What interest me the most is the Call of God and doing all I can for the Kingdom and God's children for the glory of God
- Which Road are you Traveling?
-
Matthew 7:13-14
Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: [14] Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.There are two roads on this Christian Journey, the straight and narrow way and then the wide and broad way. Which road do you travel? Which is more appealing to you? Which road are you most familiar with?
STRAIGHT & NARROW WAY - This road seems to be very dark at times. it even seems as if there's no way out. Some have thought that, "they would surely die here". Many gave up and just threw in the towel, but there's always a faithful few that hang in there and endure until the end, through all of the trials and tribulations and even though it may seem dark at times, they recognize the light at the end of the road.
There are some that refuse to walk this road because of trial and tribulation or they dont like the idea of putting others first; to some it seems boring and to others it seems to strict of a way. And then you have those ones who thinks it's just unheard of to love your enemies. There were many that started out on this road and became weary and thought it useless to continue traveling here and so they turned back not realizing that if they had took just a few more steps they would have came to the light at the other end, just a few more steps blessings were awaiting them, all that God had promised was waiting and most of all EVERLASTING LIFE was standing at the end of the road with outstretched arms!
WIDE & BROAD WAY - Wow! Check it out! This road has lights every where, it's all lit up! Look! There's silver and god, vehicles and large homes and sooo many activities to take part in. Yes, all of this and then some is on this road - to the visible eye, for 1 John 2:16 says, For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. Many are eager to travel this road because of the fame and fortune, but they forgot to find out what was at the end of this road! The road that was once all so lit up, is now awfully dark, it was all a mirage, deceitfulness was in motion on this road. So much else is present on this road; self gain is here; jealousy is present; strife, murder and hatred are all on this road. Guess what? Many are at the end of this road now and DEATH and HELL is waiting with outstretched arms, they want to turn around but IT'S TOO LATE!
Will you suffer with Him (Jesus), to reign with Him or will you enjoy the broadway for a short season?

Here's some of the notes on the Message that God gave me to bring forth on Sunday Morning.
ACCOUNTABILITY
By: Lady Melissa Sutton
March 9, 2008
Account – (Webster) a statement of reasons, causes or motives, a statement of facts, a reason for actions, to give an explanation, (Accountability) – Responsible for giving an explanation of actions.
Account – (Lexical Aids to the N.T., Strong's Concordance) something said – including a thought, reasoning, to testify, to respond, to witness, to take inventory (a complete list or stock of goods), to estimate
2 Timothy 4:5 (KJV)
But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an Evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.
2 Timothy 4:5 (The Message Bible)
But you, keep your eye on what you're doing; accept the hard times along with the good; keep the message alive; do a thorough job as God's servant.
Full Proof – (Greek Word – Plerophoreo) – to fulfill, abounding or abundant, full, complete, perfect, thoroughly accomplished, established or brought to an end and completed, reaching it's goal, to be fully proved, to be confirmed with the fullest evidence, to be fully persuaded.
Ministry – (Greek Word – Diakonia) – Serviceable labor, assistance, compassionate love toward the needy within the Christian community, every business – every calling so far as it's labor benefits others (THIS IS MINISTRY) (In this sense Paul and Luke in the Acts used the word to delegate the vocation of those who preach the Gospel and have the care of the churches)
Note: Ministry is an office or ministration in the Christian community viewed with reference to the labor needed for others both in the case of individuals/others to Minister.
- We must perform all parts of Ministry with diligence and care:
- Ministers must expect afflictions in the faithful discharge of their duty.
- They must endure them patiently
- They must continue to spread the gospel

-
Genesis 1:26-27
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. [27] So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.Tailor - one who makes or alters, one who forms to suit requirements.
We have been tailor made to meet the requirements for the calling in which we we're called. Every aspect of our lives have been Tailor Made by the "MASTER TAILOR", God Himself. God is no failure and neither can He fail, God has Tailor Made us in His image, therefore there's no failure in us. A failure is not one who dont succeed the first couple of tries but continues to run their course but a failure is a person who refuse to get up, brush themselves off and try again-they just quit all together. God is perfect and everything He creates is perfectly made. There's nothing we can do to better our being, or to better our journey outside of what God has already done. This is where the problem comes in, there are people who believe that they are a better Tailor than God. There are people who have the "I CAN DO IT BETTER" mentality, these are those that fail in whatsoever they put their hands to do. If you're finding yourself failing in all that you do, you need to check and see if you are trying to become God in your own life - you cannot take the place of the "MASTER TAILOR - our HEAVENLY FATHER".
I'm here to tell you that God have Tailor Made you for Victory. You were Tailor Made to Win. God know His creations, He knows every thread and every fiber used to create us, the hairs on your head are numbered to the number. Stop trying to to be little gods (with a lowercase g) and let God (the uppercase G) be who He is in your life. He's your "Master Tailor", You're His design, and who would know you better than He, the one who designed you. God has plans to prosper His people in His due season.
Tailor Made is when you have a outfit made to fit your body specifically and perfectly - it's made to fit every curve, every lump and every bump and I assure you that although 2 persons may both fit a size 12 a tailor made suit will only fit the one in whom it was made for (a perfect fit). You're suit was made to fit you and you alone, God has tailor made your anointing, your personality, your structure, your character, your talents, your gifts, the calling on your life, your trials, your tribulations and most of all your Journey, the path in which your destiny lies are all tailor made for each individual. Our success is tailor made, for we cant handle another person's success on that which was made for us.
So many are trying to take on the identity of others in Christ, not realizing that another man/woman's suit will not fit them. Stop despising the suit that God has made specifically for you - it may not look like the next person's, it may not even seem as prosperous as your bro/sis, but just remember that you're so special to God that He created everything that evolves around you and your life to be a perfect fit. Wow! God is showing me so much concerning our walk and lifestyle with Him, I cant write fast enough. God is so awesome and He's worthy of all the glory, honor and praise.
There are people that dont understand and some dont even believe in or accept the SUIT of the APOSTLE, PROPHET, EVANGELIST, PASTOR nor the TEACHER, but it's because that's not their suit to wear, that fiber isn ot even included in their suit. Some suits we're made to be a HINDRANCE and a STUMBLING BLOCK, we cant condemn or judge those one's simply because they are just wearing the suit that was tailor made for them by the Father. This is their job and they do it well, I must say they are wearing their suit and they wear it well. The saints of God must do like wise, we must wear the suit that God created for us, God can only say, "WELL DONE" to the ones that have worn their suit for Him. Stay out of other folk closet trying to borrow their suit because it's not going to FIT! Those who have on the Suit of God will be talked about, scandalized and mocked, just because you wear your suit well. There are people who will hate on you out of jealousy - they want what God has given you, not coming to the knowledge that WHAT GOD HAS FOR YOU IS FOR YOU!
In my closing, people are going to hate, mock, lie, scandalize and even try to imitate you, but know that God the 'MASTER TAILOR' has made your suit and there's not enough words anyone can speak to make you change suits. WE WE'RE TAILOR MADE TO BE VICTORIOUS IN JESUS CHRIST our LORD.
Proverbs 16:4
The Lord hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil. [KJV]Eccles. 3:11
He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end. [KJV]Eccles. 7:29
Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions. [KJV]John 1:3
All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.Wednesday March 5, 2008 - 01:09pm (EST) Permanent Link | 0 Comments
