Say Yes!

As believers, we have direct access to our Heavenly Father through His Son, Jesus Christ. Isn't it a great feeling to know that we are privileged with these rights to commune with Our Father?

Ephesians 2:16-18 (NIV)

¹⁶ and in one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility. ¹⁷ He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near. ¹⁸ For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit.

We will say YES!

When God asks us to feed His sheep, "the people", we will say YES.

Even though the circumstances are not in our favour, we will say YES Lord, we will still pray!

When the widows and orphans need our time, we will say YES.

The children who are seeking for someone to say "well done", we will say YES!

Even though, we may not feel like studying Your Word, we will say YES.

Although we may be naive to the person who spitefully uses us, we will say YES, we will yet pray for them!

When pride tries to whisper in our ear, we will refuse to listen and say YES to humility.

When God takes us out of our comfort zone, to call us to work the fields, we will say YES.

The natural way of dealing with challenges will lead us to say YES to God's way.

When we have no direction, we will say YES to the Holy Spirit for guidance.

When we need counsel, we will say YES to Godly counsel.

The gloomy outlook of the economy will lead us to say YES to God's economy of sowing and reaping.

Disappointment in others will allow us to reflect on the gift of Christ to pay for our own sins.

When contrary doctrine presents itself, we will say YES to the Word of God!

Without any works done on our part, we will say YES to God's grace.

There is no value worth more than the ultimate price Christ paid for us on Calvary to have access to the Tree of Life!

WE SAY YES!

Abounding by His grace,

Thank You!

Thank You DFA and Family This serves as a “Thank You” to all of you who are reading this right now. Today is my last day at DFA. Although some of you were here when I came to DFA back in June of 2000, many have retired or moved on to various other assignments. Some have come after I started with DFA. I have had the opportunity over the last few weeks to execute a brief version of a succession plan. What usually takes years, I had to condense in a few weeks. However, I feel assured that the work of DFA will continue with excellence. I did not want any of you to worry about how you were getting paid, so I preferred to work until my last day and think of it as a “see you soon” rather than a "good bye". Good byes are not my forte, because they seem so final. So, I will see you soon. I will be rooting for you and know that DFA will succeed. The years and seasons have gone by so quickly. Time surely waits for no one. As a nation and state, we find ourselves still in the m...

What profits a Person to Gain the Whole World?

What Profits a Person to Gain the Whole World and lose his/her soul? The soul is deemed integral or essential to consciousness and personality . As I contemplate on this thought, I have to take a look in the mirror at myself. With any evaluation made, one must first perform a self assessment , which equates to self-awareness . Knowing where you stand on a particular subject or how you feel about a particular topic, first requires some soul searching and getting to know SELF . So, I ponder and pray sometimes about the direction God wants me to take; about the decisions God wants me to make; about the work God wants me to do; about the associations God wants me involved in; about the influences God wants me to have on others; about the thoughts God wants me to write; and about the people God wants me to touch; then I pick up my Bible to read and He reveals some of these things that I ponder over. Oftentimes, I may not know where to start, but He leads me to where he wants me to g...

Don't Waste Your Time...

Don't waste your time arguing with or listening to people who are argumentative by nature. Some people will "argue with a stop sign", that's what they use to say in the old days. Just ignore the noise and focus on other things that are more important. Let the small stuff go! There are many more urgent things going on that require more attention. Let us take a look at John chapter nine. Here, Jesus heals a man who was blind at birth and the Pharisees were trying to find out every thing they could to find fault in the miraculous thing Jesus did for this man. First, the disciples asked Jesus, what sin did the man commit? John 9:1 - As he went along, he saw a man blind from birth. 2 His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” Jesus answers, 3 “Neither this man nor his parents sinned,” said Jesus, “but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him. 4 As long as it is day, we must do the works of him w...

Love! The Greatest Commandment.

Love Love Love! The Greatest Commandment. Matthew 22:34-39 (NIV) 34 Hearing that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, the Pharisees got together. 35 One of them, an expert in the law, tested him with this question: 36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” 37 Jesus replied: ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.' Love is an action word! It is more than a notion, a belief, some fantasy. It is truly seen by way of one's actions. Love causes us to sacrifice many of the our own personal agendas and follow God's agenda. His agenda is for us to love Him with all our hearts, every inch of our being and mind. When we extend a helping hand to that lady in the store who just had back surgery and is not able to pick up an item she just dropped in line, we show love . When we...
