Stop Boring Your Angels

I know many days it feels like every thing that could go wrong has gone wrong. What I want to help you realize is why is everything going wrong. Before you jump to any conclusion please give me another moment. Not everything that goes on wrong in your life originates fromexternal sources. If you allow me to ask, what if the problem is you? I know that may be hard to swallow but I do include myself also in this scenario.

Here’s the deal, the words that come out of your mouth can produce good or evil fruit. This means it will result in life or death, "Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof" Proverbs 18:21 (KJV).This is why the current affairs of your life should not surprise you at times. If stop to think long enough you will remember some words that you have said in the past.

Let me help you, “Nothing good ever happens to me” , “I hate my life”, etc. Today I come as a reminder to let you know that you must watch what you say. Not only you hear what you say but there are angels and devils also listening.

God has special angels that he has assigned to your life. Let me inform you that you are responsible for giving them work to do. Every good word that comes out of your mouth you are keeping your angels active. Imagine declaring “I will have favor today”. “The Lord is blessing me right now”, “All my needs are met”, “God shall supply all my needs”, “I am in good health”.

Every statement like these you are declaring by faith. As you do it your angels are doing their part to work it out. All you have to do is keep putting these positive words in the atmosphere. Many times we allow our angels to get bored waiting around for us to give them an assignment. Are you guilty of this offense? Imagine having all the personal help you need and not taking advantage of it. Your angels are ready to defend, provide, protect.

On the other hand every negative word spoken you attract evil spirits and devils. Most often it is because of this why so much drama is in your life. You say “I’m broke”, then you end up with broke drama, “I can’t see no way out”, “Ain’t nothing good coming out of this” , “things are going to always be like this, “I don’t feel like living.”

Whatever you speak is what you will give permission to add to your life. Sometimes our environment and upbringing contributes to this. It doesn’t matter how long something has been going on in your life remember you have the power to change it.

If you find it difficult saying positive things there are always resources out there to help you. You can learn how to get a smart mouth. Why don’t you help your angels start making some good things happen for you.

“God always has an angel of help for those who are willing to do their duty.”
T. L. Cuyler

Warning : 4 Things Your Friends May Be Doing To You

“Friends may come and go, but enemies accumulate”.
Thomas Jones

I want to talk to you about this subject that will have a great impact on your life now and later. I know it may seem bold of me to make this claim even before I tell you these important facts. I know that I only have a few minutes of your time but I’ll hurry on if you just give me a few.

F.R.I.E.N.D.S. Oh no not the television show. I am talking about the ones that are a part of your life. These are the people that have the potential to add value to your life. You must be careful how you choose them because your investment of time and effort is too precious to waste and become unfruitful. So here it goes: -

1.Friends influence your tomorrow.
You must realize that these are the ones that will be in your future. This is why it is important for you to know where you want to go in life. If you don’t make a decision about your destiny then someone will make it for you. If these are people you will spend time with then you need to at least make sure you want to head down the same road. Whether you realize it or not tomorrow is coming faster than you realize. You don’t want to get caught by surprise.

2.Friends push you closer or take you away.
Do you know what your life’s assignment is? Yes, you came here for a purpose. That is why you need to be in pursuit of discovering it. The more you are aware of this then it will help you in your choice of friends. As you aim to fulfill your purpose you will get joy in connecting with people who will help push you closer to it. Otherwise, if allow, there will be volunteers that will gladly take you swiftly away in the other direction.

3.Friends increase or decrease you.
As allow people into your life you will notice signs of increase or decrease. This can be from anything along the lines of knowledge, wisdom, experience, money and the like. Take the time to know yourself. You should be able to discern what is going on with your life and see what changes are taking place. Bear in mind you must be willing to give and take because you have to also add value to others life as well. So don’t be too quick to release others before necessary.

4.Friends help give birth or abort.
After all this time I know you must have a dream inside you that you want to give birth to. This can be a critical stage in life because you must be careful who you share your dream with. Everyone cannot handle what God wants to do in your life. There are some people that appear to be happy for you but are only camouflaging what they really feel inside. Because there has been so much failure in their life they don’t want to see you succeed. That is why some people try to get close to you in order for them to get a good shot at aborting your dream.

It would be kind of you to share your thoughts on this matter.

12 Things To Appreciate About Christmas

“Happiness will never come to those who fail to appreciate what they already have.”
Author Unknown


There are certain things in life sometimes you don’t agree with, especially when the true meaning of the subject somehow gets lost. It only takes one person to get the truth twisted and it seems like others spread it like wild fire.

We have just celebrated something that is of great importance to the whole human race, Christmas or the memory of the birth of Jesus Christ. With that said I would just like to share with you 12 things to appreciate about Christmas : -

12. Love - somehow more people see the need to love one another at this time. I wonder why we hold back throughout the rest of the year.

11. Giving - people feel a stronger urge and are compelled to give to others.

10. Family- they see the need to make more calls, spend more time together and appreciate one another.

9. Events - for most people there is no time for a dull moment as there are so many activities and events going on than you can handle.

8. Communication - seems like even those who don’t communicate all year find some way to communicate.

7. Prizes - even the merchants find it necessary to offer incentives to the would be shoppers.

6. Children - they are on everyone’s mind at this time.

5. Holiday - another day off with pay and extra for those that have to work.

4. Decorations - from homes, workplace, churches, communities, to cities. The beauty of ornaments and lights are a sight to see.

3. Music - where we all can find a few songs that we can sing together.

2. Church - the time to hear and reflect on the true meaning of the season.

1. Jesus - if you forget the previous numbers that’s OK, without him this
celebration would not have existed.

Have you ever struggled to make a conscious decision on what to do in a given situation? Many things in life is not as easy as choosing multiple choice of true or false.

Some things must be tested by other methods and from different approach. Thank God I came across something that can help both of us.

As I was looking over some material to prepare for a youth session the following information stood out to me. The good news is that you came to mind. Whether I know you personally or not you are still special to me because you took the time to read this.

I know you may be in a hurry so let me speed on with this. The following is an excerpt from “The Teenage Q & A Book” by Josh McDowell & Bill Jones. I see these as things even adults can put into practice. It sure will help us live better lives.

“When you wonder if something is right or wrong, ask these questions. They will help you make the right choice:

1. The Personal Test: Will doing it make me a better or worse Christian?

2. The Practical Test: Will doing it likely bring desirable or undesirable results?

3. The Social Test: Will doing it influence others to be better or worse Christians?

4. The Universal Test: Suppose everyone did it?

5. The Scriptural Test: Is it expressly forbidden in the Word of God?

6. The Stewardship Test: Will doing it involve a waste of God’s talents invested in me?

7. The Missionary Test: Will doing it likely help or hinder the progress of the kingdom of God on earth?

8. The Character Test: Will doing it make me stronger or weaker morally?

9. The Publicity Test: Would I be willing for my friends to know about it?

10. The Common Test: Does it reflect good, everyday, common “horse” sense?

11. The Family Test: Will doing it bring credit or dishonor to my family? ”

That’s it for now. Be sure to familiarize yourself with these to get started on your way to better choices and a successful life.

Please let me know what you think about this.

4 Reasons Why You Can Do It

“He that is good for making excuses is seldom good for anything else.”
Benjamin Franklin

It doesn’t matter what task that you have before, you can accomplish it. You are God’s nominee to get the job done. Don’t allow obstacles to stop you from being victorious. Here are four quick reasons why I believe you have what it takes:


1. You are alive

People that are alive have a very big advantage. They are not dead.
Because you are alive you have the opportunity to change your circumstance.
Because you are alive you have the opportunity to make it happen.
Because you are alive you have the opportunity to make a difference.
Because you are alive you have the opportunity to impact your generation.

There was a reason why Herod wanted Jesus dead.
There was a reason why the devil wants you dead.
Dead people are no threat to the living.
When you are alive you have the opportunity to get a picture of who you are.
When you are alive you have the opportunity to help someone.

Just because you are alive you are a threat to the enemy.
That is why there is always an attack against you.
You hear things like, “you aren’t anybody”, “you are crazy”, “you are never
going to be nothing”

Use your life to make it happen.

2. You Were Born Able

“11 And the LORD said unto him, Who hath made man's mouth? or who maketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I the LORD?
12 Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt say.” (Exodus 4:11-12) God explained to Moses he made his mouth. No excuse is legitimate with God.

“ 30 And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.
31 But the men that went up with him said, We be not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we.” (Numbers 13:30-31) When God says empowers people to say go and posses the land he’s telling you that the way is prepared, I gat this, just take over cause it’s yours.

How many times have you heard things that belong to other people and they don’t have it? This is because someone else took it over. When he said go posses the land, you think the all knowing God didn’t know that giants were going to be there. In any circumstance you have favor, giants or not.

3. You were chosen for it.

“But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;”(I Peter 2:9) Most definitely you were selected, picked out, chosen because God had his eyes fixed upon.

Out of all the choices in the world God chose you. When your father impregnated you mother you were created. It could have been someone else. You were the one to make it out of your mother’s womb. God chose you for a reason and you must consider yourself special. More special than candy actually you’re the Apple of God’s eye.

After all that don’t you think it will hurt God if you say I don’t want you? You were chosen for a purpose and God intends for you to fulfill that. God knows what he was doing when he made you. The choice you made can affect your journey (to better walk with God, life, relationships, better grades, scholarship, career, etc.)

4. God Has Your Back

“Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.”(Is 41:10)

When people turn on you God will stand for you. You know why God allows it to look like you are failing or can’t do it? His strength is made perfect in weakness. The exciting part of the movie is when it looks like the bad guys win then all of a sudden…. You know what happens.

How do you see your life? By the media? It’s easy to give up around negativity. Don’t just stand by watching to see what happen. Who is going to reach this world if you don’t help?

5. You Have The Tools Needed

The Word of God
“Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.” (Matthew 4:4)
“Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.”
(Psalms 119:105)

The Name of Jesus
“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
(Rom 10:13)

The Blood of Jesus
“ And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.”
(Rev 12:11)
