet the bridegroom. Five were wise and took extra oil with them. Five were foolish and did not take extra oil with them. The bridegroom tarried and the five foolish virgins ran out of oil! Beloved, all ten of them were virgins meaning they lived in holiness and purity. But as a result of lack of planning they did not all go in with the bridegroom! They all had “lamps” meaning they all had the word of God which the Bible tells us is a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path. There are many children of God who have the word of God but not enough oil (anointing, empowerment) for when the bridegroom tarries. Many are called but few are chosen. MAY WE BE PART OF THE CHOSEN FEW IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS!

THE BRIDEGROOM TARRIED

Beloved, many-a-times the vision tarries but we must wait for it for it will surely come. We must not be weary in well-doing for in due season we will reap if we do not faint. May we have enough oil to carry us through our time of waiting!

THEY ALL SLUMBERED

Beloved, at times even the most anointed of us are too weak to pray. This is why we all need extra oil to tide us through.

TWO CATEGORIES OF PEOPLE

Some have “oil” (anointing) but are not “virgins” meaning some are highly gifted but are not pure. An example is a great singer that gets standing ovations but lives in sin. Some are “virgins” (holy, pure) but have no oil meaning some are living in holiness and purity but lack the anointing for exploits. Many go for deliverance multiple times because they lack the word of God. “He sent his word and healed them and delivered them from their destructions”

BUY THE TRUTH AND SELL IT NOT!

Matthew 25:8-9 And the foolish said unto the wise, give us of your oil for our lamps are gone out. But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.

When the foolish virgins ran out of oil and asked the wise ones for some, the wise ones told them to “Go and buy from those who sell” meaning THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO SELL OIL!!! There are people endowed with much oil but  commercialize their anointing! The bridegroom is coming back for a glorious church without spot or wrinkle. Let him that has ears HEAR. Matthew 10:8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: FREELY ye have received, FREELY give.

WHAT MADE TEN OF THE VIRGINS FOOLISH?

They didn’t plan ahead. If you fail to plan you plan to fail. If you don’t use your instinct you can’t be distinct. If you are not proactive you can’t be productive. If you fail to take the initiative you are already initiated.

PRAYER

I pray in the mighty name of Jesus that you will have plenty of corn and wine! May you never lack oil! The cruise will not fail and the barrel will not fail in Jesus’ mighty name. As you prayerfully sing the following songs I pray in the mighty name of Jesus that God Almighty who is “The Ointment Poured Forth” will anoint you afresh!  Let us sing…

Song: Anointing fall on me, anointing fall on me. Let the power of the Holy Ghost fall on me, anointing fall on me.

Song: Give me oil in my lamp keep me burning. Give me oil in my lamp I pray. Give me oil in my lamp keep me burning. Keep me burning till the break of day!

God Knows You Are In Shechem

Genesis 37:12-14 And his brethren went to feed their father’s flock in Shechem. And Israel said unto Joseph, Do not thy brethren feed the flock in Shechem? Come, and I will send thee unto them. And he said to him, Here am I. And he said to him, Go, I pray thee, see whether it be well with thy brethren, and well with the flocks; and bring me word again.

Most of us are familiar with the account of Joseph and his brothers. His father loved him specially causing his brothers to despise him. Joseph’s brothers were notorious and were always getting into mischief. Being a goody-two-shoe, Joseph often reported them to his dad which made his brothers hate him even more. But beloved, as bad and notorious as Joseph’s brothers were, while they were in Shechem feeding their flock, their father was still interested in their well-being. He therefore sent Joseph to go to Shechem to see if it was well with them.

Friends, God knows you are in Shechem.  Believe it or not but He knows EXACTLY where the shoe pinches in your life no matter how much you put on a “good show”. Be careful for NOTHING; but in EVERY thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God (Phil. 4:6).  Take a look at the fowls of the air: they do not sow, reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much better than they? (Matthew 6:29). Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they do not toil, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. (Matthew 6:29).

If God can clothe the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? (Matthew 6:30). Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? She may even forget, but God will not forget you (Isaiah 49:15). God has engraved you in the palm of his hands (Isaiah 49:16). The very hairs on your head are numbered by Him (Matthew 10:30).

Friends, sit back, chill out and RELAX because God knows you are in Shechem!!!  We do not serve a high priest who isn’t touched by our infirmities. Trust me when I say this: Man may not but God can see beyond the pretty make up and designer clothes. Beloved, HE FEELS YOUR SECRET PAIN. He knows about the ugly situations and circumstances that  you “grin and bear”. He knows what is not allowing you to eat your food with joy. Therefore take no thought, saying, what shall we eat? or, what shall we drink? or, how shall we be clothed? For your heavenly Father knows that you have need of all these things (Matthew 6:31). But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you (Matthew 6:33).

While Joseph’s notorious brothers were in Shechem, their father Jacob was still interested in their well-being! If you being evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more shall your father in heaven give good things to you (Matthew 7:11)?

I pray in the mighty name of Jesus that God would perfect ALL that concerns you! He will not forsake the work of his hands. So chill out and relax, friends, God knows you are in Shechem! Remain blessed in Jesus’ name. Wishing you a great week ahead FULL of mighty testimonies!

Song: There’s not a friend like the lowly Jesus. No not one, no not one! Jesus knows all about our sorrows. He will guide till the end of time. There’s not a friend like the lowly Jesus. No not one, no not one!

What Stuff Are You Made Of?

2 Timothy 2:20 – But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour.

Friends, can you tell what flavor a tea bag is just by looking at it? I seriously doubt it. The best way to find out the flavor of a tea bag is to dip it in hot water. This way, without any doubt, one would be able to tell if the tea is green tea, lipton tea, raspberry tea, or whatever. Where am I going with this? I’ll tell you in a minute…

In the body of Christ there are vessels of gold and silver. These are the vessels of honor meet for the master’s (God’s) use. There are also vessels of wood and earth. The above scripture call these the vessels unto dishonor. The best way to recognize which vessels you have around you is to watch how they react to the storms of life…

The vessels of honor usually exhibit the fruit of the spirit (love, joy, peace, longsuffering, patience, meekness, faith, goodness, kindness). The bible says “By their fruit you shall know them” (Matthew 7:20). These vessels are full of joy even when nothing in their lives seem to be going according to their expectation. They always exhibit joy in the Holy Ghost and a peace that passes human understanding. The bible calls this the Kingdom of God (Romans 14:17). Their faith cannot be shaken even in the midst of turbulent storms. They hold on to the word of God and his prophecies. When life brings them lemons, they make lemonade. No matter what life brings them, they always bounce back stronger than ever. These vessels live their lives with the assurance that their tomorrow will be alright as long as God is still God.

The vessels of wood are also very easy to spot. Like the children of Israel, they murmur against God and his anointed. They murmur at the slightest discomfort. These vessels serve God from a comfort zone. They are fair-weathered Christians. At the slightest attack they act as though their lives are over. They hear the word of God Sunday after Sunday but never apply it to their situations. These vessels of wood are a disgrace to the body of Christ. They are definitely not fit for the master’s use!

Beloved, on this glorious day that the Lord has made, let us examine ourselves by asking ourselves the following questions: Am I a vessel unto honor or unto dishonor? Am I fit for the master’s use? Can God really count on me? What stuff am I “REALLY” made of? When I am dipped into the hot water of life, do I feel like resigning from God’s kingdom?

I pray in the mighty name of Jesus that where ever you may have been marred, our potter (God) would remold you into a vessel of honor, sanctified and meet for his use (Jer. 18:4). May you be a crown of glory and a royal diadem God’s hands (Isaiah 62:3). By His grace, you will not miss your crown; you shall do God’s work WHILE IT IS DAY for the night cometh when NO MAN can work! Your sun will not set at midday! You shall live till a good old age FULL of riches and honor! Remain blessed in the awesome name of our savior Jesus!

Empty Vessels Make The Loudest Noise

1 Samuel 17:43 And the Philistine said unto David, Am I a dog, that thou comest to me with staves? And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.

Goliath had a lot of “mouth” but no substance. He said to David “Am I a dog?” Beloved, he made a lot of noise and even cursed David “by his gods!” But at the end of it all he was killed like a chicken by a young lad (David) whose boast was in Jehovah Sabaoth – The Lord of Hosts.

Beloved, empty vessels make the loudest noise! When a ball is empty, it cannot bounce. But when it is full of air, it bounces very well. Some people are “empty” of the word of God. That’s why it is hard for them to “bounce” back when they are in difficult situations. Beloved, when you are “full” of the word of God, you “bounce” back stronger no matter what life throws at you. When you are full of God’s word, when life brings you lemons, you make lemonade! A drum makes a lot of noise BECAUSE IT IS EMPTY. Friends, on this glorious day that the Lord has made ask yourself the following question: AM I AN EMPTY VESSEL? AM I A VESSEL OF HONOR SANCTIFIED AND MEET FOR MASTER JESUS’ USE? HOW DO I REACT WHEN LIFE THROWS ME LEMONS INSTEAD OF APPLES OR ORANGES? Friends, think on these things!!!

A fool uttereth all his mind but the wise holds it in until afterwards (Prov. 29:11)

Evil communication corrupts good manners. Beloved, if you want to fly like an eagle don’t hang out with chickens because chickens don’t fly. Besides, great eagles fly solo. Rebecca went to fetch water “by herself” when she met with destiny. Iron sharpeneth iron. Saul was among prophets and he also prophesied. Surround yourself with people who make the baby in your womb leap for joy!

Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding (Prov. 17:28)

He that hath knowledge spareth his words: and a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit (Prov. 17:27)

I pray in the mighty name of Jesus that the word of God will dwell richly in you! May God open your eyes to behold wondrous things! I pray that God will make you into a vessel of honor sanctified and meet for His use! I pray in the mighty name of Jesus that you shall be a crown of glory and a royal diadem in God’s hands! In the mighty name of Jesus, you shall be called The holy people, The redeemed of the LORD: and you shall be called, Sought out, A city not forsaken (Isaiah 62:12). You shall be named the Priests of the LORD: men shall call you the Ministers of our God: you shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, and in their glory shall you boast yourselves (Isaiah 61:6). Remain blessed in Jesus’ mighty name!
