 SAID I WASN’T GONNA TO TELL NOBODY…..!

*Oh, give thanks unto the Lord!  Call upon His name; Make known His deeds among the peoples!  Sing to Him, sing psalms to Him; Talk of His wondrous works!  Psalms 105:1


 *And their eyes were opened. And Jesus sternly warned them, saying, “See that no one knows it.”  But when they had departed, they spread the news about Him in all that country.  Matthew 9:30, 31


It’s hard to keep good news to ourselves, yet in this scripture, Jesus admonished the two blind men whose sight He restored to not tell anybody, but they just couldn’t keep it to themselves.  They had so much gratitude that they told everybody!


Our first scripture reminds us to share with others what the Lord has done for us.  When we are obedient in doing that,  it's like being a PR person for the Lord.  Since He is no respecter of persons (Romans 2:11), it lets others know that “if He did it for me, He can do it for them.”  When we share our testimonies which glorify Him, we are also encouraging others to trust Him.  The added promise and blessing for us is that we “overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the words of our testimonies.” (Revelation 12: 11a,b)


There is an “old school” song, Said I Wasn’t Gonna Tell Nobody,  that has been sung  by many groups over the years that embodies today's message. I have attached a YouTube link to the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir’s rendition of this song. (If the link doesn't work, please go to YouTube for your self and cut & paste the link in the search bar. You will be blessed!)


Be encouraged to always be ready to share the goodness of our God with others!


Blessings!

Elohim, The God of Creation

Image
  In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.                                                                                                   Genesis 1:1 , NKJV God has many "names"or "titles"that reflect His character and benefits. Today, I am focusing on Elohim, the God of Creation.  I was blessed to celebrate another birthday a couple of days ago, and my gift was to travel to another state with loved ones where the eclipse could be seen in its totality.  I saw the one locally in 2017, but that partial one paled by comparison to this one.    Photo by Mohamed Nohassi on Unsplash To say that it was awesome is such an understatement.  Visitors traveled from as far west as California, and there were some who were French speaking from who knows where.  I am seldom at a loss for words, however, this was an exception.  Seeing God's creation on full display as it went though the various phases was awe inspiring and caused me to tear up.  The change i

PASSION WEEK/HOLY WEEK

Image
No one can take my life from me.  I sacrifice it voluntarily.  For I have the authority to lay it down when I want to and also to take it up again.  For this is what my Father has commanded.  John 10:17-18 (NLT)    This season is one of the most consequential & unforgettable periods of time in Christiandom.  A painful time which ends triumphantly! Passion Week or Holy Week began on Palm Sunday and continues to Resurrection Sunday/Easter.   Jesus, motivated by His love for us and desire to redeem us, suffered unbelievable torture and humiliation to pay our sin debt.   He who was without sin. * It is called Passion Week because Jesus was motivated by His passionate love for us and desire to provide a path back to a restored relationship with the Father through Him.  The Father loves me because I sacrifice my life so I may take it back again. (John 10:17) .  He accomplished it through His suffering, death, and resurrection.  Those of us who are followers of Christ should always fe
