GOD SHOWS UP

-
Luke 8:43-44 And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any, Came behind [him], and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched. This woman had been going through this pain for twelve years. She had visited places, she had spent so much money. All hope seemed lost, but God showed up! Glory. What we preach today is that, as believers who enjoy grace, God dwells in us by his Holy Spirit. 1Corinthians 6:19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost [which is] in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? Revelation 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. John 14:17 [Even] the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. ...

WHY SERVE THE LORD?

-
1 Corinthians 15:58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord. Never in vain, yes, however some may begin to ask, why was this person or that person not blessed and yet they served the Lord.  Well, we never truly know the circumstance of a person from a distance, we need to get close. All is not always what it seems. One truth is sure though, the Lord does not disappoint, He doesn't fail. 1 Peter 5:10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle [you]. Some would ask: how do I serve the Lord, is it by joining church activities? Yes, that is part of it but serving the Lord goes beyond just the gathering and activities. It entails our everyday life.  Our family Our job/work/business Our neighborhood Our communities Our nation What do...

BE GOOD, IT IS WORTH IT.

-
1 Corinthians 15:58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord. It is not strange to get tired of doing good. We understand that the world we live in cannot be described as good because of the system operating in it. We therefore need to look beyond it to see the reason for continuing in good works. 1 Corinthians 15:19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. Most who walk in wickedness or unrighteousness either do not believe in the life after or have chosen to ignore or blur it out of their minds. Therefore, when they think that it ends here, it is almost as if they say "there is no God". 1 Timothy 4:2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; However, we know that it goes beyond here, our spirit bears us witness that this world is not all there is, we will yet live after here and ...

WE TESTIFY

-
Psalms 71:7-8 My life is an example to many because you have been my strength and protection. That is why I can never stop praising you; I declare your glory all day long. We cannot afford to speak only of the difficulties, trials and temptations we face. Even some who do not speak out show it in their expression and attitude. We ought to learn to testify of His goodness. How Our attitude. Psalm 18:49 Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and sing praises unto thy name. For those who receive good also give out good. Those who receive evil are expected to also show forth its attitude. Matthew 5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Luke 6:36 Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful. We show forth the character that displays the home we come from. Thus if we have been reborn, gotten the new birth, we testify of the heavenly. There is no excuse, we live in times wh...

BETRAYAL

-
John 18:2 And Judas also, which betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus ofttimes resorted thither with his disciples. In man, one cannot put absolute trust, for man is fallible. It was recorded concerning Jesus that: John 2:24 But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all [men], We cannot delete betrayal from the world, it has been, it is and will still be after we have left. However we must not be the culprit! Jesus warned: Matthew 18:7 Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh! Selah God does not pally with those who are truce breakers. For they displease him. They may think they are smart or have taken advantage, some may be out of fear. Whatever it is, it is a show of the lack of love. Remember, there are tears the Lord will not overlook. Have you been betrayed?... Forgive Have you betrayed another? Seek forgiveness and make amends. May we never be counted as sons of perdition. ...

ALL ABOUT LOVE

-
1 John 4:7-8 Dear friends, let us continue to love one another, for love comes from God. Anyone who loves is a child of God and knows God. But anyone who does not love does not know God, for God is love. All of God's commandments are summed up in love. Timothy 1:5 Now the purpose of the commandment is love from a pure heart, from a good conscience, and from sincere faith, While writing to Timothy, Paul instructed him that the whole essence of the instruction was Love. All begins and will end in love. You do what you do actually because of love. Every action we take is a product of love of one thing or the other. That is why we are instructed: 1John 2:15 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world--the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life--is not of the Father but is of the world. Of course if you love the world all your actions will be limited to please the ...

BE CONNECTED

-
John 15:4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. The enemy's plan from the beginning was to disconnect us from the Heavenly Father. Psalms 51:11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me. He knew that if man fell like he did, he could dominate man and rule over him. Genesis 3:13  And the LORD God said unto the woman, What [is] this [that] thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat. That was the plan of the enemy, by deceit to separate man from God. The enemy's ultimate goal is to disconnect man from God. In the garden of Eden he lied to man,  he said,   "you will not die. . ." but of course man died,  he grew old and died physically but most importantly he began to get separated from God. However God always has the master plan. That which was meant for evil, God converts to good. Romans 5:15 But not as ...
