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.

"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.

"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.

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.

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.

"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.

The Enemy Whispers

 



If you are striving to achieve anything of a worthy cause you can best believe that the enemy will bring about opposition to keep you from advancing forward.  A huge plight of mine is to continue to grow in the wisdom of God, and advance my technology skillset which will  assist me in helping others to discovery God, grow personally, and advance their businesses or ministries.  I have made significant advancement, but I am learning that there is a price to pay if you are in the business of Kingdom agenda.  This past week the devil was about his business as usual whispering deceptive lies to discourage me as new opportunities are opening up.  Why are you even wasting your time with what you are doing?  No one cares about this God stuff.  You care more about people than they do about you.  Everyone is out for self while you want to help people.  The list goes on and on, but this is my point.  If I take the time to listen to this nonsense that the devil whispers from time to time he'll have me believing that I can't do what it is that God has called me to do.  Honestly I have fell for those whispers before and forfeited my blessing only to have to come back to that same point to face that challenge again.  The enemy at times bombards our mind with worthless lies to sabotage our dreams, and destiny.  I want to encourage someone today to don't believe that lies, and continue striving, seeking God, believing in your dreams or vision, and know that God will provide you with the means to take you to the place that He has predestined for you.

No Longer A Hostage

How do you put back together the pieces after the bottom has fallen out of your life.  It's been a gradual process for me, but I believe I am making process.  I had to learn that in order for me to be successful I needed to learn healthy coping skills, and habits.  If I practice them daily I am better equipped when challenges do come my way.  I am not saying that it's easy, but I am learning that I can't depend or trust my own abilities.  They only can get you but so far, and it's the grace, and empowerment of God that sustains me daily.  For some time I believe that the greatest challenge was me facing me, and accepting the mistakes, and challenges that I ran away from due to fear.  I have learned that through it all I am still standing, therefore giving me living evidence that God does love and care for me.  My past has been a great teacher in letting me know that if nothing around me changes I need to change giving me the best opportunity to be all that I can be.  Today if you are facing difficulities, or challenges please know that God has designed them to captapult you to new heights.  I choose not to be a hostage of my past.
