Gift from God

One man said we are born Unique but die a copy. God gave everyone a unique gift different  fingerprints. Your not a copy but a original. Don’t waste your life trying to copy another person.

The reason we are told to give alms secretly God will reward us openly is to protect folks dignity that are going through a crisis.  

PRAYER - "Keep On Praying, Even Under Divine Affliction"

"Remember, O LORD, what is come upon us: ...our inheritance is turned to strangers, ...We are orphans and fatherless, ...Our necks are under persecution: ...Servants have ruled over us, ...they ravished the women in Zion, ...Princes are hanged up by their hand: ...They took the young men to grind, ...The joy of our heart is ceased; our dance is turned into mourning. ...woe unto us, ...we have sinned!" Keep on praying!

Lamentations 5:21-22 - "Turn thou us unto thee, O LORD, ...renew our days as of old. But thou hast utterly rejected us; thou art very wroth against us."

PRINCIPALS - "Jeremiah - The Weeping Prophet"

No one but a true man of God can comprehend the bitterness of failing to win the souls of a people. For twenty-five years, Jeremiah stood in the courts of the temple and the streets of Jerusalem, begging the people to get right with God. But they utterly rejected his ministry. Over and over again, Jeremiah cried, "She has no one to comfort her!"

Lamentations 1:16 - "For these things I weep; mine eye, mine eye runneth down with water, because the comforter that should relieve my soul is far from me: my children are desolate, because the enemy prevailed."

PRINCIPLES - "Sorrow Has Many Metaphors"

Jeremiah used just about every metaphor and allegory he could think of to describe his anguish at failing to convert Judah and avert their overthrow. His sorrow was overwhelming. "I am the man that has seen affliction..."

Lamentations 3:1-16 - "...the rod of His wrath, ...dark places ...His hand against me ...my flesh and skin made old ...broken my bones ...gall and travail ...hedged me about ...my chain heavy ...He as a bear lying in wait ...as a lion in secret places ...bent His bow ...made me drunken with wormwood ...broken my teeth with stones ...covered me with ashes."

PROPHECIES - "God's Footstool - The Place Of His Feet"

David said the earth is God's footstool. Specifically, God wanted to plant His feet in Jerusalem. In Ezekiel, God called the coming millennial temple, "the place of the soles of my feet." Isaiah prophesied that God would beautify the place of His sanctuary, "and I will make the place of my feet glorious." No wonder Jeremiah was so distraught that God had removed his feet from His footstool in Jerusalem.

Lamentations 2:1 - "How hath the Lord ...cast down from heaven unto the earth the beauty of Israel, and remembered not his footstool in the day of his anger."

Why search for life when it’s one decision away! Get born again and God will turn your confessing into Possessing. Faith demands of you to possess! It’s not greed it’s faith. Faith will not let the devil keep stuff! God said for the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the  just. Faith will push you to buy a new house, push you to buy a new vehicle, appliances, etc. The earth belongs to the church, God is saying, when will we except it. Make the decision to possess the possession that God has given. 

The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord’s: but the earth hath he given to the children of men. Psalms 116: 16

PRAYER - "Praying For Obvious Results"

When Jeremiah surveyed the devastating, tragic consequences of Judah's rebellion, he prayed that God would deal harshly with those who fought so hard against his prophetic warnings. God certainly would have anyway.

Lamentations 3:60-61,64-66 - "Thou hast seen all their vengeance and all their imaginations against me. Thou hast heard their reproach, O LORD, and all their imaginations against me; ...Render unto them a recompence, O LORD, according to the work of their hands. Give them
 sorrow of heart, thy curse unto them. Persecute and destroy them in anger from under the heavens of the LORD."

PRINCIPALS - "Throw The Book Into The River"

Over the years, Jeremiah dictated to Baruch and Seraiah an entire book of prophecies. He instructed Seraiah to read it when he got to Babylon, and remember that the LORD foretold these desolations. Jeremiah told him to throw the book into the river to symbolize the disappearance of Babylon.

Jeremiah 51:63-64 - "When thou hast made an end of reading this book, that thou shalt bind a stone to it, and cast it into the midst of Euphrates: And thou shalt say, Thus shall Babylon sink, and shall not rise from the evil that I will bring upon her."

PRINCIPLES - "Prophecies Really Do Come True"

Jeremiah recounted the fall of Jerusalem and the end of the kingdom of Israel. King Jehoichin was taken to Babylon in the first stage of Nebuchadnezzar's siege. Zedekiah, the last king, was evil, and rebelled against Babylon. Nebuchadnezzar seized Jerusalem, slew its leaders, burned the temple, palace and houses, broke down the walls, and carried thousands of residents to Babylon. Years later, in Babylon, Nebuchadnezzar's son, Evil-Merodach, mercifully released Jehoichin from prison.

Jeremiah 52:3 - "Through the anger of the LORD it came to pass in Jerusalem and Judah, till he had cast them out from his presence."

PROPHECIES - "Babylon Will Die Drunk!"

In Daniel 5, Belshazzar, king of Babylon, made a great feast to a thousand of his lords. He and his princes profanely drank wine in golden vessels from the temple of God at Jerusalem. Suddenly, God wrote their death sentence on the wall. Jeremiah's prophecy from years earlier was perfectly fulfilled.

Jeremiah 51:39,57 - "I will make their feasts, and I will make them drunken, that they may rejoice, and sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith the LORD. ...I will make drunk her princes, and her wise men, her captains, and her rulers, and her mighty men."

COURTSHIP AND MARRIAGE 

2. "Qualifying" Friendships.   Every person faces a vastly different challenge when it comes to forming meaningful relationships with others. Some people are extroverted, which means they are socially interactive. They are able to express themselves to others, or make conversation easily, which, over a period of time, creates a large pool of acquaintances from which friendships can be formed. As a rule, an extrovert is likely to have a larger number of prospects from which to choose a friend.
