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.

Transition requires change, facilitated by frustration

I can vividly recall years ago. I was at my lowest. It seems as if whatever could go wrong in my life was doing just that, going wrong? It was almost as if my enemies were standing in line, just waiting for their opportunity to take a shot at me.

As you might imagine, frustration was the order of the day for me. For those of you that haven't experienced it as yet. Prolonged frustration will eventually manifest into severe emotional pain combined with deep-rooted bitterness if not observed from a positive perspective.

The most challenging part of my experience with frustration wasn't so much that my enemies were relentless in their attacks against me. Instead, it was my repeated cries to God that seem to fall on deaf ears. Additionally, I knew deep within my spirit that I should have been much further in my life than I was at that time. The best way I can explain it is, it was like I was in a prison cell with a perfect display of all the beautiful things I wanted to do and achieve in life. However, due to the visible and invisible restrictions and limitations I was unable to break free to participate in what I knew was a better quality of life seemingly impatiently waiting on me.

To make matters worse, my life seems to be programmed to repeat the same cycle of fruitlessness, not to mention the myriad of friends who were quick to give their version of my ongoing saga. In spite of all that I have mentioned. I was completely unaware that I was in TRANSITION for better! The reality is, it should not matter if God responds to our cries or not if our TRUST is unconditionally embedded in him. After all, He knows the end of all beginnings, which is also inclusive of our transitions.

The word transition is defined as a "change" from one state or place to another. However, during the tenure of that transition more than likely your life will be turned upside down with zero sign of human or spiritual help. The reason for this as I have discovered is that "CHANGE" is the only required component for a transition. In other words, there can be no transition outside of the act of change to the person being transitioned. The purpose of this required change will almost always be initiated and administered by FRUSTRATION! It is through the process of frustration that you become so fed up with the same old fruitless non-producing routine of people, places, and things that then and only then you embrace the change that is required to transition you to your next, which you probably would have dismissed under normal circumstances.

So the reality is, your life is currently turned upside down by the process of frustration to provoke the necessary changes in you to assist with your transition for better. God had to transition me in just about every area of my life, and in retrospect, my way of thinking and behaving back then would certainly be my greatest enemy today. In fact, if I maintained my resistance to the changes provoked by frustration back then, I would be a complete failure today. So, why not look at your frustrations as God nudging you on the shoulder and gently whispering in your ear saying, "Prepare for a change in your everyday life because I am about to take you to another level."

"Embrace the change for your transition that will be administered by frustration."

What you're doing now will tell on you later

While it may seem as if absolutely nothing is happening for you and it seems as if it's business as usual. Know for sure that the same God that has promised his children that "ALL THINGS" must work for their good, is silently working behind the scenes ensuring that all things will do just that and that is, work for your good!

While you may not appreciate it now, in short order, you will be thanking God for this commonly used word called, "SEASONS." That's right, those that are opposing you and continually being unfair to you. This is indeed their season, and what they're doing now will determine what will be done to them in the future! But make no mistake as sure as night follows day your season of restoration and uninterrupted favor is on the horizon quickly approaching as long as you continue to do what is right in your current season of what appears to be fruitlessness.

While others may only focus on seasons as a time of flourishing, it is really a time of planting what you desire now to ensure the kind of harvest or reaping you would want during your future seasons.

In other words, even though this is not your season of plenty, fairness from others, opportunities, etc. this should not discourage you from continuing to plant the seeds of being fair to others, giving, forgiving, helping, etc. Again, it will be what you're planting in your everyday life now that will determine the outcome of what your destiny will pan out later.

So don't act surprised when things begin to fall apart, and all doors are sealed shut in your life with zero evidence of opening in your next season. The truth is you knew good and well that you made life difficult for others, blocked their opportunities, and sat on their destiny when you were in a position to advance them.

I want to say to someone today. While you may be experiencing your season of occupying the chair where you make the decisions as to whether a person will advance or not. Know for sure that you are at the same time determining your own future by the seeds of hate, unfairness, Victimization or even fairness, justice, and promoting others now.

Every seasons' primary purpose is to prepare us for the next season. However, we are determining right now what those future seasons will produce based on our performance towards others in the current seasons we're in. Again, God is not mocked, whatever a man does now be it good or bad, he will reap of the right or wrong he's planted now, in the future, Galatians 6:7. This is not an opinion, THIS IS A LAW!

Knocked Down But Not Knocked Out

It is disappointing for the adversary to witness you rising back up after a setback.

Yes, you've been knocked down, but you must discontinue in your own strength and speak to your spirit, saying, "Greater is he that is within me than he that is in the world." "Father, I can do everything through you who strengthens and enables me." "Lord, you are my help in the time of trouble."

Why have you succumbed to defeat when there are so many scriptures to empower your spirit, man? Your enemy has given his best shots. Now it's your time to get back in the ring of life and fight as if your life depended on it. Only this time, your strategy will be struggling with the word of God!

Father, restore my mind and cause me to focus on your word in my attempts today to achieve victory over the obstacles posted in my path. Elevate me spiritually to see beyond my temporary circumstances. Assist me in guiding my tongue to avoid complaining and begin speaking what I desire to see instead of agreeing through my confessions of the negative things displayed before me.

Lord, enable me to possess the power and the mindset like your servant Job, who continued to worship and praise you despite everything going in the opposite direction of his desires.

THIS DAY. I WILL ARISE; THIS DAY, I WILL SPRING FORWARD; THIS DAY, I WILL AWAKE FROM MY SLUMBER; THIS DAY, I WILL BREAK LOOSE FROM THE CHAINS OF PROCRASTINATION AND LAZINESS, ALONG WITH THAT NEGATIVE PATTERN OF THINKING. I will achieve all this by the grace, mercy, favor, strength, and Spirit of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen!

God's Ordained Positions Is Where You'll Find Your Provisions

Position: a condition concerning place, location, or situation. Particularly relating to favorable or unfavorable circumstances.

The favor of God that sets you apart is based on the instructions you follow regarding your current and future positions. After God instructed Elijah to declare a famine over the land, He also directed Elijah that his next position would include his provision during the famine, as recorded in 2 Kings 17:1-5.

Provision is defined as an arrangement or preparation beforehand for the doing of something, the meeting of needs, the supplying of means, etc.

Today, I would like to share some good news with you. God's favor is upon your life, and as a result, provision has been made for that complex, stubborn, and seemingly impossible situation you find yourself in. However, it is important to follow God's instructions to fully participate in this provision and occupy the position assigned to you.

To refresh your memory, even though God instructed Elijah to declare a famine, it did not excuse him from participating. However, God told Elijah to go to the brook Cherith, where he would find his provisions waiting for him. It's important to note that Elijah could accept or reject these crucial instructions. Before we move forward, please say to God, "Lord, please provide me with detailed instructions to my assigned positions where my provisions await me, in the mighty name of Jesus!"

"And it shall be, that thou shall drink of the brook; and I (God) have COMMANDED the Ravens to feed thee THERE!, 2 Kings 17:4.

My friend, hear me as I speak to your spirit this morning, GOD ALMIGHTY HAS ALREADY MADE PROVISION FOR YOUR PRESENT CONDITION, BUT IT'S LOCATED AT YOUR FUTURE POSITION!

"Your priority now should be seeking God's instruction for your next position. Ask Him to guide you towards the right place, location, people, or environment to proceed to. Many of you may struggle unnecessarily because you are in the wrong position waiting on God's provisions."

"Trust in the Lord with all thine heart, and lean not unto thine own understanding. In ALL thy ways, ACKNOWLEDGE him; as a result, He SHALL DIRECT THY PATHS! Proverbs 3:5-6.

YOUR DIVINE POSITION HAS INCLUSIVE OF IT YOUR PROVISION THAT WAS MADE IN ADVANCE OF YOUR PRESENT DISLIKE CONDITION...................

Living in the spirit will require walking by faith

The Believers of Jesus Christ who live by sight, meaning they're limited to interpreting their five senses as it relates to our natural world, will permanently be restricted if not stagnated in their spiritual walk.

As Believers in Jesus Christ, we are commanded to walk by faith and NOT by sight. In other words, as members of the body of Christ, we directly violate this spiritual law stated in 2 Corinthians 5:7 when we judge or even assess matters from a superficial or physical perspective.

As a body of Believers, our acceptance of Jesus Christ and his works on the cross has to transition us from mere natural men and women (being limited by our five senses) to receiving the Spirit of God, whose purpose is to elevate us to greater spiritual understanding along with limitless spiritual experiences.

Therefore, if the Believer does not see him or herself as a new spiritual creation with the Spirit of God dwelling within them, then more than likely, they will automatically revert to their usual natural way of living, of course, which is limited to their five senses which are governed by fear.

Walking by faith means walking or behaving according to the Holy Bible's laws, principles, rules, and protocols! In doing so, you are positioning yourself to live, walk and even behave in a manner that must exceed your natural human limitations. Moreover, you are also in a better position to receive the things of the spirit. According to scripture, the natural man, in his attempt to obtain the things of the spirit, will always conclude the things of the spirit as foolishness simply because such things are spiritually discerned. On the other hand, the Believers of Jesus Christ, who have been spiritually regenerated, will always see things from their origin no matter how it is presented. The source of all things is spiritually rooted, and it will always be the process of comparing spiritual things with something of a spiritual nature that will unveil the mysteries of our natural problems.

Thus, the following scripture, "13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

14 But the natural man receiveth, not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he is judged of no man. 1 Corinthians 2:13-15

Live according to the scriptures if you intend to live beyond your limited and restricted human limitations.

Someone's being setup for the good that's coming their way!

  In order to understand what will be good for you in the future or to possess the ability to even recognize good when it comes, you MUST go through a period of just the opposite of what you're anticipating in terms of things that are good.

As human being our ability to determine what is good will, always rest in the understanding of comparing whatever it is that we're labeling as good to what is bad. For example if you were to say to me that you have a good man in your life, then based on the laws of life this automatically suggest to me that you've had a bad man before.

I want to point out to someone this morning that the bad that's happening or going on in your life right now if viewed from a positive perspective, it is a gentle head's up to you, that not only will you experience good in the future but what you're going through currently is necessary for you to understand, recognize and decipher what that good is when it comes!

The reality is your situation can not go on forever. In fact the laws of life will not allow it to, because like the law of temporary dictates, there is a "TIME AND SEASON" for "EVERYTHING", Eccl. 3:1.

Therefore, because every situation, feeling, event, matter etc. is temporary we can fairly conclude that its purpose is conditioning us for something else. Those that find themselves repeating temporary matters is a clear sign that they're spending time murmuring and complaining instead of learning to move on to their NEXT!

My words of wisdom for this wonderful spirit filled morning is simply this, those that murmur and complain will always make what was supposed to be a temporary situation feel like FOREVER!

Mountains are moving, walls are falling

Mountains are moving, and walls are falling in the realm of the spirit. The Lord and God of all hope is making clear your spiritual path for the manifestation of your much-awaited release and victory in the natural.

School fees will be met! Lending institution loans will be satisfied! Families will be brought back together! Things that were either lost or stolen will be restored and replaced! Resources will not only be restored but also maintained all because of what is going on spiritually. "Thou shall arise and have mercy upon Zion (God's people): for the time to FAVOR her, yea the SET TIME is come" Psalm 102:13.

Gideon was sore afraid because he knew it was not humanly possible to defeat the Midianites, the Amalekites, and the heathen armies of the east that had joined forces against Israel with his 300 men God insisted he goes to war with. Gideon was unaware of the simple fact that the spiritual components and agents in this war had already been addressed spiritually. Thus, God made the following statement to Gideon before engaging in the PHYSICAL battle between Gideon's army and the armies of his enemies.

God made it clear to Gideon, "Arise and go down to the Enemy's camp; for I have DELIVERED them into your hands, Judges 7:9. The word delivered speaks to or suggests something or an event that has already happened. With that said. Then how was it possible for God to tell Gideon that he'd already delivered Gideon's enemies into his hands (won the war) when the reality is Mr. Gideon and his 300 men had yet to launch an attack against his enemies?

Well, this is just another clear biblical example of the spiritual law of Ephesians 6:12, meaning our real battles and issues must be addressed from the spirit realm as opposed to making the center of our fight between flesh and blood (human beings). In other words, the spiritual battle between Gideon's army and his enemies had already been won in the spiritual realm, even though they had yet to physically engage in war. Nevertheless,  the results of what God did in the unseen world/spirit world automatically secured Gideon's victory in the physical realm (our natural world).

I am saying to someone this morning that have spiritual ears to hear and spiritual eyes to see beyond their overwhelming misleading circumstances that God has removed the spiritual stumbling blocks, walls, mountains, and all spiritual impediments to secure you nonstop victories in the natural!

As a reminder, absolutely nothing happens physically unless it was conceived or manufactured spiritually first! The mystery behind you repeatedly going around the same issue was due to spiritual blockages you were unaware of that prevented physical manifestation!

Come in agreement with what God has already done. In other words, stop repeating your prayers. Instead, begin thanking God, who has removed the spiritual impediments for answering your prayers in the name of His Son, Jesus Christ!

Father, I thank you that the mortgage is paid, the school fees are paid, and the resources are endlessly flowing in like never before. Thank you, Lord, that relationships have been restored and all losses and missed opportunities have been reinstated, ALL BECAUSE OF WHAT YOU'VE DONE IN THE REALM OF THE SPIRIT JUST FOR ME, IN THE MIGHTY AND MATCHLESS NAME OF JESUS CHRIST AMEN!

Persistence Is Key

The critical factor that sets winners apart from losers is Persistence. Persistence, derived from the word "persist," means to endure and continue in the face of opposition, obstacles, or discouragement.

Some agents of Satan have been well-trained to persistently attack believers of Jesus Christ. They are skilled in using distraction, fear, and worry tactics to keep believers away from God's Word or anything related to God. Again, the main component of their strategy is Persistence.

The average Christian has yet to understand the importance of being constant, relentless, and Persistent in prayer, speaking the Word of God, declaring it, believing it, and never ever taking their focus off the spiritual war they are constantly involved in.

Can you imagine being a part of a church where the Pastor holds regular meetings, not to bamboozle you out of your money? Instead, places emphasis on being persistent in encouraging one another, expressing the Christ kind of love to each other, etc.

Can you envision a Pastor assembling a team of mighty prayer warriors to embark on a three-day fast to combat terminal illnesses? During the fast, one group member continuously recites scriptures concerning healing and restoration. Can you imagine the impact and outcomes this could yield?

Look! How long will you accept defeat and non-success as your portion in life? How long will you sit in that building Sunday after Sunday where no one is healed or delivered, and no one seems to be able to get their life together? How long will you sit and hear the same old, such as "God is getting ready to do so and so" or "There is a shift in the atmosphere." Still, there are no scriptures or spiritual strategies to accommodate what God is about to do or what you do to accommodate what God desires.

Oh, I apologize for almost forgetting the spiritual expressions they use to describe their spiritual approach, such as "Nothing leaves God's hands until something leaves your hand" or "The seed that leaves your hand never leaves your life."

Understanding the significance of maintaining consistency and Persistence in our prayers is crucial. It is not just any prayer that matters but incorporates the relevant scriptures that align with our beliefs about what we ask God for. As the Bible states, we are called to remind God of His promises. Unfortunately, we often lose the battle against evil forces due to our lack of endurance. Satan and his followers know this and take advantage of it.

I'm unsure whose spirit I'm addressing, but you must surround yourself with people in a church who prioritize God and His Word. Look for a church that will guide you in finding victory through the Word rather than material possessions. It doesn't matter how long your family has been committed to a particular church. Break tradition and ask God to lead you to a place where His spirit is present.

I implore you not to fall into the same trap as others who believed the Preacher's proclamation, "God is getting ready to do something," but he never gets around to doing it. The freedom God has already granted us is waiting for us to take hold of it. All we need to do is break tradition and adopt the proper protocols to attain the fulfilled life God has in store.

YOU HAVE CIRCLED THIS MOUNTAIN LONG ENOUGH; IT'S TIME TO BREAK TRADITION AND BEGIN O PARTICIPATE IN TRUE FREEDOM!

What's preventing you from achieving the next level

In spite of the infinite power of God, he is still a God that respects covenants. Many of us are not at the place God had intended for us to be at this point in our lives simply because some known or unknown evil covenant, vow, pledge or allegiance is in place that's preventing the next elevation in our lives.

In Judges 6, the nation of Israel were in a state of backwardness and confusion and could not understand why they could not advance in their own land. They were lost as to why God would allowed their enemies to rule over them. One would think that if God is all powerful, then why didn't he act on his people's behalf.

Maybe you're asking the same questions right now, when and why haven't God made his move on your behalf as yet. Well, in this same Judges 6 it is revealed that Gideon was advised to visit his Father's house. It was at that time, that it was discovered that Gideon's father had an altar worshiping and making sacrifices and covenants to demonic gods. This act which constituted evil covenants became the reason for the spiritual barriers that prevented the entire nation of Israel from being at where they should have been at that point in their lives....... Mighty God! Who are you messing around with, that because of what they're involved with and your connection with them it's preventing you from going forward?

Just like in the case of Israel, who could it be in your family, your life or your environment that is engage in things specifically witchcraft and the like that has caused spiritual barriers in your life thus, the anti-progress and the inability for you to be at where you should have been at this stage of your life.

Heavenly father, enough is enough! Lord we ask you to uproot and expose the evil seeds of our environment, associations, our ancestors and even our living generations that have defiled your commandments, especially that of Idolatry that your word clearly reveals is responsible for generational curses. Lord, this day we ask forgiveness for the violation of your laws and believe that the curses in particular GENERATIONAL CURSES are broken in this day in Jesus mighty name. Amen!

This is happening for your GOOD!

Stop worrying! God has put people and things in place prior to you even knowing that you would
have encountered this situation.

The word of the Lord to someone today that is overly concerned about a situation, to the point where your concern is suppressing your faith; please remember and place your confidence in the word of the living God!

"Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus" 1 Thessalonians 5:18. What seem to be a setback is literally working in your favor. In fact you can not achieve what it is that you desire without this specific ingredient (setback).

As a reminder, Joseph could not achieve the promotion of being second in  charge of Egypt if his brothers were not jealous of him and sold him into slavery. Jesus could not experience the cross outside of Judas' betrayal. Abraham, could not be known today as the Father of faith, had he not leave his comfort zone and go to a place that he didn't even know existed.

Hear me today! Praise God in the  midst of what is seemingly unfair, disappointing, depressing, discouraging and degrading........ But make no mistake, these ingredients are A MUST if it is your desire to ADVANCE!

This is working together for your Good in the mighty name of Jesus the Christ!
