" Your Moment In The Word"

Just want to remind you today that God made you amazing. Life may not have gone the way you wanted it to but God is still in control. You were created with great care and attention. Your birth was not a mistake. You are breathing because God kept you alive. You were fearfully and wonderfully made. You are absolutely, incredibly amazing ❤️❤️❤️

In the same manner that a swimmer can be deceived by the currents in open water, the people of God can be deceived to think that they can make it on their own. They sometimes think that their successes are due to their own capabilities. However, true humility will credit God for every success whether it be great or small. We should use our talents to glorify God and to uplift others.

No matter what difficulties you face in this life, God gives peace in the midst of the storm. Trust Him with your storm.

When things don't go well people usually quote Romans 8:28" And we know that all things work for good to them thst love God....". However, this verse may be hard to understand in difficult times. However, no matter how hard the circumstance, the Sovereign God is able to make it work for our good, to help others and to give honor and glory to Him. Hard times cannot thwart the plans of a loving God.

Over 2000 years ago, Jesus went to Calvary. With his precious blood he signed our pardon and set us free from the bondage of sin. We can now enjoy a new life because he signed our pardon and paid it all.

As a people we all need to examine the value of the cross. It was on that old rugged cross that sinful men were reconciled to God through the shed blood of Jesus Christ. The cross exposes our desperate sinful state and our unworthiness. Today we glory in the cross because , on that cross Jesus suffered and died to pardon and sanctify each of us.

Although Barabbas was a convicted prisoner who was condemned to die...he is just like the rest of us. We are all guilty of sin and deserve death but Jesus took our place at Calvary. He loves Barabbas just as he loves us.

In the same manner that Jesus cried over Jerusalem, he still weeps over the souls that are lost. We reject him daily by the life we live. However, he still loves us and came to let us know.

Although we go through difficult times they are always working for our good.

Lamentations 3:22-23 " The stedfast love of the Lord never ceases, his mercies never come to an end. They are new every morning. Great is your faithfulness". Friends God's great love enables us to get up and face each new day. His compassion and kindness can never be depleted nor exhausted. No matter how disobedient or how dire our circumstances, God's love and faithfulness remain constant. His fa...

God has called us from sin to live a life that is holy, pure and clean. We must be holy, because He is holy.

Having many friends and being rich are great blessing but do not guarantee a life of happiness. People usually ascend to high positions but are soon replaced Consequently, many live a defeated life. However, we are encouraged to set our affections on God and things above. God is the master key to success. Success is not measured in dollars and cents but in a life that has served the Lord.

You have to make a choice today whether you are going to serve God or not. Today is your day of salvation.

To be born of the Spirit refers to the baptism of the Holy Ghost. This is what happened on the day of Pentecost when Jesus' disciples and other believers were filled with the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in tongues. Being born of water and of the Spirit places the believer into the Kingdom of God. Without the Spirit of Christ, we are none of His. (Romans8:9) Be filled with the Spirit

Jesus answered, verily verily I say unto thee, Except a man be born again of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter, into the kingdom of God. (St John 3:5). Water baptism is an essential part of Salvation. It is a part of the New Birth experience and expresses faith in God by obedience to His Word. It is an identification with Christ's burial and should be administered in the name of Jesus ( Act...

Jesus is the Light of the World. If you follow Him you will not stumble but shall have the light of life.

In order to follow Jesus we must change our loyalties. We must deny ourselves, take up the cross daily and follow Him. He is the Way, the Truth and the Life. There is no alternate route. In Acts chapter 2 the Jews in Jerusalem, after hearing the Gospel message, asked what they should do to be saved. In verse 38 they were told to repent of their sins, be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the...

Waiting for God to move in times of trouble and trials is not an easy feat. However, as Christians, we must learn to trust His timing. Waiting on Him will take faith and enduring patience. However, the answer will come and we realize the wait was worthwhile. Those who wait on God are blessed. And to make it more amazing, God is right there waiting for us to come to Him! What a God!

Why art thou cast down O my soul? And why art thou disquieted in me? Hope thou in God, for I shall yet praise him who is the health of my countenance and my God.

The only cure for bitterness is forgiveness.

God is our Refuge and strength a very present help in trouble(Ps46:1) He is the Lord Almighty and He is with us. No matter what earthquakes are in your path, no matter how troubled the waters are we have hope in Him because He is always there. Take time to pause and reflect..God is in control and we can wait on Him.

We have started a new year and it can be daunting. None of us can tell what the future holds or what trials it will bring. However, God has promised never to leave nor forsake us. He says to us in Is. 43:2" when we pass through the waters, He will be with us; and through the rivers, they will not overflow us, when we walk through the fire, we will not be burned, neither shall the flame kindle upon...

Do you wonder if God exists? If you do, do you wonder if He is still listening? I can assure you He is. He is faithful and true to His word. However, he takes note of persistent disobedience and rebellion. God loves you my friends. You can be brutally honest with Him. He can handle it. He will respond, in His time.

Life is short. Our days are numbered. Whether by nature, accident, or the return of Christ we can come face to face with God at any time. Therefore, let us make the rest of our lives count in service to Jesus Christ. It is worth all our investment.

But they that wait upon the Lord, shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run and not be weary, and they shall walk and not faint. Is 40:31
