Bishop Jakes: The Purpose Of God Is Stronger Than Men's Problems

Bishop Jakes: God's Purpose

“Don’t covet someone’s blessing because you don’t know what comes with it.”. He said that!🙏🏾I want MY blessing, not yours or anyone else’s.

God has enough blessings for everyone, so it's beyond me as to why I or anyone else would want someone else's shine. Like the old school song says, What God Has For Me, It Is For Me. I don't want your blessing, and you shouldn't want mine. You enjoy your blessing, I enjoy mine, that's it.

The Devil Is A Crutch

Sometimes, believers give the enemy too much credit. Every time a Christian gets into it with somebody, the first thing they say is "the enemy is working through that person" The enemy cannot work through willing participants. People allow themselves to be used by Satan. Is Satan putting a gun to your head to make you act stupid? No, you did that yourself. Christians need to stop giving the devil credit.

Throwback Thursday: Fake Love

That's called fake love, and people can smell fakery from miles away. I hear & read about people boohooing at funerals over someone's death and when others point out the fakery, I think to myself "You love them now, but didn't show love while they were alive."

If folks will lie for you, they’ll lie on you.

Living For Jesus vs. Living For Satan

I pulled this out of the archives because it's a good topic to discuss. I'm talking to believers because every Christian has felt this way at times, myself included. You go through persecution as a believer; at times you feel like foolishness is coming at you from all directions, so you get to a point and wonder if it's worth going through all this just to be called God's child. Then God shows himself faithful over and over and you realize that it's worth going through hell to get to heaven. It may be easier living for Satan, but living for him will lead to your demise. I remember whenever I did something wrong and got in trouble for it, my mom would tell me the devil is sitting back laughing at you. The devil blesses his people just like God does, but the devil's "blessings" come at a cost, your soul. When you get saved, you've got a target on your back. The people you ran with may see you differently, and probably walk out of your life, your standing may be affected, etc. It may cost to live for Jesus, but it costs more to live for Satan.
