Everyday People

“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Philippians 4:13 NKJV

“Everyday People” by Sly & The Family Stone is a song about unity, equality, and acceptance. It celebrates how we are the more alike than different. Released in 1968, the song was a direct response to the social and political divisions of the time.

The scriptures are filled with “everyday people” who have accomplished extraordinary things through their faith and faithfulness. God often uses everyday people to carry out His plans.

Why everyday people? Because they are humble and faithful. Those average Joe’s or plain Janes are often so much more than meets the eye. They are open, willing, and available to God’s will. In scripture he used everyday people to make his message relatable, showing others that God can work through anyone.

The scripture I chose to share tells us that no matter where we came from or what we have gone through we can do all things, through who? Christ who is our strength. He is not only our resource he is the very source that get things done. Jesus makes the difference.

Remember friends, we are each other’s keeper and the only time we should be looking down on someone is when we are helping them up.

You Better Act Like You Know

“Who is the King of Glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle.”  Psalm 24:8 KJV

This little phrase that I used for my title today, “you better act like you know” means you should behave as if you are knowledgeable and confident, even if you don’t feel that way. It can also be a form of pressure or a threat, implying that failing to do so will lead to negative consequences.

The scripture I shared today ask a question. Who is the king of glory?  Jesus who is strong and mighty, the Lord Jesus who defeated death is mighty in battle. Make no mistake about the scripture. Jesus is the King of Glory, Strong and Mighty. He is Messiah, Son of Man, Alpha and Omega, Emmanuel, Lamb of God, and Light of the World.

To me He is a friend I can talk to about anything. He has excellent advice when it comes to obstacles in my life, that is why he is a wonderful counselor. When these eyes of mine couldn’t see which way to go, he guided me with his eyes. In the stormy rains, his hand was my umbrella. Yes, In the middle of all the chaos, He said told that old storm to behave.

Remember friends, we are each other’s keeper and the only time we should be looking down on someone is when we are helping them up.

You Gotta a Weight/Wait

You Gotta a Weight/Wait

I Thessalonians 5:21, it reads, “Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.” And  Hebrews 10:23, it reads, Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised). Both from the King James Version

The title I have chosen to call this lesson does two things; ask a question and makes a statement. Trying to decide which word I wanted to use I ended up using them both. Do you know what the word homophones means?  It means the words sound just a like; however, they are spelled differently and have a different meaning.

Take my title for example, Weight and wait. The word weight (w-e-i-g-h-t) can be defined as heaviness, mass, load and a burden of pressure or force. It can also be the ability of someone or something to influence decisions or actions.

The word wait (w-a-i-t), means to stay where one is or delay action until a particular time or until something else happens. It also means standby, hold back, bide one’s time, hang fire, and hold tight.

When it comes to the first word, weight it can be the pressures we have in our lives, I am reminded we do have the Lord to whom we can bring all of our burdens to, don’t forget to leave them there. I am so thankful that we are not alone on this journey. God is there fighting all of our battles.

And the second word, wait, is expressed through the scripture, it says, “those that wait upon the Lord will renew their strength; they shall mount up wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.” Be of good courage my friends, God is going to strengthen our hearts no matter the weight/wait. All we gotta do is trust in Him. 

Remember friends, we are each other’s keeper and the only time we should be looking down on someone is when we are helping them up.

Hype Man

“You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” Acts 1:8 NIV

What is a hype man?  It can be defined as a supporting performer who builds excitement for a main act. This can often be seen at concerts where the hype man calls for the audience to responded to chants that will energize and build excitement for audience.  In a broader sense, a “hype person’ is any enthusiastic supporter of a person, group, or thing.

Did you know that you can be your own hype man according to scripture? Just look up the word encouragement. The action of encouraging our own souls, is an act of self-motivation, reframing perceived failures as learning opportunities, the actions of getting back up, even when we fall, and all while maintaining a positive outlook.

Jesus promises his followers will receive power from the real hype man, the “Holy Ghost.” He is the third person of the Trinity, a comforter, a teacher, and a source of power leading us to the truth. If you read on into Act chapter 2, you will see the importance of God’s timing, miraculous signs, full empowerment, the impact, and results.

Remember friends, we are each other’s keeper and the only time we should e looking down on someone is when we are helping them up.
