What do you have to give to God?

We are the creations of the Lord most High. Everything we have comes from him. Every emotion we feel God gave them to us. He gave us mouth to speak, mind to think, ears to hear, nose to smell, hands to touch, feet to  walk, and more. All the happiness, goodness, dancing, laughter, smiles, praising that we do, God has given it to us. We can praise him, talk with him, healing, blessings, salvation, victories, etc because we are connected to Jesus Christ. God has given us his only begotten son that we may have life through him. Even the earth, plants, and animals are his. He knows every animals, beasts, fishes, trees, birds by name. Everything is his. So what can we give to God?
“Hear, O my people, and I will speak,
    O Israel, and I will testify against you:
    I am God, your God.
I do not rebuke you for your sacrifices
    or your burnt offerings, which are ever before me.
I have no need of a bull from your stall
    or of goats from your pens,
10 for every animal of the forest is mine,
    and the cattle on a thousand hills.
11 I know every bird in the mountains,
    and the creatures of the field are mine.
12 If I were hungry I would not tell you,
    for the world is mine, and all that is in it."
Psalm 50:7-12.

Commit your life and spirit to Jesus Christ and walk with him praising and praying everyday.

Peacefire in times of conflict.

What is peacefire? Many people would probably ask this question. Well Peacefire is having the Prince of Peace, Jesus Christ, in the center of your conflicts. Whenever you feel like the whole situation will go in uproar and make it bigger then it really is, just take a step back and go to your room and read God's word and then pray. Say "Lord Jesus take this situation into your hand and give me peace and reconciliation. I know you are always working  so please use me as an instrument to make your plan and your will come to pass. In Jesus name I pray Amen." If you give it all to God, he will change the situation for the better. Remember that:
 1. Remember that God is always working
2. He's always looking for some one to use
3. His purpose and will always comes to pass for his pleasure and Glory.
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean Not on your own understanding. In all things acknowledge him and he will make your paths straight."  Proverbs 3:5-6
You see we only see a part of what is happening and we don't know the other person's story. But God see the whole picture and he knows what is happening. So trust that he will make it happen according to his plan. He can transform people in the midst of the conflicts. So remember to "Be Careful for nothing but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God." Philippians 4:6
Thank You for reading May God Bless you.

Giving is the best way to prosperity

If we choose to be generous and obey God's law of giving 1/10 of everything we make then we will surely be blessed. God wants us to give to others and help bless people so that we can be blessed. God is our Father and he loves blessing us but we have to do our part in the matter. You see God is not going to do everything for you. You have to do what you can and he'll do what you can't. This goes with everything in life. Tithing has gone way back in times of Abraham, Issac, Jacob etc. He said in
Luke 6:38 "38 Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” 

See God loves to bless us. If we want to live a life of prosperity and goodness and no lacking we should obey God's commandment to give 1/10 of our firstfruits.  God also said that if we do not give our tithes to God we are robbing him. 1/10 of everything we make belongs to him so we rob him if we don't tithe. In Malachi 3:8-12 God says it all. 
"“Will a man rob God? Yet you rob me.
“But you ask, ‘How do we rob you?’
“In tithes and offerings. You are under a curse—the whole nation of you—because you are robbing me. 10 Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it. 11 I will prevent pests from devouring your crops, and the vines in your fields will not cast their fruit,” says the Lord Almighty. 12 “Then all the nations will call you blessed, for yours will be a delightful land,” says the Lord Almighty."

Amen to that God is awesome and he does care about whether you give in offering or in tithes. So brothers and sisters in Christ let us stop holding on to what we have and give it to God so that he will multiply it more and abundantly and beyond what we had. Thank you for reading and May God Bless You. =)

Wildfire in conflicts

My brothers and sisters around the world, we all go through conflicts with one another. Whether is in our personal relationship or our family members or even our friends. You see one little problem that we have against each other can results in wildfire. For example if you were angry with your spouse and you think you're always right and then you started arguing and bickering with each other. Then you turn that little match fire into a wildfire that spreads to all your family. Your issue will affect your children. Instead of a little problem you turn it into bigger problems that affects your whole family. You and your spouse might not even want to talk to each other. Then there will be a wall between you guys. And the gloomy atmosphere cover your whole home. Jesus said in Matthew 7:5 "You hypocrites first take the log out of your own eyes, and then you can see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eyes."  What does that mean? Jesus is telling us to first correct ourselves then we can see clearly and then we can correct others. We sinned and do a lot of bad things so before we can judge we need to repent and confess our sins to God and then strive to live a holy life that Jesus taught us to by reading his word (the BIBLE).
So my brother and sisters let us not judge others lest we want to be judge. For Judgement belongs only to Jesus Christ  who is perfect in every way. Only he can Judge us with justice and righteousness. So the next time you have a conflict, take a moment to talk to God about it and give it all to him.

In the mist of problems!!

I just heard that my husband's company is going to have many people lay off. In my family he is the only one working and we have four little children: one is 5 years old that just started school, another is 3 years old, another is 2 years old, and the last one is my baby girl, who is 3 months old. It seems like God is trying test our faith in him. I believe that God will bless us even in the mist of our problems. My husband works only three to 4 days a week. And we barely meet all our bills among other things like diapers and such for my baby. Food for the family. We've been having car troubles for over two years. But I know God will Open the door where there seems to be no way. I know God is working in us and for us right now to bring that Blessings that I asked him. I believe also that God will use me in everything I do. And I will give him Praise and Glory..

The Lord is my Shepherd.

Jesus is like the good shepherd who loves all his sheep and he knows them by name. Jesus said in Matthew 28:10-14 that he would leave the 99 sheep to look for that one lost sheep. Now what does that mean? Well plainly speaking, Jesus is the good shepherd and We are the sheep. The one sheep who is lost is the people who turned away from God. God will search for them and save them from their enemies. Jesus is always with us. When he had save the sinners and welcomes home the lost ones, multitudes of his angels will glory God for just that one soul that was saved. God loves us so much that he is willing to give his own son Jesus Christ to die for our sins. That through him we might be saved.
In Psalm 23 It said "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.
    He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
    he restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness
    for his name’s sake.
Even though I walk
    through the valley of the shadow of death,[a]
I will fear no evil,
    for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
    they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me
    in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
    my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and love will follow me
    all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
    forever.

I mean how awesome is that. We shouldn't fear anything for Jesus is with us. He loves and he will never leave us. In Psalm 34:19 "A righteous man may have many troubles, but the Lord delivers him from them all;" 
So my brothers and sisters let us live in righteousness for Jesus and glorify his holy name. Let us leave all our sins behind and walk with Jesus and let him guide us to the stream of waters where there is peace that surpasses understanding. May God Bless You all.

How can you overcome Fear? part 2

Fears is in everyone's life but we don't have to let it make our decision. We always have a choice: to believe the lies that the devil wants us to believe or to give to God and don't worry about a thing anymore. Those of you who fear that people might hate you because you've sinned, let me tell you this: "All have sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God." Romans 3:23. We all have sins, and no one is perfect. The only perfect human that ever lived is Jesus Christ. That's why he can redeemed us from the bondage of sins. We sometimes feel that if we revealed our sins when we accept God as our savior, people will judge us. But Jesus said "Judge not lest you will be judge also." So don't worry about it. The devil wants you to keep your sins to yourselves so that he can have something to tie you to him. But if you let that sin out of your life by confessing it, he (the devil) will not have any hold on you. You see we have to believe that when we accepted Jesus Christ, he forgave us of ALL our sins not just one or two. So we don't have to be ashamed of it. Remember that Jesus is always with you when you feel him or not. He just wants you to call on him. "lo, I am with you always until the end of the ages." Matthew 28:20...

How can you over come Fear? part 1

Fears! Everyone have one or more in their life. The question we all should answer is "Am I going to let fear rule my life?" Many of us have fears that will hunt us into the night or in our everyday life. Maybe it's something we did in the past, or something we don't want to encounter in  the future. Maybe it's fear of the darkness, or maybe it's being afraid of Losing someone special to you. Maybe it's fear of repeating the same mistake your parents make. Or fear of men or women, because of rape in the past. Or maybe you're afraid of losing, or you're afraid of letting your parents down and you think you have to be perfect. Maybe you're afraid of being a dad or a mom because one of your parents walk out on you when you were young and it hurts you so much that you don't want that to happen again. My brothers and sisters in Christ, Please I urge you to not let these fears take control of your life. We only can do so much. But if we constantly letting fear make our decision in life, we will never have peace in life. Our daily life will be constantly worrying about something. Remember fears is not of God but of the Devil, the father of Lies. One common fears a lot of us have is the fear of death. If you believe in God and accepted Jesus in your life you shouldn't fear death because Jesus has overcome death and when you died you will be in heaven with him. Fear makes us want to do things we don't want to. It stirs up emotional hurts that most of the time will hurt others around us as well. It will ruin our relationship with others. If you just give all your fears to God he will take care of you. Trust in him and let Jesus be your Light in the darkness. Call out to him and give him all your burden and he will give you rest. In Psalm 34:4 It said this "I sought the Lord and he answered me; he delivered me from ALL my fears." You see God will handle it all.
