Nothing Shall be Lost.

O Lord, God of Israel, there is no god like You in heaven or on the earth, keeping covenant and showing mercy and loving kindness to Your servants who walk before You [in obedience] with all their heart. 2 Chronicles 6:14 The Holy Bible, Amplifed Version

No matter how great or small it is always significant unto Jehovah even though it may seem insignificant to others.Indeed many times they do not even thank you. You may think giving up your seat for someone on the bus or other small acts of kindness goes un-noticed by others but Jehovah is smiling and proud of you.

Even though it may seem small and insignificant to you, Jehovah takes notice of it. You are storing up Heavenly treasures and indeed what goes around will come around. So as you do good unto others so too will good come back unto you when you require it.

I have seen and experienced this pattern numerous times in my life. Now do not do these thing looking for materialistic rewards but do them because they are an act of love towards Jehovah and because it is the right thing to do.

“Nothing shall be lost that is done for God or in obedience to Him.”  John Owen

Prayer: Please Jehovah Heseh (God is love) bless me with a heart of love towards others as You have a heart of love towards me. Please bless me with opportunities every day to exhibit the light of Your Holy love into this dark world. I humbly request this in the name of the light of the world Jesus Christ. Amen

May the sunshine of Jesus’ sweet love fill your heart today and every day.

Remind Me How Much I Need

When the righteous cry [for help], the Lord hears And rescues them from all their distress and troubles. Psalm 34:17 Holy Bible, Amplified Version

It is in our greatest time of need that we grow the closest to Christ. The problem is to grow in our relationship with Him during the good times.

We see it not only in history but also in private lives.

Is it not curios that during the depression there was the greatest amount of church attendance but during the good times there is the least attendance in churches?

If you only call upon Jehovah when you need Him and neglect Him during the good times what makes you foolishly believe He will come to your aid at all?

“There’s nothing like a good crisis to increase my energy and remind me how much I need God.” Anne Christian Buchanan

Prayer: Thank you Jehovah-‘Uzam (The Lord is our Strength in Trouble) for blessing me with always being there with me through all my troubles. Thank You my love for always being there. I cherish our times spent together both in the good times and the bad. Thank you that it is in the times of trouble that You teach me so much. I praise Thee in the name of He who calmed the troubled seas for His disciples Jesus Christ. Amen.

May your house be filled with joy in the morning and sweet dreams at night. May it be a home where love has come to live. Joseph a son of Jehovah

No Man Can Fulfill His Calling.

                                            

Just as each one of you has received a special gift [a spiritual talent, an ability graciously given by God], employ it in serving one another as [is appropriate for] good stewards of God’s multi-faceted grace [faithfully using the diverse, varied gifts and abilities granted to Christians by God’s unmerited favor]. 1 Peter 4:10 Holy Bible, Amplified Version

I remember so many in my younger years bragging that they did not need anybody. They only lived for themselves. Now that they are older and in need of help there is no one to help them and they have no one to love them. They are depressed, lonely folks whose daily life is a living Hell of loneliness.

I have seen so many use their God given talents to help others. Now that they are older and in need of help they are surrounded with folks falling all over them helping them. Their is a contented life filled with love, joy and peace.

Jehovah has endowed each of us with a special talent that is to be used in the community. To neglect that talent or to use it for your own selfish ends is indeed a great sin in our Heavenly Fathers eyes. Those who neglect to use it for their God given purpose pay dearly for it in their elder years.

When you surround yourself with nobody but yourself you end up with nobody but yourself. Joseph a son of Jehovah.  

“No man can compass the ends of life by drawing a little line around himself upon the ground. No man can fulfill his calling as a Christian by seeking the welfare of his wife and family only, for these are only a sort of greater self.” Charles Spurgeon

Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Jireh ( God provides ) for blessing me with plentiful opportunities to enrich myself with the most precious treasure of all, those of the heart, every day. In doing so I know I am also enriching Your heart which enriches my heart all the more. I exalt Thee in the name of my greatest treasure Jesus Christ. Amen.

Wishing you A house full of sunshine, Hearts full of cheer, Love that grows deeper each day of the year. Welsh blessing

Something We Need to Inform Them.

                                                   

 This is something we need to inform them of in the liberal society that is trying to suppress our rights as Christians.

Yes, I am a Christian that believes the Bible is the ultimate truth. As such I do not support the homosexual  lifestyle nor marriages.                                                      

No, I am not judging you nor condemning you. Nor am I bullying you.                         

But just as I respect your choice I expect you to have the same courtesy, maturity and respect towards mine. I have the right to speak publicly just as much as you do. THAT, is True equal rights as well as mine under International Law.universal-declaration-human-rights                      

Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance Article 18                                                                         

No one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy, family, home or correspondence, nor to attacks upon his honour and reputation. Everyone has the right to the protection of the law against such interference or attacks.Article 12                                                  

Everyone has the right to freedom of peaceful assembly and association Article 20                

Nothing in this Declaration may be interpreted as implying for any State, group or person any right to engage in any activity or to perform any act aimed at the destruction of any of the rights and freedoms set forth herein Article 30 What article 30 is say is that if your country makes any laws that are not in conformity with this treaty and they signed this treaty, the country’s laws cannot be enforced. Indeed, this is something we need to inform our politicians of as well as our judges.

Prayer: Please Jehovah-Ganan (The Lord is Our Defense) bless me with Divine wisdom to gracefully but firmly stand up for my rights when persecuted by the wicked ones so prevalent in today’s society that constantly attempt to shout down to drown out the truth and suppress others rights to accommodate their own filthy wicked lifestyle. I humbly request this in the name of He who always stood for what is right Jesus Christ. Amen

May the sunshine of Jesus’ sweet love fill your heart today and every day.

Did My Soul Become.

                                                  

 The one who is taught the word [of God] is to share all good things. Galatians 6:6 Holy Bible, Amplified Version

This is something I believe is needed in our society today. Instead of the me generation we need to be teaching the younger generation the We Generation.

So many folks are chasing after pleasure in the material world only to discover that there is an emptiness inside them. That emptiness is love for others.

I do not know of any who volunteer in the community that suffers depression.

The greatest treasure is the richness of the heart. The only way to enrich yourself in this treasure is to give it away. The more you give away the greater your treasure will be. Joseph a son of Jehovah

As well, when the community is involved in doing volunteer work within the community there will be less vandalism because folks have invested time in the community. So if people volunteer to do clean up in a park they are less likely to vandalize it. When they go and cut the grass or shovel the snow out of a needy neighbours property they will be less likely to vandalize it or do a break and enter there.

The less I spent on myself, the more I gave to others, the fuller of happiness and blessing did my soul become. –Hudson Taylor Prayer:

Thank you Jehovah Heseh (God is love) for blessing me with teaching me how to be loving towards others and then providing me with ample opportunities to exhibit Your divine love within my local community. I exalt Thee in the name of He who was and is the perfect example of love Jesus Christ. Amen.

May the gentle assurance of Jesus’ sweet love encompass you today and every day. It is in our greatest time of need that we grow the closest to Christ.

It is in the Past that I see Myself Today.

                                       

You shall teach them diligently to your children Deuteronomy 6:7 Holy Bible, Amplified Version

One of the interesting things in tracing your family history is that it is in the past that I see myself today. It is a repeated pattern of dispositions that is in the genes that is passed on from generation to generation. In my case one side of the family is true villains while the other are saints.

Here is the amazing thing though, when we dedicate our lives unto Christ He burns off the dross (the bad dispositions) while replacing them with Godly ones. It is not something that is accomplished in a day or week. Sometimes it takes decades and even then some bad dispositions remain. I believe that the bad dispositions are permitted to remain so that we are dependent upon Jehovah to keep them under control.

“One must always maintain one’s connection to the past and yet ceaselessly pull away from it.” Gaston Bachelard

Prayer: Thank you Jehovah El Deah (God of knowledge) for blessing me with sharing Your knowledge about my past with me to explain my dispositions to me. Thank you for working with me to burn off the dross of the undesirable inherited traits and replacing them with Your Divine traits to mold me into a Holy child of Yours. I exalt Thee in the name of my Beloved big brother Jesus Christ. Amen

May Gods sunshine always bless you with brightening your day with His love, joy and peace. Joseph a son of Jehovah

                                                

Who are they?

 

And Jesus was saying, “Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing.” Luke 23:34 Holy Bible, Amplified Version

Who are they?

Have you ever wondered that?

Just who was Jesus asking to be forgiven?

I do not believe it was the scribes nor the Pharisee’s. They knew what they were doing and history proves they were punished severely for their actions.

Then, who are they?

I believe it was the Roman soldiers who were responsible for beating and crucifying Christ. To them, they did not realize just who Jesus was. He was just another criminal to them. They were doing their job and would have been brutally punished if they refused to obey

. How many are in the same situation when they harshly treat Christians in a country where they are not well known? To them the Christians are just trouble makers and upset the stability of the country where they live. Do you think they will be forgiven as well?

Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Elohay Mishpat (the God of Justice!) that I need not fret over true justice being met out when left in Your Divine hands. I praise You in the name of the Supreme Judge Jesus Christ. Amen

Wishing you A house full of sunshine, Hearts full of cheer, Love that grows deeper each day of the year. Welsh blessing

Think of This

                                                                                                                                              

And if you have not been faithful in the use of that [earthly wealth] which belongs to another [whether God or man, and of which you are a trustee], who will give you that which is your own? Luke 16:12 Holy Bible, Amplified Version                                                       

Think of this verse before you a go asking Jehovah to give you anything.                              

If you show up late, do not do your job or do not do it properly, leave early and or take days off why should you expect Jehovah to give you anything if you cannot be trusted with your job?                            

So if it is your duty to run a machine and do not take proper care of it why should you expect Jehovah to give you a house or car if you have proven you cannot or will not take care of the machine that is your responsibly?   

If you are dishonest and steal from your employer why should you expect Jehovah to bless you with a better neighbourhood to live in?             

The less I spent on myself, the more I gave to others, the fuller of happiness and blessing did my soul become. –Hudson Taylor (1832–1905)

 Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Emunah (God is faithful) for blessing me with untold spiritual blessings as well as material ones when I give unto others as a gift of love unto You. I exalt Thee in the name of He who gave His blood for my salvation Jesus Christ. Amen

May the gentle assurance of Jesus’ sweet love encompass you today and every day.

Suffer the Consequences.

                                                         

An inheritance hastily gained [by greedy, unjust means] at the beginning Will not be blessed in the end. Proverbs 20:21 Holy Bible, Amplified Version                               

Unfortunately in todays society we see too much of children and grandchildren abusing their elderly parents and grand parents. They are useless freeloaders. The only time they have anything to do with their parents or grandparents is when they want money from them. If the parents and or grandparents need any help they children and or grandchildren are too busy to help. This is greedy and abusive.

 Beware, God is not mocked. He is a God of justice. Abusing your parents or grandparents is one of the filthiest thing you can do in the eyes of Jehovah and His hand will be heavy upon the wicked children and grandchildren.                                     

One thing I have noticed a change in recent years is that the parents and or grandparents get fed up with it becoming cold hearted towards the children and grand children and completely disinherit them.                                                 

The children and grandchildren are so used to leeching off of their parents and grandparents they are usually in debt and expect the parents and or grandparents to bail them out. When the day of reckoning comes the parents and grandparents turn their backs on the children and grandchildren and they lose everything.                                                        

 Just as the prodigal son in Luke 15:11-32 went and blew his inheritance on himself and material things so too is todays generation. The difference is the prodigal son was repentant where as todays generation is too full of pride to repent and suffer the consequences.

Leech off of your parents and or grandparents today, lose everything tomorrow. Joseph a son of Jehovah

Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Ghmolah The God of Recompense.The God of vengeance that you have assured us that the wicked shall be punished for their cruel selfishness while delivering true justice. I extol Thee in the name of the Supreme Judge Jesus Christ. Amen

May the gentle assurance of Jesus’ sweet love encompass you today and every day.

The Original Superstar.

                                                                                                        

Now it happened that while Jesus was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret (Sea of Galilee), with the people crowding all around Him and listening to the word of God Luke 5:1 Holy Bible, Amplified Version   

Have you ever watched these pitiful creatures wait in line for days to get a ticket to go to a concert featuring a so called musical super star?

They wait in rain ,heat, cold and snow. When they get their tickets they are ecstatic.

Or how about these foolish folks you see on TV when on the Opera show, you see their faces? They are clinging to her every word.

What a disgrace.

For me, I cherish being in the presence of a true super star. His name is Jesus.

There is no line ups to be with Him nor is there a special pass to spend time with Him. He is always readily available.

What makes Jesus a super star is that He loves me and cares about me like no one else can. He is always there when I have problems, listens patiently while I cry my heart out to Him and then gently blesses me with the best advice, far superior to anything you get on those TV shows.

When was the last time you crowded around Jesus, yes you can have your Bible but it is also good just to talk with Him from your heart?

When was the last time you worshiped Him like the ultimate super star He is?

Jesus Christ is the original and ultimate Superstar. Joseph a son of Jehovah

“To believe God is to worship God.” Martin Luther

Prayer: Thank you Jehovah-Elyon (Lord Most High) for being the ultimate superstar that is gracious enough to bless me with communion with You. I praise you in the name of He who I love to worship Jesus Christ. Amen.

May the gentle assurance of Jesus’ sweet love encompass you today and every day.
