And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account. Hebrews 4:13 New King James Version
Do you believe that you are having an affair and that you can keep it a secret?
Do you believe that you can cheat a client and they will not discover your fraud?
Do you actually believe you can go through school cheating on exams and it will not be found out?
There is only one word for people like this and that is stupid.
You will be found out and when you are oh what shame you will suffer.
Not only that but it will destroy your life.
Your marriage will be ruined and because you will have the reputation of being cheat good luck on finding and keeping a good spouse.
Not only will you lose your client but you will be branded as a thief and good luck on getting a good position with any decent company.
When you go for a job interview after completion of school and they ask questions about your field and you cannot answer it because you do not know because you spent your time on cheating instead of learning good luck on getting a respectable career.
Isn’t oh so true then that honesty truly is the best policy?
Prayer: Please Jehovah Shammah (God is amongst us) bless me to always be aware that my Kings eyes are always upon His ambassador and that my conduct is to be Holy unto my King. I humbly request this in Your kingships name. Amen
May the sunshine of Jesus’ sweet love bless you today and every day.
“This is the thing which the Lord commanded you to do, and the glory of the Lord will appear to you.” Leviticus 9:6 New King James Version
Do you think this is what Jesus was referring to when He mentioned the Kingdoms treasures?
Do you think the people in Jesus’ time were more concerned with obeying the Law and the Pharasees?
How about you?
Are you more interested in obeying the churches rules and society’s rules than obeying Gods Law?
Could that be why your communion with God is dead and you do not feel Him walking with you?
I do not know about you but the churches I have attended I would never follow their advice because it was more concerned about following church doctrine than Christs and about being an obedient zombie to the church leadership that being obedient to Christs leadership.
Prayer: Please Jehovah Sabbath (Jehovah Lord of the Heavens) bless me to tune in to Your wise voice and to tune out to those whose profess Your name but are following their own doctrine. I beseech You in the name of He who refused to be politically correct but was God correct Jesus Christ. Amen.
May the sunshine of Jesus’ sweet love bless you today and every day.
Fools mock at making amends for sin, but goodwill is found among the upright. Proverbs 14:9 New International Version
The proud believe they will not lower themselves to apologize for their sins. God promises revenge upon the unrepentant. The fools do not believe justice is coming their way but a time will come when they get their one upance and it will afflict them seven times worse than it does for the repentant.
The repentant find grace when they fess up to their sins and forgiveness. As well they gain respect.
There have been times when I did wrong to someone (either knowingly or unwittingly) and I repented of them face to face (that is the mature thing to do as a letter is for the weak and is insincere). If the wrong was done in public the repentance was done in public, if it was done in private the repentance was done in private. Many times the one I had done wrong to had authority over me and could have severely punished me. They were so impressed with my humbleness and sincerity that they did not punish me.
Now if it was due I repaid for the sin (for example one time I over estimated the work done and was paid for it. When I realized the mistake and discussed it with the contractor he was so impressed he refused to accept the money I offered in repayment). Everybody on the contract thought I was crazy to do this but my conscience with my Beloved and with my employer was clear.
If you have done someone wrong, go make amends quickly, the longer you wait the more difficult it becomes.
If you are arrogant do not laugh it off and think you are getting away with it, it will catch up to you.
You only think you are getting away with it. God will get you back seven times seven in His time, in His way. Joseph- Anthony: Green
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah-Hashopet (The Lord is the supreme Judge) for convicting me when I did wrong and teaching the proper manner to make what was done wrong done right. I pray You convict others in the same manner so as to avoid Your terrible and just punishment towards the unrepentant. I humble pray this in the name of the true judge of justice Jesus Christ. Amen.
May the sunshine of Jesus’ sweet love bless you today and every day.
If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, and one of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? James 2:14-16 New King James Version
When we are Christians we are all members of the same family.
Part of being a member of a family means we are concerned for each other.
That means we are to not only pray for a brother or sister when they are experiencing some difficulty but we are take action when we can.
So if you see a brother or sister in financial difficulty we are to offer financial counseling if it means they do not know how to make and keep a budget.
If we see a brother or sister having difficulty with a subject at school we are to offer them free tutoring.
If we see a young couple experiencing marriage or parenting difficulties and we are older we are to offer then words of advice from our experience.
Christians are not to be spectators, we are called to action. Joseph-Antony: Green
Prayer: Please Jehovah Chanan (God is gracious) enhance my spirit to be attuned to the needs of others, to be given the skills and resources necessary to accomplish the task so that their lives will be blessed with relief and support and that glory will be heaped upon You. I meekly request this in the name of He who abundantly gave to those who were hurt, lost, lonely, afraid and sick Jesus Christ. Amen.
May the sunshine of Jesus’ sweet love bless you today and every day.
To the pure, all things are pure, but to those who are corrupted and do not believe, nothing is pure. In fact, both their minds and consciences are corrupted. Titus 1:15 New International Version. It starts out as small as a dandelion seed but soon completely infests the mind.
What is it?
Sin.
Sin is a strong weed that will destroy the good garden of life if permitting to take seed. Joseph- Anthony: Green
What is the best weed killer for sin?
It is to admit it is stronger that we are, if the proper steps are not taken it will smother the joy out of our live and will slowly destroy us.
What are the necessary steps we must take?
It is to surrender it to Jehovah and to pray for the Holy Spirits guidance and power to destroy this wicked weed or weeds. Most times the weeding will not occur overnight but takes years if not decades to destroy.
Sometimes it is only by the power of the Holy Spirit that the sin is eradicated because it is too strong for us. Sometimes we have to get outside help as well as the Holy Spirits power and sometimes we need to work as a power team with the Holy Spirit to destroy the sin.
For one of mine it took three decades. For another it was instantaneous.
Once the weeds are eradicated we must be on our guard to ensure they do not return. The wicked gardener (satan) will rarely come at you head on but will be sneaky and use little temptations. If you give in the weeds quickly invade your soul.
Satan is a sneak in the darkness, that is why it is so important for the Christian to constantly be walking in the light. Joseph- Anthony: Green
Again that is why it is of utmost importance you need constant communion with the Holy Spirit. This is accomplished by constant reading of our Bibles, praying and if need be, be in support groups.
When He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth. John 16:13 New King James Version
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah-‘Ori (the Lord is my Light) for lighting my way in a world surrounded by darkness. Thank you for being such a marvelous gardener to pull the weeds from my heart while they are small and weak. I exalt you in the name of the greatest light of the world Jesus Christ. Amen.
May the sunshine of Jesus’ sweet love bless you today and every day.
When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the fatheroflies. John 8:44 New International Version
If you believe Satan and his lies he will draw you deeper and deeper into a living Hell and ultimately a permanent one.
He will tell you that you are worthless or that you are a super star. Either way he destroys you.
If you believe Jesus, that you are a child of God, you will know that you are always loved but never idolized.
For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God Romans 8:14 New International Version.
So my question to you is: who is your daddy?
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Abba (God our Father) for the magnificent blessing of enjoying the most awesome relationship with the most loving Father. I joyously adore You in the name of Your cherished son whose blood made this blessing possible Jesus Christ. Amen.
May the sunshine of Jesus’ sweet love bless you today and every day.
The only thing big about demons is their moths. They are full of lies and have no power over you.
Jesus gives you the power to completely defeat them every time.
Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. Ephesians 6:11-17 New International Version
When tempted why not say what I do:” I belong to Jesus you filthy creatures. Be gone from me and by the power of Jesus go to Hell where you belong”.
I find they leave me alone.
Call upon Jesus in faith when you feel overpowered and He will come charging in.
His incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength. Ephesians 1:19 New International Version
Prayer: Thank you Jesus Christ Nissi (Jesus Christ our Warrior King who leads the charge) for being the most valiant King who consistently defeats the evil ones who are stronger than me but are wet spaghetti before Your infinite power. With I abundant exhilaration I abundantly worship You Amen.
May the sunshine of Jesus’ sweet love bless you today and every day.
Then Moses said to them, “No one is to keep any of it until morning.” However, some of them paid no attention to Moses; they kept part of it until morning, but it was full of maggots and began to smell. Exodus 16:19-20 New International Version
The Lord brought the Israelites enough food for each day. Some people refused to listen and hoarded more than they needed and it became destroyed.
How many times do we do the same thing?
The Lord provides enough for us but instead of sharing our excess we hoard them.
Look at our money, how many people share with the needy their excess compared to how many either hoard it in the bank or spend it on themselves?
How many people have so much stuff they must rent storage space instead of giving to the needy?
The blessings then become a curse as we become more concerned about our stuff than being appreciative of the Lords blessings and sharing them?
Beware.
The Lord will take those blessings away from you.
If you desire the Lords blessing you must have a heart of gratitude and sharing.
This service that you perform is not only supplying the needs of the Lord’s people but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God. Because of the service by which you have proved yourselves, others will praise God for the obedience that accompanies your confession of the gospel of Christ, and for your generosity in sharing with them and with everyone else. 2 Corinthians 9:12-13 New International Version
On the flip side the Lord commanded them to gather enough on the sixth day so that they would rest on the seventh. Again, some people refused to listen and when they went out on the seventh there was no manna.
Nevertheless, some of the people went out on the seventh day to gather it, but they found none Exodus 16:27 New International Version
How many times should we save for a rainy day but do not, then when the hard times come we have no manna?
Isn’t it interesting that the place where they were wandering is called the desert of sin?
Prayer: Please Jehovah Jireh (God our provider) bless me with the wisdom to know how, when and where to invest the excess finances You have blessed me with in a way that brings praise to You and brings the lost sheep to You. As well my love, please bless me with the wisdom to make wise investments to be available when the cubboards are empty. I humbly request this in the name of He who invested His earthly life in His service to You Jesus Christ. Amen.
May the sunshine of Jesus’ sweet love bless you today and every day.
As we read through the Book of Exodus we see the Israelites curse God and tell Him to leave them alone.
When God delivers them from slavery they bless Him.
When their backs are up against the sea with the Egyptians coming to destroy them they curse God.
When He delivers them they bless Him
So it goes throughout the entire book.
How many times do we do the same thing?
God may bring difficult trials and tribulations to us or allow them to happen and we curse Him. When He delivers us we praise Him.
I have learned the hard way that when the trails and tribulations come to trust Jehovah that He is always there and He see’s the big picture. It not only brings us into a deeper loving relationship but make the trials and tribulations that much more bearable. Another benefit is that it makes me grow more in Him.
Prayer: Please Jehovah ElHeenu (The Lord is our God) discipline me whenever I begin to take one step away from Your presence and insult You during my times of tribulation that in reality is Your blessing to burn off the destructive dross from me to make me more Holy. I always have a deep desire to bless You for I know everything that happens in my life is a blessing from You. I adore You my love for this blessing in the name of He whose blood made this blessing possible Jesus Christ. Amen.
May the sunshine of Jesus’ sweet love bless you today and every day.
Even there Your hand shall lead me, And Your right hand shall hold me. Psalm 139:10 New King James Version
You will find that sevens are a special number in the Bible. Look at the blessings and curses it Deuteronomy and you will see that the blessings and curses always come in sevens.
When I first walked away from Christ as a teenager in very troubling times in my life it was for seven years.
Then I felt Jehovah calling me away from the farm to the city. There I was blessed with learning of Jehovah and the Law of the Old Testament. As well I learned Natural Medicine which I have been using for thirty years to help people. Another thing I learned in those seven years was to serve Christ by serving others. I spent seven of the most cherished time doing volunteer work in a hospital.
The next seven years was a move to a different city because of racial discrimination against whites in the city I was living in. In this city I again walked away from the Lord and got into the wrong crowd for seven years.
From there the Lord called me to go tree planting. In those first three years I learned how to plant in the forests in the mountains. After that I began to teach rookies while at the same time learning how to plant tree’s on the coast (which is much more difficult and dangerous and another season). After that there was seven years teaching rookie planters and foremen.
This was preparing me for the next move which was to go to China to be a teacher.
It took me three years to learn how to teach them because they learn different from us in the west.
After that was seven years teaching in one city instead of moving from city to city every six months. Here the Lord taught me how to share the Gospel with others.
Then the Lord called me to teach by being a writer, which took me three years to learn everything necessary while honing my style.
Have you ever thought of how the Lord works in sequence in your life?
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Rohi (God is our Sheppard) for all the incredible guidance You have abundantly blessed me with throughout my walk with You on my journey to Heaven. I joyously salute You in the name of the most wise, graceful and meek Sheppard Jesus Christ. Amen.
May the sunshine of Jesus’ sweet love bless you today and every day.
