What if...???


Where I go to school it is a very common practice to have students live in rented houses. God has been so great to me, He gave me amazing sisters (housemates). My housemates and I have been through thin and thick together. We have moved in to 3 different houses the last 3 years.  Right when we thought we have seen it all, a pipe broke down in the sewer system in our house!!! You can imagine how our house was fully occupied with a washroom smell (I hope u weren’t planning to eat after reading this...if so I do apologize but I just had to share it). However, that was the least of our concerns. We were told to not use water in the house, not even a drop. Whatttttt???? How can we live without water again??? Wow, we never thought we needed to be thankful for the water that runs when we opened the tap. We had taken water in our house for granted. How many other things in life to do we take for granted?

What if we woke up and we only found things we thanked God for yesterday? Scary eh? Do I thank God for who He is in my life? Do I thank Him for all that He is doing in my life? Do I thank Him for all that He has provided for me? Very quickly, I learned that I LACK thankfulness in my life. I just don’t thank God enough. I know there is annually celebrated Thanksgiving Day that we all look forward to, but what if every day was Thanksgiving...minus the turkey and gravy of course.  Jesus knew it was a key component of His prayer to thank God. The way we present our prayer to God should be the way Jesus did, by being thankful. “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.” Philippians 4:6.  In what kind of situations do we thank God? “Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” 1 Thessalonians 5:18. We all know God’s will for our lives is far better than our own, right? We now know His will is for us is to be thankful, always! Let us be transformed by this word let not another second pass before we thank Him for everything. Let our life Motto be to always be thankful.

Note
  • His will is for us to be thankful, ALWAYS!
  • Let us not take things for granted, let us not wait till there gone to understand the value they hold in our lives

Stay Blessed<3

Sermon by Jentezen Franklin: Spirit of Python: Teaching Angels to Worship

When you are going to hell/trails and you worship is when you can teach the Angels to Worship :) 1) God is Spirit : the Spirit is looking for people who will worship Him in truth and In spirit. *In Truth: the right truth (Jesus : see John 14:6) * In Spirit: even during trails we need to be in the spirit of Joy, Faith, Hope and Love "God is spirit,  and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.” John 4:24 2) God can make something out of nothing : before God spoke the world into motion it was nothing. He took what was nothing made it into something. He also hung it on nothing, there is nothing that holds the universe in place! “Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation?      Tell me, if you understand." Job 38:4 How and when can we teach worship to the Angels? Angels Vs. Us Angels 1) Angels have never been nor will they ever be under the course of sin 2) They live in a perfect place (Heaven) 3) The fir...

He is a Better Planner!

I did not mean to take the whole summer off from blogging it just so happen to be that way. Partly due to the numerous things that were changing in my life but more so due to lack of better planning/ time blocking. One of the highlights of my summer was becoming a Mrs. I never knew the weight the pre-fix would carry until I heard someone address me as such. I don't know about you but the Amharic word is, even more, weightier, "ወይዘሮ/weyizero"!. That was one of my life updates. Now that I said that, let's get to the meat and potatoes of my post... I have said before that I am a recovering perfectionist. Today, I stand before you confirming that statement still rings true in my life. I confess, somedays, I face some battles as if I had never before and get frustrated because I haven't gotten perfect at not being a perfectionist! You see the irony...   Tracing back where my want/need to be perfectionist came from, I was surprised to find out that it was linked to ...
