Do you find yourself at a crossroads today? Do you have a choice or decision to make to get to your desired destination? Are you wondering what the best plan is? The best plan is always the one with Jesus Christ at the very center. "Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and He will establish your plans." (Proverbs 16:3—NIV) With Christ there is always success for He never fails us and always forgives and restores us when we fail Him. He is "the pioneer and perfecter of faith." (Hebrews 12:2a—NIV) Instead of trying to figure it all out or come up with the perfect plan covering every contingency, just focus on keeping Christ at the center of "whatever you do, and He will establish your plans" and accomplish His good will and perfect purpose. Sounds like a plan!

All true knowledge must acknowledge God. "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge." (Proverbs 1:7—NIV) In this motto you will find the overall theme of the practical book of Proverbs. True knowledge begins with "the fear of the LORD," which is real respect and submissive reverence to God as Creator and Ruler. This is the starting point and continuing key to wisdom and acquiring the practical skills essential to living. Wisdom and the much-sought-after success that is guaranteed by it and generated from it are not acquired by some formula or list of principles, but through a right relationship with God, that is realized by embracing Jesus Christ, "the power of God and the wisdom of God." (1 Corinthians 1:24—NIV)

BREAKFAST WITH PASTOR LENNIE: "There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. Corinthians 10:13" As a child of God, complaining over any given issue and challenge does not solve it but rather makes it worse. The opening scripture is vivid to the fact that every child of God is prone to temptation. If Jesus Christ went through it, we will also go through it. Instead of complaining and feeling affrighted, look for the way of escape which God has provided in the midst of the temptation so that you will be able to overcome it as Jesus did, Matthew 4:1-11. We have been given the assurance that the temptation is within our scope of abilities to overcome. Therefore, if you fall as a Christian in the midst of temptation, quickly get up and look for the way of escape in the Holy Scriptures and overcome the temptation. There is always a second chance for you to rewrite your failure into success.

I don’t really care for the standalone statement, “the truth will set you free.” It’s short and easy to share, but separated from the context it is often co-opted as a generic statement to indicate that whatever truth a person believes in will set them free. No, “the truth will set you free” is very specific. IF and only if we abide in the words of Jesus, then we are His true disciples. And only if we are His true disciples will we know the truth. If we are truly His disciples THEN we will know the truth. Finally, the truth, that only comes from abiding (reading, understanding, and obeying) His word will allow us to be set free. No one who is not a true disciple of Christ can know the real truth, and therefore no one who is not a true disciple of Christ can experience the freedom that He gives. No beloved, don’t expect true freedom without first abiding in His word and being a true disciple. If you are so inclined, feel free to share this message.

Let’s End The Week Right    Week 8 Transformation Challenge   Scripture Reading   Matthew 16:26: “And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul?”   Reflection   In our verse, Jesus is warning us to check and choose what we value carefully. The world says we need to take care of #1, that is, ourselves is we want to survive. But Jesus taught that servanthood, serving others as He demonstrated time and again. He also said, “So the last will be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few chosen.” (Matthew 20:16) If we want to prosper in this life with Heaven as our end, we need to choose Jesus and His will and way for our lives.    Prayer and Contemplation   The challenge is to take this word, meditate upon it, and listen to God in what He is saying for your life through it. 1. What things are you placing your values in?  2. Has the possession you are striving for brought peace, or have they been disappointing?

As people of God we are not meant to follow rules but follow God. If we are obeying commandments without considering God then we are at some level doing it for ourselves. The point of God's law is to grow in our relationship with God and this calls for us putting God ahead of everything else. Only when we walk with Jesus can we start seeing the world like God does: wisdom.

1 Samuel 30:11,15 And they found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David, and gave him bread, and he did eat; and they made him drink water; And David said to him, Canst thou bring me down to this company? And he said, Swear unto me by God, that thou wilt neither kill me, nor deliver me into the hands of my master, and I will bring thee down to this company. *Inspirational Message* Successes do not just happen they work their up and out,, strategizing their way into becoming what they should be. Every success you see is succeeding because the know something that every other person does not know. One of the principles they uphold is the fact that People Are Important. Inasmuch as we don't depend on people, neither is our trust in people but we must value them. Jesus Christ valued people so much that He died for humanity. He was willing to suffer shame, endure the stripes and be misjudged, just to see people save. The Bible tells us that He was without sin yet He went to the cross and died for mankind, because he valued people. Do you know know that with the right kind of people in your life , you can win battles without lifting a finger? People are key holders, value them and you just may have the key to the next level in life. Good Morning. People are key holders, value them and you just may have the key to the next level in life. Do have a glorious day today, in Jesus Name
