Prime Minister

Joseph, a young man of seventeen, was tending the flocks with his brothers, the sons of Bilhah and the sons of Zilpah, his father's wives, and he brought their father a bad report about them.

 3 Now Israel loved Joseph more than any of his other sons, because he had been born to him in his old age; and he made a richly ornamented  robe for him. 4 When his brothers saw that their father loved him more than any of them, they hated him and could not speak a kind word to him.
 5 Joseph had a dream, and when he told it to his brothers, they hated him all the more. 6 He said to them, "Listen to this dream I had: 7 We were binding sheaves of grain out in the field when suddenly my sheaf rose and stood upright, while your sheaves gathered around mine and bowed down to it."
 8 His brothers said to him, "Do you intend to reign over us? Will you actually rule us?" And they hated him all the more because of his dream and what he had said.
 9 Then he had another dream, and he told it to his brothers. "Listen," he said, "I had another dream, and this time the sun and moon and eleven stars were bowing down to me."
 10 When he told his father as well as his brothers, his father rebuked him and said, "What is this dream you had? Will your mother and I and your brothers actually come and bow down to the ground before you?" 11 His brothers were jealous of him, but his father kept the matter in mind.(Genesis 37:2-11).


Later Joseph gets sold to Potiphar. Potiphar's wife tries to seduce Joseph but Joseph runs away from her. And then was sent to prison. Joseph had all the reasons to blame God and to desist from the dreams that God had given him. Many people they have dreams but either don't do anything about it because it's too hard or they don't want to fight for it. Many people look at the circumstances and then they stop fighting for their dreams. But what if instead of looking at the problems and circumstances we look at the victory. What will happen then would you  think we would be able to go towards our dreams? We intend to lose a blessing simply because we don't want to fight for our goals. People who go towards their goals are successful because they are willing to sacrifice and give up anything for it. Joseph after going through all these injustice he still went after his goal and he became prime minister of Egypt.

Decision, Decisions Why!!!


Many people hate making Decisions.

1. One decision can change your entire life story

2. People might hate you

3. People may be happy for you

4. People may be dissapointed

And there are many other more reason why a person might hate making decisions. We have to understand that making decisions is for our benefit and not others. Sometimes we make a decision just to please our friend, mother or father. Everything that we do and sacrafice is for us and no one else. Althought, sometimes it can be pretty tough when making a decision believe me i have been there. We have to understand that making a decision is very powerful, life is about taking decisions and having faith. Its our decision if we want to make our marriage work or not. Its all about the decision we make. So what decision are you going to make. If you have any stories you want to share with people about making a decsision you are welcome to share juts write me a message and i will upload it.

Girls Now-A-Days!

As time passes girls are loosing more and more of their discretion. Back then so many young girls and woman were very obedient to their husbands or to any one. Now lets think about today. I see many girls who wear short skirts open shirts and so on and so forth. They try to get all this attention from guys and its just ridiculus. Many girls now a days have no respect for them selves or anyone

Pointing Fingers!

Many times when we first start going to church there are always going to be people who will lie about you who will say things that you did not do. But why does that happen if we are doing something good for God? Well the answer is more than clear, because the devil does not want you to serve God. Because the devil wants you to worship him more than God. The devil wants to be exalted so he tries to mix the word of God or makes thing that are bad look good so in that way he could be exalted.

Job’s Test: Read Job 1:6-22

Job was a good servant of God. He had everything he need and he did not have sickness or lived in poverty. One day the devil came to God and told him that if he take everything materialize that Job had, he would surley curse him "But stretch out your hand and strike everything he has, and he will surley curse you to your face" (Job 1:11). As we can see later in Job 1: 22 he did not curse him and he stayed firm and got everything he had doubled.

Us Today:

Well many people tell them-selves well if I serve God nobody will say anything or hurt me because i follow God right? WRONG!!! More things are going to come your way and more than before because the devil will rise against us. Many times the devil uses our family to attack. They expect us to be perfect because we go to church and expect us to be perfect which is impossible. And for everything that we do they say "And you go to church?" Well like I always say “We are not going to change from one day to another" But every moment that we live we should be a living sacrifice in front of peoples eyes and especially Gods eyes. The devil is always going to try to get a moment that you do something wrong so he could start pointing fingers. So let’s not give reason for people to point fingers. So we can exalt God and honor him.

In Faith,

Getting a Physical Check-up

Many times we think and believe that God is the one who parts from us but in reality it’s us who parts from him. We stop fasting and praying, and we don’t feel the same anymore for the work of God. We always have to be with our eyes wide open to see what’s harming our spiritual life. It is like getting a physical check-up only spiritually.

For Example;

There are two girls who have a disease that they do not know of yet. They both go to the clinic to get a physical. The doctor tells them “you have a disease, we could cure it but you have to put your part” both of the girls were determine and were going to do everything there was in their part to defeat the disease. Only that one of the girls little by little stop doing what the doctor was asking so the disease started to take over her whole body and life in many aspects. She wasn’t able to run and do things she used to do. On the other hand the other girl was able to defeat the disease and she was victorious and successful. Just like the bible says “But you, be strong and do not let your hands be weak, for your work shall be rewarded!” 2 Chronicles 15:7

Point:

We always have to check on our spiritual life like as if we are getting a physical check-up. If there is any doubt, insecurity or people who will hurt you and take you to the wrong path you should cut it “Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.” (Ephesians 6:11-12). We always have to see with our spiritual eyes and not phisical.
