Of all those you follow, make sure you follow Christ…

Jesus died for ‘everybody’…God’s love is offered to ‘everybody’…Who will you share Jesus sacrifice and God’s love with that in the ‘worlds’ eyes is considered a ‘nobody’? Everybody includes ‘everybody’ #EveryBody #TheNonAList #TheBSquad #TheAtRisk #TheDressedForUnsuccess #TheExcluded #TheVulnerable

During sporting events, a ‘time-out’ is called for a period of time before normal play is resumed. Some parents use a form of discipline called ‘time-out’ that halts activities for a period of time before normal activities are resumed. There is coming a time when God will call time ‘out’ and time will no longer be as we know it. Neither will it return to ‘normal’ play or ‘normal’ activities. In the twinkling of an eye. As a thief in the night. Soon and very soon, Time ‘out’ will be called. Decisions made will have been made. Actions taken will have been taken. Choices selected will have been selected. And the ultimate choice will be revealed. As the scripture compels us, “Work while it is day for the night is coming when no man shall work” #TimeOut #Decisions #Actions #Choices #LastCall

When you are left with prayer as your only option, Take it. Use it. Pray it…Prayer works. Don’t let the opportunity pass you by #Prayer #Option #DoNotPassMeBy #WhenTheOnlyOptionIsTheBestOption

‘Against my better judgment’ is a phrase used when someone does something or makes a decision that is contrary to what they are normally used to doing. When it comes to being obedient to God, we will find ourselves faced with doing something or making decisions that are (against ‘my’ better judgment). Against what makes sense to ‘me’. Be determined for God’s will to be done in and through your life. Be positioned for ‘all things working together for good’. Be ready and available to being obedient to the Spirit and Word of God causing you to move in ways that are ‘Against my better judgement’ #Obedience #GodsWay #Surrender #GodKnowsBest #GodsPurpose #GodsPlan

There are many things that have been spread and heard through the ‘grapevine’. Some true and some false. Some positive and some negative. Nevertheless, the ‘grapevine’ is a mode and method of conveying and spreading a message. Take the opportunity to spread the message of Christ in your ‘grapevine’ conversations today. Look for opportunities to somehow lift up Jesus and point others to Him. There will be those with the testimony of ‘I heard the message of Jesus Christ in church’. And there will be those with the testimony of ‘I heard it through the grapevine’. Use your ‘grapevine’ conversations to spread the good news of Jesus Christ #Grapevine #ministry #SeizeTheOpportunity #CapturedAudience

May we observe and take notes from the Sun and Moon. They tag team and work ‘together’ in fulfilling God’s purpose. And even when the one is not at the forefront, it continues to fulfill its purpose in the background. The sun is always being the sun. The moon is always being the moon. Let’s strive to do likewise. The ‘purpose’ in you is important and needed to be a part of God’s kingdom come, God’s will be done #TaggingIn #WorkingTogether #GodsPurpose #CountMeIn

There are numerous items that you buy that come with a 100% money-back guarantee. This offer says that if you are not satisfied with the item, it can be returned and you receive your money back. And there is a good chance that you have purchased an item expecting it to work but it did not live up to your expectations. God’s Word ‘is’ the guarantee and will not ‘return’ void until it has ‘accomplished’ its intended purpose. Charity (Love) never fails. Love does work every time. Now it may not necessarily meet your expectations but God’s purpose for love will be accomplished. You want to go with a sure thing today? Love, leave it in God’s hands and ‘know’ that you have won because love never fails #Love #ASureThing #Winning

Sometimes it’s the ‘angle’ when looking at something that allows us to see or not to see. When looking at our prayers, do they reveal seeking more of God’s face or God’s hand? Let us be mindful that a blessing from God cannot replace God. Let’s be determined to ‘angle’ ourselves to be like Him which will position us in a ‘right angle’ to receive from Him #Angle #Position #SeekFirstTheKingdom #AllThingsWillBeAdded

Doing ‘good’ is good as long as doing ‘good’ does not get in the way of you doing the ‘good’ that you need/should be doing. Count up the cost. Weigh the options. Look at all the cards on the table. Desire to be fruitful and not just eventful. Seek wisdom even in doing ‘good’ #Good #wisdom #Fruitful #Eventful

Family breakups can certainly be painful and the effects can last a lifetime. When Jesus returns, there will be a ‘family breakup’ of those who have been ‘saved’ by the pardoning power of God and those who have not accepted God’s pardon. And the ‘effects’ will last for eternity. If you have not already done so, receive God’s pardon today. If you have, pray for ‘family’ members to also receive God’s pardon so that one day it won’t be a family breakup but rather a family reunion #Breakup #Pardon #Reunion

Prayer changes things including ‘us’. Prayer helps us surrender our will to God’s will. Prayer helps us to take on the mind of Christ and ‘lose’ our minds. Prayer works to suppress ‘our’ ways and make room for the ways of God. Prayer helps to keep us grounded so that God can be exalted. Prayer does change things. And one of those things is ‘us’. When is the last time you prayed for God to change ‘things’? When is the last time you prayed for God to change ‘you’? God certainly desires to change things for us but He also desires to change ‘us’ into His image #Prayer #Change #MakeOver

Seeing you through somebody else. I had an early appointment to meet someone and when arriving and not seeing their car, I reached out to let them know that I had arrived. The person then responded saying they had forgotten about a drs appointment they had and would need to reschedule and had forgot to call and let me know. Frustration and condemnation towards that person started to surface partly because I had gotten up earlier than I would normally get up and get out. While sitting in my car with steam starting to rise, God quickly reminded me that just a day before, I had to reschedule an appointment with someone because I had forgotten about a drs appointment. Needless to say, my whole attitude changed and the steam started to dissipate. Be careful when condemning others as God just might allow you to see you through somebody else. Blessed are the merciful for they shall obtain mercy #mercy #ALookInTheMirror #TeachableMoments #SelfImprovement #PersonalGrowth

When losing a credit card or debit card, the frustration and distress surrounding what ‘did’ happen and what ‘could’ happen distorts our minds from even simple things like being able to backtrack your steps in an attempt to locate the card or what steps need to be taken next to prevent further lost. Being driven and consumed by frustration and distress will only work to prolong the adverse effects of that which you are faced with. Jesus said on one occasion, “These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace…”. Peace is possible in the midst (middle) of frustration and distress. On Calvary’s hill, it was the One in the middle that won out. Regardless of what you may be facing, keep Jesus in the middle of it all. He still keeps in perfect peace those whose mind is stayed on Him #peace #JesusTheCenterOfYourJoy #KeepJesusInTheMidstOfItAll #JesusPlaceIsCenterStage

Do I know you? A question that’s sometimes asked when someone does not recognize another because the person’s outward appearance has ‘changed’ significantly. If used properly, God’s Word is transformational and will cause you to change significantly. So much so that when others hear you talk or see you in action or hear others talk about you in ways that has ‘changed’ from what they knew you to be, they may be inclined to ask the question, Do I know you? Spend time with God’s Word and allow it to transform your life. Maybe not so much when it comes to outward appearance but certainly when it comes to the ‘inside’ stuff which will somehow show up on the outside. Do I know you? #Transform #Change #NewCreature #GodsWord

Be careful expecting things of the world to provide ‘out of this world’ results. They may fill you yet not be fulfilling. They may create a smile yet not erase an internal frown. They may offer you a good time yet not be able to sustain you in tough times. We must treat the things of the world for what they are: it is what it is and expect nothing more. Build your hopes on things eternal, hold to God’s unchanging hand #TryingToGetBloodFromATurnip #TryingToGetWaterFromARock #HeavenSent #DivineConnection

A built-in feature of some cell phones is that if a certain ‘impact’ is detected, a signal is automatically sent to emergency personnel indicating that you have been involved in an accident. And even if you are not able to make a ‘normal’ call, help has been notified and help is on the way. Don’t leave the scene of the accident as help will come to the ‘location’ of where you are. Life ‘accidents’ will happen. And if the truth be told, many times ‘we’ are at fault. God already knows and it’s important that we don’t ‘leave’ the scene of the ‘accident’ as God is willing and able to meet us ‘where we are’ regardless of the situation. Cry out to God. A soft cry is still a cry and God will hear your faintest cry and He will answer by and by. In crying out to God ‘where you are at’, you can be comforted in knowing that help has been notified and help is on the way #TroubleInMyWay #GodIs #PresentHelp #InTimesOfTrouble #JesusCan #JesusWill #FixIt

Trust that ‘things’ are working out for your good. Trust that ‘timing’ is working out for your good. Continue to trust God’s love and care for you when ‘scheduled programming’ is altered in real-time without ‘your’ vote. Only your surrender is needed. Continue to hold on to the fact that God knows all, sees all, understands all and can do all. And once things work out, you will see that it was for the ‘good’ and many times more than what you asked for #divine #Interruptions #GodsBestForYou #Surrender

An extension cord is used to ‘extend’ the area that is reachable by some type of electrical device. Areas that would otherwise be unreachable. How can God use you as an extension cord for the good news of Jesus Christ? What areas can you ‘extend’ into? God has certainly created, designed and equipped you to help ‘further’ the gospel. Plug in and be a part of reaching the masses. One ‘reach’ at a time #Extension #ReachingOut #Gospel
