To all my followers, friends, who continuously visiting my Blog.
I hope you enjoy dropping by.God bless each of us..

A WALK WITH JESUS

When we walk with Jesus we are going to experience all kinds of different things. We will lose friends and family because we turn from our wicked ways.

(2 Chronicles 7:14) "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."

When WE finally decide to truly turn from our wicked ways and follow him full time and stop just being a "Part-time Lover" you will see such a great and dramatic change in your life, you'll start seeing things in a new light. We focus too much on the how’s and when’s and ifs in life when we really should be focused on God. Recognize your problem but never dwell on it life is to short, you can have your way God has made us all free moral agents and responsible for our own actions either serve him or Satan

(John 5:30) "I can of mine own SELF do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me."

(Luke 16:13)" No servant 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."

To be a Christian is a choice that we choose, to be a saved Christian is another story. I’ve met many people that said they were Christians and be in bars and night clubs on the weekends and never show evidence of even knowing Jesus. We have too many of these popcorn Christians that will pop in Sunday and then you might see them again on Easter or the church homecoming.

We need more Jobs in the church, someone who will fight the fight of faith and stick in there when all hell is raging against you, when you are dealing with unpaid bills and on the verge of losing your home and your vehicle but most of all your mind, the bible says to

“Be still and know that I am God” (Psalms 46:10)

It takes a sold out man or woman of God to really stand in and endure the afflictions of this world.

There were times when we all wanted to give up and call it quits but we knew that God had a purpose for our life and so we hung in and clung to the cross with our entire mite.

THE OUT BREAK

When a person has been fighting a battle with depression or addiction it is SO hard to really trust in God. When you are lonely or you put yourself in a place to be lonely, you will find that you are vulnerable to anything and anyone, that’s why it is so important to stay, prayed up and keep the line of communication open between you and God.

1. COMMUNICATION IS EVERYTHING

I. No matter who you are, rather you are a husband and wife or just dating always

Keep your communications open so that you both can get closer and better know one another.

II. God wants to hear from you on a daily basis, not just when you want...Money, Help, and Blessings. When you are out

driving strike up a conversation with Jesus, let him know that he is or at least better be your everything, he wants you to tell him you love him, worship him.

2. GOD DOESN'T TAKE BACKSEAT

I. When you are going through life and all the sudden you feel alone, just take time to think... "Did I put God in the Back seat"? So many times we get our blessing and within a couple weeks are all down and sad. Trust that God is in control and knows what you have need of in your life.

3. THE GREAT ASSIMENT

I. When we trust In God to rule

Our life we always seem to think that he needs our help, the fact of the matter is he is God and he doesn’t need our help. Only he knows what we have need of in our life.

(Matt 6:8 ...Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father know what things ye have need of, before ye ask him. II. When Abraham brought his son to be sacrificed he was trusting in God to send the ram. But, with him not really knowing anything he took him in faith, as they went to worship and be sacrificed.

In Life God will ask you to sacrifice something so precious to you just like Abraham did with Isaac, when this time comes always know that God will make the way and provide everything. As they approached the place where the sacrifice would take place he told the boy to stay with the donkey as the lad and I go up to worship and come again (Genesis 22:5)

When God sees that you are truly dedicated to him and his word he will ALWAYS bless you when it’s all said and done, just as he did with Abraham. As Abraham brought the wood for the burnt offering and laid it upon Isaac his son and they went up just the two. At this point it would be safe to say that Isaac was wandering where the ram was, they had fire and they had a knife.

See, we will come to a place where we need a move of God and we are really depending on God to provide no matter the circumstances, If you have any children then you can probably understand

Abrahams thoughts, his only son, his only seed to carry his name through the generations to come and he was about to kill him...

My SOLD OUT Memories..(Blessid Union Of Souls » I Believe Lyrics)

My SOLD OUT Memories..

Blessid Union Of Souls » I Believe Lyrics

Walk blindly to the light and reach out for his hand
Don't ask any questions and don't try to understand
Open up your mind and then open up your heart
And you will see that you and me aren't very far apart

'Cause I believe that love is the answer
I believe that love will find the way

Violence is spread worldwide and there are families on the street
And we sell drugs to children now oh why can't we just see
That all we do is eliminate our future with the things we do today
Money is our incentive now so that makes it okay

But I believe that love is the answer
I believe that love will find the way
I believe that love is the answer
I believe that love will find the way

I've been seeing Lisa now for a little over a year
She said she's never been so happy but Lisa lives in fear
That one day daddy's gonna find out she's in love
With a nigger from the streets
Oh how he would lose it then but she's still here with me
'Cause she believes that love will see it through
And one day he'll understand
And he'll see me as a person not just a black man

'Cause I believe that love is the answer
I believe that love will find the way
I believe I believe I believe I believe that love is the answer
I believe that love will find the way
Love will find the way
Love will find the way
Love will find the way
Please love find the way
Please love find the way

Created For Relationships

"It is not good for man to be alone." Genesis 2:18

TWO DIFFERENT KINDS OF FRIENDS:

Proverbs 27:19 (GN) "A mirror reflects a man's face but what he is really like is shown by the kind of friends he chooses."

Proverbs 12:26 "A righteous man is cautious in friendship."

People we need to avoid as our closest friends: Proverbs 28:25

A greedy man stirs up dissension (disagreement), but he who trusts in the LORD will prosper. Proverbs 15:27

A greedy man brings trouble to his family, but he who hates bribes
will live.

Treasure chances

Just one chance and I’ll grab it
Just one chance and I will treasure it
Just one chance and I will work for it
Just to have that only chance I will cry for it

Millions of chances came, I ignore
Millions of chances across, I ask for more
Millions of chances easy come and go
Millions of chances, I let go

Now crying isn’t enough
Now working hard doesn’t seems enough
Now looking for chances is tiring
And now I’m waiting for a chance to have chance

Work hard, cry hard, and look forward
To see millions of chances ahead
Grab it, treasure it and be with it
Don’t let chances come and go.

SOLDOUT-SBC Youth Ministry

We live in a society that loves to hide the truth, where people focus more in maintaining a good image rather than making an effort in building character. This generation is deprived in knowing and living the Truth the way it should be. Distorted view about love, happiness, love, success, values, relationship, family, sex, and God has been developed. A generation that declares “truth is whatever you think is right; no boundaries, no limitations, no standards and no substitutes.”

SOLD OUT is a youth ministry that caters to the youth (13-35) in all walks of life. Our desire is to inform, educate and confront the young people of our community the truths about God and how it is significant in their lives it is to know and where they could be headed. The choices we make today will not just affect us but everybody around us. This conference provides sound and relevant teachings in dealing issues like peer pressure, self-esteem, sexual purity, addictions and other issues being faced by the contemporary youth in a way that is both educational and recreational.

The only generation that can reach this generation is our generation.
