Reparations

What you say now????? No descendants of slaves who put in sun-up's to sundown's should be struggling in America, but I digress... My question to you as colored, Negro and black folk: What would you do with reparations? Let's say the top 1...% decided to allow some of their runoff trickle down and you granted $1,000,000.00. What then would you do besides ball-out? How are you going to make that one become two, especially when you haven't made that check of 40+ hours into wealth of any kind? There are some that rise up to a point where they can look down and also look back to see that they have risen to a pinnacled height that only a few are blessed to see and they though they like to tell us how great it looks from high above but they can t tell us how to be successful because what was for them was for them - And we must find what our purpose is individually. We as black folk like to have an excuse for not succeeding, "It's because I am black". I refuse to rest on that old fallback. I am putting myself up to the challenge to put myself out there and say that I believe that God will honor his promises to me. I can't receive for anyone, neither can I believe for anyone. Each one of us have to believe God for ourselves and not rely on a handout from anyone, when our God is all sufficient. Yes - I am putting God on blast! If the powers that be made the playing field even and started everyone out with the same amount hypothetically speaking. Ask yourself what would you do to sustain yourself if they gave you a lump sum settlement and gave the caveat that "this is it". Forty Acres and a mule are worth a much in these days and times. No more - No food stamps, no unemployment - no more help whatsoever; and now you no longer had them to blame and you were dependent upon your own ingenuity to either rise or fall. What indeed would you do? Many haven't thought that far enough ahead because they like the crutch of being a minority. Whatever it is that you say that you would do if you had the money, try doing it now and you just might get the money you are searching for. #CurrentEventEvangelist

Bon Appetit!

Have you ever looked at animals and how their lives also resemble the societal hierarchy that we as humans experience?  How so you ask?  There are stray animals just like there are homeless people.  Some animals grow up in a family of pedigree while some humans come from a family of privilege.  None of us get to choose what family we come to be a part of, but there are shelters for animals as well as for people, that give them some reprieve from their current state; and even strays find themselves being fed by a person who just likes animals and instead watching them starve to death, they choose to show compassion and toss them some scraps from their table.  Is our God not humane to all that come to him asking and believing that he will reward those who diligently seek him? God created us all – both human and animals alike and as he cares for an animal by allowing them to be adopted into a family, the same has already happened for those of us who have chosen him to be our Lord and Savior through Jesus Christ.  We have been adopted as Sons and Daughters into his kingdom and while some in the kingdom appear to have been allotted more than others, we are all blessed in our own way.  Trust that God is working all things out for in your favor.  They say all dogs go to heaven – What about you?  How about experiencing Heaven right here on earth?  I believe that God does all things well, exceeding and abundantly.  The crumbs that fall from the Master’s table that the dogs eat are a blessing as long as they fall from the Father’s table.  Soon… the dinner bell will ring and those of us who have fought the good fight of faith will be called to his table and the gourmet menu before us will be more than we could ever have hoped to consume, because it will have been prepared by him, right in the presence of all who care to join you at the table.  This dinner party is a by invitation only.  Have you accepted Christ as Savior?  If so, get ready to pig out! Bon Appetit!

Magic

Each of us has that “it” experience when we know that God is real to us.  For most of us it was early on in our lives but it let us know that there was a God and he heard us.  We had either prayed silent inwardly or verbally outwardly and he gave us a direct and sure response, so that there was no question that he heard our prayer.  Most of the time it was a personal issue that we were in desperate need of and God either provided or made a way out of no way.  You prayed for your parents not to split and they did not and so you believed.  You possibly could have escaped a harrowing experience like being shot at or avoiding being sent to jail or to prison; depending on the severity of the crime.  He may have kept your lights on when you thought that by now all your utilities should have already been shut off for non-payment.  Perhaps someone just sowed financially into you and only you and God knew that you were in need because you had never confided to anyone; but God showed you that he knew even when you thought that you were all alone.  God now had your attention.  What you didn't realize was that you were on the hook and starting your process of being held accountable for what you now know.  Early in your faith walk, every time you prayed it seemed like your prayer was answered quickly.  You were like whoa… this praying thing works like Magic – I pray and then miraculously my prayer gets answered.  After so long and after so many prayers, God wants to know what you have learned about him and are you willing to stand in faith even if he doesn't answer as promptly, as frequently or the way that we would have liked him to.  This is the crux of where many believers lose heart and in doing so; they find themselves losing something more costly – their faith.  There is a reason that God says keep your eyes on him and him only.  You are being walked out onto a plank and you have been walking so long looking at God that you haven’t noticed that you ran out of plank a long time ago; and you are suspended only by his spirit when you walk by faith and not by sight.  Those who have been walking know that it’s not magic at all, but rather good old grace and mercy.  God has been removing every obstacle that will make it impossible for you to say that you don’t know or question that he has been real to you; so now if you choose to not believe, it is a willful choice.  Why is it as long as God is doing what we like or giving us what we want – we believe?  Soon as things grow trying and difficult – Is there a God and does he know what I am going through? Those are our next thoughts.  There is no Magic, no abracadabra, and no tricks of any kind - Only believing and having faith in God regardless of whatever else - Period.

Good News

Have you ever asked yourself – What is good?  Good is a relative term when it comes to anything or anyone else, but God.  Even Jesus said “why do you call me good, only God is good”.  What once constituted good at one time in our lives, we found out the hard way that good can go bad or good could have been a disguise and what we thought was good was bad all the while.  The word says that every good and perfect gift comes from the Lord.  So, in actuality, only God can cause good to happen.  We ask each other “are you good?” and we really don’t know what we are, if we aren't in Christ.  We say “it’s all good” and we know that things could be a lot better.  Life flows in and out of good, bad and indifferent times; and they intermingle as our emotions make the determination of which one we are feeling like on any particular day.  We must make up in our minds that our trust is in Jesus Christ and him alone, if we are going to see each day that we wake up as – Good.  Don’t allow your circumstance to determine whether you are “good” or not, but know that if God woke you up this morning, then this day can only get better and in time - the best is yet to come.  So, I ask the question again – What is good?  Your response: God.  And that is some Good News.

Expectations

When I call my Mom or Dad, friend or family and ask either of them for a favor, I expect them to do it; whether they do it or not, I still expect them to.  Do I deserve for them to do anything for me because I am simply their child, friend or because we are blood related? No.  They may be unable to do the request for one reason or another but I still “expect” them to do it originally when I ask.  I go into it with the expectation that my needs will be fulfilled.  Now if I can expect that of human beings who have limited resources and time on this planet, why can I not go to God expecting from him in every area of my life?  He has unlimited resources and he is forever eternal.  Do I deserve him to do anything for me? No, but I still go to him with expectancy as God Almighty to do each and every promise he spoke in his word for my life.  I go into my prayer and supplication with expectancy that all of my needs will be fulfilled because he is God and admonished me that I must have faith in him to provide, to heal, to comfort, to supply, to reward, to be good to me all the days of my life.  Unlike people, he is well able to deliver on every request and even when he doesn't, it is still for my good because he has kept me from both things and people that meant me no good and it was a blessing when it was all said and done.  I thank God for my parents, and friends and family who I have been able to reach out to, but never forget from whom all blessings flow – God and besides him is no other.  Give credit where credit is due but give God all the Glory, Honor and Praise; which is your reasonable service.

Black Moses

I don t revere or reverence many but Mrs. Harriet Tubman is one of those people.  My belief is that God blessed Black Moses as she is affectionately known to escape from freedom because he knew that she was not going to only leave, thank goodness and disappear into the a freed state and life.  But he knew that she had a deep desire to free others once she saw and felt what actual freedom was like.  My prayer Father is that once I am free myself to entire into my own Land of Promise, that I too be granted access to reach back and help others experience the life that you call many to experience but only a few take you at your word and believe you for every jot and tittle and receive.
