WORLD LOVE TEST If the love we show each other was to be the equator that holds the earth, what would the coordinates be and what would we find at the earth’s core? Would we awake to find ourselves at the abyss of earth’s core because we failed the only test of love allowed to men? Love as if you want to contaminate or corrupt the world with an infectious disease! Well, actually the world is terminally ill now but its only remedy is pure Godly, human induced love one for another! So I say we go on a weird rampage to love each other Godly until people get scared to see it’s a hundred percent the real deal. Who is bold enough? Written 03-12-2021 MBM-Tine Brice
I heard God’s voice talking and placed this in my spirit saying, “as an athlete works hard, exercises, pushes himself in training to win the medal or trophy, so also must God’s people travail because you are God’s trophy (before the enemy)! When was the last time you travailed/struggled for God?” Automatically, that reminded me of Job and I thought, GOD’S BID IS ON YOU! It took me back to when all the angels came before God and satan dared to appear also and upon conversing God said to satan, “did you happen to see my servant Job” (while roaming the earth)? Because God knew of Job’s integrity and he shone so bright way up to God above, He couldn’t help but be proud! God who has the right to command everything to bow to His will, respect men so much that He will not overstep His own grounds. Rather, He patiently awaits that men chooses to come to Him willingly and when they do He tests that choice as gold being shaped through fire to prove to that person himself the genuinity of his own strength and will at that choice! Are you going through the fire? That fire has two phases, it can either burn/consume you even from within or physically if the choice was not genuine or deeply rooted. Or it can mold you into whom you ought to become for God’s glory providing you remain faithful in your fire and take shape as it’s being beaten into you! Either way the choice is yours! May God guide you to choose wisely! In your fire, God is there! He’s watching your every move to see if the end result will glorify His great name! Remember, God Has Already Bid On Your Win, Your Success, Your Achievement, Your Sanctification! Don’t let YOUR Master Jesus be put to shame after having bought you with Royal blood at such a great price! Surely you can suffer a little while for an eternity with Him, right? If suffering is what He has called you to do and your faith walk is unlike others’ walk, do you really want to let Him down when you’re the one who will suffer the consequences for all of eternity? It’s true that you’ve gone through a lot of hardships but has they kicked you out of the village and stoned you to death? Has they cut your head as a martyr? Has they crucified you upside down for a whole village to witness your shameful death because of the Gospel? Have they fed you to a lion’s den or a furnace of fire? Have they dumped you in a well or sold you for thirty pieces of silver because of Jesus’ truth? Take heart, oh Dear One! He who called you by a prophetic name has NOT brought you this far to leave you now! He’s not a man that He should lie nor the son of man that He should repent! He will make good on His promises to you providing that you sway not in your Faith on Him and comply to His every WORD, WILL, and WAY! Remember your ways are not God’s ways and sin puts a constant barrier between God and you so to break this barrier remain in constant repentance before Him seeking His face always! God did not bid on you because He planned your failure, rather it is to fuel you into succeeding at all good deeds on your path to Him! You, my Dear, are quite precious in His sight! You are the apple of God’s eye whom He yearns to clothe in His righteousness, so go through the fire and come out triumphant on the other side of that trial having done Almighty God proud because of Jesus salvation sacrifice and the power of His blood that is forever powerful! You got this! You were created for such a time as this! God has not given you a burden beyond your capacity, so if it seems to be weighing too much seek His battle armor in prayer and go through that fire for the glory of God and come out Triumphant every time for an Eternal Crown awaits you, oh Victor by Faith!
Some things are worth more than rare treasures that can’t be bought. One of them that has made the top of the list for many is health. And so today I’m thankful for yours and mine. I always say that sickness is no respecter of persons and needs no invitation to turn one’s world upside down. Many take health for granted while others give little thought to it but in reality, many things like health is given more consideration after it’s been tested. There are a multitude of things to be thankful for but today I want to remind you that the breath you breathe in comfort without machine’s help, the heartbeat nonstop, the movements you make with functional limbs, the nourished mind that gives each body part directions what to do and it follows incessantly, those are but a few of your many blessings. So cherish what you have today and everyday. Count your blessings and worry less of the tiny percentage you lack because in due time, God will provide. Everyday is a day of Thanksgiving, so keep thanking God for every thing big or small, it all matters!
When God is building your character you might not like where you are and or what is happening in your life but know this, the end result while you remain faithful to Him is greater than the best human-made masterpiece. Even you will be shocked! It’s no earthly monument, it’s Heaven ordained Corner Stones Living amidst us!
I awoke at two in the morning and decided to do-get this, homework! Yes, you read correctly! I took a personality test which beforehand I thought was a waste of time and I even joked about it saying, I could easily tell my teacher that I’m stubborn and save myself and him some time. Nonetheless, I took the test which to me seem to have taken forever. Although I like to spend time with myself because I’m comfortable within my skin like that, I wasn’t enjoying the questions and the length of time spent answering them and that’s the truth. I felt like I was at a doctor’s office, a therapist, psychologist or shrink and my mind, brain, cranium was being probed. I was so tempted to scream off of the top of my lungs, “leave me alone!” I couldn’t though because I had to do the responsible thing and finish the homework. (The weight of responsibility at times can make a person feel like a rebellious teenager and that’s another truth)! I mustered up the strength to do and finish the personality test and to my surprise it was quite accurate, portraying my personality trait as the Defender is on spot. Although eighty six percent introvert doesn’t seem to do me justice because I think the percentage is more, I still think it’s awesome that I as an introvert was recognized. It tickles me to read that they consider my role to be a sentinel. Everywhere I am or where life’s wind happen to send me I stand at my post! I watch, learn, pray then convey to God all that is pleasing or not. I’m a watcher- your every move, mood, emotion is being registered. I’m your stalker, you don’t know it and I’m not programmed to keep track of self as I do this but for your soul’s protection I track you then report as I pray it up because mine is to keep you fit for My Lord, God, Savior, Master and King! That test really tested me in that it held up for me a mirror of myself that I either lacked an understanding of, might’ve forgotten about, or failed to see myself clearly as. One thing is sure though is that this test tested my patience with myself. Though I’m often patient with others, I had to muster up my courage to give self some of that in order to achieve. Yeah, I feel good about myself right now! So, I pat myself on the back for now because this is a feeling that doesn’t last long enough! You know this, as a true sentinel! At my post, Teeen-hut!

God tests His people’s faith even in the gifts bestowed! Sometimes the test comes in the beginning of your journey, in the middle or at the end but one thing is certain, the test comes!
May God find you standing still in Him after having tested your faith in the gifts He’s bestowed into your hand and you’ve succeeded. May God entrust you with greater things still for His name to be glorified!
