My Best Compliment "Idiot"

While preaching and evangelizing in the streets today, I got my best compliment. A man in his car shouted, "Stop wasting your time, idiot." I shouted back to him, "God bless you." Then he retorted, "Shut up idiot".

He was vexed by the two-sided gospel signs I was carrying that said, "Jesus is Lord, Repent and Believe." On the other side it said, "All have Sinned. Repent, Turn, And Trust Christ.”

It's an honor to be called “idiot” for Christ’s sake. Lord, I thank you. Please Lord, bless this man and reveal yourself to him and many others who were today, confronted with the truth of the gospel, and save them.

Maybe this vexed man has seen me on previous Sundays preaching at the same spot. This is a confirmation that I should not stop, and especially at this location. 

Saints, please join me to pray for this man that we will see him in heaven by God’s mercy and grace. In heaven, he can then apologize and hug me and other Saints. Lol.

Of course, there were other  people who were happy to see God’s word preached. In everything, we thank God. Let’s continue telling all people about Jesus so He will save them. We were all like the unsaved, “BUT GOD” in His mercy and grace saved us. Ephesians 2:5.

Listen to Jesus:

 “Blessed [morally courageous and spiritually alive with life-joy in God’s goodness] are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil things against you because of [your association with] Me. 12 Be glad and exceedingly joyful, for your reward in heaven is great [absolutely inexhaustible]; for in this same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.” Matthew 5:11-12 AMP.

Have you trusted Christ? If not, confess your sins, ask Jesus to forgive you, and declare Him your Lord and Savior who died for your sins. Jesus was dead, buried, risen and alive, so you will live forever with all the Saints because Jesus lives forever as God and King. Amen.

THANKSGIVING

THANKSGIVING Happy summer friends. My eyes were opened to this Scripture I have never seen before. I thought to share: " The Levites were Jeshua, Binnui, Kadmiel, Sherebiah, Judah, and Mattaniah who was in charge of the songs of thanksgiving and praise, he and his brothers." - Nehemiah 12:8 AMP. Context: Nehemiah and the Jews from the Babylonia exile of seventy years have just finished rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem despite all attacks and intimidation of their enemies. It is now time of dedication. Thanksgiving and praise were so important that some Levite priests were appointed for this purpose. Look who was in charge, "Mattaniah" which means "God’s gift or Hope." It speaks volumes to me. You and I are "in charge of Thanksgiving and Praise" to God in our lives. God is our gift and Hope. In Thanksgiving, we acknowledge, honor and worship The Source - God. Gratitude will elevate your attitude and altitude to God and people. Apostle Paul sums u

Forgive My Arrogance of Unbelief

  Forgive My Arrogance of Unbelief It just dawned on me that we literally die daily at night and we call it sleep. Then, in the morning, God in His mercy wakes us up to live for another day, perhaps. Please stop and think about it. "Selah."  While asleep, we are temporarily in a different world. When we truly understand what God has set in motion from the beginning of time, how dare us not to trust Him for every second. I now see my foolish arrogance not to wholeheartedly trust, depend and rely on God's love, mercy and kindness for every second. What can we brag about that God has not given us? You may be thinking about material things. No, I am thinking about life itself. Without life, there are no things to acquire and accumulate. Moreover, we only acquire and accumulate what already exists and provided by God in His mercy. I will confess that it has never hit me (with a four by four) to this level before. The words of Jesus, the Creator, in John 14:1 did it. In fact, i
