Stress, heaviness, despair..., pressure. Could these factors in our lives be, at times a result of looking at matters through our eyes and not God’s? I sit contemplating getting dressed. So much to do and absolutely no time to do it in. Stressed. Everyone’s depending on me to get it done, as I’ve professed often that no one is gonna do it for you. Heaviness. I’m still not dressed and the televisions watching me now. I’d rather just sit here. Despair. No, I’ve got to get up. Even if my mind is not there, I’m going. I’ve made the commitment. Pressure... What does it all sum? Close your eyes. A good cup of coffee doesn’t hurt too but meditate on who Christ is to you. Consider and recant to yourself all of the Word of God you know. It’s times like this where application of what you’ve accumulated in your walk, takes center stage vs. stress, heaviness, pressure, all of it. This is not all there is. Now open those eyes. Even if you can’t feel it now, know that on the other side of what is b...

O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh_Mathew 12:34... With immediate information at our fingertips feeding our flesh 24/7, many have fallen away from what was taught to them as youth. The generation that kept Christ first is dying and their descendants are under the impression that those before them had it all wrong. They preach, slaves were force fed white religion and homosexuals re-wrote the bible. They feed on hypocrisy in the church as it validates their disposition on the whole matter of God. They believe that they are God and in so doing, corrupt their minds, bodies, and soul's. The trouble only multiplies as they post, print, and disseminate imagery polluting others that don't take the time to study and find God for themselves. Readers who know, tell them; don't knock Him until you've tried Him. O taste and see that the Ltd is God: blessed is the man that trusteth in Him_Psalms...

What a loving, merciful, forgiving, and faithful God we serve. A love that'd give up His only Son to save a world full of people who ignore The Gift. A mercy that endures the pain we inflict upon Him when we deliberately disregard the safeguards placed within our moral selves only to indulge in vices that corrupt our souls. Yet, He is faithful to forgive, and forgive, and forgives, and forgives again... should I go on? To truly and intimately know God is to become His servant. A servant of God realizes that ultimately, the choices we make are subject to His Will and that His Will is the path that will lead us most directly to our perfect life. All of us saints were once slaves to our flesh and destruction and having undergone a rebirth found in Christ, eclipse our past as God's plans are revealed, old things are past away, and become brand new. Wake up fresh without care or thought for only yourselves. Give yourselves to God's Will making yourselves servants to one another ...

Most life lessons that go unlearned, must be repeated. Unlike public schools of education, pupils do get left behind. Higher education requires considerable payment but pales in comparison to the costs incurred upon failing in life. We enter this world learning and exiting, if in our right minds, assessing all the knowledge we'd amassed. Asking the question, did we understand all that was gained and could it be imparted to others. Knowledge is gained but is it understood. Wisdom is the application of the knowledge we understand. The longer we live, the more we find how little we actually know. If you learn nothing else from this life, please know that God is always in control. If you understand that simple principle then you can accept what comes your way as you do His will. He has a plan for your life. His plan has no mistakes in it. He is always working on it, not to fix it but to see it to completion. Take your lessons seriously and remember that there is no failure in God, no ...

Just a few. A few men, a few fish, a few dollars. God can do so much with so little. Think twice before asking for more blessings as opposed to thanking Him for the ones you have. Count them. A few blessings may be all you need. Consider the fact that as believers, we're passing through this life in an endurance race to a goal many won't reach. Offer what "few" you have, taking on the heart and mind of a giver. "..., and yet, another seed is planted."

Evening readers. Consistent, unwavering, predictable. These are terms that conjure mental images of things you depend upon. Before you find fault in the ability of a nation, an organization, or a person to deliver these qualities; can you confirm them within yourself? To much is given, much is required. Well, what is given, must still be earned and in the earning curve, the "required" part starts to make sense or unravel only to leave the learner of this education strengthened or left in tatters. Time. Time is the rule in where we evaluate these lessons and appreciate the aforementioned qualities. The value of time and the observance of its affects in/on life appear to be losing their appeal with regards to this next generation i.e., the millennials. Much study and time have been invested in finding creative ways to gain the attention of this league of new wave people. It would seem that irony is not without a sense of humor. Value your time. Value the time of others. Realize...

Pain will change a person. The changes that occur vary from minor to drastic. A poor grade on a test affecting a final grade, which in turn decreases a gpa might change options regarding higher education goals. Loss of a loved one needs no lengthy explanation as readers of this post who've experienced such loss can assuredly attest to the facts behind changes of this kind. It is not uncommon for people to handle life and all it encompasses through the lenses of pain. Some grow stronger through pain while others carry it, never releasing it's temporary hold. The Truth about pain is that if it doesn't kill you, then it will indeed make you stronger. Question is, what part of your life is going to benefit from the new strength? Will the benefit be of a positive or negative nature? Failure may convince you to do your due diligence next time or increase your penchant to complain about your life. Not being acknowledged for your efforts openly may humble you, leading to a more rew...

The audience I anticipate will follow this blog will be a network, primarily consisting of faith based believers and those who seek to encourage others. I'll begin blog#37 as if I've never stopped writing. I'll communicate as if I've gained a faithful following of committed readers, since the blogs inception. None of this may be true but encouragement fills my heart this evening. Fresh off the heals of a second service whereby one of our illustrious ministers was officially ordained as a pastor, Im beaming with a rejuvenated spirit, filled with excitement, convincing me to write..., again. It is my sincerest hope that as I continue writing this blog that my experiences, encourage someone to keep dreaming. Keep fighting. Keep loving and keep living. Death, sorrow, frustration, education, and celebration summed up this weekend. Often times, we can become disconnected from the things in life that matter most. The grind we call life can take a toll if we allow ourselves to...

Another week as a believer, in the record books and annals chronicling the lives of God's people has passed on into the past. What have you logged in on time given to building The Kingdom? How much time have you accumulated investing in a stronger relationship with your Savior? These are typical questions you can ask yourself when evaluating your walk. Don't mind asking or petitioning others who witness your living witness. They will not face judgement with you. Your walk will be executed according to The Word of God in,"fear and trembling". A made up mind to serve God till you die is ample ground and all God needs to ensure your victory on this side of The Kingdom. If you are unhappy or unsatisfied with your results and still have life and breath, then you've got another opportunity to achieve better results. We are forgiven. Live forgiven. Live with the strength of a loving God on your side. Bold, courageous, victorious, and destined for continual growth. NO LIM...

What is consistency and how does it pertain to God? How does one go about expressing oneself, sharing the blessings of God without looking like someone needing a forum to run their mouth? I'll tell you..., give it to God. Man can't deliver 10 times out of 10 but Christ can. No man could ever be as consistent as The Creator of all of Heaven and Earth, having the seasons, years, months, and days accurately move in time and sync. So, to express this awe in a state of pure amazement is not an attempt to spout nonsense but to do what we we're all put here to do and that is..., to give God glory. "... and yet, another seed has been planted."

Myself and a colleague of mine briefly discussed, love. That undoubtedly sounds incredible silly as love saved of us from eternal damnation. My comment rests solely on the fact that we were only passing each other in the hallway, thus affording us only a brief opportunity for conversation. Her response to a statement I'd made is what really started the whole thing. At some point, I had said that love never fails, which prompted her to immediately come back with, "yes it does". She then went on to justify her response in light of the fact that a professor at an institution of higher learning gave her a failing grade on a paper she'd written, attempting to prove that love never fails. Well, all it took was a failing grade to sway her belief but what about the Saints? This is where I stood ground and quickly asked her what the teachers point of reference was. A look of amusement scrolled across her face as she realized where I was going with the discussion. Yes, given Ch...

Be better. Be better by being consistent. Be consistent in the things you've chosen to do for Jesus. Do for Jesus, those things He's told you to do. Most of those things can be found in His Word. If we become better at reading and studying His Word consistently, He'll reveal to us, the treasures found in the wisdom of His Word. This will in-turn open our eyes and ears up to the gifts He's specifically placed within us, which are designed to bring Him glory.Glory to God forever. That is the goal and that's why we strive... to be better. " ... and yet, another seed is plant ed"

ChristianNetworkBlog Family: Christian family, i was talking to my son tonight after watching a scene from a movie that'll go unmentioned.why, you might ask.the movie's title is not as important as what I told him and will share with you.the series of events in the scenes we'd watched during the film brought the character to the edge of life but after facing eminent death the character was left the better for it.the character's eyes were opened, so to speak.what i explained to my son was that the entire theory and it's enactment via cinema was a mass message delivery of a worldly theory.the theory's roots may have some of its origins in our (believers) truth but it's been tainted by the enemies of God.yes, a near death experience may bring one to a live life like you've got no tomorrow attitude but who's life will you live.the one you want for you, which is driven by your flesh or the one Jesus wants for you? the latter also is a life changing expe...

i truly apologize for the delay between blogs and i'll make no excuses but it leads me into this next blog.i've found that by default,i find myself letting people down on purpose.why would someone do that,you may ask?many of us have found fault in those we've looked up to,had confidence in,or trusted with our deepest and darkest secrets.on numerous occasions we've done so only to find that those individuals had "feet of clay" just like us.after dealing with these disappointments and with some years of this reality under the belt,the pain loses its shock value,doesn't hurt as much,and sometimes...,not at all.but beware!as i've indicated,i have begun to show my own faults and fallibility early on in relationships in a feeble attempt to facilitate the potential "too good a person to be true" attitude which waits in the wings.the attitude that waits to feed the soapbox boasting by the enemy claiming,"i told you so",all to gain power ov...

the word of God says that the Lord chastens those of whom He loves.life is humorous in the fact that it allows us to draw connections to things we are passionate about through intense experiences.in other words,if you've gone through something that changes your perception,behavior,or life,then you are more compelling in expressing your position regarding the matter.just as a parent reprimands and/or delivers discipline to a child,God deals in a similar manner with those He calls His own.He will even go as far as making the affairs that surround your life,so intense that your focus becomes clear on the reality that He supplies all your needs.You can do nothing without His guidance and nothing is more important than the relationship that you build with your Lord and Saviour,Jesus Christ.                               ...

do you ever get the feeling that something’s just not right?yeah?well,we all get that from time to time but God does not.the fact that He doesn't get that feeling and we do lends additional faith to our hope in Christ. He lived as a man to experience what we go through but as both man and God at the same time,He was never surprised or in question about His life here on earth but served as an example of how we should carry on as pilgrims of this life.on this journey,we encounter sin and temptation at every turn and we dont always navigate the terrain correctly in accordance to God's Word.yet and still,He loves us to continue giving us another chance,and another,and another,and another,and ...!you get the point.then now,we further understand that these are just feelings and being fashioned in the image of our Heavenly Father we realize that we are spirit.we are spirit living out lives through flesh as opposed to flesh living out life through spiritual occasions and visitation...

i was told that my vision could not be founded on the hopes of money.the same source said that mentors are a must have too.the question isn't about wealth building but where your heart is.the word of Christ stipulates that the love of money is the root of all evil.many misconstrue the verse as an interpretation defining money as evil in and of itself but that is false.money is nothing but a tool.it has no value by itself but when put to proper use...,no one complains. Jesus is not opposed to us having things or wealth for that matter but he doesn't want us to desire or overextend ourselves to obtain it.seek ye first the kingdom of heaven.meditating on gods word day and night is a direct link to not just just success but good success .god has a system and it has rules and guidelines .follow his plan for your life and run parallel to those guidelines or better yet,in the same vein.he loves us and showed us by sacrificing his son Jesus for us. don't know many of us that...

i find myself following the media coverage on our worlds youth activity,specifically the violence in most recent news.from the riots in London to the mobs in Philly.when I'm not promoting www.godsseed1.com,i am working with youth.an assessment of these social complications can be directly attributed to home training.one parent and two parent family home dynamics determine much of a child's character but make no mistake,theres no excuse for the physical harm being distributed by opportunists hanging out after dark.differing angles have been discussed via radio and TV broadcasts.i even heard of a parent bringing their child to justice for actions criminal in nature.simply stated,right is right and wrong is wrong.if we are not careful,the powers that be will place demands on us as to how we will raise our children.i just saw a commercial sponsored by a large company during a news hour broadcast asking viewers,do you know where your children are.not funny ...

many dont know that godsseed1.com is passionate about racing and has found it ironic that life's dealt many twists and turns.this road course comparison gives way to the idea that,just like a racer and his car,you have to stay sharp.you have to practice,test,and tune.most importantly,as you travel,the course changes but your core values facing those differing courses,stays the same.point being..., Christ is constant and never changes.no matter the course Jesus is always prepared and his skill is unmatched .who better to learn from.who better to ask for direction and strategy. I'm empowered by the thought alone.the checkered flag is in my sites ... and yet,another seed has been planted

you survive this life through your belief system.no one was ever expected to live without one.the question is,what do you believe and is it strong enough to sustain you.life is full of joys and disappointments .it is difficult at times to navigate.your system must be able to stand in both good and bad times. Christ was always the answer but cannot be forced upon someone.in order to serve him,you must be convinced that he is who he said he is in his word.confidence in your findings will come through tested time with him in valleys and on mountain tops.know that he is who says he is.get to know him,his system i.e.,his word and know he is the way the truth and the light. ...and yet,another seed is planted
