But in the History Books

David was considered one who was close with Jehovah but in the history books he was known as the warrior king. So much for a godly man being a door mat for the wicked. Joseph- Anthony a son of Jehovah

Wisdom from a Senior

After loving my parents, my siblings, my spouse, my children and my friends, I have now started loving myself.

I have realized that I am not “Atlas”. The world does not rest on my shoulders.

I have stopped bargaining with vegetable & fruit vendors. A few pennies more is not going to break me, but it might help the poor fellow save for his daughter’s school fees.

I leave my waitress a big tip. The extra money might bring a smile to her face. She is toiling much harder for a living than I am.

I stopped telling the elderly that they’ve already narrated that story many times. The story makes them walk down memory lane & relive their past.

I have learned not to correct people even when I know they are wrong. The onus of making everyone perfect is not on me. Peace is more precious than perfection.

I give compliments freely & generously. Compliments are a mood enhancer not only for the recipient, but also for me. And a small tip for the recipient of a compliment, never, NEVER turn it down, just say “Thank You.”

I have learned not to bother about a crease or a spot on my shirt. Personality speaks louder than appearances.

I walk away from people who don’t value me. They might not know my worth, but I do.

I remain cool when someone plays dirty to outrun me in the rat race. I am not a rat & neither am I in any race.

I am learning not to be embarrassed by my emotions. It’s my emotions that make me human.

I have learned that it’s better to drop the ego than to break a relationship. My ego will keep me aloof, whereas with relationships, I will never be alone.

I have learned to live each day as if it’s the last. After all, it might be the last.

I am doing what makes me happy. I am responsible for my happiness, and I owe it to myself. Happiness is a choice. You can be happy at any time, just choose to be!

It is the Presence Of

The energy of the flesh can run bazaars, organize amusements, and raise millions; but it is the presence of the Holy Spirit that makes a Temple of the Living God. Samuel Chadwick

Are Our Schools Anti Christ?

Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it. Proverbs 22:6 New International Version

Could our schools be preparing a generation for the anti Christ?

Don’t they teach that there are no absolute rights or wrongs?

Is this not against Gods instructions?
Don’t they allow every type of worship except Christians?

How many schools teach that Christmas is because of Jesus’ birth?

You can have Santa Claus in class but not the nativity scene.

Is the “No one left behind” scam not preparing today’s generation to be idiots that do not learn to think?

After all why should they try if they know they cannot fail their class?

Do they not teach that there are no winners or losers, everybody gets a prize?

Does that not set them up to believe they are entitled even though they did not work for it?

Have you talked with anyone that has recently graduated from university or high school lately?

If they grow up believing they are entitled and do not believe in absolute rights or wrongs, if they do not learn to think, is that not making it easy for the anti Christ to smooth talk them into believing his lies?

Is it not our duty to teach the children the truth even though it is not politically correct?

How many people must have laughed at Noah’s children and tried to talk Noah out of this nonsense of wasting his time building a boat because of a little rain? Look what happened to them?

This time around the stakes are even higher aren’t they?

We do not need a degree to teach we need the Holy Spirits guidance to be effective teachers. Joseph- Anthony a son of Jehovah

Prayer: Holy Spirit Rabbi (Holy Spirit our teacher) please give me the strength and wisdom to teach all Your Holy and Righteous ways. I ask in the name of the greatest teacher Jesus Christ. Amen.

If There is No

If there is no repentance, there is no forgiveness.

Jesus did not tell the woman caught in adultery to keep on going out on one night stands but rather to go out and sin no more.

When someone sins against us we are to forgive them but if they refuse to repent we are to avoid them because they are not sorry for what they did, and they will continue to do it.

Not only that, but the abuse will just get worse.

If we must be in a relationship with them like at work, the relationship shall be formal. Do not talk with them unless you have to and make your answers just yes or no. Joseph- Anthony a son of Jehovah

Use the correct GPS

There was a woman in Europe that set out on a ninety mile trip to pick up a friend at a train station. She set her GPS for directions to the train station. Three days later and many countries later she stopped a figured out she was lost. When asked why it took so long to figure out she was lost her reply was she was not paying attention. She was paying more attention to the scenery than listening to the GPS.

How about us?

Do we look around and see all the fun the “In crowd” is having and take their advice to join them in their drinking and partying and where do we end up?

With hangovers, empty pockets and in bed with someone we don’t even know.

Could that not lead us to addictions and diseases?

Could that not destroy our lives?

There is a way that appears to be right, but in the end it leads to death. Proverbs 14:12. New International Version

Where as, if we listen and follow to the advice in the Bible we will avoid these problems.

Oh sure we will look like geeks to the in crowd, but in the long run we have a loving relationship with Christ which far out shines anything the in crowd can offer. It may seem crazy to your friends and family but it will be smiled upon by our Heavenly loving wise Father.

The Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things John 14:26 New International Version

Thank you Poppa for blessing me with The Holy Spirit to be my Guidance Councillor. He is the best. Joseph- Anthony a son of Jehovah

Prayer: Thank you Jesus Pryyand (Jesus my friend) for blessing us with the best instruction manual there ever was, is or will be. Please open my eyes to the wisdom to understand and follow its instructions for a rich and fulfilling life. I humbly give thanks for this blessing and ask for this blessing in Your wise name. Amen.

Is Not Merely

Prayer is not merely prattle; it is warfare. Alan Redpath

He is Our Refuge City.

Select some towns to be your cities of refuge, to which a person who has killed someone accidentally may flee. They will be places of refuge from the avenger, so that anyone accused of murder may not die before they stand trial before the assembly. Numbers 35-11, 12 New International Version

Just as in the Old Testament times someone who accidently killed someone could and would take sanctuary in a city of refuge.

So too do we have a city of refuge in Christ.

He will protect us from the dangers of the devil and his demons who want to kill our spirit. When they attack us we take refuge in the protection of Christ’s loving strong arms. Oh they may hurt or destroy our body but our spirit will be protected by Jesus.

It is equally important to remain in Jesus’ city because if we do not then we are fair game for the evil ones.

Don’t you think that is why there are so many addicts and murders today?

Because they are not in Christ’s city, they are open to demonic forces that not only destroy them but also many innocent others.

Take shelter in Jehovahs strong arms. It is the safest place to be. Joseph- Anthony a son of Jehovah

Prayer: Thank you Jesus Shammah (God is present) for being the strong undefeatable city we can take sanctuary in to protect us from satan and his minions. Please give me the wisdom and strength to always remain in Your impenetrable fortress. I give thanks and request this in Your strong and mighty name. Amen.

Stands Forever Against The

“But God’s justice stands forever against the sinner in utter severity.

The vague and tenuous hope that God is too kind to punish the ungodly has become a deadly opiate for the consciences of millions. It hushes their fears and allows them to practice all pleasant forms of iniquity while death draws every day nearer and the command to repent goes unregarded.

As responsible moral beings we dare not so trifle with our eternal future.” A. W. Tozer, The Knowledge of the Holy

How to Get a Fantastic Education.

Know also that wisdom is like honey for you: If you find it, there is a future hope for you, and your hope will not be cut off. Proverbs 24:14 New International Version

It is very common in Asia for mothers to beat (yes physically beat look up tiger mothers) their children and constantly nag them to get a good education (so the children can get a good job, so the children can support their mamma so she can live luxuriously, sounds kind of greedy to me) from the time they are very young (it is common for mothers and grandmothers to want English teachers to teach their children university English when they are young as four years old).

It is constantly drilled into them to get the best education so they can get the highest paid job.

When the children graduate most of them cannot find work.

Either that or they do find work and work like slaves.

The children are then very angry and bitter. Many think “Is this what I spent twenty years of my life for? I was robbed of a nice childhood. I had no time to play or make friends.”

What happens if you can’t get a job or get laid off because of down sizing?

Do you know the difference between knowledge and wisdom?

Knowledge is knowing something; wisdom is putting knowledge to work.

For example : You may go to school to learn how to cook, but if you do not put that knowledge into practice and instead of cooking healthy delicious meals you cook macaroni and beans what good is your knowledge?

Honey not only tastes good it is also very healthy for you and makes you strong. When you have the best wisdom you gain the promise of the best future. Let wisdom be like honey to your mind. Joseph- Anthony: Green

Where may you find this knowledge?

In your Bible of course.

There you will find how to have a relationship with God, how to have proper relationships, how to handle money and of course, how to know your calling in Gods family (once we are saved. God gives each of us a specific duty to do in His family). This of course leads to the ultimate future: a future in Heaven with our beloved Jesus.

The Holy Bible is the answer Bible to all of our problems. We are wise to listen and obey its instructions. Joseph- Anthony a son of Jehovah

Prayer: Thank you Holy Spirit Rabbi (Holy Spirit our Teacher) for the blessing of giving me wisdom found in Your sacred word, the Bible. I give joyous thanks in the name of the greatest teacher Jesus Christ. Amen.
