A Tenth or All?

“Ok, I need a new bed and mattress, a couch, and I want a new cell phone. Once I get these things first, then I’ll work on getting some of these bills paid down”.



I have heard so many people get a new job that pays even more than what they were currently making. It is liberating to know we will have a bigger paycheck; however, when we are still doing the same thing with our money and have not learned to make sacrifices in our lives that in the end will lead to prosperity; the increase will not benefit your household.

Watch out though; because it’s a set up from Satan who knows that you are weak in your thoughts; especially when it comes to money ~ when we get it, we have no self-control. (This is one of the fruit of the spirit)


Most of the time, God doesn’t give us increase when we want it because He already knows that you will soon be back to where you started from ~ in lack!



It’s not about how much you make, it’s about how you utilize what God has given you and the first thing we are to do is tithe. Then establish a balance of spending, saving and giving to others. The word says, “Owe no man anything, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.Romans 13:8 KJV So when you are debt free, you have freedom to enjoy life the way Christ died on the cross for us to do!


Bring all the tithes into the storehouse so there will be enough food in my Temple. If you do," says the LORD of Heaven's Armies, "I will open the windows of heaven for you. I will pour out a blessing so great you won't have enough room to take it in! Try it! Put me to the test! Malachi 3:10 NLT

Do You REALLY Know?

I was in JC Penney a few years ago just browsing and this woman passed me calling a little girl who was in the shoe section to come on, she was ready to leave. The little girl quickly grabbed a specific pair of shoes and walked over to her, pleading for the shoes. Well being social, I commented they were very cute shoes and would look good on her. The Grandmother proceeded with, “She has more than enough shoes at home and although they are cute, we are not buying them”. The little girl begged for a short while and realized she was not going to win this battle, so the shoes went back to the shoe department. As the little girl was leaving, her Grandmother began telling me how she provides for the child quite often and her daughter (the child's Mother) do not have a good relationship. She badly berated her daughter to the point I said in my mind, “God should I pray for this woman”; because from listening to her story, I felt the relationship could not continue is this manner, an...

SILENCE - does no one Justice!

I posted this September 25, 2016 on social media. I have added some things; but it still holds weight and value! God put this on my heart to repost, and almost 4 years later many are seeing what Dr. King meant in the 60’s! I am speaking of those who call themselves Christians and Pastors who are silent and have been for centuries! Jesus says in John 15:17-18 AMPC: 17 This is what I command you: that you love one another. 18 If the world hates you, know that it hated Me before it hated you. Jesus also said: J ohn 15:10-16 AMPC If you keep My commandments [if you continue to obey My instructions], you will abide in My love  and  live on in it, just as I have obeyed My Father's commandments and live on in His love. I have told you these things, that My joy  and  delight may be in you, and that your joy  and  gladness may be of full measure  and  complete  and  overflowing. This is My commandment: that you love one another [jus...

Appetizer # 3 Knowledge - Cont'd

Over eighteen years ago, God gave me the knowledge to create a flyer ~ and to this day I am not sure how I created it. I know the knowledge came from God because when I went to go to the computer to re-design it instead of scan it in, I could not figure it out! Hmmmm I was a computer tech when it was designed and had the ability to figure out the ins and outs of creating a custom flyer as the one you will see shortly. But today, the knowledge is not there. It's amazing how God gives us the gifts we need at the time it is necessary to do it! ~ I know, I got off the path a little bit ~well back to the flyer and the message God wants us to receive. The message the flyer is portraying is so profound that I became ecstatic when in all of the wonderful creations from years gone by, I found this. OH WOW ~ was my initial reaction and then I ask myself, " What is it God wants me to do with this"? Obviously , there was work to do within me over the eighteen years to understa...
