Yes Please

When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole? ( John 5:6 KJV)

Just Tell Jesus YES!

Over the years of our existence, dozens of children and youth have grown to love being around our Dare 2 Be Different Team members, training sessions and activities. Many parents release their youth into our hands because they are sure they are well cared for, encouraged, guided aright and constantly motivated.

Quite recently, a little chap who was around one of our activities came up to me and whispered, "Do you have anything to eat because I didn't eat anything before I came here." I quickly rose from my computer, washed my hands and started preparing a burger for him. I asked, would you like lettuce and all the works on your burger, his response was - YES  PLEASE.

I was not only amazed by his manners, but his response got me thinking.

Jesus cares very much about our well being. That's why he came to earth. He really wants to bless, heal, forgive and restore broken situations. He wants all of us to be REAL with him and stop being HYPOCRITES. It is only there and then we will begin receive or breakthroughs, deliverances and obtain PEACE and SUCCESS. When we review many of the accounts of his work on earth when he came down, we see that Jesus mission was to CARE and to offer HOPE to all.

The Bible says in Mark 2:17 KJV . . . They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

Jesus saw the impotent man in John 5:6 in his situation and immediately knew that he was like that for a long time. He asks him a simple question. Wilt thou be made whole?

Even though the man explained his situation in much words to the master, I believe he simply wanted to say  YES  PLEASE.


Jesus stands at your door now and knocks. He says to you, calling you by name,

Do you need healing? Do you need salvation? Do you need restoration? Do you need a blessing? Do you need a financial breakthrough? Do you need to stop living a lie?


Friend - all you have to say to him in response and in FAITH with much HOPE is YES  PLEASE and you will have it.


Keep your Faith and Hope HIGH. Your answer is coming very, very soon!

You Are GOOD At Something!

Then he which had received the ONE talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed: (Matthew 25:24 KJV)

You are talented too!

If I had enough funds to start building the Dare 2 Be Different International Mission Centre today, I'll restructure my entire life and activities and get to work. Our young people definitely need to be encouraged and motivated.

A Dare 2 Be Different Impact Session yesterday with a primary student almost brought tears to my eyes. I then remembered that counselors aren't to cry - they are to remain down-to-earth, listen and help. The child spoke and spoke and spoke. Telling of good times and bad. Wishes and Regrets. As they ended their talk, they said, "I'm not good at anything."

That statement killed my energy instantly, even though I needed it to encourage. With a Smile on my face outside, but burning deeply within, I pondered. What should I say? The appropriate God-sent words then came to mind. YOU  ARE  GOOD  AT  SOMETHING  and we'll find it out!

You see across the world today, we have many youth who are not positive and HOPEFUL about themselves and about their future and talents. These youth grow into adults with that same mentality and the cycle continues from generation to generation.

Why do you think that employers have so many naysayers and doubtful, unmotivated people just looking to make a dollar to pay their next bill or buy something for self gratification and then do it again next week or month? (Forgive my long sentence. It was intended.)

Why do you think churches and extracurricular groups have so many non active bench warmers and a few people doing the hard work? It's simply because many times, those that don't want to do anything aren't confident enough that they can do it.

Many persons have grown a doubtful mentality over the years. It's very hard to change that among seasoned adults, but we can start with our youth.

Let's start breaking that culture of "I'm not good at anything," and build a culture of 'I  CAN  DO  IT." as Paul recommends in  Philippians 4:13.  I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

YES  WE  CAN!

In the passage under review today, it is evident that God never excluded anybody from receiving at least ONE talent. It is up to us to turn over our TALENT or TALENTS and yield results, or put them up like the person in Mathew 25:24.

The point is though - You are Good at Something! Sit, relax, think and ask yourself this question. "What do I like to do? What am I good at?

When you find the answer. . . shout and bless God to the top of your voice and say. . . .I'm Really Good at Something and I'm going to put my talent to work from today.

One day when God allows my vision of an International Mission Centre that will impact dozens of YOUTH and others to come to pass, I believe in faith, that we will begin to see our Caribbean and Worldwide societies yield more positive, optimistic people that use what they're GOOD at doing to make a big impact individually and collectively.

Until then. . . let's stay HOPEFUL and do our little bit to make the biggest impact we can, with the limited resources we have. There is certainly nothing too hard for God to bring to pass.

You Were Built To Succeed

Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. (3 John 1:2 KJV)

You were built to succeed!

When God took time out of his schedule to hand craft you into the beautiful princess or handsome prince that you are now, he added a special touch of SUCCESS to the 'clay-mix.' He knew that your hair would be brown or black or blond. He knew that you would always have a great smile. He knew that your humble personality would take you places. He knew it.

You were never RUSHED OFF during the making process. God took his time with you. I like how the Psalmist puts it in Psalm 139:14, I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

What does that verse mean? Each of us was uniquely created - Full Stop.

Don't let anyone speak down to you or tell you otherwise. When they do, simply smile and remark - "I'm God's Gem - He Took His Time on Me!"

Many of the children and youth to whom I minister always tease me and try to touch the little patch in the middle of my head that would probably soon go bald. They laugh and say - Brother Khrystus, you need BOSLEY. I would respond in return with a smile and say - It's one thing I know for sure though, is that I'm fearfully and wonderfully made.

I always try to show them by example that no matter what anyone says about them, they should still remain confident and aim for SUCCESS.

I believe that John, in writing in 3 John 1: 2, wanted to convey two messages to those around.

1. They should aim to PROSPER in both their SPIRITUAL and PHYSICAL LIFE

2. They should aim to always keep their SPIRITUAL and PHYSICAL LIFE  HEALTHY.

You see, John knew for sure that God has implanted in each one of us, unique talents and gifts for us to use and succeed in life. Some of us use them and gradually climb the ladder to success, while others sit on them and remain in one spot all their life!

God wants the best for you. He wants you to succeed. He actually gave you the tools to do just that? Are they packed up on the shelf or are you using them.

We all may not travel far and wide to attend university. We certainly aren't all inventors and business owners. Everyone won't be a doctor or lawyer. Everyone won't sing in the choir. We all can't bake nice bread like my mother (smile). We all aren't salespersons. But. . . each of us is uniquely gifted with a talent that can help us SUCCEED.

May we together remain HOPEFUL that one day soon - we'll bask in the sunset of success and praise God for guiding us there!

HOPE  IS  AHEAD!

Don't Let People Upset You

Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: (Ephesians 4:26 KJV)

People are bound to upset you.

This is a fact that has been evident since the very first family was placed on earth. Cain was upset with Abel because God accepted Abel's offering and rejected his. Joseph's brother's were upset with Joseph simply because he was a dreamer, very optimistic and HOPEFUL.

Things haven't changed much since then. People will get upset with you no matter what you do. Good or Bad. Strangely enough that's life!

There is one piece of advice I want to share. Don't take on people like that. Don't let anyone upset you. When they get you a bit angry, stay calm, act professional and talk with Jesus instead of to them. I believe one of the reasons we probably have such a high rate of persons suffering from high blood pressure and stress, is simply because we let people upset us and cause us pain too easily.

In reading through many of the accounts in the Bible, we can learn many lessons from Jesus' responses. Many times when he was challenged and accused, he didn't say a thing. Even when he was on trial just before he was to lay down his life for our sins, he didn't say anything.

Isaiah 53:7  He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.

When ever people try to upset you and you get a bit angry, simply take a cool walk away from the situation and talk with Jesus as you go. This isn't being coward. It's being wise. Sometimes, even when you are in the right, simply say you're sorry and move on. There is nothing wrong with that too.

I'm so sorry. . . .Look how easy that is to say. Friend, if any of my actions in the past or in the future have upset you or will upset, let me use this forum now to publicly say - I  AM  SORRY!

If we let every situation upset us and get us angry, we'll have NO  TIME  to keep our eyes on pursuing our dreams and staying HOPEFUL. That's a trick of the enemy! Don't let him succeed and Don't let people upset you!

Deal? - Deal!

Your Future Is What You Make It

I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. ( Psalm 121:1 KJV)

You determine your destiny!

I always like to be around POSITIVE  HOPEFUL  PEOPLE. They help to add fuel to all my hopes and dreams as I listen to them. When they talk, they inspire me to keep on pushing and never give up. I had the privilege to dialogue with an owner of a successful business a few weeks back. He gave me some words of advice that were of much encouragement. He said as he smiled, "Boy, you just have to keep pushing. Your future is what you make it."

He recounted about having entered the world of business as a teenager. He said at around age 20 - 21, he had it all. His own car, house, money, EVERYTHING. Then - by age 25 - 26, he lost it all!

The business owner went on to state that he had to go to live and work on a construction site for some two years to regain himself. During that time, he reflected on his past decisions and mistakes and he took a leap at business again. He was determined to NEVER  GIVE  UP and have a Successful Future.

Today, this businessman operates a successful business, with several branches around the world and he owes it all to God's constant help, as many times, he couldn't see his way, but Jehovah Jireh always delivered.

Despite the trials that you face now, you can decide to be happy or sad. You can decide to still go after your dreams or remain bottled up in your little corner. Your future is what YOU make it.

May I encourage you to learn to FULLY  DEPEND  on Jesus all the time. The Psalmist admonishes us to always ensure that we always look unto GOD who can help. This distinguishes the true believer and hopeful person from all others.

God is just waiting for you to cry out and mean it from the bottom of your heart and he will help. Don't get down. Rise up and build for your future. You can do it with God's Help.

Your Future is What You Make It! May God's hand rest over ALL your dreams and ambitions once they fall under his will and may they ALL come to pass and bring you success!

Stay HOPEFUL!

It's Never Too Late To Rise Again - Encourage Yourself!

Then asked they him, What man is that which said unto thee, Take up thy bed, and walk? (John 5:12 KJV)

You can rise again!

We live in a very strange world at times. When ever one makes a mistake, whether marital, financial, job wise or what ever it is, society expects you to stay down. People actually help with the process too. They bad talk you and criticize you morning, noon and night.

They literally make it their business to TRY and keep you down. Why do you think most prisoners seldom fall back into the main stream of society? Why do you think many simply keep returning to prison? It's simply because every time people see them, they say, "that person went to prison." Thus, they seldom get employment anywhere because of their record, so they feel more comfortable behind bars.

This isn't what I've heard people say, several young men to whom I've spoken, have told me this.

There is oft times no room for forgiveness and rehabilitation. That really shouldn't be so though. It's NEVER too late to RISE  AGAIN after a temporary fall. You must learn to stay positive, optimistic and HOPEFUL.

The crowd around the Pool of Bethesda was shocked that Jesus had restored someone to perfect health and allowed him to walk again. I believe the onlookers always expected the man to remain in his impotent situation. This is why they started questioning Jesus' actions on the Sabbath. So, hundreds of years ago, there were negative people. Things haven't changed much.

Hundreds of years ago there were people who had to rise above the negativity. What makes you feel that you can't rise too?

Friend, Jesus can show up anytime, anywhere and deliver anyhow he wants. With him on your side, It is NEVER too late to RISE AGAIN!

Jesus can allow you to RISE above the dirty names people call you and the dirty things they say about you. Jesus can allow you to RISE from your state of depression. Jesus can allow you to RISE from your past mistakes and STILL  SUCCEED!

You see friend, it's usually those persons who set in their mind to trust JESUS come what may, always have some type of difficulty in their life. This is usually the TESTING and PREPARATION STAGE for the TRIUMPHANT  and  SUCCESSFUL  LIFE  to come.

You will have such an AMAZING  TESTIMONY that it will impact people when ever you speak!

Smile - You have reason to smile! Your Time is Coming!

What happened after Joseph's time in prison? - He became Chief Ruler! He Became Successful!

What happened after Daniel ROSE from the Lion's Den? - He became Chief Ruler too and also Successful!

What happened after JOB passed his TEST? - He received a Double Portion Blessing!

Your time is coming friend! Very Very Soon! Your Enemies, Frenemies, Badmouthers and Naysayers will stand amazed that YOU  WOULD  HAVE  ROSE! Remember, it's not how man sees it, but it's how GOD sees it! God sees you as VICTORIOUS  EVERY TIME  once your trust is in him.

Mark my words today. Like Joseph's brothers, those who had all the bad to say to you and about you, they or their children or someone from their generation WILL come to YOU for help shortly after your situation changes. They will TRY everything to avoid coming, but will still end up asking for your help.

Don't give them the treatment they gave to you - Heap the coals of fire upon their head as Romans 12:20 says - Do Good Still!

It's Never Too Late to Rise Again - Just Encourage Yourself, Stay HOPEFUL, The Sun Will Soon Shine Again For You!

Oh Yes He Cares

Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved. (Psalm 55:22 KJV)

Jesus Does Care!

Among the many hymns we sang at church as a young boy growing up, there is one that particularly comforted me and made me sing even louder. I was happy that the hymn writer, Frank E. Graeff, carefully included this chorus when he penned this hymn in 1901.

Oh yes, He cares, I know He cares,
His heart is touched with my grief;
When the days are weary, the long nights dreary,
I know my Savior cares.

According to www.cyberhymnal.org, The per­i­od be­fore writ­ing this song was one of great de­spond­en­cy, doubt and phys­ic­al pain.(for Mr. Graeff). When he turned to God’s Word, 1 Peter 5:7 gave won­der­ful com­fort: “He cares for you.” Af­ter med­i­ta­ting on that truth, Graeff wrote these lyri­cs, with the re­sound­ing af­firm­a­tion in the cho­rus, “O yes, He cares…”

It was quite exciting to learn during my research for this devotional, that even way back in the early 1900s, people learned to LEAN  ON  GOD  FOR  COMFORT. I believe Graeff realized that no one else could have brought help and comfort but Jesus himself as he went through his trying time.

In doing more research, I learned that all of Mr. Frank E. Graeff's life wasn't spent going through trials. As he triumphed throughout life, always depending on Jesus' CARE, he was a successful pastor and a writer who penned over 200 hymns and a novel. He lived a bright happy life and was known as the "SUNSHINE  MINISTER" for his OPTIMISTIC  ATTITUDE.
 
You too can and will overcome once you STAY  HOPEFUL and depend on Jesus'  CARE. Others have passed this same way before and made it safely through with God's CARE. You can too. It is comforting to know that God encourages us ALL, to cast our burdens upon him and he will take care. He will sustain. God goes on and says, once we live righteous lives, we SHALL  NOT  BE  MOVED.

Don't worry about the fact that no one else seems to care. JESUS  CARES.

OH  YES  HE  CARES!
