Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Romans 6:1 . What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? Romans 6:2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin [is] death; but the gift of God [is] eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. 1John 3:4 . Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. Exodus 16:28 And the LORD said unto Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my commandments and my laws? Matthew 5:17 . Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill Malachi 3:6 For I [am] the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. Matthew 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Matthew 5:19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach [them], the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. John 14:15 . If ye love me, keep my commandments.

"... lets go to the greatest and most famous story about the Israelites sojourn in the land of Egypt. This would be the story of Moses (Moshe). Many years after the death of Joseph, His brothers and all that generation that entered Egypt during the time he was viceroy. The Hebrews population in Egypt grew tremendously. Because of this, they were no longer looked upon as friendly neighbors, the Egyptians now considered them hostile enemies and enslaved them. Because of the Hebrews' population growth, the Egyptians decided they would impose upon them their own form of birth control. Pharaoh made a decreed that all Hebrew baby boys are killed at birth. Exodus 1:22 And Pharaoh charged all his people, saying, Every son that is born ye shall cast into the river, and every daughter ye shall save alive. This brings us directly to the story of Moses. Moses was born a Hebrew - Israelite from the tribe of Levi (exodus 2:1-3). He spent 40 years in the house of pharaoh (Acts 7:23) and was raised as the Pharaoh's Grandson Exodus 2: 10 And the child grew, and she brought him unto Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses: and she said, Because I drew him out of the water. Many Scholars say the Pharaoh who was on the throne of Egypt at the time of Moses' birth, was Pharaoh Seti I. He was the father of Rameses II, also known as Rameses the Great. George Rawlinson, an English author wrote a book entitled History of Egypt. On page 252, he gives a description of Seti I. He states: "SETI'S FACE WAS THOROUGHLY AFRICAN. HE HAD A STORMY FACE WITH A DEPRESSED FLAT NOSE, THICK LIPS AND HEAVY CHIN." Moses had the same physical characteristics because again, he was raised in the house of Pharaoh, as the grandson of Pharaoh, when Pharaoh ordered all Hebrew males to be killed at birth. If the Israelites were a white-skinned people, how could Moses the Hebrew survive (secretly) in the house of Pharaoh among black-skinned Egyptians for 40 years, and not be noticed. Furthermore, after giving the decree (himself) to kill all Hebrew males, how could Pharaoh face and rule over his people, if he knowingly had one living in his house with all the rights and privileges of his own family? Moses survived 40 years in the palace of Pharaoh because he was a black man just as the Egyptians were. This is deep, Pharaoh looked into the eyes of Moses as a baby and thought this was his own flesh and blood. He looked into the eyes of Moses as a teenager and thought this was his own flesh and blood. He looked into the eyes of Moses as a young man in his 20's and 30's and thought this was his own flesh and blood. Pharaoh saw Moses grow into a man of 40 and he thought this was his own flesh and blood grandson. (from http://www.hebrewisraelites.org/physicalapp.htm) When you read your Bible it clearly states who the Jews are and what they would go through on this Earth. And IF you read you will notice that everything that is described, "Jewish" people have not gone throu, and black people have..ie 400 years of captivity. Here is what the Bible says to us (the real Jews) about Jewish people.
Revelations 2:9 9I know how you are suffering, how poor you are—but you are rich. I also know that those who claim to be Jews slander you. They are the synagogue of Satan. Revelations 3:9 9I will make those who are in Satan’s synagogue come and bow at your feet and realize that I have loved you. They claim that they are Jewish, but they are lying. Yeshua (Jesus) was a Jew and as we all know from the descriptions in the Bible... He was a black man. Therefore....it doesn't take a brain surgeon to realize the obvious. If Yeshua was a Jew then why do we call ourselves Christians, Muslims, etc. Are we not followers of Yeshua (Christ)? Think about it. The Bible describes what would happen to the people of Israel (Jews) because of the indiscretions of our forefathers. Their descendents (us) are cursed. The Bible says that we'd be in captivity for 400 years, scattered about the Earth, and that we wouldn't know who we are..so it is no surprise that so many of us are confused and constantly seeking...and then when we are confronted with the truth we reject it..it's all written. Notes: See http://shopdivine.weebly.com/1/post/2011/02/the-plight-of-the-black-man-in-america.html Here is an excerpt from a flier that I received at The Cultural Center of NCCI in Decatur, GA..
"What we don't understand is that all our acquired problems have to do with spiritual issues. They are the outcome of what the Most High God Yahweh told our fathers, the Holy Prophets, would befall the House of Yisrael for disobedience and learning the ways of our captors. Deut 28:26/9 Isaiah 3:1-6 Deut 28:26/9 - 26 Your carcasses will be food for all the birds and the wild animals, and there will be no one to frighten them away. 27 The LORD will afflict you with the boils of Egypt and with tumors, festering sores and the itch, from which you cannot be cured. 28 The LORD will afflict you with madness, blindness and confusion of mind. Isaiah 3:1-6 Judgment on Jerusalem and Judah 1 See now, the Lord, the LORD Almighty, is about to take from Jerusalem and Judah both supply and support: all supplies of food and all supplies of water, 2 the hero and the warrior, the judge and the prophet, the diviner and the elder, 3 the captain of fifty and the man of rank, the counselor, skilled craftsman and clever enchanter. 4 “I will make mere youths their officials; children will rule over them.” 5 People will oppress each other— man against man, neighbor against neighbor. The young will rise up against the old, the nobody against the honored. 6 A man will seize one of his brothers in his father’s house, and say, “You have a cloak, you be our leader; take charge of this heap of ruins!” Our bed was made hard and now we are laying in it. The fact is that there are biblical reasons as to why we are afflicted in all the political, religious, economic, and social dilemmas that we have suffered in and are still to suffer. These facts, as well as the solution to our moral and spiritual problems were written down by our forefathers in the Holy Bible. It's not about religion as the Gentiles (non-Jews) insanity teaches. Matthew 15:9-14 Matthew 15:21-27 Matthew 15:9-14 9 They worship me in vain; their teachings are merely human rules.” 10 Jesus called the crowd to him and said, “Listen and understand. 11 What goes into someone’s mouth does not defile them, but what comes out of their mouth, that is what defiles them.” 12 Then the disciples came to him and asked, “Do you know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this?” 13 He replied, “Every plant that my heavenly Father has not planted will be pulled up by the roots. 14 Leave them; they are blind guides. If the blind lead the blind, both will fall into a pit.” Matthew 15:21-27 The Faith of a Canaanite Woman 21 Leaving that place, Jesus withdrew to the region of Tyre and Sidon. 22 A Canaanite woman from that vicinity came to him, crying out, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me! My daughter is demon-possessed and suffering terribly.” 23 Jesus did not answer a word. So his disciples came to him and urged him, “Send her away, for she keeps crying out after us.” 24 He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel.” 25 The woman came and knelt before him. “Lord, help me!” she said. 26 He replied, “It is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.” 27 “Yes it is, Lord,” she said. “Even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master’s table.” 28 Then Jesus said to her, “Woman, you have great faith! Your request is granted.” And her daughter was healed at that moment. " (My Words: Matthew 15:21-27 - Yeshua (Jesus) healed this woman because of her faith, however, he was very clear that he was sent for the lost children of Israel. Therefore, he is OUR (black/brown ppl) savior. He didn't come for everyone. (this is a hard pill to swallow for many) He was about to keep walking right past her. However, those who believe on Him will also be saved just as the Caanite woman. If you are not clear on who the lost children of Israel are. It's in the Bible. The lost children of Israel are clearly black people who have been scattered about the Earth. Use Google. Google knows the truth too. Do your own research and I'll continue to post as much as possible. ) The Bible is the legacy given by Yahweh to our fathers the twelve tribes of Yisrael for the service and salvation of mankind. But due to 400 years of miseducation and indoctrination; our people on kly know small bits and pieces fed to us through organized religions: Religions taught to us by the gentiles from the history book called the Holy Bible, the book our forefathers, the Hebrews wrote. " In the Eleventh grade I had to take a school bus to school, and since I was in the magnet program the bus came before day break it seems. The walk was scary because there was little light. On my way I'd recite The Lord's Prayer. That was the very first Bible verse I'd ever memorized. I was 16 years old. I didn't really care to know anything about God or how to live until my late teens. In a way I'm glad I wasn't "raised in the church". It seems like people who were "raised in the front pew" are slaves to memory verses and traditions and can't seem to see beyond the catch phrases and cliches that have been "beat" into them over the years. I notice that a lot of people who go to church all the time, or grew up going to First Methodist On The Dock of The Bay Church of God and Christ, seem to be just as confused as everyone else. But I digress. Anyway, The Lord's Prayer truly comforted me. To me, it was more than a memory verse, I didn't learn it for an Easter or Christmas play. The words spoke to me and comforted me. I recognized those words as God's promise to always be there for me and take care of me and keep me safe from harm. Lest we forget....
The subject of employment has been heavy on my heart for the past few years. It's like I resent employment. The way it's set up..the cubical, the clocking in and out, the break and lunch times, etc. God gives us free will. Who are these people to tell us when to sit, when to stand, when to eat, when to rest, when to leave, when we can leave to take care of our husbands and children. The whole thing just disgusts me. I know there's a better way. What further disgusts me is the way people rely on jobs and employment. When I worked for a Financial Services firm a few years ago, and they were laying people off left and right..I didn't flinch. My mantra was always "This job doesn't take care of me. God takes care of me." I've always felt like no matter what happens, God is going to take care of me. And He has never failed me. I was laid off and I received a job offer less than a month later. I turned that job down. I didn't work for 3 months then I started another job. I HATED it and quit. God took care of me through it all. I didn't belong in those places. I was miserable. God doesn't want me to be miserable. I refuse to believe that. I refuse to believe that he wants you to be miserable. People were like "OMG how are you going to pay your mortgage, your car, your bills?" God took care of it all. I didn't lose my house and me and my child had food to eat every night. I was reading an article online, and I wish that I could site the source, but I can't. The author was discussing how this country has the system set up so that we rely heavily on our federal government..for food, money, health care, utility assistance, etc. We've grown to rely on the government more than God. We pledge allegiance to the American flag, we bow down to their God, we adopt their viewpoints...I believe we do the same with jobs without realizing it. If you're honest with yourself, you or someone you know relies on a job or the income you receive from your job more than you rely on God. You've made your job or having a job your God. You do what your boss says before you do what God says. Massa says jump, you say "how high?"...SMH. I believe that when you are doing what God intends for you, you won't be miserable. You won't cry at night thinking about walking into Hell the next day. There will be challenges, attitudes, irate customers, cranky bosses, etc. But I don't believe God intends MISERY for any of us. I dare you to step out on faith, ask God where you need to be and BELIEVE HIM. I said in a previous post that God is dynamic. He's bold. He says I DARE YOU. I dare you to leave that Hell you call a job, your nice little salary, and rely on Me..so you can focus on Me as opposed to how miserable you are. People always say "God is a jealous God." To me this means that He doesn't want anything to come before him. That anything does not have to be a good thing..it can be a bad thing..you're so focused on how miserable you are how can you focus on anything pertaining to God? Maybe this is just my challenge. I can't subject myself to crazy for the sake of an income. When it's what God intends for me I believe I'll know. So far I haven't found it. I'm going to keep on SEEKING until I do. My sanity, this LIFE that God gave me is worth so much more. There has to be another way, and I intend to find it. By any means..I encourage you to pray and figure out what you need to do if you find yourself in a similar situation. So I say all that to say that The Lord's Prayer says I SHALL NOT WANT. And because I believe that..it is so. I want for NOTHING. I have everything I could ever want or need. And for that I thank God..not a job..but GOD... And for reading this I thank you. :-) Just my thoughts people..just my thoughts... Parents: Be careful who you listen to as it pertains to your children. Teachers, family, coworkers & friends will tell you they aren't well behaved, need medication, are "behind", or developmentally delayed. But what did GOD say? Don't let anyone speak that type of negativity over your child. I don't know about yours but MINE, that God entrusted me with, is fearfully and wonderfully made.
That doesn't mean to totally ignore certain behaviors that we notice in our children. James 1:5 says "If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him." To me that means that we should consult God before we consult teachers, doctors, psychologists, psychiatrists, etc. God will speak to our spirits and order our steps. After all, these children aren't ours they are His. Would you like it if someone made decisions for your son or daughter without consulting you first? Doubt it. Be good Stewards over everything God gives you, including His children. -Fatimah XOXO I decided to post the lyrics to a very popular new contemporary gospel song by Marvin Sapp. Really great song. There's a reflection question at the end.
The Best in Me by Marvin Sapp > He saw the best in me When everyone else around Could only see the worst in me Can I tell ya’ll one more time, one more time? I said he saw the best in me When everyone else around Could only see the worst in me I wish I had a witness tonigth All I need is one Heyyy He saw the best in me (When everyone else around me) When everyone else around (oohh) (Could only see)) Could only see the worst in me Does anybody have that testimony? When folk walks you off Said you would never make it, what did he see? He saw the best in me (When everyone else around you yeaa) When everyone else around (Ooohh, could only) Could only see the worst in me Can I tell ya’ll one more thing? I just need to tell you one more thing (Listen to this) See he’s mine, and I am his It doesn’t matter what I did He only sees me, for who I am Does anybody know that today? Oh… Ohh See he’s mine, and I am his It doesn’t matter what I did He only sees me, for who I am Does anybody know that today? (Help me sing it) Said that he is mine See he’s mine I’m his And I am his It doesn’t matter what I did It doesn’t matter what I did Cause he only sees me for who I am, yea.. yea.. He only sees me for who I am I’m so glad That he is mine He’s mine Yeahh..

The question is simply this… What did he see? He saw the best in me (When everyone else around me) When everyone else around (oohh) (Could only see)) Could only see the worst in me I can’t get no help us in here Because there are some folk in here People have walked you off Said you would never amount to anything Said that you would never end up being anywhere But tell them one more time He saw the best in me (When everyone else around me) When everyone else around (oohh) (Could only see)) Could only see the worst in me When mama said you would never be nothing When aunties and uncles said you would never amount to anything When daddy didn’t come home anymore he didn’t look at you and said that You wasn’t going to make it God looked at you And what did he see What did he see? He saw the best The best The best The best The best The best The best The best I said what did he see I said what did he see I said what did he see I said what did he see I said what did he see I said what did he see He saw the best in me (Oh lord, oh, lord) Can I sing the verse one more time, listen to this ya’ll I love this, I love this See he’s mine, and I am his It doesn’t matter what I did But he only sees me for who I am Ohhhhhh, Lord, Yeahh….

When God looks at us he see's Christ (for those who are saved/born again). Thank God. Can you think of an area in your life where noone thought you'd make it but you succeeded anyway? I can honestly say 've never experienced that. I have been blessed enough to be surrounded by people who have faith in my talents, abilities, and capabilities. Your thoughts..? -Fatimah XOXO God told me to beware of those who claim to come in his name and have the appearance of sanctity (I had to look the word sanctity up so I know it was Him LOL). He told me that some of us have emancipated ourselves from the will of God and have created our own agendas. Not all who claim the name of God are really about God. Sometimes the people who love, seek, and desire God the most are the people you'd least expect. People who are far from perfect. People who you shake your head at and call "sinner".
My prayer: God I thank you for these words of wisdom and I thank you for seeing fit for me to be the person to bring these words forth. Amen. My words to my visitors: I am far from perfect. This I know. I strive daily to improve and to live my life the way God intended. This may come easier for some than others. I believe that God is trying to tell us that you can't judge another persons walk with Christ. Only God truly knows our hearts. God is dynamic. According to Merriam Webster dictionary (had to look this word up too as I'm typing this stuff its just coming to me (LOL) dynamic means marked by usually continuous and productive activity or change; Energetic; Forceful. God is not boring. While this is a good thing, God is not just sitting in church listening to a pastor. While this is an excellent thing God is not just sitting and reading and memorizing your Bible. God is fun. God is laughter. God is love. God wants us to run, jump, smile, laugh, play, joke around, hug, and all the while thanking, loving, and Glorifying Him. I'd like to thank my aunt Jeanell for saying this: Jeanell Flood-Mcgriff Sometimes God places things in our Heart and we sit on them day after day.We'll say to Him, Lord I don't know if I can do this or what will people think? It doesn't matter what people think. It's just YOU and GOD! God doesn't give You more than You can bare. If He's for Us, He's more than the whole world against Us! Whoever You are, I admonish You to Step Out On Faith and Get about Our Fathers Business..I DiD!! God put this idea for this website on my heart so long ago. I've finally started to work on it but I've been scared to tell people about it because I was afraid they'd look at me and say "What does she know about God?, Fatimah?" I'm silly, I joke around a lot, I crack corny jokes, I like to have fun. No, I don't quote the bible all day and I may not hum hymns all the day long but I love God. I love, seek, and desire to know him better and better every minute of every day. It's a longing that I can't describe. That's not always what you see when you see me being silly. Perhaps I should do more to change that. But like Ms. Jeanell said it doesn't matter what people think about me. It's not about me. It's about me being obedient to God and what He has assigned for me to do. So, I'm not going to lie and say I'm ready to broadcast this to the world right at this moment. But Jeanell's statement is definitely confirmation that this is something that I need to do. Thank you for reading and I hope you'll visit again soon and often. Love, Fatimah The first book that we will discuss is Left to Tell by Immaculee Ilibagiza. Great book. I've read it before and will re-read w/you! Order a copy from the home page. Thanks for your support. To allow you time to obtain your reading materials I will blog on approximately the first 50 pages on Feb 22.
Everyone have a great Valentine's Day weekend. Be safe and stay warm! So...I haven't really shared this site with many people yet so basically I've been blogging to myself LOL. The vision for this site was given to me about 4 years ago. I started on it and abandoned the project altogether. So here it is about 4 or 5 years later and this vision is still on my heart...I don't want to jump ship again this time.
I went to Bible study today and Dr. Dee discussed Godly goals and Prayerful Planning. And there are certain steps one needs to take when planning to achieve a goal. My goal is to glorify God through the creation of this site because that's what I believe I've been called to do. Your patience is appreciated while I seek the guidance of my Father. I see great things in 2010. What are your short term and long term goals? How do you plan on achieving your goals? What are some good books that you can recommend that will help with Godly goals and prayerful planning? xoxo - Fatimah |
