"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.

"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.

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.

"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.

A Must See - "The Good Samaritain" By Sandy Edwards

Hi Ken,

While I’ve never met you personally, I want to share with you how God has intertwined you and I together. My sister is Teresa Lindsey from Burleson, TX and she has spoken highly of you and because of this, I’ve been receiving your devotionals for some time. I love it when God speaks to me, especially when it is so clear. Today through your/God’s Daily Devotional, he was very clear.

A couple of weeks ago while on my way to work I found a baby toddling across the road. I picked him up and carried him with me to work because his mother wasn’t anywhere around and we were on a busy street. Since the return of the baby to his mommy, I’ve stayed in touch with this single mom with 2 children. Although, for the past couple of days I’ve been procrastinating calling her, not sure why…….then I received your devotional. God’s timing is always perfect, isn’t it?

God has put me in their life’s for a reason and he has worked through you to encourage me. Thanks for the encouragement and for listening to God’s heart. Please keep Ivy, Liam and James on your prayer list because they too need God’s encouragement and love.

If I never meet you here on earth Ken, please look for me when you get to heaven, we’ll know each other by our hearts.

Opposition

Dear Friends,

I moved to Wilmington, Delaware approximately one year ago and finding myself starting over in a new town knowing very few people.  My heart was determined to make this my best efforts ever as I had faced some disaster through a marital separation and divorce.  I finally learned to take my pain, and use it as a time of reflection to assist me in my efforts to restart my life.  In a short period of time through the blessing of God I have gain tremendous advancement in business, ministry, and my personal life.  Opportunities has opened up, and my dreams are coming true that I thought was lost.  I share my story today in hopes that it will encourage someone that has suffered any type of defeat in life encouraging them that they can get up, and begin again.  What I lost now I see as a gain, as I took the time to evaluate my life so that I would not make the same mistakes again.  What I found as my weakness now has become my strength.  My strength today is in trusting God, and knowing that without Him I can't make it.  How do I know this?  I know this because the pressures, opposition, and life challenges cause me to become fearful, and run from God and my vision instead of turning to him.  I have learned that I can't allow anything to get in the way of my relationship with God, and distract me from the journey that God has me on.  I only need to know that God will take our failures, and use them as the greatest teaching method in our lives.  If we trust God enough to get up and pursue Him, not so much our dream He will bring the pieces of the puzzle together.  God will send people, resources, and blessing our way that you never dreamed of.  He will catch you up with your dream or vision, and as you have the courage to get up and move forward you will find remarkable strength and courage to face the things that ran you off in the first place.  Will the opposition stop by no means, but my resolve and approach to these difficulties has changed.  How do you know that you are journeying in the right direction?  You will know because opposition will stare you in the face, and dare you to move forward and trust God.
