What’s Your Way To Finding Unity & Agreement in Your Marriage ?

“A marriage is not when the ‘perfect couple’ comes together. It is when an imperfect couple learns to enjoy their differences”.
Dave Meurer

Yesterday morning I was in position to view a telecast on The Word Network. Well let me just say that this came about through my obligation to serve on the prayer line for my local churches TV broadcast. Following the program...
me and one of the ministers at the church stayed in position for a while to receive any incoming calls for special prayer.

Now listen to this, another program came on immediately with a husband and wife that was sharing their early marriage life experience with the church. Their names Michael and Connie Smith from The Church Group. Casually dressed, and both sitting one on each side at a large oak desk. The husband began by talking about the experiences he had in trying to surprise his wife. Well you know that ladies love surprises. Sad to say it seemed like everything he tried she found out about it.

She would find out what he did through credit card records, or persons would end up calling his wife to confirm things when it was suppose to be a surprise. Imagine this someone calling the recipient of your gift after your already stressed to the company that it was a surprise. Bear in mind, it was stated by the pastor but the person making the call notices AFTER being in conversation with the wife that it was suppose to be a surprise. What do you do with people who let your work go down the drain? Hmmmm ! Let me see…..Heyyyyyyyyyyyyy stop right there before you go to far. Now let’s get back to this story.

Well she was the one who ran all the financial records so she had to question certain things. For him to work around this he had to go to other people and borrow, make purchases through them and reimburse.

Well you know why the wife was operating that way? She saw it happening in her house between her mother and father. Which goes to show you that some people only carry out what they see someone else do. At Christmas she would set the budget and the husband was not consulted for his input. Even though he wanted to go out and enjoy the shopping experience to.

He stressed the importance of husbands and wives working together to hear one another’s input before coming to final decisions. All this happens through the skill of communication. Knowing when to hold the breaks and make peace is important in communicating with one another. It is far better to make peace than to end up in a place of sorrow and repentance for hurting your spouse. The fight for peace may not be easy but “Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God” Matt. 5:9 (King James Version)

And so husbands and wives, even though you may not see eye to eye on everything- you have to make up your mind you are going to keep peace on your side. One of the main reasons you have to make it is, people are depending on you. Your children, your family, friends, church folks, and even the single people that are looking up to you.

On that note, my prayers go up for you today whatever state your marriage is in right now. I pray for the spirit of unity and agreement to abide in your life, your marriage and at your house. May you have good success in every area of your life.

Jesus Christ is still coming again and I’m sure when he returns he wants to met you and your spouse together.

What about your marriage life ?What do you do to keep peace, unity and agreement ? Come on now, if you know you have a good recipe to share on this then let everyone in on it. Remember there are others coming after you.


Do you know how to tell ladies from men now that they both wear pants? The one listening is the man.

Take care until.....and God bless ya

Are you ready to face eternity? If you have not you accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour and desire to make that commitment now please repeat the following prayer:

Lord Jesus be merciful to me a sinner. I realize that I have sinned against you and come short of your glory. I confess that Jesus Christ is Lord and I believe in my heart that God has raised him from the dead. I pray for your forgiveness and ask that you save me now and accept me into your kingdom. Give me eternal life today.

In Jesus Name, Amen.

The Champion’s Prayer

“A winner is someone who recognizes his God- given talents, works his tail off to develop them into skills, and uses these skills to accomplish his goals”

Larry Bird (former NBA player)

Hello Champion,
What does Tiger Woods, New York Giants, Boston Red Sox, San Antonia Spurs,Venus& Serena Williams, Randy Orton, Bill Gates, Oprah Winfrey, Yahoo, Google, Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears a Who, have in common?
They all know what it is to be a champion.

I want you to know that there was a process that they had to go through to make it to the place they are in. There were opponents, obstacles, tests… but they did what they had to do to become what they are.

Well I hope you remember that there is a Champion in you. Yes regardless of what you are faced with right now. Prov. 23:7 “For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he”. Rom:37 “…we are more than conquerors through him that loved us” . You will never become a champion if you don’t think like one. This is key in setting the proper foundation. Above that, and even more important, Pleasssssssssse don’t forget this. You must look to the right source for help on this quest.

There is someone available to be your mentor, coach, trainer, financial aid, etc… He knows the obstacles you will come up against, opponents you will face, when you will face them and How to win against them. I speak of none other than…. Jehovah Himself. God The Father, Son and Holy Ghost. He is the best one for the job and with his help you can make it.

Therefore I have the following Champion’s Prayer that you can make use of as you begin each day. Also use it to help others bring out the champion in them.

Finally here’s a big tip I learnt lately:

Watch What Losers Do & DON”T Do It.


Take are until… and God Bless ya.

The Champion’s Prayer

Heavenly Father,

Because the words of my mouth are important, I need you to help me guard the words of my mouth. You made my mouth. Now help me to use it to bring glory to your name.

Help me to say the words, that you will want me to say in every situation.
Help me to say the things that will build me up and others.
I know that death and life is in the tongue, but I choose life.
I choose to take the position of a champion.
I declare that “I AM A CHAMPION.”
Against all odds, against obstacles, against giants, “I AM A CHAMPION”.

I have champions eyes, so I see like a champion.
I have champions ears, so I hear like a champion.
I have a champions mind, so I think like a champion.
I have a champions heart, so I allow champion things in and out of it.
I have a champions mouth, so I speak like a champion.

God you said "let there be light",
And there was light.
You saw what you said.
Today, I say let the champion arise in my life,
And let me see what I say. I AM A CHAMPION.

In Jesus Name, AMEN.

Is Google in Trouble & Facing Bankruptcy?

Hey out there,
Hope your having a great weekend.
Here's some info. I think you really can use like right now.

[NEW YORK - Wednesday] - by Devon Melk. Rumors are now running amok that the 2nd most powerful website on the entire Worldwide-Web mayfile BANKRUPTCY, with the deadline set for this December; being the date of both discharge and dissolution in a Federal Court of Law.


This would come as a SHOCK to investors and "Googlers" alike who both profit and benefit from the use of the World's largest and most powerful search engine which receives far in excess of 100 MILLION unique daily visitors and well over 300 million individual searches daily - making it perhaps the single most valuable public data resource as an "information bank" online the world over.



But is the rumor true or false?



The origin of the rumor occurred when some savvy Internet marketers began making statements that they had heard "insiders' talk" that the company (now publicly traded since April 30, 2004, just over 3years ago) may face financial disaster with the release of a "new system" that would allow advertisers to get their other wise pay-per-click (PPC) advertising completely free.


This, of course, would naturally lead directly (like a domino-effect) to the collapse of Google's sibling program AdSense; as its only revenue comes from the direct sales of AdWords "clicks."



The "new system" in question and responsible for the controversy over getting AdWords pay-per-clicks free is that developed byDr Jon Cohen of New York City, New York (now retired) who discovered a simple, yet effective means, for getting Google PPC ads without having to suffer the costs involved.



The retired New York doctor and native has a publicly disclosed networth now in excess of $70 million [US], having generated well over$377 million in product sales from sixteen (16) separate online businesses within just nine (9) years since first venturing online in 1998 (about the same time as Google was founded).



It is estimated by company insiders and leading financial analysts that the "good doctor" (as he's called by "all who know him") purportedly saved well over $93 million (some estimates suggest closer to $136 million) in otherwise paid advertising at Google and the other major players in the PPC targeted-search arena online -including Yahoo, MSN, AskJeeves, AllTheWeb.com, HotBot, AltaVista,Lycos and Netscape, just to name a few.




The "secret" became available to the general masses last April, and its very release caused such a major sweeping stir among the community of Internet-marketers, affiliate-marketers, webmasters,ecommerce company owners and surfers alike that the site quickly rose to break the top most visited 1,000 websites on the entireplanet briefly; and as can be seen here:



http://tinyurl.com/39lnjn (Alexa data on this!)



When asked if the "secret" would somehow ruin Google, Dr Cohen revealed almost cryptically that it actually would bring about just the opposite effect, and "stimulate" even more business volume forthe virtual giant.



Many people were dismayed to find that Google itself is deliberately allowing the purchase of 100,000's of PPC ads offering the secret system to the general public -- which indicates to most observers that either they [Google] haven't caught it, or they simply feel that it somehow is not a threat to their continued operation.



For anyone's inspection factual and hard evidence supporting this can be seen by simply looking to the right-hand column when doing a search for "get google ads free" (specifically in quotation marks) at Google.com under the "Sponsored Links" section.


Or take this direct and instant SHORTCUT:



http://tinyurl.com/2ctu6j



You can also see nearly 100,000 specific results in the "organic"fields index located in the center and which occupies the bulk ofthe results pages.



One would think that if Google felt threatened by such a release as this earth-shaking "secret" is, they would hardly allow for either paid-ads or organic content to make the top searches regarding it.



However, evidence supports to the contrary - and this being the case now for a full six (6) months.



Mysteriously, within just two (2) hours of its initial release last April, Google itself actually did in fact 'pause' the parent firm's attempts at advertising the new system using PPCs on their search engine - only, however, to release the hold after a Review Team consisting of some of Google's top executives completed performing an in-depth investigation and made the determination to ALLOW theads to run.



The secret system was recently revised however to include "major new content" and "more exhaustive instructions," and is now available at its Home Site:


http://tinyurl.com/258ys3


The most important addition is that of a so-called "string of code"(tech-talk for some HTML) that can be added to any webpage(s) that instantly causes the elimination of the page owner's AdWords costs right away.



Even a "live" woman spokes-representative ("Rachel") has been added to the site, and who appears to literally walk out onto the webpage and talk to visitors and explain a bit more how the mysterious new breakthrough system works.



Since the addition of this new "live" spokes-woman has now appeared at the site, company Vice President of Sales & Marketing, Mr Todd Coutrin states that "sales for the system have skyrocketed above2,430% suddenly and with no limit in sight."



Coutrin continues: "With the newest revision now in place, plus all the additions added, affiliates for the new system can expect to earn even more than ever before!" (Note: Affiliates make up the bulk of the firm's sales generation.)



The refund rate for the new revised version of the secret (namedV5.1) has dropped to less than half of what it was before the newer version's release; meaning it's now even more readily-received and put to use than ever before (perhaps in large part to the newer simplicity of application) - now making it the safest and one of the best resellers for the networks of affiliate marketers who earn their revenues from the reselling of other electronic publishers' stock and digital product lines.




When asked, Google company representatives stated matter-of-factly that the rumors of bankruptcy for the ecommerce giant are simply not true, and that the rumor millings are in fact simply the result of "panics" brought on by the usual hysteria associated with anything large, new or revolutionary - or in this case, all three.



Attempts to contact both Sergey Brin and Larry Page, the formerStanford University students who founded Google in 1998, to requestcomment were unsuccessful.



Again, Google itself seems to be the biggest supporter of the "new system" as it's allowing more and more advertisers to promote the new system on its search engine before over 100 million daily searches and surfers.



Thanks for reading that's it for now



take are until......and bless ya

Am I My Brothers Keeper Or Killer ?

"It is folly to punish your neighbor by fire when you live next door."
Publilius Syrus (~100 BC)

In light of the increase of crime & violence in our nations and world, it’s a question that you need to ask yourself. Do you only think the persons doing harm are those that use guns and knives?
Haven’t you harmed someone at some time in our life?

If you really stop for a moment and think it may have been less than a week ago or maybe even a day. Whether it was a response to someone’s action toward you or your initial doing it still counts as wrong toward your brother/sister.

But in every wrong you have done there is always hope. You can still improve your love & kindness toward your brother/sister. Of courrrrrrrrrrrrse it hurts when people wrong you. It’s a sign that you are still alive cause your feelings are working. Know that God always wants you to live in love.

Have you been experiencing that it is getting harder to be your brother’s keeper. Especially when you’re at the place when you need help yourself. You need someone to come to your rescue but everyone wants you to come to theirs. Let me suggest to you that it is the plan of the enemy to keep us from reaching out to one another.

4 Reasons To Be Your Brother’s Keeper

1.You please God - As God sees you reach out to your fellowman he is pleased to see you demonstrate the love that he has put in you. Most definitely God will not forget your labor of love. “… Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me” Matthew 25:40 (King James Version)

2. No man is an island - Others need help just like you need help. Everyone needs someone in life. Your make up will not allow you to function perfectly on your own. The faster you help others the faster God can help you. You never know when you are going to need help in life. Who you try to help now can reap great benefits in your future. “Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free” Ephesians 6:8 (King James Version).

3. You Cause Others To See The Light - When you show real love and help your brother, people will see something different in you than what’s taking place in the world. Light will begin to shine, as you can be identified as one of Christ’s. “By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another” John 13:35 (King James Version). People take note and remember something done more than something said. So if you want people to remember how much you care then do something they will remember.

4. You Influence Others To Do It - Many people are waiting on someone to take the initiative in doing what is right and needs to be done. Everyone sees problems but few are doing something to bring solutions. Even though many people see what needs to be done, they don’t have the courage it takes to step out and be the first or set the pace. Everyone wants to be a part of something great, but someone has to get it started right? Why not be that one to keep love flowing in your area and be your brother/sister keeper. You may not be able to help everybody but you can help somebody.

Take the time to do something for your fellowman and God will make the time to do something for you.

Take care until…. and bless ya
