To Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God. Matthew 4:4 The Holy Bible The New Living Translation
This is why it is so important to read the Bible every day and to seek its meaning thus living by what the Holy Spirit teaches us.
First we may be going astray without even knowing it. A Bible Verse may open our eyes to our slowly, unwittingly drifting away from Christ and towards destruction.
’”Just as at sea those who are carried away from the direction of the harbor bring themselves back on course by a clear sign, so Scripture may guide those adrift on the sea of life back into the harbor of the divine will.” — St. Gregory of Nyssa
Second, memorizing Bible Verses and their meaning helps us guide others back on course when we see them going astray. We respectfully talk with them about it. By Gods grace we shall guide them back to the path that leads to Heavens Gate.
Prayer:Thank you Jehovah El Emeth (Psalms 31:5 LORD GOD of Truth) for blessing me with the ultimate book of knowledge (The Holy Bible) to guide me along the path to Heaven You have chosen for me to travel. I pray that they are branded into my being so as to draw them like a razor sharp sword to defeat the enemy (Satan and his minions) when they attack me. I exalt You in the name of the greatest swordsman of all Jesus Christ. Amen
May the gentle assurance of Jesus’ sweet love encompass you today and every day. Joseph a son of Jehovah
For the place where you are standing is holy ground.” Exodus 3:5 The Holy Bible, The New Living Testament Version
What made the place Moses was standing on holy ground It was not the place but who was in the place. And, the who that was in the place was Jehovah.
Have you ever stood on holy ground?
If you are a Christian you have. Every time you are with our Heavenly Beloved, you are on holy ground. It does not matter if it is your bedroom or your bathroom or in nature or on the bus or in your car. Where ever you are with Jehovah is holy ground.
Now when the conversation is over, the ground is no longer holy because our Heavenly Beloved is no longer there.
My favorite place to stand is upon the Holy ground with my most Beloved. Joseph a son of Jehovah
So when any cult tells you any place is holy ground do not believe them.
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Abba (Jehovah our Beloved Father in Heaven) for blessing this child of Yours with the honour of standing on holy ground every time we commune together no matter where we are. I exalt You in the name of my holies big brother Jesus Christ. Amen
Christ blesses us with love, peace and joy. May you be blessed with many opportunities to share these with others today. Joseph a son of Jehovah
He saw that they were in serious trouble, rowing hard and struggling against the wind and waves. About three o’clock in the morningJesus came toward them, walking on the water. He intended to go past them,but when they saw him walking on the water, they cried out in terror, thinking he was a ghost.They were all terrified when they saw him. But Jesus spoke to them at once. “Don’t be afraid,” he said. “Take courage! I am here!” Then he climbed into the boat, and the wind stopped. Mark 6:45-52 The Holy Bible, The New Living Testament Version
Do you notice Jesus was walking on the very water that was going to sink His Disciples?
He has dominion and power over everything, including your problems, worries and heartaches.
Did you notice when Jesus entered the boat the waves subsided.
So too will your worries, and heartache subside when Jesus enters into your situation. You must call upon Him in faith ( which means trust) that He will help you. Not only that, but, you must be obedientunto the adviceHe gives you in order to conquer the problem, worry or heartache.
Jesus is the best rescuer in the universe and beyond. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Yasha (Lord my Savior) Isaiah 49:26 that whenever I am obedient unto Your wise advice, You rescue me from all trouble, sorrows and snares. I praise You in the name of He whose blood rescued me from eternal damnation Jesus Christ. Amen May you be blessed with peace and joy every day.Joseph a son of Jehovah
The Lord also keeps safe those who suffer. He is a safe place in times of trouble. Those who know Your name will put their trust in You. For You, O Lord, have never left alone those who look for You. Psalm 9:9-10 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation
There is always good that goes with bad.
Look at the virus that is snaking around the world right now. Yes it is causing a lot of sickness and death. But, it is also contributing to a lot of good.
Look at how many families are spending time together like they did forty years ago.
Look at how folks are looking out for each other in their communities.
Look at how folks are coming together in creative ways in their church to keep together.
Look at how many folks are having time to read their Bibles, for some, maybe the first time in their life.
Look at how many folks are taking walks on nature trails which is good for their mental, physical and spiritual health.
And, most important of all is look at how many folks are spending quality time with Jehovah, perhaps for the first time in their lives.
It is in the difficult times we come the closest to Jesus. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Immeka (Judges 6:12 The LORD Is with You ) for walking with me through these difficult times. May you use me to encourage others and help others under Your guidence as You have helped and encouraged me. I apologize that it took at catastrophe like this for me to come and spend time with You. I thank you in the name of He who always fulfills His promise to never leave me nor desert me, Jesus Christ. Amen
The gift of love, the gift of joy, the gift of peace, these are the greatest gifts that can be given. They are given in abundance to all those in Christs family by our Heavenly loving Father. May you be blessed with plentiful opportunities to share these with those around you today. Joseph a son of Jehovah

The Lord God placed the man in the Garden of Eden to tend and watch over it. Genesis 2:15 Holy Bible, New Living Translation
Now, even though we are not in the Garden of Eden we are still stewards of Jehovahs creation.
One day early this spring while riding my bicycle down a country road the Lord guided my attention to how filthy the side of the road was and reminded me that as a Christian I am a caretaker of Jehovahs creation. He inspired me to go midweek with some garbage bags and start to clean up all the rubbish on the side of the road. It was incredible the amount that was collected in a short distance. I made a commitment to return one day a week and continue down the road until it was all cleaned up.
“You must not defile the land where you live, for I live there myself. I am the Lord, who lives among the people of Israel.” Numbers 35:34 Holy Bible, New Living Translation
After about a month, it rained out on the scheduled clean up day. A couple of days later when riding down the road to get some supplies for our garden the Lord directed my attention to the side of the road. It was spotless. That means someone or group noticed the work done, how it looked good and how bad the uncleaned part looked. They took the initiative and cleaned it up.
Many times we can lead by example in life with out even realizing it. Joseph a son of Jehovah
You yourself must be an example to them by doing good works of every kind. Titus 2:7 Holy Bible, New Living Translation
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Bore (Isaiah 40:28) The LORD Creator for blessing me with helpers to restore some of Your creation to the beauty You created to be. I exalt You in the name of He who will restore all of creation to its original beauty upon His victorious return Jesus Christ. Amen
May Gods sunshine always bless you with brightening your day with His love, joy and peace. Joseph a son of Jehovah
“How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!” 1 John 3:1.The Holy Bible, The New International Version
Did I get you?
Do you think I said “I am THE son of God?
No I am not THE son of God, but rather A son of God.
When I accepted Jesus Christ as my savior and agree to live according to Gods divine rules for membership in this Holy Family (Gods Law) I became a full fledged member of a divine family.
“‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’” Luke 10:27 The Holy Bible, The New International Version
When you are willing to do this, you are granted entrance into the best family. A loving Father who will always take care of you. A fantastic big brother who gave His all for you and the best Guidance Councillor, The Holy Spirit. When you join this family you are never alone, you are always loved.
What more could you ask for?
So here is the secret entrance key: “Jesus, I know I am a sinner and have messed up. I need Your love and guidance in my life. I know You died for me because You believe I am so special. Thank you. I accept You as my king, as my savior and as my best friend. I ask You to come into my life and teach me to be a good child of God. In Your loving name I pray. Amen.”
Did you do it?
Good for you.
Congratulations, now you are a royal member of the most special family. Now if you want a deeper relationship with the big three, and who doesn’t (The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit) may I suggest you listen to radio stations like Praise 1065,Joyfm, go to crosswalk.com and once you join for free, click on audio and listen to the music. Go to Oneplace.com, listen to the wonderful sermons there (I like going to seromonaudio.com and listening to Alistair Begg, Charles Spurgon Vance Havener and A.W. Tozer ), subscribe to newsletters like Our Daily Bread, Daily for a few. Why not go to Praize and join a pen pal club?
When you listen to and read these every day and incorporate them into your life, your life will change for the better.
No I don’t promise it, Jesus does and He NEVER breaks His promises.
When you become a Christian, you become royalty. This means you also have royal duties unto the King of Kings. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Abba (our loving Father in Heaven) for blessing me with adopting me into Your loving royal family. Thank you Jesus for Your supreme sacrifice that made it all possible. May I be blessed with opportunities to bring more into this most amazing family. I exalt You both and sincerely request this in the name of my big brother with whom I adore 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
Then he took the children in his arms and placed his hands on their heads and blessed them. Mark 10:16 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation
Jesus took time out of His busy day to show love to children, should we not imitate Him every day?
How much quality time do you spend with your children?
At meal time (irregardless of whether it is breakfast or dinner) do you sit around the table and talk, cementing your bonds, or do you all sit there with you mugs pasted in front of the idiot box (TV)?
Do you help them with their homework, class projects or go to parent teacher meeting with them?
Do you tuck them into bed and read them bedtime stories them kiss them good night and tell them you love them (that was my personal favorite)?
On the weekend do you do things with them like go to the park or watch a family movie and then talk about it?
You are the potter, they are the mold, what type of vessel are you creating?
Children learn more by watching then listening. What do they see when they see you?
Children learn more by watching then listening. Joseph- Anthony: Green
The same goes for teachers.
At the beginning of each semester I would tell my classes: “I am your teacher. I will work hard for you to be the best teacher for you. You will work hard for me because you love me.” Then I proceeded to prove it. At first they thought I was nuts. After about a month, they were my babies and they knew it. They loved their teacher because they saw their teacher loved them (Kinda like Jesus taught me. We love Him because He loved us first.). I believe what I taught them about love will stay with them all of their lives.
“Children will not remember you for the material things you have provided, but for the feeling that you cherished them.” –Richard L. Evans
Children are Gods gift to you, nurture them properly like you would a garden for you are sowing the seeds of the future. Joseph- Anthony: Green
The same goes for those who are new children in the family of Jehovah. You are to love them as if they were your own children and dedicate yourself to their well being and maturity in Christ as you would your own children.
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Emet (God of truth) for blessing me with all the marvelous teachers You have sent my way. Thank you for guiding me to emulate the greatest Teacher, Jesus. May I inspire all those You bring to me to become loving obedient children of Yours so as to enrich Your treasure in Heaven (to be surrounded by even more loving children of Yours). I meekly ask of this in the name of the greatest Teacher Jesus Christ. Amen
May Gods sunshine always bless you with brightening your day with His love, joy and peace. Joseph a son of Jehovah
