OPEN YOUR EYES!!
Don't get lost in the moment and miss the movement!
"Lord , I pray, open his eyes that he may see.” Then the Lord opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw. And behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha. Behold, I will do a new thing, Now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness And rivers in the desert. (II Kings 6:17; Isaiah 43:19 NKJV)
OPEN YOUR EYES! Now that you can see...LIVE!!
Don't be fooled, open your eyes and stand strong keeping your faith and trust while you continue to operate in The Calling from God on your life.
"Everyone sees it. God’s work is the talk of the town. Be glad, good people! Fly to God ! Good-hearted people, make praise your habit." (Psalm 64:10, 9 MSG)
Love this motivation, encouragement and reassurance from God’s Word this morning!
Let's Go Deeper!
"So the Lord spoke to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to His friend." This is what the Bible tells us about the relationship between the man Moses and God in Exodus 33:11
The Psalmist pens this in Psalm 103:7, "He made known His ways to Moses, His acts to the children of Israel."
The people of Israel got to see the Staff turn into a serpent, the Nile turn to blood; the Death Angel; the parting of the Red Sea; the Manna, Water from a Rock and many more acts of God. But Moses wanted to GO DEEPER than the acts of God, Moses wanted to KNOW THE WAYS of God..."Please, show me Your glory". (Exodus 33:18)
Moses wanted to know God's ways: His Goodness; Grace; Mercy; Love; Compassion and ALL that is God.
We get excited and focused on the acts of God and what He can do, has done and continues to do...and that is OK. But I challenge you and I during this season of fasting, reflection and repentance to ask God to show you His way or like Moses asked, "Show me Your glory"!!
God says to Moses, "I will also do this thing that you have spoken; for you have found grace in My sight, and I know you by name." (Exodus 33:17) - Continue reading how God honored the request of Moses in Exodus 33.
Blessings upon blessings for your day as we seek to GO DEEPER in God!
Stop spending all of your time and energy trying to be important in the eyes of people. Seek God and be about His purpose for your life because it is His will to make you more than important; He wants to make you EXCEPTIONAL!
But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.” (I Corinthians 2:9 NKJV)
Get into God's Word today and find out what else God says about YOU! God doesn't need important people...He's making ordinary people like you and me, EXCEPTIONAL!!!
The best thing that we can do while here on this earth is to make up our minds to Get Real, Get in Position, Get Serious and to be a Blessing to someone by making an Investment in PEOPLE!
There is absolutely nothing more important than PEOPLE. We must focus and have it in our heart to Share, Sacrifice, Study, Serve and Sow with PEOPLE as our primary goal.
Oh yeah, get it in your heart today to help someone and to bless someone with who you are and with what you have and watch God bless you!
"God is not unjust; He will not forget your work and the love you have shown Him as you have helped His people and continue to help them." (Hebrews 6:10 NIV)
My wife is a Middle School Special Education Teacher Assistant. Yesterday, she received a "Professional of the Year Award Nomination"! She pours all that she is into the children that she has in her class/care each and every day. I am honored to be married to such an amazing Woman of God...my very own angel here on earth. Her nomination certificate is pictured below, GO BABE, GO...You're making an investment!
God's Word doesn't say to destroy the one who is doing wrong, but His Word says to RESTORE the one who is doing wrong. Let's make sure as Christians that we are RESTORING and not destroying one another for things that we are doing outside of the will of God.
"Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted." (Galatians 6:1 NKJV)
What is greater than money, fame, position and reputation? Eternity!
For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? (Mark 8:36 NKJV)
Want to standout; stand-up to be recognized; and held in high regard, GET SAVED! Now that's cool 😎
There's a family today that will be attending a funeral. Just two weeks ago, they were planning many things for them to do together.
Yesterday, many other families said their final goodbyes to their loved ones and you can guarantee that funerals will be held again tomorrow.
One thing is certain, we all know death, we will all be affected by death and eventually we will go through death.
May our souls be known in Heaven and may our salvation be secured in Christ Jesus. Let us not leave our families wondering and fearing over the state of our souls. Seek The Lord today, He's waiting for us to believe and to trust our eternity in Him!
"Let Your mercies come also to me, O Lord — Your salvation according to Your word." (Psalms 119:41 NKJV)
"Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another" (Romans 12:10)
I received this delicious pan of cornbread by surprise last night just as I was sitting down to dinner. Talk about being kind! Thanks Pastor Beverly! BTW, I ate an entire row by myself! 😆
Ministry (People-Development)
Know this, God's in control, not you or I. Trust His Word, His love and His plan for your day and every day that follows. Go and be fruitful, which means live abundantly by sharing with others the love of God, not only having the Fruit of The Spirit, but by abundantly producing more fruit (making Disciples or developing Kingdom people)!
Don't worry how you will do it, again God is in control and He will do it. Don't be afraid because producing fruit is why we're here (be fruitful and multiply).
"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” (Joshua 1:9 NKJV)
