Are You Persistent?

     On this morning I am reminded of the story of  The Tortoise and the Hare. The hare was so sure he would win the race because of the slow pace of the tortoise. The hare was so confident in his ability that he decided to stop along the way for a rest. When the hare came to himself he awoke to find the tortoise had won the race. We could all learn a lesson from the tortoise.
     I want to know on today who will embrace the mindset of the tortoise and continue to press towards your purpose, your destiny, your assignment until you see it come into fruition. See the bible I read declares that the race is not given to the swift or the strong but the one who endures to the end. Do you have enough stamina and fortitude to press forward into that God ordained place which he ordained for you before the foundations of the world? Despite the obstacles, the setbacks, the disappointments, the rejections, the naysayers, and the critics. If you will continue to rise each morning and seek God for his wisdom, guidance, and direction I guarantee you will begin to see what you have been believing and standing for come into existence.
     Don't worry about the pace at which others are running, just remain in your lane looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of your faith. Don't compete, compare, or complain.
     Consistency and persistence are the keys you need to cross over into your purpose!

Faith Under Fire

    I can remember like it was yesterday standing in front of the fireplace to warm my hand and legs on a cold winter day. My grandfather would always have the den warm and toasty for us when we came in from outside playing. Our family would sit in the den for hours and watch the fire and listen to it crackle. Sometimes the the fire would die down, but my paw paw had a remedy for that. Just outside the door he kept a wheelbarrow with some pine wood which he used to ignite the fire again. In a matter of seconds the fire would be backing burning fierce.      And sometimes our faith is just like my grandfather's fire, extremely hot and it slowly fizzles out. So what cause our faith to stall out during those critical times? Well many things! We can become discouraged when we don't see the manifestations of God's promise come to pass on our time watch. Doubt, unbelief, and worry will cause your faith to fade away. The lies of the enemy and others he uses to bring ne...

Hands Up!!!!

Hands Up! Thus I will bless You while I live; I will lift up my hands in Your name. (Psalms 63:4)      This morning as I was standing in the kitchen pouring my coffee and watching the rain fall from the sky I heard the voice of the Lord say unto me, “lift up your hands!” The lifting of the hands is a sign of surrender and reverence. If the police were to stop you their first response would be for you to get out of the car and lift your hands. The purpose of lifting your hands indicates to the police you are in agreement and will not try anything tricky. It also shows you are not hiding anything. This same principle applies in the spiritual realm as well.      So many times as believers and non-believers we try to be so strong when we are faced with various test and trails in life. It is during these times of storm that we truly begin to realize our natural strength often fails us. Proverbs 3;5-6 reminds us to trust in the Lord with al...

iGod Is Near and All You Need

iGod(My God) Is Near You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore .      Over the past few years the cellular phone industry has changed in a major way with the birth of the iPhone. Once the iPhone hit the market all other cellular phone companies had to go back to the drawing board and design a product which surpassed the iPhone introduced by Apple. Why was this phone so special? What capabilities did the iPhone posses that others did not offer? The main reason everyone switched from the current brand of cellular phone to iPhone was simple. One device was able to perform the task of many devices; it is so amazing how one thing has the power to alter the lives of so many. Our God, the iGod has the power to transform the lives of all who seek him.      There is something about iGod! There is an indescribable feeling that comes over me when I begin to focus my ent...
