True Ministry

This is a true story - My friend Melissa is kind hearted person - A 67 year old woman who lived up the street from her would walk past her house every day to catch the bus for work.  In the early winter mornings and in the evenings, she would see the woman walking up the long street. Whenever my friend would see the woman walking, she would stop to give her a ride home. Sometimes my friend would run in to her at the grocery store.  She would graciously gather the woman's bags, place them in her car and drive her home. Melissa  even gave the woman her phone number and told her if she ever needed anything or a ride to the store she could call her. A friendship formed over the years and Melissa began inviting the woman to her home church.  The woman gladly accepted and accompanied Melissa to church on a few occasions. For the past few months my friend noticed that she had not seen the woman walking up the street.  A few days ago my friend learned that the woman, her friend was killed. She was hit by a truck while crossing a busy street.  My friend was devastated. As my friend shared her story all I could think of is how she was a blessing to a total stranger.

 True ministry is not only about standing behind a pulpit or being a missionary serving over seas - True ministry is being a light right where you are, work school or home. It is helping the poor and the unfortunate, and giving to those who can never repay you.  It is serving with out being recognized or even thanked for a job well done.  It is being a friend to the friendless and showing compassion.  The world has enough well knows-God is looking for the unknown's who serve Him out of purity of heart.

Miriam

Miriam was the big sister of Moses. Her name (sometimes rendered as Mary in English) means 'bitter' although it could also signify 'one who loves or is loved by Yahweh'. Yahweh means 'the self-existent one'. Yahweh is one of the ways the children of Israel referred to God. Meet the family Amram and Jochebed were the father and mother of Miriam, Aaron and Moses. Moses was the youngest of the three yet became the leader of the pack (Exodus 2:3-4; Exodus 6:20; Numbers 26:59). Moses was the man who led Israel out of Egypt. As the big sister of the family Miriam knew all the secrets. Women often get to know about things that men don't. When Pharaoh of Egypt decreed the death of all Israel baby boys in a desperate attempt to curb the growth of Israel, Amram and Jochebed put baby Moses into a waterproof basket and set it on the river in an attempt to save his life. It was Miriam who was watching the basket when the daughter of Pharaoh discovered it. It w...

What Happen To Your Rulership?

My desire is for women to be restored to their rightful place of rulership of Grace, Femininity, Beauty, Temperance, and Excellence.  Together they work from within and shine outwardly. The enemy of our soul works counterclockwise in that he uses the exterior and destroys what is on the inside. There is a direct correlation between rulership and judgment.  In order to effectively rule, there must be the practice of sound judgment.  When rulership is void of sound judgment, a poor rulership is inevitable.  Rulership is a choice.  You can either rule or be ruled.  Walking in rulership is important because it sets order and establishes boundaries.  God (YAH) has given us rulership over our conduct, appearance, and speech.  These things have rulership over you by choice. Rulership is the difference between YAH's people and the world. Rulership is living the way YAH (God) intended for us to live before the foundation of the world. It is time ...

Deborah

Deborah was a prophet, a leader (otherwise known as a Judge) in Israel as well as the wife of Lappidoth (Judges 4:4).  Deborah means 'bee'. Bees are responsible for pollination of flowering plants. Pollination is what creates seeds that grow into other plants. One third of the human food supply depends on insect pollination of plants and bees play a major role in this 1 . The biblical Deborah, like a bee, fulfilled an active and vital role in bringing life to the community. Background After the death of Joshua, the man who had led the Israelites into the land of Canaan, God raised up Judges to lead and rule Israel. The first Judges God used were Othniel, Ehud and Shamgar (Judges 3). And then came Deborah. In Deborah's day Israel had no overall leader. Everyone did whatever they pleased and the nation fell into sin and were oppressed by the Canaanites (Judges 21:25). Jabin was the Canaanite king during the era of Deborah. Sisera was the commander of Jabin's...
