Follow up video 4 Get Rich or Die Trying?

Maybe you are not even a victim of this kind of preaching! Maybe you escape the truth that the word brings for fear of having to CHANGE your life, so you seek watered down preachers who meet your worldly standard. Examine yourself! Examine yourself! don't hide behind the excuse "they have other uplifting messages...for they will come as an angel of light and deceive many". You do not want to be surprised on that day. It's one thing to know Jesus, but does Jesus know you? And for you who are holding onto God with everything you got and preaching his Word, not false interpretation and emotion aimed at eliciting applause and fame, keep fighting the good fight and do not be discouraged for the bible warned about this...

The Word: I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;  ²Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine.
 ³For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
 ⁴And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
 ⁵But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.

2 Thimoty 4: 1-5

Get Rich or Die Trying?

I get really confused when i see the body of Christ do certain things which are so clearly against the scripture that i begin to wonder if we have moved away from reading the WORD and now rely on our feelings and what we "think" God approves as if we understand his ways. A few days ago, i watched a video that completely rocked my world! It was of two prominent preachers dancing frantically at the alter which had been filled with money from the members in exchange for an anointing on their finances. It took me by surprise, before i knew it, i was in tears. I couldn't stop thinking of the thousands of people who are dying and going to hell because a false Christ is being portrayed, one who cares about your financial status rather than you being truly saved! And then we wonder why there are so many people who despise Christianity when all they see are a people who prophesy how much they love Christ but then live with the same worldly and money hungry principles as people of the world do. Trust me the WORD, 1 Timothy warns about such teachers. If you are a member of a church where Sunday service has become a breed between entertainment and a money ritual, where scripture is replaced with feelings and opinion, you need to GET OUT! and find a bible based church. where the preacher will not spare your feelings at the expense of your LIFE!

The Word: ⁵Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.

¹⁰For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.  ¹¹But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.

1 Timothy 6: 5&10-11

C'mon already Mr/Ms Right!!!

 

Jannette Ikz from the P4CM says it all in this video! Maybe you are tired of waiting for the person God has saved for you, you constantly wonder when he/she will arrive like you wait for that pair of shoes you ordered online in the mail. Maybe your happiness depends on your relationship status and you are just that person who absolutely needs to be in one at all times "single just isn't your thing". But maybe what you really need is to take the time off to figure out who God says you are. If you focus on God instead of worrying about when that special one will arrive, trust me trust the WORD all things will fall in place!...Even if we may not understand, just trust that God know what's best, He knows it all.

The Word: He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end.

                                                                                                                                  Ecclesiastes 3:11

Is a "tshirt" enough?

 

Caption: I know i ate your shoes today, and i will eat the carpet tomorrow but does this sweater count?

So i was thinking...just how deep does my/your love for God really go? Is it deeper than my love for people's opinions, than that sin i just won't let go, the excuses i make to keep from fully committing to God or even my love for money? I mean, does it go beyond wearing a shirt to have the whole world think we love Him? Is it about putting him on our facebook status and downloading every christian song we can find? Is it  even about  confessing out loud how much we can't live without Him? or does it come down to "what's deep down in our hearts", which is shown by whether we obey his commands? While you may be able to tell a tree by the display of its fruit, the fruits of the true christian are not displayed on a shirt, an item of clothing or a bumper sticker.  Are you like the dog in the picture? Will you continue to disobey God's commands, yet claim to love him? People, let us really seek God, He will reveal Himself and show us how we ought to love Him.

Please hurt my feelings!

 

Because silence is deadly, surrounding yourself with hush Christians/people is equivalent to death. I would rather be around people who will pull me to the side and correct me in love. Rather than those who would "shhhhhh" not mention it and just go with the flow, pat me on the back and quote scriptures of  blessings because they are too scared to offend me. All the while watching me flirt with sin and potentially loosing my soul. See, its like this: if you saw your friend walking onto a train track while a train approached at 200km/h, would you frantically yank them out of  harm's way or would you avoid telling them how unwise that act is in fear of offending them? The devil is no different my friend, he comes to kill the soul, steal the truth and destroy your life. Please don't spare my feelings at the expense of my life.

We all goin' sin? c'mon

 

So why do i still act like a slave? If the word says i have been set free from the bondage of sin (no longer a slave to sin) and have now been made a slave to righteousness, why did i for the longest time still believe in the popular phrase "we all goin' sin?" How come so many of us still tend to think we are bound to sin? This is because we still have a slave mentality thus continue to think and live as though we were still under captivity of sin. The famous cliche "we have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God" has become an excuse for stagnation. But we fail to understand, that scripture says " we have all sinned" meaning it is in the present passed. As long as we are born again and fellowship with Christ, we no longer have an obligation to sin! We sin because we give into what our heart and flesh desires. Fact is, if we walk by the spirit sin will become foreign to us. Get rid of the slave to sin mindset and start living in the freedom Christ died to give you.

The Scripture

¹⁴ but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed. ¹⁵ Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death. 

James 1:14-15

Sho Baraka- -New Music Video

 

The young Cali artist, Sho Baraka just released a new video: "We Can Be More". The song is FIRE! I mean there is so much i could say...but check it out for yourself.

It doesn't hurt to say it -- you are BEAUTIFUL...

It really doesn't matter what anybody says or thinks. Sometimes it doesn't even matter what or who God says you are, it all comes down to this: "do you believe you are who God says you are?" But it never hurts to tell someone they are beautiful, and genuingly mean it -- i promise, it will make their day a little easier.

This hand sucks- -Why even play?

It's not about what's in your hand. It's about how you play the game. Stop looking at other people's cards and trying to play their hand. There is something different about your circumstances which is meant to give God the glory He deserves. Maybe you wish your dad was around more, your mom cared, you were born into a different family, you had more self esteem or were financially stable. But understand that God wants to use that situation to show you there is nothing too painful he can't heal. This situation may just be an example for someone else's life. God will compensate you for putting you through stuff so his glory could  be seen.  Don't dwell on how bad you got it, focus on how to keep pleasing God despite the fact that life dealt you a bad hand. Are you going to throw in the cards? or would you keep playing?....you choose...

Oowee- -Skating makes me :D .. :P .. O_o

 

There is something so invigorating about cutting through the wind on a skateboard long-board. It's like i'm soaring, just like birds do. This is true...until i get carried away, close my eyes and run into a person, sidewalk or an electric pole...not so "invigorating" then lol... Aside from the minor accidents its all fun and giggles. Boy i tell you...there is no better way to clear your head. Nothing beats cruising down a hill on a clear summer evening in some shorts, a tank tee and some purple & white vans :p

It's pick up day - -Take the trash out!

It's funny how when the trash can gets full, we automatically know it needs to be emptied. The only way we can continue to use it is if we "took out the trash". However we forget to apply this same concept to our lives. No one makes it a point to gather up junk in their lives. Gathering goes hand in hand with life's journey. We tend to pick up stuff we need now or  on a rainy day...we just gather. While sometimes we may pick up important items which may come in handy, we also tend to pick up items which will only harm us(bad habits and scars from friends and ex boyfriends). We sometimes get so afraid of being alone that we constantly fill up our lives with hobbies, church activities and people. But as we pile things up and go through life, we become overloaded and begin to overflow. It becomes too much to handle so we loose control and break down. We ask God for change, we tell Him we just want something new, but the issue is; we have no space for what He has in store. WE NEED TO MAKE ROOM! I emptying the trash! I am beginning to understand the beauty of being alone. What it means to be satisfied with God. Finding out who i really am, not from anyone else's perspective but from God's. Who He says i am! I'm emptying it all out, all the hurt, vein things i hold on to and every piece of junk i may have gathered along this journey. I'm giving Him space to work in me without the clutter. I'm finally getting rid of the fear of being alone and learning to love my own company.
