My dear children of God,
Greetings to you in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I thank the God of Abraham for keeping you well for the first four months of 2013. Let us enter May with great faith in Jesus which will lead to a victorious life. As spring begins, may the Lord bring true spring, hope, peace and joy to your life, family, ministry, business and work. God always makes the rules for receiving His blessings for as Jesus said, "But seek first His kingdom and righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." (Mathew 6:33)
One of the greatest stories in the Bible is found in 2 Chronicles 1:7-12 when the God of Abraham appeared to King Solomon and said to "ask for whatever you want me to give to you." Solomon did not ask for wealth, riches, honor, power or long life. He asked God to give him "wisdom and knowledge" so he could "lead" God's people. This story illustrates the concept of seeking God's kingdom and righteousness first. As a result, God gave Solomon wisdom, but wealth, riches, honor and many other blessings as well. No king before or after Solomon received greater blessings than him.
My dear children, do you want to receive blessings from God? The only way to do this is to seek the kingdom and righteousness of God FIRST. I have served my God for more than 35 years and my prayer is always simple….."Lord, let Your will be done and please speak to Your children so that they will do as YOU direct." This is my simple prayer for myself and for you. In my 35 years of ministry, I have never lacked for anything. God supplies ALL my needs."
If you know the truth, the truth will set you free…the truth is to seek God's kingdom FIRST, not last. Many Christians want to seek all their desired blessings first and if they have time, seek the Kingdom of God. This is the main reason God is unable to work in their lives…why they feel their prayers are not answered. Their hearts are not on the Kingdom of God FIRST, but rather on their own desires. I have never asked God for healing, power or wealth, but have asked only that the Lord lead me to do what He wants me to do in my ministry, yet I have all the blessings I could ever desire…family, successful ministry and the ability to be a blessing in many nations.
Finally, my dear children, may the Lord Jesus Christ fill your hearts to seek the kingdom of God FIRST, not last!

"Remember Me God"
Dear Children of God,
Greetings to you in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I have been asking God what to say in the September newsletter to you. This is what the Lord said: "Ask them to love the Lord their God with all their heart, with all their soul and with all their mind and with all their strength…and ask them to love their neighbor as they love themselves, so that I will remember them and their generation when I destroy this world."
Today, we are living in the time of Noah, maybe even a WORSE time! In the time of Noah, God was grieved by man's behavior and considered destroying them all; BUT He remembered Noah. One man and his family were obedient. Noah did everything just as God commanded even though others around him did not. What made this one man obey God? Noah loved God above ALL ELSE!
What about you? Do you love God and His children more than you love yourself? Do you obey God no matter what? Before the End of Days, you must decide if you want God to "remember" you and your family as He remembered Noah and his family. There is not much time. Can you love God above all else? Can you love His children more than you love yourself?
God remembered Abraham and his family before destroying Sodom and Gomorrah because Abraham loved God alone more than anything else, even his own son, Isaac. Do you love God more than your own children? If so, show it in your actions, not in only telling the stories from the Bible.
God remembered the Israelite people who lived as slaves in Egypt for 430 years. They continued to love God during difficult times and God finally sent Moses to set them free.
God remembered Ruth because she chose Naomi's God and her people and land over everything else. God blessed Ruth's life making her the grandmother of Jesus. What a wonderful blessing Ruth received! Do you want great blessing? Come and love God and His children.
God remembered the shepherd boy, David, because David loved God above all else. Even today, there is no record of any kind in history loving God more than he did. God remembers David and his generation. Do you want to be remembered by the God of Israel? Love God above all else and love His children more than you love yourself. If you do, God WILL remember you and your generation until the End of Days.
I pray and wish, by the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that the God of Israel will remember you and your children! Amen. Thank you so much for remembering Shekinah Ministry and its needs. You are welcome to contact me by email or telephone and are in my daily prayers.
God Bless You.
