Word of the Day (3-9-12)

Good Morning Everyone

The word of the day comes a little different today.

I honestly wasn’t going to do a WOTD today because yesterday I didn’t feel up to it in my body. I was sick from about 12pm yesterday afternoon until. I had stomach pain, my mouth was salivating and I just wanted to throw up all day. I normally try to prepare the word at night and didn’t so I was going to leave it alone but I just feel in my spirit a quick word of encouragement for someone. My Bishop Charles H. Doom Jr. has been talking about a SUDDENLY break through happening in your life. That God has not forgotten when you showed up to church when you really didn’t want to nor was feeling it. When you gave and you really didn’t have to give at all. When you went to visit, to encourage, to help someone and in your mind you were thinking I really need someone to do this for me because I’m hurting, I’m in pain, I feel like giving up, etc. It just seems like everything is going opposite of what you would want. GOD HAS NOT FORGOTTEN YOU. He hears your cry, He sees your tears, He is WORKING OUT YOUR SUDDENLY…

Word of the Day (2-21-12)

Good Morning Everyone

Today is Tuesday February 21, 2012

The word of the day comes from Lamentations 3:17-24

17I cannot find peace or remember happiness.18I tell myself, "I am
finished! I can't count on the LORD to do anything for me." 19Just
thinking of my troubles and my lonely wandering makes me miserable.
20That's all I ever think about, and I am depressed.21Then I remember
something that fills me with hope. 22The LORD's kindness never fails!
If he had not been merciful, we would have been destroyed. 23The LORD
can always be trusted to show mercy each morning. 24Deep in my heart I
say, "The LORD is all I need; I can depend on him!"

Word of the Day (12-22-11)

Good Morning Everyone

Today is Thursday December 22, 2011

The word of the day comes a little different today. Although I acknowledge the holidays sometimes through the word, I can’t recall ever really saying to have a safe holiday. Today I simply want to say that a great part of my Christmas has been the favor God has shown me to touch so many lives, especially through the Word of the Day (WOTD). To look past me, my faults, my failures, my shortcomings and say that I can STILL be used for His good purpose is remarkable. I know me and to think that God so loves me…matter fact to all of us is well…Incredible. I truly hope you get whatever you wanted under the tree but I pray more so than just gifts that you have a special encounter with God, that I have a special encounter with God that changes our lives permanently forever. That before the New Year changes we aren’t worried about New Year’s resolutions because our heart has had a greater change toward the things of God that we refuse to go backwards. Enjoy your family, enjoy your friends, enjoy your sports J but mostly importantly, enjoy the Lord and Savior who could’ve stayed in heaven with the Father and left us to sort out our own sins and let us die in our sins but He told the Father I love them too much, I have to do something, I will be their sacrifice, I will come from a heavenly place and put on human form and enter the world in a dingy, stinky manger with no recognition and I will only use my deity to help someone else. I love them they are worth it to Me…thank you JESUS.

Have a Merry Christmas everyone. I have a lot to do today before I head to NY J so I am almost certain this will be the last word received until next week/next year...we’ll see. Once again love you all much, have a great time and travel safely this season.  

Have a wonderful, blessed, productive, stress free day!

Word of the Day (9-9-11)

Good Morning Everyone

Today is Friday September 9, 2011

The word of the day comes from Psalm 116 but comes a little different today. On Wednesday I got to call back home and speak with one of my closest friends in Brooklyn NY. He gave me some disturbing news. I told him that I had planned to go Labor Day weekend but at the last minute backed out because I didn’t want to deal with traffic going or coming back so I would just hang out with family here. He told me I really dodged a bullet by not coming. He said Brooklyn was a war zone last weekend, so bad that on Labor Day he didn’t even go outside for fear of safety and he ALWAYS goes where he wants. Over the holiday weekend, there were 48 shootings in 48 hrs throughout the borough of Brooklyn. It was sickening and heart wrenching to hear. It had me so sad for the lives lost or affected by the shootings. Thankfully not all 48 shootings resulted in fatalities but it had me thinking how I used to be out there. Labor Day weekend in NY was a staple for me and the last time that I can truly say I went there to hang out like that we ducked bullets for 30 minutes and I told the Lord that if he got me out of there safe the only time they would see me in the hood is to give somebody an opportunity to meet Jesus. And I haven’t looked back since. As I reflect on that Labor Day as vividly as I remember yesterday and think about all that God has kept me from, my heart is poured out with gratitude. Today I don’t want to interpret a word but allow Psalm 116 to interpret itself. I pray today that you are safe, that you are grateful that God has saved you and pulled you out of some places and that you are praying for the mindset of those who are still in places that could potentially cause harm to them and that the Lord would grant them grace enough to receive Christ. Have a blessed and safe weekend!
