Never Give Up - "No Matter What"

Have you consider giving up?  I know that I get those thoughts from time to time.  What keeps me going is I think about how far I have come, and the effort, and sacrifice that I have made to get to where I am at today.  I can't decide to give up every time something gets challenging.  Most of the time it's through those challenges that I discover knew methods of doing things.  It becomes discouraging, and frustrating when I refuse to change my perspective of how I do things.  I personally have failed more times than I can count, but it doesn't really matter when I finally get it right.  I look back sometimes and laugh at myself, because it wasn't so much the challenge that made it difficult, but my refusal to change.  God will bring me to the blessing, and we must make the commitment within that it's going to be ours.  No weapon, circumstance, person or thing will stop me from getting where God has destined for me to go.  If I have to crawl I am determined to get there.  Today let's make a commitment to ourselves that we are going to be the best version of ourselves, and walk in the flow of God.  We may face some challenges, but we will not give up.

Your Blessing Instruction Manual

Your Blessing Instruction Manual

What if I told you that I could give you a set of instructions on how you can begin to live a life filled with abundant blessing.  No! I did not come up with this formula, and looking to take no credit for anything.  I simple am sharing something with you that I learned from the bible.  A power concept of experiencing abundant blessing.  Before you stop reading bare with me for a moment.  Look at life as if you are one giant seed, and how you live is actually distributing a particular type of seed.  When you decide to live a life filled with selfishness, greed, lies, and deceit it's as if you are planting these types of seeds everywhere you go.  Sooner or later the seeds that you have sown in various places that you have traveled will begin to grow.  Now because of what you have planted you should not be surprise to what begins to grow.  We are blessed everyday, but if you look closely some people are experiencing what we call supernatural blessing.  They receive this because of the type of seeds that they plant in their everyday lives.  They are the type of people who go around sowing, and blessing others, and in return blessing begin to find, and follow them.  This year (2015) lets do something remarkable. Let's do something that will not only bless our lives, but anyone who comes in contact with us.  Let's become one big blessing to others.  NO, I am not talking about money, but what we can begin investing in the lives of those we come in contact with everyday.  A kind word, a hug, listening to someones problems, giving someone a ride, serving dinner to the homeless, or even buying lunch for someone.  The list goes on and on.  This year I am making a declaration to be a blessing to anyone who comes in contact with me.  Anyone willing to join me?  This is going to be my best year yet.

"Being Busy Is No Excuse"

Wow, the year has just come, and gone so very rapidly.  We are now knocking on the doors of 2015, and in the month of December I start doing some reflecting back, and preparing to move forward.  I have been one business person the last couple of months. Being busy is great right - isn't that what makes us seem as if we are productive.  Well I have come to understand that we use the word being busy as an excuse for not doing whatever it is that we should be doing.  I have to admit that I have been so caught up in so many things these last couple of months that I haven't taken the time out for myself like I should.  What does this mean?  They're things that I do daily that keeps me mentally, spiritually, and physically grounded.  Look at it this way.  I have to charge my cell phone daily.  If I missed a day of charging my phone I run the risk of it going dead.  I believe this is the same for myself.  I become more irritated, frustrated, quick to take offense, and the list goes on when I lose sight of keeping myself grounded.  I really don't want to fall into the trap of always using the term I am busy when I should make time to do certain things in my life.  Someone told me recently that when someone tells you that they are to busy, and forgot something what they really are saying is that whatever it is the forgot was just not that important.  I got some work to do, and I am talking about working on myself.  Lastly at the end of each year I come up with a theme for the ministry, and my personal life that I will focus on the whole year.  This year it was "Kingdom Building".  In my next blog I will talk about more about this.

"They Broke In My Place"

On September 1st of this year God blessed me with an opportunity that I had on my heart for years.  Opening a barber shop/hair salon.  Over the summer I was blessed with this opportunity, and much work has gone into it.  The investment of time, money, hard work, and working with others has been an enormous challenge that I have had to face.  Giving people opportunities only to discovery that they want a hand out.  One thing that God has reinforced through this new venture is that many opportunities does present itself, but people are not willing to do the work required or stay dedicated to the task at hand.  Last night I got home early from all my daily activities, and as I sat down my cell phone rang from a 800 number that I didn't recognize.  The number called, back, and I refused to answer because I was going to take this opportunity to rest.  The same number called on a friend of mine, and I thought to myself may I need to see what's going on.  I come to find out that someone had broken into the barber shop/hair salon(Kingdom Kutz & Hair Salon).  I got dressed went over to discover that someone had through a brick through the front door window trying to steal a 40inch television.  I didn't get upset, but realized that anytime you are pressing forward to do some worthy cause to assist others the enemy will always come up against your cause.  Over the years I have learned that the opposition is actually telling you that you are moving in the right direction.  Why would the enemy even be bring opposition to someone already on his team.  Today I was bless to have the repairs done, and the shop looks even better than before. Actually it's even more secure now.  What seemed as a terrible situation turned out in my favor as the hand of God moved like He always do.  They broke in  my place, but was unable to take anything.

KTW Ministries 2014 "Stepping Into Your Destiny"

Are you looking over your shoulder wondering who is following you or are you moving in the direction that God has paved for you. Most people never reach their goal or destiny because they don't have the courage to step away from the crowd or the environment in which they live. 

KTW Kingdom Youth Explosion Event "March 2nd @ 3:30pm"

 

 Preparing for the next "KTW Kingdom Youth Event". Anyone interested in getting involved give me a call Pastor Ken Wilkins 848.222.9999. We are investing in our Youth, Families & Community.

"Live Life On Purpose"

In life we face many challenges, but what if I told you that as each challenge that comes in your life is an opportunity or a stepping stone to where God is taking you.  Some days I feel like giving up.  Some days I want to stay in the bed with the covers over my head.  Other day I don't want to be bothered.  Dealing with those feelings of inadequacy pushes you towards greatness.  No matter what I keep on running. No matter what today I will keep on striving.  NO matter what today I am determined that if I keep on trying I will make something of my life, and influence others.  Take a look around today; listen to the news; read the new articles, and you will hear that someone decided that today was going to be the day that they give up.  No, no, no today is not going to be that day for me.  I am going to lace up my sneakers, and run and live life on purpose.

"I Am Coming Out"

What's keeping you from stepping out into your dreams?  For many years I had one excuse after another why I couldn't do this or that.  I really didn't know what I wanted, but I knew that I wanted change.  I wanted something else for myself.  If I was to get honest I was controlled by so many elements in my environment from people, family, money, and my fears.  I wanted something different, but I would not be able to acquire it with the attitude or mindset that I had.  Education is of know value until you really understand that it's suppose to change you first which equips you to accomplish greater things.  Most of the time we take what we learn in school, or church, and begin to apply it to how others are living instead of using it as a instrument to change ourselves.  You begin to look at life differently as you change.   Your desires change; your wants change, and you realize that aspiring to change is the antidote to having a better life.  People will run to you instead of running from you.  My desire today is to come our from where I am to be all that I can be today.  God show me the way, and I must be willing to leave where I am to go where He shows me.  It's not easy everyday, but it is worth the stepping out into.  I AM COMING OUT OF THE PLACE THAT I AM TODAY INTO THE GREATER THAT GOD HAS FOR ME.

God Bless,

"Your Blessing Is On The Way"

Hello Family,

I have been gone from the blogging scene for a couple months.  I do apologize, but I am back with a new passion going into 2014.  God has been our media ministry to extend it's reach, and moving into 2014 our goal is to invest in others.  I have to say I will never know just how far I can go if I am not willing to step away for the island that I have built for myself to live on.   I have realized something that I never knew before is that the higher you strive to climb the mountain you will have to leave some things behind.  Your friends change, your goals and perspective change.  You realize that most of the things that was important at the beginning now is on the back burner.  Life is really short, and this year I really going to press in to seek God for the power to access the unlimited potential to really reach some people.  Success is not about the building, the money, the or about how many people know me, but being granted the power, and ability to influence others and making a positive impact on their live.  Giving them tools to reach and obtain higher.  I want to ask that you join me this year in the journey to obtain freedom on a new level, and to improve the quality of ones life which translates into changing, and empowering others.  My commitment to you is to pour out myself into blessing you with resources, transparency, and encourage that I believe will assist you in reaching new heights.  Are you ready - let's do this.  Regardless of where you are today - Don't give up.  God has something specifically for you.   One last thing will you join me on Sunday, February 2nd for a event that is guaranteed to change your life.  See the information regarding the event below.

Letting Go Of The Old

I say to myself that I want to go wherever God is taking me.  It's much easier said than done.  If I am going to go where God is leading than I am going to have to let go of some things. (People, places, and things).  It has taken me some time to face this reality.  I have at some point on the surface, but deep withing God is calling me to look deeper within to face my greatest fears.  I can't run from me, and if I am going to elevate to new places I can only take me, and not the mess or toys that I so often want to cling onto.  The more that I evaluate my life I realize that it really comes down to a person journey between me and God.  God is capable of doing all things, and I believe the number one thing he wants me to do is change me.  If I change everything else in my life will change as a result, but so often I want other things to change first.  I truly comes down to a faith walk.  A walk that I must make with God and myself.  Other things will be added, but God wants me so close to Him that regardless of the things added or taken away that I am still capable of keeping my focus on Him.  This day I want to thank God for blessing me with opportunities of change, hope, love, and freedom.

The Benefit of Oppostion

Can I speak with you honestly for a moment?  I have said that I wanted God to bless me with a ministry that would assist others, but I didn't honestly think about the price that I would have to pay to reach those goals.  I realize that I can't approach accomplishing my dreams like most people do.  I have to work harder, sleep much less, and exert myself in all areas to be the best that I can possibly be.   I have faced great opposition, but what has astonished me is that with each opposition that I eventually overcome I have grown by leaps and bounds.  I have learned that giving up is not something that I can afford to even have in my vocabulary these days.  I don't like much of the things that I face, but I am not talking about liking things, but pressing forward regardless of what it looks like, or feel.  At the end of the day I have failed more than I have been successful, but eventually those failures teach me the very lesson that takes me higher.  Opposition I don't like it, but it's a teacher like no other.  If I want to improve my life, ministry, relationships, and walk with God than opposition is the tool that will be used more often than I would like.  We may not be able to direct the wind, but with prayer I can make the necessary adjustment to the sale.

Armed & Dangerous

How do you go about accomplishing your goals starts with you mindset.  Success begins in your perspective in life.  You have to believe regardless of what you see.  You have to press forward regardless of how you feel.  David defeated Goliath because he believe when everyone else was afraid.  I believe today that I will accomplish the impossible not because of what people say or because of my past, but because my eyes are on God.  God will provide wherever He guides is the attitude that I have today.  I am armed and dangerous because I left alone thinking that I can do it within my own strength, and given myself to God.  My failures at one point in time laughing at me because they had me defeated; wanting to give up, but today I have made a effort to tell those failures that you won that round, but you will not win the fight.  This fight of faith that I live God has the finally say.  The ministry continues to grow; my media ministry assignments continue to evolve, and I keep pressing forward to be the best that I can be to meet every challenge head on.  Uncomfortable, fear, concern I am most days, but this will not stop me from putting forth my best effort.  Today I am Armed & Dangerous because I have God on my side.  What about you?  What are you going to do today.  Rise up or run away?  Give up or keep pressing on?  I choose to stand, and continue to press and do my best.

Double For Your Trouble

Many times the challenges that we face is God's way of redirecting our lives, and taking us to new places.  What seems as a setback is God's method of catapulting us into new places.  As I reflect back of all the things that God has brought me through I must truly say that He has had His hand on my life.  I am really learning to stay in the center and not venture out on the edge where I put myself in situations that I can fall of the edge or cliff.  Life has enough trouble of its own, and today I am focusing on allowing God to direct my life.  What's interesting is that at times I really thing in my mind that I know what's best.  When I come to my senses I say what in the world was I thinking.  It has never worked out before, and I always end up coming back to the source of power God.  God has done a remarkable work in me, but I realize more and more that there is still much work left to be done.  I have had my share of trouble, but honestly God has truly repaid me double.  New places, new things, new opportunities, increased finances, new friends, and resources.  These are just a few of the things that I am believing God for these days.  The reality is that I can wait of God, but at times God is waiting on me to center myself in His grace.  I have been recently blessed with an incredible opportunity to be a part of The Art Institute of Philadelphia.  It is truly a blessing from heaven.  Double For My Trouble - the hard work, dedication, and perseverance is really paying off.  Thanks God for seeing me through.

When Wrong Becomes Right

This past week God has shown me something within that I am taking very seriously, and adding to my tool box of life. I can take you to places you never dreamed, and do great things with your life, but the question I needed to answer would be who would I be representing.  You see it everyday on the news stations, magazines in shopping lines, and it goes viral on the internet.  People are afforded the blessing of getting to great places on the outside, but fail because they are not developed on the inside.  Sounds corny you may be saying, but think about it.  If God is going to do something with my life I come to the understanding that God wants me to grow in wisdom, and understanding.  What seems right to most people who are not in the family of God just doesn't sit right with me.  I have asked myself what am I going through God.  Am I being to hard on myself these days.  God can take us to remarkable places, but it's a place that the baggage in our lives can't go.  The luggage got to go or I will forfeit the blessing.  It becomes very difficult to rise to new places carrying around excess baggage.  I must say that opportunities for growth, advancement, and blessing is there for the taking, but who is willing to go beyond the norm to receive it.  Faith is a seed and if planted in good soil will produce an abundance.  What am I saying in this blog today?  For years I have operated in dysfunctional behaviors.  I didn't mean any harm, but it was a system of living used to protect myself from the world.  I had been hurt, misled, swindled, and the list goes on.  I had operated in those behaviors for so long that even though they were wrong they now had become right.  As I have journeyed with God things has changed big time.  I am believing that it's my season, and God is taking me to new places.  Great news, but as I elevate I want to operate and share God blessing with others.  I am letting go of some more baggage so that I can travel light.  If you are reading this blog today God is about to bless your life in a remarkable way, but what are you going to do with it.   Remember this that anything you give up for God you will get back 100% in this life.

Don't Take The Bait

I find that if I am going to be successful in my spiritual, and personal life I have to be willing to face those temptations or issues in my life that pull me off course from the direction that God is leading me.  They're times when I feel as though things are really going well in life, but beware of the traps, or how the enemy will bait me in through appealing to areas of weakness in my life.  Things at times look so appealing with the eyes, and even seems like a great opportunity, but it's a trap to take me off course.  All business is not good; just like all winks of the eye, and smiles are not innocent.  Success, and greatness has a price, and it means dealing with the chaos quickly, filtering out the good from the bad,  and not allowing myself to become entangled into webs or traps that will kill my dream or the direction God is leading me.  I can handle it; no one will know are all traps and tricks the enemy loves to feed the mind to entangle me, and take me down a road away from my  destiny.  Many times I find that I am traveling on this journey all alone even though I have many friends.  They're certain things I have had to sacrifice, walk away from, endure without telling my peers, and even smile when in much discomfort.  I have learned these things the hard way, because in my younger years I was so easily distracted by worldly things.  At times my journey gets tough, but I must say that my challenges has changed.  I have had some growing pains, but they have help develop me into a man of purpose, and responsibility.  Today I will pass on taking the bait the enemy throws my way.  I can't make any promises about tomorrow, but as for today I will pass.

Calm In The Storm "Navigating My Way Through"

Trust is not something that is given it's developed.  Through the years I ask myself what has been my most difficult challenge.  If the truth be told it's in trusting God.  Sometimes things comes in my life and appears one way to ME, but God can be using it for a vehicle of change or to challenge me in the area of my trusting Him.  Losing myself in God means allowing myself to go where He leads.  The problem that I often face is thinking or believing that it is suppose to be a particular way.  That's when my way of thinking, reasoning, and perspective becomes a problem.  God continues to challenge me in trusting Him in where He is taking me.  What appears to be a storm to me can actually be a means of God taking me towards an opportunity if I allow myself to be driven by trusting Him.  I can choose to run for the oppositions, challenges or difficulties that come my way or I can choose to get in the eye of the storm by trusting God.  God will work out the outcome for me in His favor which will display His power, and glory.  I must die to my agenda, my way, and believe that God is taking me to a  much brighter future or place.  It's very sad when we give up or walk away, because it's just not going the way that we would like it.  What's funny when I really get honest is that God is more concern with developing my character than the challenge itself.  The door usually opens when my character aligns itself up the opportunity.  Why try to kick the door in when God will open it when I am ready.  Some people look at a situation as a storm while others an opportunity.  I believe the difference lies within our perspective of who God is.  God continues to navigate me through as the responsibility level increases, and as He takes me to new places.

"Get A Handle On Those Emotions"

Have you ever thought about how your emotions if not put in check can take you hostage?  As I continue to grow, and new opportunities come my way it's imperative that I take the time to develop myself on the inside as growth takes place on the outside.  New opportunities bring about added responsibility, and if we don't take the time to develop ourselves inwardly we risk blowing new opportunities that arise.  Over the years I have had my set of challenges, but what I am discovering is that with each one that I learn to work my way through it takes me higher.  I have actually failed at opportunities because I was unprepared for the responsibility, and my emotions got the best of me.  Now I can understand when we pray to God for certain things He delays the process to give us time to cultivate ourselves preparing us for the next place, venture, responsibility that we will face.  I would rather not have something if I am only going to lose it, and have God give it to me when I am ready.  You know what is even funnier to me at times in life God will bring you back to a place that you faltered, to give you an opportunity to take the test again.  It amazing when you finally get it, and the revelation comes.  I got it God - I finally got it.  I must tell you that I laugh at myself more now than I have ever done before especially when a circumstance, person, or thing gets the best of me, and I know that I lost that battle because I didn't surrender on the inside first.  I dust myself off, and say God okay teach me on the next round that I may grow in your grace.  What I have discovered is whenever we are unwilling to deal with your personal issues  in private they will embarrass you in public.  I am attending school full time, business/ministry is growing, and things in my life has changed significantly over the last year.  I am in deep waters my friends, and at times my emotions tell me I can't, but God tells me I got you my friend just keep striving.  You will be just fine.

How Do You Obtain Success?

 

Everyone is striving for success.  How do we obtain success I believe is the question that many of us needs answered?  Everything that we go through in life prepares us for success.  The hardships, the disappointments, the setbacks, and the failures all play a part in us reaching our goals and being successful.  These somewhat discouraging elements actually does something on the inside of us when we learn the significance of pressing forward regardless.  They build character, faith, perseverance, and the most important of them all is when we arrive to that place of added responsibility we are prepared on the inside.  I have had more disappointments this year than successes, but what's beginning to manifest is the glory of God.  God continues to keep me, provide for me, and has shown me that it's through the hardships of life that He brings about new glory.  Last week I encountered a disappointment that was a crushing blow, but I got up dusted myself off and said God let do this thing.  All thing work together for the good of those who love the Lord.  Romans 8:28.  I want to encourage someone today that regardless of what challenge you may be facing right now it's okay, and will work its way out, but don't give up.  Success is obtain through failure, and disappointment not just taking a route towards your goal, and arriving without any challenges.

"Do You Hear The Cry For Help"

Many times in my journey I feel like I really am not making a difference in the lives of anyone.  Why do I continue doing what I am doing?  Does anyone really care?  Am I wasting my time?  I can't speak for anyone else, but there are times when these thoughts go through my head.  This past Sunday at church God used my pastors message to reinforce that I am impacting lives, and that people within our communities are crying out for help especially our children.  The above video will assist you in looking at your own children, and children within our communities in a different way.  It will also help you with evaluating yourself.  When I look out into our communities I see many things, but most people are more concerned with themselves than the next man.  Someone has to be concern for our children, young adults, or even people who have lost their way.  I got some work that I need to do.

"Change Adds Up Into Something.........?"

Last year I decided to start taking my daily change from broken dollar bills and put it into a jar.  I never thought about how much I had I just continued the process.  One day months later while I was cleaning I tried to move the jar, and realized that I had accumulated quit a bit of change.  The small amounts that I placed in the jar over a period of time had added up in a large amount.  What I have now decided to do is take this same principle and implement it into my life.  Each day, week, and moth I strive to change a small thing about myself.  I have committed to working on this one thing for a period of time until I have mastered this change.  I then move onto something else.  This very simple principle has taken my life in a new direction mentally, physically, spiritually, and from a  business perspective.  Change can be so subtle that it can go unnoticed, but continue advancing forward and before you know it will transform your life.  I get frustrated, and discouraged at times, but it doesn't deter me from continuing to preserver.  What I can honestly say is that this method is transforming my life.
