Daily Devotional – 11/17/15 “God’s investment in us!”

God has made an investment in us, will it pay off? Yea, will the investment God made in us be worth anything to Him or will He lose big? I’m not speaking of God’s investment like you think of investing money but I’m thinking along the lines of this definition … time, energy, or matter spent in the hope of future benefits actualized within a specified date or time frame. Let me explain what I mean. If God has invested a gift in you, will anything manifest from it before you die? If God has invested a calling on your life, will it pay-off while you have time? If God has invested an anointing on you to help folk, will you do it before you are buried in a dusty grave? If God has invested the time in you to repair your broken heart, will you allow it to love again before it stops beating? If God has invested energy into making you brand new, will you convert back to your old self? If God has invested so much into us, will it pay off before the death angel stops by our house? I’m only asking the question, do you have an answer?

I’ve come to realize that worrying makes me frown so I’m taking the strength and the power of prayer that has been invested in me to spiritually fight instead. I’ve come to know that complaining makes me nag so I’m taking the blessings of everyday and turning them into edible fruit to be able to help somebody else. Yea, see being rude makes me ugly so I’m taking the love that God has invested in me and loving the hell out of folk. I’m taking the investment of favor and forgiving. I’m taking the investment of mercy and moving on. I’m taking the investment of grace and glorifying God. I refuse to allow the investment that has been made in me go to waste. I refuse to allow God’s investment in me to come back void. 1 Peter 4:10-11 says this, “God has given each of you a gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another. Do you have the gift of speaking? Then speak as though God himself were speaking through you. Do you have the gift of helping others? Do it with all the strength and energy that God supplies. Then everything you do will bring glory to God through Jesus Christ. All glory and power to him forever and ever! Amen.” Don’t allow your investment to be invalid!

Didn’t your mother teach you that actions have consequences?

Camille’s life seems to be going downhill fast and she can’t put her foot on the brake. After being nominated for judge, she’s looking to celebrate a silver lining in the chaos she calls her life however, walking into her hotel room, she finds a mystery person lying in wait. She is forced to come face to face with a gun and the last person she’d ever expect to be holding it, all with the media and a ballroom full of people waiting.

On top of that, her already shaky marriage is starting to crumble before her eyes. With the media digging in every aspect of her life, she has to keep up appearances but it’s hard with all the skeletons in her closet. Will she be able to keep it up with her husband’s pregnant side chick and her secret life of sex and lies about to hit the fan?

What’s a girl to do? Can she fix the mess she’s in before it takes away everything she has? Did therapy crack the wall she has up and allow her to give up being nasty and try being nice? Or will her actions leave her with more consequences than she can conquer?

Daily Devotional – 11/16/15 “Yet I’m still saved!”

I heard the song on the radio by Donald Lawrence titled, “Yet I’m still saved” and it went all through me. See, it doesn’t matter what you go through, you should be coming out saying yet I’m still saved. Yes I know the enemy has been showing out lately but proclaim, yet I’m still saved. Ok, the doctor has given you upsetting news, declare yet I’m still saved. You’re up this morning preparing for another procedure, another round of chemo, another dialysis treatment but say with me, yet I’m still saved. Yea, you probably checked your bank account this morning knowing good and well you got paid on Friday even though it doesn’t look like it but shout with me, yet I’m still saved. You may be trying to overcome the addiction but it seems easier said than done, say yet I’m still saved. Folk in the congregation acting up but declare, yet I’m still saved. This world were living in is in a disastrous state but announce so that they know, yet I’m still saved.

Beloved, whatever situation or circumstance you go through you should still come out saved. It doesn’t matter that folk have drug your name through the mud, come out still saved. It doesn’t matter that you got pregnant out-of-wedlock, go through it yet come out still saved. I get it; you’ve made your share of mistakes but come out still saved. Stop paying attention to the naysayers, stop dwelling on the fact that you’ve fallen down, stop staying in the pit of misery, stop throwing in the towel every time it gets hard; fight and come out still saved. Yes, the enemy may be camped outside your house with picket signs; he may show up at your worship place on Sunday, he may try to ruin bible study and choir rehearsal or he may be causing all kinds of hell in your family; come out still saved. Why? Because when you come out still saved, you can repent for the sins you’ve committed and be forgiven. When you come out still saved, you’ll still have the protection and covering of God. When you come out still saved, you can understand that even though I’ve fallen, you can get back up. If you decree that no matter what you face yet I am still saved, you’ll start to believe it and then walk in it. No matter what it looks like, say yet I’m still saved. Pain in my body, I’m still saved. Marriage in trouble yet I’m still saved. Job laid you off, yet I’m still saved. Temporarily out of funds, yet I’m still saved. Saved folk acting worse than the unsaved, yet I’m still saved! Go in saved and come out declaring yet I’m still saved!

–“Be on guard. Stand firm in the faith. Be courageous. Be strong (1 Corinthians 16:13).”

Daily Devotional – 11/13/15 “Tap into it!”

Chile, I’m alive this morning which means I troubled the enemy’s attack one more time! Yea, his mission is to destroy; well so is mine. I get up every day, intent on troubling the enemy’s attack against me. How do I do it? By living! If you’re reading this, you have the same power; you just need to tap into it! It doesn’t matter that your storm is in full effect right now because when you got up and your feet hit solid ground that should have been enough for you to know, God is still fighting on your behalf. Yea, you may be without a job but God is the ultimate provider and He won’t let you want for anything, if you trust Him. You could be like me and have to pay more bills than you got money but I’ve found God to be an unlimited supply of grace and mercy; He won’t let us lack. Oh, sickness may be attacking your body but if your eyes open, it didn’t win either. Man of God, I know folk are making your assignment hard but keep right on standing where you’ve been placed, the attacks may come against you but they won’t amount to anything. Woman of God, you may have more obstacles than opportunities but don’t allow them to overcome you – you got this because God doesn’t make quitters! Child of God; if you’re in your pit of depression, frustration, humiliation, addiction, fornication, rejection or whatever else has you bound – tap out and let God tap in and praise your way out!

You don’t have to remain in that funky state you’re in. Even if you’re temporarily out of funds, praise God! Even if you’re sick, praise God. Even if the enemy seems to have your address memorized, praise God! Baby, prayer will get you through some stuff that should have killed you. Prayer will get you away from some people who could have messed up your anointing! Prayer will change your circumstance. Prayer will even change your name! I know what prayer will do. Stop allowing what you see to overshadow what cannot be seen. You have a purpose and plan on your life; you just have to believe enough in yourself to tap into it! I believe in me, if no one else does. I love me, if man doesn’t. I know I’m beautiful, I don’t need anybody to pump me up. God does enough for me every day to know for myself, I’m blessed. All you have to do is tap into your innermost parts and believe in the anointing that’s fills your spirit and you too will be greater than you are.

Daily Devotional – 11/12/15 “Stop letting them do it!”

Stop allowing yourself to be limited in your capabilities when God has already anointed your calling. Baby, when will you stop looking and listening to folk for validation and look to God for elevation? When will you tap folk out and tap God in? When will you trust in your Father? So what, if man says women shouldn’t preach; preach anyway! You don’t have to be in their unsanctified pulpits anyhow because God will send you places they’ve never been! So what if they say you aren’t qualified on paper, don’t allow it to stop you from using your gift because God will make it to where they HAVE to call you! So what if they say your ministry, business, relationship or job wouldn’t make it? You don’t have to prove nothing to them, prove your devotion to God and let Him show them. Yea, I know you thought your credit was capable of getting that loan but beloved, God will make it so the money will be given without you having to pay it back. It doesn’t matter that folk don’t think you can handle the assignment, allow them to watch you in your anointing. What folk say shouldn’t ever be the reason you don’t. What folk think of you shouldn’t ever be the cause as to why you didn’t!

If you walk up to a door that’s locked and you wait until someone comes along to open it, you may be waiting a while. Oh but if you knock, you have a better chance of someone on the inside letting you in. The bible says, “Knock and the door …” If you say you’re coming over to my house, I will not stand at the window until you get there but if you knock, I’ll let you in. I may not know you’re in need but if you ask, it shall be given (that’s bible)! So tell me again why you are waiting on somebody who doesn’t have the qualified credentials to call your name? That’s like going to the doctor’s office without signing in, you may not ever get called. Oh but if you sign in to God, not only will He call your name but He’ll place your name in the mouth of folk who you don’t even know. When you allow God to do it for you, He’ll place your feet on grounds you’ve never even heard of. When you allow God to work it out for you, you’ll see places you only dreamed of. Stop allowing folk to dictate who you are when God has made you an heir to the kingdom. Stop letting them do it!
