My Earnest Prayer For You

Each and everyone of us is going through some issues right now, but God is getting ready to bless us in a way like only He can. About two years ago, a dear friend of mine sent me this prayer via email. It blessed my heart tremendously and I have seen fruits of it, just believing God through faith based on what is written in the prayer. I share it with you and trust that you too will come to believe God for all things good and perfect.

An unknown Author's Prayer

Because you will see the invisible, you will do the impossible,,
Because you will touch the intangible you will achieve the incredible..
Because you will hear the inaudible, you will have the unimaginable.
Because of you, your family will not know poverty
You will go in and out of your house in peace..
Violence and crying of sorrow shall not be heard in your camp..

When You Have Grace, You Have It All

"And He said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee, for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities that the power of God may rest upon me." (2 Corinthians 12:9) When God do not remove from us entirely our troubles, our tribulations, our weakness and even our limitations; yet if He gives us His grace, it is sufficient for us to comfort and strengthen us. It is that knowing- ness of having God's river of grace flowing towards us and through us that we can confidently rest in His presence and enjoy His peace. You know that you have it all in that place in Him. You are not larger than life itself, since only He can be all that, but you know that you are complete in Him - nothing broken, lacking or missing. (Colossians 2:9)

Your Tears Are Never Wasted

As words fail me today by the sudden death of one of my co-workers/associates in the organization for which I am employed, I began to look through some of the many articles that I have written online since I started my blogs. I came across this one [previously posted in Daily Devotionals] from which I was able to draw strength. It is to me a vivid reminder of God's word to us that our tears, no matter the occasion for which they may have been shed are indeed never wasted. So here it is, very short and to the point as follows:

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone

source

In the middle of the American Civil war, President Abraham Lincoln back then, prompted by a series of editorials written by Sarah Joseph Hale, proclaimed a National Thanksgiving Day, to be celebrated on the final Thursday in November 1863. The document, written by the Secretary of State William Seward, reads in part:

"The year that is drawing towards its close, has been filled with the blessings of fruitful fields and healthful skies. To those bounties, which are so constantly enjoyed that we are prone to forget the source from which they come, others have been added, which are of so extraordinary a nature, that they cannot fail to penetrate and soften even the heart which is habitually insensible to the ever watchful providence of Almighty God........

Thought For Today - Never Dwell On One Obstacle

As I sit here and I began to reflect on the hours that have passed in this day, I realize that obstacles are really not what they may seem to be. We all get them from time to time. You start the day strong, things seem to be going smoothly, then the day takes a sudden turn and you are left feeling so overwhelmed. But in that lesson, I find more reasons to give God thanks. In so doing, my troubles can then become my greatest blessings.


Have a great day everyone!

Reclaim Your Identity And Regain Your Destiny

The purpose of this word today is not to pick on any individual - because at the end of the day, I still must allow that which I speak to search my own heart as well. But the harsh reality is that, too many are finding solace in temporary solutions and quick fix rather than seeking long term strategies that will give lasting peace. Too many are looking to kingdom systems for the answers. I really want to encourage someone today though, or rather empower you with the tools that will help you to rise, reclaim your identity so that you may regain your destiny.

Our Roots - How Deep Are They?

When the title of today's column was given to me back in  mid July of this year, I immediately began to focus on my family roots and how far or rather how deep they must extend. It even occurred to me of the strong possibility that while I may be living in the Caribbean that some of these family roots of mine may extend as far as in the African continent. Then as history would recall by the actual events and the many documentaries that have been chronicled over time, I began to reflect on our ancestors of what life must have been like for them back then. For the most part, I tried to imagine their struggles. I tried to create in my mind a mental picture of their hardship as to how they must have been chastened to the ground, whipped vehemently and no doubt violently, bound hands and feet in chains and shackles before they were sold off on the block market to the highest bidder.

A Winning Strategy

"Thy servant slew both the lion and the bear..David said moreover, The Lord delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said unto David, Go, and the Lord be with thee."  ~ 1 Samuel 17:36-37 Do you remember the last time you were in trouble and you found your back up against the wall, seemingly with no hope of a solution to bring you out? Do you remember your last experience with that mountain of debt before you or when you were down in the valley with your giants of fear and death standing before you trying to get you to believe a lie that you were not going to make it, and that you will die? Do you remember? Well, I remember my last time! Looking back now, I realize that it was not so much about the size of the giant that was before me, rather it was my faith in God and the one Himself who created the giants that I faced. It was God's winning strategy that He empowered me with to defeat those giants. That's right!

Great Leaders Serve Those They Lead

Behind every great man is a strong woman, a woman of strength whose binocular eagle eyes would be on the constant look out for her man. She stands by him and supports him, regardless of the situation which they face. Adding to that, I would also say that behind every great leader is an extraordinary great character. He has a big heart, a heart that is more about being (his character) than it is about doing (his skills). A great leader have a heart to SERVE. The pre-conceived ideology that a leader is simply someone in a position of authority who is responsible for the results of those under his direction must be looked at as an idea that has lost its power of sustainability. Organizations can no longer thrive on that mind-set. For those that do, it's like dwelling in the comfort zone of denial and mediocrity.

You Cannot Lock Away Greatness

It's a beautiful day! There is great anticipation everywhere - the atmosphere is charged, it's electrifying. The energy flow is unimaginable! People all over  the USA are at polling stations in one of that nations biggest presidential races as the rest of the world keenly looks on, hoping that their favorite candidate would win. After all the campaigning over the past several months, all of the hoopla, all of the name calling and the name bashing, the candidates final plea, the tear shed by the incumbent - wow! It all boils down to this one day, November 6th 2012. The deciding vote is in your hand. You have the power within you to make that difference. What will it be?

But all that aside, I awakened this morning to the sound of greatness. That's right, GREATNESS! It was a tiny whisper, yet loud enough for me to hear, "You Cannot Lock Away Greatness." This scripture immediately came to mind also that says, "Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world." (1 John 4:4)

Word Of Inspiration - It's An Honor

 "And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good." (Genesis 1:31a) Ever since I was a little girl, I had this deep intuitive feeling that I was special. The thought came about when over the years, I realized how much attention my father gave to me and how much he would demonstrate his love for me. As the years went by, it dawned on me though, there had to be something much deeper than that which I was seeing with my natural eyes, or even the overwhelming emotions of joy I experienced as I grew up among the others.

I got the best of what my parents had. I learned great family values from my grandma and also my mother. It's a priceless legacy they have left behind and one which I intend to continue to pass down to my children and grandchildren and the next generations to come. A bible was always on my mother's lap as she would glean through her spectacles into the word of God. My grandma I could recall walked the streets of the village, her bent walking cane propping her up on one side while her bible, ragged as it was with 'dog ears' was clutched under her arm on the other side to go into all the world to preach the good news. Joy fills my heart just having that reflection today and....
