For Such a Time As This
It is the best of times, it is the worst of times; we have come into the kingdom for such a time as this. Change is inevitable, however choosing to grow and develop is an individual choice. So many world events are rapidly occuring to the extent, lives are being significantly changed amid harsh realities of some adverse situations. Although many changes that are occuring are beyond one's control, we can choose to respond positively and make the best out of negative situations. This important choice calls for having courage enough to confront uncomfortable and unpleasant realities, which often will cause a paradigm shift. As a result, old perspectives can be changed in order to adjust to new realities and move forward with renewed perspectives. As we embrace and adjust to change it could very well serve as a catalyst to positively influence change in the lives of others.

Life's Journey;
Life is a journey, not a destination; therefore one must learn to grapple with the many twists and turns along the way. On this journey, it is very important to have great expectations for finding fulfillment of life's purpose. In light of so many uncertainites and challenging situations, it is critical to envision and know for what you are searching. If you believe the scriptures, then seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and everything else will be added to you. You will know the truth and the truth will set you free; So if the Son liberates you [makes you free men] then you are really and unquestionably free. (Matt. 6:33; John 8: 32, 36)
The kingdom of heaven is like a man who is a dealer in search of fine and precious pearls, who on finding a single pearl of great price, went and sold all he had and bought it. (Matt. 13: 45-46)

Living Epistles
Most people like to be highly recommended and applauded for significant achievements; however as people of faith, our applause and recommendations come from the Spirit of God. In these challenging and unstable times, the faithful are called to make a difference in the world by pressing to become living epistles of Christ that can be read by all people. Our Father is seeking for true worshippers who will worship Him in Spirit and in Truth. It is time to make Him known throughout the world, letting the light of love shine amid darkness and hate.
You show and make obvious that you are a letter from Christ delivered by us, not written with ink but with the Spirit of the Living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.
(2 Cor. 3:3)

Divine Presence
In these times of challenging situations, many people are filled with feelings of doubt, skepticism concerning the supernatural power and intervention of God in current affairs. Now is the time for faithful disciples of Christ and true worshippers to arise to declare the authentic gospel amid erroneous teachings and beliefs. God is still in the midst of us and is mighty to save, heal and deliver from the power of darkness. The unbelief of some does not void the reality of divine presence in the world. We serve an Awesome God who is incredible, magnificient, amazing and so much more than words can describe; He is worthy of all glory, honor and praise. We will bless Him at all times and His praises shall continually be in our mouths. Let the redeemed of the Lord say so!
And Jacob awoke from his sleep and said: "Surely the Lord is in this place and I did not know it... How awesome is this place, this is none other than the house of God and this is the gate of Heaven! (Genesis 28: 16-17)

Times of Refreshing
How can I say thanks for all the wonderful things God has done, is doing and will continue to do for His children. The Lord is good, His mercy is everlasting and His truth endures throughout all generations. To God be all glory, honor and praise for everything; He is worthy to be praised. Those who believe in Him can continually be refreshed from rivers of living water flowing from the throne of God.
