THE HEART, WHEAT & WEED
No one can predict what cruelty may rise in another’s heart, this is why there’s such a great need to have Jesus at heart. The heart of all of mankind is in the palm of God’s hand. Only He knows beyond our knowledge for He Is Omniscient. With Jesus being the Way, Truth, and Life of one’s heart, no one would falter! This is why God’s word says MY CHILD, GIVE ME YOUR HEART! If Jesus, The Word, dwells within our hearts, then it is accessible to God at every disposal.
God already knew, of all the organs in a person’s body, the one that controls a person most and can easily cause them to stray is the heart. And so in order to keep the whole body in check, that organ must have a Safekeeper; that in itself is Jesus our Mediator, Messiah, King and coming Judge!
When we accept Jesus as our personal Savior, we benefit all of this and more for life and even after Jesus comes for us. As long as we live in obedience, repentance and fear of God, we will eat the best fruit of the land, that’s in His promise. God will even take away what belongs to the enemy to give to us because we live a life pleasing to Him. But all these basics take root deep within our hearts.
Plant good wheat so that weed will not destroy the field of your heart. For soon the Master will burn all the weed that was ransacking the wheat field. When Jesus comes, if He finds you in a state of weed then you’ll be burnt with all the ransackers; but if He found you remained wheat despite weeds surrounding you then you’ll be harvested into his attic! While you’re remaining wheat however, beware to not spread discord and refrain from derooting the weed. The weed is there to use as fuel to remind you to stay focused on Jesus so as not to become lesser than what and whom God calls you to be. Even if it’s weed, it has its purpose. Just be sure to remember your Godly purpose even in the weeds presence because though you’re in the same field, your destinations are not the same! Keep focus on nourishing your heart Godly so as to remain Wheat! #WORD!!!

KÈ, BLÉ, AK LIVRÈ
Pagin moun ki konnin davans méchansté ki nan kè yon lòt moun, c sak fè li nésésè pou n gin Jézu nan kè nou konsa. Kè tout moun ki égzisté nan pla min Bondyé. C li minm sèl ki konnin dépasé konésans nou paské li omnisyan. Ak Jézu ki c chemin, vérité é lavi a nan kè nou, pagin moun kap éshwé! C sak fè pawòl Bondyé di PITIT MWEN, BANM KÈ W! Si Jézu, Pawòl La, rété nan kè nou, eh byin kè nou ap disponib pou Bondyé ninpòt lèl vlé.
Bondyé t gintan konnin ke nan tout òga-n ki nan kò moun, sa ki ka kontwolé moun plis pou lakoz yo dérayé c kè a. Égal pou kinbé tout kò a nan lòd, òga-n saa bezwen yon Pwotéktè; moun saa minm c Jézu Médiyatè nou, Méssi nou, Wa nou, Jij kap vini an!
Lè n aksépté Jézu kòm Sovè pèsonèl nou, nou jwi bénéfis sa yo ak anpil lòt pou lavi é minm lè Jézu vini pou nou. Toutotan nap viv nan obéyisans, repantans, é krint pou Bondyé nap manjé pi bon fwi ki gin nan péyi a, saa nan pwomès li. Bondyé ap minm rétiré sak nan min énmi nou pou l bannou l paské nou viv yon vi ki fèl plézi! Min tout baz sa yo pran rasi-n fon nan kè nou. Planté bon blé pou rajé/livrè pa anvahi jadin kè nou. Paské pita, Mèt la pral boulé tout paye/livrè ki tap ravajé jadin blé a. Lè Jézu vini, sil jwenn ou nan éta livrè wap boulé ak tout paye yo, min sil jwenn ou rété blé jiskalafin malgré paye antouré w, ébyin, nan rékolt la plas ou ap résèvé nan galata li.
Pandan w rété blé ou minm, fè atansyon pou w pa simin dézakò épi pinga w raché livrè yo. Livrè yo la pou sèvi w fumyé, pou fè w sonjé pou w fixé jé w sou Jézu, pou w pa vi-n pi ba ke sa é moun Bondyé vlé w yé a. Minm lè li c paye, li gin fonksyon pa l. Toujou sonjé objéktif pa w minm nan prézans livrè yo, paské minm lè nou nan minm jadin, déstinasyon nou pa minm. Rété ak mantal ou fixé sou nouritu spirityèl Bondyé pou kè w rété blé!

STYLE MAINTENANCE
Don’t let any enemy cramp your style. Maintain composure at all cost! There’s earthly fruits and blessings to accumulate, a hell to prevent, a soul to save and an eternal crown to gain! You have no time for foolishness! You’re heading toward an incorruptible body, but for now work on projecting interior decors outward! Maximize your gain in the Lord, it won’t be in vain!

A MEDITATIVE FOCUS
Excerpt from Response To The Calling “The sun was blazing hot glistening on the surface of the asphalt road ahead but once I reached that shining spot I found it to be just as normal as the path already traveled.”
That point in time when things are revealed for what they are at the appointed time but not before. Don’t jump to conclusions, don’t assume, be still and wait on God’s approval and revelation for guidance because God’s report solidifies everything. That time when everything comes to light because one’s focus is clearer! The feelings that one experiences when contemplating a heavy workload and procrastinating compared to the completed task, greeted with self gratification! Allow self to go through each process with open mind in order to receive a deeper understanding of every situation. Give self time to learn lessons being taught because life is overflowing with such to be accumulated so as to grow in stature and build solid chatacter. The saying goes everything that glitters is not gold. The experience through the lesson learned on the road reveals that though the sun glitters showing wavy sun ripples as if a puddle is ahead, at focus clear it’s revealed that even the sun will set mirage. The focus must remain on the Son throughout the journey. Though the sun is quite helpful to light one’s path, and in spelling is but one letter short of the Messiah’s identity; the prize lies in an accomplished race with the athlete’s unwavering devotion, dedication, attention, and relation to God in Jesus!

THE APPLE’S LESSON
I saw a brave apple the other day! It stood alone on a dried up tree branch, and I thought to myself how much courage it must’ve taken for the apple to remain intact. Steadfast and immovable it clung to that branch despite the weather. It didn’t give up when all odds were against it. I thought to myself, you Dear Child should learn a lesson from that root, this tree, that branch, this apple that has overcome so may obstacles until someone has acknowledged its efforts! That’s the Apple’s lesson! I encourage you! Keep running the race with your eyes on the prize!

JOURNEY FOCUSED
I can’t handle what you’ve gone through nor do I want to try. You can’t handle what I’ve been through nor do you care to believe how truly real it’s all been in my shoes. The hard fact still remains that as human beings we go through some serious crappy situations especially in years passed) and we are deeply in need of God THE HIGHEST OF ALL POWERS, to pull us through. This is reality in a nutshell but not everyone is ready to digest this truth. What level of understanding you’ve accumulated from your experiences earned cannot compare to mine, nor can mine withstand your past storm. Yet and still together we can speak to this present world of the hows, whats, whens, wheres, whos, and whys we’ve travelled (never in complete detail). Through each trial we’ve leveled in language be it subdued or loud. The vastness of your story regardless is hidden from you as is mine hidden from me partially but when we stand before God’s great throne in all glory to behold His righteousness, only then will we know in full what all that hassle was about. It will all make so much sense then. We will see the full picture, no hindrance to our comprehension or sight, physical nor spiritual then. How very grand that will be when we find out at long last the reason behind all our present hardships, world pandemics, nation wars, public humiliations, chaotic and evil outbreaks. Though some of us know now partially that the signs of the end of times are around us, our little brain no matter how clever we are cannot withstand the full blow of the complete plenitude of the understanding behind all that’s been.
Until that time comes, let us take lessons from the non-swimmer and learn to tread water to keep from drowning. Let us learn from the ants and gather provision during harvesting and store it for time of lack and need. Let’s also learn from the eagle that soars higher than the storm. We will make it to the other side of glory if we persist and falter not. We have built-in spiritual armors to make it to God’s eternity, we can, we will. What awaits us is beyond human comprehension. We will fully know just how precious we have always been to God to have caused our journey so dangerous, outrageous and downright ridiculous and unfair often times. We’ll know finally why evil hated us so much with that undying passion. Reading God’s word and following His lead, we Are making it to Him with full focus on Jesus the perfecter of our faith!

A MIRRORED TRUTH
We have to go thru the Rejects before making it to the Acceptance. But remember for each time you have been rejected so also had they rejected Jesus the Son of the Living God. Think of how God must have felt watching us or ours rejecting His Son. God is showing you, YOU. THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE… JESUS LOVES U MORE THAN THE REJECTIONS YOU’VE ENDURED. HOLD TO HIM.

HE SPEAKS
Speak to me
I’m human
Sometimes I feel your pain when you let me in
But too often you remain distant from me
As if I’m alien
You know I care but you keep listening
To another voice
Listen to me when I’m caring so
Don’t shut me out
Can’t you ever tell when I await your approach?
I want you to be free
Free to come to me when in need
Free to speak your mind
Free to choose the time to come
Free to say as you please
Take advantage of my presence
Don’t be so quick to shut me out?
I know what you feel before you felt it
But I still need you to speak the truth of
Your feelings to me as if I did not know
Any of it
Can’t you feel my love for you?
I don’t tire of your presence
I hurt when you discard mine
I give my ALL to you still…
Speak to me
Love,
ME!

GENERATION CROWN CASTING
We are a new generation reaching new heights in God, breaking the cycle that our parents could not. We must strive to perfect our walk with God through Jesus’ salvation, because failing or quitting is not an option or a luxury to contemplate. Our only focus is the end journey’s result; casting our crown of glory at your feet oh Lord God is what we yearn!

BONDYÉ C APWI W/ GOD’S GOT YOU
Nap viv nan yon mond ki koronpu. Minm si w grangou, pinnga w saf. Minm si w nan bezwen pinnga w vòlè. Minm si sa w ginyin an piti, kontanté w ak sa Bondyé ba ou. Li gin pouvwa pou l béni é multiplyé l nan minw. Toujou pran tan w pou w konté grandè Bondyé. Pandan wap konté byinfè l yo lap plin bòl ou san w pa atann. Konté sou Bondyé sèlman pou tout sa w gin bezwen! Li pap kité w pou kont ou!
Translation:
We’re living in a corrupted world. Even if you’re hungry, don’t be greedy. Even if you’re in need, don’t steal. Even if what you have isn’t much, be content with what God has given you. He has the power to bless and multiply it in your hands. Always take your time to contemplate God’s greatness. While you’re counting His blessings He’ll fill your bowl without you expecting it. Focus on God alone for all your needs! He won’t leave you alone!
