THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
EAT TO LIVE
We eat the natural food daily in order to live and because we are alive we eat. Let us strive to eat (read/study) GOD'S WORD daily and because HIS WORD is LIFE, we should so love HIS WORD to the point that now we live to eat (HIS WORD).
GOD bless you.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
"GOD IS GOOD"!
There is no doubt about it, God is good and His mercies endureth forever! If He woke you up this morning and you have the activity of your limbs, that’s enough right there to praise Him. “O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good; for his mercy endureth forever” (1 Chronicles 16:34). "The LORD is good to all; and his tender mercies are over all His works” (Psalm 145:9; Psalm 100:5). God is good All the time!!
God Bless!

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
THE SUFFER - RING.
(SUFFERING)
(Much credit for this TFTD goes to the late Bishop S. A. Dunn and my mother, the late Missionary Julie Brown-Dunstan, who often enlightens me with her skillful expressions). Don’t let your wedding ring become a SUFFER-RING in your marriage. In many marriages, unfortunately the wedding ring is a symbol of much sufferings. A partial definition of the word suffering is the state of undergoing distress, hardship, pain, and agony with much regrets. At the engagement and wedding the ring was a symbol of joy, but for some after a few months or years it becomes a nightmare of suffering. Some even take off the ring and some find out that divorce often is not the end of the SUFFER-RING because of children’s needs and bills to be paid. In some marriages peace is turned into pieces. Love flew away long time like a dove. The marriage which was once like a cruise ship now becomes a battleship on the war seas of hate and malice. The marriage which was once full of worship now becomes a warship. May I encourage all that before going into marriage, seek GOD'S guidance and think about the SUFFER - RING. TGBTG on March 17, 2023, Annie and I celebrated 50 years of marriage. GOD bless you.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
DEATH IS A PART OF LIFE!
Death is a subject that most of us don't like to talk about, but death is a part of life. We will all die one day unless the rapture takes place before we die. The death of a family member or friend is one of the hardest things to bear. The grief in our hearts is so heavy, and it just sits in our hearts until God (Jesus) lifts it and comforts us. Then, we have to accept the reality that our loved ones are really gone.
1 Corinthians 15:54
So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
GOD'S EMERGENCY CONTACT NUMBER.
Have you ever heard this recording "if you are having an emergency please hang up and dial 911 or go to the nearest hospital". GOD'S EMERGENCY CONTACT NUMBER IS J E S U S (53787). First of all, every sinner (unsaved person) is in a state of emergency and needs immediate attention. Call JESUS NOW. Also, every time a believer sins, he/she needs immediate forgiveness medication (attention). When we are in trouble or become sick spiritually or physically, we are in a state of emergency and JESUS must be dialed/called immediately. HIS number is never busy, and HE is available 24X7. JESUS is so awesome that millions of people who may speak different languages and dialects can dial (call) HIM at the same time and HE gives everyone individualized attention. HE is the doctor, the hospital, the clinic, and the Emergency Room. You do not have to come to HIM because HE is already where you are right now. Just say JESUS. Yes, call HIM by HIS name which is JESUS. He will hear your faintest cry or hear the voice of your thought/mind/heart. GOD bless you.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
THE GOD CHURCH
Our love for GOD'S Church should not be controlled by what others do for the Church, but what you do. Do your BEST for your Church and for your Honorable Pastor so that he/she does not serve you in grief. If you see a need in the Church act positively upon it by helping with that need so it does not appear that you are doing it to be seen of men. Your Heavenly Father who sees your good heart doings will reward you openly. GOD bless you.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
“GOD WILL MAKE A WAY"
As children of God, we have no doubt that God always makes a way out of no way. Unbelievers on the other hand, don’t understand the benefit of having faith and trust in God undoubtedly. Not saying that all unbelievers don’t have faith, but as children of God we have that assurance that when we put our trust in God, whether the answer is Yes, No, or Wait, we understand that God has our best interest at heart. “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths” (Proverbs 3:5-6). You must believe and do not doubt (James 1:2-8).

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
ONE BODY, MANY MEMBERS
(THE CHURCH)
The CHURCH is CHRIST and HIS body. Every HOLY GHOST filled believer is a member of the body of CHRIST. There is only ONE HOLY GHOST (SPIRIT) because there is ONLY ONE GOD and everyone who is filled with THE ONE SPIRIT is baptized into the one body, HIS NAME JESUS CHRIST THE CHURCH. Like the human body, the CHURCH is not made up of one member but many (heart, lungs, kidneys, liver, hands, feet, etc., etc.). Anywhere the body goes the members of the body are present. The heart, eyes, ears, and other members work together in the best interest of the whole body (no self-interest). When one member hurts the whole body feels it. So is the CHURCH of the living GOD JESUS CHRIST. Every HOLY GHOST filled member of THE CHURCH is needed, is important, and serves the purpose of building up JESUS CHRIST CHURCH so that HE gets all the glory (1 Corinth. 12:12-25). The capital C CHURCH (wheat) is among the congregation and sad to say that some in the congregation are tares which have the wrong spirit, but those spirits can be discerned by one who has the gift of discerning of spirits (1 Corinth. 12:10). Every HOLY GHOST filled believer is one with JESUS CHRIST/GOD (John 17:21). Are you in a church or are you in THE CHURCH of JESUS CHRIST? GOD bless you.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
DIVINE ENCOUNTER!
When you meet someone while taking care of business or when someone crosses your path at some point, don't take it lightly. This meeting could be arranged by God (Jesus), for you to witness to this person or for you or the person to add something positive to each other's life.
Remember, Jesus meeting the woman at the well:
John 4:14
But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
Remember Boaz meeting Ruth:
Ruth 2:5
Then said Boaz unto his servant that was set over the reapers, Whose damsel is this?

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
PRAYER REQUEST
(JUST A REMINDER)
Remember when you make a request to GOD for anything you must believe. However, not everything you ask GOD for you will receive even though you believe. GOD knows what is best for you and the right time it is best for you. This is not a contradiction to the you will receive what you pray for, but understand also that you do not want to receive anything that is not according to HIS will (1 John 5:14), and HIS divine will is best for you than HIS permissive will. So always end your prayer request with not my will but thine be done. Always have the patience to wait on HIM for the answer no matter how long HE takes to respond. Do not doubt, just remember HE has the final say and HE always has your best interest at heart. GOD bless you.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
THE TREE
Have you been to the tree a second time? Sin began at the tree in the Garden of Eden, and it was driven by the act of disobedience (Gen. 2:16-17). Obedience is stronger than disobedience, but the tool of disobedience is more convenient for many. " ... to obey is better than sacrifice (1 Sam.15:22). Adam and Eve were put out of holy Eden (a type of heaven and the church) so that they could not eat of the tree of eternal life with an unrepented heart (Gen. 3:24). The ONLY way for man to have eternal life again is to eat of the second tree via obedience to GOD'S word and repent of your sins. The second tree is the CROSS OF CALVARY, and it is accessible only by obedience. JESUS is the fruit of life (Psa. 34:8 and John 6:32-35). Sin began at the tree and sin can only end at the tree on Calvary. The first time we all died at the tree in Eden. The second time we can all now find life at CALVARY'S TREE. HAVE YOU BEEN TO THE TREE A SECOND TIME? GOD bless you.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
"JESUS WILL WORK IT OUT"
“No matter what storm clouds may rock this ship of mine, the light of my Savior will lead me safely through the night”. Jesus will work it out!! He said, He will never leave you nor forsake you (Hebrews 13:5). No matter what we may face, just know that Jesus already has the solution. As the song writer says, "Jesus will work it out". God said He would be with thee, through the storm, through sickness and pain, God said He would be with thee. (Isaiah 43:16-19); (Philippians 2:13). Even when we don’t see it, Jesus is always working it out in the background. Be encouraged, because greater is He that is within us, than he that is in the world.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
THE SECOND BREATH
(WHEN GOD BREATHE A SECOND TIME)
In the beginning man received his image and his likeness from GOD the father and HIS SON JESUS CHRIST (Gen 1:26). The image is JESUS whom GOD the father spoke to when HE said, "LET US". THE GOD the SPIRIT FATHER spoke to the human part of himself JESUS. JESUS is the image that man was made from in Genesis 2:7. (Not from angels who are creatures). JESUS is GOD. Man came looking like JESUS and not JESUS came looking like man. Images are made from an existing person. Joseph sperm had nothing to do with JESUS being revealed to the world (Gal. 4:4).
JESUS is the image of the invisible GOD the SPIRIT FATHER (Col.1:15-19; 1 Tim. 3:16; Eph. 3:9; John 1:1-3; Heb. 1:1-3. Even the king of Babylon saw JESUS with the 3 Hebrew boys in the fiery furnace (Dan. 3:24-25). JESUS also is the LAMB slain from the foundation of the world (Rev. 13:8). In fact, GOD the father used JESUS to make everything (Eph. 3:9; John 1:3; Heb. 1:2; Col. 1:15-19. When Adam sinned, he lost the spiritual GOD likeness part. He lost the Holy Spirit nature of GOD. Adam was no more HOLY like GOD, so man only maintained the external image. Man needed to be refilled with the SPIRIT OF GOD HIS HOLY GHOST likeness, hence the need for the second breath (John 20:22). Thank GOD man began to breathe again on the Day of Pentecost when the John 20:22 breath of GOD came in the Upper Room as a mighty rushing wind. COME ON CHURCH WE NEED TO BREATHE THE HOLY GHOST SECOND BREATH. THANK GOD FOR THE SECOND BREATH. GOD BLESS YOU.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
THE GRACE OF GOD!
The grace (a special favor: PRIVILEGE) of God (Jesus) is Powerful. God's Grace will help you endure difficult situations. When you should be troubled, you are at peace, when you should be crying, you are content, when you are drained, you have energy, and when you are weak, you have strength.
2 Corinthians 12:9
And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
THE BEGINNINGS
Every wholesome born mature man knowing right from wrong has two beginnings. The first beginning starts at birth and ends at physical death. The writer of this Psalms stated, "The days of our years are threescore years and ten (70); and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years (80) ..." (Psalms 90:10). Unfortunately, many do not make it to 70 years, and many are blessed to have lived over 80 years. Man therefore is born in time and his earthly existence ends in time. Revelation 10:6 lets us know that time has an end and when time ends eternity (the second beginning) takes over. Man therefore must get saved in time (the first beginning and die (sleep) in JESUS CHRIST in order to go to heaven (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18). There are only two places one can sleep (die), either in JESUS or outside of JESUS. One must therefore repent and be baptized in the name of the LORD JESUS CHRIST and be filled with the HOLY GHOST in time in order to be saved in time (Acts 8:16, Acts 10:48, Acts 19:5, Romans 8:9). Time has an end (Rev. 10:6). So, for man death is not the end. Death is the beginning of the second beginning which is the beginning for man going into eternity. Every man has a DNA type of soul which can exist and identify you in time and also in eternity. Fire cannot destroy the soul. This earthly body can only exist in time, then man will with the same soul obtain an eternal new body that can feel the joys of Heaven and also feel the everlasting torment in hell's flame. Choose JESUS CHRIST NOW in this first beginning (time) because there is no repentance in the grave or in the second beginning (eternity). GOD bless you.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
THE DAY
(THE DAY IS EVERY DAY)
It is very important for us as Gentiles in the Dispensation of Grace to learn to esteem each day as unto the Lord. We must not be a Sunday or a Saturday days worshippers only, but we must be a seven days a week worshippers of our LORD GOD JESUS the CHRIST (anointed one). However, if one esteemeth a day to dedicate that day to the LORD, that person should not be judged. Neither should that person think he is more spiritual than others (Rom. 14:4-6). Everyone of us must wear our spiritual life worship and praise holy living life garments (Gal. 5:22-26) every day and not just be holy on one chosen day like the Pharisees. Too many people act as if they are more righteous than others on those two days. Some wear their Gal. 5:19-21 life garments Monday - Friday and become holy on Saturday or Sunday. Let us all strive to be a 7 days a week (24X7) worshippers of our GOD because death or the rapture can come any day of the week. GOD bless you.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
“Right Standing”
It is imperative that we are in right standing with God, because we never know when our number/name will be called for eternity. It’s not okay just to go to Church Sunday after Sunday, but having a right relationship with God is more important. Yes, the scripture did say we should not forsake the assembling of ourselves together. (Hebrews 10:25). However, our way of life and living must be in line with God. We are also admonished to stir up, and encourage each other in love when we assemble. Being in right standing with God assures us of life everlasting. (Romans 3:20-24); (II Corinthians 5:19); (Titus 3:5); (Romans 10:10) states, “For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation”.
God Bless you, be encouraged!!

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
HABITUAL LATENESS (PART 1)
Habitual lateness is an irresponsible bad habit/practice. If we are always early it means that we are always never late. Habitual lateness to GOD'S business, and to HIS church is an irresponsible practice and is disrespectful to GOD. Habitual lateness has caused many to missed out of many blessings that was theirs and like the five foolish virgins habitual lateness can keep you out of Heaven. Don't let too late be the voice you hear on the last day. The best way to be on time is to be there before the time. GOD bless you.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
SUFFERING!
While living in this life, we are going to have to suffer (to submit to or be forced to endure sometimes). We have to suffer the loss of loved ones, we suffer with health issues, and we suffer with trials and tests, but don't be discouraged, it's a part of life. Jesus suffered and so did our forefathers. Also, know that whatever we are suffering with, God (Jesus) will bring us through.
Romans 8:18
For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
HABITUAL LATENESS (PART 2)
"There is one room that is never filled and that is the room for improvement". Let us all strive to improve (do better) where punctuality is concerned in general business but especially where GOD'S business and HIS church are concerned. Let us all examine ourselves and strive to reduce excuses for lateness. Habitual lateness means those that have established a habitual pattern of tardiness (tardimess) with frequent repetition. Chronic lateness is not good, and it can be corrected. Ask GOD to help you to do better where time management is concerned especially towards HIS business and HIS CHURCH. Plan ahead. Get things and clothes ready the night before and never feel at ease or comfortable in being habitually late. REMEMBER THE BEST WAY TO BE ON TIME IS TO BE THERE BEFORE THE TIME. Preparation before the plane or bus departure time is very important so you can be in your seat at departure time and not be arriving at the airport at the departure time. Many of us respect being on time for travel, the job, and other personal matters and that is good. However, may I encourage all of us to fear GOD and respect HIM by being on time for HIS business and HIS Church. GOD bless you.
