You're Helping Yourself When You Help The Poor

Whatever promises God made in His word concerning addressing the needs of the poor, make no mistake—His plan to accomplish this will always be through us!

The evidence of the abovementioned statement is clearly expressed in Philippians 2:13, which says, "For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure." This scripture is so renewing in the sense that while we may feel the need to assist someone in a lesser position, the reality is, according to Philippians 2:13, it was God who ignited our desire to help because it is His will to assist whomever He is directing us to. Again, God will help that person as promised, but we are his feet and hands on the earth. Now, do you see it is never by accident or chance that you're motivated to assist the less fortunate? Believe me when I say to you. God is fully aware of the events concerning your life related to your future. Therefore, when he positions someone less fortunate than you in your path. He is trying to get you to invest in that person's life so that he can assist you in your future troubles, according to Psalm 41:1-3. According to God's plan, the poor unknowingly helped us despite our mission to help them. This revelation emphasizes the importance of compassion and empathy for our fellow man and obeying the still small voice of the Holy Spirit as he continues to inspire us to meet the needs of the less privileged. Please, don't you ever miss another opportunity to help the poor who unknowingly came to help you! We are the hands and feet of God on the earth to manifest his promises among each other. Psalm 72:12-13 12 For He shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and him that hath no helper. 13 He shall spare the poor and needy and shall save the souls of the underprivileged.

Transitioning Of Leadership Is Inevitable.

Pastor Myles Munroe spoke extensively about a new generation of up-and-coming leaders just before his passing. In his statement, he mentioned how many would die, and in some cases, their deaths will be unexplainable. Again, this will all be a part of the transition of ushering in God's new leaders.

I was convinced a long time ago that the generation of which Dr. Myles Munroe speaks currently exists among us. However, they've been suppressed and oppressed by those who refuse to accept that their time and purpose in leadership positions are DONE. It's time to step aside gracefully as God presents his new set of non-compromising leaders! Scripture says the following in regards to this understanding, "And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removes kings, and set up kings: he gives wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding" Daniel 2:21. I am also convinced that this statement and understanding are not limited to the religious organization but all life areas. I have witnessed some of the transitions already, and I am confident more is on the way. Some churches, businesses, and even families will not grow, advance or specific curses and backwardness will not be removed until some folks are moved out of the way. The reality is their archaic way of thinking and leading has frustrated and delayed God's will for many. In other words, many who are subject to them should have been much further than they currently are. Based on the apparent changing of the times, coupled with the audacity to stand against the establishment. I see myself as one of those emerging leaders of which Dr. Munroe spoke about being a part of the new leadership generation. Many like myself are relentless in seeing the consistent demonstration of the manifested power of God in action. We are done with the traditions, culture, nursery rhymes, seed sowing exercises that have panned out ZERO results over the years for the parishioners but excellent returns for those that lead them. Whoever you are that may be reading this post, and you feel that you are among the new emerging leaders that will come forth. The Lord has likened you to Joseph, the son of Jacob who, even though he was hurled into slavery, hated by his brothers, falsely accused of rape, imprisoned, etc. Joseph had no idea that it was during these challenges of hardship and oppression, especially by those he loved the most. He was being conditioned for the new order of leadership that he unknowingly would be catapulted to! Like Caleb and Joshua, these new leaders will have a DIFFERENT SPIRIT! Trust me when I say to you, they can only keep their foot on you for so long, in fact, just as long as God Almighty has assigned them to. Nevertheless, the day is quickly approaching where you will be catapult and advanced to where you were destined to be before the foundation of the world. God has called you to lead, and if you observe your hardship, troubles, and the way folks treated you, it was God's way of conditioning you for leadership and, in most cases showing you via the behavior of your oppressors, WHAT NOT TO BE LIKE WHEN IT IS YOUR TIME TO SHINE AND LEAD! Your most important lesson during your conditioning for your transition, my friend, is to always be conscious of the glaring facts about when your purpose is up and when it is time to step aside and pass the baton to the next generation leaders. In other words, do not die with the baton in your hand that you should have passed on a long time ago! In the coming months, we will see the emerging of more new leaders despite those who try to hold on to what has already expired for them........

Purposes Are Governed By The Laws Of Time And Seasons

Time is advancing you to what you have been praying for. Please do not allow the pressures, anxiety, and impatience of life to cause you to judge God foolishly!

Every purpose is governed by times and seasons, Eccl. 3:1. Therefore, it will make no difference how many times we ask God for a particular thing or how loud we scream for it in prayer. The law of "Time and seasons" will always facilitate its existence. All of us have an assigned amount of time to exist on earth. This is simple, and that is, times and seasons are also purpose managers.

However, before any of the things that I'm about to mention can occur, we must exist first, pretty obvious, right? This is why Eccl 3:2 starts off by saying, "There is a time to be born and a time to die." In other words, we are assigned specific times and seasons on the earth, which is from the date of birth to the time of death, to accomplish a particular purpose. However, the fulfilling of whatever that purpose is will require the following experiences that no matter what your goal may be, you will encounter and have to deal with the following:

a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;

A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;

A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;

A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;

A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;

A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;

It is a time to love, a time to hate, a time of war, and a time of peace, Eccl. 3:2-8.

Ecclesiastes 3:2-8 can also be noted as the "laws of temporary" because, in essence, it suggests that absolutely nothing exists forever. The reality of this post is very much objective to those that have recently lost a loved one. During times of (death), we quickly realize that all of us and all things will one day be referred to in the past tense. Which simply means its time of expiration has arrived.

Scripture further tells us that, "A wise man's heart discerneth both time and judgment, Eccl 8:5. Simply put, a person who understands the laws of "time and seasons" knows that along with time being assigned to everything, there is also a judgment that accompanies it. We are accountable for the time given to our purpose. This is why we are commanded to redeem the time because the days are evil, Eph5:16.

I want to say to someone, stop wasting time, and focus on doing what God has placed you on the earth to do. Please consider that grudges, bitterness, unforgiveness, and offenses are all consumers of the LIMITED time and seasons that we have. And when it's time to exit, we cannot reclaim those particular times or seasons.

I strongly suggest that we allow the written laws of Eccl 3:2-8 to remind us that everything and everyone has an expiration date and if you just observe what's going on in the world. The expiration dates of many are popping up quicker than expected.

Make no mistake, the days are quickly approaching, just like those that have gone before us. You and I will make our exit only to stand before the supreme Judge of times and seasons to account for how we managed our allotted times and seasons to fulfill His will for our lives.

Vengeance Belongs To God Not Born Again Believers

Send back to the sender prayers go directly against the following scriptures below. It is wrong to reverse a curse on another human being. It is scripturally wrong to plot evil against your human enemies. The scriptures below advise us, the children of The Most High, to bless and NOT curse, to pray and not speak evil of our enemies.

Some said God gave them permission to pray against their enemies with such scriptures as Psalm 35, 109, etc. Why would God give someone permission to go against his own laws? If God is in the business of enabling us to pray against our physical enemies. Then why should He stop there? Why not throw in there fornication, lying, adultery, etc. those that are filled with bitterness, hate and unforgiveness refuse to accept the amendment of the old law that states, "eye for an eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot" Exodus 21:24. Jesus in the new Covenant amended this former law by stating the following,

"You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’ 39 But I tell you not to resist an evil person. But whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also. 40 If anyone wants to sue you and take away your tunic, let him have your cloak also."Matthew 5:38-40. Our role in dealing with our enemies is to FORGIVE AND NOT TO SEEK REVENGE via send back to sender prayers against our human enemies.

The word Amend means to change or modify (something) for the better. So if the former law of Exodus 21:24 was changed in Matthew 5:38-40, I find it confusing that God would give someone permission to use an outdated law, especially when that outdated law was amended. Many of us use the term "God told us" when the truth is the spirits of anger, bitterness coupled with unforgiveness speaking to our unforgiving hearts. But, again, our role as Believers of Jesus Christ is to FORGIVE OUR ENEMIES, WHILE IT IS GOD'S ROLE TO DISTRIBUTE VENGEANCE UPON THEM! Yes, you have a right to be angry, disappointed, etc. But YOU DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO SEEK REVENGE ON THEM ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES!!!

Proverbs 24:17-18

Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth:

When a man's ways please the LORD, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.

If you listen carefully to what he says and do all that I say, I will be an enemy to your enemies and will oppose those who oppose you.

Bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.

Psalm 44:7

But You have saved us from our adversaries, And You have put to shame those who hate us.
