For The Lord Is Good

Brother Khrystus and Sister Charity

For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations. (Psalm 100:5 KJV)

God is Good!

I sat for a moment today, closed my eyes and thought about the many bad things that I thought and did as a child growing up to the point where I am now. Some of them made me smile at the silly things children do and others made me seriously regret and wish I could turn back the hands of time.

Above the many childlike jokes I played, the repercussions of this particular one that I'm about to share, caused me to immediately pull up my socks and behave myself. Thank God for a mother like mine.

I wanted to be the joker around the table over a decade and half ago and so the enemy had placed in my mind a very stupid plan that I would have seen on Cartoon Network. Jerry was constantly doing it to Tom and myyyyy - would Tom Scream and Jerry always had a good laugh.

So. . . .Why not try that I thought! The big day came for the enemy to help me carry out the biggest practical joke ever to hit planet earth I thought. I put a common pin in the little grooves between one of the dining room chairs where one of my twin brothers usually sits. We were then all seated around the table to have a sumptuous soup lunch which my mom had prepared.

Quite ironically, we were all waiting on him before we could pray and then eat. As he walked towards the chair, I remained as serious and innocent as I could until he sat, got dug, screamed out loud as he quickly arose, tipped the table and spilled all of our bowls of soup on us. The bad part about it is that my parents were dressed in their working clothes and we all had on our school clothes.

I laughed while everyone was serious, so they all knew it was me. I couldn't hide. The joke went too far. What happened after, has been locked and sealed in the history books of my life, but I surely did learn my lesson.

We all do silly things and make silly blunders in life. Whenever I reflect on my past mistakes, I am always grateful that God isn't like man. Despite our errors and blunders, he always stands with his hands wide open ready to forgive if we would repent and ask. God always continues to be good and his mercy is EVERLASTING.

With a God like that ruling the earth, there is definitely HOPE  AHEAD no matter the point we are at now.

For the Lord is Good! Don't give up! Hope is definitely ahead!

Fly The Flag Of Jesus

Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place. (2 Corinthians 2:14 KJV)

Don't surrender - Don't Retreat!

He stepped into my office in shambles. I had never dealt with a 'big man' crying like a baby. Why did he come to see me I thought. Try a seasoned and mature Pastor or Counselor. I'm only 25 years. You can be my father. Maybe even my grandfather. Let me deal with the youth I said to myself. I quickly pulled myself together, patted him on the shoulder gently and said, "It's quite OK to cry, you will pass this test."

My first words of comfort calmed the tears a bit and I waited a while for him to talk. He did share much of what was on his heart and then I spoke again. I said, "Sir, in order for there to be a DIFFERENCE in your life, you need to FLY  THE  FLAG  OF  JESUS." I explained in detail what I meant.

In talking with the gentleman, it was clear to see that he had tried nearly everything and everyone in his life, but had excluded JESUS.

I ended the HOPE session by saying, "JESUS  WOULD  MAKE  THE  DIFFERENCE SIR -  HE  SURE  WOULD." He decided to give him a try there and then. I was excited within my spirit. My only wish was that our ministry would have had our Dare 2 Be Different International Mission Centre already, so he could have spent a few days there until we could help him have a change from his current environment.

This touched my spirit and injected me with a new energy to do all that I can, to get this effort and vision off the ground. I thought for a moment and remembered the words of Martin Luther King as he addressed hundreds in his I HAVE A DREAM  SPEECH. I saw what he meant when he spoke about  THE  URGENCY  OF  NOW. 

What if I can get my HOPE  IS  AHEAD readers and others to commit to sewing a $20.12 seed in 2012 towards this effort, I thought. We would have our mission centre quite quickly.

I shook my head and thought again.


This is why so many people start running the Christian race or Godly Train and stop. This is why many Try Jesus and Let Go. Simply because there is no dedicated support. Many get left behind by busy church ministers and members who are caught up in activities rather than in shepherding new converts.

I'm sure you fully understand what I mean.

Dare 2 Be Different MUST  CHANGE  THAT  - I vowed to myself. We MUST show that there is WORTH in FLYING  THE  FLAG  OF  JESUS.

Sometime after, I could see the change in the gentleman. He was really trying and succeeding bit by bit. A scripture came to me from 2 Corinthians 2:14, Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ.

In that particular passage, Paul was excited that God had been with him every step of the way as he advanced the Kingdom of God. He would have seen how the church at Corinth was FLYING THE FLAG OF JESUS and had heeded to his letters and teachings and he was sure that he can now move on to build again.

Jesus ALWAYS makes the difference in one's life. He did so in the gentleman's life. He did so in the lives of the Corinthians and he can do so in your life. Decide to follow Jesus and FLY  HIS  FLAG  BOLDLY from today.

When you do, rest assured that you will be well taken care of in good times and bad and you need not be afraid. Isaiah 41:13 says For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.

With such care in store for YOU. Don't risk it - FLY  THE  FLAG  OF  JESUS  FROM  TODAY!

Good News! Good News!

Sister Lataunje Davis

Brother Khrystus V. K. Wallace, President and Founder of Dare 2 Be Different International - www.daretobedifferentskn.com 

And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. ( Luke 2:10 KJV)

How do you react when you get good news?

We all act differently at the sound of good news. Some of us laugh or cry. Some jump up and down. Some scream. How ever we act though, that is our personal way of expressing our joy and excitement.

There is one expression of joy that has been etched in my mind. It is that of a sister in the Lord who happened to receive some good news while she was at church. This 'not too thin' lady ran up and down the isle as fast as she could screaming and praising God. She slipped on the rug and got back up again and continued running and shouting and praising God.

Her testimony after explained why she had to act that way. It was indeed testament that her deliverance MUST have been God. There is one thing that stood out as she shared. It was her faith and hope in God that pulled in her breakthrough.

Good news comes in all shapes and forms and packages. That's just how God moves at times. Good news would come from people you've never met and sometimes people you least expect.

God sent the good news of his Son's birth to the shepherds through an angel. Having received this news, they were all astonished and amazed.

This same astonishment and amazement will soon be falling on you as you keep your faith and hope high that God is going to work out EVERY matter.

Good News is heading your way! Stay Optimistic, it'll soon be knocking. Hope is definitely ahead!

What or Who God Has For You Is For You

Sister Lataunje Davis

Brother Khrystus V. K. Wallace, President and Founder of Dare 2 Be Different International

So the LORD blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses. (Job 42:12 KJV)

No matter the stress, the pain and the trials that you may go through, what or who God has for you, is for you. Nobody can change that! Nobody can stop that!

I listened quite attentively to the young lady speak. She couldn't understand why she was going through all these life trials. She was questioning where she went wrong in life. She said that she was tired of hearing that things would get better and nothing was changing. Tears actually fell from her eyes.

I let her just let it out and then I said, "What or Who God has For You is For You! You are multi-talented and when God is ready, you will shine as the STAR you were meant to be. Every dream and passion that you have that falls under God's will, WILL come to pass."

She smiled a bit. I continued, "You see, God is allowing you to go through all of this so that when he delivers and elevates you, you would have no doubt in your mind as to who was responsible for the promotion you  received. That's just what he did with JOB." She thanked me and walked away happy, smiling and re-motivated.

I was able to see this young lady several months after. She approached me with a smile that could light the world. I listened again this time. She said, "God's working it out. He hasn't finished doing it yet, but he's doing it gradually. I can begin to see that ALL  GOD  HAS  FOR  ME  IS  FOR  ME. Things are gradually changing and the blessings are beginning to trickle in." She said, "when I look back now, I see that all my trials were just a life lesson to prepare me for my promotion just as you said."

I wished her all the best and she went happily along. Another job of motivating and encouraging someone was complete.

What ever you are going through now is just a temporary test. You will not be in it forever. The test that you took in Primary or High School, are you still taking it? NO! It's finished and you've used the results that you got from that test to help you to reach where you are now - RIGHT?

It's the very same thing with Jesus. He's testing you now and the results you get on the test will cause you to move forward with a stronger, positive, optimistic mentality as you face your tomorrows. God hasn't forgotten you! He never forgot JOB!

Job went through a hard, hard time as Bible history explains. He lost everything. He was down to his lowest. The advice he got from his wife was to CURSE God and die. Imagine the frustration. Many things stand out about Job. He remained patient. He waited on God. Job never gave up though. He always held on to his God, his faith and his HOPE.

At the end of his temporary trial, he received DOUBLE. God not only delivered him, but promoted him and gave him his due share. HIS  FAIR  SHARE  FOR  ALL!

Your time is coming too. Don't give up. Keep on Trusting. Don't be jealous of anyone. You will drive that car too. You will get some land and build or buy a house too. You will be able to have a bank book with some extra on it to move through life, help yourself and others too. God wishes above all things that we would prosper and be in good health. (3 John 1:2)

Have faith. Have hope. What or who God has for you, is for you!

Much Blessings!

Stay Focused

Sister Lataunje Davis

Brother Khrystus V. K. Wallace, President and Founder of Dare 2 Be Different International

Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong. (1 Corinthians 16:13 KJV)

God knew I needed some sought of immediate encouragement this time. I wanted someone to speak some empowerment and victory words over my life and just as I wished, so it was. Thank God for the Smartphone. These were not Smartphone Broadcasts though, they were messages meant directly for me. Just for me. God allowed some individual BB contacts to be thinking about me around the same time and send me well needed words of triumph.

(Panap) My phone went off. I checked it. "JESUS  NEVER  FAILS" in big bold letters. "How did you know I needed that reminder?" I said to myself

A few minutes after, Panap, it goes off again. This time the messages says, "What ever you're going through, know that God isn't punishing you, but merely opening your hands to receive something better. The will of God will never take you where the grace of God will not protect."

I was like whoaaaaa. . . . God is up to something!

I paused and prayed and requested some other contacts to pray at the same time too. I always try to remain in a spirit of EXPECTANCY - You just never know when God is going to show up and deliver, so we have to always be ready.

I continued what I was doing and later that night, my phone goes Panap again. This time it is a lady from our sister island Nevis who had just added my Whatsapp:1-869-661-0118 earlier in the week to say how much encouragement our Hope Devotionals were to her. She said she had been trying a long time to make some sought of contact but was unsuccessful.

Little did she know that God had set that up. Less than a week after, she would be helping me TOP UP my spirit. (Yes, preachers and teachers many times need encouragement and a spiritual injection of encouragement too.")

Her message asked, "How was your day?" My response, "A bit challenging." She didn't hesitate, she let me have it. "You made it! Stay Strong! Another one is ahead!" I smiled and I told her that that was a great topic for a devotional and I added it to my Devotional Outline Journal.

She wasn't done with me yet. She continued, "I'm just heading home from prayer meeting. It's so amazing how our lives could just take some sudden turns," she said. "But you know what, it's DESTINY! We've just got to STAY  FOCUSED!"

It had all added up. God was doing things differently that night. He did the opposite. I'm usually quite occupied encouraging folks on my Smartphone many times and hearing them out as they share their struggles. He put me on pause and allowed some of my smartphone contacts to do the same to me.

After I realized that God had carried me through a TELEPHONE  HOPE  SESSION, I got aggressive with the enemy. I kept repeatedly saying, "I  WILL  MAKE  IT." I started playing my first single titled, Don't Give Up - Hope's Ahead, over and over and over again.

I was filling up my Optimistic HOPE Tank.

I then remembered the Apostle Paul's words, Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong. (1 Corinthians 16:13 KJV)

His words reminded me, and should remind us all that we should always be on the look out for the enemy's next move. He moves through co-workers, partners, friends, frenemies, church members, bosses etc. As we remain on the look out, we must aim to STAND  FAST in FAITH on God's principles.

I love the way writers used the Old English. The term "Quit You Like Men, Be Strong," suggests that we are to BE  BRAVE and COURAGEOUS all the time.

Once we develop that type of Optimistic Spirit and remain FOCUSED, we will definitely get the chance to GRASP the HOPE  that  lies  ahead.

Hope's Ahead  Indeed!

Are You Saved? Ar e you in a direct and personal relationship with GOD - not religion? Check your heart and see!!!

You Are Being Held

Trinity's Sister Traeniq and Brother Khrystus

3. Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. 4. He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. (Psalm 91:3-4 KJV)

God is Holding You!

Have you ever paused and thought about why you haven't succumbed to your situation although things are rough and tough and challenging? That's simply because YOU  ARE  BEING  HELD  BY  THE  MASTER!

A USA reader that responded to one of these devotionals just this week reminded me of this fact when he made this statement via email. "It's not so much that I am holding on, but rather that I am constantly held, by the everlasting arms."

I had to conclude how much of a truism that was.

Friend, I want you to spend the next thirty seconds thinking back on the many challenges you've faced already. 1 . . . 2. . .  .3. . .   Now that you've thought, hasn't God always delivered or provided some type of solution? Yes he has! It may not be just what we wanted and how we wanted it, but WE  WERE  HELD  BY  JESUS  and  delivered.

Do you remember when you needed a financial breakthrough? God sent it just in time - right? What makes you feel he won't do it again?

Do you remember when you were in deep distress over some sought of illness? What happened? You prayed. You asked others to pray. Today you or your loved one are much healthier.

We can go on and on. The point that I am raising here is that you are alive and making it day by day, week by week, month by month and year by year because GOD  IS  HOLDING  YOU!

When ever we don't want something precious to break, we hold it ourselves. God doesn't want anything to happen to you, so. . . HE'S  HOLDING  YOU  HIMSELF!

The Psalmist provides much comfort in Psalm 91:3-4. He says, (paraphrased) no matter what you are going through. No matter the storm or trial that you face. No matter the trap that has been set up for you by those around you - YOUR  HATERS - YOUR  ENEMIES - YOUR FRENEMIES. Fear Not! God will deliver.

Friend. . . some of the best encouragement I can give you, I'll pull from the scripture under review.  

1. God shall deliver you from all snares or plans of the enemy

2. You shall be delivered from the noisome pestilence

3. You shall be covered by his feathers, and sheltered under his wings

4. God's truth shall be your shield and buckler.

After such wonderful promises, I believe deep within my heart for sure, that I  AM  BEING  HELD. So to, are YOU!


Much Blessings! Hope is Ahead! Don't Give Up!
