MAKE NO MISTAKE……......…………,

 

No one decides what God does or doesn’t do, or where God goes or doesn’t go. Therefore no one can exclude God’s judgment. Make no mistake God said that judgment will fall on those who persist in sin – whether it be Gentile or Jew.

Whosoever Continues to justify sin will meet God’s Judgment.

Amos.1:1-15 MSG Amos 1:1-15 (MSG) 1 The Message of Amos, one of the shepherds of Tekoa, that he received on behalf of Israel. It came to him in visions during the time that Uzziah was king of Judah and Jeroboam II son of Joash was king of Israel, two years before the big earthquake.

^11-12 God’s Message:

“Because of the three great sins of Edom—make that four—I’m not putting up with her any longer.
She hunts down her brother to murder him.
She has no pity, she has no heart.
Her anger rampages day and night.
Her meanness never takes a timeout.
For that, I’m burning down her capital, Teman, burning up the forts of Bozrah.”

Battle shouts! War whoops! with a tornado to finish things off!
The king has been carted off to exile, the king and his princes with him.” God’s Decree.

 

WHY JUSTIFYING YOUR SIN?

 

Why do we always justify our sins after we found out that we have goofed?

This is a question that I wish to ask everyone……..Right from Genesis, our fore fathers have been found out to have committed same offence like we I this generation. Why the spirit of lie?

Genesis.3:12 KJV “And the man said, the woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.”

Why would Adam have gotten to an extent of shifting blame on Eve? Was he not the one that God told not to eat such?, or should I say, “was he forced or what could have made him to eat out of the fruit if not that he himself really wanted to eat the said fruit”.

John 8:44 (KJV) ^“Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.”

Are you a liar or just find yourself telling “small lies”?

Either small or big, lie is still lie and you need to desist from such today because tomorrow might be a bit late.

Maintain the Truth and you will see that the same Truth will make a way for you. Do not try to cover up in any for, just say it the way that it is

Servant of God, be all warned. You cannot help God because He himself can do it all without you. Allow God to do it in His own way and not for you cutting corners. Remember Uzzah in 1 Chronicles 13:9-12 (KJV)

⁹ And when they came unto the threshingfloor of Chidon, Uzza put forth his hand to hold the ark; for the oxen stumbled.

¹⁰ And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Uzza, and he smote him, because he put his hand to the ark: and there he died before God.

¹¹ And David was displeased, because the Lord had made a breach upon Uzza: wherefore that place is called Perezuzza to this day.

¹² And David was afraid of God that day, saying, How shall I bring the ark of God home to me?

Allow God to do all things in His own way and that is when He (God) can take all the glory unto himself

(Isaiah 42:8 (KJV) ⁸ I am the Lord: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.)

 

Just STOP THE JUSTIFICATION and REPENT of all of your SINS and be CONVERTED.

 

God Bless You.

 

WHAT DO YOU PURSUE, OR

WHAT ARE YOU RUNNING AFTER?

 

John.1:35-39 NLT

35 “The next day John was there again with two of his disciples.
36 When he saw Jesus passing by, he said, "Look, the Lamb of God!"
37 When the two disciples heard him say this, they followed Jesus.
38 Turning around, Jesus saw them following and asked, "What do you want?" They said, "Rabbi" (which means Teacher), "where are you staying?"
39 "Come," he replied, "and you will see." So they went and saw where he was staying, and spent that day with him. It was about the tenth hour.

Jesus asked, what do you want? He knew they wanted something because they were following, pursuing him.

Let me quickly tell you a story: - There once was a man who had money, was young and full of energy and time. He was free to pursue because there was nothing or no one who could restrain what he wanted to do. He left a record of this for us to read. It is Ecclesiastes and his name was Solomon of whom the Lord gave wisdom such as no other man has had. He starts by telling what his life has brought.

Ecclesiates.1:2 (KJV) “Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity”.

 

Ecclesiastes 2:20-21 (KJV)

²⁰ Therefore I went about to cause my heart to despair of all the labour which I took under the sun.

²¹ For there is a man whose labour is in wisdom, and in knowledge, and in equity; yet to a man that hath not laboured therein shall he leave it for his portion. This also is vanity and a great evil.

 

Ecclesiastes 5:13-20

The Message (MSG)

^13-17 Here’s a piece of bad luck I’ve seen happen:
A man hoards far more wealth than is good for him
And then loses it all in a bad business deal.
He fathered a child but hasn’t a cent left to give him.
He arrived naked from the womb of his mother;
He’ll leave in the same condition—with nothing.
This is bad luck, for sure—naked he came, naked he went.
So what was the point of working for a salary of smoke?
All for a miserable life spent in the dark?

 

When we look at the above, we can found two sets of case that dealt with pursuit. In the book of John, those that were recorded in that scripture were pursuing Jesus whom is the only source of life.

John 14:6 (KJV)

⁶ Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

We can only get access unto God through Him (JESUS)

John 1:1-5 (KJV)

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

² The same was in the beginning with God.

³ All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

⁴ In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

⁵ And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

Now let us look at the second case study in Ecclesiastes, he was busy pursuing wealth and later found out that all were VANITY.

I need to ask you this question once again, WHAT DO YOU PURSUE?

Do you want real satisfaction in life? This will only come as you have an up-to-date relationship with God. Look at what Solomon now finally arrived at in the last statement that he made all of his writing;

Ecclesiastes 12:13-14

King James Version (KJV)

¹³ Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.

¹⁴ For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.

Note that Elisha sought for double portion of anointing in Elijah’s life, this can be seen in:-

2 Kings 2:9 (KJV)

⁹ And it came to pass, when they were gone over, that Elijah said unto Elisha, Ask what I shall do for thee, before I be taken away from thee. And Elisha said, I pray thee, let a double portion of thy spirit be upon me.

 

 While Gehazi pursued Elisha’s wealth.

2 Kings 5:20-27 (KJV)

²⁰ But Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of God, said, Behold, my master hath spared Naaman this Syrian, in not receiving at his hands that which he brought: but, as the Lord liveth, I will run after him, and take somewhat of him.

²¹ So Gehazi followed after Naaman. And when Naaman saw him running after him, he lighted down from the chariot to meet him, and said, Is all well?

²² And he said, All is well. My master hath sent me, saying, Behold, even now there be come to me from mount Ephraim two young men of the sons of the prophets: give them, I pray thee, a talent of silver, and two changes of garments.

²³ And Naaman said, Be content, take two talents. And he urged him, and bound two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of garments, and laid them upon two of his servants; and they bare them before him.

²⁴ And when he came to the tower, he took them from their hand, and bestowed them in the house: and he let the men go, and they departed.

²⁵ But he went in, and stood before his master. And Elisha said unto him, Whence comest thou, Gehazi? And he said, Thy servant went no whither.

²⁶ And he said unto him, Went not mine heart with thee, when the man turned again from his chariot to meet thee? Is it a time to receive money, and to receive garments, and olive yards, and vineyards, and sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and maidservants?

²⁷ The leprosy therefore of Naaman shall cleave unto thee, and unto thy seed forever. And he went out from his presence a leper as white as snow.

I need to leave you with this taught: -

Mark 8:36 (KJV)

³⁶ For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?

 

 

 

'STOP SATRING AND START LEARNING'

They called her the ''Ugliest Woman'' in the World, but I call Her SUCCESS!!!!!!!!!!!!

All I see on her is Beauty which start from INSIDE (HEART)............

 

'People should stop staring and start learning': World's ‘ugliest woman’ gives courageous interview

• Lizzie Velasquez was born without any adipose tissue, meaning she does not have body fat and cannot gain weight
• The 23-year-old reveals she has been bullied by strangers online
• Despite this she says she would not want to look like a beautiful celebrity

She has been ridiculed, stared at in the street and called 'the world's ugliest woman' by insensitive cyber bullies.

But, after years of misery and self doubt, Lizzie Velasquez says she can finally shrug off the hurtful comments about her looks as 'just words'.

Miss Velasquez, from Austin, Texas, was born without adipose tissue - meaning she has no body fat and, despite eating up to 60 small meals a day, remains at a delicate 4.4stone (58lbs).

 

Battle: Lizzie Velasquez says she has had to face being stared at and bullied because of her unusual looks

The rare condition still baffles doctors and is thought to affect just two other people worldwide.

Miss Velazquez has now written a second book about her struggle to be accepted and hopes it will help others in a similar position.

In Be Beautiful, Be You the 23-year-old college senior shares advice on being unique, how to make and keep good friends and how to deal with bullying and negativity.

Speaking to Dr Drew Pinsky on Tuesday night about her experiences, Miss Velasquez said when cyber bullies first started attacking her online it was hard.

 

 

Rare: Miss Velasquez was born without any adipose tissue, meaning she has no body fat and, despite eating up to 60 small meals a day, remains at a delicate 4.4stone (58lbs)

THE SYNDROME SO RARE IT REMAINS UNDIAGNOSED

Lizzie Velasquez was born without adipose tissue, meaning she has no body fat and, despite eating up to 60 small meals a day, remains at a delicate 4.4stone (58lbs).

Her syndrome is so rare that to this day it remains undiagnosed. Besides Miss Velasquez there are only two other people in the world known to suffer from the condition.

The main symptom is the inability to gain weight. Miss Velasquez is also blind in one eye and has limited vision in the other.

The 23-year-old says her condition is particularly puzzling because it takes on aspects of other syndromes, including progeria.

Miss Velasquez says she has the pointed nose, small mouth and ageing skin of someone with progeria but her syndrome is not though to be terminal.

As she says on her website her condition is 'just one big mystery', but she remains hopeful that one day doctors will discover just what it is and how to treat it.

She told Dr Drew: 'I'm human... of course these things are going to hurt... (but) I'm not going to let those things define me.'

Eventually Miss Velasquez realised the people issuing the hurtful comments online were just cowards hiding behind a computer screen.

'At the end of the day, these are just words,' Miss Velasquez told Dr Drew. 'If they are so proud, then they should show their face.'

When asked how she deals with being constantly stared at in the street Miss Velasquez said: 'I'm starting to want to go up to these people and introduce myself or give them my card and say, "Hi, I'm Lizzie - maybe you should stop staring and start learning".'

Miss Velasquez also revealed she does not have any desire to look like a beautiful celebrity.

She said: 'I feel I'm really glad I don't look like the celebrities out there who are beautiful, because there are a lot of stereotypes attached to that.

'People think "she's so pretty, she must be really dumb". Since I don't look like that it's better because people can get to know the real me.'

Miss Velasquez was born four weeks prematurely weighing just 2lb 10oz. Doctors found there was minimal amniotic fluid protecting her in the womb.

'They told us they had no idea how she could have survived,' Miss Velasquez's mother Rita, 45, a church secretary, said.

 

Dinner: Miss Velasquez says she has to eat high calorie food every 15-20 minutes to keep her energy level high

'We had to buy dolls' clothes from the toy store because baby clothes were too big.' Doctors could not make a diagnosis so they prepared Miss Velasquez's parents for the worst.

'They told us she would never be able to walk, talk or have a normal life,' said her mother, who has two other children with Miss Velasquez's father Lupe - both children are of average height and weight.

Despite the grim prognosis Miss Velasquez's brain, bones and internal organs developed normally but she was always very small.

At the age of two she was still only 15lbs - the same as the average five-month-old baby.

 

 

Born this way: Miss Velasquez, aged two, (left) and pictured a couple of years ago, right. The university student has never weighed more than 4.3stone. She went blind in one eye aged four

Born with two brown eyes, when Miss Velasquezwas four the right began to cloud and change hue. Doctors then discovered she had gone blind in that eye.

'They still don't know why it happened but now I have one blue and one brown eye.'

Miss Velasquez's case has fascinated doctors all over the world and she is part of a genetic study run by Professor Abhimanyu Garg at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas.

 

Support: Miss Velasquez with her supportive family, mother Rita, father Lupe, brother Chris and sister Marima. No one else in her family has the syndrome

Professor Garg and his team now believe Miss Velasquez may have a form of Neonatal Progeroid Syndrome (NPS), which causes accelerated ageing, fat loss from the face and body, and tissue degeneration. People with PRS often have triangular and prematurely aged faces with a pointy nose.

He said: 'I am aware of a small number of people that have similar conditions to Lizzie but each case is slightly different.

'We cannot predict what will happen to Lizzie in the future, as the medical community are yet to document older people with NPS.

'However Lizzie is lucky to have healthy teeth, organs and bones so the outlook is good. We will continue to study her case and learn from her.'

Miss Velasquez doesn't take medication but she relies on vitamin supplements and iron to stay healthy. It is thought she should be able to conceive naturally without passing the condition to her children.

Her new book is out on September 13.

You might want to sing It note for note

Don't worry be happy

Ain't got no place to lay your head

Somebody came and took your bed

Don't worry, be happy

The land lord say your rent is late

He may have to litigate

Don't worry, be happy

Look at me I am happy

Don't worry, be happy

Here I give you my phone number

When you worry call me

I make you happy

Don't worry, be happy

Ain't got no cash, ain't got no style

Ain't got not girl to make you smile

But don't worry be happy

Cause when you worry

Your face will frown

And that will bring everybody down

So don't worry, be happy (now).....

 

There is this little song I wrote

I hope you learn it note for note

Like good little children

Don't worry, be happy

Listen to what I say

In your life expect some trouble

But when you worry

You make it double

Don't worry, be happy......

Don't worry don't do it, be happy

Put a smile on your face

Don't bring everybody down like this

Don't worry, it will soon past

Whatever it is

Don't worry, be happy
