"What S.P.A.C.E do you give yourself?" (Feb 28, 08,
9:38 a.m.)
You
may give yourself a lot of space or a very little space to move around. The key
is whether the space you give yourself affects you to the point that it
endangers your relationship with the Lord and others. Jesus knew all about space
and took time alone to be with the Father in solitude and also time to be with
people all around Him....

"What is your I.M.P.A.C.T?" (Feb 27, 08,
8:17 a.m.)
There is an impact we all make but the
question becomes is it a good impact or a bad impact. Our actions can draw
people to Jesus Christ when people hear about us or they can make people think
if this is what Christianity is all about, I don’t want anything to do with this
Jesus. People do base their decision to come to Christ based on those they have
contact with many times....

"Whose N.E.E.D.S do you meet?" (Feb 26, 08,
9:54 a.m.)
There
are so many people out there with needs. Many times we overlook people around us
but when we step foot into a place whether it is a workplace, home life, church,
synagogue, etc, there are needs around us. We learn from Jesus how attentive He
was to a person's need. You and I should do the same and meet the needs of those
around us as we experience Jesus meeting our own needs....

"What does the S.A.B.B.A.T.H mean to you?" (Feb 25, 08,
10:46 a.m.)
Jesus loves you so much and gave you the Sabbath for a reason. It is so
you can be well rested after six days of work. Our Lord wants us to be rested
and take care of our health. The Sabbath was given to benefit you. This means
you should take every opportunity to try to keep the Sabbath because it will
benefit you...

"What kind of L.E.A.D.E.R will you be? (Feb 23, 08,
10:46 a.m.)
There are only two choices when it comes to
being a leader; you are either a good leader or a bad leader. It can be an honor
to be a leader but there is also great responsibility that comes with it. Those
that follow you will be influenced by your own actions because they see you in a
leadership position. You can take that opportunity to be a righteous leader as
you depend on the Lord Jesus Christ to help you and guide you to be the best
leader you can be....

"How do you see your L.I.F.E?" (Feb 22, 08,
9:56 a.m.)
Your
life may seem good or bad to you. Your life may seem the same old life
or a new life. I do not know how you see your life. The way you see your
life is dependent on what you emphasize to be important in your life.
However you have perceived your life to be, I have Good News for you.
Yes, I do friend! Jesus is His Name and He wants to give you a life with
no shame.....

22, 08
"When do you F.A.S.T?" (Feb 21, 08,
9:32 a.m.)
Fasting can bring us closer to the Lord
as we focus on the Lord during that time that we would normally use for
eating. This can be a wonderful thing as we turn that time into prayer.
I believe the Lord will show us things we did not know as we spend in
that time....

"Who do you I.N.V.I.T.E to Jesus?" (Feb 20, 08,
9:57 a.m.)
When
Levi was invited by Jesus to follow Him, Levi not only followed Jesus but
invited others who are like him to his house so they too can have an encounter
with Jesus. If you are a believer in Christ, you have the wonderful opportunity
to invite those that do not know Jesus to have an encounter with Jesus. Yes, you
can....
Wednesday, Feb 20, 08
"Where are you looking for A.C.C.E.P.T.A.N.C.E?" (Feb
19, 08, 11:22 a.m.)
Human
beings were made to be in a relationship with God and each other. Sin marred
that bond and corrupted it. Yet, deep inside of every human being there is a
desire for acceptance and they look for it in different places. I guess Levi
looked to his job for acceptance even though it hurt a lot of people....
Tuesday, Feb
19, 08
"What do you represent by your A.C.T.I.O.N.S?" (Feb
18, 08, 8:23 a.m.)
Our
actions have the ability to bring glory and honor to the Lord or bring dishonor
to him. When we say something, we should be able to back it up with our actions.
Our words should not become useless statements without meaning. When I think about words, the phrase, 'I LOVE YOU' comes to mind....
Monday, Feb
18, 08
"What are you thinking in your M.I.N.D?" (Feb
16, 08, 11:08 a.m.)
Whatever
you are thinking in your heart or mind, it is exciting to know that Jesus
already knows about it even if we do not express it publicly. Jesus is not
concerned just with our actions but our thought processes that lead to negative
actions. Knowing that Jesus already knows what we think before we think it and
bring it to action should make us more aware of how we live our lives. It also
helps us to know that Jesus is there to hold us accountable for our actions for
our own good....

"Where does P.A.R.A.L.Y.S.I.S take hold of you?" (Feb
15, 08, 7:42 a.m.)
Paralysis
is not always physical but it could also be spiritual or psychological.
We can be feeling so guilty about something that we keep racking our
minds on it to the point that we freeze ourselves from forgiving
ourselves or accepting other people’s forgiveness.
Jesus does not want that to happen and wants to free us from
whatever guilt we are facing for He already paid the price to set us
free and we are never out of His love....
Friday, Feb
15, 08
"How is your love on V.A.L.E.N.T.I.N.E.S day?" (Feb
14, 08, 10:58 a.m.)
Our
love towards the Lord, our special one, our neighbor, etc
is reflected in our actions! Those actions are governed by the spiritual,
physical, intellectual, psychological, and social dimensions of our life. Especially, whether
all those areas come under the Lordship of Jesus Christ is what determines the love we have
towards our special one, family, friends, neighbors and the Lord....
Thursday, Feb

"What kind of F.R.I.E.N.D are you?" (Feb
13, 08, 11:49 a.m.)
There
are friends who pretend to be friends and there are those who are real friends
who would even die for you. It makes me so happy to realize that there are
friends out there that do not mind risking their own lives for their friends.
They do not let obstacles, inconveniences, or hindrances stop them from helping
their friends. That is what the four men did for their friend and it paid of....
Wednesday, Feb
13, 08
"What do you do with your P.O.P.U.L.A.R.I.T.Y?" (Feb
12, 08, 9:52 a.m.)
There
are those that are popular who have used their popularity for selfish
reasons instead of for the good of others. Jesus used His popularity for
the good of mankind. Jesus could have done many good things when He came home
but He focused first on giving the crowds
gathered there God's Word, so they can be helped. We need to
do the same if we ever become popular.....
Tuesday, Feb
12, 08
"What do your actions C.A.U.S.E?" (Feb 11, 08,
9:23 a.m.)
Our
actions can either glorify the Lord or bring dishonor to the Lord. Our actions
can make people want to know more about Jesus or they can turn people away from
Jesus thinking if this is what Christianity is all about, I don’t want to have
any part in it. Sometimes the right actions done at the wrong times can cause
problems too. There was nothing wrong with the man letting others know that he
was healed but the problem was the timing and the disobedience of the man. Jesus
specifically told him not to speak to anyone else. The man decides to go his own
way anyway....
Monday, Feb
11, 08
"Where do you need to be C.L.E.A.N?" (Feb 09, 08,
11:00 a.m.)
You know the skeletons from your past. You know
the deep hurts and scars that are hidden deep inside. You know the times of
rejection, ridicule, etc you may have faced. Many of you may still be carrying
them with you as heavy baggage. It will not go away on its own but you can
definitely find healing from your past and be set free once you start dealing
with what happened and not hesitate to receive the help needed. Jesus wants you
to come to Him and He will not turn you away. He wants to clean out your past
for you just as Jesus made the leper clean. Yes, He
does friend! Come as you are....

"Where do you give your S.O.L.I.T.A.R.Y time to the Lord?" (Feb
07, 08, 11:41 a.m.)
When we spend time alone
with Father God without any distractions, He reveals to us what He wants us to
do and we know we can be guided in His footsteps. That is so exciting to know!
Yes, we can friend! Oh yes, we can.....
Thursday, Feb
07, 08
"Where do you need an A.N.S.W.E.R?" (Feb 06, 08,
11:16 a.m.)
There
will be times when you do not know when the answer you are looking for will
come. There are other times when you will be placed in a position to help
someone else out. In either case, expect an answer from the Lord. It does not
matter what area of life it is....
Wednesday, Feb
06, 08
"Where do you need H.E.A.L.I.N.G?" (Feb 05, 08,
11:44 a.m.)
There
are so many areas in our lives that only the Lord’s healing touch can completely
heal especially if those areas are scarred. The Good News is that Jesus wants to
be there for you. He wants to take you by the hand and lift you up....
Tuesday, Feb

"What if Jesus talked F.O.O.T.B.A.L.L?" (Feb
02, 08, 10:35 a.m.)
Now imagine God being your
Quarterback
(QB) with a perfect passer rating. This means there are no errors on the part of God
as a quarterback. Let us hold that constant so any error that occurs will be because of
us wide receivers. As a quarterback throws a football and as a farmer throws the seed,
God sends us His Word.....

"What C.A.P.T.I.V.I.T.Y are you facing today?" (Feb
01, 08, 10:35 a.m.)
Captivities can come in many shapes and forms.
They do not just have to be demon possession but they can be an
unforgiving spirit, living in the past, having trouble to move on
because of things that have happened, loss of hope and dreams, guilt,
etc. If we dwell in them, they will control us but the Good News is that
Jesus wants to reach you where you are friend. Yes, He does! Allow Him
to come and work in your life. Allow Him to be the Lord of your life....
Friday, Feb 01, 2008
"Whose T.E.A.C.H.I.N.G.S do you follow?" (Jan 31, 08,
11:52 a.m.)
Knowing whose teaching we intend to listen to is very
important for our Christian growth so we need to be part of a church that wants
Jesus Christ to be known and be known by Him. This happens when the bishops/
pastors/ priests/ ministers, etc speak God’s Word to the congregation than their
own personal views...
Thursday, Jan 31, 2008
"How do you rate in the B.U.S.I.N.E.S.S of Jesus?" (Jan
30, 08, 11:29 a.m.)
What
ever business you are in whether it is family owned or not, if you follow
the Lord's calling into ministry, you are actually joining the business of
Jesus. You maybe asked to leave behind the business you were doing or utilize
what you learned in the business you are doing for the Kingdom of God....
Wednesday, Jan 30, 2008
"Without having to P.R.O.C.R.A.S.T.I.N.A.T.E, what should you do?" (Jan
29, 08, 10:44 a.m.)
Without
delay, James and John were called to follow Jesus. Each one of us is called to
do things for the Lord. Most importantly, we are called to follow Him in our
daily lives without delay. Without delay, the Lord Jesus could be putting things
on your heart to start. As James and John followed Jesus without delay, you and
I should start to do things we know the Lord wants us to do. There should not be
any procrastination at all....

"What kind of P.R.O.F.E.S.S.I.O.N are you in?" (Jan
26, 08, 10:22 a.m.)
Jesus wanted to use Simon and Andrew from what they had already pursued
and were pursuing to make an impact for the Kingdom of God. This is
awesome because no matter what you are studying or where you are
working, I believe that area of academics/trade can be used by the Lord
to make an impact in the Kingdom of God. So never give up on what you
want to pursue because as you pursue your academic dream and become
alive in Christ being willing to follow Him, He can use you where you
are at.....
Thursday, Jan 24, 2008
How do you handle T.I.M.E given to you? (Jan
21, 08, 1:31 p.m.)
Jesus set an example for us. Jesus did not rush in to preach
the Good News but waited for the appropriate timing. Only when John was arrested
did Jesus come to proclaim the Good News. From Jesus we can learn that there is
a time for everything....
Monday, Jan 21, 2008
"How
do you handle T.E.M.P.T.A.T.I.O.N?" (Jan 19, 08,
12:27 p.m.)
It can be so easy to
give into temptations when we follow our fleshly desires and sadly many times we
do because we do not focus on the Lord and what He wants to offer us. I know I
have been guilty of that time after time. When Satan tempts, he makes things
look so good and enticing......
Saturday, Jan 19, 2008
"How is your loving P.R.A.I.S.E?" (Jan 18, 08,
8:53 a.m.)
I don't want you to think that Jesus should only be praised when
things go well. No, friend, Jesus deserves our praise all the time
because of who He is and what He has already done for us. Friend, I
remember when we were all going to the funeral of my dad, my mom would
continue to read aloud Psalms as she asked each of us which Psalm we
would like to hear. Even at the Gate of Heaven cemetery in Maryland, we
heard praises to the Lord Jesus being read from the Psalms by our mom.....
Friday, Jan 18, 2008
"How
will you take a S.T.A.N.D? "(Jan 17, 08,
11:21 a.m.)
Jesus set a wonderful example for us not only regarding baptism but about
commitment. Jesus did not let obstacles come in the way. We too should take a
stand for doing right and not let obstacles come in our way.
It will not be easy to take a stand many times
for issues you believe in that are biblical but taking a stand for Jesus
and the Bible is the best thing we can do. Taking a stand for doing
right is the best way to go......

"Who do you P.O.I.N.T to?" (Jan 16, 08,
8:48 a.m.)
I want to encourage you from experience that amazing things can happen
with just few people too who are passionate and have a heart to glorify the Lord
and bring people closer to Him carrying the vision of pointing people to Jesus.
In my time in ministry with my brothers and sisters in the Lord, I have seen
that happen....

"How
seriously do you T.E.S.T.I.F.Y about prophesy?" (Jan
12, 08, 11:18 p.m.)
Prophesies in
the Bible has always come true and will continue to come true. If you take
prophesy seriously, let God’s Word speak to you not only through the New
Testament but also through the Old Testament realizing the New Testament makes
so much more sense and becomes exciting to read when we realize most of the
events that took place in the New Testament were prophesized in the Old
Testament revealing why Jesus Christ came to earth..
"What does the G.O.S.P.E.L mean to you?" (Jan 15, 08,
1:15 p.m.)
You have seen the four spirituals truths
explained based on Mark 1:1 and John 3:16. You have seen the role of GOD, the role of MAN, the
role of SIN, and the role of JESUS CHRIST. All of the roles have a part
in imparting the Gospel of Jesus Christ to you. You need to understand
each role to really understand the GOSPEL or GOOD NEWS. Once you have
understood it, you have to act upon it.....
