Greetings to you My brothers and sisters, So often we down play who we are or the situation we're in. Where ever you are now in your life whether good or bad look at it as a process or preparation to your destiny. We are to pattern our lives after the Savior of the world Jesus Christ He had disappointments and set backs in His life but He didn't allow it to keep Him down, Also He experienced people talking about Him, calling Him names, even so called friends stabbing Him in the back but He kept His focus on the real purpose of why He came to earth. There is a purpose to your life a reason that God chose you. (Search It out.) We as a human race always use negative statements to give ourselves little comfort, statements like I can't win for losing well Romans 8:37 tells us Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. The word nay in the greek simple means Indeed so let us read that passage like this, Indeed, in ALL these things we are more than just winners or defeaters through Him that loved us. So next time you face a disappointing situation say it like this I can't lose for Winning. Another one we use often is If I didn't have bad luck I wouldn't have luck at all. Proverbs 18:21 states Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. I understand that to mean, Doom or Peace are in my tongue, so I can speak how I choose to live My life, that's not to say we won't have some misfortune in our lives but we have the power to control the outcome. Here's another one I always get the short end of the stick. My brothers and sisters we must be go getters. Stop waiting on someone to hand it to you, You have the ability to grab it yourself. Luke 10:19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. The word power means Authority to take what you want from the enemy. Many times I have heard Christians say I don't want nothing the enemy has, most of the time he has what belongs to us anyway, (Joy, Peace, Sanity, happiness, Our Children, Our Marriage, and even our Finances among other things.) So I admonish you to stop accepting the short end and grab the long end. One last statement I'm always the last chosen. Matthew 20:16 says it best, So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen. You need to count your blessings that you are last.
Be Blessed:
Servant AJ
