  • God's Living Water Ministry CLG PRESENTS FAITHPOWERHOUR: SESSION3 THE WAY AND LIFE OF A CHILD OF GOD
    PHILIPPIANS 2:5-11
    5] Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6] Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7] But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 8] And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. 9] Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10] That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;11] And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
    These scriptures Written by Paul has inspired us to live in a way that conforms to the Commitment Christ made. Christ left his home in glory, his kingdom in heaven to come down and live as a man. Took off his glory and covered himself in shame. Jesus off who he was to become what we are to free us from who we had become. Sinners we are now saved by grace all because Jesus sacrificed his Life taking sin and shame to the grave. Jesus defeated the effect sin had by way of death giving us Life Eternal. Jesus rose from the grave victorious in three days and ascended back home to his Father In Heaven. By this sacrifice Christ made it possible for those who would believe,  turn from their wicked ways and follow him would live in heaven with him and be reconciled back to God. The Created back to the Creator.
    Apostle Paul gets deep in Chapter 3 of PHILIPPIANS as he teaches and confides in us his reasoning for following Jesus. Paul's Encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus gave him an experiential moment that would last a lifetime. Now Apostle Paul would give up everything for Christ. Looking forward forgetting what he left behind to Win Christ. Apostle Paul proclaimed his desire to know Jesus in the fellowship of his Suffering, 
    To know Jesus for the Power of his Resurrection. PHILIPPIANS CHAPTER THREE Paul  opens up to the reader his reasoning for working as hard as he does and why we should strive to do the same. Apostle Paul teaches us New Man Character, Faithfulness and Love... Comfort and Peace even from prison Paul's Joy was the work of the Lord. Jesus said Pick up Your Cross and Follow Me.  The way we represent God down here on earth is a very important task. See we are ambassadors seeking to usher in the unbelievers. 
    2ND CORINTHIANS 5:20-21
    20] Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God. 21] For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
    EPHESIANS 5:15-20 15] See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise 16] Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.17] Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.
    PSALM 27:4] One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to enquire in his temple.

  • God's Living Water Ministry CLG PRESENTS FAITHPOWERHOUR:THE WAY AND LIFE OF A CHILD OF GOD SESSION 2
    Thank God for Jesus our Lord and Savior!  Way and Life of a Child of God!
    We Live and We Learn as we grow and Mature in the presence of our God. 
    The Bible as it is written,  helps us to navigate through this world with confidence.  Our trust in God defines us as children of God, the same way God had faith in Job. [Job Chp 1:8] In these Scriptures God Testified of Job's Character.  Allowing every reader to know God does pay close attention to the lives we live and will speak for us defending us against the adversary.
    Apostle Paul, The Servant of God was and still is very Instrumental, Inspirational and Encouraging while assisting God in the building of his Kingdom. Paul's Teachings as given to him by God has strengthened the character of many Christians.  Giving us courage and faith in Jesus Christ by the Doctrine he has been entrusted to preach  and teach.
    The Book Of Philippians is one of the books that Jesus spoke through Paul. Chapter Two of Philippians guides us in a right way of living and being seen as a child of God. Paul teaches how to care for each other by explaining Jesus time and work while down here on earth. The mind set of Christ which should be our desire.
    "LET THIS MIND BE IN YOU WHICH WAS ALSO IN CHRIST JESUS"
    Obedient unto death, Christ showed us not only how to live for God but how long we should strive to enter into the gates of Heaven. In Philippians Chp 2 we learn how faithfulness to God works and overcomes regardless of our circumstances. Paul being a prisoner,  continued to show a strong presence in the lives of those whom he had led to Christ. Paul Encouraged us to work out our Salvation with fear and trembling [Cautiously] warns us not to compromise our faith and relationship with God.
    To secure the work that he had performed for Christ, Paul would send men likeminded,  those whom would continue the work of Christ as it is written.  Men that would be careful to teach for the glory of God and not for self preservation.  These men would preach the gospel of Jesus Christ even to their own hurt. Paul taught us Unity, Fellowship and One Mind On Accord.
    Listen To Paul as he teaches Chapter 2 Philippians 1:30

  • God's Living Water Ministry CLG PRESENTS FAITHPOWERHOUR: THE WAY OF THE LORD HAS BENEFITS
    Every day we live and is given by God and only God holds for us something we know not. We have not the ability to say what will be and what will not be. We can only live and hope. ECCLESIASTES 8:6-8
    6] Because to every purpose there is time and judgment, therefore the misery of man is great upon him. 7] For he knoweth not that which shall be: for who can tell him when it shall be? 8] There is no man that hath power over the spirit to retain the spirit; neither hath he power in the day of death: and there is no discharge in that war; neither shall wickedness deliver those that are given to it. 
    It's time to take serious the purpose of God sending his Son. We have no more time left to figure it out, only to live and to live according to What's Right and Not What's Wrong.  We all must meet Jesus at the end of our Journey.  The question is what is your end. The decision is yours.
    ECCLESIASTES 6:1-8  1] There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is common among men: 2] A man to whom God hath given riches, wealth, and honour, so that he wanteth nothing for his soul of all that he desireth, yet God giveth him not power to eat thereof, but a stranger eateth it: this is vanity, and it is an evil disease. 3] If a man beget an hundred children, and live many years, so that the days of his years be many, and his soul be not filled with good, and also that he have no burial; I say, that an untimely birth is better than he. 4] For he cometh in with vanity, and departeth in darkness, and his name shall be covered with darkness. 5] Moreover he hath not seen the sun, nor known any thing: this hath more rest than the other. 6] Yea, though he live a thousand years twice told, yet hath he seen no good: do not all go to one place? 7] All the labour of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled. 8]  For what hath the wise more than the fool? what hath the poor, that knoweth to walk before the living?
    These scriptures talk about the rich, the famous, those who are well fed. It really makes no difference who and how well off you are. Just as the poor and needy who are the compassion of God,  they to must reverence God alike. A rich mans or women's wealth won't be a factor in Life, True Life nor will your wealth and fame bring you Joy. Without Jesus there is no Life neither is there any Joy. Everything we have Rich or Poor it is a waiste In Vain without Christ.  Our desires regardless of our status must be directed towards God.
    MATTHEW 6:20-24 VERSE 21, For where your Treasure is, there will your Heart be also.  VERSE 24, “No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.”
    The Truth is that our desires can not and should not override our Love for God.  The Light Of Life is The Love of Christ! The Love of the world and it's pleasures is Darkness and Death. 
    Tell your friends,  relatives,  family members even your enemies.  Tell them Jesus is coming and he is not coming to Save but to Redeem those who have been Purchased by his Blood, The Blood of Jesus Christ.
    Tell them to let Jesus be the desire of there lives and receive Salvation. Say yes...  Say yes..  Save me Jesus!   ROMANS 10:9-10, 9] That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10] For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

  • God's Living Water Ministry CLG PRESENTS FAITHPOWERHOUR: THE WAY AND LIFE OF A CHILD OF GOD
    Our action and reaction as a Child of God should and must be like Christ. The world must be able to see your light just as the woman did when she said to Peter, your one who is with Jesus. Hebrews Chapter 13: vs 1-3 1) "Let brotherly love continue". 2)"Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares" 3) "Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body".
    Today and always we must set our hearts to be loving and kind to everyone we meet, yes even our enemies. Love Unfeigned: John Chp 15:vs 12 "This is my commandment, that ye love one another, as I have loved you".  Matthew Chp 5: vs 44 "But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you and pray for them which de-spitefully use you and persecute you. These are truly Christ like characteristics. Philip Chp 2: vs 5 "Let this mind be in you which was in Christ Jesus." As christian people we need to carry ourselves in like manner. How we treat people daily should reflect the Christ that lives inside of us. I often say and do my best to live by this motto. its not that John, Sue and Joe saw me yes that's very much important because we are suppose to be examples for the world as Christ was an example for us. What's most Important is that Christ, God the father saw me and nothing can be hidden from him. Don't get me wrong and don't be misled, don't be fake because God searches the heart and tries the reins Jeremiah Chp 17: vs 10. So lets at all times be true to ourselves as being true to one another. Philip Chp 2: vs 13 "for it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure".  vs 14, 15 as well read and be blessed.
    Apostle Peter said be:
    We have an Incorruptible Inheritance
    [1ST PETER 1:3-7]
    3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
    4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, 5 Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. 6 Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations: 7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: [2ND PETER 1:3-11]
    3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: 4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. 5 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
    6 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; 7 And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. 8 For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. 10 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall: 11 For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and
    Saviour Jesus Christ.

    Today's child of God needs more study in God's word to learn the Living Way of being free from sin. Some believe that Christianity comes with a bunch of Unbearable Rules. Well I can say this,  Who among you can or could have bearded the Cross. God's words and his ways keeps us from ever having to experience such excruciating pain and suffering.
    HEBREWS 12:2-4 2] Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3] For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds. 4] Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.
    Now tell me, who would you rather be looking at? I know who I'm looking at. The Book Of Proverbs is a blessed map of Ways To Walk, To Talk and To Love everyone one you meet.
    ISAIAH 55:8-9
    8] For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. 9] For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
    The Word of God is our Spiritual Training Book which shows us the way to Heaven.  Men have Trained for centuries preparing themselves for a trip to the Moon ans back to Earth. They Train for the going and the coming.  SEE BELOW
    GOING TO THE MOON AND BACK
    ASTRONAUT TRAINING: describes the complex process of preparing astronauts in regions around the world for their space missions before, during and after the flight, which includes medical tests,[1] physical training,[2] extra-vehicular activity (EVA) training, procedure training, rehabilitation process,[3] as well as training on experiments they will accomplish during their stay in space.
    Virtual and physical training facilities have been integrated to familiarize astronauts with the conditions they will encounter during all phases of flight and prepare astronauts for a microgravity environment.[4] Special considerations must be made during training to ensure a safe and successful mission, which is why the Apollo astronauts received training for geology field work on the Lunar surface and why research is being conducted on best practices for future extended missions, such as the trip to Mars.
    The word of God prepares us for a Journey To Heaven with No Desire or No Place To Return. We will not want return once there. You must Study to show yourself approved.  Be washed with the water of the word. Believe In The Son Of God - Jesus Christ. EPHESIAN 5:26-27  26] That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 27] That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
    EPHESIAN 1:11-14 11] In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will: 12] That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.13] In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, 14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory. HEBREWS 12:14 “Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:”

    ROMANS 15:4-6
    4] For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope. 5] Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus: 6] That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
    When we Study reviewing God’s word, allowing God to speak to our hearts. We should be mindful of the Consideration, Compassion and Love that God showed in his dealings with The Children Of Israel.  We should also be mindful of the Similarities/Comparison to the Character Faithfulness to God and Ourselves Today. Have we disregarded the Love and Care God has shown us as The Israelites have done.  It appears that just maybe we suffer as a nation because of our Ingratitude or Inability to Love God more than worldly Pleasures. 
    COVID-19 Coronavirus crepped into our live unaware, the same way Jesus Christ will return on that Cloud with all his Angels. It's Time To Exam Ourselves and The Devotion we Have for God. Is Our Hearts all In....Is There Something Overshadowing, Overtaking The Treasure that should be first in Ourselves. Yes it's Time To Exam Ourselves.  Listen to What God Said To The Israelites in PSALMS 50:20-22
    20] Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; thou slanderest thine own mother's son. 21] These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as thyself: but I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes. 22] Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver.
    Could God saying this to us today?  We are not Blind, or are we? A Righteous Nation Gone Astray.
    How long will we Justify our ways and not consider the way of the righteous?  Listen to the Message and remember the words of Apostle Peter
    2ND PETER 1:9-10 THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT
    9] But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. 10] Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall: CLICK AND HEAR THE WORD OF GOD AND THINK!

    ISAIAH 43:1-7
    1 But now thus saith the Lord that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine.
    2 When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.
    3 For I am the Lord thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee.
    4 Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honourable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life.
    5 Fear not: for I am with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west;
    6 I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back: bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends of the earth;
    7 Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him
    2 Timothy 1:7
    7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

    39 But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.
    PERDITION
    A state of eternal punishment and damnation into which a sinful and unpenitent person passes after death.
    In the book of Isaiah 43:1-7,
    God encourages the children of Israel not to be afraid of the terror, the threats, the circumstantial situations that just show up in their lives to tear them down. The Water and Fire are symbolic of our natural causations that appear in our everyday lives. I call them circumstantial situations. The worry, frustration, sickness, financial concerns, my children all sorts of issues and concerns come to threaten the peace we have found in God. God wants you to know that as long as you have him in your life, you are more than a conqueror. ROMANS 8:35-37
    35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
    36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
    37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

    HISTORY: A LOOK BACK ON YESTERDAY -TODAY
    The Senghenydd colliery disaster, also known as the Senghenydd explosion 
    (Welsh: Tanchwa Senghennydd), occurred at the Universal Colliery in Senghenydd, near Caerphilly, Glamorgan, Wales, on 14 October 1913. The explosion, which killed 439 miners and a rescuer, is the worst mining accident in the United Kingdom. Universal Colliery, on the South Wales Coalfield, extracted steam coal, which was much in demand. Some of the region's coal seams contained high quantities of firedamp, a highly explosive gas consisting of methane and hydrogen. LET REMEMBER THE LOST AND PAIN OF ALL FAMILY MEMBERS AND FRIENDS!
    On October 14, 1964, Martin Luther King Jr. became the youngest person ever nominated to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. ... For his contributions to the cause, King was first nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize on January 31, 1963. LET REMEMBER THEIR IS NO PEACE WITH UNITY IN JESUS CHRIST THE PRINCE OF PEACE! ISAIAH 53:5
    “But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.”
    14 Oct, 1938 Germany Nazi's Attacks Clergy: Adolf Hitler's deputy has attacked the catholic clergy during a massive Nazi rally in Austria telling the cheering crowd of 100,000 that the clergy are seeking to instigate people against the state. Hitler or Christ is not the question, Hitler has never taken a stand against the Church and there is only one Fuhrer and his name is Adolf Hitler, and the clergy should not take orders from Rome but from the Fuhrer.  DEFINITION: FUHRER means Leader. Let us remember, The Earth Is The Lords and The Fullness There Of. We take our Instructions from ELOHIM/EL-SHADDIA. We must never compromise our righteousness. “Thou shalt have no other gods before me.” EXODUS 20:3
    BE FRUITFUL AND MULTIPLY!  STIMULUS CHECKS
    When the pandemic sent the world into lockdown in March 2020, many commentators quipped that a mini baby boom would follow nine months later. The reality was entirely different. Financial insecurity, increased parental responsibilities and anxiety about the future, along with other difficulties, prompted many to delay or forego having a baby. Economists are now projecting 300,000 fewer births in the United States this year than would have been expected before the pandemic. 
    Demographic changes can have economic ramifications. Falling birthrates mean smaller generations of taxpayers will eventually be responsible for supporting larger generations of retirees. Historically, therefore, governments have viewed a declining birthrate as an existential threat, raising the spectre of decline or extinction. The question of how direct government action might encourage a higher birthrate is not new; European governments have been grappling with this question for decades, France foremost among them. 
    Some government action in this period aimed to make it harder for women to choose smaller families. This included two laws passed in 1920: one making it illegal to sell or distribute contraceptive devices or information; the other strengthening the existing law punishing illegal abortions. There was also a strong push to offer an array of financial benefits and rewards, such as allowances, to families with children. This was in part to incentivise more births and make it easier to support larger families. It was also about encouraging the population to see the process of producing and raising the next generation of soldiers, workers and mothers as a collective responsibility. Such propaganda made it clear that those who chose to have few or no children – and it was usually presented as a choice – would have to help support the children of more prolific households. It depicted exhausted parents raising large families in squalid conditions, while childless couples lived in luxury, an injustice that could only be corrected through family benefits.

    THE POWER IN KNOWING - MY FUTURE IS IN GOD'S HANDS! MY RETIREMENT PLAN!
    Sister Robinson
    Elder Douglas
    This morning Sister Robinson joins me in encouraging the Lost and The Found to Trust In The Lord with All your Heart and Lean not to your Own Understanding.
    If you are a child of God, you are and hope you are working in the vineyard.  I pray you are putting your time in. God has plans for your future, while you are working for God, God is planning your future.  In fact your future is already predestined.  See God does not want you to be concerned about your days to come. This is not what he wants us to be concerned about.  God wants us to assist him as he builds his kingdom.  We are kingdom builder, labouring doing the will of God. God now has prepared a RETIREMENT PLAN for all your faithfulness.  Yes it's all set! 
    You will here how God views his people, those who work tediously, faithfully for him. Those whose Heart is Perfect towards Him! [37] Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. [38] This is the first and great
    commandment.
    Did you know from the day you said yes to God, He has purposed to prove his faithfulness to you.
    2ND CHRONICLES 16:9
    9] For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him.
    The second part of this Scripture is for King Asa who went to the enemy seeking help instead of going to God.

    Scriptures To Meditate On
    ISAIAH 26:2-4
    2] Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth the truth may enter in. 3] Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. 4] Trust ye in the Lord for ever: for in the Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength:
    PSALMS 23:1-3 1] The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2] He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. 3] He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
