And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity. Faith, hope, and love. Three wonderful gifts from our Heavenly Father. By faith, we believe and receive God’s grace. By hope we live, secure in our right standing with God. And both are made possible only by God’s unconditional and unending love for us. Love is the essence of God’s being. And the more we rest in God’s love, the more our lives reflect His love, bearing witness to the reason for our faith and hope. Thank You for loving us, God. It is by Your love that You have given us faith to believe and hope for eternity. Teach us to grow in Your love, and to live a life of love toward You and toward others. And may Your love working through us be a beacon of hope for others, that they might come to faith, too. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

The power of miracles succeeds where the power of nature succumbs. And the charity of men concurred with the mercy of God for the relief of the distressed in our lives. Yes!! The apostle John wrote this very important incidence to explained and open our eyes widely concerning our actions in life and he said in John: 5. 1-18 that, After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches. In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.. For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had. And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years. When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole? The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me. Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk. And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath. The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed. He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk. Then asked they him, What man is that which said unto thee, Take up thy bed, and walk? . And he that was healed wist not who it was: for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in that place. Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee. The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, which had made him whole. Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.
Some people think it was near the temple, and, if so, it yielded a melancholy but profitable spectacle to those that went up to the temple to pray . How it was called: It was a pool (a pond or bath), which is called in Hebrew, Bethesda—the house of mercy; for therein appeared much of the mercy of God to the sick and diseased. In a world of so much misery as this is, it is well that there are some Bethesdas—houses of mercy (remedies against those maladies), that the scene is not all melancholy, that it had been used for washing from ceremonial pollutions, for convenience of which the porches were built to dress and undress in, but it was lately become medicinal. How it was fitted up: It had five porches, cloisters, piazzas, or roofed walks, in which the sick lay. Thus the charity of men concurred with the mercy of God for the relief of the distressed. I want you to understand that Nature has provided remedies to our sickness and troubles but we must provide hospitals. How it was frequented with sick and cripples, In these lay a great multitude of impotent folks. How many are the afflictions of the afflicted in this world! How full of complaints are all places, we always complain and never appreciate God for giving us another day of life and look at what types of multitudes of impotent folks! It will be a good idea to visit the hospitals sometimes, that we may take occasion, from the calamities of others, to thank God for our comforts. The evangelist specifies three sorts of diseased people that lay here, blind, halt, and withered or sinew shrunk, either in one particular part, as the man with the withered hand, or all over paralytic. These are mentioned because, being least able to help themselves into the water, they lay longest waiting in the porches. Those that were sick of these bodily diseases took the pains to come far and had the patience to wait long for a cure; any of us would have done the same, and we ought to do so: and as individuals we must rather become wise enough to find the spiritual healing for our souls, and be solicitous to get our spiritual diseases healed! We are all by nature impotent folks in spiritual things, blind, halt, and withered; but effectual provision is made for our cure if we will but observe orders. What virtue it had for the cure of these impotent folks .An angel went down, and troubled the water; and whoso first stepped in was made whole. That this strange virtue in the pool was natural, or artificial rather, and was the effect of the washing of the sacrifices, which impregnated the water with I know not what healing virtue even for blind people, and that the angel was a messenger, a common person, sent down to stir the water, is altogether groundless; there was a room in the temple on purpose to wash the sacrifices in. It is generally agree that the virtue this pool had was supernatural. The preparation of the medicine by an angel, who went down into the pool, and stirred the water. Angels are God’s servants, and friends to mankind; and perhaps are more active in the removing of diseases (as evil angels in the inflicting of them) than we are aware of. Raphael, the apocryphal name of an angel, signifies medicina Dei—God’s physic, or physician rather. See what mean offices the holy angels condescend to, for the good of men. If we would do the will of God as the angels do it, we must think nothing below us but sin. The troubling of the water was the signal given of the descent of the angel, as the going upon the tops of the mulberry trees was to David, and then they must bestir themselves. The waters of the sanctuary are then healing when they are put in motion. Ministers must stir up the gift that is in them. When they are cold and dull in their ministrations, the waters settle, and are not apt to heal. The angel descended, to stir the water, not daily, perhaps not frequently, but at a certain season; some think, at the three solemn feasts, to grace those solemnities; or, now and then, as Infinite Wisdom saw fit. God is a free agent in dispensing his favors. The operation of the medicine: Whoever first stepped in was made whole. here is, miraculous extent of the virtue as to the diseases cured; what disease soever it was, this water cured it. Natural and artificial baths are as hurtful in some cases as they are useful in others, but this was a remedy for every malady, even for those that came from contrary causes. The power of miracles succeeds where the power of nature succumbs. A miraculous limitation of the virtue as to the persons cured: He that first stepped in had the benefit; that is, he or they that stepped in immediately were cured, not those that lingered and came in afterwards. This teaches us to observe and improve our opportunities, and to look about us, that we slip not a season which may never return. The angel stirred the waters, but left the diseased to themselves to get in. God has put virtue into the scriptures and ordinances, for he would have healed us; but, if we do not make a due improvement of them, it is our own fault, we would not be healed. Now this is all the account we have of this standing miracle; It was a type of the Messiah, who is the fountain opened; and was intended to raise people’s expectations of him who is the Sun of righteousness, that arises with healing under his wings. These waters had formerly been used for purifying, now for healing, to signify both the cleansing and curing virtue of the blood of Christ, that incomparable bath, which heals all our diseases. The waters of Siloa We are all by nature impotent folk in spiritual things, blind, halt, and withered; but full provision is made for our cure, if we attend to it. An angel went down, and troubled the water; and what disease soever it was, this water cured it, but only he that first stepped in had benefit
THIS TEACHES US TO BE CAREFUL, THAT WE LET NOT A SEASON SLIP WHICH MAY NEVER RETURN. SHALL WE CONTINUE COMPLAINING ABOUT OUR WEARISOME NIGHT AND DAY WHEN THERE ARE MANY OTHERS WORSE THAN WE ARE? WE SIT DOWN AND JUDGE OURSELVES BY BLAMING GOD AND OTHER PEOPLE FOR NOT HELPING US WITHOUT MAKING ANY POSITIVE EFFORTS TO BRING CHANGES IN OUR LIVES. IT IS TIME WE OPEN UP IN SELF CONFIDENCE AND TRUST GOD POSITIVELY TO ESTABLISH CHANGES IN OUR PERSONAL LIFE. I LOVE YOU ALL AND WISH YOU ALL THE BEST IN YOUR PLANNING.
Have the roots [of your being] firmly and deeply planted [in Him, fixed and founded in Him], being continually built up in Him, becoming increasingly more confirmed and established in the faith, just as you were taught, and abounding and overflowing in it with thanksgiving. See to it that no one carries you off as spoil or makes you yourselves captive by his so-called philosophy and intellectualism and vain deceit (idle fancies and plain nonsense), following human tradition (men 's ideas of the material rather than the spiritual world), just crude notions following the rudimentary and elemental teachings of the universe and disregarding [the teachings of] Christ (the Messiah)."You are for Me I have called you by your name." God said in Isaiah 43:1-3. Based upon the scripture passages, the word emphasizes the love of a God who is faithful on our side. No matter what goes on in our lives, He is there. Paul makes an important argument here: God gave His own Son for us. How can He not be on our side? He chose us. Every decision we make, every step that we take, God is with us. He sees our going out and our coming in. He sees when we fall and when we fail and He still is on our side, with unconditional love. It doesn't matter what the world has said about us. It doesn't matter what we sometimes say about ourselves. He, the Lord of All, is for us. He's in our corner and with God in our corner, who dares to be against us. O risen Savior, who once bore the wrath of God in my place on Calvary's tree, you are exalted far above all and yet are lowly of heart and full of compassion. You combine in one Person perfect humanity and perfect divinity. In you, love and truth unite in perfect harmony; in you, majesty and humility embrace and hold sweet communion. May we see in you all of this glory, and may the sight of it transform us and excite in us a spirit of true worship and reverence.
When we "commit" our works unto God, it means that we are lining up the activities of our life to match God's teaching. Every "work" we do should reflect what we have learned from God's word. Our actions should reflect our faith. When we do that, we can be assured that the plans we have for our lives match God's plan for us. We begin to move in the divine will of God, which will always be the right way. The more we continue longer to stay in the wrong spot we turn to develop the wrong ideas in life, because by association with wrong unfruitful people you will realize that everything negatively becomes rationalize as positive in our lives just to favor our own desires, you see a lie cannot or will never become a true story for us no matter how hard we try to know the fact. Sometimes activities and behavior of certain people that we have attached ourselves to will hinder us from receiving the answers to our prayer request, or see things that we have been expecting for long time, we can only see when we separate ourselves from such people or those people are gone out from our company then we will begin to see answers to problems that we don’t find solutions to solve them. Destiny is a race of individual, no competition in destiny. Be patience for the appointed time, you are in the same family, same friends, same town, same parents but different destiny. You are here for a purpose. There is no duplicate of you in the whole wide world. There never has been, there never will be. You were brought here now to fill a certain need. Take time to think that over. We are here for a reason. I believe a bit of the reason is for you to throw little torches out to lead people through the dark. Where hope grows, miracles blossom. Vision is not enough, it must be combined with venture. It is not enough to stare up the steps, we must step up the stairs. Compassion is the ultimate and most meaningful embodiment of emotional maturity. Compassion can help us achieve our goals. I love U
Don't speak when you are angry because you will make the best speech that you will ever regret. Therefore start what is right than what is acceptable. Romans 11;29 says "For the gift and calling of God are without repentance". First, we have to understand the type of "gift" Paul was talking about, secondly we must understand the word "calling" and then the third aspect is "Without repentance". Paul elaborated this calling in the next chapter when he said "I beseech you therefore brethren, by the mercies of God that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not CONFORMED TO THIS WORLD but be ye TRANSFORMED BY THE RENEWING OF YOUR MIND, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God." Let us ask ourselves if evil is the perfect will of God and acceptable. NO! I give you some verses to read for yourself ( 1 Corinthians 5:9-1; 6:9-10 Rev: 3:2-3 ; 2 Peter 2:17-21 and 2 Timothy 3:1-9) I want you to bear it out with me that we are in the last days where many people are being deceived by the works of the devil although many seems to served the Lord but they do not know Him in spirit. Many people have been deceived by both men and women who have Jezebel spirit this is a fornication spirit that does not know shame nor shyness. This type of spirit says you can worship God and involve in fornication and adultery, you can be evil and go to church, there's nothing wrong with that, but God said He will cut all those who involve themselves in such things out of His kingdom. (read Rev:2;18-23). Evil doers can only get out of this through repentance and ask God to forgive them or they will perish as the Bible says. Romans 1:28-32. All the verses are things that apply to Christians that turn from the truth. God said we should have nothing in common with such people unless they turn away from those deeds. He is merciful to forgive and accept us again when we fall. Stay bless in God.
Our trip is Very Short. A woman climbed up the bus and sat down beside a man, hitting him with her numerous bags and slept with her head upon his shoulder. When the man remained silent, the woman waked up asked him why he did not complain when she hit him with her bags or slept on his sholder? The man replied with a Smile: "There is no need to be upset about something so insignificant in life as our journey together is so short, because I'm getting off at the next stop." This answer disturbed the woman so much, she asked the man to excuse her and thought the words need to be written in Gold. You see each one of us must understand that our time in this world is so short, that darkening it with useless arguments, jealousy, not forgiving others, discontentment, anger, backfiring, hatred and bad attitudes are a ridiculous waste of time and energy in life. Did someone break your heart? Stay calm. The trip is too short. Did someone betrayed you, intimidate, oppress, insulted you, hate you, cursed you, cheat on you, or humiliate you? Relax, Don't be Stressed at all as the trip is too short. Did someone insult and want to fight you without reason? Please just Stay calm. Ignore it.The trip is too short. Did someone make a comment that you didn't like? Misrepresented before the authority, spoiled your name? Said things that are very uncomplimentary about you? Tried to pull your progress and run you down? Stay calm. Ignore it. Forgive, keep them in your prayers & love them still for no reason. The trip is too short. Whatever problems that we someimes face in life becomes a problem only if we think of it, remember that our journey together is too short. Where is your great-grand mother or grandparents perhaps a friend or a rich man in your area, all gone within short period of time. No one knows the length of our trip. No one has seen tomorrow. Nobody knows the time of arrival, all lived in darkness inside the womb breathing so loved your neighbor in Jesus name.
You can also make a great significant changes in your life, you can turn your life around, you can get started by accepting who you are and what you want to do and becoming who you want to be or where you want to reach in life in the future. This is what we called self-enhancement, this must be the turning point in your life, and you must turn the negative aspect of life into a positive and a successful one. You must start to lay out the essential aspect of goal setting, your time management which is the way you distribute your personal time each day and then build your organizational chart. Change the way you dress and how you act in public, your body image is very important in society, this was the reason why the father of the prodigal son has to put a new clothes on his son after his arrival, the father changed the body image of his son and this made the son become who he was and his position in the house as a son and not a servant. Let your past life experience influence and motivate you to explore more and better in your new creative life and enhance you to become a successful person. Another key in marketing yourself in a dynamic form before other people is the positive expression of yourself, keep in mind that whatever that you will create in your vision board will dramatically affect what you manifest because changes come from within a person before it is manifested outwardly therefore you cannot achieve any positive thing in life by building your success from outside before building within you. Let patience becomes part of your life and learn how to forgive others who wrong you. Your forgiveness will help to create a positive atmospheric condition around you to extend that your enemies will even speak well of you to their friends because of your forgiveness. Stay bless in God lovely one.
Hope leads to victory and success therefore, Let's ask ourselves what does "Hope" means? It is to wish for something with expectation of its fulfillment or to have confidence and trust or to look forward with expectation and confidence (to expect and desire for something) or a wish or desire accompanied by confident expectation of its fulfillment or rather it is a feeling of desire for something and confidence in the possibility of its fulfillment or reasonable ground for this feeling or it also means a thing, situation and an event that is desire. Every wish of us is like a prayer to God and hope like the setting down of the Sun, we can also view hope in our lives like the Sun which as we journey towards it always cast the shadow of our problems or burdens behind us. Hope is like a person who want something to happen and have some reason to believe that it will or might happen, hope is a desire with expectation or believe in the possibility or prospect of obtaining, it is a general feeling that some desire will be fulfilled in spite of our troubles we will never gave up believing the possibility of fulfillment. We have the hope in the future concerning our salvation because Jesus who is the first born raised among the dead is sitting on the right hand of the Father with full authority given him over Satan. Christ did confirm to us to strengthen our faith in Him and to run our race without wavering or fear. He is the foundation and the pillar of our strength, Christ is the advocate for us in the Father’s house and has given us power over the agents of Satan. Christ assured us with these words, “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in me, in my Father’s house are many mansions, if it were not so I would have told you I go and prepare a place for you and if I go and prepare a place I will come again and receive you to Myself that where I am, there you may bee also.” (John 14:1-3)
You exist in only what you are capable of doing. Actions may not always bring you happiness but there's no happiness without action so lived upon the beauty of your own reality. You are only here on this earth for a short period of time for in about a hundred years from today you might not be around therefore don't rush, don't worry yourself too much, just try to smell the aroma of the flowers on your way. Just imagine how boring life would be if we were all the same, therefore embrace your own uniqueness and make life more excited for yourself. Remember that clouds come floating into our lives, though they no longer carry rain or usher storm, but may add color to our sunset sky. And Fear cannot be without hope nor hope without fear. One way to keep momentum going is to have constantly greater goals. Either you run the day or the day runs you. Laugh when you can, apologize when you should, and let go of what you can't change. Kiss slowly, play hard, forgive quickly, take chances, give everything and have no regrets. Life is unpredictable and can be short through anything so always be happy. I know you might hate every minute of training, but I said, 'Don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion. The weeds keep multiplying in our garden, that is how negative thoughts in our mind is ruled by fear. Rip them out and call them by name. Typically, if you reward something, you get more of it. You punish something, you get less of it. And our family businesses must be built very much on motivational scheme. The people who influence you are the people who believe in you. March on. Do not tarry. To go forward is to move toward your perfection. March on, and fear not of the thorns, or the sharp stones on life's path. Do your work with your whole heart, and you will succeed in life because there's so little competition in front of your life just be focus on your vision and attain your goals and objectives. Stay bless in God lovely one.
SPECIAL PRAYERS
******************
In You, O Lord, do I put my trust and confidently take refuge; let me never be put to shame or confusion! Deliver me in Your righteousness and cause me to escape; bow down Your ear to me and save me! Be to me a rock of refuge in which to dwell, and a sheltering stronghold to which I may continually resort, which You have appointed to save me, for You are my Rock and my Fortress.- Rescue me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out of the grasp of the unrighteous and ruthless man. For You are my hope; O Lord God, You are my trust from my youth and the source of my confidence. Upon You have I leaned and relied from birth; You are He Who took me from my mother 's womb and You have been my benefactor from that day. My praise is continually of You. I am as a wonder and surprise to many, but You are my strong refuge. My mouth shall be filled with Your praise and with Your honor all the day. Unto You, O Lord, do I bring my life. O my God, I trust, lean on, rely on, and am confident in You. Let me not be put to shame or [my hope in You] be disappointed; let not my enemies triumph over me. Yes, let none who trust and wait hopefully and look for You be put to shame or be disappointed; let them be ashamed who forsake the right or deal treacherously without cause. Show me Your ways, O Lord; teach me Your paths. Guide me in Your truth and faithfulness and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation; for You [You only and altogether] do I wait [expectantly] all the day long. Remember, O Lord, Your tender mercy and loving-kindness; for they have been ever from of old. Remember not the sins (the lapses and frailties) of my youth or my transgressions; according to Your mercy and steadfast love remember me, for Your goodness ' sake, O Lord. Good and upright is the Lord; therefore will He instruct sinners in [His] way. He leads the humble in what is right, and the humble He teaches His way. All the paths of the Lord are mercy and steadfast
There is a saying that all sorts of things are possible, but not all possible things are equally probable and predictable. Don't try to live in a historical hypothesis and assumptions with the past negative events. We need to design, create or construct and establish relationship with positive people to get things done, we also need our privacy or stay away from other people to get our breakthrough out of repentance or take an action of deep inner feelings by showing the act of sorrow and regret for having done wrong things in the negative way as well as change our individual confidence and faith in God because we need the direction from God to help us accomplish our dreams and visions. Nothing can stop us from receiving the answers to our prayer request if we become obedience to the principles of God, the only problems we have is ourselves for not believing what we have prayed and ask from God because we don’t have enough patience to wait for the effect of response from God in our individual lives. Jesus made it clear and said we cannot survive by our personal strength unless we depend and abide in Him since He is the Life, the way and the truth that can sustain us, lead us and made known the real fact of how we can enjoy on earth and have more access into the Kingdom of God if we can obey the principles of God by applying them in our living rather than fight to effect changes that we are going through because of fashion. Keep in mind that all what the world is going through is not life but changes of fashion. Life does not change in itself but it is the body of life that keep changing because there is no human on this planet who can say he or she has change his or her blood which is the life inside us and is now using milk or petrol to replace the life given Blood from God, that person will not even last for 2 seconds so the devil has always in so many ways destructed us by echoing into our ears and minds that life is hard so focus positively on God for changes
