HUNGRY?

Dear Friend,

Are you hungry?

 I will not hold Myself back from you
 Yes, and the more you give to Me the more I can do in you
 You come to me with open arms
 Empty hands and I will fill them
 Yes, with treasures
 Keys to open doors in My kingdom
 Keys to unlock My children who are bound
 Keys to tons of treasures
 Keys to wisdom flowing
 I am always waiting for you to come
 Run to into my office as if you are a child of the boss
 I am never too busy
 Notice when you have entered in the past
 There is no one else in the room
 It is because I am waiting for you
 The enemy wants My children to believe I don’t’ care or that their needs are unimportant to Me
 But I am waiting for you to come
 And then I want you to sit with me
 And not just run in to throw your list of requests at Me
 If you stay long enough or come in an attitude of wanting to just sit
   with Me and enjoy Me, then I will take you to new places
 I will show you new things
 I will take you to My treasure rooms if you sit with Me
 I will take you on an adventure if you would take My hand and let Me
   lead you
 Practice, Practice, Practice coming to Me during the day
 Running to the river when you feel anger rise
 Learn how to operate from the well
 Sit and be anointed
       be washed
       be restored
       be made ready – that is why you come
 Then stand up in the well and dance in your world.
 No you are not living in unreality (the enemy told you, yare are losing touch with reality)
 This time with Me?  This is reality
 Learn how to see the spiritual realm more and more each day It will become more and more real each day

 The words to a song hit me then:
   “All who are thirsty
     All who are weak
     Come to the fountain
     Dip your heart in the streams of life
     Let the pain and the sorrow, be washed away
     In the streams of Your mercy
     As deep cries out to deep
     Come, Lord Jesus Come!”

 Come to Me and I will fill your hungry soul, says the Lord.

YOU MAY NOT REALIZE...........

This should probably be taped   to your bathroom mirror  where one  could read it every day.  You may not realize it,   but it's 100% true.    1. There are at least two people in  this world  that you would die for.    2. At least 15 people in this world   love you in some way.    3. The only reason anyone would ever  hate you  is because they want to be  just like you.  4. A smile from you  can bring happiness to anyone,  even if they don't like you.  5.  Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you   before they go to sleep.    6. You mean the world to someone.    7. You are special and unique.    8. Someone that you don't even know  exists loves you.  9. When you make  the biggest mistake ever,  something good comes from it.    10. When you think the world has   turned its back on you, take another look.    11. Always remember the compliments  you received. Forget about the rude remarks.    So......   If you are a loving friend,  send this  to everyone,  including the one that sent it to you.   If you get it back, then they really do love you...    And always  remember...... When life hands you lemons, Ask  for  Tea and Brownies  and call me over!!    Good  friends are like stars..... You don't always see them,   But you know they are always there.   'Whenever  God Closes One Door He Always Opens Another I would  rather have one rose and a kind word from a friend  while I'm here than a whole truck load when I'm gone.

LOVE

I had a lot of hatred in my life. It wasn't something outwardly manifested, but there was a kind of inward grinding. I was disgusted with people, with things, with issues. Like so many other people, I was insecure. Every time I met someone different from me, he became a threat to me.

But I hated one man more than anyone else in the world. My father. I hated his guts. To me he was the town alcoholic. If you're from a small town and one of your parents is an alcoholic, you know what I'm talking about. Everybody knows. My friends would come to high school and make jokes about my father being downtown. They didn't think it bothered me. I was like other people, laughing on the outside, but let me tell you, I was crying on the inside. I'd go out in the barn and see mother beaten so badly she couldn't get up, lying in the manure behind the cows.

When we had friends over, I would take my father out, tie him up in the barn, and park the car up around the silo. We would tell our friends he'd had to go somewhere. I don't think anyone could have hated anyone more than I hated my father.

After I made my decision for Christ -- maybe five months later -- a love from God through Jesus Christ entered my life and was so strong it took that hatred and turned it upside down. I was able to look my father squarely in the eyes and say, "Dad, I love you." And I really meant it. After some of the things I'd done, that shook him up.

When I transferred to a private university I was in a serious car accident. My neck in traction, I was taken home. I'll never forget my father coming into my room. He asked me, "Son, how can you love a father like me?" I said, "Dad, six months ago I despised you." Then I shared with him my conclusion about Jesus Christ: "Dad, I let Christ come into my life. I can't explain it completely but as a result of that relationship I've found the capacity to love and accept not only you, but other people just the way they are."

Forty-five minutes later, one of the greatest thrills of my life occurred. Somebody in my own family, someone who knew me so well I couldn't pull the wool over his eyes, said to me, "Son, if God can do in my life what I've seen Him do in yours, then I want to give Him the opportunity." Right there my father prayed with me and trusted Christ.

"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God - not by works, so that no one can boast. (Ephesians 2:8-9)

NEW

A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them. Ezekiel 36:26, 27.

The heart of man may be the abode of the Holy Spirit. The peace of Christ that passeth understanding may rest in your soul, and the transforming power of His grace may work in your life, and fit you for the courts of glory. But if brain and nerve and muscle are all employed in the service of self, you are not making God and heaven the first consideration of your life. It is impossible to be weaving the graces of Christ into your character while you are putting all your energies on the side of the world.

You may be successful in heaping up treasure on the earth, for the glory of self; but “where your treasure is, there will your heart be also” (Matthew 6:21). Eternal considerations will be made of secondary importance. You may take part in the outward forms of worship; but your service will be an abomination to the God of heaven. You cannot serve God and mammon. You will either yield your heart and put your will on the side of God, or you will give your energies to the service of the world. God will accept no half-hearted service.

“The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light” (Luke 11:34). If the eye is single, if it is directed heavenward, the light of heaven will fill the soul, and earthly things will appear insignificant and uninviting. The purpose of the heart will be changed, and the admonition of Jesus will be heeded. You will lay up your treasure in heaven. Your thoughts will be fixed upon the great rewards of eternity. All your plans will be made in reference to the future, immortal life. You will be drawn toward your treasure. You will not study your worldly interest; but in all your pursuits the silent inquiry will be “Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?” (Acts 9:6).—The Review and Herald, January 24, 1888.

BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU PRAY FOR

Dear Friend,

"And afterward they asked for a king; so God gave them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years" Acts 13:21

One of my friends said it yesterday. I had heard it before. I have said it before. "You had better be careful what you ask for (in prayer), you might get it."

Indeed, that is exactly what happened to Israel. All the other nations had kings. Israel had an old prophet. All the other countries had national leaders. Israel had a high priest. Israel asked the aging prophet for a king. They wanted to be like other nations. They wanted a figure they could look to for protection. They wanted a king. (If you remember, Moses said this time would come. He prophesied that they would want a king. He also said that king would lead them in wrong paths.)

So God gave them a king. Saul. He reigned for forty years. He was an imposing figure, head and shoulders taller than his countrymen. He was strong.  He was promoted to king of all Israel -- and he was a failure.

As time passed, Israel began to see that their king was just a man with all of man's weaknesses. He may have been strong as an ox, but he was as weak as a hollow tree in spirit. He lacked the mental strength to be a powerful leader. He became overwhelmed with his own authority -- his own ambition. And he fell. And he almost took Israel with him.

We have all been in Israel's position. We want what we want and we want it now! Not only do we want it, but we demand that God provide it. We don't want to wait for it. We don't want to pay the price for it. We don't want to save for it. We want it -- NOW! And God had better come through because if He doesn't we will do it ourselves.

And we pay the price. And that price is much higher than the cost of the thing we want. It is a spiritual price that goes far beyond a few dollars. It saps the soul of strength. It drains the spirit of energy. It taps the resources we have reserved for God's mission, and we suffer for it. We are in pain. We are weakened. Because of our weakness, others begin to suffer with us. We no longer have the spiritual fortitude to help our brother or our sister. Instead we are pulling from them the strength they need for their own battles.

A downward spiral has begun. The trail of smoke can be seen for miles around. Doom and defeat seem eminent. But wait. Inside that hulk of a dying body is a pilot -- no, The Pilot. He has not bailed out yet. He has not given up the ship. He is pulling. He is fighting the battle for us. And He has the strength to pull us out of that fatal nosedive we have forced upon ourselves. At the last moment, the flaming hulk of our life is saved and set on a path to recovery. Not because of our strength, but because of the authority of the One who knows how to save the dying.

Israel had his David. We have our Jesus. Both are redeemers. David saved a dying nation. Jesus saves a dying World. Behold, your redemption draws near. Hallelujah, Amen and Amen.

PERSEVERANCE

If someone were to ask me to pick one word to best describe any success in  life....

I wouldn't hesitate; the word would be perseverance.

There have been a lot of potholes, detours and roadblocks along the way. 

Persist no matter what.

Endure discomfort.

Request help.

Steadfastly hold on to your beliefs and values.

Envision triumph.

Very consistently keep at it.

Embrace adversity as your teacher.

Refuse to give up.

Enjoy and celebrate every tiny bit of progress!

The Best Way Out is Always Through. 

BE CAREFUL LITTLE TONGUE

It's strange isn't it, how things occasionally just "slip out of our mouths."  We really never meant to say whatever we said, but sometimes we do. 


For me, most often I find it hard to keep my mouth shut when someone is sharing their problems of present difficulty with me. It's natural (I think), to want to commiserate with them, to share with them and let them

 know that you have experienced similar things in your life.


Most of the time though; what they really need is just a listening ear on which to unburden themselves.

 We have the same problem when someone mentions another person, far too often in a negative way. We are tempted to "join in" and add our personal

 comments regarding that person or persons. At times we may even be the one who is in the forefront of the discussion.

 At other times, we may be speaking directly to someone and either on purpose or inadvertently say something hurtful or mean. Once it is said, it's impossible to take it back.

 One author wrote: "My grandson, Justus, age 10, and his sister Taylor, age 13, were always teasing each other. One day, Justus was getting "sensitive" about things his sister was saying to him. I reminded him that he had said the same types of things many times in days past. With quiet

 reflection, he spoke a gospel truth: "But it doesn't hurt as much coming out of my mouth as it does going into my ears."

 There is a children's song that says, "Be careful little tongue what you say… the Father up above is looking down in love, so be careful little tongue what you say!

 James puts it this way in James 1:26, "If you claim to be religious but don’t control your tongue, you are fooling yourself, and your religion is

 worthless." (NLT)

 There are times I mess up and say the wrong thing, even though I try very hard not to. Thankfully my wife is very forgiving, but I am even more

 thankful to my God that he is even more forgiving! How are you doing?

Kabla ya kutuma habari hii nilisali, Nilisali kwa ajili yenu. Je una dakika moja? sekunde 60 kwa ajili ya Mungu?
Cha kufanya ni kusali sala ndogo kwa mtu aliyekutumia ujumbe huu.........

"Baba Mungu mpe baraka rafiki yangu kwa chochote ukijuacho 
kuwa yeye anakihitaji siku ya leo! 
Na Maisha yake yajae Amani yako, 
mafanikio na nguvu kama anavyohitaji kuwa karibu na wewe. 
Amina" 

Kisha tuma kwa watu 10 wengine. Ndani ya saa utakuwa umeombewa na watu 10 wengine,
Utakuwa umesababisha watu wengi kuombea wenzao kwa Mungu.
Kisha subiria na uone NGUVU ya MUNGU ikifanya kazi kwenye maisha yako... 
Mambo yawapo Magumu, siku zote kumbuka....
Imani haikuzungushi kwenye matatizo, isipokuwa hukusaidia kuyavuka matatizo!!


Mungu Awabariki.

 Not long ago I heard a story about a young man and an old preacher. The young man had lost his job and didn't know which way to turn. So he went to see the old preacher.

 Pacing about the preacher's study, the young man ranted about his problem. Finally he clenched his fist and shouted, "I've begged God to say something to help me, preacher, why doesn't God answer?"

 The old preacher, who sat across the room, spoke something in reply, something so hushed it was indistinguishable. The young man stepped across

 the room. "What did you say?" he asked. The preacher repeated himself, but again in a tone as soft as a whisper. So the young man moved closer until he was leaning on the preacher's chair.

 "Sorry," he said. "I still didn't hear you." With their heads bent together, the old preacher spoke once more. "God sometimes whispers," he said, "So we will move closer to hear him." This time the young man heard and he understood.

 We all want God's voice to thunder through the air with the answer to our problem. But God's is the still; small voice... the gentle whisper. Perhaps there's a reason.

 Nothing draws human focus quite like a whisper. God's whisper means I must stop my ranting and move close to Him, until my head is bent together with His. And then, as I listen, I will find my answer.  Better still, I find

 myself closer to God. And there is no better place to be....... Amen?

ALPHABETS

 Think about this:

  

  Although things are not perfect

  Because of trial or pain

  Continue in thanksgiving

  Do not begin to blame

  Even when the times are hard

  Fierce winds are bound to blow

  God is forever able

  Hold on to what you know

  Imagine life without His love

  Joy would cease to be

  Keep thanking Him for all the things

  Love imparts to thee

  Move out of "Camp Complaining"

  No weapon that is known

  On earth can yield the power

  Praise can do alone

  Quit looking at the future

  Redeem the time at hand

  Start every day with prayer

  To "thank" is a command

  Until we see Him coming

  Victorious in the sky

  We'll run the race with gratitude

  X-alting God most high

  Yes, there'll be good times and yes some   will be bad, but...

  Zion waits in glory...where none are ever sad!

  

  The shortest distance between a problem and a solution is

     the distance between your knees and the floor.

  The one who kneels to the Lord can stand up to anything.

LOVE 'EM

Whenever you did one of these things to someone overlooked or ignored, that was me—you did it to me.

—Matthew 25:40 (MSG)

There are many reasons to help people in need.

“Benevolence is good for the world.” “We all float on the same ocean. When the tide rises, it benefits everyone.”

“To deliver someone from poverty is to unleash that person’s potential as a researcher, educator, or doctor.” “As we reduce poverty and disease, we reduce war and atrocities. Healthy, happy people don’t hurt each other.”

Compassion has a dozen advocates.

But for the Christian, none is higher than this: when we love those in need, we are loving Jesus. It is a mystery beyond science, a truth beyond statistics. But it is a message that Jesus made crystal clear: when we love them, we love him.

This is the theme of his final sermon. 

The message he saved until last. He must want this point imprinted on our conscience. He depicted the final judgment scene. The last day, the great Day of Judgment. On that day Jesus will issue an irresistible command. All will come. From sunken ships and forgotten cemeteries, they will come. From royal tombs and grassy battlefields, they will come. From Abel, the first to die, to the person being buried at the moment Jesus calls, every human in history will be present.

All the angels will be present. The whole heavenly universe will witness the event. A staggering denouement. Jesus at some point will “separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats” (Matt. 25:32). Shepherds do this. They walk among the flock and, one by one, with the use of a staff direct goats in one direction and sheep in the other. Graphic, this thought of the Good Shepherd stepping through the flock of humanity. You. Me. Our parents and kids. “Max, go this way.” “Mpoki, over there.” “Kajole, this side.”

How can one envision this moment without the sudden appearance of this urgent question: What determines his choice? How does Jesus separate the people?

Jesus gives the answer. Those on the right, the sheep, will be those who fed him when he was hungry, brought him water when he was thirsty, gave him lodging when he was lonely, clothing when he was naked, and comfort when he was sick or imprisoned. The sign of the saved is their concern for those in need. Compassion does not save them—or us. Salvation is the work of Christ. Compassion is the consequence of salvation.

The sheep will react with a sincere question: when? When did we feed, visit, clothe, or comfort you (vv. 34–39)?

Jesus will recount, one by one, all the acts of kindness. Every deed done to improve the lot of another person. Even the small ones. In fact, they all seem small. Giving water. Offering food. Sharing clothing. The works of mercy are simple deeds. And yet, in these simple deeds we serve Jesus. Astounding this truth: we serve Christ by serving needy people.

Some of them live in your neighborhood; others live in jungles you can’t find and have names you can’t pronounce. Some of them play in cardboard slums or sell sex on a busy street. Some of them walk three hours for water or wait all day for a shot of penicillin. Some of them brought their woes on themselves, and others inherited the mess from their parents.

None of us can help everyone. But all of us can help someone. 

And when we help them, we serve Jesus. Who would want to miss a chance to do that?

Then the King will say to those on his right, “Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the creation of the world. For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home. I was naked, and you gave me clothing. I was sick, and you cared for me. I was in prison, and you visited me.”

(Matthew 25:34–36 NLT)

O Lord, where did I see you yesterday . . . and didn’t recognize you? Where will I encounter you today . . . and fail to identify you properly? O my Father, give me eyes to see, a heart to respond, and hands and feet to serve you wherever you encounter me! Transform me, Lord, by your Spirit into a servant of Christ, who delights to meet the needs of those around me. 

Make me a billboard of your grace, a living advertisement for the riches of your compassion. I long to hear you say to me one day, “Well done, good and faithful servant.” And I pray that today I would be that faithful servant who does well at doing good. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.

GOLIATH

Good day Friend,

Goliaths still roam our world. Debt. Disaster. Dialysis. Danger. Deceit. Disease. Depression. Super-size challenges still swagger and strut, still pilfer sleep and embezzle peace and liposuction joy. But they can’t dominate you. You know how to deal with them. You face giants by facing God first.

Focus on giants—you stumble.

Focus on God—your giants tumble.

You know what David knew, and you do what David did. You pick up five stones, and you make five decisions. Ever wonder why David took five stones into battle? Why not two or twenty? Rereading his story reveals five answers. Use your five fingers to remind you of the five stones you need to face down your Goliath. Let your thumb remind you of …

1. THE STONE OF THE PAST

Goliath jogged David’s memory. Elah was a déjà vu. While everyone else quivered, David remembered. God had given him strength to wrestle a lion and strong-arm a bear. Wouldn’t he do the same with the giant? A good memory makes heroes.

“Remember His marvelous works which He has done” (1 Chron. 16:12). Catalog God’s successes. Keep a list of his world records. Has he not walked you through high waters? Proven to be faithful? Have you not known his provision? How many nights have you gone to bed hungry? Mornings awakened in the cold? He has made roadkill out of your enemies. Write today’s worries in sand. Chisel yesterday’s victories in stone. Pick up the stone of the past. Then select …

2. THE STONE OF PRAYER

Note the valley between your thumb and finger. To pass from one to the next you must go through it. Let it remind you of David’s descent. Before going high, David went low; before ascending to fight, David descended to prepare. Don’t face your giant without first doing the same. Dedicate time to prayer. Paul, the apostle, wrote, “Prayer is essential in this ongoing warfare. Pray hard and long” (Eph. 6:18 MSG).

Prayer spawned David’s successes. His Brook Besor wisdom grew out of the moment he “strengthened himself in the Lord his God” (1 Sam. 30:6). When Saul’s soldiers tried to capture him, David turned toward God: “You have been my defense and refuge in the day of my trouble” (Ps. 59:16).

Invite God’s help. Pick up the stone of prayer. And don’t neglect …

3. THE STONE OF PRIORITY

Let your tallest finger remind you of your highest priority: God’s reputation. David jealously guarded it. No one was going to defame his Lord. David fought so that “all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel. Then all this assembly shall know that the Lord does not save with sword and spear; for the battle is the Lord’s” (1 Sam. 17:46–47).

David saw Goliath as a chance for God to show off! Did David know he would exit the battle alive? No. But he was willing to give his life for the reputation of God.

What if you saw your giant in the same manner? Rather than begrudge him, welcome him. Your cancer is God’s chance to flex his healing muscles. Your sin is God’s opportunity to showcase grace. Your struggling marriage can billboard God’s power. See your struggle as God’s canvas. On it he will paint his multicolored supremacy. Announce God’s name and then reach for …

4. THE STONE OF PASSION 

David ran, not away from, but toward his giant. On one side of the battlefield, Saul and his cowardly army gulped. On the other, Goliath and his skull-splitters scoffed. In the middle, the shepherd boy ran on his spindly legs. Who bet on David? Who put money on the kid from Bethlehem? Not the Philistines. Not the Hebrews. Not David’s siblings or David’s king. But God did.

And since God did, and since David knew God did, the skinny runt became a blur of pumping knees and a swirling sling. He ran toward his giant.

Do the same!

Let your ring finger remind you to take up the stone of passion.

One more stone, and finger, remains:

5. THE STONE OF PERSISTENCE

David didn’t think one rock would do. He knew Goliath had four behemoth relatives. For all David knew, they’d come running over the hill to defend their kin. David was ready to empty the chamber if that’s what it took.

Imitate him. Never give up. One prayer might not be enough. One apology might not do it. One day or month of resolve might not suffice. You may get knocked down a time or two … but don’t quit. Keep loading the rocks. Keep swinging the sling.

Next time Goliath wakes you up, reach for a stone. Odds are, he’ll be out of the room before you can load your sling

LOVING SOMEONE

A boy was born to a couple after eleven years of marriage. They were a loving couple and the boy was the apple of their eyes.

 When the boy was around two years old, one morning the husband saw a medicine bottle open. He was late for work so he asked the wife to cap the bottle and keep it in the cupboard. The mother, preoccupied in the kitchen, totally forgot the matter.

 The boy saw the bottle and playfully went to the bottle and, fascinated with its color, drank it all. It happened to be a poisonous medicine meant for adults in small dosages. When the child collapsed, the mother hurried him to the hospital, where he died. The mother was stunned. She was

 terrified how to face her husband.

 When the distraught father came to the hospital and saw the dead child, he looked at his wife and uttered just four words.

What do you think were the four words???

The husband just said "I Love You Darling"

 The husband's totally unexpected reaction is proactive behavior. The child is dead. He can never be brought back to life. There is no point in finding fault with the mother.

 Besides, if only he had taken time to keep the bottle away, this would not have happened. No point in attaching blame. She had also lost her only child. What she needed at that moment was consolation and sympathy from the husband. That is what he gave her.

 Sometimes we spend so much time asking who is responsible or who is to blame, whether in a relationship, in a job or with the people we know. that we miss out some warmth in human relationship in giving each other support. After all, shouldn't forgiving someone we love be the easiest

 thing in the world to do? Treasure what you have. Don't multiply pain, anguish and suffering by holding on to unforgiveness.

 If everyone can look at life with this kind of perspective, there would be much fewer problems in the world.

 Take off all your envies, jealousies, unwillingness to forgive, selfishness, and fears and you will find things are actually not as difficult as you think.

 THINK..... "Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that."

 REMEMBER..... Caring should be in the Heart and not in Words. Anger should be in Words and not in the Heart.
