SOUND THE TRUMPET

Sound the trumpet loud and clear, the coming of the Lord is at hand. He is coming back to judge the quick and the dead.
I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; (2 Timothy 4:1)
I love all of you and may God bless you with great understanding of his second coming. Praise God.

Matthew 5 King James Version (KJV)

5 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him:

² And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,
³ Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
⁴ Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
⁵ Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
⁶ Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
⁷ Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
⁸ Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
⁹ Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
¹⁰ Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
¹¹ Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

Know Jesus and you will know how to be merciful and live peacefully with your neighbors.

SIGN OF THE TIME

I want everyone to look at the sign of the time. People are facing hard situation that put them in the state of mind, asking God, why what or me is going on in my life? Let me tell you my friends, the reason why we are facing so much trouble is because we are disobedient children.  Many of us believe we are the general of our lives, God is showing us that he rules the entire world and the people who live in it. He is not respecter of person- he is nonchalant about color, power, wealthy or security that this world place their lives into, what intrigues him, is your Holiness toward him. Let me remind you, time is running out and the kingdom of God is at hand. CHANGE FROM YOUR WICKED WAYS, AND SEEK JESUS BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE. Many people did not make it to see today, November 19, 2014. I believe those who passed on and did not know God will meet him in the spirit face to face to be judge for his or her sin. Wake sleepers, run for your life, the kingdom of God are at hand. See Matthews 4, and read between the lines. I would advise you to turn to God while there is still hope, because you do not know God’s intention…

God bless you-repent.

HAPPINESS IN GOD

 Christianity is long suffering, we must encounter the thing that our Lord and savior had been through, when he was on earth. As John wrote in the below bible verse.Revelation 1:9
I, John, your brother and companion in the suffering and kingdom and patient endurance that are ours in Jesus, was on the island of Patmos because of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus.

In everything that is good there is a price, the price, Jesus died to save us from sins. Glory to God in the highest. When you receive a true calling from God you are no longer in darkness, you are now in the light. This let be to remember when Jesus opened the blind man's eyes, he said, " I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see." ( John 9: 25)

When you do not know God as your personal savior, you are living in darkness. My friends, come out of the darkness and come into the light. Here you will find joy, peace and happiness.

God bless you for reading this blog.

I love you! 

THE COMING OF THE LORD

I love the apostle Paul because he was a bold man. Reading Acts Chapter 19: 8-9, I acknowledged that he has no fear in loving and telling other about our Lord Jesus Christ, read this, " and he went into the synagogue, and spake boldly for the space of three months, disputing and persuading the things concerning the kingdom of God."
 But when divers were hardened, and believed not, but spake evil of that way before the multitude, he departed from them, and separated the disciples, disputing daily in the school of one Tyrannus.
acknowledging Paul's attitude towards God, he was sold out for Christ, in the sense that he do whatever it takes to spread the gospel everywhere that everyone should hear the preaching of the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. He was not the indoor man, he was the street man who was bold like a lion in delivering God words. You too can do the same if you are anointed with the power of God.
God bless you.

CREATE PEACE

When you are labeled with peace, the whole world around you is peaceful. God loves peace,not war. He created human beings to love one another and to live peaceful. The word of God said,
 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Matthews 5: 9-11

God's love for us is a fountain of peace and happiness. He did not created us to be fighting each other. It is because of man's attitudes toward themselves why this world is so corrupted.  God said whatever we can do to sustain peace among ourselves we should do it.
As follows:
If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. (Romans 12:18)

My friends whatever it takes to practice peace among yourselves do it-peace is rewarding. When your mind is at peace you sleep very well at night. When your mind is not at peace you are unable to thing or sleep. Today, let me hear you say peace to yourself unto your neighbors.

God bless you! PEACE

Esther Plans a Banquet

Est 5:1 Now it came to pass on the third day, that Esther put on her royal apparel, and stood in the inner court of the king's house, over against the king's house: and the king sat upon his royal throne in the royal house, over against the gate of the house.

Est 5:2 And it was so, when the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court, that she obtained favour in his sight: and the king held out to Esther the golden sceptre that was in his hand. So Esther drew near, and touched the top of the sceptre.

Est 5:3 Then said the king unto her, What wilt thou, queen Esther? and what is thy request? it shall be even given thee to the half of the kingdom.

Est 5:4 And Esther answered, If it seem good unto the king, let the king and Haman come this day unto the banquet that I have prepared for him.

Est 5:5 Then the king said, Cause Haman to make haste, that he may do as Esther hath said. So the king and Haman came to the banquet that Esther had prepared.

Est 5:6 And the king said unto Esther at the banquet of wine, What is thy petition? and it shall be granted thee: and what is thy request? even to the half of the kingdom it shall be performed.

Est 5:7 Then answered Esther, and said, My petition and my request is;

Est 5:8 If I have found favour in the sight of the king, and if it please the king to grant my petition, and to perform my request, let the king and Haman come to the banquet that I shall prepare for them, and I will do to morrow as the king hath said.

~ Haman's Pride

Est 5:9 Then went Haman forth that day joyful and with a glad heart: but when Haman saw Mordecai in the king's gate, that he stood not up, nor moved for him, he was full of indignation against Mordecai.

Est 5:10 Nevertheless Haman refrained himself: and when he came home, he sent and called for his friends, and Zeresh his wife.

Est 5:11 And Haman told them of the glory of his riches, and the multitude of his children, and all the things wherein the king had promoted him, and how he had advanced him above the princes and servants of the king.

Est 5:12 Haman said moreover, Yea, Esther the queen did let no man come in with the king unto the banquet that she had prepared but myself; and to morrow am I invited unto her also with the king.

Est 5:13 Yet all this availeth me nothing, so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king's gate.

Est 5:14 Then said Zeresh his wife and all his friends unto him, Let a gallows be made of fifty cubits high, and to morrow speak thou unto the king that Mordecai may be hanged thereon: then go thou in merrily with the king unto the banquet. And the thing pleased Haman; and he caused the gallows to be made.

Haman caused his own downfall. First, he convinced the king to change the rule about judging matters that were relevant to himself. If the king had not had the power to judge matters in which he was an interested party, Haman's case would have gone to a tribunal, and he would not have been killed. However, because Haman convinced Achashverosh that Achashverosh should have the power to decide these matters, Haman had no recourse once his death sentence was pronounced by the king. In addition, if he had not erected an inordinately tall gallows, Charvonah would not have been able to point it out to Achashverosh, and Haman's death sentence might not have happened so swiftly, leaving him no time to beg for mercy. It was only because Haman wanted the whole city to see Mordechai hanging that Charvonah saw the gallows from afar and pointed it out to Achashverosh. Lastly, if Haman had only listened to his wife's request to take down the gallows, the gallows would not have been there for Charvonah to see. Haman's obstinacy caused him to leave the gallows up, and caused his downfall.

PLEASE GOD IN DOING GOOD

Do Good to Please God

 “Take heed that you do not do your charitable deeds before men, to be seen by them. Otherwise you have no reward from your Father in heaven.  Therefore, when you do a charitable deed, do not sound a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory from men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward.  But when you do a charitable deed, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,  that your charitable deed may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will Himself reward you openly.

The Model Prayer

 “And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward.  But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly. And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words.

Our Father in heaven,
Hallowed be Your name.
¹⁰ Your kingdom come.
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.
¹¹ Give us this day our daily bread.
¹² And forgive us our debts,
As we forgive our debtors.
¹³ And do not lead us into temptation,
But deliver us from the evil one.
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

¹⁴ “For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. ¹⁵ But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.( Matthew 6: 1-14).
