pride

Hello everyone and thank you for coming today, I pray for each and every one of you that God Blesses you somehow for studying His Word here. I do know there are nicer sites, and flashy, more entertaining sites than my picture but it really is me and no powder, makeup or toupee.(yet)
In the matter of Sister Uyi, I want to thank 2 people that sent some support and caring letters about her. Linda in Elk Horn, KY., and Chandra in Texas. Out of several thousand readers a month I find it hard to believe that only 2 were willing to part with some of what they had to help a woman(Sister Uyi orphanage) who is seriously in need. I know for most of you this might get old but these people are alive at the moment because of The Lord,
me and a few others. Last time I wrote a rain storm had broken in their roof and a beam hit a little child in the head, the hospital in Africa would not treat him until paid, he was dying mind you, and would not let him go until the bill was paid.

At the moment they could use some food and lots of it, there’s 13 all together and the oldest ones don’t have uniforms to wear to school much less electricity or food to eat. This will continue until I get financially sound enough to help set them up for at least a year. These people have been through hardships this year until I know I am going to be more shocked at the next letter than at the last. I don’t know how much longer I can keep them alive, it costs too much for one person, I can hardly afford myself.

I started my message today on Pride, this is a very good reason to write on this today, those 2 women that helped can be proud of themselves for helping. The amount is not what matters, the point that they took time out of their lives to help someone in need is tantamount to the good Samaritan the lord spoke of in the Bible.

I have said a special prayer for them and I know for a fact God will bless them, it is sure. I have seen it happen too many times.
Pride was satans downfall, also the scribes and Pharisees, Lawyers in Jesus earthly ministry were also the same. The Lord told them the parable of the man that went on journey to a far country and sent men back to collect the rewards for letting out the vineyards and so forth to them. They stoned them and he sent another and they killed him, last of all he sent his only Son(The Lord) and said they will reverence Him because he is my Son, but they said “this is the heir, let us kill Him also and keep the inheritance“. What do you think he will do to those miserable people? Then they knew the Lord was talking about Himself; and that’s exactly what they did, they liked the way things were going and didn’t want anyone changing it, so they had the Lord crucified.

Let me tell you something right now, the way this economy is going and the way times and things are shaping up Politically and financially, we could all be in the same condition as this poor old widow who has the burden of these children with all the wealth in this world and there is no one to help.

If not for the Grace of God you too could be just like her. Think about that the next time you eat or sleep in a warm bed. Folks bad times aren’t here yet, but they’re coming. You can count on it.

Amen
