To Admonish Someone is Like.

 We [earnestly] urge you, believers, admonish those who are out of line [the undisciplined, the unruly, the disorderly]. 1 Thessalonians 5:14 The Holy Bible Amplified Version

To admonish someone is to tell them that they have done something wrong.

Now we often hear the mantra from those who desire to be held unaccountable that the Bible says we are not to judge others. They are willfully ignorant of that meaning. To judge others in that manner is to be a hypocrite and self righteous.

To admonish someone is like telling someone that drinking and driving is wrong.

So too it is with those who abuse others kindness.

We often see it dealing with welfare bums. They foolishly spend the money the county gives them (they certainly do nothing to earn it nor make any attempt to improve their situation because they are lazy free loaders), usually on tattoo’s (which makes them look like freaks in a side show). Then they come to Christian organizations and cry baby they have no money for food (While showing off their latest tattoo- I have seen it many times).

Wise people think before they act; fools don’t—and even brag about their foolishness. Proverbs 13:16 New Living Translation

To give them one penny is a sin. That is because we are to be good stewards of the money that is given to the church by its members to help the needy, not the lazy ungrateful ones. We are to inform them that they need to grow up and take responsibility for their own lives. Let them go a month without support and see how fast they grow up. They give feeble excuses why they cannot work (usually because of bad nerves).

The lazy one [manufactures excuses and] says, “There is a lion outside! I will be killed in the streets [if I go out to work]!” Proverbs 22:13 The Holy Bible Amplified Version (when in reality there is no lion)

Unfortunately, I have seen too much of it in society today because they are encouraged to by the satanic cult (they are called liberals. Which favourite mantra is not my fault your fault to be lazy).

I believe if the church desires to help the poor, they need to offer them assistance to learn job skills, how to handle their fiances, how to prepare home cooked meals and other such meaningful life skills. If someone comes with their hand out and refuses to help themselves, it is the churches duty to slam the door shut in their faces.

If anyone is not willing to work, then he is not to eat, either. 2 Thessalonians 3:10 The Holy Bible Amplified Version

Is that harsh?

Yes it is. How harsh do you think Jesus will be on them when they must pay the price for worshiping satan instead of leading a productive Christian life?

Do you find it a coincidence that most welfare bums are also drug addicts and breed like flies on a dung pile all while screaming like spoiled brats for the county to give them more (free swimming lessons, free medical, free food, free place to live)?

Is that not satanic

We are to give but, we are to give wisely. Joseph a son of Jehovah.

Prayer:Thank you my Heavenly Beloved Jehovah El Deah (God of knowledge) for the countless blessings You have graciously supplied me with every day. Please bless this servant of Yours on the best manner in which to utilize them for Your glory and to advance Your Kingdom of Light into this dark world. I humbly request this in the name of He who walked away from those in His home town without miracles because it would be a waste Jesus Christ. Amen

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

Should Provide for Their

 Those who are taught the word of God should provide for their teachers, sharing all good things with them. Galatians 6:6 New Living Testament

Unfortunately today, as in years gone by most congregations are niggardly towards their pastors. I know times are tight, they always have been.

However, what say there is a challenge amongst all congregations that everybody in the congregations work the same hours as the pastor, this includes not just making and sharing the sermon but in visiting the sick in the hospitals, having Bible study classes, doing counseling classes and attending church meetings. I dare say you will be a stranger to your family.

Then, see if you can get by on what you pay them for food, housing costs, school and after school activities and what kind of a vacation will you have?

The average pastor is over worked, underpaid, underappreciated and over demanded upon. Joseph a son of Jehovah

What say you show a whole lot of appreciation for him not just today but every week.

Prayer: Please bless me Jehovah RAB (The Lord my Nourisher) with the means to nourish a pastor as You have nourished me. I humbly request this in the name of He who nourishes me all the way to Heavens Gate 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

By Doing Right You May

For it is the will of God that by doing right you may silence (muzzle, gag) the [culpable] ignorance and irresponsible criticisms of foolish people.1 Peter 2:15 The Holy Bible Amplified Version

Do you notice it says:” by doing what is right”. It does not sat by saying what is right.

The old saying of action speaks louder than words is oh so true.

There have been numerous occasions when tongue waggers have attempted to gossip about me. I just ignore them and continue on in my duties. Many times they mock me because I am having difficulty preforming my duties. They watch me suffer and place wagers on when I will quit. The thing is though, that through it all there is constant prayer unto my Beloved for strength and wisdom to succeed. Then, just like in the old movies when it seems as if all is lost and then the Calvary comes a charging to the rescue, so too it is with me. Although this is a real life experience not some movie. Everything seems to just fall into place as if by Divine hands putting together a jig saw puzzle. The irresponsible, arrogant ones are left stupefied on the success.

No, it is not my success but rather Jehovahs through the Holy Spirit that victory was gloriously accomplished.

So, when you are doing right and it seems like you are not progressing and everyone is laughing at you just remember this: Jehovah is not laughing at you but will be laughing at your tormentors.

When you are doing anything in Gods direction, do not listen to the nay sayers or you will fail. Have faith in Jehovah and you will be blessed with a glorious victory. Joseph a son of Jehovah

Prayer: It does not matter what anyone says oh Beloved Jehovah Nissi (Jehovah is my Banner I shall follow Your banner of righteousness all the way to Heavens Gate. I make this vow (that will be accomplished with the help of the Holy Spirit) in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen

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

I Have Seen God.

For ever since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through His workmanship [all His creation, the wonderful things that He has made], so that they [who fail to believe and trust in Him] are without excuse and without defense. Romans 1:20 The Holy Bible Amplified Version

I have seen God and so have you.

We have all seen stunning sunrises and sunsets. The have left us all in awe.

The smart ones say:”Wow, You are so majestic my Love. Thank you for sharing this with me.”

The stupid ones say:”Look at the pretty sunset or sunrise mother nature have given us.” That is idol worship because they are giving credit to a fictitious entity instead of the creator of the sunset or sunrise. That is stupid but unfortunately very common today. I wonder, do they really believe there is a mother nature?

We have all seen God in natures ballet, a gentle snowfall.

The smart ones say:”Wow, You are so graceful. Thank you for sharing this beautiful delicate ballet with me, my Love”.

The stupid ones say: “Look at the pretty snowfall mother nature has given us to play in.” That is incredibly stupid but how many times do you hear it on newscasts?

We have all witnessed the awesome power of lightening storms and the ground shaking under our feet.

The smart ones say:Wow, You are truly all powerful and grandiose my Love.”

The stupid ones say:”Boy is mother nature ever mad today.”

There are countless ways in which Jehovah reveals Himself to us every day.

The smart ones worship Him in awe, with respect and love.

The stupid ones laugh at us and write it off to some lunatic deity. They will think up any excuses to write Jehovah off as a fairy tale. They do this because they are arrogant and selfish. They know that to admit there is a Supreme God that they must worship and obey Him. That means they cannot worship their god, which is themselves. THAT is why they will do everything they can do to dispel Him. We might just as well talk with a wall, it listens just as much as the fools do.

“Arguing about God’s existence, I hold, is like arguing about air. You may affirm that air exists, and I that it does not. But as we debate the point, we are both breathing air all the time.” Cornelius Van Til

Prayer: Thank you GELAH RAZ (Revealer of Mysteries ) for blessing me with opening my eyes to reveal all Your fantastic beauty in nature and by extension Your stupendous beauty and love that You enjoy sharing with me. I sing Your praises my love in the name of He who I enjoy walking with me and talking with in Your incredible creation Jesus Christ. Amen

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

I Did Not Have One.

 For I know the plans and thoughts that I have for you,’ says the Lord, ‘plans for peace and well being and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:11   The Holy Bible Amplified Version                                                                                                                 

When I was a boy, it seemed as if all the other children had their lives planned out. It was the usual scenario. Get married, have a job, have a house a fancy car and have children. Funny how the majority of them have lived from one disaster to another instead of fulfilling their dreams.     

I did not have one though. 

Oh, there was occupations I wanted to be in, which Jehovah accomplished in unusual ways (which is normal for Him).

Now Jehovah moved me to places and occupations I did not want to go or to do, in fact there was a lot of kicking and screaming on my part. But, in the end, I was obedient and fulfilled His desires with all the gusto I had.                                           

Looking back in life it is funny how everything I wanted to do as a child came to fruition (except one. I have never been married and had a permanent home). More was accomplished through obedience unto Him than could ever have been dreamed of on my own.                                                                

Oh what an amazing God I love and am honoured to serve, even now, in my elder years.

“We must be willing to get rid of the life we have planned, so as to have the life that is awaiting us.” — Joseph Campbell

Prayer: Thank you Jesus Hamelech ( Jesus my Lord King ) for blessing me that You have guided my life in a manner in which glorifies You and which is exceedingly rewarding to me. Yes it has been difficult but that is what brought us ever so closer throughout it all. That is the greatest reward in life there could ever possibly be. As well You have steered me away from terrible calamities. I exalt You in Your all wise name. Amen

May you be blessed with the gift of love, the gift of peace, the gift of joy. May you be blessed with numerous opportunities to share these gifts with others today.

All for What?

 Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Philippians 4:6 New Living Translation

Worry is a thief.

It robs you of your physical health, it robs you of a good nights sleep, to robs you of your mental health, it robs you of your personal relationships.

All for what?

Most times the things I worried over never happened any way. And whether way it is always out of my hands so why waste your time and energy ?

It has taken me a life time to have confidence in Jehovah. Now, I just thank Him for being such a loving Father and have faith in that it is in His capable hands.

Worry is an insult to Jehovah. Joseph a son of Jehovah

When or if He directs me to take action I obey Him because of faith that it will bring success. If He says not to take any action my hand remains still because of faith that if my hand moves it will only bring disaster.

“Worry is a conversation you have with yourself about things you cannot change. Prayer is a conversation you have with God about things He can change.” unknown

Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Shalom (The Lord blesses with Peace) for blessing me with Your Divine peace as I lay everything at Your feet. I have complete confidence in Your provisions in every aspect of my life. I exalt You in the name of the Prince of Peace Jesus Christ. Amen

Wishing you a house full of sunshine, hearts full of cheer and love that grows deeper each day of the year. Welsh blessing

But Pray for A

. For His loving kindness prevails over us [and we triumph and overcome through Him], And the truth of the Lord endures forever. Praise the Lord! (Hallelujah!) Psalm 117:2 The Holy Bible Amplified Version

It took many decades to believe this.

There was those terrible yeah buts that always came in like a flash when Jehovah asked me to do something for Him. If you think Moses was good at giving excuses at the burning bush, you should have heard some of mine.

We all go through it.

Jehovah is patient with us.

He begins with most of us by asking small things and enlarging them as our faith in Him enlarges as well. Now there are times when He will ask us to jump over canyons but we need to have faith the the jump will be completed on the backs of angels the Lord sends to help in the jump as well as His mighty hand. I have been through a few of them and He was always there with me, through it all, leading me to triumph both for His glory and for my joy and amazement at just what we accomplished together.

“Be brave. Do not pray for the hard thing to go away. But pray for a Bravery to come that’s bigger than the hard thing.” Ann Voskamp

Prayer: Thank you Jehovah ‘Uzam (The Lord is our Strength in Trouble) for blessing me with strength to not only endure the hard times but to grow through them to mould me into and every stronger child of Yours. I thank you in the name of the strongest of them all Jesus Christ. Amen

May you be blessed with abundant joy in your heart filled with love and your life overflowing with laughter every day this year.

That is What We Are!

 See how very much our Father loves us, for he calls us his children, and that is what we are! 1 John 3:1 New Living Translation

If you notice with my quotes they are always from: Joseph a son of Jehovah. That is because that is exactly what I am, a son of Jehovah.

When we accept Christ as our Saviour it is by His sacrifice that we become children of the Divine God. Therefore, that makes you a son or daughter of Jehovah.

Has kind of nice ring to it does it not?

Now do not go getting a big head about it and becoming pompous. Jesus is Jehovahs most special son and He was never pompous so what right do we have to be so either?

If we desire to know the proper manner in which is the royal protocol of Jehovahs kingdom we need to study how is most cherished Son behaved as He walked amongst us.

“The Son of God became the Son of man so that the sons of men might become the sons of God.” — Terry Fullam

Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Abba (God our Father) for blessing me with the supreme privilege of adopting me into Your Holy Family. It is the most precious gift to be ever given. May I always be blessed to live a life that consistently brings glory and honour to Your Sacred name. I praise You in the name of my cherished big brother Jesus Christ. Amen

Whatever is beautiful, whatever is meaningful, whatever brings you joy, may you be blessed with an abundance of it this every day this year.

To be Nothing.

Even though I am nothing at all.2 Corinthians 12:11 New Living Translation

Saul was a pretty big man in the Jewish community. It was when He met Christ that he learned to be nothing of Himself so that he would be everything for Christ.

Notice I said he “would be” not could be.

It was only when Saul died that Paul began to live.

So too it is with us.

We the individual must die so that we will become children of Jehovah and servants of Christ. It must no longer be me first in our lives but Christ first in everything in our lives that we truly become royal servants.

“Believers have not been distinctly guided to see that nothing is more natural and beautiful and blessed than to be nothing, so that God may be all…” — Andrew Murray

Prayer: Thank you Jesus Hamelech ( Jesus my Lord King ) for the honour of being a humble servant of the most high of King of Kings. It is a great tribute to receive such a high calling. I glorify You in Your highest majestic name. Amen

May love be in your life, may hope be in your heart and may peace be in your every day walk with Christ.

What is Idolatry?

 Nothing evil will be allowed to enter, nor anyone who practices shameful idolatry and dishonesty. Revelation 21:27 New Living Translation

Jesus is talking about those forbidden from entering Heavens Gate.

Do you see how repulsive idolatry is to Him?

You think you do not worship idols?

How about your pets? I have seen many pets rule the house instead of the owner. Yes I love our pets like they were my own children but instead of worshiping them, I thank Jehovah for blessing me with such loving creatures. See the difference?
