The Scammer

      The topic of today is The Scammer

What is a scam?
A dishonest scheme, or fraud according to the dictionary definition.

I was reading a story by The Sun, about a man who thought he had snapped up a £140K bungalow for 7K in an auction. Unfortunately, he soon found out that this was far from the truth. The man was deceived and instead recieved a 1ft wide strip of grass worth just £40.

That's right a strip of glass just worth £40!

I know I would have been angry, disappointed and probably on the verge of cursing everyone out, if I was in this position I don't know what I would have done.

But there is a message in this that can change your life.

Many of us are scammed in life. We invested in a relationship, a marriage, education and it didn't work out.

You didn't get what you signed up for. In the beginning it looked ideal, you saw it ending up just like in the movies.
But you were deceived.

This is also how it works for many of us Christians. The devil comes along and scams us, giving us everything we could imagine, he dresses it up nicely, we are so entertained and so caught up in the emotion we forget to check out the whole package, we make excuses or reasoning, we fall in love without thinking or asking the correct questions and seeing how that person walks out all that talk.

 We need to be diligent, because most of the time, people only let us see the good side, they show us the representative but not the full deal.

Just like this man got scammed, sometimes we get short changed.
And its time to wake up and stop being scammed.

Before you jump in and buy, make sure you read the small print.

And once you have read that small print and your happy to go ahead with that choice, remember you made that choice and there's no refund, so make it work.

Thankfully, there is also grace.
There is grace that covers our mistakes, so no matter what wrong turns you have made, maybe you have just come out of a relationship and need the grace of God because you feel short changed, you feel you have been scammed. Well guess what?
You seve a God that redeems and restores that will give you back everything you lost and give you greater.

Matthew 13
22 The seed falling among the thorns refers to someone who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, making it unfruitful. 23 But the seed falling on good soil refers to someone who hears the word and understands it. This is the one who produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown

 Keep the word in your heart. Every message you hear, take notes so that you can go back and re read it, otherwise Satan will come and take that word, as soon as you come out of that church service he will come and use someone to cut you up on the road, make you angry at church, or at home and then you act up because that word hasn't been sown in you. 

 That's why many times we forget what the Pastor preached (been there too) someone asks us what was the message and we just can't remember, it's because the devil has taken the word, and that word could have changed your life but it wasn't sown I'm the right place. 

 It's time to sow in the right place. There is no time for scams. Choose to be a reciever of every good thing God has for you, no counterfeit, just the perfect will of God. 
Jesus loves you 
Be blessed

What are your expectations?

Image
             Have a vision for your life! We all dream of  living the luxury life. A fancy car, a husband, kids, a nanny, a mansion, a successful career. The list goes on and on. It's a good thing to have a vision for your life, as long as you attach spiritual things to it as well. Yesterday, my Pastor was speaking on expectations and gave us a little secret, that many people and even Pastors get to church without the expectation of seeing Jesus. This registered to me, a lot, because on the way to church, in fact from the morning I woke up just knowing there was going to be a mighty move from God in our church service and I had great expectations not even just for the church service, but to see Jesus and expect great breakthrough and miracles. And God didn't disappoint. But many times we can loose sight of having expectations whether at church or for our lives. I realise I recently lost some hope in seeing great things, I had beg...

I don't know what to say

Image
             This might seem like another strange title, but again there's a message worth reading. At least I think there is. Have you ever felt like you just don't know what to say? You want to talk to someone but you have no idea where to start, so you find everything else to talk about. Well, I know I have, sometimes I over worry about what I am going to say or if I'm going to offend someone or hurt someone. I had been worrying about speaking to someone recently, even now, until I came across this scripture. Matthew 10:19  do not worry about what to say or how to say it.  At that time you will be given what to say,   20  for it will not be you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father  speaking through you. And that has now taken a lot of pressure off from myself.  So I wanted to encourage you, whenever you feel that you don't know what to say, ask for God to speak through you, to guide your words at the rig...

Do you even realise what you did wrong? - disobedient relationships cause delay! If God said no its a no.

Sometimes we don't understand the magnitude of the things we have done against God.  Walking, in disobedience is what will take you out of achieving the will of God in your life. The things you could have achieved if you had only been obedient. Being in fornication or in a relationship that you know God told you to get out of time a go, will keep you in disobedience, and will stop you receiving the great person that God has for you. That's how people get divorced so quickly. You were meant to wait on God, but you took the first thing that came a long, you knew in yourself you were not ready but just wanted the status and wanted to prove people wrong or was just desperate to be loved. But people won't be in that marriage with you. when your being beaten black and blue no one's going to be in that but you. Half of these marriages that we see are not what you think, and do not believe everyone that says God put us together and don't believe eve...
