The Elements Of A Dead Place

At some point on our journey in life, we will all be tested by certain situations and certain people, but there's no test greater than when you've encountered the elements of a Dead Place. A place filled with lies, darkness, deceitfulness, and gossip. A place where there's never any peace, because no matter how often you strive to do right, the elements around you are constantly working against you, always plotting to discredit the character of who you are. It's important to understand that Jesus has always been about love and unity, for there is no dignity amongst those who walk in false innocence, and unrighteous judgement of others.  It's important to understand the righteousness of God's word at all times, being cautious never to subject yourself or your family to an environment of hidden darkness, where people often sounds like God on the outside, but operate like the devil behind the scene. These types of people creates the kind of environment that promotes nothing but confusion, lies, deceitfulness, and discord. That's the elements of a "Dead Place" which harbors very little growth, and constantly strips you of your peace.  Vist My Website Today!

It's Time For Unity

As Christians, we can no longer sit idle and allow the world to dictate how we set standards for our lives and communities. We must continue to structure the Church as Jesus has instructed us, and that requires strong unselfish leadership capable of operating beyond their own selfishness. We have to focus on being productive leaders, reaching out to our communities, rooting out the wicket, saving souls, and becoming the type of resources that assures that God's people are taken care of with love and compassion which usually don't happen from the world. Rest assure my brothers and sisters in Christ, none of this will every be possible unless we unify and get beyond this war amongst ourselves. Visit My Website Today!

The Question Is . . . Who's Fault Is It?

It's often very convenient to blame others when people suddenly find it necessary to vacate your presence. One thing you must always remember, accountability has to start with you the individual, constantly evaluating your attitude to ensure that you're not the core of the problem. There are often very good warning signs to assist you in finding out who's fault it really is such as; If you find yourself constantly talking about people behind their backs to others . . . who’s fault is it? If everything around you suddenly starts falling apart, because you continue to neglect your responsibilities . . . who’s fault is it? If suddenly the people that once loved you, no longer deals with you because you’re too unpredictable and too unstable . . . who’s fault is it? Now if by any chance any of this pertain to you, I got one question to ask you . . . Who’s fault is it?  Visit My Website Today

Seeing Past Our Differences

It often becomes a challenge to get beyond offenses when we do not discipline our flesh and submit ourselves according to God's wisdom. Let's face it, we cannot truthfully walk in love, unless we learn to forgive swiftly. If we do not forgive swiftly, then we will never be able to find common ground in getting past offenses. We cannot claim to be a lover of all people, and not have forgiveness in our hearts. The word clearly states in Mark 11:25 "If you hold anything against anyone forgive him so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins". God didn't make exceptions for any of us. We cannot continue to manipulate scriptures to justify our ignorance, but we must use sound judgement about how we deal with offenses, so that our actions do not provoke others to act like us. #ForgivenessAndLove!!!   Visit My Website Today

The Supreme Court Decision On Marriage Equality

For countless amount of years we've seen same gender loving people operate freely in the church as if there was nothing wrong with it. From the praise teams, to the musicians, the choir, usher board, and even the pulpit itself, but rarely anyone did anything to address the situation. Quite frankly, lately it seems as if the church has difficulties addressing certain ungodly lifestyles in order to not risk losing some of its congregation. Now it seems that people are all upset because the Supreme Court has given same gender loving people a right and freedom to marry one another. Did you really expect the world to regulate a sin in which we ourselves as Christians has tolerated amongst ourselves? The world system believes in marriage equality for all no matter what gender you choose, but we are not of this world, we are in this world, therefore we cannot continue to have blind eyes to certain sin because of its sensitive nature and then cry wolf when it becomes an acceptable norm. We have to set the example through our teachings. People do have a right to live their life on earth however they choose, we have no authority to violate that, but we do have an obligation as representatives of God's Kingdom to teach and speak against anything that goes against the foundation of His righteousness. Let's face it, the world system is not the only one responsible for this decision.   Visit My Website Today

It's Time To Refocus

We cannot continue to claim to be Christians and constantly war against one another. It becomes a sad day when the church becomes the place to air out ones differences. Where is God in the mist of confusion when your opinions extract offense from your brother? Are we not shamed as Christians? Fool yourself not, because no one wins in such warfare, we tarnish the very position we are obligated through His righteousness to uphold. As Christians we are held at a higher standard, and must always show restraint in the mist of adversity. We must sacrifice our fleshly nature and revert back to His words for instructions. We cannot claim to be holy when things are going good, but through separation and disagreements we act like untrained thugs who have no respect of Kingdom requirements. Life is too short and there's work to be done. It's time to refocus saints!!!!  Visit My Website Today

Take Charge Over Your Existence

There's truly nothing wrong with allowing people to lead you or be an influence in your life, but you have to be cautious in following people without knowing their true character. It's important to never allow anyone to influence or dictate your relationship with others. This is often a warning sign that shouldn't be taken lightly. It's often wise to set boundaries for your life, never hesitating to hold others accountable of the way they respect you and treat you, no matter what type of relationships you have with them, whether it be family, friends, associates or any type of authority. Life should always be prioritize with structure, First God, next Family, and everything else fall behind it. Never allow your life to be driven by control freaks. Take charge over your existence!!   Visit My Website Today

Learning To Serve The Least Of

I recently had a pastor contacted me, looking for advice about using technology to reach and serve International communities, but when I asked him what model his church uses to serve the local communities surrounding him, he had no answer to my question. This in term really puzzled me. 
We often see a lot of churches striving to go International, but make no attempt to service the local communities surrounding them. The question we must always ask ourselves is; How is it can we as churches provide structure to an International community when our own communities never feel the impact of our existence? Radio, television, Internet and social media, grants us the greatest opportunity to reach a lot of people, but until we actually learn to be a great servant of a few, we will never fully understand the responsibility of serving a multitude of people. We have to take advantage of the opportunities in our own backyard, simply because the communities surrounding us is often our greatest training ground to learning how to become a great servant. Of course, reaching the world is appealing, but reaching our communities is a necessary reality we must quickly address.   Visit My Website Today

NO INNOCENCE

It really amazes me how we sometimes as Christians often uses scriptures to justify our ideology and misguided treatment of others, but yet seldom use it as guidance to find common ground and peace without confrontation. Only an army of ignorance fools will rise up against a wounded village, but true righteousness, understands how to carefully monitor and control their behavior. It's truly unnecessary that each person must destroy one's reputation in order to prove their innocence. It's important to understand this . . . If no peace can be established in the mist of confrontation, THERE IS NO INNOCENCE amongst either party involved  Visit My Website Today!!

Getting The Most Out Of Life

You have to enjoy each day as it comes, rooting out all negativity and getting the most out of life. Everyday offers new challenges, but it also offers the greatest amount of hope knowing and believing that God is at the head of your life. Never give up on life no matter how difficult life might seems. In each of us, we posses a conquering spirit capable of overcoming in the mist of adversity. The key to it all is trusting and believing God, and never allowing our faith to wavier. Life is often filled with challenges, but challenges can benefit you more if you can take the positives and turn them into motivation. We can no longer live a lifestlye of breaking down under pressure, but we have to be willing to take challenges head-on, believing and understanding that if we do not lose faith, we can acheive our greatest.  Visit My Website Today!!

No Greater Solution Than God

Life is often totally fulfilled when we reach that point of knowing that all of our prayers has been answered. We often spend countless moments interceding for our family and others, while trusting God finally pays off. He set us apart from the things we most struggle with daily, for He knows our heart better than anyone. He hears our prayers even when we're too preoccupied with our worries to trust Him, but yet, He's always on time, knowing just when is the right time to intervene. It's truly amazing how God loves us, how He never once leave our side. The relationship He desires with us doesn't really  requires a lot of sacrifices, but often many of us are hesitant to make such of a commitment to Him. At some point in our life, we have to come to terms and realize . . . THAT THERE IS NO GREATER SOLUTION THAN GOD!!!!  Visit My Website Today

The Path To Destiny

We can never be too comfortable in our own skin, knowing that God will alter our position at any given moment in order to position us to stay on course of our life's assignment. Oftentimes, we easily lose focus of our capabilities to effectively use the gifts within us, because we are often challenged by uncertain circumstances, that quickly hinders our forward progress. It's important to always understand that circumstances does not determine our fate, neither can it dictate the path to our destiny. The path to your destiny, depends totally on your readiness to be prepared to make swift changes and adjustments which is often more uncomfortable than it is pleasing. It's important to always remember one thing . . . . "The Path To Your Destiny, Will Never Be Easy, But Always Achievable, Only If You Are Willing To Endure The Tests That's Often Required To Get There "!  Visit My Website Today!!

Highly Infectious

Any person who chooses to stands aside and watches another man's reputation be damage by others, is subject to the same fate as he. For he who sows discord has no boundaries to their wickedness, therefore their poison is highly infectious, and those who stick around long enough is bound to get infected.  Visit My Website Today

Setting Boundaries, Avoiding Confrontation

You have to be careful not to allow anyone to cause you to have offense against another person , or allow yourself get trapped in making incorrect responses towards people base on hearing one person's sided of events. In every friendship or relationship, you have to measure your responses to others by your own personal experiences with them, and always be weary of anyone trying to drag you into a feud that has absolutely nothing to do with you. Never allow yourself to get caught up with trifling people who desperately seek to proclaim their innocence. A wise person resolves their problems with others, by calmly sitting down together, working to find reasoning and common ground between each other as to avoid any further confrontation, A fool possess no such wisdom.  Visit My Website Today!!

Expecting Too Much From Others

The greatest mistake we often make is putting too much trust in others, which often becomes the results when we measure people at a higher level of respect and honor than they truly really deserve. Oftentimes dealing with people can be like shopping for gifts at the mall, the product look very enticing in the window, but once it's purchase, you suddenly realize the poor quality in which it was built. But you have to come to terms and except the realities of life, that people will always be unpredictable, and no matter how blessed they seem to be elevated above others, they quickly loose sight of their responsibilities to always treat others with dignity, honor, and respect. #JustMyThoughtsExactly   Visit My Website Today

Don't Waste Your Time

It's often not worth your time to respond to people who behave like unguided spirits, which freely uses propaganda to sway the mind of others. These types of people are very despicable and evil by nature. Eventually they fall prey to their lies and schemes. You can only pray for those victims who unknowingly fall prey in believing the lies they so freely tell. "A righteous man humbly speaks, and carefully chooses his words, but a fool speaks with a loose tongue."  Visit My Websie Today! / Facebook Page

Unrighteous Empowerment

What good is it to gain empowerment over another person's life, and then mishandle them using lies and deceptions. Is there no shame amongst those who practice such unrighteousness? We have to be careful in allowing loose tongues to be a constant part of our daily regiment, or else, we could easily deceive a lot of people in order to cover up its effect. #JustMyThoughtsExactly.  Visit My Website Today!  /  Facebook Page

The Journey Of Life

Life has truly been a journey for most of us, often rocky at times, but often truly amazing. If you're not where you want to be in life, don't ever give up hope, because as long as there is life in your body, your destiny is always in reach. The road to your destiny will never be easy. There will be good days and bad days. There will often be unexplained circumstances beyond your control, but circumstances does not determine your fate, for you are elevated to overcome any challenge of situation as long as you put God first and trust and believe that nothing is too impossible for the Lord for "He Is Our Greatest Solution!!!"  Visit My Website Today!  / My Facebook Page

Learning To Be You

Being you is not a choice, it's a destiny waiting to be unveiled. You should never be satisfied with where you are in life, but always strive to get to that place in life that really allow you to fulfill God's purpose in you. That takes a lot of patience and perseverance and most of all, a highly discipline mindset to overcome "Oneself", which is always our biggest obstacle. Yes I know hearing that might hurt some people . . . it also hurt me as well, but I got over it quickly. Visit My Website Today!

Get To Know God For Yourself

Just because they say Thus saith the Lord. Just because they dress like God sent, you should never look at the outward man, but always look at the inward man to example it's truth. Don't allow yourself to get blindside. Salvation is always being challenge by deception. It's important to know God for yourself, to fully be able to trust the doctrine you are often taught. We must always respect authority, but never be naive in not thinking that even they too can often lose sight of God's purpose. Your greatest assets to authority, is to pray for them that they will always stay in God's will. #JustMyThoughtsExactly  Visit My Website Today!!  /  My Facebook Page

Establishing Peace

The most peaceful days are when you learn to live life above anything that's happening around you, always maintaining control of your life, not giving in to negative conversations. Life has to be about your happiness, always seeking the type of balance in life that doesn't become too physically or mentally overtaxing, cautiously avoiding getting too attached to people who are of questionable character. It's important to make each day count, setting your goals, and staying focus and committed to completing them. Always remember, you have to become your greatest priority even if it means abruptly walking away from certain people.Visit My Website Today

STAYING MOTIVATED

You have to be motivated to challenge yourself each day, understanding that in order to achieve greatness, you must be willing to discipline your mind. Its important to understand, that life will never be without challenging circumstances, therefore it would be to your advantage to never allow your responses to any situation to be dictated by your emotions. You should constantly be prepared to adjust your attitude to withstand any negative assignment designed to hinder your progress . . . 
Heavenly Father, help me to stay consistent and focus throughout this journey in life, understanding that if I do not apply your principles to my life, my chances of success decreases tremendously. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.

Get With The Picture Or Be Left Out

I often hear lot of pastors and christians constantly criticizing Facebook all the time. Facebook can be a very powerful tool that can allow us as Christians to reach a lot of people. One reason why most organizations don't grow, is because they refuse to use some of the technological advancements to go outside of their walls. Stop using the "lack of knowledge" as excuses not to take advantage of such tools. That's why God empowered technical engineers such as myself, to teach you how to take advantage of them. Let's face it, Facebook was created to benefit both the "Righteous" as well as the "Fools". The question is; Are we as Christians gone let the fools explore these benefits greater than us? Either we get with the picture or be left out of it.

Forgiveness

An unforgiving heart is the worst thing you can ever possess. It clings onto every thought in your mind extracting every ounce of your peace. An unforgiving heart leaves you venerable, not capable of realizing that your unwillingness to forgive as quickly as God requires us to forgive, will keep you in bondage, and you'll never progress, but you'll constantly live miserable which will get you no where. You have to forgive, not for the sake of the other person, but for your own sake.

Success

As each day passes by I can no longer take life for granted, but I understand my entire life must be structured with a plan. I have to believe that God has purpose me for success, for there is an economy that lives in me waiting to be discovered, believing that this alone is more than sufficient for all my needs. Oftentimes being purpose minded requires distance from others. You cannot continue to be everything for everybody and expect to achieve your goals. People could care less if you have dreams of your own just as long as you are serving their purpose. SOMETIMES IN ORDER TO BE SUCCESSFUL, YOU HAVE TO BE SELFISH!!!!
