Has God blessed you with insight to see needs of others and reach out in compassion and understanding even when they, themselves, cannot reach out and ask for help? This month I had rare opportunity to not only reach out and touch a few lives, but to be blessed in return. I say rare because in my own experience, it’s either been one or other—not both at same time. I used to believe that it was because giving and receiving at same time would take focus off what God intended for us, or other party, to learn. But this month, as I was fulfilling God’s desire for me to serve others, He sent others to act as servants to my family. And you know what I learned? Humbling yourself to receive God’s blessings is just as important as humbling yourself to give God’s blessings to others. Whether you give or you receive, you must first humble yourself before Lord and let His will take precedence over your circumstances, your emotions, your finances, and your actions. It doesn’t matter what you own, how much money you have in bank, how talented or educated you are, or how many people you know. If God calls you to have a servant’s heart, He will make a way for you to accomplish what He has put on your heart to do. A servant’s heart has more to do with your relationship with God than it has to do with your desire to be recognized for your good deeds. Having a servant’s heart is one most beautiful expressions of love I know. It’s showing your love to another human being by simply being who God intended you to be. It’s about seeing a need and fulfilling it without any strings attached. It’s about making yourself uncomfortable so that someone else could be comfortable. It’s about showing Christ’s love through your actions and words. And finally, it’s about touching lives of those around you with such a gentle kindness that your act will be remembered for years to come.

ChapeterI My people die for lack of knowledge. Have you ever wondered why we hang crosses around our necks, in our homes, in our temples, etc? The majority of us are led to believe that it is in remembrance of our Savior. I'm here today to expose lie. Ask yourself this question, if my eldest son or daughter were persecuted, belittled and left to die in a han-man's noose, would I wear one around my neck in remembrance? Or better yet, would I allow his siblings to do so? Your answer to this question should be no! Then why do we do it? Because that is exactly what we are doing everytime we hang a cross in our home, on or person, and every other place that we choose to hang one. Let me tell you why! A lot of people who call themselves children of Father are going to talk about me for saying this, but let them talk. They talked about Redeemer. This article, and future book will upset a lot of demons. So, if you feel like your spirit is in a state of unrest, stop reading, because this ain't for you anyway! This article is meant for true believer! There's only a precious few of us out here and I intend to use internet to reach as many of you as I possibly can. This article's intent is to remove yokes of blindness that children of Father have been ladened with for centuries. One, being cross! that's right, cross, it Satan's second biggest lie. The first was when he convinced world that he didn't exist. That's right people, wake up! The devil has taken an instrument used to belittle, degrade, persecute and eventually kill your Savior, and now he's got us wearing them around our necks, hanging them in our sacred places for worship. How twisted is that? Look, it ain't no secret, I've done it too. Then one day, I was looking at my son and something came over me. He was wearing a small silver chain with
