He Is Risen!

​Lent means a lot of things to different people. As we go in and out of this season many sacrifices are

being made. Me…didn’t seems like I was following anyone thing right, even when I wanted to.  So I sat

still long enough to look around to see, what am I missing?

My schedule was being changed by Almighty God. Like someone cleaning out the closet He was taking

away what wasn’t important. What felt like I was letting someone down, was replaced with His intense

boldness to let me know, He was doing it. My season was filled, not with quantity but with quality. The

very things that pertained to me and my destiny. An example: four times I had stopped by a place to

rent out for functions. No one was ever there! But going from point A to point B, heading to point C

(you know how we do) I get instructions from God to turn and stop. Mind you, I had just left a card in

their mailbox at 11am. The lot was full at 3:30pm for a function and the owner was present in her office.

Now it doesn’t matter weather I felt like I had a lot of free time (really). We got it wrong; for the hours

of the day belong to Him. Once I told the devil to shut up - all in my head. I told myself to relax, and to watch

and listen to God. Two hours later we left with a verbal agreement of renting her building for my

functions. But more than that we had an encounter with God, she was speaking into my life and I into

her. Nice when there is no hidden agenda’s!  See I have this understanding with God that I will have a

building. I was MORE concerned as to why He wanted me there, then.  Instead of me multi- tasking, God was

and I finally understood…*Seek Ye the kingdom of God first*!

Ask yourself! Is any part of my day being concerned with His kingdom - or just my selfish ambitions?  Am I

taking the time to patiently listen to someone hurting inside?  Are you taking the time to pray with

someone? You might be like their Drano... because they feel like… they’re all clogged up? Are you following

His commandment to love one another, not just who you want, or who is easy for you to love?  Are you stressed out because you

please everyone else, but Him. Feeding the homeless doesn’t mean they are all on the streets…I worked

everyday and after paying my bills, had $20.00 dollars to last till next payday.  A lot of temptations and

life decisions are made payday to payday.

The season is about HE DIED AND HE LIVES! Not what day it was, not what we are eating. I could go on and

on and on.... like what we think we know. To the Church - and each individual, we need to ask ourselves…is my

life reflecting Him -- JESUS CHRIST?? Or, am I just an earthen vessel in an outfit with a smile. Where are the wailing

women, the prayer warriors, the sidewalk prophets? We look so much like the world. I feel God saying

refuel, reboot, reconnect to Him. Young people are dying at an early age; speak life into all you can.

Simply look at them and saying “God bless You” will bring some life change. Yes, cause I believe HE IS RISEN and

HIS WORD DOES NOT RETURN TO HIM VOID!
