WITHIN SCRIPTURE.

TRIBE OF LENDERS   Proverbs 19:17  He who is kind and generous to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will reward him for what he has done. -------------------------------------------- It is easy to go through life with the mind of "it's not enough...it's not enough". By nature, we were created to recognize the fact that it's we first then .... We were created to survive and always know that there is not enough. Our genes have been made to think about ourselves alone and how we survive in the world of scarcity. This fact that thrives within us is not supposed to be proved true. There are several results that God has set for those that prove such rules wrong. You know, when you try to go against human nature and try to mimic the nature of God, you attract more of what God has set for the cause. As the human nature is self centered and self seeking, stepping out of such to pursue kindness and open hands attracts God's attention...it attracts the rewa

AGENDA AT THE THRONE   Jeremiah 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 -------------------------------------------- There is something God has always held from the time He thought about the project of earth construction. There is a thought that He has always had ever since He created Adam and Eve...a thought to all humanity. The Bible above clearly shows us this Divine agenda...it reveals the thought. God thought of making man in His image. He wanted him with his wife to multiply and fill the earth. But He also wanted them to live in ultimate happiness and joy. He wanted them to take on His Gene of recreation. He of course didn't have the plan to stage a game of sorrow and sadness to humanity...to simply see how it feels to be in sorrow and sadness. That wouldn't fill His heart because He is not a being of sorrow but a being of happiness. At His throne, He drew cl

SUNDAY SERVICE  SERMON:                                        BEARING PAIN   Intro : Life's journey is often marked by suffering and pain. Sometimes, this pain can be so profound that it becomes a central part of our existence, especially as we approach the end of our earthly lives. Today, I want to speak to you about how we can bear this pain with grace and faith, even at the moment of death.   Prob : You feel you alone face what you face and that there is no helper to aid you through.   Purp : To give us hope that we can and can overcome all pain that presents itself before us. >>> Even Christ himself had nothing to help him when he called out for help in his agony. He wanted God to help but God didn't help. Not because God was not able to but because the formalities of his life were destined to the shedding of blood. Mere fact that he was in the human body was the fact that he was supposed to suffer and face pain like anyone else. But when God didn&#

MY BIBLE MY MIRROR   Hebrews 4:12  For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. -------------------------------------------- It is evident that God holds power in His word. The Israelites one day wanted to see God. They complained that Moses alone was speaking to God and that they too wanted to speak to God. God agreed and told Moses to gather them. As they were gathered, the Lord started to step out of His throne. The winds arose and lightning struck. And as we imagine, Him starting to clear His voice made earth quake and could be wasting the community. And what would happen when he spoke His precious words. Maybe the earth would disappear. If mere fact is that seeing God face to face earns you a place in the graveyard, then His words are so powerful. We have seen how much time God has taken to build His word into a Bible.

BEARING GRIEF  1 Peter 2:19  For it is commendable if a man bears up under the pain of unjust suffering because he is conscious of God. -------------------------------------------- There is just no short cut to moving a line on earth without sliding to the Leeward side of the catwalk. You move and at one point you slide. It is important to fall. Christ as a man on Earth moved the runway. He made the catwalk through the thin lines. But he had his strategies through the winds. You know he didn't just move carefree, knowing that God will protect. He had his plan on how to meter through the wild. And when it came to suffering under the hands on wolves, he knew how to bear the grief. As Christians, it is of course known that we will suffer in this world. We will face persecution everywhere we go.  It is therefore important to understand how to bear the grief.  You should understand the shape of your sorrow. You should also be in position to figure out the nature of your grie
