STAYING IN POSITION !


Do you know we have all been created for a purpose ?..we are here on earth to show forth God's praise and be a blessing to humanity! God has brought us to this world to be an eternal excellence and a joy to many generations..,,check out Isaiah 60 - 15....Do all to know this God of purpose and ask Him to help you live a life of purpose with whatever gift/talent, He has blessed you with! Stay in the place of your gifts and calling as you discover it....as it is that gifts/talent God will use to promote you..


David in 1 Samuel 17, knew his purpose and with the killing of Goliath came his promotion to a King! mind you, he had been in a position of slaying a bear, lion just to protect the sheeps under his care..This gift of care and protection of the weak/defenseless coupled with his love for God was what God saw to promote the little shepherd boy David from watching the backsides of sheeps to being a King over Isreal..a man after God's heart! May God help us all to stay in position to be blessed, favored and promoted in Jesus name amen! Enjoy this joke..remember..laughter is like medicine..it refreshes the soul, body and spirit..There is no dosage..laugh as often as you can!


An old Pastor, on his death bed asked for two members of his congregation to be brought to his home and when they came, he asked both of them to each stay on his right and left side..feeling honored, one of them asked him why he chose them to be by his side as he passed on.. in reply, he told them, just like Jesus Christ was crucified between two robbers in Mark 15-27, so i want to be between both of you!!! Staying in position indeed! lol (laugh out loud)!


Note: I wonder if they repented like one of the robbers/sinners crucified with Jesus Christ ...

HAVING THE LAST LAUGH!


I have declared this month a month of marching forward and my scripture reading for the month has been the entire book of Esther...a remarkable book indeed, This is one book in the bible that God is not mentioned but you can see His hidden hands behind every chapter!

The story in Esther is that of an orphan who later became queen and finally saved the Jews from the hand of a conniving Haman...she and the entire jewish people had the last laugh as a result of her wisdom and favor she found with the king!

Indeed Wisdom is the principal thing..as we face that challenges in our lives this month, may we apply wisdom and the God of Esther will help us all have the last laugh!


Enjoy the joke below... this is not meant to diss Africans but to show our creative side..am proud to be an African without apologies!..if i was in the person shoes, i may do same as per money to bring corpses from Overseas is more than money for a living person travelling! lol


Who else can do this but an African ! A family in Africa was puzzled when the coffin of their dead mother arrived from Overseas , sent by their sister. The tiny corpse was so tightly squeezed inside the coffin that their mother's face was practically touching the glasscover. When they opened the coffin, they found a letter from their sister pinned to their mother's chest, which read:


Dearest brothers and sisters,I am sending you our mother's remains for burial in Africa . Sorry Icouldn't come along as the expenses were so high. You will find inside the coffin, under Mama's body, 12 cans of Libby's corned beef and12 cans of Luncheon Meat. Just divide it amongst yourselves.

On Mama's feet is a brand-new pair of Reeboks (size 8) for Junior. There are four pairs of Reeboks under Mama's head for Rick's sons. Mama is wearing six Ralph Lauren T-shirts - one is for Donald, Roy and the rest are for my nephews. Mama is also wearing one dozen Wonder Bras (your favourite), just divide them among yourselves. The 2 dozen Victoria 's Secret panties that Mama is wearing should be distributed among my nieces and cousins.


Mama is also wearing eight Dockers pants - James, please get one for yourself and the rest are for the boys. The Swiss watch you asked for is on Mama's left wrist, please get it. Aunty Kiki: Mama is wearing what you asked for - earrings, rings and a necklace; please take them. Also, the sixpairs of Chanel stockings that Mama is wearing must be divided among the teen-age girls there. I hope they like the colours.Your loving sister, Nene


P.S. Please take care of finding a nice dress for Mama for her burial. (YOU MAY GO TO ANY FLEA OR THRIFT SHOP FOR A CHEAP DRESS..) In case you need anything that I may have forgotten, please let me know as UNCLE IS NOT FEELING TOO WELL!...SO FUNNY!! Enjoy your week!
