The Irony: Music Groups Split Due To Ego

It’s ironic that New Edition and other successful music groups started out as childhood friends from the same hood, but split because egos got in the way. Fame & fortune can be a curse, just like a blessing. 

Throwback Thursday: Looking Out For Those Who Want To See You Down

You can't go up looking out for those who want to see you down. 

America is NOT 1 Nation Under God

Sorry to offend some Christians, but America lost the right to be 1 Nation Under God when God was removed from American society. Here’s a repost from Charity Israel:

PSA: AMERICA is not a nation under God. It's a wicked nation with Godly people in it. With that being said, we should not expect people who do not belong to God to honor His word. The Bible was written for those who claim to be his; and it is teaches those who love him how to conduct themselves in a world that doesn't love Him. Until we understand this we'll be demanding righteousness from people who are under no obligation to live that way.  The word is the standard for living for CHRISTIANS not the world. Our "righteous policing" is for those claiming to be His. Our love is for everyone so they'll know we are His, and he loves them. Our salvation is for anyone who calls on His name to be saved. Let's focus on the salvation of this wicked nation before demanding it lives like it.

Note: We can return to being 1 Nation if we repent from our wickedness.

Tuesday Gospel

 You have nothing to prove to anyone, just prepare for victory and win.

Look For Someone On Your Level

 6/26: This is for men & women. I'm sick of men & women having a laundry list of standards for a mate that THEY don't have themselves. How can you require of another person what you don't have to give yourself? That's that craziness right there. If you're a nickel, look for a nickel. If you're a dime, look for a dime and if you are a quarter, look for a quarter. Catch my drift? Men and women should look for mates comparable to them and then focus on growing together.

Independent Ministry

 Independent ministers have more freedom to preach God's word the way it was intended: Uncompromising truth.

Saturday Thought

Reconcilation doesn't always mean restoring the broken relationship. Besides, do you really want to fix a broken relationship with someone who has done something so foul against you? 

Friday Gospel

 Who Is God? Promise Maker & Keeper. Every promise God makes, he keeps if we’re in covenant with him.

Instead of finding fault, we should praise God.

Throwback Thursday: In My Experience

In my experience, adults who say they're grown act nothing like it. Examples: Gossiping, vindictive behavior, jealousy, snide comments, manipulation, etc. Grow Up people, seriously. It's not a good look.

Who Is God?

 Who Is God? Promise Maker & Keeper. Every promise God makes, he keeps if we’re in covenant with him.

No Enemies=Peace

 A man without enemies is a man at peace ✌️

Monday Thought: Fake Apologies

Any apology that begins or ends with “If I hurt anyone” isn’t genuine. At this point, you might as well not apologize if you’re not going to OWN your mistake.

Let People Off The Hook

Repost from a FB friend’s page

Somebody needs to hear this and it’s true. I didn’t start to prosper until I let go of grudges and hate. 

Good morning and Praise The Lord it’s Friday!? 👋🏽👋🏽👋🏽 Today’s Scripture 

“And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of His glory in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:19)

LET PEOPLE OFF THE HOOK

God has seen everything that’s happened in your life—the injustice, the bad breaks”, the person who did you wrong. Those people cannot pay you back. They cannot make you whole. No matter how good a person is, they can’t give you everything you need. Only God can meet your needs. He said He will give you beauty for ashes. He said He will pay you back double for the unfair things that have happened. Quit LOOKING TO PEOPLE to make it up to you. Quit trying to get somebody to apologize, to admit they were wrong, to give you what they don’t have. When you let people off the hook and quit trying to make them perform perfectly and keep you fixed, not only will their life be better, but your relationships will improve.

Let people off the hook. If you GO TO GOD, He WILL bring you out better. He WILL make the rest of your life more rewarding and more fulfilling than if those negative things hadn’t happened in the first place.

A Prayer for Today

“Father, thank You that You made me to be complete and fulfilled in You alone. Help me to realize when I’m looking to others to give me what only You can give and to let them off the hook. I believe and declare that I find everything I need in You. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

Sunday Thought: Extroverts Worried About Introverts

 Daily Thought: Extroverts are more worried about introverts than the reverse. 9 times out of 10, extroverted people can’t stand to see a quiet person who prefers to be low key. We see you…we (introverts) know how fake you are.👀👀👀

Morning Thought: Finding Fault vs. Praising God

 Instead of finding fault, we should praise God. I’ll admit, it’s easier finding fault than praising God because we don’t like what’s going on in our lives, but if we’re locked in with God, he’ll always see us through.

Let God Heal

 It doesn’t matter how God chooses to heal, what matters is we’re open to his healing power, however it comes.

Being The Man

 If a man can be the man in bed, he can be the man as a father, with the finances, in the living room or in the office.

Tuesday Prayer

“Father, thank You that when things don’t go according to my plans, I can know that You are working behind the scenes and in charge of my steps. Thank You that You love me too much to leave me on my own. I believe that You will work all of these things together for my good. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.” 

Monday Thought

 Some Christian women claim to want a man chasing after Jesus, but if he puts God over her, she will be slighted.

Sunday Message

 You can think yourself right out of an opportunity. It's ok to make smart decisions but at the same time, know when to move.

Proverbs 17:4

 This is why you gotta pay attention to who people hang with and listen to…

Why did they sit there and listen to lies about you?

The Bible tells you! 

“The wicked enjoy fellowship with others who are wicked; liars enjoy liars.” Proverbs 17:4. 

Living Translation 

“An evildoer listens closely to wicked lips;

And a liar pays attention to a destructive and malicious tongue.”

The Amplified

Friday Sermon

 Thought Of The Day: Since when did it become acceptable for a MAN to sponge off a woman? He's not pulling his weight, leaving her with the household expenses and her stupid self co-signs. A woman has no right to catch feelings because she's enabling him. I can't fault him for sponging off her because she allowed it. Tell him to tighten up or he has to find somewhere else to live or someone else to sponge off of.

Humble Yourself Before God Does

 #HUMBLE #YOURSELF #BeforeGODdoes 

NO ONE and I mean NO ONE!  is better than anyone else, and my heart is sad for those who think they are. No matter how big your house is, how new your car is, or how much money sits in your bank account - we all bleed red and will eventually fade from this earth. Death has no discrimination, and neither should your life.

     Be kind to others. We are all here to serve. Stop the power tripping. Your oversized ego won’t get you anywhere.

Be humble and kind! 

      Very few will read this far, but if you’re genuine, I challenge you to copy.  Most won’t because they’re the type of people I’m talking about. 💯

We all need to be reminded of this. I totally agree.

Let The Past Stay There

Mark Wahlberg is still being crucified for his hate crimes in the 80s. I feel bad for him because he's constantly apologized for his mistakes & folks won't let him slide. The lesson is that people will hold your past against you although you have changed for the better. 

Today’s Message: Good Without God

All the good we do doesn’t mean anything without a relationship with God. 

June 5, 2023: God Is Calling You

UVB Word For Today

*Today God is calling you (3)*

5 June 2023

*‘‘I have prayed for you, that your faith will not fail.’’*

Luke 22:32 NASB

God wants you to do His will, but you’ll never reach the place of spiritual maturity in which you’re ‘Satan-free’. You can overcome him, but you can’t eliminate him. Look at Peter. He had only one gear: overdrive. He was always in the middle of everything that was going on, but he wasn’t always on top of things. The man who ended up leading the church, first denied being a disciple of Jesus. Pretty shocking, eh? But nothing about us surprises God. He doesn’t call you and say, ‘I hope you’re the right person.’ No; Jesus told Peter, *‘Satan has demanded to sift you…like wheat; but I have prayed for you, that your faith may not fail’* (vv. 31-32 NASB). Isn’t that an amazing revelation? Even when you don’t know how to pray for yourself, Jesus is praying for you. *‘He ever liveth to make intercession for them’* (Hebrews 7:25 KJV). Jesus told Peter, *‘When you have turned back, strengthen your brothers’* (Luke 22:32 NASB). Out of the mess you’re in today can come a ministry to others. Not only can God turn your life around, He can use you to turn the lives of others around too. And one more thing: God isn’t apt to think you’re worth ‘sifting’ if you aren’t doing something right in the first place. Sifting is a method of purifying, of straining out the debris and refining what remains. That means there had to be something worth salvaging in you at the outset. *Today God is calling you. Don’t waste another moment; surrender your life to Him.*

*Bible in a Year: 2 Kings 15-16, Acts 10:24-48* 

Love Is Not Letting People Walk Over You

 Stop letting people walk all over you and calling it LOVE. #NopeWontDoThat⬆️

Malcolm X: Black Genocide

 

I will always stand on this, and don't care who's slighted. There was a code among old-school gangsters that you DO NOT attack women & children. Whatever issue you had, it was settled between the MEN. Now, these cowards will go after families to get to the man. Anyway, Malcolm X was spot on. Blacks have enough enemies outside their race, they don't need to be warring with each other.

Friday Thought

If your energy is off, I will not rock with you! 

Thursday Message

 Stop encouraging reconciliation from people who aren’t sorry for their mistakes!
