Your Own Greatness

Your Own Greatness. Jesus said in Matthew 23:11 (KJV), “But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant." Let him be your slave. So why did God say more to the slave than He did to the master in Colossians 3 and 4? Because the greatest one was not the master. The greatest one was the slave. The problem with black people is they don't know their own greatness in God. Scriptures: Colossians 3:25, 4:1. 1 Corinthians 1:26 KJV. John 5:44. Matthew 10:39.

God Can Create a World Like Me

God Can Create a World Like Me. Many Black people I know have wrong attitudes toward Whites that are the exact opposite of Scripture. They claim to be Christians, but even though you say you serve the Lord Christ, if you carry negative attitudes toward people of another race, it will cost you with God.
God won't excuse your bad attitudes toward another race based on bad experiences or bad things you have heard about them. God has “no partiality” toward people. As the King James translation says, there is "no respect of persons." Be like God toward everybody. No excuses.
Deal with this. In Colossians 3, God didn’t tell slaves to run away. Instead, He adjusted their attitudes toward their masters. In fact, in Colossians 3 and 4 there are four times more warnings about behavior given to slaves than to slave masters. This is radical stuff.
Colossians 3:22-23 (NLT) says. “Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything you do. Try to please them all the time, not just when they are watching you. Serve them sincerely because of your reverent fear of the Lord. Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people.”
Compare that long list of warnings he gives to slaves to the one correction he gives to slave masters in Colossians 4:1 (NLT). “Masters, be just and fair to your slaves. Remember that you also have a Master—in heaven."
God evaluates slaves and masters and Blacks and Whites the same way. He watches their attitudes and examines their lives to see if they have the same eternal perspective that He does. His standard is Christlikeness, regardless of our circumstances. He is building an army of righteous people in thought, word, and deed.
God wants you to focus on His way, not your way. He wants to be able to create another world just like you. Say this, “God can create a world like me.”

Why Did God Allow It? Understanding antisemitism, slavery, and troubled marriages

Why Did God Allow it? Understanding antisemitism, slavery, and troubled marriages.
It’s not what you're going through, but how you’re going through it.
The past year in the United States has seen a sharp rise in antisemitism on college campuses. Throughout their history, Jews have suffered persecution. God has always been watching how they respond. In Exodus 23:21, God set broad boundaries for Israel far greater than “From the River to the Sea” that is the battle-cry of their enemies today. The Jews have fought many wars to keep far less land than God gave them originally. When you don't understand with your mind, remember that understanding comes from the heart.
Blacks are still mad at white people and their racial tendencies. When they fuss about Whites, I tell them, “You'll have to fuss at God first.” Why? Because God talks favorably about slavery. Abraham was a patriarch, yet he had slaves. How could God allow that? God didn’t make anybody slaves, except slaves of God, but He allowed it. In Colossians 3, he doesn't tell slave masters to free their slaves. He tells slaves how to treat their masters.
God considers something that is way more important than your conditions. It’s your behavior in the conditions. Your response is more important to God than your circumstances. He could fix slavery in a fiat, but He wants to fix you.
A husband could respond angrily when a wife does the Sistah thing to show her disrespect, but God wants him to respond with love and humility. That takes Christlike character. I learned to humble myself when my wife was not happy with me. No one in my background taught me that. I had to see the principles in Scripture and learn to live them out.
When you go to God and ask, “Why did you allow it?” open your heart. Ask Him to show you His answers in the Word. That will take you to another world. Relationships look a lot different from the view of eternity.

God Has a Process to Prepare You for Battle

God Has a Process to Prepare You for Battle
You can only take the ground you're prepared for in God. Adam broke the power of creative order that God placed in him when he fell in sin. Jesus broke the power of generational sin that began with Adam. Now we can be born again and we have the potential to overcome and defeat the devil. But we have to train for it.
Your daily persistence to yield yourself to God allows him to prepare you for battles ahead. Your ability to take ground depends on your spiritual preparation in alignment with the principles of Scripture.
God knows you can’t handle everything at first, as a young Christian. In Exodus 23:30, God had to deliver the land to the people of Israel gradually because they needed to grow up in God first. God equips us for the battles ahead by preparing our hearts and minds.
The Pharisees and the disciples in Mark 4 wanted Jesus to allow divorce because Moses did, but He took them back to creation. “In the beginning, it was not so.”
The Bible allows divorce in cases of adultery. A woman does not have to stay if she is being abused, but that does not include disliking him or not getting enough money. She can also abuse her husband with her mouth. Both are accountable to God.
Just as Israel couldn't possess the land overnight, we have to cultivate faith, character, and spiritual strength and sensitivity before we can handle responsibilities. Wait for God. He works according to His own timing. Allow Him to transform you from within. Make the right decisions when you face temptations. Little by little He will allow you to take ground as He sees that you have prepared your heart and entrusted the process to Him.

I Need Thee

I Need Thee. You have to learn how to gather as saints, but you also have to learn how to gather with the heavenly hosts, and in times of prayer you have to know that when you pray, you're not actually alone. There is a great company with you and they want you to pray accurately. They want you to pray accurately not only the word of God, but the vital word of God. That has to do with sensitivity. You are ordained to know that your Father has never left you. He will not forsake you. But you have to cultivate that reality of that. During this leaders' meeting at Advance Church in Washington, DC, everyone sang together the hymn "I Need Thee."Thanks to Carrington Adkins for capturing this message at Advance Church's Leadership Meeting in Bishop Bruce Clark's office.

Favor of God to Do Ministry

Favor of God to Do Ministry. The Bible says that He who knew no sin was made sin for you, that you might become the righteousness of God in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:21). That's talking about you. Many people have never received the redemptive work of Jesus Christ, and they're living in sin. Others are saved from hell, but they still live like the devil. You can look at some people who say they are Christian and define themselves that way, but they still live where sin abounds.
The Bible says that where sin abounds, grace even more abounds (Romans 5:20). Grace must abound in you! You are not bound by anything when God's grace is on you. Say, “Favor! Favor! I’ve got favor all over me, in the name of the Lord, I have favor with God. I have favor with men.”
You don’t live with fatalism. You live with favor. Good things are about to happen to you. You are not ordained to be bound to anybody but God. Your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost. When you get free, all the promises of God are Yea and Amen for you. Go to a nation this year!

Stop Being Soft

Stop Being Soft. The gifts of God are ready to operate, but you’re soft. You can't pray every now and then and get all-night results. Your life is supposed to be successful in every area. Why should you ask God for something little when your God is indefinably big? The Bible says, “And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us” (1 John 5:14 KJV.
Adam’s failure became mankind's failure. That's the great shame. Adam’s success would have been mankind's success. That's what Romans 5 says about Jesus. One man failed God. Another man succeeded with God. If being born naturally is being born into failure, what about being born again spiritually? You're born into success and then you move from success to significance.
This message was recorded for the men's ministry at Hope Christian Church in Beltsville, Maryland, which is celebrating its 46th anniversary. The late Bishop Harry Jackson was a much-loved bishop in the Fellowship of International Churches. His daughter Michele Jackson has succeeded him as pastor. We send our congratulations!

Both Worlds Are for You

Both Worlds Are for You.
You are wonderfully and sovereignly made by God (Psalm 139), both spiritually and naturally. The physical body you inhabit was crafted by His divine will, just as your spiritual self was brought into being by His spoken word. From the very beginning, God purposefully created mankind with a mission—to be fruitful, multiply, and have dominion over the Earth (Genesis 1:28). Each one of us is here because God intended it; He doesn't create without purpose.
Through Jesus Christ, called the "last Adam" (1 Corinthians 15:45), God created a way for mankind to join His family once more. Where God gave the first Adam physical life (Genesis 2:7), Christ brings spiritual renewal and connection through the Word and the Holy Spirit. It is by hearing and believing the Word of God, spoken into our hearts, that we are born again and eternal living begins. We become aligned with His divine plan for our lives on earth as it will be in heaven.
Your existence is no accident. You are here because God has ordained a purpose for you, and His will must be accomplished before you leave this world. Trust in God's provision, as He equips you spiritually, financially, and relationally to achieve His covenant on Earth. Align yourself with Him through prayer, scripture, and an unwavering commitment to His calling. Remember, the devil may be the source of all evil, but God is the source of all solutions.
Today, reflect on your role as part of God’s greater purpose. Submit yourself and your wealth to His plan with faith, knowing He has provided resources, wisdom, and grace to go beyond your current circumstances. Both your spiritual and natural existence are designed for stewardship and to bring glory to Him. Take heart and walk boldly in the knowledge that you are ordained by God to fulfill His mission.
