Welcome Valentines Day

They sure don’t make em' like Jim Johnson anymore. If you saw the movie “Hidden Figures”, you know what I'm referring to. I have always heard that if a man truly loves a woman he will do whatever he must do to have her. I’m not certain what percentage of women would agree with this statement, but I believe there is some authenticity to it.

Many of you are familiar with the story of Jacob and Rachel of the Old Testament - (Paraphrasing) After Jacob was beguiled by Rachel’s father, believing the woman he was marrying was indeed his beloved Rachel. Awaken the next morning to discover he had married Leah, Rachel’s older sister. Jacob devastated inquired of Rachel’s father of what he had done. He said to Jacob, “I will give you Rachel as well, but you must serve me another seven years”. Jacob served another seven years for Rachel, but it seemed like only days to him, because he loved her. This is what I call love.

Please read the full account in Genesis Chapter 29

My personal favorite of what I refer to as true love comes from a passage in Matthew, 13:44-46

The Parable of the Hidden Treasure

44 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid; and for joy, over it, he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.

The Parable of the Pearl of Great Price

⁴⁵“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking beautiful pearls, 46who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had and bought it.

I believe when you meet that right person it brings joy to your heart. It causes you to do things you never imagined. Life just feels good. I call it euphoria to the tenth degree. There is something beautiful about falling in love. I mean falling in love with the right person that is. Love protects and takes pleasure in being good to you. Sometimes as women we are so eager to have a man that we tend to settle just to say we have one, but in the end, you pay a price. I believe God wants us to have His best. In order to have His best, it is important for us to know how valuable and loved we are by our heavenly Father. As you begin to comprehend how loved you are by God, it will change you. His love revealed to you will help you to become more discerning of a person's true character.

Know your worth

You are like a treasure hidden in a field

A pearl of great price

Happy Valentine’s Day

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...
