To God be the Glory

“Beloved, do not think it be strange to the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you; but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ’s  sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy” (1 Peter 4:12, 13). 


You are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood; may this day you serve someone in the name of Jesus giving all glory to God. 


The Bible tells us the world as we know it is drawing to a close (1 Peter 4:7). Today, many theologians present believable validation of the end-times and point to current events that appear to match Bible prophesy. Though Jesus declared no one will know the hour of His coming we are warned to be alert for His return.  In my spirit, I too believe we are near to these end-times. I say; “Come Jesus!” In (1 Peter 4:7) we are reminded of this and to be serious with our prayers and watchful in the coming days. In the meantime, we are to love one another fervently; because as the apostle Peter said, “love will cover a multitude of sins.” He went on to instruct us to be hospitable to each other and to be so without any grumbling. We should use the gifts God has given us to serve Him and one another so He is glorified.

Do you know what your spiritual gifts are? Read (1 Corinthians 12) and (Romans 12:4-8). I encourage you to use the gift given to you by God, using it as a good steward and with the manifold grace of God. Each and every one of us has at least one gift of God. We are to use our gifts to help each other and to do so to the glory of God.

Maybe your gift is ministering to the needy, or maybe you feel led to pray for others. There are many spiritual gifts and like I said, we all have at least one. Maybe your gift is praying for the healing of others with laying-on-hands and anointing them with oil. God uses ordinary men and women as He heals His people. He equips us with extraordinary faith and uses us as efficient conduits for His healing power. For sure, all healing is from God! Healing is as much apart of our salvation as the forgiveness of our sins is! Healing is still a part of God’s perfect plan for mankind until the coming of His Son Jesus. As believers, we will then be given perfect bodies without pain, without suffering and without any diseases. As believers, we are all heirs to the throne with Jesus. At the time of His coming our work on this earth will be finished. Hopefully, we will all exclaim; To God be the Glory!  

“Do all to the glory of God” (1 Corinthians 10:31).

Our Walk With God

“Listen, my son, accept what I say, and the years of your life will be many. I guide you in the way of wisdom and lead you along straight paths. When you walk, your steps will not be hampered, when you run, you will not stumble” (Proverbs 4:10-12). Our lives are built upon our first step, and   then proceed step after step after step thereafter. As infants we learn to crawl, then stand and eventually to walk to the waiting hands of our proud fathers and mothers. Our walking skills can develop into running skills; some of us will go on to run races, some will even run long distance marathons, but it all begins first with our desire to walk. The Lord tells us to listen to what He says to us through His Holy Spirit and the years of our lives will be many; as we go through life, our steps will not be hampered; when we hurry through our impossible daily schedules and race through our lives, we will not stumble.   All successful runners have a professional trainer, our trainer is ...

God’s Family

He provides resources for the family “For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, and abundant in mercy to all those whom call upon You” (Psalm 86:5). God’s plan for marriage and the family, in the Bible, is intended to be ideal, full of prosperity for every member. Would you say this describes your family? Maybe, maybe not, however, even if your family has missed His mark His Word deals with life realistically. Many of us experience some aspect of failure or serious disappointment with the way our family is living. Many families today are divided by divorce or living as single-parent family units. God alone can provide the needed resources and the loving care vital for the needs of these families who are dealing with life. If you are having trouble in your family turn to Jesus. He is your primary resource for forgiveness and your hope for renewal (Ephesians 1:7).   He forgives no matter if the failure is yours or it is one of those times when someone else fails yo...

GLORIOUS!

"Shout with joy to God, all the earth! Sing the glory of His name; make His praise glorious" (Psalm 66:1,2)! Hallelujah! Praise to our King! See how glorious He is! He is our awesome God! He is our Healer, our Counselor, our Morning Star, our heavenly Father, our Savior and our Redeemer. He is our Lamb of God, He is our Maker, our Sacrifice, our Bridegroom, our Living Water, our Helper, He is our Blessing, our Bread of Life, our Sweet, Sweet Song, He is Abba Father...let us make His praise glorious! He is Yahweh-Jehovah, Jehovah-Elohim, Jehovah-Elyon, El Shaddai, Jehovah-Jireh, He is Jehovah-Tsidqenu, Jehovah- Shamah, and He is Jehovah-Tsebaoth...let us make His praise glorious! What's in a name, and why would we sing the glory of God's name(s)? Often a name provides an important clue to the nature of a person. This is definitely true of God. The Bible refers to God by many different names, each one referring to some aspect of God's character or His relation...
