Friends Jesus deserves our worship. He is Lord. He has risen from the dead and He is Lord. Every knee shall bow, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.

We are all made in God's image. Our Lord wants us to view ourselves as servants with great dignity. We must be willing to serve and not expect to be served. In order to be great Jesus is calling us to adopt the attitude of children: humility, simplicity, teachableness and unworldliness. True greatness does not lie in what we possess or have achieved. It lies in our willingness to serve those who are the smallest and lowliest among us. That constitutes Jesus' kind of greatness.

Jesus Christ came to this earth to seek and save the lost. Although many persons have heard the call to follow him they are resistant to change from their sinful lifestyle. They find many excuses why they are not ready to follow him. However, because of his faithfulness to us, he still rescues the perishing. His mercy has overcome our resistance. Today we can have forgiveness of sins as we seek to obey his word.

Many persons live their lives as if they are running out of time. There is so much to do. However, although we need to take our responsibilities seriously we need to stop and take a breath. We must rest a while..not because our work is done but because God commanded it. True rest however, comes from spending time with God,recognizing His presence and trusting His word. Will you stop today and take a breath? Will you rest a while? H. Staple-Reid

If we forgive those who have wronged us, God will forgive us. However, if we refuse to forgive them God will not forgive us. Therefore, when you forgive you set a prisoner free,then realize that prisoner was you. When you forgive, you heal. When you let it go, you grow.

How is God calling you to surrender all? This means to be totally open to God's will. Although we fail we must learn our lessons daily because that is how we grow. Trust me, it will take a different effort to surrender all. Where he leads we need to follow.

There are times in our lives when we focus on what God is doing for those around us and fail to count our own blessings. However, if we just stop to look at life from God's perspective we would praise Him every hour of the day. There is a roof up above us, a good place to sleep, food on our table and shoes on our feet. We have a lot to thank God for.

Jesus Christ suffered in the flesh. As believers and followers of Christ, we will also encounter suffering(s) which we should not consider to be strange. God uses suffering to refine the believer's faith. Let us therefore try our best to rejoice and endure

because it will lead to future glory.(1Peter 4:12-13)

Wait on the Lord, be of good courage and He will strengthen your heart. You cannot go wrong if you wait on Him. Be blessed.

Jesus said let the wheat and the tares grow together until the day of harvest. The main purpose of the tare is to choke and kill the growth of the weak wheat around it. ..Do not allow the tares around you to hinder your growth in Christ Jesus.
