COINS

A young lady is elated. She has has just gotten the news that, she is now a millionaire, inheriting over one million dollars in coins. With no money management skills, and having no wise counsel, the woman decides to trade in the coins for their cash value, and live it up. Mean while the wild spending sprees increases, with no accountability. After six months all of the coins and the million dollars are now no more, the young woman weeps and mourns bitterly over her unwise decisions. Jesus tells us in the book of Luke chapter 15:8 of a woman who had ten pieces of silver coins. Just the mere fact of losing one of these coins, this woman knowing the value of them, she would light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently until she finds that one coin. Further, this woman, after finding her lost coin, calls all of her friends and neighbours, to celebrate with her. What a contrast. It is so important for us to understand that our lives consists of more than the material wealth w

WALKING

It is a known fact that walking is one of the best forms of excercise. Very early in the morning, men and women can be seen wealking. For some it is just a routine just to get out of the house, for others it is what the Doctors have ordered walking to become healthier and live a more productive life. Babies begin to crawl over the floor learning to hold on to things and pulling themselves up. Baby learns to stand, then takes a step. Trying to make another step, baby wobbles and falls. The big day arrives and baby is walking. In your walk with God, you begin as a baby in Christ Jesus, like that little baby. Yet it is a must that you grow, through studying and searching the scriptures. You must take steps of faith, being enlightened to the truth, that there is a struggle within you and me. The inward struggle with sin, yet you must keep on walking with the knowledge that the Holy Spirit frees you fron sin. Romans 8:1 assures you that, " There is therefore no condemnation to them wh

IS HE THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE?

while in your mother's womb, He knew you. Even before before your mother conceived you, He predestined you. Unaware of His divine presence in your life, you've encountered much hardships and trials, and have fallen prey to many of the enemy's snares. In the enemy's camp a divine call rings out loud and clear, leaving the enemy shaken and beaten down. The Almighty Arm of God rescues your captured soul, bringing you out of the dungeon of torment and fear, awakening a profound love that permeates your spirit. Every moment of the day, your thoughts are on the love of your life.With great excitement it is a privilege to talk with the love of your life, the whole night through and then to arise to read and study His word. Still, yet to spend hours after hours in prayer, just seeking for more of Him. Day after day it is still not enough. There is an hungering for more and more of His word, and an unquenchable thirsting for His presence. Yet there are times when it seems that H

IN ROUTE TO YOUR DESTINY

In route to your destiny, be careful of the spirit of pride, as God begins to prosper you before your very eyes. He will enrich your life with great wealth and substance beyond measure, making your name a house- hold one. Do not be lifted up with pride, for in route to your destiny pride is constantly on your heels. Remember the word of God, and may it keep resounding in your ears from Proverbs 16:18 " Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall."KJV Yes in route to your destiny always let the word of God richly dwell in you, keeping you humbly before the throne of God, Continue to forgive others, displaying the love of Christ even when your heart is broken, Psalm 51:17 says " The sacrifices of God are a broken and contrite heart God will not despise." In route to your destiny, has brought you under an open heaven, and the favor of God is upon your life. People will see it and will know that it is the Lord's doing. Make room to receive th

OVER BOARD

In the book of Jonah, chapter 1 gives a descriptive account of Jonah's call by God, to go and preach to the people of a powerful and wicked city named Nineveh. Jonah was afraid, even though he knew specifically what God was calling him to do. He did not want to do it. Fear made Jonah run away from God. Jonah's disobedience to God had endangered the lives of the ship's crew. While the storm raged Jonah was sound asleep at the bottom of the ship. Jonah apparently did not even have a guilty conscience about his disobedience to God. Suddenly he was awakened out of his slumber and lots were being cast to find out the guilty person, who had caused this fierce storm upon the sea. The lot fell on Jonah, with a sinking feeling, Jonah now realized that no matter where he went, he could not run away from God. Jonah understood that he had to first stop running from God, and do what God had called him to do. Jonah admitted that he was wrong, and was willing to give up his life to save t

RESURRECTION

looking through your window staring blankly, contemplating packing your family, and leaving your husband without a note or even a ggodbye. The marriage seemed to have died. The teenage boy hides himself from his parents and siblings and in desperation, he lights up a marijuana ( joint ) with- out the realization that he is in full view if his neighbours. The young boy's interest in school, and functioning in home life has died. Siblings have inherited generational proerities, yet their relationship dies because of their constant fighting over the properties. In your walk with God, you will discover that even though you have a relationship with Jesus Christ, there some areas in your life that need resurrection. Relationships have been broken, marriages have been breeched. The hurt and pain have become unbearable. Knowing of no other way to deal with it, you have buried your relationship, friendships, and your marriage, instead of dealing with each situation through prayer, and forg

THE PURIFIER

There are many methods of purification to meet your needs, such as drinking water, eating food, and then there is purification of the body internally, and externally. It is an absolute process, which is continual. On a daily basis, you eat an improper diet, consisting of food groups that are harmful to the body. You enjoy these meals because they are very tasty, you are not aware that, your system is becoming very toxic and in need of the purifying methods. As a people, we all have suffered the pain of rejection, being lied on, and betrayed by those closest to us. Experiencing abandonment, physical and mental abuse by those whom we love and yes, there is the soreness of regret and remorse. Deep within our souls, there is a cry for purification, there is desperation for the Purifier to heal all of the hurts in our aching hearts, and to erase the pain and agony. The purpose today is to allow the Purifier of our heart and soul to purify us. Make a decision now. Admit that you are hurting

THE SERVANT'S HEART

These words echo all across the land, "How may I help you? " How can I serve you? " May I take your order? " or " What can I do for you today? " The telephone operator very pleasantly says, " with pleasure to serve you, how may I direct your call? " The Bahamas being a Touristic destination, very often Tourist would write letters- back expressing the positive impact of a servants heart. They received such warm, and friendly courteous service! Hundreds, if not thousands are excited about returning! The home is buzzing with excitement mother is cooking a delicious meal. She has worked tirelessly, her fingers are worn to the born. Yet she does not complain! serving everyone in the house with a smile! Dad is serving too, providing, correcting, and instructing. The children soon realize that service with a good attitude is what really counts! Jesus Christ Himself is the greatest example of a servants heart. Everywhere He went, He took time out to serv

TO BE LIKE JESUS

To be like Jesus when slandered and accusations at you are hurled, is to answer not a word. To be like Jesus is to endure the humiliation the rejection and the pain of all it all. In your home the greatest battle rages, where you are put to the test, by the ones whom you love so dearly. Yet to be like Jesus you must not speak unkind words, to your family members nor swear to get even. Instead to be like Jesus you must humbly bow in prayer, and ask Abba Father to empower you to forgive them, like Jesus did. Allow God's word to constrain you to demonstrate that love, to conqueror every devil, transforming your home into a haven of refuge and love. To be like Jesus even in the midst of the most difficult times in your life, when hope seems to be fading. Yet there is a ray of light just up ahead of you, and may God your Father impart to you His strength to endure your time of great suffering, and the pain of rejection. Understand that it is only for a while, and that while is now ended

YOU ARE GOING ON!!!!!!!!!

You are going on, cost it what it may moving forward to your destiny, with boldness and in the strength and wisdom of Abba Father. You are going on amid the turmoil and conflict. The oppressors and the nay sayers, press you sore, Yet you are doing on, making the necessary sacrifices. Carefully walking in faith and obedience. You are going on even though friends have left and deserted you, you must obey the call. You are going on to a higher call. Oh the pain of rejection and being misunderstood, still you are going on. Knowing with complete assurance it will be worth it all, to fulfill your purpose and reach your destiny. You are going on knowing that, one day when your journey is completed, Abba Father will say " My child, you've completed your last assignment, you've encouraged someone for the last time, welcome home." You are going on with that expectation, walking in faith and obedience. I challenge you to go on in spite of the hurt and pain that you are feeling.

STANDING IN THE GAP

There are times in all of our lives that we experience what feels like crushing blows, one after the other. During these times, just as you are about to give up, strength and courage springs up mightily from within. The tears that was flowing down your cheeks ceases. You begin to feel joy again, and thoughts of hope return. The realization suddenly jolts you, and you realize that someone has been standing in the gap and praying persistently and consistently for you. Yes, God Himself has assigned intercessors to pray for us day and night. Standing in the gap, being instrumental in our many breakthroughs, healing and deliverance. It is so reassuring that Jesus Christ Himself is making intercessions for us. He is standing in the gap for all of us, for He is our High Priest. I encourage you today to get up, take a leap of faith, kneel sit, or stand right where you are right now and pray, for Jesus Christ is standing in the gap for you!!!!!

BURIED TREASURE

It is a known fact that, there are treasures buried beneath the sea. There are expedition teams that go on fact finding missions. They assess the site of the buried treasure and devise a plan to retrieve the treasure, sparing no cost. These expeditions are often very successful, bringing to the surface the buried treasure, whose value is of a rare kind. The hard work and dedication reaps big dividends. You and me were born with a purpose to fulfill. There is buried treasure that is locked up on the inside of you, waiting to be released. Working from nine am to five pm, earning a fairly good salary is very good. You maybe working on a shift job with great benefits. Yet you are feeling as if something is missing however, you cannot really pinpoint what it really is. Whatever working environment you maybe in, and you are feeling this way, I submit to you that, destiny is calling you. The buried treasure on the inside of you is ready to be released to the world. The time has come for you

LINT FREE

Definition Of Lint: Bits of loose threads fluff etc. The question is, have you ever put a garment into the washer with a load of clothes. With the feeling that it could spoil the whole wash, but you did it anyway, hoping that it would be okay. The washer has just completed its cycle of washing and rinsing. Now, with great anticipation, examining the clothing, you discover that the whole load of clothes is filled with lint. Some of the clothes are not able to be worn anymore, because of the fluff that is all over them. Immediately you remove the faulty garments and redo the whole wash. Most of the wash is restored, yet some are not fit to wear. A lesson is learned here, do not take short cuts in doing the laundry, and always remember some clothing are to be washed separately, so that the clothing will be lint free. We sometimes allow sin to invade our lives, just as that one piece of clothing spoiled the whole wash causing lint to spoil the clothing. Sin in our lives is like lint on clo

BITS AND PIECES

An explosive device is detonated leaving bits and pieces scattered across the field, the result is devastating. Emergency trucks and crew are on the scene, to administer help to the wounded.

THE POMEGRANATE

The hem of Aaron's robe was decorated with blue, purple, and red pomegranates. In the book of Exodus 28:33-34, " And beneath upon the hem of it thou shalt make pomegranates of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, and round about the hem thereof, and bells of gold between them round about. ' A golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, upon the hem of the robe round about." King Solomon decorated the temple of God, with the likeness of the pomegranate. The pomegranate is a round sweet fruit. It is green when young and turns red when ripe, there are also many edible seeds inside. The pomegranate since its cultivation in Palestine and Egypt from ancient times, grew as a bush or a small tree, reaching remarkable height of about thirty feet, with small, lance shaped leaves. The blossoms were bright red, and the fruit usually ripened in August or September. Definition and information taken from Nelson's New Illustrated Bible Dictionary. On the highw

Stay in prayer, and in the word for you are being equipped to be catapulted to your place of destiny. Yes your dreams have come alive!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SLACK NOT YOUR RIDING

Slack not your riding. Keep in pursuit of your destiny, move forward in faith, have no fear. 2 Timothy 1:7 says " For God has not given to you the spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind." Take authority over every situation that concerns you. Speak the word of God to them, speak to every dead thing that is laying dormant in your life. The God who gives life, your Creator Jehovah Elohim has given you, power and authority through Jesus Christ, to break down every idol in your life, and to cast out every foe. Make a decision today at this moment, to choose whom you will serve. It is time to stop procrastinating. Yes the time has come to put away lying and having a form of Godliness, yet denying the power of God. The time has come to live holy before God and man. You must stop deceiving yourself, you cannot mask or dress it up anymore, confess your sins to God. With Godly sorrow repent and turn away from every selfish way. The book of James 4:7&8 tell y

WITH NEW EYES

A young girl at fifteen tears of age finds herself struggling to see the black board at school, and request of her teachers to allow her to sit at the front of the classes. Gradually her sight begins to deteriorate even further, to the point of not being able to bear being in the sunlight, with water draining from her eyes. Her mother takes her to the Ophthalmologist who subscribes a prescription for a pair of very strong glasses. The glasses are very helpful, but unfortunately the young girl is unable to see anything without the glasses, as everything is a blur. At night time, the young girl would find herself sleeping with her glasses on. At the age of seventeen the young lady hears beautiful music down the street where she lived at the time, and there were crowds of people gathered there. She was immediately drawn to go and see what was happening. It was a street meeting, and just as she arrived the Evangelist beckoned and took her by the hand, saying "The enemy has plans for

THE MIRACLE OF EASTER

This year as I contemplate the miracle of Easter, I am reminded of a time in my life, where I struggled so hard in my walk with the Lord. Because three of my young children all had great challenges, and needed divine healing. Little did I know that breakthrough was, not only on the horizon, it was already dawning! Recalling from memory, very early in the morning one Sunday morning. Bidding my husband goodbye and running quickly to kiss my sleeping three young children, before leaving the house to go to early morning prayer meeting. At the church which is about thirteen miles from home. At the prayer meeting, there was an exceptionally warm atmosphere of fellowship and love. The elderly sisters especially, were for some reason encouraging me to continue to pray, and be faithful to God. The Leader of the prayer actually got up, in the presence of everyone present, and said these words. " Sister Margaret no matter how rough it gets, keep on praying, believe what God says in His word.

On a daily basis after combing her hair, the entire bathroom floor would be covered with locks of her hair, this continued for many years. It was very distressing, even her hairline began thinning, then balding. The doctors did not have a cure, instead a prescription was given to bring the hormones into balance. There were side effects from the medication, which made the loss of hair even greater. The young woman thought she would honor her head by weaving other hair into hers to continue to look beautiful.

THE PLACE

God wants to brings us to the place where we will not retaliate against our enemies, the place where we would not retaliate against our spouses. The place where we are not resentful, or judgmental, the place where we can love and display love in spite of persecutions. It is the place of spiritual maturity in Christ Jesus, this place will be your purpose and destiny. The place where we can yield everything including ourselves to our Heavenly Father, like Jesus did in the Garden of Gethsemane. Yes, the place of the cross, the place of suffering, the place of justice, being innocent, yet suffering unjustly without being bothered having no malice. The place of no back biting, no throwing of stones, the place where you suffer rejection, but you are able to pour love into even your enemies, yes it is the place of your purpose and destiny. It is the place where the fleshly nature dies, along with selfish ambitions and desires. Yet the inner man, the spirit man comes alive through Jesus Chri
