By Faith

You don’t make decisions based on some bad report, fear, doubt or the lies of the enemy. 

You are not governed by your flesh or your sinful desires or the patterns of this world. 

You live according to Kingdom principles.

You believe in the promises of God. 

You consider God to be able, just and true. 

You know that you have a hope and a future. 

That’s why you walk by faith.

Why You Should Trust the Lord

Life presents all sorts of challenges. Our world is full of conflicts. Heck, you might be dealing with some crisis today. Truth be told, when we experience hardship or heartbreak, it’s not easy to recall and apply the principles of our spirituality. 

Scripture tells us that whenever we face a Rea Sea, a giant or a mountain, we have a choice. We can either cling to worry like a safety blanket or we can embrace the truth of God’s Word. My friend, to agree with God’s thoughts on a matter is called: faith, reliance or trust. 

It doesn’t matter how much good we do, in this world we will have trouble. I don’t know the size, scope or source of your circumstances, but here are six Scriptural reasons why we can trust in the Lord: 

1. God knows you by name. [Isaiah 43:1]
2. God thinks about you. [Psalm 139:17]
3. God will fight for you. [Exodus 14:14]
4. God is your refuge. [Psalm 62:6-8]
5. God has a plan for you. [Jeremiah 29:11]
6. God is always with you. [Matthew 28:20]

As we trust in the Lord, He will make our paths straight in this journey called life.

Good Things From God

All good things come from God.

The source of our stuff and the strength of our lives is God.

In Him we live and more and have our being.

He is Author and Finisher; the good work He started shall be completed.

Beloved, your Heaven-sent blessing is coming.

• Heaven is the factory of miracles.
• Heaven is the mail room for answered prayers.
• Heaven is the storehouse of blessings.
• Heaven is staging areas for goodness and mercy.
• Heaven is the command center for your victory.

All good things come from God.

That’s why we shouldn’t lean on our human understanding.

That’s why we don’t depend on physical might or power.

That’s why we are foolish to rely on arms of flesh.

Friend, we dare not place our total trust in anything in the natural because grass withers and flowers fade…rust destroys, moths eat, and thieves take.

But anything that comes from God is eternal and everlasting and endures forever.

Look up, good things are coming.

Read: James 1:17, Ps 27:1, Acts 17:28, Heb 12:2, Phil 1:6, Prov 3:5, Zech 4:6, Jer 17:5 Isa 40:8, Mt 6:19

A Prayer for Love

I serve a church called Richmond Christian Church in Staten Island, NY.

This morning, I felt impressed to share with Richmond, the words the Apostle Paul wrote to a church in Turkey.

Here is my pastoral prayer for love:

1 If we speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, we are only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.

² If we have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if Richmond has a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, we are nothing.

³ If we give all we possess to the poor and give over our bodies to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, Richmond gains nothing.

⁴ Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.

⁵ It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

⁶ Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.

⁷ It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

⁸ Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.

¹³ And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

We are empowered to live out our destiny and potential.

A Church about Jesus & Love

Hello Tos4god Readers,

I have the honor of leading Richmond Christian Church in Staten Island, NY.

As the Senior Pastor, it truly is exciting (most of the time) and challenging (some of the time) to minister to a newborn congregation.

I am grateful to God for His sustaining grace, a WONDERFUL WIFE, and for the steadfast support of so many selfless partners, who serve for the sake of the Kingdom.

Richmond is all about PREACHING JESUS and LOVING PEOPLE.

We welcome every background, culture & heritage.

We believe our lost and dying world needs the Message of Hope.

We are more interested in seeing transformed lives than clinging to religious labels.

We value brutal honesty about our imperfections, but we strive to overcome our challenges.

We want to see people empowered to live out their destiny and potential.

It is my hope that when people visit us, they will encounter Jesus and experience love.

For more info, visit our website, friend request us on Facebook, follow us on Instagram and Twitter.

Thanks for your prayers.

Because of Him,

Tos4god

God can do the impossible

Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

Healing is not a hard thing for Him.

Our mountains are like ant hills to Him.

What constrains us cannot limit Him.

The expert can have their opinions, but the last word remains with Him.

Big blessings are His specialty.

Miracles are His signature.

Therefore, whoever we are facing…whatever we are fighting…

We must PRAY

We gotta BELIEVE

We just need to RECEIVE

Because God can do the impossible.
