MY PEARL OF WISDOM FOR TODAY!

YOU ARE A  RARE PEARL!!

THERE IS NO OTHER LIKE YOU!!

Ladies, who you are is a Precious Pearl: If you give yourself to one man you will end up giving yourself to many because, a man will not value you until you put the Brakes on!
Make him see who you are; Make him get to know YOU; Make him understand there is a standard that comes with you the nature of a man is to seek you out. The pattern of a man is to Hunt the bible tells you that:

Proverbs 18:22 Whosoever findeth a wife findeth a good thing and obtaineth the favor of the Lord.
When a Hunter, goes out and hunts the deer, rabbit, etc., they do not stand there and be captured NO if they want it they must work for it! STOP making yourself easy for these men; some of you not leaving them anything to respect and they will trample over you when  they are done only to move to the next one. 

YOU want a Good Man? 

Show him your Worth, not your Business!!

IF and When you come across that one that will not pursue you guess what, HE AIN'T THE ONE!! but, that means there is still someone out there that is. There is a lot of benefit to lifting up a standard. IT Allows you to see who they are as well( Their true colors). If You have ever met someone and said, if I had it to do over again, I would not. Guess who's fault that was? So, now that you have it to do over again do it the right way this time. Isn't is something, that the Bible says, do not give what is Holy to dogs. (What do we call them when they break our little hearts, (Dogs) Ding, Ding, Ding 
All men are Not dogs, a person is only going to do what you allow.

Know your Worth, it will save you A lot of Drama!

Church Hopper #3: THE DOUBLE-MINDED MAN

A Double-Minded man is someone who suffers from Divided Loyalties, not only does this person have no stability is his life but, none in his Spiritual walk. They are Unstable. James 1:8

On one hand, he/she wishes to maintain a religious confession and desires the presence of God in his/her life; On the other hand, he/she misses the ways of the world is still conformed to it and desires, prefers and salivates for its ethics and standards.

Due to the instability of this this person, making excuses is likely to become a regular practice different from the Church Hopper 2: Playing Church; this persons hopping starts in his/her mind While those that play church make excuses for their lack of performance in the church.

Church hopper #3 Takes calculated thought into finding an reason or making an excuse to leave the church his/her plan to leave the church has always been premeditated. The excuses are part of him/her needing validation from others to do it and will likely, drag around until they get it.

WHAT ARE YOU SEARCHING FOR CHURCH HOPPER??

If this person does not find validation from the current church then, now they need to find their reason;  because now it is affecting their performance and they have become highly sensitive and cannot stand correction and now they have found an excuse to bolt.

Remember* This person is unstable and did not get validation and Now that they are gone he/she is unsure that they made the right decision.

 When you do not take responsibility for your actions and mistakes. Not getting what you want at one church so now you want to go get Validated somewhere else; not only that but will also seek out a man/woman of God to justify your departure; to contradict the word spoken from the church you left. Did you leave decent and in order? You left a church with a seat in the front to seek validation in a church from the back pew.

HOW MANY DOORS WILL YOU WALK THROUGH??

GOD's eye are in every place Church Hopper; it doesn't matter what church you go to. God's word does not change. "You can run, but you can't hide." If you were wrong there, Guess what? You're still wrong! If you have a calling on your life: Guess what? You still have a calling on your life, Jonah. If it's right, it's still right.  if they are a true anointed man or woman of God, then the same Truth, the same Correction will be spoken in your life.

God's word is built on a sure foundation.

YOU CANNOT CHANGE THE WORD, TO FIT YOUR FLESH!!

Because the church did not validate you, now you have made you way back into the world and, Guess What? They will validate you because

John 15:19 (AMP) If you belonged to the world, the world would love [you as] its own and would treat you with affection. But you are not of the world [you no longer belong to it], but I have chosen you out of the world. And because of this the world hates you.

"Are you Giving GOD *your BEST or asking him to Settle for Mediocre?"

ARE YOU GIVING GOD YOUR BEST?

First, let's make sure we have an understanding; as to what our best is and in what and where; do we present our best. What does your Best mean? it means, Surpassing all others in Excellence, Achievement or Quality.

This means our best in our:

Service - being a servant (good steward)

Contribution - in giving Performance - using what you have (your gifts/talents) Representation - how you represent Christ (your attitude, your dress, etc.,)

Colossians 3:22-24 22 Servants, in everything obey those who are your masters on earth, not only with external service, as those who merely please people, but with sincerity of heart because of your fear of the Lord. 23 Whatever you do [whatever your task may be], work from the soul [that is, put in your very best effort], as [something done] for the Lord and not for men, 24 knowing [with all certainty] that it is from the Lord [not from men] that you will receive the inheritance which is your [greatest] reward. It is the Lord Christ whom you [actually] serve. HOW DO WE KNOW THE DIFFERENCE? It is as simple as this. Have you ever walked into a store, restaurant, theater and come in contact with someone who made you say to yourself he/she must not like their job or came out and asked them, “Are you having a bad day?” Well I have and simply because they didn’t smile, or was rude and because, I know what good service feels like. IT ISN'T OKAY! Some try to get by on the Mediocre, on the Satisfactory some have become Convenient Christians, thinking they are getting by on what is Convenient to them and think this will be acceptable to God. Who is all knowing. Do not boast about anything you do for God, if you are not doing Everything, you can for God. Whatever you - do it wholeheartedly Col 3:23; Eph 6:7. WHEN YOUR HEART IS IN IT AND WHEN IT ISN'T

One of many things, i have learned in this life and by my own experience is that: No matter what you do in school, at home, at church, at work, or in your relationships. Is If your heart isn’t in it, your performance (your effort) will be all lack luster (the bible says, the Salt has lost its savor) I Love working, in the medical field, I have a passion for people and it showed, my uniforms were always clean, I would iron and starch them 2 weeks worth, i was always on time, always present, i would go above beyond when I could, i would study and seek different ways to be an asset, even when i complained, I did not let it change my performance and i didn’t do it for recognition I did it because I love what i do. WHEN CIRCUMSTANCES OR PEOPLE CAUSE YOUR FEELINGS TO CHANGE

There are times, when the dynamics of the relationship change. it is part of life, but no excuse to stop or take it out on those you are serving. Things happen people disappoint (GOD remains Faithful) Remember, how you feel when you are in a new relationship you are excited, women can attest to this. You are always, smiling, cooking, doing romantic things, your significant other doesn’t have to ask you to do anything because, you are on it but; when the dynamic changes ( he forgets to call, comes home to late, doesn’t help with responsibilities, doesn’t keep a job, etc.,) the momentum decreases, then you begin to become less concerned and stop making an effort all together. (You must Forgive and Stay Saved).

This how some of us are in our relationship with God and in the church. The members lose momentum and zeal then, our pastors end up preaching to a bunch of dry stagnated - bones. when you are recruited, to work in church be honest if that is not something, you want to do then do something, you know you will put your heart into.Too many, right there in the body of Christ are trying to get the Full-Time benefits of part-time work or no work at all but preferring to warm the pew. Guess what, lay member you are still commissioned to bear fruit. We all will be judged according to our work.

"ATTENTION, QUEENS!!"

ELEVATE YOUR INTELLECT TO MATCH YOUR BEAUTY!! We are Queens, Empresses and Princess'

Read Proverbs 31:10-31
A Woman is the earth, she feeds and nurtures the Man and her Children, she is the most valuable resource the Man has ever had. She is so gorgeous to the eye yet, so strong and self - determined, she is the driving force behind the man, the child and the home.Seeing/Watching a positive woman gives a man a good perception of the how he desires his wife to be. For every strong man there is a strong woman ever present. "If you teach a man you only teach one but if you teach a woman you teach a generation."
A WOMAN OF GOD IS PRICELESS

Young Sistah's, be enlightened about the Strong Women before us who paved the way; who did not have low self-esteem nor paraded around in a manner to gain the attention of men (Know that you are also, attracting disrespect into your personal space.)Right now you are only a diamond in the rough "You are beautiful in your own right' We have such a responsibility and play such a vital role in the upbringing of our future "Queens" and to Brotha's our future "Kings". The majority of are queens are taking on even more responsibility when the "King" is not in the picture. I would suggest that our men be more supportive in that aspect. A great deal of our Sistah's are misguided by false perceptions and so are not wearing their crowns properly. The Cinderella Syndrome it's when a woman believes the Mr. Perfect will come into their lives sweep them off their feet and they won't have to work and be independent they think their only responsibility will consist of looking pretty and catering sexually to a man's sexual desires. I call it the Baller Syndrome:
IF YOU DO NOT KNOW YOUR WORTH, NEITHER WILL HE!!

My Brotha's this particular type is falling for the idea of you and not for the things that matter and a lot of you are passing up Quality for Quantity. Can you put a price on morals and self-respect? Noooo! Remember, names have Power. One of the reasons some men call us out of our name dis-respectfully is because the image we project Of, course it is not okay to be called out of our name but, the provocative clothing, the way you carry yourself attributes to the type of man/people you will attract. " It's not what you are called but, what you answer to." A woman who has wisdom; is the ultimate gift from GOD so elevate your intellect to match your beauty. #SistahSarah
