Ye-centricity
Instead of life being all about me, life must be all about Jesus. And, as a channel of Jesus’ love and mercy, I cannot allow MYSELF to become clogged up with MY SELF.

The Man with the Palsy | Deeds vs. Declarations: How do you see your brother?
What will we do to help those in need? If the society is in decay, what will you do to stop it? The world grows darker only when our (believers) lights grow dimmer.
Gladly!
For the Christian, thanksgiving is not just a day but a way of life.
God knew you BEFORE you knew yourself | God Chose you BEFORE you chose Him!
We are ALL chosen by God to do SPECIFIC work here on earth. God laid out a unique plan for each one of us before we were born.
Chosen by God, Obedient by Choice
Each and every believer has been chosen by God to do SPECIFIC work in His Kingdom, here on earth… God’s blueprint for your life is there but you will only find it if you are willing to seek it out. And, you will only seek it out if you really want to serve Him.
The Parable of the Sheep and the Goats: “Do I value others enough to put their needs above mine?”
Love is neither theoretical nor abstract. The lover pays a price to love the loved. Jesus gave His life and thereby proved His love for us. He didn’t, and indeed couldn’t, just stay in Heaven and wish us into salvation; a price had to be paid. We too must be willing to pay any price to love our brethren…
Measuring Up.
To measure up, we must exercise all the faith God has given us. If you have been given the faith to move mountains, then move them around… If you have the faith to sweep the church, don’t settle for sweeping a pew. If you have the faith to witness to many, don’t settle for telling a few… God expects us to… attain our full faith potential.
Reflections in Nehemiah: The Butler Did It!
Scholarship and other human accomplishments are not what qualify us for joining God’s workforce. God looks for devotion over degrees, desire over duty, enthusiasm over experience, fellowship over fame, and connection (to Him) over ‘connections’.
God used a butler
To build a city wall;
He can use you too,
If you answer His call.
Reflections in Nehemiah: Feeling The Good Hand of God
The key to experiencing the Good Hand of God upon me is to discover His will for me and to walk in it.
The Parable of the Talents… “We are NOT saved by works, BUT we are saved to do works”
Salvation is NOT gained by works.. But works testify that salvation HAS taken place… “Faith without works is dead”.
