Prayer and Witness!
This is a great time of the year to share our faith with others and also to start something new in our prayer lives?
Good weather and holidays brings people out and there is almost unlimited opportunities for us to start a conversation, make new friends and listen to others problems, before we take not and go home to pray or share with our fellowships!
We will be rejected by some, but others will want someone to listen to their situation as someone listened to ours that lead us to faith in Jesus!
Psalm 145:2, Proverbs 15:29, Matthew 6:1-4, 6, Romans 12:2, 12, Philippians 1:19, Hebrews 10:10.

Fire People? One.
Living in the power of God!
When we are born-again we are given an internal fire or power that helps us to be active for God! There are many issues today in the Church, which stop believers from remaining active, such as criticism and unbelief!
But if we are empowered we will not stop, since our witness will be done in secret or rather we will not brag about it to others?
At the end of the day our service for the Kingdom is to know that we are in partnership with Jesus and this is not a work of self!
John 1:7, 5:32, Acts 23:11, Philippians 1:5-6, Hebrews 2:4.

Fatty Issues. Two.
Food Attraction?
One is cheap food and the other is offers or meal deals that fool us into thinking we are getting more for less? The truth is less for more money over that of buying and cooking for ourselves!
Fat people are not poor people, there are as many rich and fat people too in most western societies and the same principle as mentioned above applies to them too!
What is the answer to help people loose weight, walking, having a dog, getting a job? That has been the traditional view for a long time, but it don't work, because it has to be our will to do it for ourselves!
No one can become a believer in the death and resurrection of Jesus, without seeking their need for Him, confessing and repenting and not returning to what we once were!
Proverbs 15:27, Matthew 5:6, Romans 8:26-27, 1 Thessalonians 2:8, 1 Peter 4:3.

Social Media! Part-Three.
Cultural Music Attack?
Many are now starting to question the viability of Rap and Driller music, because with the use of social media transfer it is believed to be encouraging the ongoing gang violence?
It was interesting to note how quick the rappers came up to defend their music, which the most profitable at this time in digital sales! But nothing was considered by them in relation to changing some of their language that seems to encourage violence and murder?
The problem that lays with many similar communities is their lack of taking responsibility and this is not limited to Black culture, because much of white society is not much better if not worse in other ways!
Psalm 37:1, Matthew 12:36, Romans 4:8.

Fatty Issues. One.
Later in life Illnesses?
Weight is a serious problem in the western world today, but it nothing new accept now it is more widespread than before and more children are obese?
Everyone is talking or reporting, but no one is dealing with all the social issues that cause these problems! Work hours, depression, addictions, social disruption, greed, and laziness are some of the problems that are causing the further breakdown of the family unity?
The other factor is that we are bombarded with media advertising on both TV and radio, if not the mobile phone and the Internet?
The bible talks about fat people too and it also encourages one to exercise both physically and mentally!
Psalm 36:8, Judges 3:22, Proverbs 13:4, 1 Timothy 4:8.

A British Royal Wedding!
Fire, Love, Vows?
Its a time for change in the British Royal family and may it continue over colour and religions, but may these marriages last the trial of life?
Saturday 19th May was Pentecost and the theme was Love and Fire, accompanied by the vows of promises to each other and to God!
Love is something that is much said in our world today, but many of us who have come from broken homes and witnessing domestic violence know how much it was lacking from mum and dad?
But because Jesus found us, He has given us the fullness of His Love in accepting us and yet He was rejected by all at the Cross/stake/tree!
Matthew 18:18, 19:5-6, Acts 2:3, Ephesians 4:13, 1 John 3:18, 4:8, Genesis 2:24, Numbers 6:21.

Ascension and Pentecost!
Leaving, Holy Spirit and promised Return.
The Disciples were privileged to see Jesus their risen Lord return to Heaven, ten days later they received the Holy Spirit in the Temple of Jerusalem, Roman occupied Israel!
This time the Holy Spirit was given to all believers and there were many more from all over the known world that day of Shavout, Jews from the very east, south and west.
Today believers live in that same empowerment to reach out to the dying, decaying world around us! But we are also waiting the return of Jesus, who every eye will see when the sky is torn apart!
We have no time or date for His promised return, but we have been told not to be found naked and be alert for He will come like a thief in the Night!
Acts 1:6-11, 2:3, 19:6, Exodus 23:16, Matthew 25:36-44. 2 Peter 3:10, Revelation 3:3, 16:5.
