You Accomplish Much More In

“It is easier to ridicule than commend but you accomplish much more in giving encouragement than condemnation..” Joseph- Anthony a son of Jehovah

Which can Have

There are simple things we can do for others through out the day which can have great affect on them. Joseph- Anthony: Green

But We Must.

Give the gifts that are right and good, and trust in the Lord. Psalms 4: 5 The Holy Bible The New Life Version

We need to depend upon The Holy Spirit to guide us to give the proper gifts to the proper men and women.

We need to offer the needy jobs not free lunches and give them money to blow on booze and drugs ( I see it a lot ).

Teach them to be contributing members of society not leeches.

Teach them to have self respect.

It is hard to do and we need to depend upon the Lord to provide the resources to accomplish this as well as the wisdom, strength and patience.

Believe me though it is well worth the effort to see somebody straighten their lives around. The change is incredible.

We need to give but we must give wisely. Joseph- Anthony a son of Jehovah

Prayer: Oh please my loving Jehovah Jireth (Genesis 22:14 The LORD Shall Provide ) please always send The Holy Spirit to guide me on where best to invest my resources to help those in need and by extension guide them unto You. Please protect me from wasting these precious resources on those who do not appreciate them nor are willing to help themselves. I humbly request this in the name of He who only took time to help the needy that respected Him and His gifts of healing, Jesus Christ . Amen

To Share These Gifts With

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.  Joseph a son of Jehovah

We are Channels made For

Give, and you will receive. Your gift will return to you in full—pressed down, shaken together to make room for more, running over, and poured into your lap. The amount you give will determine the amount you get back.” Luke 6:38 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation

I like Jehovahs investment plans. They are not like societies investment plans of gimme, gimme, gimme.

So many today foolishly believe that they are entitled and that we owe them because of their sexuality, colour, religion or sexual preference.

Then, there are the financial institutions that are quick to accept your money but good luck on getting it out, read service charges out of your ying yang which to me is legal thievery.

And, of course , there is the biggest bandits of all, the government. How many times do we pay for services and get substandard service in return, read we have a legal system not a justice system, look at our schools,. Then there is the fun of collecting unemployment insurance when you are laid off or compensation when you are hurt at work.

With Jehovah you get what you give.

No freeloaders allowed. If you give nothing, you receive nothing. If you give a little, you receive a little. If you give generously, you shall receive generously.

“God has given us two hands: one to receive with and the other to give with. We are not cisterns made for hoarding; we are channels made for giving.” Billy Graham

Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Jireh ( God provides Philippians 4:19 ) for Your abundant graces You bless me with through out the day. Please bless me with the opportunities to share them where You guide me to with as much joy to share them as it is to receive them. I exalt You and beseech You in the name of Your greatest blessing in my life, Jesus Christ. Amen.

May you be blessed with twice as many opportunities to share as you have to receive this day and every day. Joseph a son of Jehovah

Bless Me to Enable Me To

“But to you who are willing to listen, I say, love your enemies! Do good to those who hate you. Bless those who curse you. Pray for those who hurt you. Luke 6:27-28 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation

Are you willing to?

It is our natural inclination to close our ears to words we do not wish to listen to.

Are you willing to suppress that and listen to The Holy Spirits voice as He convicts you?

It is our natural inclination to hate our enemies and make them suffer as much as we can.

Are you willing to love them?

That is not the mushy nonsense you see in movies or on TV.

It is an effort that can only be accomplished by surrendering to the power of The Holy Spirit. It does not mean that you condone nor tolerate abusive behaviour. If you love them you will help them to understand why they are abusive ( many times it is because of abuse they have suffered and have not been healed of ) and help them get counselling. If you love them you will not empower them by allowing this behaviour to continue but will allow them to suffer the consequences of their actions.

Purge yourself of toxic folks less their poison kills your love and you are rewarded with nothing but misery in return. Joseph a son of Jehovah

Are you willing to pray for Jehovah to open your eyes to the problem and to the solution ( including the fact that the problem may not be them but may be you ).

When others hate us it is natural to hate them back.

Are you willing to love your enemies by understanding why they hate you and seek reconciliation in the relationship. If they refuse are you willing to love them enough to behave in a respectful manner towards them. Are you willing to pray for Jehovah to open your eyes to the problem and to the solution ( including the fact that the problem may not be them but may be you ).

“The Bible tells us to love our neighbours, and also to love our enemies; probably because they are generally the same people.” — G. K. Chesterton Prayer:

Please Jehovah ELOHIM YAKOL (God, the Most Able 2 Corinthians 9:8 ) bless me to enable me to conduct myself towards difficult folks in the noble manner in which Your gracious son Jesus Christ did. I wish not just for peace in this relationship but to use this situation to glorify You and to bring the little lost sheep into Your Heavenly fold. Please bless me with the strength and healing of ostracizing myself from toxic folks until they accept that their behaviour is not loving nor acceptable.

It is in the name of He who exemplified Christian behaviour towards others, Jesus Christ, that I humbly beseech You. Amen

May you always be receptive to and obedient to The Holy Spirits guidance in all of your relationships. Joseph a son of Jehovah

The gentleness of a

This High Priest of ours understands our weaknesses, for he faced all of the same testings we do, yet he did not sin. So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most. Hebrews 4:15-16 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation

Prayer: Thank you kindly Jehovah Chatsahi (The Lord is my Strength Psalm 27:1 ) for walking amongst us so You understand the trials and temptations, the tribulations and sorrows we experience in our daily life.

As such, when I come to You seeking help You bless ME with: strength where I am weak and the opportunity to use this strength to help others. The mercy to forgive me when I succumb to my weakness and repent of them.

May I extend that to those who repent when they have wronged me. The gentleness of a loving friend to teach others how to be members of Jehovahs holy family when they are uneducated in the proper etiquette befitting such a noble family.

May I guide others to behave in such a regal manner.

I humbly implore You to grant this petition this in Your gracious name. Amen.

May you be blessed with copious amounts of tutoring at the Masters feet to enable you to be a grand example of a noble family and plenty of opportunities to use them.

Not Just To

  Hot tempered people must pay the penalty.  If you rescue them once, you will have to do it again. Proverbs 19:19 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation          

This applies not just to hot tempered folks but also to those with addictions whether that be substance abuse or whether it be lack of maturity in handling money.                      

If you keep on bailing them out, they will never take responsibly for their action and thus never mature.  You are doing them more harm than good.

Sad to say but it is true that mothers and grandmothers are the worst offenders of this.  

Prayer Please Jehovah Jireth ( Genesis 22:14 – The LORD Shall Provide ) bless me to have faith in Your provisions in my loved ones lives. You will do so in a manner in which they must become more mature children in Your family which will cause my heart to dance with joy.

I humbly ask this in the name of He who provided salvation to those who were willing to accept Him not just as their savior but as their king Jesus Christ. Amen  

May you be blessed with discernment to when to help and when the best help is to step back and allow those to reap the rewards of reckless living. Joseph a son of Jehovah

Please Jehovah El ohay Selichot

“But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.” Romans 5:8  The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation

Prayer: Please Jehovah El ohay Selichot ( The God Of Forgiveness 1 John 1:9 ) bless me to forgive those who have offended me just as You have forgiven me. Some of the cuts are deep and can only be healed by Your loving balm. Even if they refuse to repent please bless me with Thy Divine love and strength to forgive them for I know it is for my own good.

I humbly request this in the name of He who forgave the Roman soldiers for what they did to Him, Jesus Christ. Amen

Holding grudges only smothers the flames of love and is bad for the body mind and spirit. Joseph a son of Jehovah

May you be blessed with Jehovahs healing balm and strength to forgive as you have been forgiven. Joseph a son of Jehovah

Please Jesus Rapha

Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love, according to your great compassion, blot out my transgressions. (Psalm 51:1 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation

Prayer: Please Jesus Rapha (God my healer Jeremiah 33:6), pour out your mercy upon my loved ones. Although I know pain, suffering, and illness are not punishment but a part of human existence, I humbly ask You to relieve them from worry and despair.

Please help those I love and care for to know You are a merciful God. You are not a god of condemnation but the God of grace, mercy and healing.

Please have mercy and touch my loved ones with Your gentle yet strong healing touch.

Please my Best Friend deliver my loved ones from sickness. It is in Thy Healing name I sincerely request this favour. Amen

“LORD, calm my anxious heart and the urgent demand for quick results. Help me to wait on you, trusting that your timing is perfect.” unknown
