Committed


Ruth 1:16


But Ruth replied, "Don't urge me to leave you or to turn back from you. Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God my God.

 
Have you ever, just once, been fully committed to something or someone? Have you totally lost yourself In support of a mission, person or purpose? In an instant the thoughts of self-glory and preservation fade into the background. What takes its place is a purpose that is larger than you.


The world will never understand this type of commitment fully. For at its roots is the message and Spirit of GOD. When you get married you are representing a symbol of this commitment. To become a Christian and embrace GOD as the center of your world and to live a life of expression to that fact is the fruit that represents this lifelong commitment. When you truly encounter the reality of the Kingdom of GOD you realize the price of your citizenship. You realize GOD has extended himself fully to offer you a place at His side. This is the commitment that outlasts the shallowness of all earthly possessions and vanity.


The bottom line is this: Make the commitment to Loving GOD and loving others to the fullest. The commitment Ruth made should be the same one you make to GOD. When you accept Christ you are saying “God where you lead I will follow, where you direct me I will go, Your way is now my way”. When GOD is your captain, and he becomes the center of your life, everything else will fall into place. Stop committing to things that are temporary. Commit to GOD, and start living today!


Be encouraged. I love you always and in all ways.

 

Rev. M. Harrison

KNOW YOUR ROLL!

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. JERM 29:11 What is GOD Calling you to do. Are you seeking GOD's purpose for your own life or are you riding the coat tails of another? For years I fought the call of minister and pastor because the calling ran in my family. I wondered "am I projecting my own will into my life?" Was I only following my earthly role models? GOD does call us to respect and look to those soldiers in Christ that have answered their call of ministry. However GOD calls us to seek his will for our own lives. He has a special unique plan for each of us that is not designed after or a copy of someone else's. We need to stop saying the following: I want to be a pastor just like _______! I want to bless other financially just like_______! I want to be blessed just like ______! We should say this instead: I want to be like Christ when I be...

Never Lose You!

Mark 8:36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? _____________________________________________________ The world would have you believe that it has all of the answers.   The world will tell you that what you see, hear, feel, touch and smell is all that is real and worth living for.   But you may not know or understand that living for the rewards of this world come at a cost.   The world’s influence, when used as the blueprint for living, takes your heart and shapes it to its will leaving you an empty shell of who you really are. Nothing in this world is worth changing who you are in Christ.   There is no middle ground in the issue.   Yes, we are all a work in progress and live in this world, but who we are is not dictated by anything or anyone in this world.   Who you are is worth more than whatever this world has to offer.   Do not chase the image the world is selling you.   Unless...

COVERED!

So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. John 8:7 Even though we know better, do we live parts of our lives in secret as if GOD is not watching. We need to ask God to shine a light on the areas we need to fix.   Yes we need fixing. Just as no man could throw the first stone at the woman caught in adultery, we cannot cast any judgment on to anyone but ourselves. We do not deserve  anything but death because of our sin. If we are dirty, and in no way worthy of GOD’s attention, then WHY!?!?!,.   .even though we deserve the stones to be thrown upon us does GOD cover for us.   In this scripture we are manifested in the face of the adulterous woman.   At one point in our lives we have chosen our way over GOD’s way. Realize that when we choose our way over GOD’s way that is sin.   Just as Satan sinned when pride entered his heart and he vowed to r...
