My hope is built on nothing else than JESUS BLOOD and RIGHTEOUSNESS ....

HOPE becomes the key Word here.

But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance - Romans 8:25

Hope is a wonderful thing as it empowers us to strive far beyond what's considered possible. But the real key is not in what you hope for but in who you put your hope in!

Psalm 130:5 - I wait for the LORD, my soul waits, And in His word I do hope.

Hope in God is by far the greatest hope ever for two powerful reasons.

1. It's eternal and not based on temporary circumstances.

2. The root motive is based on establishing an intimate loving relationship with our creator.

Jeremiah 31:3 - The LORD has appeared of old to me, saying: “Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love; Therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you.

Although hope can be attained in an instant by faith In Jesus. The process from that point on is one that's ongoing and comparable to a scavenger hunt.

As we grow and learn from the scriptures we gain new clues that are intended to lead us to new levels of wisdom and discernment that God has set before us to follow after.

But there comes a point when our newfound hope requires us to surrender all of our preconceived notions and expectations and simply trust in what has been promised regardless of the physical evidence.

This surrender is not mere hopeium or blind faith. It's more about learning to rest in the promises that are given by God that testify with our spirit as undeniable truth.

The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God,
- Romans 8:16

This spiritual connection is key if we hope to overcome the many challenges we will face on this journey of faith.

Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful - Hebrews 10:23

Jesus came to earth not just to redeem and rescue us from the power of sin and death. He also came to be an example and model for us how we ought to live out these promises until they at fulfilled by his second coming.

I hope you reach this place of comfort in knowing that hope in him is not in vain but will provide what's needed.

But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing - James 1:4

All things work together for good for then that love the Lord.

Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. - Matthew 11:28

Are you tired? Do you feel overwhelmed by the burdens of everyday life that continuously crash over you like the waves of the ocean?

Good news, there is relief at hand and it's as close as spoken prayer from the heart.

When Jesus walked this earth doing the will of his father he carried the weight of the world on his shoulders. Even though he was Devine in nature he choose to walk as if he was a human, subjected to all things of temptation and suffering. He only used his supernatural abilities as he was directed by the spirit of God according to the will of his heavenly father.

If you look at the last three years of his ministry he often spent time alone in prayer as it was vital to his direction and even more for his strength to endure all things that needed to be accomplished and carried out.

Jesus was focused but even he grew weary and burdened. Prayer and resting in his father's presence were where he would go to be refreshed and encouraged to press on. He promised us we too can partake in that same process and reap the benefits awaiting us in that special place.

It's up to us to put the time aside and be willing to be honest and contrite before God even though he already knows what we need before we ask. The mystery of this great exchange is what gives us the strength to carry on when we feel like we have nothing left to give.

It is vital we stay connected to our source of hope and purpose otherwise we can become weakened and fall for the attacks of the enemy.

So next time you feel overwhelmed and lacking the will to carry on remember your heavenly father who loves you greatly and waits to meet with you so that he can renew your strength and give you the courage to continue until his will is completed in your life.

A lot of people say, “I wish I was treated better.” And the tendency is to look around and blame the people in their lives for not treating them better. But the solution remains inside us. Why are we hanging around people who do not treat us respectfully? How did we get to this place? Is our self-esteem so low that we’ve become comfortable around people who routinely criticize us and denigrate us, who ridicule us and put us down? Fortunately, a solution is always at hand.
Our first step is to look inside ourselves and realize that we deserve to be treated at all times with respect and honor. We need to quiet our mind and deeply realize and understand that moving forward means associating only with people who lift us up, who treat us with kindness and understanding.
Once we realize that our soul needs respect and kindness to feel at peace, the next step is to examine our close relationships and make sure we surround ourselves only with people who reflect who we want to be and how we want to feel. Energy is contagious, and people with toxic, negative energy have a way of making other people feel bad. Why spend one more moment with a person like this? Move on.
Once you remove a few people from your circle, you will feel lighter and happier. It won’t be a coincidence. It may seem challenging to remove a few friends, but it is actually easier than remaining in a hurtful, negative cycle. Spend your energy on people and situations that move your life forward.

A generational curse is passed down through the generations, with the same recurring problems and troubles that all of the previous ancestors experienced.
Whatever is not transformed by God will be transferred to the next generation!

The curse of the Lord is on the house of the wicked, but He blesses the home of the just. Proverbs 3:33

A curse comes on the house of the wicked, not just the wicked individual.

Even Science confirms that we can inherit traits through our parent’s genes, but they are dormant and activated by our choices and associations!

You are not responsible for what is passed on to you but for what is activated.

It ran in your family until it ran into you. Generational CURSES end with you.

Give your life to Christ Jesus and the Holy Spirit be your lead.

God Bless you

THE BEST FOOD EVER!!!

Psalm 34:8 - Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him!

What is your all-time favorite home-cooked meal?

Did you make it yourself or did someone else prepare it for you?

Chances are it had a lasting impact on you and became a cherished memory that's as real as the day you first experienced it.

Food is one of the most basic and yet shared sacred traditions for all cultures. But as wonderful as the food can be the deeper connection comes from the circumstances surrounding it and whom we share it with.

Rarely does such a memorable meal occur by accident without many years of experience by trial and error until it's perfected?

Like all great things in life it first requires an idea, followed by planning and gathering the correct ingredients. Food comes in many forms and textures and creates a unique aroma that triggers all of our multi-sensory receptors.

Food is a necessity we require so that we can function and be productive according to our gifts and talents. And yet in this age of abundance and overconsumption, many people fail to feed themselves with spiritual nourishment found only in the scriptures and are in reality starving to death.

Deuteronomy 8:3 - So He humbled you, allowed you to hunger, and fed you with manna which you did not know nor did your fathers know, that He might make you know that man shall not live by bread alone; but man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the LORD.

Without this life-giving food that's available to all, we run the risk of never reaching our true potential as God desires. And even worse could miss out on spending eternity with our loving heavenly father.

1 John 4:10 - In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

His living word is food for our hungry souls and is the only source that satisfies.

John 6:35 - And Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst.

Psalm 119:103 - How sweet are Your words to my taste, Sweeter than honey to my mouth!

Have you tasted his living word and by faith placed your trust in it for salvation?

John 11:26 - And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die.

Do you believe this? Come and have a taste of the bread of life.

My heart bleed for this generation

According to report Elon Musk and his company are in the final stages of making a Robot Wife. The supply of Robot Wives is expected to roll out in September 2023.

They will reach Africa by November 2023.

Robot Wife will use batteries that last by a menstrual circle. Batteries will only be charged for the full three days and operate for a month.

S*x with a Robot Wife will require a Password, Pattern, or Fingerprint to avoid tempering.

The Robot will cost around USD$3,144 depending on the specs.

Copied!

If you are still in doubt whether Christ is coming soon, you are on your own. These are perfect signs of end time.

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
- 1 John 1:9

There is a term "Once in A Lifetime" that's associated with special circumstances, achievements, or people. It's generally accepted that such events are considered out of our control regardless of our efforts.

In spiritual terms, salvation can be considered a once-in-a-lifetime (once saved is save) occurrence as well but I believe is misunderstood when it comes to proper understanding and application of it to our lives.

Before we proceed we must understand a few crucial aspects in relationship to this plan.

1.) Sin - for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God -Romans 3:23

2.) Salvation offered to all - And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
- Luke 3:6

3.) Gift - For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord - Romans 6:23

The part that's up for debate and I believe is false is the popular view that you need to continue to confess your sins as a means to sustain your salvation as a continued work.

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast - Ephesians 2:8‭-‬9

This also applies to the notion that you can lose your salvation and need to continually recommit by saying the sinner's prayer.

In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory.
- Ephesians 1:13‭-‬14

Yes we should grieve and repent when we do wrong whenever possible but we also should not believe the lie of the
the enemy who seeks to make us feel unworthy and act in self-condemnation.

There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit - Romans 8:1

Our response should seek to please and honor our savior through our conduct and pursuit of holiness.

But as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct,

- 1 Peter 1:15

The question we must ask ourselves is have we placed our faith in his promises for salvation?

Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; and walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour. - Ephesians 5:1‭-‬2

Good Parents will endure pains and obstacles in order to provide the best needed to help grow and nurture their child to become success full and the best versions of themselves.

God demonstaights these very same desires for us. For example, we all are selfish and rebellious when it comes to conducting our affairs. Our defaulted nature is sinful and rejects the notion we need help from anyone let alone God himself.

Isaiah 53:6 - All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned, every one, to his own way; And the LORD has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.

God in his sovereignty would be justified to allow us to suffer the full consequences of our rebellious attitude towards him. And yet his great and unfathomable love for us has provided a cure for our sin and opportunity for all to be set free and forgiven.

Romans 5:8 - But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Such love exemplifies the heart of our heavenly father who views us as his children and wants us to share in his joy and pass it on to those around us in desperate need of such relief.

When we humbly choose to surrender to his mercy and by faith place our complete trust in Christ's redemption work on the cross we become a new creation.

As I pondered this transformation I envisioned how spiritually we are like a flower that's freshly bloomed in the garden of heaven producing a pleasing aroma that brings pleasure to our heavenly father.

Ephesians 3:17 - that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love,

Now is time to share the gospel of Jesus Christ. Will you ?

DM Me for more details on this.

God Bless

Blessed be the Lord, Who daily loads us with benefits, The God of our salvation! Selah - Psalms 68:19

Benefits - something that produces good or helpful results or effects or that promotes well-being

We all want the very best when it comes to just about anything that will improve the quality of our lives. Whenever we make any major decisions the underline thought is how can it benefit
us the most?

On the surface, this almost appears like a contradiction as the Bible teaches we should be selfless.

Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. - Philippians 2:3‭-‬4

This does not mean we can't be responsible and choose things that can help us. With maturity, we learn to place God at the center of all decisions by seeking to honor and glorify him in all things.

But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
- Matthew 6:33

This voluntary act of humility grants us biblical favor by the example of reaping and sowing for the kingdom.

Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. - Galatians 6:7

Even though this passage from Plasms 69 was speaking directly to Isreal in that time period what kingdom benefits apply to us today.

Salvation - For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. - Romans 10:13

Strength - And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness.
- 2 Corinthians 12:9

Peace - and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. - Philippians 4:7

Joy - “These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full. - John 15:11

Love - This is real love—not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins. - 1 John 4:10

These are just a small sample of all the benefits that God gives freely to those who place their trust in him for salvation. Have you by faith qualified to receive them?

God Bless You

But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us - Romans 5:8

Everyone makes mistakes in life and sometimes the results can have a major negative impact on another person's life and well-being.

For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God - Romans 3:23

It's especially uncomfortable when it's done to us by someone we love and trust deeply. We are forced to deal with the consequences of someone else's actions and it's never a pleasant experience.

Take for example the apostle Peter. During the last supper Jesus told Peter he would deny Jesus and his response was one of shock and disbelief that he would do such a thing to his friend.

And Peter remembered the word of Jesus who had said to him, “Before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.” So he went out and wept bitterly - Matthew 26:75

He was completely devastated that he did such a thing to Jesus after three years of being taught and serving with him. I'm sure in his mind he was thinking to himself " If I get a second chance I know I can be better and learn from my mistakes".

The truth is that God is the God of second chances.

I am appealing that this message make relevance to you ,because this is how we all gained the ability to choose Jesus by faith as a ransom for our sins and receive complete forgiveness which is our second chance!

For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved - John 3:17

Salvation does not mean we will not continue to make mistakes but it does help to remove the unrealistic burden of guilt and shame that the devil seeks to use against us causing self-condemnation.

There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit - Romans 8:1

It's been greatly discussed over the years that Judas Iscariot could have been forgiven of his betrayal of Jesus if he had asked Jesus for forgiveness instead of ending his life due to pride?

We do know that the finished work of the cross of Jesus' life death and resurrection has provided everyone a second chance.

The only question that remains is are you Peter or Judas?

Peter wept and asked for forgiveness while Judas killed himself.

I will advise to you FOLLOW the Peter's example. REPENTANCE is the only way to eternal life.
Believe in Jesus as your Lord and personal Savior, then confess your sins to JESUS CHRIST in prayers.

DM me if you are willing to give your life to Christ and if there's anything you want to share.

God Bless You.

When God takes over, and is enshrined in our lives, night ceases to exist before the all encompassing power of the Everlasting Light!

Revelation 21:22-25 KJV 👇

And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof. And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it. And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there.

SURRENDER YOUR FLASHLIGHT

Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. - Psalm 119:105

Have you ever been walking somewhere at night with a flashlight and then suddenly the battery dies and the light goes out. For a moment panic sets in but if you wait a moment or two, your eyes will adjust to the dark and you will be able to see enough to continue most of the time depending on your circumstances.

As your eyes adjust you can actually see things you could not with the flashlight as it is bright but only in a small focused area. The same applies to this scripture in the Psalms. Apart from God we are walking in the dark spiritually speaking and can only see a short distance in front of us.

As we come to trust in Jesus and follow in his footsteps our path becomes easier to see and we learn from the scriptures how we should live and treat others. In time our heart becomes more like His and we can see things never seen before as the holy spirit speaks to our heart and mind and can further direct us where to go and what to do when we arrive.

Gods word is alive with everything we need so we can see in the spiritual darkness that surrounds us and direct us to safety. We also become like a lighthouse to those stranded in that darkness and offer hope like a beacon of light in the midst of a storm.

The Bible truly illuminates our path to the father but we first must be willing to put down our flashlight and allow him to adjust our spiritual eyes to see in a new light that better than the one we have known.

The Lord bless thee, and keep thee:The Lord make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace. - Numbers 6:24-26

This is probably the most quoted verse spoken as a closing prayer at the end of a church service.

God charged Moses to declare this blessing over Arron and the Israelites before they moved forward. It is a powerful example of how the Lord cares for his people. But it is also a high calling to be set apart for the Lord's use .

Becoming a living example of his ways in a world that seeks to exalt itself above all is no easy task. They had to prepare themselves to receive this blessing and allow it to take root in their hearts as they prepared to leave sinai. The road that laid ahead of them would not be easy and God wanted to reasure them of his promises to them so they would have confidence in his provision when things became difficult.

We also today should be mindful of God's promises to us by the victory Jesus provided to us from his death and resurrection. Only then can we face life's challenges knowing the God we serve is on our side and,will never leave or forsake us.

They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. - Psalm 126:5

Living a Christ centered life is not always easy or glamorous as it sometimes portraid . At times it can be downright dirty and painful as the curse of sin and death rears its ugly head and can cause a whole lot of problems for us and the ones we love.

Jesus never promised this life would be easy but he promised we shall overcome if we trust in him and walk in his ways. That's not to say that there is no joy in serving the living God. But like all things there is bad as well as good and you can not have one without the other. This verse speaks about how we should remember to look ahead of our struggles and sin and that the tears we shed today will be like seeds that are planted in a field that in time thru much toil and suffering will rise to a great harvest of joy and thankfulness. Not only does this build our faith in ways we could not imagine but it slowly over time transforms our hearts to desire more for the kingdom as we realize how wretched we are in our natural nature apart from our relationship with Christ.

I myself feel a bit convicted as there are people who suffer far more than me for the cause of Christ in their daily lives but we should not compare ourselves to others as we all have been given a specific path to follow as he directs us.

But we should pray for our brothers and sisters in the faith that they will overcome in their daily battles as God has commanded us to do so.

In the end all wrongs will be righted and hope will be restored.And our weeping which may endure for a night shall become joy in the morning.
