Lesson 1 : Humility is essential for any Christian's walk with God

November 1, 2013

Today is a very pretty day, the sun is bright the sky is very blue with no lining of clouds. I am sitting alone in the family room ( it is very rare that I get to sit alone this time of day specially in the family room...it's 4:40pm). Today, I learned that I had taken my life style for granted. It took a trip to a really busy area of the city to help me see what I haven't thanked God for. I saw little kids, kids almost half my age working to make ends meet. I saw people working so hard despite their age, because I saw both young and old laboring. I felt very uncomfortable to the point that I almost got a headache. I told the person who took me there to get me out. To my defense the area didn't have an inviting odor. I just wanted to leave that place as soon as possible. Then I thought, what if God had wanted to use me in that place, what would my response be? Hours later, I am sitting back comfortably in our family room  and I am recognizing that I need to be more humble. The Lord needs to work on me! Dear God I thank You for all that You have given me. I thank You that my parents worked Hard so that my siblings and I don't get to see the poverty I saw today. God, You are so worthy of all my praises.
   
"If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land" 2 Chronicles 7:14

"He leads the humble in what is right, and teaches the humble his way." Psalms 25:9

" Likewise, you who are younger, be subject to the elders. Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble."1 Peter 5:5

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 ...
