What we take for granted!


Matthew 6:20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
As you can see the scriptures clearly instruct us to prioritize in order that we don't just take things for granted.
Our message today is a simple one. When we over look the small things of life, we tend to take those things for granted; and even though God has provided all things for us to enjoy, we still have a choice of what we consider to be valuable and what is not.
The treasures that the scriptures speak of are the unseen things but most important thing that we usually take for granted. . .life, love, peace, health, opportunity, and most of all forgiveness.
Take a second look at your own life, and I'm sure you'll find a host of benefits; so what am saying today. . . .love life and appreciate it, because remember this: Time can never be saved, so make the very best of it by taking nothing for granted.

May God richly bless you today!

FAITH TO SUSTAIN YOUR MARRIAGE!


Today is a day of tests,trials, and integrity. In today's message we explore the sustaining factor of faith.
The scriptures gives us a very profound definition of faith as read in Hebrews, chapter 11. Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
You see, it is the unseen things that really matter; and especially when it pertains to your marriage. It is actually the mindset that really sustains your marriage. What am I saying here? . . . simply this: if in your thinking you are determine that your marriage will not just survive, but also thrive and blossom, you will!
Regardless of the situations or the circumstances that may arise in your relationships, the will to do. . . . .let me say that again: The will to do. . . . is the deciding factor that will determine your success. In other words, God expects you to actually think like He thinks and subsequently act as He would act. Listen to the scriptures: 1 John 4:4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

Now even though this particular passage is speaking to believers, the principle is still the same. You can never be defeated if you have made up in your mind that you and your spouse is going through these situations together as one! Praise God!. . . .did you get that? As one!, that's the key my dear readers.
The mindset of Faith is the mindset of two becoming one!; and with that kind of thinking, your marriage is unbreakable.

Here's the challenge. Take the time to establish whether your relationship will stand in faith or fall in defeat. The choice you know is actually yours. Yes, it's just that simple. That's why Marriage God's way is so powerful. It is the winning solution that stands the test of time for marriages.
Have a wonderful day and always remember. . . .

YOU ARE BLESSED!
