Bless Me


1 Chronicles 4:9-10 NLT
There was a man named Jabez who was more honorable than any of his brothers. His mother named him Jabez because his birth had been so painful. He was the one who prayed to the God of Israel, “Oh, that you would bless me and expand my territory! Please be with me in all that I do, and keep me from all trouble and pain!” And God granted him his request.

The Greatest Challenge


What is my purpose?

what is my purpose  - spiritual and philosophical question in vintage wooden letterpress printing blocks isolated on white Stock Photo - 8096102
In the midst of trying and difficult times, have you ever asked God, “Why am I here?” or “What is my purpose?” It is quite possible that you may have raised these questions while things were going seemingly well. No matter where you are in life right now, know this: God put you on this earth to fulfill the promise He has predestined for your life. T. D. Jakes

Don't Give Up


Life


God's Wonders


Paul’s Prayer for Spiritual Growth Ephesians 3:14-21
When I think of all this, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth. I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and kee
p you strong. And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.

Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen. (Joshua 3:14-17)

The Potter


















God knows what He is doing in each of us. He is the potter, and we are His clay. He will mold us, make us, and expose us, to just enough of the right kind of pressure to form us into a flawless piece of work, that will fulfill His good, pleasing and perfect will.

When life seems hard, you are pounded, patted, and pushed, almost beyond endurance; your world seems to be spinning out of control; you feel the fiery furnace of trials; when life seems to "stink"; try this: Brew a cup of your favorite tea in your prettiest tea cup, sit down and have a little talk with the Potter.

Only God


Hebrews 6:10
























Hebrews 6:10
For God is not unjust. He will not forget how hard you have worked for him and how you have shown your love to him by caring for other believers, as you still do.

Live On Purpose


Contemplate your life. Think of the people God put along your path. Fond memories of those He put there for a season. Not so fond memories of those He put there for a reason! All of them to help Propel you into your Purpose!

Follow The Spirit


Many people seek a sympathetic ear and do not find it among Christians, because these Christians are talking even when they should be listening. But Christians who can no longer listen to one another will soon no longer be listening to God either; they will always be talking even in the presence of God.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Every Person Is A Miracle


Best Is Yet To Come


Daniel 10:10-14
Just then a hand touched me and lifted me, still trembling, to my hands and knees. And the man said to me, “Daniel, you are very precious to God, so listen carefully to what I have to say to you. Stand up, for I have been se...
nt to you.” When he said this to me, I stood up, still trembling.

Then he said, “Don’t be afraid, Daniel. Since the first day you began to pray for understanding and to humble yourself before your God, your request has been heard in heaven. I have come in answer to your prayer. But for twenty-one days the spirit prince of the kingdom of Persia blocked my way. Then Michael, one of the archangels, came to help me, and I left him there with the spirit prince of the kingdom of Persia. Now I am here to explain what will happen to your people in the future, for this vision concerns a time yet to come.”

God Helps Us


1 Corinthians 15:56-58 NLT
For sin is the sting that results in death, and the law gives sin its power. But thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ.

So, my dear brothers and sisters, be strong and immovable. Always work enthusiastically for the Lord, for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless.

15 Things To Be Happy

I Can Only Imagine



MercyMe
I can only imagine What it will be like
When I walk By your side

I can only imagine What my eyes will see
When your face Is before me
I can only imagine When that day comes
And I find myself Standing in the Son

Surrounded by Your glory, what will my heart feel
Will I dance for you Jesus or in awe of you be still
Will I stand in your presence or to my knees will I fall
Will I sing hallelujah, will I be able to speak at all
I can only imagine

Believers Bible Study

“Who can hide in secret places so that I cannot see them?” declares the Lord. “Do not I fill heaven and earth?” Jeremiah 23:24

The lady sitting next to me pulled out her electronic tablet and said she wanted to see who showed up to work and what they were doing. Her business was several hundred miles away. She explained that she had cameras throughout the business and key by key she took role and observed what people were doing, as she cruised from department to department. It was indeed a new kind of surveillance system, but it made me think of and older and more comprehensive one.

God sees every single thing we do. He even knows what we think! God is omniscient, a big word that means all-knowing. God sees the good things we do – those things please Him. He also sees the bad things we do – those things displease Him. God wants us to do the right things, like telling the truth, being helpful, using kind words, forgiving people who hurt us, and obeying authority. God sees us make right choices and is pleased when we follow Him instead of others who want us to do wrong.

On the other hand, each one of us has done wrong things that displease God. God has seen our sins and must punish us for them. In love, God sent Jesus to take the punishment for the sins of those who turn from their sin and trust Jesus.

Proverbs 15:3 tells us “The eyes of the LORD are in every place, keeping watch on the evil and the good.” He knows and sees all.

God has given us freedom of choice and is grieved when we sin against Him. He wants us to do right and most important of all, He wants us to accept His Son so that we may have eternal life with Him.

Yes, Jesus sees everything we do. It is useless lying to God or trying to hide from Him because He knows everything and He sees everything. He can see right inside your heart. As my pastor recently said, “Aren’t you glad others don’t know what Jesus knows about you?”

It is important to remember that Jesus loves you. He wants to spend time with you and for you to spend time with Him. That’s why He died on the cross and pay for our sins. We all do things we’re ashamed of at different times. But we can turn to Jesus and ask Him to forgive us and to help us not to do those things any more.

My God Is Awesome



Pastor Charles Jenkins and Fellowship Chicago

My God is Awesome. He can move mountains. Keep me in the valley. Hide me from the rain. My God is Awesome. Heals me when I’m broken. Strength where I’ve been weakened. And forever He will reign

My God is Awesome. Savior of the whole world. Giver of Salvation. By His stripes I am healed. Today I am forgiven. His grace is why I’m living. Praise His Holy name

He’s Mighty, He’s Holy, He’s Great, He's my Deliverer, My Provider, My Protector, and He can move mountains, Keep me in the valley, Hide me from the rain, Heals me when I’m broken, Strengthens where I’ve been weakened, and I Praise His Holy Name!
