WISE IN YOUR OWN EYES

Image
Today's Word of advice for you is in  Proverbs 3:7 NKJV  Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the Lord and depart from evil. The advice in this scripture is to " fear the Lord". In other words, instead of focusing on ourselves and how brilliant, beautiful, rich, calculative, famous we are; we should focus on the Lord and how awesome, mighty and powerful He is to deliver and to save. Don't forget that what seems to make us wise in our own eyes is actually bestowed upon us by this same God we sometimes disregard. Is it your intelligence, beauty, riches, fame, power, connection, whatever it may be; dearly beloved, it is high time we departed from every form of evil and fix our eyes on Jesus Christ, the author and finisher of our faith.  Prayer: Lord, I thank you for this reality. Help me to always fix my eyes on You. There is nothing in me that is greater than You, nothing. I am weak but You are strong. I need Your guidance and Your wisdom. Send people into my ...

DO NOT DESPISE THEM!

Image
Today's Word of advice for you is in _*Matthew 18:10 AMP*_  *“See that you do not despise or think less of one of these little ones, for I say to you that their angels in heaven [are in the presence of and] continually look upon the face of My Father who is in heaven."*_  ```Looking down on anyone is a sign of pride. Don't forget that they're angels from God assigned to be responsible to them (children), but what is the Lord telling you today, .."don't thinking of anyone less than you are." Beloved, don't despise or think less of anyone especially those children who cannot even pay you for any good or services rendered to them, yes.... Let your attitude towards them not make them say ill of the God whom you serve. You were ones a child who hate to be maltreated or cheated by anyone. So, show some love to children around you always even if they are not your biological children. Protect them, like you will protect yourself, make the environment conduciv...

How do you tell if someone has awful parents?

Image
These things happened to me in the late 50s, but I cried all the time away from home. I cried at church, at school, on the playground, and in our neighborhood. Not one person asked what was wrong. I would look at leaders and teachers, almost begging with my eyes to get them to ask if things were okay at home. I waited outside until the last child was called inside the house, hoping we didn’t have to walk inside the cold, dark house alone. I told my brother it was an adventure. We had no food many times, so I found some dry cereal and gave it to him and then started his bath and made sure he was in bed. The following day, we dressed, and I was worried about lunch money. I would scour around and find enough change for milk and lunch money for my brother. I was so concerned about lunch money for some reason. I would say for my brother and me; it was the sadness on our faces that never left. You can’t pretend laughter or joy. It was also never passing a class and doing homework. We were th...

BE PRAYERFUL

Image
Today's Word of encouragement for you is in *Philippians 4:6-7* _NKJV_   _*“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus."*_ 🤔 ```I know things may not be going on in your life as planned. Honestly, you don't need to be too hard on yourself.```  🙏🏽 *Don't be anxious, don't worry, trust in the Lord with all your heart*, do not lean on your own strength, wisdom and understanding but in all your ways acknowledge God in your life. *Be prayerful*, cast all your pains on Him, and He is ever present than you think, He will make straight your paths, He will direct you to the best place, to grant you peace always. *Be thankful always!* See you are better than someone and remember this is not the end of your journey. You will testify.  I beg you, don't carry that h...

HEALING OF MEN AND THE NATIONS

Image
INTRODUCTION: The healing of land starts with God's healing of hearts. The world today is generally sick. With the world population rising to 7.84 billion persons. It is sick and faced with climate changed, destruction of nature, poverty, food and water scarcity, insecurity, war, economic meltdown, violence, terrorism, rape, health challenges, unemployment, racial injustice, religious conflict, corruption, and the likes. All these atrocities are committed by human beings, not animals. Therefore, we need the Lord to heal and restore us to wholeness.  Healing is the process of making or becoming sound or healthy again. According to Wikipedia, healing is the process of the restoration of health from an unbalanced diseased, damaged or revitalized organism. According to the story in 2Kings 5:1-14,  5  Now Naaman was commander of the army of the king of Aram. He was a great man in the sight of his master and highly regarded because through him the  Lord ...

Love of Money

Image
Today's word of advice for you is in Hebrews 13:5 -  Make sure that your character is free from the love of money, being content with what you have; for He Himself has said, “I will never desert you, nor will I ever forsake you,” Unhealthy desire for wealth has led to the ruin of many lives. Rather than being unhappy, jealous, greedy or covetous over what we do not have; instead, let our moral essence, our inner nature be thankful for what we do have and hopeful for what we will one day obtain.  Therefore:  - Be free from the love of money. For "the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils." (1 Timothy 6:10); - Be hard-working; - Stand up friend, be creative; -Think, plan and find a way to solving a specific human's problem in our society today;  - Be careful of "quick to get" syndrome so as to avoid quick crash/destruction/death; - Be contented and not covetous.  - Above all, depend on God and not on your ability, wisdom or strength.
