A Nugget For The Clueless.. 

I know it's been a minute but I won't move to send you a WORD unless I am sure that it comes from God. I talk to a lot of youth and young adults and I like to inquire about their plans. I let them go on and tell me of their dreams to be a professional this or that. Their plans for financial freedom and wealth. Then I ask the question. "What else?" Ooh. That gets them every time. I then ask the question of "what if you don't achieve those goals, what then?" I must say that any answer they give me to anRead more

MERRY CHRISTMAS! 

Twas the month before Christmas When all through our land,
Not a Christian was praying Nor taking a stand.
Why the PC Police had taken away
The reason for Christmas - no one could say.
The children were told by their schools not to sing
About Shepherds and Wise Men and Angels and things.
It might hurt people's feelings, the teachers would say
December 25th is just a ' Holiday '.
Yet the shoppers were ready with cash, checks and credit
Pushing folks down to the floor just to get it!
CDs from Beyonce', an X BOX, an

Only God Can Judge Me 

Was just thinking… So many of us when we know that we are jacked up, like to say to those looking on, “Only God Can Judge Me!” ..... Cute statement….We tat it on our bodies… Wear it on our t-shirts.. Well, I agree with you 1000%. Only God can judge us legitimately... Now that is out there on the table, let me ask this. When HE does, what will the verdict be? Are we still hiding behind that statement? Go right ahead... Keep playin' #timewilltell #enoughofthecutelines

Don't Fall Off! 

John 14:13 says that whatsoever you ask in HIS name(Jesus), HE will do. Sounds like just say “in Jesus name” and it is a done deal. Not ! Christ has to be dominating every interest in your life daily. Be the center of who you are and what you do. If you truly abide in HIM, your desires and choices become God’s already ordained decrees. The thing is, so many fall off from wanting to truly abide in Christ. My Nugget is, DON'T FALL OFF! Want HIM and want HIM desperately.

What Is Your True Desire? 

Wow… I got into my WORD this morning and was blown away at what was revealed. I just had to share this on today. We always seem to be wanting to receive some great thing from God. Some desire status, fortune, or fame. Some seek titles from academia, politics, and social groups. ” I wanna be called doctor, The President, City Councilman, Pastor, a Delta, a Kappa, Step with the Que’s ect.. That is what I want.. That would be a milestone in my life..” I look at the one who wins the lottery. So many times theyRead more

Pushed into the right direction 

I want to touch on the subject of obedience. There have been so many times in my life in where God wanted me to go in a certain direction but because that direction wasn't appealing or was against my will, I refused to go. I didn't consider that fact of the glory that God would have been getting if I had only just done what HE said to do. All I could see was my discomfort or the unworthiness of the folks that HE was directing me to. Then God found a way to push me in the direction that HE wanted me to go.…Read more

Stand Up and Take Action 

The situation that I want to help someone put a word on is the weak man/woman complex. You have allowed yourself to be bullied by people who appear to be stronger or better positioned than you are. I got frustrated with my nephew the other week and gave him some stern words. He is a very smart kid. Makes great grades and is an exceptional athlete but he tried to use where he was from as an excuse to say that the big colleges wouldn’t give him an honest look. He totally overlooked the fact that he has beenRead more

Protecting The House From The Inside Out 

Today, my prayer is twofold. I am praying for our young folks. I was riding with my youngest a while back and really painting the picture of the enemy’s attempts to kill them off. He is getting at them at a rapid rate. Parents are sleeping on the tactics and are walking around like all is well. IT IS NOT WELL! Every week I hear of some child committing suicide because of “bullying”. Children are listening to the voices of others, telling them to kill themselves… Evil is ever present in our schools and weRead more

Don't Fall For It! 

I want to encourage someone reading this to not fall to the pressures of life. I remember when I was younger there was always something there to tempt you. It seemed if you didn't curse or smoke weed, you weren’t cool. You were a punk if you weren’t having sex at a young age. If the crew was drinking, you better do it too. So many of these tests failed all in order to fit in the world’s scheme or not be ridiculed. We often let the thought of being right in the sight of God and different than society go outRead more

You Have The Power.. Now Use Your Authority!  

I wanna give someone a nugget to shout on today! This is for the one who has the identity crisis or you have just simply forgotten.... Newsflash... Through Christ, you are a Force to be reckoned with! Fit for any fight.. And a demon killa! We have inherited the same authority and power that Jesus gave his disciples in Luke chapter 9. The WORD says that HE gave them power and authority over ALL the demons... Authority meaning the right to rule.. Just like a cop has the right to pull over a reckless driver,Read more

WHY GOD MAY HAVE SAID "NO!" 

Hey family,

Have you ever had associates who come across as being so self seeking? I have. There have been folks who I have known who aren’t genuine in their friendship. They always have a what can I get out of this attitude. I knew a pastor who stopped picking up lesser fortunate members on Sundays because he couldn’t see what they could do for him. Now that was an extreme example but we all probably know folks who smile in your face, use you for what you have or could do and if they had the chance would…Read more

What God Has 4 Me 

I am a guy who simply loves competition. Growing up, I have always loved to compete. In my house, we are all so competitive that a simple game of monopoly, could start a fight. I mean folks will lose sleep over losing.. LOL… Now let me go this way today. I have learned to not worry what people say about me or mine. I have learned to not be watching to see who is plotting or planning to set me or my folks up for failure. I was just saying to a friend that I don’t find it necessary to jump through certain…Read more

What Are You Waiting For? 

I was in the book of Revelations, chapter 3 and it made me revisit a song that I've written called "Let HIM In". It is my baby Alyche’s favorite song. This nugget is for someone who is struggling today and you are so paralyzed by your situation that you lay there hurt and lonely. Overwhelmed in your circumstances? Maybe you are the one who has not TRULY given your life to HIM. You've done what the church says do to the letter but you haven't given yourself to HIM... I have good news for both parties....…Read more

Keep it Moving 

Just was in contact with a young man that I consider family. He was hurt by a young lady. REALLY BAD. Received some crushing news that I am not at liberty to share. Just want to talk to the young men this morning. I am also sure that some young ladies can get something out of this as well. So many times you are labeled dogs and unable to truly love. I know better. I know lots of you. You aren’...t as a rare breed as some would like to say. No one is perfect.. When you come across a bad situation.. Even whenRead more

Making The Right Choices 

Today’s nugget is about making choices. My son and I have been talking a lot lately about making the right choices. What he is learning is it is not always so easy making the right choices. So many times choices are influenced by emotion.. Most of the time when we allow our emotions to guide our choices, regret is soon to follow. Someone reading this today is being faced with making a choice or certain choices. You have tried to avoid making them or have considered taking the “easy” way out, even though theRead more

Being a Rebel 

I was looking at a scripture about being rebellious. For so long folks have taken pride for being rebellious. Don’t want to respect the laws of the land and never want to follow leadership. We see this in the church as well. People don’t want to stay in line with God and HIS WORD. Folks want to criticize the choir, the Pastor, the sermon and so on. A word of advice if I could give it. Why not just go to church and enter into worship and experience worship and let the WORD of God sit in the judgment seat forRead more

Protecting the Gift till the proper date 

I am trusting that today is the day that I am supposed to send a message out to my youth. On three occasions, I came across messages in reference young people and their purity.. I often tell my young men when it comes to their girlfriends that it is illegal to drive without a proper license. Of course so many have violated that law but there are some out there. One of my people had a song that she entitled, “No free samples.” Still so many disregarded the message. I talk to girls who go to college and comeRead more
