FOOD FOR THOUGHT:

Are you DRESSED FOR SUCCESS?

Put on the whole arm our of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. Ephesians 6:11.

Don't allow yourself to be enticed, influenced, manipulated, deceived, persuaded, tricked or cunned into believing any other Gospel, other than the unadulterated WORD OF GOD. In order to survive in this present world, we must be covered by the blood of Jesus. The whole armour of God is designed to protect our heart, mind, soul and body from the attacks of the adversary. When we are in right relationship with God, we are his children, and as such, we have access to Our Father in heaven and he has promised to watch over and protect us. He said that he would keep our minds in perfect peace as long as it is stayed on him. The WORD also says that " No weapon that is formed against us shall prosper." Isaiah 54:17.
"Our SUCCESS IN LIFE is predicated on our OBEDIENCE TO GOD."

It may seem strange to equate Obedience with Success, but the truth of the matter is when we are obedient to God, it says that we are willing to be led by God, thereby leading to successful living. We live by the BOOK for a reason.
Joshua 1:8 is a constant reminder. "This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then shalt thou make thy way prosperous, and then shalt thou have good success.
When we are led by the Spirit of God, we are assured success in life. Never underestimate the POWER OF THE WORD.

In my many years on this earth, I have learned that when the Lord calls us home, we will go, no matter the struggle. No one can stop it. We have one life to live. The material things we invest in are left behind. Memories therefore, are important to me. And so, I'm going to start a "reunion of friends". The idea is to see who reads a post without a picture. If no one reads my post, this will be a very short experiment. But if you are reading this message, make a comment using a single word about how we met. After that copy this message on your wall and I will also leave you a word. Please, don't leave a word and then not bother doing the second thing. Let’s go!! My friends are important to me!
