GOD'S PROMISES ARE YES AND AMEN !

2 Corinthians 1 - 20 says "For no matter, how many promises God has made, they are "YES" in Christ. And so through him,the "Amen" is spoken by us to the glory of God".

Mark 11: 22 - 24 agrees to what i say above
22And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.
23For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
24Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

2 Chronicles 20 - 20: So they rose early in the morning and went out into the Wilderness of Tekoa; and as they went out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, “Hear me, O Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem: Believe in the LORD your God, and you shall be established; believe His prophets, and you shall prosper!

Lets note that the devil keeps us distracted from reading the bible, so we can not see God's words and promises concerning us...Get in the word of God and pray His promises to pass in your life in Jesus name amen! Enjoy the joke below..

A woman was complaining and saying to her husband that he never says he loves her..in response, the man answered and said..i said i love you, the day, we got married, if i change my mind, i will let you know!..lol!hahahaha

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 ...

THE POWER OF THE RESURRECTED CHRIST !

Happy resurrection sunday! A day that symbolizes the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ..this is what defines Christianity..the power of the resurrected Christ..Jesus Christ that is alive forever! Other tombs of other religious leaders have evidence to show that their occupants were buried and are there but the grave of Jesus is empty because He is alive! May the power of the resurrection bring to life, every dead situation in your life in Jesus name amen! Know Jesus, Know Life, No Jesus, No life! Indeed, His death, burial and resurrection is the reason for the good news, we share as Christians! Hallelujah to the Lord for the finished work on the cross of Calvary!

A woman that was in a marriage counselling session, told her counsellor that her husband was a "selfish fox" and the counsellor asked her why she called her husband that..she said.. he won a ticket for two to hawaii and he went to Hawaii alone twice!!!! What a man!lol

APPRECIATING THE FINISHED WORK JESUS CHRIST DID ON THE CROSS !

Its our month of Resurrection and thanks to God for all He did by sending Jesus Christ to die for us at the cross! His love for mankind took Christ to the cross as John 3 : 16 said..For God so love the world that He gave His only Begotten son, that whoever believes in Him, will not perish but have everlasting life...Your believing is appreciating the finished work Christ did at the cross..indeed, we will cherish the old rugged cross and one day, God will crown us in heaven! Kindly meditate on Psalm 107 as you go through this month of appreciating God through Christ Jesus and the finished work on the cross that has given us Salvation, new life, new beginning, promotion, good health, wealth, joy, laughter etc ! Enjoy the joke below, a dear friend sent it to me via forwarded mail!

This one is priceless... A lesson to be learned from typing the wrong email address!!!!

A Minneapolis couple decided to go to Florida to thaw out during a particularly icy winter. They planned to stay at the same hotel where they spent their honeymoon 20 years earlier. Because of hectic schedules, it was difficult to coordinate their travel schedules. So, the husband left Minnesota and flew toFlorida on Thursday, with his wife flying down the following day.

The husband checked into the hotel. There was a computer in his room, so he decided to send an email to his wife. However, he accidentally left out one letter in her email address, and without realizing his error, sent the email.

Meanwhile, somewhere in Houston , a widow had just returned home from her husband's funeral. He was a minister who was called home to glory following a heart attack. The widow decided to check her email expecting messages from relatives and friends. After reading the first message, she screamed and fainted.

The widow's son rushed into the room, found his mother on the floor, and saw the computer screen which read:

To: My Loving Wife

Subject: I've Arrived

Date: October 16, 2005

I know you're surprised to hear from me. They have computers here now and you are allowed to send emails to your loved ones. I've just arrived and have been checked in. I've seen that everything has been prepared for your arrival tomorrow.Looking forward to seeing you then!!!! Hope your journey is as uneventful as mine was.

P.S Sure is freaking hot down here!!!..LOL

JESUS CHRIST - THE GREATEST MAN FOREVER !

Jesus Christ was the greatest man in History and will be forever.
His birth can not be explained in human terms as He was conceived of a Virgin mother!..(Check the first Chapters of the book of Matthew & Luke).

His mother, Mary's visit to her Aunt Elizabeth caused the baby in her womb to leap.

His birthplace was in a manger surrounded by animals. Shepherds came to pay homage as directed by an angel.

Wise men also came from the east to pay homage bringing with them Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh as gifts.

The day, He was taken to the temple to be presented as specified, was seen as an answer to prayers by a devout man Simeon, who had been told he will not die until he saw the Messiah, the Prophetess Anna too witnessed to baby Jesus Greatness!

At age twelve, He was already sitting among teachers in the temple, listening and asking them questions....

Jesus had no servants, yet they called Him Master.

Had no degree, yet they called Him Teacher.

Had no medicines, yet they called Him Healer

He had no army, yet kings feared Him..

He won no military battles, yet He conquered the world.
He committed no crime, yet they crucified Him.
He was buried in a tomb, yet He lives today.
I feel honored to serve such a Man and Saviour who loves me unconditionally, and paid for my life with His very own blood !.....

Learn and laugh at the joke below!

Why You Should Study Your Bible

Acts 2:38.

A woman had just returned to her home from an evening of church service , when she was startled by an intruder.. She caught the man in the act of robbing her home of its valuables and yelled: 'Stop! Acts 2:38!' (Repent and be Baptized, in the name of Jesus Christ , so that your sins may be forgiven.)

The burglar stopped in his tracks. The woman calmly called the police and explained what she had done. As the officer cuffed the man to take him in, he asked the burglar: 'Whydid you just stand there? All the old lady did was yell a scripture at you...' 'Scripture?' replied the burglar.. 'She said she had an ax and two 38s!'..lol !

Remember: Knowing the Scriptures can save your life - in more ways than one!

Baked Beans

One day I met a sweet gentleman and fell in love. When it became apparent that we would marry, I made the supreme sacrifice and gave up beans. Some months later, on my birthday, my car broke down on the way home from work. Since I lived in the countryside I called my husband and told him that I would be late because I had to walk home.

On my way, I passed by a small diner and the odor of baked beans was more than I could stand. With miles to walk, I figured that I would walk off any ill effects by the time I reached home, so I stopped at the diner and before I knew it, I had consumed three large orders of baked beans. All the way home, I made sure that I released all the gas. Upon my arrival, my husband seemed excited to see me and exclaimed delightedly: 'Darling I have a surprise for dinner tonight.' He then blindfolded me and led me to my chair at the dinner table. I took a seat and just as he was about to remove my blindfold, the telephone rang.....

He made me promise not to touch the blindfold until he returned and went to answer the call.The baked beans I had consumed were still affecting me and the pressure was becoming most unbearable, so while my husband was out of the room I seized the opportunity, shifted my weight to one leg and let one go. It was not only loud, but it smelled like a fertilizer truck running over a skunk in front of a pulpwood mill . I took my napkin from my lap and fanned the air around me vigorously. Then, shifting to the other cheek, I let off three more. The smell was worse than cooked cabbage. Keeping my ears carefully tuned to the conversation in the other room, I went on like this for another few minutes. The pleasure was indescribable....

When eventually the telephone farewells signaled the end of my freedom, I quickly fanned the air a few more times with my napkin, placed it on my lap and folded my hands back on it feeling very relieved and pleased with myself. My face must have been the picture of innocence when my husband returned, apologizing for taking so long. He asked me if I had peeked through the blindfold, and I assured him I had not. At this point, he removed the blindfold, and twelve dinner guests seated around the table chorused: 'Happy Birthday!' I fainted!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Truly Hilarious!

Three men got lost in the forest and were captured by cannibals. Thecannibal king told them they could live if they pass a test. The first step of the test was to go to the forest and get ten pieces of the same kind of fruit. So all three men went separate ways to gather fruits.

The first one came back and said to the king, "I brought ten apples."The king then explained the test to him. "You have to shove the fruits up your butt without any expression on your face or you'll be eaten."The first apple went in.. but on the second one he winced out in pain, so he was killed.

The second one arrived and showed the king ten berries. When the king explained the test to him he thought this should be easy. So in they went 1..2..3..4..5..6..7..8.. and on the 9th berry he burst out in laughter and was killed.

The first guy and the second guy met in heaven. The first one asked, "Why did you laugh, you almost got away with it?" The second one replied, "I couldn't help it, I saw the third guy coming with pineapples!" ...LOL!
