PASTOR’S CORNER

I want to share this passage with you, that it might bless you, like it does me.

Proverbs 18:21 says “The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat it’s fruit”.

God did not create us so we could just live and nothing else. We were created to reach excellence. We have seeds inside of us, but we have to believe it and be aware of it.

We will never be able to elevate ourselves above the image we have about ourselves and that’s why it’s so important to see ourselves as God sees us. We bring ourselves down when we say things such as: “I am fat, I broke my diet, I do not spend enough time with my family, I do not clean my house as I should, I do not have enough money for ...”.

We should say things like “I am blessed, healthy, strong, talented, creative, wise. I can do all things with the Lord’s help”.

We need to speak words of faith for ourselves and our families.

The only way is to change the negative words into positive ones.

God has a great image about us, it depends on us if we walk in that image or not. IT IS TIME THAT WE HAVE AN AGREEMENT WITH GOD and begin to feel good about ourselves.

Remember that it’s the enemy that tells us “You are not good enough, you don’t do things correctly”.

Let’s say “I am good enough, because God created me”. I might not do things perfectly, but I do the best I can and if I fail, I will try again and do better. I am blessed”.

We can always ask the Lord to Help us to replace the words we speak about ourselves and our family.

Let’s give harvest to the seeds God has placed inside of us.

God bless you
