Holding hands through the storms




We always find it beautiful when we come across an image of an elderly couple holding hands. Why is that? How is that sweet image able to soften our hearts? Can it be because we recognize that they made it, that they are victorious? Because they were able to achieve something we only dream about, but for one reason or another, life happens, and we don’t think we will get there. What a blessing to grow old with the person you love!

Now do me a favor, Can you close your eyes and picture yourself at eighty years old sitting on a park bench holding hands with your spouse? Hold that image for a few seconds, take a few deep breaths as your seal it in your memory. Let the image give you peace, feel love and appreciation, let that image sink deep Inside your soul and save it there.

Therefore, what God has joined together, let no one separate.” He reminds us in Mark‬ ‭10:9‬ For when the storms of life seem overwhelming,thinkk of the peace you felt when you recorded the image deep inside your soul. The enemy will sway you left and right, over and over again through the years, he will try to make you think you are sinking ,but if you are grounded on the word of God, No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper says Isaiah‬ ‭54:17‬


According to Peter we are to be “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:” 1 Peter‬ ‭5:8‬ You must make Jesus number one in your life and remember that image of the two of you holding hands after a lifetime of memories.

You may think, How will that image sustain me? When you make God your anchor, you are sustained by declaring Jesus is your Lord and Savior, because he says in Romans 8:2,8 “we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.”
‭‭
Continue to hold hands through the storms of life, declare the blood of Jesus over your lives with God always at the center, seek Him every day, and in the end, you will bring that beautiful image to life.

The right now life



Can you say, "I have maximized every moment with the people I love?" The definition of maximize is to increase as much as possible. Let that sink in!

The right now life doesn't mean changing everything you are doing by quitting your job and moving to Europe and starting your dream life. What it means is, take every moment as a life experience and apply that as the foundation for the voyage of your dreams while never forgetting that the most important moments come from your family. 

Right now life is about changing little things that establish your future walk in life. What can you do right now to maximize your opportunities in love, family, and business? 

Reflection: Big waves start as little ripples and have the power to turn into a Tsunami with the right environment.

Glory to God!




I have heard the phrase "Glory to God" many a times and just now it made me question what does that really mean to us? I believe when you say "All Glory to God" you mean "I couldn’t do this great thing without his consent, I am just a servant who comes to show his magnificent power over this situation".


You see, when an actor gets an Oscar or Grammy, when an athlete wins the Super Bowl or the World Series you hear "I want to thank God" The thing is when you hear that statement you should really be hearing The Lord make a bold statement of His power. All credit goes to him by His will and power.

Can you and I say, "I give glory to God for my marriage"? That what He brought you together was to show His glory on earth by bringing two different individuals into a binding contract with Him to create life, to be the generational curse-breakers and the servants for His glory for future generations.


Whatever you do, giving glory to God is realizing He made you for a purpose. Show your spouse that you are here to serve your family, friends, and community.
