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...

Sermon by Jentezen Franklin: The Power of Doing More than Expected

Even Jesus went a little farther...He did more than expected! Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.” Matthew 26:39 1) Jacob was working for his unfair father-in-law...and still did more than expected   Genesis 29 Jacob was tricked by his father-in-law Laban. But he never sinned against Laban and he always did more than what was expected from him! 2) Who did Jacob learn it from..doing more than expected? From his mother Rebekah "17  The servant hurried to meet her and said, “Please give me a little water from your jar.” 18  “Drink, my lord,” she said, and quickly lowered the jar to her hands and gave him a drink. 19  After she had given him a drink, she said, “I’ll draw water for your camels too, until they have had enough to drink.” 20  So she quickly emptied her jar into the trough, ran back to the we...

Just Jaded!

I hope you and your loved ones are safe in these crazy times. If any tragedy has come to your home, I pray God's peace and love envelops you right where you are. I pray that you rely on His unending love, mercy, grace, and strength in this time of hardship... I am, like most people, feeling very jaded. I have experienced more highs and lows in such intense frequencies now than any other time I can remember. I believe this is why the Lord has me sharing this... I had planned to write about loving people and what it looks like in different seasons. However, I felt a nudge that I should be sharing about the hope I have despite feeling jaded. To make sure we are on the same page about what I mean when I say jaded, here are two definitions from Merriam Webster's dictionary:  1: fatigued by overwork: EXHAUSTED  2: made dull, apathetic, or cynical by experience or by having or seeing too much of something I can identify with both definitions. In this season, I fin...
