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 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation
Prayer: Oh Jehovah Shalom (The Lord blesses with Peace Isaiah 9:6, Rom 8:31-35 ) I thank you so much that I can always come to you with whatever is upsetting me. Every time You calm me down with Your gentle loving Divine peace and then softly speak to me and help relieve the stress I am experiencing.
Then You wisely explain the answer to all my questions and stressful situations. I am grateful that You have taught me to always come to You before I take any action.
I praise You in the name of the Prince of Peace Jesus Christ. Amen
Those who pray first, wait for the Lords answer and then be obedient unto His instruction have a lot less stress in their lives. Joseph a son of Jehovah

May the LORD, calm your anxious heart and the urgent demand for quick results. May He help you to wait on Him, trusting that His timing is perfect.” Joseph a son of Jehovah
We must remember what the Lord Jesus said, ‘We are more happy when we give than when we receive.’ ” Acts 20:35 The Holy Bible The New Life Version
Speaking personally, I feel uncomfortable when folks give me things.
On the flip side, I love to give to those who are needy and worthy. I know it gives glory to Christ and brings great joy to the receivers and sometimes brings them into Jehovahs Holy family.
Then, there is the ripple effect.
I have found it is one in ten. One man or woman out of ten that is helped it effects them to the point where they now have a giving heart as well. It is small for sure but over a lifetime those small ripples add up to tsunamis waves of giving.
The difference is that earths tsunamis bring destruction, tsunamis of love bring great love, joy and relief.
“Remember there’s no such thing as a small act of kindness. Every act creates a ripple with no logical end.” — Scott Adams
Now, I have said it numerous times before and it will be said again.
Giving to those who need is different from those who are leeches.
Giving to those in need is giving to someone who through no fault of their own is experiencing difficulties. These folks appreciate the help while trying to help themselves.
The leeches are the lazy, ungrateful ones that demand more, more, more while giving nothing in return.
Give, but give wisely. Joseph a son of Jehovah
This brings us to another important aspect of giving.
We are not to randomly give (although there is nothing wrong with that, like helping a handicapped man or woman with their groceries to their vehicle or giving up your seat on the bus) our fiances or time.
We are to take it to Jehovah in prayer. He will send the Holy Spirit to guide us where the resources will be used effectively.
If you want the Masters help you must be willing to obey His direction in your life. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Using this method has brought me to places I would never have gone and done things I would never have done. But the results were incredible beyond my imagination.
Doing these things adds jewels to your crown which Christ will place upon your head when you are in Heavens home.
Another pay off is when you are in desperate time Jehovah gives pay back seven times more than you gave.
Prayer: Thank you Jesus Ha Melech Psalms 98:6 The LORD the King) for blessing me with the most incredible adventure in life that was beyond the wildest imagination. Thank you that we have accomplished so much in this life You have blessed me with. In You fantastic name I praise You. 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

Make allowance for each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others. Colossians 3:13 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation
Father I deeply desire to forgive other as You forgive me.
Help me to forgive those in my care when they are selfish, ungrateful and abusive towards me. I need this to prevent me from having my heart filled with hatred and bitterness. If the heart is filled with this then it is impossible to care in a loving manner.
Help me to stay focused on the fact that in serving them, I am serving You and You are always appreciative of my compassionate efforts.
But, Father just as You specify that repentance must come before forgiveness so too must there be repentance before the healing is possible.
Please send the Holy Spirit to convict them and bring them unto repentance less their attitude condemn the to Hell.
Thank you that You are always there for me to cry out my anguish to when those in my care are selfish, abusive and ungrateful. I humbly request this in the name of He who forgave the repentant sinner on the cross beside Him, Jesus Christ. Amen
Those who refuse to repent are also those who will continue the abuse. Joseph a son of Jehovah

You gave them charge of everything you made, putting all things under their authority the flocks and the herds and all the wild animals, the birds in the sky, the fish in the sea, and everything that swims the ocean currents. Psalm 8:6-8 The Holy Bible, New Living Testament personal hygiene
Recently we are constantly being bombarded on TV news with segments about these so called “climate activists” concerned about the rising temperatures.
Okay, if you are so concerned about climate change here is my climate recipe: Instead of using soap to wash yourselves with why not use a body brush. In my opinion (and I have successfully being using them for decades now) it does a better job than soap. Talking about showers or baths , how about you only have one bath every other day. I do and there is no body odor to me. personal routine
Instead of using commercial underarm deodorant (which is harmful to your body in my opinion) why not use earth crystals which can be purchased at a health food store (yes, they are expensive but they also last for years compared to how long the commercial ones last).
Instead of using dish washing detergent why not use salt? Again, I have been doing this for years and the iodine in the salt kills the germs. While we are at it, instead of using a dishwasher why not try the old hand washing? I have never gotten sick from it.
Instead of using laundry detergent why not use baking soda? Again, I have been doing these things for decades now with no adverse effects. Instead of using the dryer why not hang up your clothes to dry? Please no immature cry babies complaining because they see their neighbors underwear. We did it for decades with no adverse affect on others so stop being so self righteous and grow up.
Instead of using fast food restaurant cutlery (throw away drinking cup and wrappers why not take in reusable containers? It is reusable so nothing is going in a landfill.
In the nice weather , if you live in a town, why not bicycle or walk to and from work? This is also a great way to relieve stress. Instead of clogging up the highways driving to and from work why not take the bus or train?
Instead of buying clothing made of polyester why not buy clothes made from wool and or cotton?
Why not grow a raised garden in your backyard or on your balcony? Why not have two rain barrels at each rain spout on your house? These will not only catch the rain and help prevent flooding but can also be used to water your garden and lawn which puts less stress on the town water supply and purification stations? Instead of using pesticides why not use organic pesticides like garlic and marigold? I do it and it works great for all kinds of pests and you get to eat fresh grown organic.
These are but a few tips to help keep our planet (and it is a planet not “mother earth, which is a cultist stupid word for our planet. It is giving a fictitious female a deity of worshiping her instead of the Creator of the earth which is satnic).
I bet most of you will not do these.
You know why?
Because, you are too lazy and do not want to make the commitment.
So instead of being self righteous and using climate change as an excuse to pump of your own over inflated ego why not get off your butts and put your money where your mouth is or shut up.
We are care takers of this planet not owners. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Bara (The Lord Creator) Isaiah 40:28 (not “mother earth) for blessing me with the wisdom on how to make a personal commitment to caring for the paradise you have created for us (planet earth) which we are selfishly destroying. Please help others take up the same banner to help heal this planet which we were given to be care takers of. I humbly request this in the name of He who will reign on this planet after it has been healed Jesus Christ. Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the old heaven and the old earth had disappeared Revelation 21:1Holy Bible, New Living Testament 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.Joseph a son of Jehovah
For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. Galatians 3:27
When we become baptized the Holy Spirit comes and lives within us.
Now to clothe ourselves with Christ is to emulate Him. That means we are to behave in a Christ like manner.
You see kids today tattooing themselves, swearing and being rebellious because they are emulating the filthy anti Christ’s in rap music. That is destructive and stupid, both for society and for themselves.
We Christians however are to be more like Christ in our behaviour and attitudes. Do you look down on somebody because they are a different colour, nationality or because they are poor? Jesus reached out to the Samaritan woman, the poor blind beggar and a hated Roman Centurion.
Are you impatient with someone who is not the brightest light bulb in the chandelier? Jesus was patient with His disciples for three years. Are you impatient with someone who is slow in the check out? It took God forty years of patience before the Israelites were ready to cross the Jordon River.
Are you too stingy to help the needy? Jesus suffered enormously on the cross to pay the cost for you to gain entry into a loving relationship with Jehovah.
If you are a Christian, prove it by your daily living. Like the old saying goes:Put up or shut up. You do not deserve the privilege of the name of Christian if you are not living the Christian lifestyle.
Although we look forward to going to Heaven to be with Jesus when we die, we should work hard to bring as many with us as we can. Joseph- Anthony: Green
Prayer: Please Jesus Immanuel (God amongst us) mold daily me to emultate You in all my thoughts, words and deeds. I humbly ask this in Your gracious name. Amen.
May the sunshine of Jesus’ sweet love bless you today and every day.
He shall remove all the fat from the bull of the sin offering all the fat that is connected to the internal organs, both kidneys with the fat on them near the loins, and the long lobe of the liver, which he will remove with the kidneysjust as the fat is removed from the ox sacrificed as a fellowship offering. Leviticus 4: 8-10
Is it not interesting that the priests use the kidneys and liver as a sin offering?
The kidneys and liver are what removes the toxins from the body.
So could this represent that when we repent from our sins we are spiritually cleansed?
As the fire consumes the liver and kidneys so too does repentance consume our guilt and just as the one was pleasing to Jehovah in the Old Testament how much more do you think it is pleasing in our daily lives?
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Ropheka (God our healer) that through Your beautiful son Jesus You have provided a means to heal us of our sins.
I joyously gratefully praise both You and Him for this wonderful gift in His amazing name. Amen.
May the sunshine of Jesus’ sweet love bless you today and every day.
People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people. 2 Timothy 3:2-5 New King James Version
One day in the supermarket line up the headline in a national magazine caught my eyes. It read:” Hurry Up and Die.”
The jist of the article is that many people that went through the great depression of the nineteen thirties scrunched and saved their money.
Their foolish materialistic children have gone in debt way over their heads. The children are not concerned because they believe the money they will get from their parents inheritance will pay their debts.
A consequence of this is many of the elderly are abuse by their children and grand children. They cheat their parents out of money, throw them into a seniors home and only come around when they want money. I have seen and witnessed this pathetic scenario too many times.
As I was reading the article 2 Timothy 3:2-5 flashed into my mind and pretty much every word there describes these low life’s I have met.
Now mind you, there are a lot of abusive parents that are unrepentant towards their now adult children so I believe they are getting their just due (although that does not excuse the children any more than the Pharisees were excused for nailing Christ to the cross).
Prayer: Please Jehovah KalEl (voice of God) whisper in the ears of the ingrates that the commandment after loving you is loving our parents. Abusing parents is hideous to You. As well my Beloved whisper in the ear of the parents whose children lovingly respectfully care for them to not be so difficult towards them but to be appreciative of them. I humbly ask this in the name of Your most loving and respectful son Jesus Christ. Amen.
May the sunshine of Jesus’ sweet love bless you today and every day
I have been young, and now am old; yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken. Psalm37:25 New King James Version
To be a servant of Jesus means we give up a lot of the worlds luxuries and most times just survive, all be it comfortably but frugally.
This is good because we learn to depend upon Jehovah for our daily needs. Because He generously supplies them we grow deeper and deeper in love with Him and develop a deeper respect for Him.
As we age and are no longer able to serve Him as we did when young we have no government pension to fall back on and most times no savings in the bank.
Through His love and grace Jehovah always supplies for us in our old age just as He did in our younger days.
Three times I worked hard, lived frugally and saved.
Three times I was wiped out. Since living for Christ, He has always supplied my every need (not necessarily my every want but definitely my every need).
Now I am getting old and my chance of getting a good work contract is nil.
In fear of my future I prayed to Him about my future with no money and no job.
Each time I did, there was a dream where I was led into an apartment. It was comfortable and spacious but the one thing there always hit me was the cupboards were always full and the lady that led there would look at me and smile and say:” This is yours.” She said it like I was not renting or purchasing the place but rather that is was given for me to live in all the rest of my days. Then I would wake up.
That day while doing Bible reading a verse like the one in this article would jump out at me.
I like Jehovahs retirement plan.
“Live to please God, and He will breathe on thee His peace. Seek His glory, and He will make thy heart His home. Do His will, and thereby good shall come to thee.” F. B. Meyer
Prayer: Thank You Jehovah Jireh (God our provider) for always providing for Your child in his service to his loving King. Thank you for promising and keeping Your promise to always take care of Your children whom You cherish so deeply. I give thanks for this blessing in the name of He who taught about the birds in the sky Jesus Christ. Amen.
May the sunshine of Jesus’ sweet love bless you today and every day
And the Lord God said, “It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him.” Genesis 2:18 New King James Version
I have had many people inform me that being single is a sin. It says in the Bible that man was made to be married quoting from the Book of Genesis.
What it really says it that it is not good for man to be alone. Do not forget that Adam was the only human at that time. So, naturally, as animals had their own species to gather with so too did man require another human. That is why you see that God made a helper comparable to him.
If you are in service to Jehovah many times it is a disadvantage to be married.
In my service to the Lord He has taken me all over the world. If you have a family it is best to stay in one place. If you are married you will be concerned about the welfare of your family which will take you away from total service to the Lord. Many times in my service to the Lord I was sleeping in a tent. That is not a good place to try to raise a family.
I believe that everyone inherently desires to have a spouse, a family and a home. For some of that is not possible in our service to the Lord. Yes it hurts when we see married couple and those with families. Yes we desire to have that but that is not what Jehovah has planned for us. Yes we face a lot of nagging from our families (my family nagged me until I was in my fifties). So those of you who have chosen to remain single to serve the Lord, do not think you are a freak or a failure to your family.
Take strength and comfort in knowing that in Heaven you will be a part of a Divine family.
Another point is that I feel closer to my Christian family than I do to my biological family and have met many Christians who echo that sentiment. To me they truly are my brothers and sisters and we are very close.
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah El Shaddai (our God who is sufficient for our needs) for blessing me with Your comfort and strength to endure the scorn of others for obeying Your call for me to remain single in order to follow Your in my life. Thank you for providing brothers and sisters who are of great comfort and encouragement to me. I praise You in the name of Your son who must have experienced tremendous pressure to marry in His culture in the time He walked amongst us Jesus Christ. Amen.
May the sunshine of Jesus’ sweet love bless you today and every day
And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My name’s sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and inherit eternal life. Matthew 19:29 New King James Version Wealth comes at a cost.
Are you prepared to pay the cost for Heavens treasures? Joseph- Anthony: Green
Following Christ always comes at a cost. Many times it means being rejected by your family.
That hurts, believe me I know.
Many times following Christ will mean sacrificing your house to travel abroad or to another city to serve in difficult circumstances.
I know, I sacrificed leaving the comfort of country to travel to a country where I did not know the language and lived under very difficult primitive circumstances.
Now this is why I strongly do not believe in short term missions and here are the reasons why:
When I was teaching in China it took me six months before some students were interested in developing a relationship with Christ. Believe me they had many questions
If you are there only for a month or two even if they are interested who is going to teach them after you are gone?
Who is going to lay the foundation?
Two: If you go to a third world county and build some homes for poor people : the people do not know how to take care of them and in a year the house looks like a shanty shack, two the neighbours will become jealous which causes fights
Three many times they just want money or to improve their English skills. If you have an interpreter they tell the people what the government want to hear and not what you are telling them, you need to know the language and customs.
But your reward in return will be a crown presented to you by Christ in Heaven.
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Adonai (God is sovereign) for the promised blessing of receiving a rich reward fro Your precious son upon my arrival in Heaven because of my sacrifice to You. I also thank you my love because in these trying circumstances it has brought me closer to You. I praise You in the name of He who left His father in His home to come to serve us Jesus Christ. Amen.
May the sunshine of Jesus’ sweet love bless you today and every day
