GRACE AND MERCY Imagine standing before God and no words have been spoken but a file has been pulled and a movie is rolling before you. In this movie you’ve witnessed numerous occasions where you weren’t even aware that God was working in your favor. You noticed, many a times you were being cocky, rebellious, ignorant, rude but still your favor was His interest. There were occasions where you even mess up again after He had it all fixed up but your soul’s protection was prioritized. You didn’t have to pay, get reproached, you weren’t rebuked, nor were you scolded but favor had you enveloped like a baby in swaddling clothes. You were safe! 10-13-2022 MBM
When God says, I’ve given you the power to bless and the power to curse, but don’t curse anyone unless I God command it so. When you get such a favor, consider it a test of love (1 Peter 4:8). Like going to the market you check each fruit before putting it in your basket, God test your love volume to see your level of usefulness. Listen, if even demons can be used to carry out judgments on the disobedient, wouldn’t you rather be a better person for God today? Even without having the power to curse it’s done heavily, fluently, effortlessly and ragingly, there’s no challenge in that. Real challenge begins when you come face to face with those who’ve bullied you, lashed out at you, chastised you, rebuked you even when you were not in the wrong, demanding your apology though you deserve theirs, while repeatedly crushing your spirit and laughing while they’re in the power to do all this as you are powerless. Know this, sometimes, there is also power in surrendering your right to their wrong. Sometimes, God plans it this way for as you’re exercising the right to love for God regardless of the situation, He’s using that foolish thing to confound that wise one. You don’t have to like these situations but you must always love the person’s soul unto God regardless of how ugly they may be acting toward you, That is Christlike. There may almost, always be a possibility that they’re being held bound by an evil that has tapped on their weakness long enough to find room to use them against you and the only way to free yourself from that is to truly love them for God, despite the crappy things they sent your way. Often, it’s about how much of Jesus in you are you willing to share with others for soul saving purposes. Sometimes, it’s about laying down your weapon in face of danger even if you know you may not come out unscathed, but believing God enough to pull you through despite the ridiculous position you find yourself in. At times, God is saying, Son, I’ve called you to go beyond the known, surpass the unknown to gain this one soul for me, I just want you to be willing only, then I’ll do the rest. I will show up. I am Your God. I have not brought you this far to leave you. I allow you to be in the face of danger to see your reaction, to see your faith activated, to test your love level, to show you the You that I already know but that you still must be introduced to. You’re a diamond in the rough. I’m digging through the rough to bring you out. I’ve done the majority of the digging already, what you’re feeling is but the turbulence of the aftereffects. But this part you must go through on your own in order to appreciate reaching your destination to gain your prize. Else all would’ve been too easy, lacking charm, and you wouldn’t honor it as much if you’ve not toiled for it. When God gives you the power to bless or curse, be very sure that He will send your way many whom you’ll feel deserve to be cursed. It’s up to you to uphold God’s expectancy of you and choose wisely to bless even a suppose cursed. Not all situations are like this, but to ignore this is to set yourself up for failure. O ransomed soul, God has shown you His grace on so many occasions so that you also would learn to pass on the lesson to those you deemed undeserving, it’s a test of your love for God in respect to life. Have you expanded your loving grace today? God is checking to see if you’ll do as the unforgiving servant who refused to pardon others even after his great debt was totally forgiven (Matthew 18:24-33). It’s easy to act irrationally even under the influence of love after receiving grace and forgiveness. But God is always there to remind His own. I have been gracious toward you even after you’ve scarred me, trampled over my love, ripped my heart to shreds, violated my trust, undermined my authority, mocked me, used deception and caused others to stray from me as a result of your foul actions. Though I’ve forgiven you despite your multitude of sins, you couldn’t find it within yourself to forgive another even on one account? What have you learned from the grace that I’ve shown you, O daughter in the Faith? You, Sons and Daughters must learn to love and forgive as God commands it, for this also is to be Christlike! Follow the golden example of His pure love and do likewise, Jesus taught you well! For in doing so, you would have upheld His teachings and made for Him disciples in the Faith. You would have helped to solidify another’s foundation in their Faith walk. Don’t you know Dear One, in steering one into righteous path, you also gain forgiveness over a multitude of sins? (James 5:20). “Bless them that curse you, bless them and curse them not.” (Romans 12:14, Matthew 5:44) My prayer for you is that you come to know God’s love on such a level that you love freely for God’s glory before journey’s end. Jesus soon come, let’s ready our hearts! 08-05-2023 MBM
BLESSING OF GRACE Though His Word says we receive grace upon grace (John1:16), still I pray you don’t exhaust that grace to the point of ending your journey with spiritual drought or famine in the soul! May God revive in you all good fruits that had died. May He restore your former self to a greater version of what had been. May God shock even you in the restoration, transformation, of the received instruction of His correction. Where fields of weed had scattered may God tilt that soil of your being and sow seeds of spiritual growth for His purpose to overtake your life. May all the i’s be dotted, the t’s crossed in the story of your life. May all commas, semicolons, colons, hyphens, and periods serve as but a continuation of God’s blessing story in your bloodline. May you be bombarded with God’s utter blessedness when you look back, left, right, front and forward. May your eyes always be focusing on Jesus as your heart cling to the meditation of His Word. May you be awaken to God’s promises over your life, decree, declare, accept, receive and put to use All that God give to Glorify Him ALONE. May every setback that comes your way become a stepping stool lifting you higher, closer to greater promotion of blessings and may God always keep you in perfect peace as you toil to reach greater dimensions in Him. May God meet you at your point of need even in things you forgot to pray on. May your desire to please God always be greater than your yearning to dwell in sin. May God’s cloud pillar be over your household, family and generations present and to come in the day and the fire pillar your guide by night. May God show you Him in your obedience to draw nearer to Him and in wanting to cling to Him more. If I, (a mere human) yearn to bestow these blessings upon you, imagine how much more grandeur God’s desire to bless you must be! Use your remaining grace wisely! In the end, I’d like us all to hear “WELL DONE OH FAITHFUL SERVANT.” 07-23-2023 MBM
Life is a lesson no one can learn overnight no matter how bright or clever they are. Aside from the presence and assistance of God, It takes time, patience, determination, strength, support, resistance and then some to BEGIN to achieve at any good thing in life and at life! 10-2016

LIVING LEGACY Live such a legacy that when you leave this world even the non-believers in the Faith feels the shift, emptiness, void in the world and yearn to seek and connect with God on a deeper level. Your life would’ve held purpose in depth. Live as you want to be remembered and spoken of but make it all GODLY. #WisdomSpeaks 10-10-2022 MBM

Often life can feel like it’s been freezer burnt, lost its essence and even if thawed out the remains may deem useless but the matter of fact is only God decides one’s result of outcome in life, of life, out of life. 11-12-2022 MBM
Life and all its bitterness can be tamed through sincere prayer and guidance to and from Almighry God even as one follows Jesus example living in the Faith He taught us. It calls for a lot of self discipline, humility, grace and love. 11-12-2022 MBM

VICTORY IS NOT JUST IN YOUR FUTURE BUT IT’S HERE IN YOUR PRESENT, DON’T JUST RECEIVE IT BUT LIVE IT AS IT EXPANDS ITS ETERNAL RIPPLES 11-22-2022 MBM
It’s an absolute truth that even if you traveled to all corners of the earth from birth to death, the fact still remains that there will always be places left undiscovered. God’s love is like that. He gifted us a world of goods of which we will never finish unveiling. The universe as huge as it is can’t hold God but yet the human heart is just the right size for His Son Jesus to dwell so as to bring us to the Father. Even if we lived an eternity of lifetimes we still wouldn’t have lived long enough to uncover all of the mysteries that God is! How grand is that! Ponder that! 11-23-2022 MBM
When paying consequences it often feels like receiving cheap goods after having spent precious money but not getting your money’s worth. That’s why in life it’s best to not settle for less. You are worth the best that life has to offer, God proved it so by giving all of His best from His Son to All of creation at our disposal, even the fruits are covered! Well presented! 11-24-2022 MBM
In life, it’s important to be around people who balance out your weakness for strength. It’s important to have a personal support system. Add color to life, don’t lose the essence to living even in your vulnerability. Surround yourself with beauty for ashes. 11-27-2022 MBM
There are times in life a person approaches you under the pretense of aiding you to build yet presents a sand wall but there are others that come with Godly anointing to plant a brick solid wall that strengthens foundation. Sand or Brick, choose wisely! 11-29-2022 MBM
In Jesus resurrection birthed the completed salvation that brings the dead to life even unto eternity. 12-09-2022 MBM
Life can be a many splendid thing but it all depends on the living, your output. What are you made of? You’re created in God’s image, reach in, find Him then project Him to the world! What you’re projecting outward to an already hurting world often will determine your result. Make God proud! 12-09-2022 MBM
I’ve heard it said that when life throws you lemons to make lemonade. But I’m haitian and am not satisfied. So after rolling them under my feet to soften them and made the lemonade I went and cleaned, marinated and seasoned some chicken, made some porridge then grated the skin in there, I used the lemon juice to wash my face which gave my skin a new glow, still I wasn’t satisfied so I made a healthy mixture blend to drink daily. So life, do keep sending the lemons! There’s more healthy use for them! 12-09-2022 MBM
Because Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life(John 14:6), our Living In Him is not in vain! For as we live it’s not us living but Christ Living in us (Gal. 2:20). 12-10-2022 MBM
John 3:16 FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHALL NOT PERISH BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE. All your life God has been extending His loving hands toward you in love, wouldn’t you like to finally walk into His embrace and accept the love professed for so long? It’s you He wants! He did it all for the saving of Your soul so that you’d spend life eternal with Him in glory! Come to Christ today!
Say: Father God, You said in your Word that whomever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. I call upon You now in Jesus name, I surrender my mind, body, soul and spirit to you. I recognize that I’m a sinner in need of saving and can’t do this on my own. It’s Only through your Son Jesus that I can receive salvation for my soul and forgiveness for the multitudes of sin that has corrupted me. I humbly ask forgiveness and pray that you will accept me into Your Holy family so I can resemble you once more. What little bit of life I have left please permit me to live it to glorify you in all ways allowed, not just for today but until Jesus returns. I renounce all evil and accept Jesus into my heart. Please guide me to serve you well in Jesus name. AMEN

When you’re hurt and seek to hurt others, lashing out; you’re displaying a juvenile/infantile lack of rearing. When you begin to understand your error without any professional guidance or discipline you might take all this pain inward turning against self in rebellion or remorse for how poorly all was handled, (this may occur in individuals with a live active conscience). But when you start having Godly wisdom and true maturity you develop a means of projecting outward the act of rendering to others the aide you lacked in your suffering. Your lifestyle boldly speaks in presenting itself as a haven for the broken to be mended! May your life scream out HAVEN TO HELP REPAIR THE BROKEN in all places where you were lacking! 10-18-2022 MBM
2 Cor. 5:17 …old things are passed away, behold all things are made new… 2 Cor. 12:10 …for when I am weak then I am strong… John 1:16 …we have all received grace upon grace… Matt. 6:12 …forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors…
You don’t know that you’re alive until you wake up from sleep! You overlook how well your heart keep beat until it starts skipping them! You breathe effortlessly until your lungs gives you reason to worry! Do you catch your mind wandering away from focus or do you realize way later that you had wandered off? Time is of the essence if you have things to look forward to, if not it just drifts and you rarely keep it. Yesterday, today and tomorrow are days that we often speak of but what remains engraved in our memories are either of today or yesterday. We can’t keep any tomorrow memories until it gets here hence we’re always looking forward to it but never catching up because it keeps becoming a yesterday or a today! If you were to write your whole life story backwards you’d have to know the ending first to backtrack to birth. We rejoice at birth and cry at death whereas some cry at birth and rejoice at death, would you call that a life cycle well balanced? Ponder it! Have you ever conversed with self concerning your unruly behavior and disagreed with your logic, explanation or excuses? If heaven was on earth and earth was in heaven would humankind have to flip upside down to seek repose or would we enjoy our heavenly earth so much that we wouldn’t strive for any better? What if you wake up one day to find that every single gospel truth you denied was the Only Real Truth and now it’s too late and you’re caught in a trap of your own making for eternity? What if your kids decided to disobey your truths and lived your lies? What if you were forced to face your mistakes for life and death was a recurrence of the same because the only truth that saves is Jesus and you rejected Him hence rejecting His Father also! What if holding on to God meant nothing to Him because you denied His Son your heart for soul-saving? What if your logic isn’t golden in God’s book but His Word is bond to save your mind, body, soul, heart spirit, mind, life and eternity? What if God is calling you to step out of the by-word that has labeled your race to stand for Him on a ground that’s not comfort zone? If you were told that if you trust, believe and raised your hand to God in your scary darkness, He’s faithful and just to deliver you. Would you rather remain in your scary darkness trembling in fear? …That point in time when your life has so much going on so to balance faith walk and sanity means to let go of foolishness. So anyone who entertain foolishness gets left behind because the weight of the soul is a pressing matter which shouldn’t be bargained with. Loving people doesn’t mean to reject self, learn that early on in life! Letting go of the crowd that distracts your focus on God doesn’t make you a bad person, just a person of character with set priorities! Whomever disagrees can welcome your absence! Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever! That’s comfort that never changes! But even in this know that the door to grace will someday close. The elects in Christ will be gone and there will be no more time to ‘get it right’ before you come to Jesus the Savior! Don’t wait until He comes as King and Judge to decide dearest, it will be too late! THE KING-JESUS IS COMING!
Oceanic grace has an open door policy that’s effective as long as its door remains open. It’s an ocean of grace, but grace so deep and wide it surpasses the ocean. Thus is Jesus’ ever-flowing grace.
