A Father to the Poor
August 28, 2014
Luke 4:18 "The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, NIV.
How will you feel, if your country's president gives you a handshake? When i was in college, the best reward you would be proud to receive is to shake hands with "Papa" the principle, but a prince, a king, a creator, did more and something which will give you a life time to ask yourself, who is this man? His name is Jesus and today i am proud to announce to you that He is the Father to the Poor. Jesus did not do as many of us do now "I wish they would not trouble me with their affairs. I want to hoard up my means, to invest in houses, lands, cars, businesses, etc." ~EGW, My Life Today. Jesus on the other hand though rich and have authority over the world ate together with the poor and rejected in the society. What did the people say when Jesus was with Zacchaeus? Luke 19: 7 All the people saw this and began to mutter, “He has gone to be the guest of a sinner.” Today, Jesus want to be your father not just a hand shake. And he doesn't care whether you're a sinner, rich or poor, just accept him and experience the joy of having a heavenly Father who understands your earthly problems. May God bless you as you heed to His word. Amen

HOW TO WALK WITHOUT LEGS.
September 10, 2014
John 4:23-24> Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. 24 God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.”
How can a mortal walk with God? What does God expect from us in walking with him? And how can we worship Him in truth and in spirit. We don't need legs to walk with God. All we need is what is termed "The fruits of the spirit" They are behaviours that a person who walks with God exhibit after being filled with the Holy Spirit. These behaviours include Love, Patience, Peace, Gentleness, Goodness, Kindness, Joy, Faithfulness, and Self control (Galatians 5:22-23). These beahviours are exhibited towards our neighbors, friends, families and even our enemies. "And the King will say, 'I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me!", Matthew 25:40-NLT. The world will be at peace, the will be no war, rape, robbery, murder just name them when we walk with God through the fruits of the spirit. As we go about our daily activities let us meditate on these words and pray for God's spirit to help us in fulfilling them. God bless you as heed to His word. Amen.

“Little” Things Are the Big Things
James 3:3-5 (NIV) When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can turn the whole animal. 4 Or take ships as an example. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot wants to go. 5 Likewise, the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark.
Both the bit in a horse’s mouth and the rudder of a ship are very
small compared to what they control. Yet, with a slight movement of the
hand, the horse’s or the ship’s direction can be completely changed. By
the same token, “even so the tongue is a little member and boasts great
things” (vs. 5, NKJV). In other words, a word or even a look or a gesture
might seem small, but each can change a friend into an enemy or transform a bad situation into something good. “A soft answer turneth away
wrath: but grievous words stir up anger” (Prov. 15:1). Imagine a horse
galloping at full speed and a ship slicing through the water at full throttle
but both headed in the wrong direction. The faster something goes, the
farther away it gets from its destination. The best course then is to stop
and turn around as soon as possible. The same is true of our words. If a
conversation is going from bad to worse, the sooner we stop, the better.
Luke 9: 51-56 (NIB)>51 As the time approached for him to be taken up to heaven, Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem. 52 And he sent messengers on ahead, who went into a Samaritan village to get things ready for him; 53 but the people there did not welcome him, because he was heading for Jerusalem. 54 When the disciples James and John saw this, they asked, “Lord, do you want us to call fire down from heaven to destroy them[a]?” 55 But Jesus turned and rebuked them. 56 Then he and his disciples went to another village.
Although the disciples had a biblical precedent for their suggestion
(2 Kings 1:10, 12), Jesus rejected the suggestion. His rebuke dramatically altered the situation. The story ends simply by indicating that “they
went to another village” (Luke 9:56). Jesus turned His rejection by a
Samaritan village into a learning experience for His followers. In the heat
of the moment, when feelings rise up and clamor for us to defend ourselves, we can remember the example of Jesus and, figuratively speaking,
move on “to another village.”
“As drops of water make the river, so little things make up life. Life is
a river, peaceful, calm, and enjoyable, or it is a troubled river, always casting up mire and dirt.”—Ellen G. White, That I May Know Him, p. 209.
What are some “little” things in your life that, as you dwell further
on them, might not be so “little” after all? Let us pray that the spirit of the Lord will always give us counsel as to how to use little things like our tongue to make a big importance out of it as we propagate the gospel. May God bless you as you heed to His word. Amen!
