From Whoever to Whosoevers

1 Corinthians 9:19 (The Message)

Even though I am free of the demands and expectations of everyone, I have voluntarily become a servant to any and all in order to reach a wide range of people: religious, nonreligious, meticulous moralists, loose-living immoralists, the defeated, the demoralized—whoever.

Paul said also that he has become all things to all people that he might win a few. Is that your hearts cry to win the lost friend? Look at the break down of the people above, truly it is a wide range, I especially like the last list of folks the"whoevers" Jesus came and died for the prostitute, the Pharisee, the pimp and pusher. He came to die for the housewife, the socialite, the lawyer, doctor and the country western singer and factory worker!!! Jesus came to live, die, and be resurrected for everybody ,but only the "whosoevers" that call on Him shall be saved. Romans 10:13
As you go along your way this week don't let people's outward appearance fool you or intimidate you, He has saved us and called us for such a time as this!!! Will you serve the LORD faithfully this week by serving all those "whoevers" in your life?! You will make somebody's eternity's a more beautiful and pleasant one by doing so (-:

CHRISTian Education

Psalm 51:13 (King James Version)
Then will I teach transgressors Thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto Thee.

Did you know saint of God that in addition to being an Ambassador, you are also a Teacher!
Me?! Yes YOU!!! Every CHRISTian has the responsibility of teaching rebels, backsliders, and sinners the ways of God. Why? So that they will forsake their ways for God's ways, and most importantly so they will be converted, by repenting and returning the One who fashioned them in His image. Now although your methods may vary, God expects you to stick to the Message. Some of you perhaps teach those you come across with Bible truths and pinciples from God's Word through posts on your Facebook, or Twitter. Some of you may be discipling people on your job, neighborhood, or family. It is important to pour out into others as the Spirit leads and directs because God doesn't want anyone to perish, either from lack of knowledge or sin. Make time and take time daily to study a particular subject in the Bible in addition, to memorizing and meditating on Scriptures about Salvation. You cannot teach anyone anything about GOD if you are not willing to study to find out about Him personally. As CHRISTians and Ministers we have nothing to say about anything unless we know deep down inside what GOD has already said about it first and we are living it.
BE PREPARED! What kind of an education do you think your child would get if his/her teacher never went to school and studied? What if they did go to school but they are undisciplined and don't know the subject or just have a light understanding of the subject? What if they didn't have anything prepared to teach your child daily? I think any good parent would want to their child to have the best teacher and education, if that was not possible they would have to find another teacher or school right?! Well God expects us to know about Him, Salvation, Life, Healing, Holines, etc... maybe that's why God is not using you the way you would like Him to because you are lazy, undisciplined, and unprepared. If that is you, YOU can change that today. Ask God first to help you study His Word, then get you some index cards and write down 1-3 Scriptures a week. Meditate on them daily and write them down and re-write them, then begin memorizing them. God is so awesome, He will see you studying, will help you, give you a deeper revelation about it and USE YOU! He NEEDS us to know Him intimately not just about Him. He doesn't want us regurgitating someone else's words or thoughts about life, issues, the after life, success, failures NO!! He doesn't even want us sharing what we think! He wants us to teach them HIS WAYS! Make a committemnt today to God that you will be a student of the Word, you will be diligent to become a habitation for His Word too and not just His Spirit. Watch and see how your relationship and understanding of Him will grow as well as a burning desire to share Him and His ways to others who are in away from Him, in either their thoughts or ways, especially where Salvation is concerned. I cheer you on today as you make the all important decision to be disciplined and deliberate to study and teach others. If we were in church I shout out to you either on the street,the job, the Mall, your house, or your school--- teach TEACHER!!! (-:

Willing to Love


2 Peter 3:9 (21st Century King James Version)

9The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.


Last weeks Bible verse showed us many things...God is not a slacker for one when it comes to His promises, He's logsuffering not willing that any should perish but that all should repent. God is basically saying Hey I'm not like man, I can be trusted to do just what I've told you. It also shows us that God is very, very, merciful and patient. Not willing that ANYONE shuld perish. That's our Daddy right there. There one is no one on earth that has committed an act so vile that God is not willing to forgive, accept for the unpardonable sin. Now this brings us to the LOVE of GOD. It's so utterly amazing God's love that sometimes I can't wrap my head around it. Lets look at this passage of Scripture: Romans 5:8
8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

While we sinning and rejecting God maybe in the club, drinking and cussing like sailors or sleeping with anything that breathed God had already demonstrated His great love for us, He sent us Jesus. THAT'S LOVE!!!! It's loving the unloving and undeserving unconditionally yet always seeking those individuals out with the hopw that they will receive that love and allow God to redeem them. Today seek somebody out and let them know that God loves them (-:

12And there is salvation in and through no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by and in which we must be saved.

The Grandmother and the Gospel

Luke 14:22 & 23
22 And the servant [returning] said, Sir, what you have commanded me to do has been done, and yet there is room.

23Then the master said to the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges and urge and constrain [them] to yield and come in, so that my house may be filled
.


As I have watched and witnessed God's Word just come alive in a special someone, I felt she needed to be honored. This sister has such a heart for God and prayer and people that is truly inspiring. Many talk it few walk it. She is one of the few. She takes what she has and offers it to God and she hits the streets for Him. She is actively DOING verse 23, and she's a Grandmother. Stop and think about that, just go ahead and take a Selah moment.
I wrote once before that if you are active for God He will open doors and make ways for you to reach even more people. He will give you more influence for Kingdom advancement than you could ever dream of and I'm watching it unfold in her life and in my own. Saints of God, all you have to do is do YOUR PART. Don't know for sure what it is? Ask God , He will tell you and He will guide and provide, ministry is His will and He will take care of the bills that come because of it. So who is this person that is living this passage of Scripture out to the fullest that I want to honor? Our very own Lady Bee. I want you all to pray about what God would have you to do to advance the Gospel. This year stretch yourselves and get out there. I would ask you to pray for prayer4every1 and both Lady Bee and myself. We have been increasing steadily in the LORD'S work and He continues to give us more to do for and be involved in Him for Him so I ask that you pray for us when God lays us on your hearts. Make THIS year the year you do more, and obey more...something has shifted in the spiritual realm and we need to shift with it and press in to do all that God has for us to do. (-:

9The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.



2 Peter 3:9 (Amplified Bible)

9The Lord does not delay and is not tardy or slow about what He promises, according to some people's conception of slowness, but He is long-suffering (extraordinarily patient) toward you, not desiring that any should perish, but that all should turn to repentance.



2 Peter 3:9 (New Living Translation)

9 The Lord isn’t really being slow about His promise, as some people think. No, He is being patient for your sake. He does not want anyone to be destroyed, but wants everyone to repent.
