Why do we fight and treat each other as enemies? We have only one enemy and that is the devil. As Christians we are family. The same royal blood flows through our veins. How can family treat one another the way we do. Without love for each other we cannot accomplish much in the Kingdom of God. God is love and without love we will never be able to please God. We come to the building we call church in vain, we put on programs in vain, we pray in vain because all these things that we do require love for each other. Love is what unifies the Body of...

God has given us abilities that He has never put a limit on. He has blessed us with “potential” to be and do anything that we desire to be and do. We are the only ones that are stopping us. An atom has a potential to create massive destruction but it is only a potential, without the right process, it will only have the potential. We are the same, God never puts a governor on us, we are the ones who have limited our dreams. We allow the enemy to stifle our creativity and lie to us about what we can or cannot do. God is always giving us the enthusiasm and motivation to strive for excellence. We will never know where our maximum potential is until we set it. God is unlimited and He has created His children to have unlimited potential. The only one that is hindering us from being our best is us. What could we do if there were no boundaries and unlimited possibilities? Anything that we put our minds to. When we partner with God, He will direct us in the path where we will receive the best return on our...

Christ said that He has left His peace for us. Which means that all we need to do is receive it and activate it in our lives. Why should we have so much stress in our lives as Christians when He has left us this promise. He says to cast our cares upon Him because He cares for us. Why should we carry around so much baggage with us and burden ourselves when He said that His burden is light. We must learn to accept the word that we read. His Word is true and by faith, He will do what He said He will do. God is not a man that He should fail, He cannot fail. Our God is a mighty deliverer and He said that we are over comers. We must rise and take our positions as children of the King of...

All these words describe a life that is genuine. When Christ is the center of our lives we become consistent with our actions. We become predictable in our responses. We become transparent in our life style. Outside observers will look on and say as they did about the disciples, “these men have been with Jesus.” The Word of God will come alive in our lives so much that our lives will speak louder than our words. No one will have to second guess us. We will be a genuine reflection of Christ wherever we go. The Word of God is what makes this transformation possible. Nothing outside of the Word of God will transform us because God causes the transformation of the seed of His Word that we sow in our lives. He alone can bring forth fruit from His Word. God can help us to have a consistent character that becomes predictable and transparent. All that will be reflected from our lives is Christ the Savior of...

We go from day to day looking for the BIG things that God does or will do for us but never seeing the SMALL things that He does for us daily. We have to train our minds to observe the little things and give thanks for them. God does a lot for us. We need to get a sheet of paper and make a list of them. I promise you that you will be surprised to see the amount of blessings that we receive on a daily basis. God is a God of the big things and a God of the small life sustaining things. Learn to count your blessings and name them one by one and you will have to praise and give Him thanks for all that He does that we don’t seem to appreciate Him for. Being grateful to God is very important to our worship of Him daily. He is worthy of all our...

It is a challenge to be a patient individual. It feels at times like everything is an emergency and we are in a race to get to some place important in a hurry. We hurry people along and sometimes get angry in our vehicles because they aren’t moving as fast as we want them to move. When we finally get to our destination, we are frustrated and upset at everyone. We get stressed out and develop bad health because of our lack of patience. Was it worth it to allow everything to become an “emergency” in our lives? If we could think about our life in retrospect, was it worth the frustration to loose our cool? Was it worth it to look bad before others? Was it worth it to be stressed out? The Bible teaches us to “be anxious for nothing but in all things by prayer… .” If you have observed God throughout the Bible, you realize that there are no emergencies for Him. God is very organized and so His timing is always perfect. We need to take that example and capitalize on it. We need to learn His patience by studying Him and how He responds to every situation. He never reacts because He thought about every situation in advance. Since we aren’t God and we don’t know all things, we have to depend on Him to guide us into a life of patience. It is worth all the discomfort in our efforts to learn how to be...
