" Your Moment In The Word"

Lord, I need to understand my own heart. My prayer today is "Search me O God and know my heart. Try me and know my thoughts. And see if there be any wicked way in me and lead me in the way everlasting". Ps. 139:23-24

Love is a miracle but it is also vulnerable. We let our guards down and open up to those we trust. Sometimes we do get hurt and for some it is difficult to move on. However, God loves us and He wants us to know He does. His love was manifested on Calvary. There Jesus Christ gave His life for you and me. That is an AMAZING love. He loves you my friend. Evang. H. Staple-Reid

Faith has 2 parts a) a belief that God exists and b) the belief that he rewards them that seek him diligently. The woman with the issue of blood in Mark 5 believed that if she touched Jesus' clothes she would be whole. God can do the impossible and He never fails. Have faith in God

Today, Jesús is offering Salvation to you. Therefore, if you hear His voice calling to you, please do not harden your heart. Now is the accepted time, today is your day of Salvation..

Friends you may be facing a rough patch now. You are almost out of options. It may seem as if nothing is working in your favor. I am encouraging you to choose joy over hopelessness. Rejoice because the Lord is your refuge and strength. The rubber may have hit the road, you may be between a rock and a hard place...look beyond your circumstances..see the bigger picture..God is able..trust in Him and...

Jesus wants us not only to love people who are lovable. He wants us to love the difficult- the complainers, the bullies, the gossipers and those who get on your last nerve. We are not perfect, yet He loves us. We must therefore love others like He does..it is a sure sign of faith.

God sometimes asks us to act on certain matters. Our obedience is KEY. Saul is a perfect example . God asked him to kill all the Amalekites. However, he only did it in part. He killed some and saved others including King Agag,the best of the sheep and oxen. God said he was sorry he had made Saul King and Saul was rejected. Although Samuel mourned for Saul, there was nothing he could do. God had al...

The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked, who can know it? I the Lord search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of His doings".

Today when you examine the events of your life, what do you see? The situations that you face may not be good, but God says in Jeremiah 29:11 that the plans that He has for you are not to harm you. They are intended to give you hope and a future. Look around you and declare that everything that happened in my life that was good " God did It"

If someone has hurt or wronged you, do something about it. FORGIVE! Jesus said in St Matthew 6:15 " But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses." Friends when you forgive you set yourself free.

We live in a corrupt world and as Christians we MUST take a stand for holiness and righteousness. This simply means drawing the line on activities which go against our beliefs and values. Yes, you may lose some friends and family may turn against you, when you do but i assure you that God will stand by you. When the night is the blackest he has promised that He will never leave us nor forsake us.....

70 years is the normal span of human life. One may or may not live longer. How are you living your life? What kind of story is being told? Is it intriguing or frightening? Is it lived for God or on your own term? God has blessed us with life which we should be willing to give back to Him. Therefore, live your life according to His will and purposes. Evangelist Staple-Reid

Hate is a strong word with strong connotations. It is often overused or misused. However, it is the stronger side of righteousness....but it must be handled with care. We should never hate individuals but we must hate evil... A righteous man should love God but hate lying and every false way. He should endeavor to hate sin and evil in all their forms and love good. Those who love the Lord will lov...

Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength,and honour and glory and blessing. He is now seated on the throne. We worship Him today as the Lord of Lords and king of Kings. His name is Jesus. Will you serve him today.?

Friend, God has great plans for your life. Your plans have a greater chance for success when they are surrendered to Him. Jer 29:11" For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Since this is credible, we should be happy to surrender our plans to Him.

Phillipians 4:8 " Finally brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things". Since thoughts shape our identity and conduct, our thoughts can help us in creating and sustaining the bal...

In today's society it is difficult to find people who are honest and upright in their character. In many cases it is people trying to make a name for themselves and choosing inappropriate paths to do so. However, when we feel the pressure to conformour character can stand firm in the bedrock of conviction saying" this is God's way and it is best" We can choose to do right, the decision is in our h...

Happy 2024 my friends. Phillipians 4:8 " Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lively, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things" Think positively my friends. May we keep our face towards the sunshine, and keep th...

They say a person needs just three things to be happy: 1. Something to do 2. Someone to love 3. Something to look forward to. These bring temporary happiness. However, if lasting fulfillment is what you seek. All three can be found in a relationship with Jesus. Seek Him today while you have a chance. Evang. Staple-Reid.

Although mankind has sinned and strayed from God He still encourages us to come and reason with Him. He still extends His loving hand of mercy to bring us back from our sinful state into a proper relationship with Him. We do not have to choose to die in sin because the blood that He shed at Calvary still has miraculous power to save.

Many persons build their life on things..money, fame, family and friends. They are often disappointed when the sand that they build on erodes when the storms of life come. However, any life that is built on Jesus Christ, the Solid Rock will not fail. When the storms of life are raging we will stand and our footing will be secure. Jesus Christ is the Rock on which we stand.

When you are faced with difficulties and trials and you have done everything that you can possibly do I encourage you to stand 1. On God's Word 2 on His promises 3 on His faithfulness Know that He cares for us and will never leave nor forsake us. Be encouraged my friend...take Heart..God stands with you in your difficulties. He is concerned about you.

In order to know God, and to have a relationship with him, we must experience him: his love, his grace, his mercy, his kindness and compassion. That is the reason we are encouraged today to taste and see God's goodness. Will you try Him today?

St John 3:16 states " For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him, should not perish but have everlasting life". Love, is not something that is done in words only. It must be followed by practical everyday actions. True love gives. It will require a personal sacrifice of time, effort or money. Let us love today in deed and in truth.( H. Staple -R...

As Christians we cannot walk the journey alone. We must have faith in Jesus Christ. We must have the mind of Christ so that we have access to his guidance, his leadership and his direction. We must die to self and sin and completely commit ourselves to doing his will. Christ lives within us to help us change from the inside out.
