He That Hath An Ear!! Part 2

Ok let me get back on track. Last night the revivalist was trying to make these connections and quoting a lot of these "cliches" that the church uses. No disrespect but they are getting to be too commercial. But let me not lose my focus AGAIN. Anyway the evangelist began to talk about a wasp and a wasp nest and he was making the analogy of I guess how God can change you so to speak. So he stated he would visit the wasp nest and look inside and forgive me my first thought was, "Yeah G… Continue

He That Hath An EAR!!!!

Since the passing of my mom I have learned that NOW I have to be keen as to what I hear in my EAR and my Spirit .. I say that because there are times when grief overtakes me and the enemy begins his attack(s) so I have to really stay focused on the WORD and allow the Holy Spirit to minister to me ... now I've always done that BUT it seems I have to really make an "EFFORT" this time to do that. Last night I went to a revival service and something just struck me while listening to t

Why Are We On ANOTHER Social Website???

While visiting here today and leaving my comments etc .. I just wondered in my own little mind .. why are we "here"??? And when I ask that question to MYSELF it came from the thought of so many social websites and being a part of many of them but NOT really contributing anything to them. Just "there". So I wonder when we receive invitations to them, even HERE .. what's the true purpose?? Is it truly for the purpose of ministry and/or introducing the ministry GOD has called you to

"LISTEN TO HIM!"

Dearly Beloved,

"LISTEN TO HIM!"

"Peter said to Jesus, ‘Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you wish, I will put up three shelters-one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.’ While he was still speaking, a bright cloud enveloped them, and a voice from the cloud said, ‘This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased. Listen to him!’" (Matthew 17:4-5 NIV).

Many people nowadays enjoy being in the

Do We Know Who We Really Are In Christ??

You know it always amazes me how perceptions are formed and how they, in many cases, shapes the foundation of who we are or who we "perceive" ourselves to be. Since my mother's passing I guess you could say I've been on this quest. Nothing like I was on before when there was a hunger for God in me. I would spend hours in prayer, reading and studying the Word and shut myself out from so many things because in my heart I "felt" there was more to this walk if you will than what I was

The Blessings of Obedience

People, one of the biggest problems I see with new and even older christians is... they don't get what they're looking for so they bail. What a deal breaker, huh? If you don't get what you want, you just get out. That's what our society has taught us for every little thing we don't feel like dealing with. But this has made us a society of weak-minded, easily-swayed, spoiled little babies who cannot endure anything longer than.... "it's about me" coming out of our mouths. My friends, saints, it's… Continue

Careful Where You Walk, Stand and Sit!

Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

Dear Beloved,

What does your silence mean?

What does your silence mean? Kings 18:21 (New Living Translation)21 Then Elijah stood in front of them and said, “How much longer will you waver, hobbling between two opinions? If the Lord is God, follow him! But if Baal is God, then follow him!” But the people were completely silent. Continue

"WHO IS BOLU?"

Dearly Beloved,

"WHO IS BOLU?"

"‘A son honors his father, and a servant his master. If I am a father, where is the honor due me? If I am a master, where is the respect due me?’ says the LORD Almighty" (Malachi 1:6 NIV).

A drama usually repeats itself in my home recently. Because of valued respect that is in the Yoruba culture, my ten-year-old son, Boluwatife, wants his younger sister and the other two younger

DILIGENCE, IT IS!

Dearly Beloved,

DILIGENCE, IT IS!

"Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made everything the LORD commanded Moses; with him was Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan -- a craftsman and designer, and an embroiderer in blue, purple and scarlet yarn and fine linen" (Exodus 38:22-23 NIV).

Unexplainable Power

Without Pharaoh's pursuit of Israel at the Red Sea, there is no miraculous deliverance. Without Lazarus's death, there is no rising to life. Without Goliath, there is no underdog story. Without Peter stepping out of the boat, there is no miracle on the water. Without Judas' betrayal, there is no resurrection type! Think about the last time God did something in your life that can only be explained as God did it! ...From Prime Time with God Continue

Dear Beloved,

AN INTERRUPTING BLESSING

"While Jesus was still speaking, some men came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue ruler. `Your daughter is dead,' they said. `Why bother the teacher any more?' Ignoring what they said, Jesus told the synagogue ruler, `Don't be afraid; just believe'" (Mark 5:35-36, NIV).

Antichrist - A saviour?.... Anti-spiritual activism....

WORD OF GOD
... through Bertha Dudde - 23.4.1947

Antichrist - A saviour?.... Anti-spiritual activism....

The spirit of the Antichrist is such that he will approach people in the disguise of a saviour although his will utterly opposes God in as much as he does not acknowledge a God of love, just as he, in fact, will reject all spirituality as supernatural and therefore unverifiable, thus non-existent. E
