Saints, Faith is acting like a thing is so, even when it’s not so, in order that it may become so! If you feed your faith your fears will fade. To “think BIG”…Think GOD! ~M. Ford

Father, comfort your child who’s heart may be hurting during this holiday season. Let them feel your warm embrace and give them your peace that pass all understanding. Those who are sick, let them feel your healing touch; and those with heavy hearts, give them your joy unspeakable. For you alone, oh Lord, can satisfy all our needs because you are the source of all things good! There is none holy like you Lord and beside you there is none other!

“THE GIFT”

Published on by Duty to Delight Ministries1 Comment

Saints, GOD has given you TODAY, not tomorrow. So, unwrap the gift of TODAY wisely, for you shall never pass this way again. ~M. Ford

“See, I set before you today life and prosperity, death and destruction. For I command you today to love the Lord your God, to walk in obedience to him, and to keep his commands, decrees and laws; then you will live and increase, and the Lord your God will bless you in the land you are entering to possess.” (Deuteronomy‬ ‭30:15-16‬)

“LET PRAISE RING!”

Published on by Duty to Delight Ministries1 Comment

“Make a joyful shout to the LORD, all you lands! Serve the LORD with gladness; Come before His presence with singing. Know that the LORD, He is God; It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; We are His people and the sheep of His pasture. Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name. For the LORD is good; His mercy is everlasting, And His truth endures to all generations.”   (Psalms 100:1-5)

“A HEART OF THANKFULNESS”

Published on by Duty to Delight Ministries1 Comment

Saints, unforgiveness waters down the witness of the believer. Hate hardens the Heart more than it hurts the hated. But, If your heart is filled and overflowing with Thanksgiving, you have no room for unforgiveness or hatred.  Being thankful is not limited to just one day of the year, but it is a way of life that results from having an attitude of gratitude.  Thankfulness opens doors to bountiful blessings…Be Thankful! ~M. Ford 

“Oh, give thanks to the Lord , for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.” (I Chronicles 16:34)
