Faithfulness

Dear God, I believe that Jesus is the Son of God. I believe Jesus went to the Cross, died, took my sin upon Himself, and on the third day, He was raised by the power of God and that Jesus is alive. Today, I acknowledge that I’m a sinner. I am a sinner, Lord God, and my sin is before me, and my sin is separating me from You because You can have no part of sin. You are holy and righteous. Second, I confess that to Jesus, because Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, and I believe in the Bible. I cannot come to the Father except through Jesus, because He’s the Son of God who gave His life. He paid the sacrifice. I confess to Jesus. Third, I put my trust in Him right now. I believe, and I pray this prayer in Jesus’ name, amen.

Faithfulness

“Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much. Luke 16:10 (NIV)

Pastor James Merritt said, “The other day I asked my beautiful wife if she married me for my looks.” She replied, “No, I married you for your brains—it’s the little things that count!” Merritt was joking of course. What really counts in life is faithfulness in little things; it’s how dependability begins, grows, and matures.

Longfellow wrote, “Most people would succeed in small things if they weren’t troubled with great ambition.” Sometimes we think we’re too big for small things; we would rather get on with what we perceive as bigger, more important matters. But here is how Jesus sees it: “Anyone who can be trusted in little matters can also be trusted in important matters. But anyone who is dishonest in little matters will be dishonest in important matters.

If you cannot be trusted with this wicked wealth, who will trust you with true wealth? And if you cannot be trusted with what belongs to someone else, who will give you something that will be your own?” (Vv. 10-12 CEV). If you want to succeed on the job, come to work on time; stick with the job until it’s finished; when you see something that needs to be done, do it—even if it’s not in your job description.

Give an honest day’s work for an honest day’s pay; take your designated lunch break, not a three-hour paid vacation; report your expenses truthfully; support the team; and uphold the company’s reputation. In other words, be faithful on the job: “Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might” (Ecc 9:10 NIV). That’s the kind of faithfulness God honors.

No Matter Who you are……

?Where you are on Life’s Journey….

There is a Home for You at the Church!

I Brother Thomas also pray for all the brothers and sisters in the U.S. and overseas soldiers and civilians to pray that you have good eyesight today and good ears and pay close attention to your surroundings. We have not received the spirit of the world but the Spirit who is from God, that we may understand what God has freely given up.

All we have to do is put our lives in neutral, get out from behind the steering wheel and let Him deliver us to where He wants us. Praying for friends, family and loved ones is another wonderful way to start each morning. It’s a selfless act that seeks to ask God for guidance and assistance for others.

From parents praying for their children to individuals invoking God on behalf of friends facing a difficult time, morning prayers for loved ones offer up inspiration and eternal perspective. Life is unfortunately filled with all sorts of temptations. Engaging in daily morning prayer is just one way to try and overcome the struggles that plague us. Focusing on God and His power over our lives is essential, as He has promised that we will not “be tempted beyond what we can bear.

“Whatever it happens to be, you may find yourself feeling weak, helpless, and powerless. When that happens listen closely and carefully and you will hear God saying, "My grace is sufficient for you."?Trust that. Lean into that. Know that it is true. Thank Him, and when you are sharing your story include this statement: "When I am weak, then I am strong. "When you pray for others, God listens to you and blesses them, and sometimes, when you are safe and happy, remember that someone has prayed for you.

Prayer should be one of the driving factors of every single congregation. It shouldn’t take a severe illness or hardship to call us to prayer now, and it certainly shouldn’t take mass persecution to cause us to devote ourselves to prayer in the future.?

What lessons do you think persecution would teach us? Can we learn them without having to be persecuted first? A bad job with a Good Boss is Better than a Good Job with a bad boss. I hope you have the Brightest and happiest day on earth as soldiers and civilians. Thank you, Uncle Sam, and Thank You Friends and Family; our Fallen Brothers and Sisters -in-Arms will always be with us, honored, and remembered! WE LIVE IN THE LAND OF THE FREE, "ONLY" - BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE!

?Love Brother David (Juggernaut) Thomas In Jesus’s name. Amen."
