“You don’t have the sense that God gave to a goose!” Almost every time I made a mistake growing up, that’s what I heard. So, I started watching geese. I soon realized two things; I LOVE to watch GEESE and geese are not stupid! I have spent many hours watching geese and have read a great deal about why they do what they do. As a pastor and army chaplain, I’ve learned some valuable “goose sense” lessons. I want to share some lessons and how they relate to our lives as believers in Jesus Christ.

GOOSE FACT #1: As each goose flaps its wings, it creates an “updraft” or “updraft” for the birds following it. By flying in a “V” shape, it is estimated that the entire flock can fly 70% farther than if each bird flew alone. A few years ago, while Cheri and I were driving from Maryland to Missouri, we saw hundreds of thousands of geese in flight! The estimate was 750,000 to 900,000 geese! The sky literally went black at noon with massive formations of geese for over ten miles as we drove! It was one of the most AWESOME sights we have ever witnessed! WOW! (Let me say it backwards – WOW!)

GOOSE SENSE LESSON #1: Christian believers share a sense of community and a common bond through Jesus Christ. With a VISION from God, we are able to achieve God’s goals for us much more easily when we “LIFT UP” one another and ride in the momentum of our fellowship. “But you, Timothy, belong to God; so he flees from all these bad things, and follows what is right and good. Pursue a godly life, along with faith, love, perseverance, and meekness. Fight the good fight for what we believe in. Hold fast to the eternal life that God has given you, which you have so well confessed before many witnesses.” (The Bible, 1 Timothy 6:11-12, Living New Testament). Good common sense means that people do good things for others.

GOOSE FACT #2: When a goose falls out of formation, it suddenly feels the drag and resistance of flying solo. He quickly falls back into formation to harness the lifting power of the rest of the flock and avoid the gusts of wind from all the other fluttering geese. Remember the scene in the movie “Top Gun” when Maverick and Goose (ironic, huh) got caught in their wingman’s “jet wash” and ended up crashing into the sea? It’s the same concept with geese.

GOOSE SENSE LESSON #2: There is a lot more “drag and drag” in the world when trying to FLY alone! We should be willing to let others HELP “carry our load”, and we should be willing to HELP other people carry theirs! Learn how to do “Random Acts of Kindness” for others. Help an old lady to put her shopping in the car. Rake your neighbor’s leaves. Bring dinner to someone who is sick. Offer to babysit a young couple’s children so they can go out at night. Give a restaurant gift certificate to your pastor and his wife. Our oldest daughter had just had twins in ND and we were getting ready to leave MO on our motorcycle when a couple from our church called and said she wanted to buy us plane tickets so we could get there sooner. I planned to say “no” because I was looking forward to the trip, and then he blurted out the “B” word at me. He said, “It would be a tremendous BLESSING for us if we were allowed to do this!” I had to accept then, because I learned a long time ago that “Being a blessing to someone else brings a Blessing to us”. Good common sense means spending good, quality time with other believers. Share Jesus with your loved ones so that your closest family and friends are other believers.

GOOSE FACT #3: When the lead goose doubles, it spins back into formation and another goose immediately flies into the lead position. All the geese, except the sick ones, take their turn at the front of the formation. No fuss, no debate, no arguing, they just do it! It’s part of being a goose!

OCA MEANINGLESS LESSON #3: The ministry of the Church does NOT belong to paid pastors. It is NOT just for Deacons and Elders. Every believer should participate in the ministries of the church. It pays to take turns doing difficult tasks, and it’s good to share leadership responsibilities. As with the geese, we are interdependent on the gifts and talents of others. Furthermore, when our constant goal is for Jesus Christ to receive the credit, the praise, the honor and the glory, it doesn’t matter WHO does the real WORK! See Colossians 3:23-24. Every believer is a follower, a follower of Jesus Christ and of his shepherds in the flock. But every believer is ALSO a leader, based on his spiritual gifts and talents, and it is imperative that he uses those gifts and talents to do good things for the kingdom of God. Good common sense means that believers do good things for the kingdom of God and other kingdom pilgrims.

GOOSE FACT #4: All geese flying in formation “TOUCH” to encourage the geese ahead to “keep going” towards the finish line!

GOOSE SENSE LESSON #4: I IMPLORE YOU to make sure ALL of your “GRACINES” are ENCOURAGED in nature! For THE SAKE OF HEAVEN, for THE SAKE OF THE KINGDOM, EVERY time you talk TO or ABOUT someone else, be sure to say ONLY something GOOD, “EDITALIZING”, CARING and ENCOURAGING! There is no place in the kingdom of God and there is no place in the life of the Christian for gossip, slander, negativism, “not-saying”, backbiting and bringing each other down! “Beloved, if God so loved us, we too should love one another.” HORNS from GROWING congregations are encouraging and “uplifting”! GROWING congregations are JOYFULLY HAPPY congregations! Our individual and collective missions are “to be conformed to the image of Jesus Christ, the beloved Son of God.” (Romans 8:29). Let’s be “CHEER” HONKERS to one another for the sake of Jesus! Let’s say GOOD SENSE things to each other. Let’s say GOOD SENSE GOOSE things about each other. Good common sense means encouraging one another to “keep going” toward the goal of God’s upward calling prize in Jesus Christ!

GOOSE FACT #5: When a goose gets sick and can’t continue, two other geese drop out of formation and follow to help and protect it. They stay with him until he dies or can fly again. They then launch into another formation or catch up with their herd.

GOOSE SENSE LESSON #5: I’m GLAD God has given believers “Goose Sense!” His word teaches us to support each other, both in difficult times and in good ones. He teaches us to pick each other up when we fall. When relationships fail, when children rebel, when careers fall apart, when bad things happen to good people, when people die too soon, when trouble comes (and eventually comes to all of us), the Word of God has a word for believers. Galatians 6:2 says, “Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.” Verses 9-10 remind us: “Therefore let us not tire of doing good, for in due time we will reap, if we do not give up. So, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, and especially to those of the house of God.” Faith”. Good common sense means sticking together in good times and bad, standing up for one another and standing up for those less fortunate.

GOOSE FACT #6: A pair of geese will meet and mate for life. They live, travel and make babies together until one of them dies. Then the other goose will find another mate, and again a mate for life.

GOOD GOOSE SENSE LESSON #6 Monogamous relationships just make GOOD GOOSE SENSE! First of all, this is how God planned it! (See Genesis 2-3). Second, it prevents a whole plethora of problems, including divorce, sexual sin, broken and blended families, financial burdens, child behavior problems, etc. Now don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying these things don’t exist in monogamous relationships as well, but statistics show that they are more prevalent when people have been in multiple relationships. (And my 34 years of ministry have taught me that “the grass is NOT greener on the other side of the fence!) It is so pleasing to see the growing number of young people in our society choosing to remain abstinent and celibate until marriage – who is definitely a step in the right direction from my generation (being a teenager in the late 60’s and early 70’s during the height of the “sexual revolution”).If you or your young teens are interested, go to True Love Waits on the Internet Good common sense means waiting for the person you know God has wanted you to spend the rest of your life with, and then spending the rest of your life with that person!

In a nutshell, what does GOOD GOOSE SENSE LESSONS have to say to believers?
Love each other. Pray for each other. Cheer each other on. Being next to each other. Lift each other up. Help each other up and out. Stand up with and for others. Stay the course. Love each other. (I know, I already said it, but it needs to be said twice, right?)

I pray that all believers will listen and practice the lessons of the geese. Do you have the sense that God gave to a goose? You do if you do GOOD SENSE things to each other. They do if they do things with GOOD SENSE for each other. Use your GOOSE GOOD SENSE – you’ll be glad you did!

the diamond ring

We all seek to be happy, infinitely happy, happy with the person we are with, safe in the knowledge that they will always be there for us no matter what. You may be thinking of proposing this year. Maybe they are expecting it or maybe it is completely unexpected, either way it has an impact that lasts a lifetime. Being in love instantly draws us to all the beautiful things around us, sunsets, walks on the beach, holding hands at the movies, having a romance, and doing those little things for each other that let us know who we are. loved ones We also begin to appreciate giving, giving time, giving compliments, giving small gifts, and giving big gifts.

Giving away diamond jewelry is a great perfect gift.

The healing properties of diamonds.

Diamonds are believed to have a particular effect on the wearer, bringing clarity, unity and fidelity, which is why they are chosen as the main stone in engagement rings. But before you go down that road, you may want to know more about the perfect engagement ring and why we wear diamonds. Part of our newfound love for each other is the tradition of proposing with a fancy engagement ring. Giving a precious jewel the day you propose it adds more shine and magic than you think.

Diamonds represent fidelity, love, purity, innocence and loving relationships. They are believed to remove certain types of disturbances in the aura. Diamond jewelry inspires creativity, ingenuity, faith, endurance, and helps manifest abundance in all areas of life. As the hardest mineral known (moissanite is the second hardest), it is especially prized for its beauty, purity, and ability to reflect light depending on the cut used. Wearing a diamond encourages clarity and clear, positive resolution of all issues that bother us. Diamonds work in conjunction with other crystals to accentuate their vibrational healing properties.

In Hinduism, diamonds are associated with the planet Venus, while other ancient cultures believed that they were connected to the planet Mars. The latter is probably due to the custom of warriors using diamond stones in battle to protect and strengthen themselves. Diamonds were thought to make warriors invincible and strengthen their muscles. The Greek word for diamond – adamas – meaning invincible may support this belief. According to Hindu astrology, diamonds are considered auspicious if worn on a Friday and must be at least 0.59 carat in weight, but preferably 1.5 carat. The back of the diamond must touch the wearer’s skin, and there are very in-depth processes to bless the ring before it is worn. These include washing the ring in various liquids and reciting mantras.

When using diamonds for astrological benefits, it must have been prescribed for you and if the diamond does not touch the skin, it will have no effect. It would be prescribed by a Hindu expert, if you choose to use one without confirmation, you may risk negative effects such as health, wealth and relationship problems.

The world’s most famous diamond, the Koh-I-Noor, has an important history and is believed to be a 5,000-year-old gem from India. With a colorful history, it is believed that it destroyed those dynasties whose leaders were men.

The gem was presented to Queen Victoria by Dileep Singh in 1851 and has since passed to the wife of the heir to the British throne. The British royal family may well be aware of Kohinoor’s curse: “Whoever owns this diamond will own the world, but he too will know all its misfortunes.” Only God, or a woman, can carry it with impunity. This may be why women are presented with a diamond ring when proposed, while men tend not to wear diamond rings, sticking instead to gold wedding bands.

Choosing the perfect ring

For most of us, however, the ring is not bought for its healing properties and the healing aspect is not even recognized in the West, so there is no need to worry about untoward events.

There are many different styles of luxury engagement rings, from your traditional solitaire to the more detailed split body engagement ring with its extensive design options. Celebrity style engagement rings, 3 stone, 5 stone or 7 stone/half eternity rings. The list goes on, so if you’re thinking of proposing to her this year, find out exactly what she likes, if you’re not sure, ask some of her friends who might be able to give you an idea of ​​what she likes.

Diamond jewelry or quality gemstone jewelry appeals to our senses during this intense period of romantic engagement. The brilliance of gems, the beauty they exude, and the happiness they bring when you buy them and gift them to your loved one are second to none.

Also keep your budget in mind, the suggested cost is about 1 month’s salary, remember this ring should last a lifetime.

Messianic Prophecy

One of the most powerful and convincing ways to prove that the Bible is true and divinely inspired is through Bible prophecy. There are different types of Bible prophecies that can be used: Messianic (Jesus Christ), the people and land of Israel, the surrounding nations, the future of the world, and the “End Times.” I will discuss messianic prophecies. These prophecies deal with predictions about Jesus Christ, the Messiah. Messiah in Hebrew means “The Anointed One”.

Written over a span of 1,000 years, the Old Testament contains 300 prophetic references to the coming Messiah, Jesus Christ. The probability that a man will fulfill only eight of the 300 messianic prophecies is astronomical. That would be one in a hundred trillion. Jesus Christ fulfills the three hundred prophecies! This would have been impossible if He were not the Son of God. Below I have listed prophecies and fulfilled prophecies about his birth, his nature, his ministry, his death and burial, and his resurrection.

Your birth

How many times have we heard the story of the birth of Jesus, but people may not understand that His birth was predicted 400 to 1000 years before His birth? These prophecies written between 1450 a. C. and 430 a. C. are very detailed in their description of the time, place and circumstances of his birth and are all 100% accurate. Predicting anything 10 years from now would be difficult, but predicting anything 4 to 15 centuries from now with perfect accuracy would have to be a God-inspired plan.

Share Micah 5:2 with an unbeliever and then show them the fulfillment of this prophecy in Matthew 2:1. When you talk about Bethlehem, that should surely ring a bell.

Prophecy – “But you, Bethlehem Ephratah, little to be among the families of Judah, from you will come the one who will be Lord in Israel, whose departures are from the beginning, from eternity” (Micah 5:2).

Fulfillment of prophecy – “When Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of King Herod, behold, wise men came from the east to Jerusalem” (Matthew 2:1).

his, her nature

The Bible makes it very clear about the unique nature of Jesus Christ. He was born of a virgin. His name would be Emmanuel, which means “God with us”. The spirit of the Lord would rest upon Him in wisdom, understanding, counsel, power, knowledge, and the fear of the Lord. He was both Lord and Christ. There are a number of scriptures that verify this. I have listed a couple of scriptures that you can use to sway the skeptic.

Prophecy – “The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand, Until I make your enemies your footstool” (Psalm 110:1).

Fulfillment of prophecy – “Let all the house of Israel know, therefore, that God has made this very Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ” (Acts 2:36).

Prophecy – “Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, a virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and she shall call his name Immanuel” (Isaiah 7:14).

Fulfillment of the prophecy – “All this happened so that what the Lord said through the prophet might be fulfilled, when he said: Behold, a virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call his name Immanuel, which translated is: God with us” (Matthew 1:22-23).

your ministry

As stated in the Gospels, preparation for the ministry of Jesus Christ began with his baptism in the Jordan River in Judea by John the Baptist. He was thirty years old at the beginning of his ministry. Immediately after his baptism in water, he was led by the Holy Spirit to the Judean desert to fast forty days and forty nights. He then returned to Galilee to preach and recruit the first disciples of his who traveled with him. They formed the final nucleus of the early Church.

After the death of John the Baptist, Jesus went to Jerusalem where he ministered. His last week in Jerusalem has been called Passion Week, culminating in his crucifixion, burial, and resurrection. I have listed below two scriptures that he can use to point to the prediction and fulfillment of his earthly ministry.

Prophecy – “However, the darkness will not be as it was in its affliction, when it first afflicted the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali lightly, and then afflicted it more severely by the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, in Galilee of the nations. The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; on them who dwelt in the land of the shadow of death, light has dawned on them” (Isaiah 9:1-2).

Fulfillment of the prophecy: “Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan, to John, to be baptized by him. And Jesus, when he was baptized, immediately came up out of the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming upon him: And behold, a voice from heaven said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased” (Matthew 3:13,16-17).

Prophecy – “Then the eyes of the blind will be opened, and the ears of the deaf will be unstopped. Then the lamb-man will leap like a deer, and the tongue of the dumb will sing; for in the desert waters will flow, and streams in the desert ” (Isaiah 35:5-6).

Fulfillment of prophecy – “And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every disease among the people. Jesus answered and said to them, Go and show John again what you hear and see: The blind receive sight, and lambs walk, lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the gospel is preached to the poor: (Matthew 9:35; 11:4 -5).

His death and burial

The fulfilled prophecies of the death and burial of Jesus Christ give further evidence of his glorious place in history. Below are scriptures he can use to bring truth, hope, and light to those in darkness.

Prophecy – “I gave my back to those who beat me, and my cheeks to those who tore out my hair; I did not hide my face from shame and spitting” (Isaiah 50:6).

Fulfillment of the prophecy – “Then Pilate, wanting to please the people, released Barabbas for them, and handed over Jesus, after flogging him, to be crucified” (Mark 15:15).

Prophecy – “For dogs have surrounded me; a gang of the wicked has surrounded me; they pierced my hands and my feet” (Psalm 22:16).

Fulfillment of the prophecy – “Then the other disciples said to him: We have seen the Lord. But he said to them: If I do not see the nail prints in your hands, and put my finger in the nail prints, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe. Then he (Jesus) said to Thomas, “Reach out your finger here, and see my hands; and reach out your hand, and put it into my side; and be not unbelieving, but believing” (John 20:25, 27).

Prophecy – “And his grave was made with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; for he did no violence, neither was deceit in his mouth” (Isaiah 53:9).

Fulfillment of the prophecy – “When evening came, a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who was also a disciple of Jesus, came: he went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate ordered the body to go and Joseph taking the body He wrapped him in a clean sheet and put him in his new tomb, which he had dug out of the rock, and he rolled a great stone at the door of the tomb and left (Matthew 27:57-60).

his resurrection

The Resurrection of Jesus Christ distinguishes Christianity from all other religions. There is no evidence that any of the founders of other religions were ever resurrected. The empty tomb testifies to the Resurrection. He uses these prophecies to convince the doubters.

Prophecy – “For you will not leave my soul in hell, nor will you allow your Holy One to see corruption” (Psalm 16:10).

Fulfillment of prophecy – “Whom God raised up, delivered from the pains of death, because he could not possibly be held back from it” (Acts 2:24).

Prophecy – “I will declare the decree: The Lord has said to me, You are my son; today I have begotten you” (Psalm 2:7).

Fulfillment of prophecy – “And from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and ruler of the kings of the earth, who loved us and washed us from our sins in his own blood” (Revelation 1:5) .

Ambassadors of Jesus Christ

As ambassadors of Jesus Christ, let us share these prophetic scriptures with the lost, allowing the Holy Spirit to convince them that Jesus Christ is the Savior of the world and that, as sinners, they must receive Him as their Lord and Savior in order to escape Hell and be ready for the darling.

In the process of choosing the perfect engagement ring, it is essential to find a design that matches the wearer’s personality and lifestyle. Also, daily activities should be a factor of consideration to ensure that the ring can withstand daily wear and tear. Let’s take a look at some of the most popular options:

classic and elegant

One of the most timeless styles is the classic solitaire which is very effective at showcasing the diamond set in the center. Single diamond rings are usually the most popular. Typically, the metal band will be plain and made of a metal such as gold. Even with its timeless style, there is still the option to add additional styling touches, such as using a basket or trellis to hold the diamond. Also, using peekaboo diamonds or other accent diamonds can help add an extra touch of glamour.

elegant and glamorous

The fanciest rings are likely to feature pavé diamonds on a band that has the diamond much higher than normal. In addition, halo design scenarios are a very attractive option. This type of setting has the main diamond surrounded by an additional circle of diamonds that not only helps create a lot of sparkle, but also makes the main diamond stand out.

nature and outdoors

The person who loves to be outdoors is sure to have plenty of ring style options. There are many ring settings that incorporate a variety of natural elements such as flowers, vines, and leaves. The ring design with a low setting diamond is sure to benefit the most active individuals. Additionally, there is the option of having an additional metal band or bezel setting to help protect the diamond and ensure it stays in place.

timeless and romantic

For the couple in search of timeless and romantic ring style, there are many different setting options to consider, such as intricate galleries, scroll patterns and milgrain details, as well as delicate bands. Also, for those who really want a unique style of ring, there is the option of purchasing an antique ring for a unique look.

contemporary and modern

A great option for the contemporary look are rings with non-traditional shapes, such as sculptural rings. One of the most striking options is the bezel configuration. Additionally, a detailed wide band ring is sure to appeal to those looking for something other than the center diamond. However, it is still possible to have sparkle by adding a series of gemstone accents.

Isaiah 29:1

Woe to Ariel, to Ariel, the city where David lived!

Carl Sandburg, an American writer warned, “If America forgets where it came from…if it listens to those who deny and scoff, then rot and dissolution will begin.” The same principle applies to our fellow Jews in Israel.

The merciful God of Jacob-Israel raised the nation of Israel from the graveyard of history and offered us a new opportunity to fulfill our unique calling to become a model nation, a kingdom of priests, a light for all nations, based in the Law and the prophets. Yet the secular Jews, the Hellenistic Jews, the non-Jewish Jews, have divorced themselves from the Bible and have sought to make Israel a just place. I like it all other nations. And the corrupt Chief Rabbinate and blind religious leaders have woefully neglected (and lost by default) Judaism’s holiest site: the Temple Mount.

Despite the infidelity of many of Israel’s leaders, the Great God of the Universe liberated areas of Judea and Samaria and restored Judaism’s (supposedly) holiest site, the Temple Mount, to Jewish hands. Did Israel immediately invite the God of history to return to our exiles (now doing aliyah) building the Third Temple? Did they honor the God of our fathers by creating an Embassy of the Eternal in the Temple Mount?

Nope! Instead, the Israelis disdained their most sacred heritage, the crown jewel of Jerusalem, and allowed militant Muslims to continue their heinous occupation. The foreign foxes terrorize the Jewish and Christian Zionist worshipers who attempt to worship on the Temple Mount and illegally refuse to allow them to pray or read the Bible. Israel has failed to uphold the religious rights of non-Muslims (who are trampled on daily) and has failed to guarantee “freedom of access.” The biblical solution is to build the “House of Prayer for All Peoples” that the Prophets speak of.

Queen Victoria said: “I think it is very unwise to give up what we have,” referring to the territories of the British-Israeli empire. Judah has been “very unwise” in handing over the holy land to the enemies of God and Israel in the name of a lying peace. The accursed and treacherous Oslo accords, like a murderous cancer, continue to eat away at the very foundations of the Jewish state and the Jews alone bear the blame for this.

Does anyone have to be a prophet to recognize prophetic tendencies and grieve over them? Or perceive that divine judgment will surely come upon our beloved nations? Can we not just be like the righteous King Josiah who HEARD AND BELIEVED the inspired words of the PROPHETS? (2 Chronicles 34:15-33). He took God’s “old” warning to heart and then did all he could to avert a national disaster! God respected him for it.

However, the American, British and Jewish people today despise those who dare to go out, teaching and preaching the Word of God, encouraging repentance to save our people from the “Time of Jacob’s Trouble”, “the Great Unprecedented Tribulation” (Jeremiah 30:7, Matthew 24:21). At least, when they are temporarily crushed under the heels of a German-led Europe, when the Jewish Quarter becomes Judenrein and the Temple Mount taken and occupied by Vatican forces who intend to rip Israel’s heart out for their pagan purposes (Daniel 11:45, Zechariah 14:2), you will remember that they had been warned by a loving God, and hopefully you will have a change of heart and attitude that will hasten the process of redemption and welcome the Messiah whom Two Witnesses will announce to the cities of Judah and proclaim to the world (Zechariah 12:10).

The righteous will flourish like the palm tree: he will grow like a cedar in Lebanon. Those who are planted in the house of the Lord. They will flourish in the courts of our God. They will still bear fruit in old age; they will be fat and flourishing. To show that the lord is righteous, he is my rock and there is no injustice in him”

He did not say that the righteous will be comfortable, he did not say that the righteous will be rich, he did not say that the righteous will be rich, he says that the righteous will flourish like the palm tree. Psalm 92:13-15

That is the level that God wants for you, his son, he says that the righteous will flourish, if you belong to the side of the Lord, if you are a child of God, if you are coming out righteous, the level of prosperity that God wants for you is to flourish .
Now what do I mean by that?

For example, when you reach the level where you are prospering, you work only for interest, you do not work to survive day to day, hallelujah.

Oh! you fly to London today, you come back next week, you just go to the office, yeah, what’s going on here? You have people working for you, you can even tell them, you said look all I want to do again is write checks. (Hallelujah) – You just check Tuesday’s books and on Wednesday you disappear back to New York. (Hallelujah)
When you get to that level where you flourish, you don’t go back to checking bank balances, before you spend money (Amen), you don’t go back to racking your brains, you don’t start calculating, and you start listing what you want to buy before you buy. You walk into a store, lots of people go to the sales section, you go to the real thing (praise the Lord), you just pick what you want and pay for it, you’ll get there in Jesus name.

That is what Almighty God wants for you as his child. If the daughter of Yaradua (president of Nigeria) comes now, isn’t there some kind of expectation that we expect from her? Yaradua’s daughter, for example, we don’t expect her to wear rags. The president’s daughter.
You are the sons and daughters of the owner of the entire world. The gold, the silver, the oil, the minerals, the hidden riches, everything belongs to your Father, and you will flourish in the name of Jesus. Now a safe way, a very safe way by which you can get to the level where you start to flourish, is the real investments.

Now, what do I mean by investments? I’m no financial guru, but by the grace of God I’ve been in the corporate business practice of law for almost 27 years, so you should know what I’m talking about; and I will be very, very practical, I will try to avoid theories.

In Nigeria today there are three main types of investments, you have investments in stocks and shares, you have property investments and you have foreign exchange investments (forex trading)
They look at the currency, when the dollar goes down or the pound sterling goes down they buy. And when it goes up, they sell just to make more money, that’s what they want, but that’s a bit technical, I won’t go into that too much. Let’s limit ourselves to investments in property and investments in stocks and shares. When he reaches the level where he flourishes through investment, he no longer works for money. It is money that will be working for you. For example, if in 1980 I built a house and until now I continue to collect rent, either annually or triennially. Until 2007, it is the money that I have invested that still works for me. When you get to the level where you prosper through investing, you no longer work for money. In the name that is above any other name, the money will work for you. I say the good money will work for you.

Oh, before I go on, pastor, all these things that you’re doing, we’re not in a bank room, we’re not in a seminary either, is this biblical? Yes, highly biblical, I remind you of the story in Matthew chapter 25:14-30, for a matter of time let me tell you what happened, it was Jesus himself who gave the parable, he said that “the kingdom of God is like a man who goes to a far country, to one of his servants he gave five talents of money, to another he gave two talents of money, to another he gave a talent of money, the one who received five invested it, and returned another five, the one who he received two reinvested it and obtained another two. He who did not invest was cursed. He was cursed, he said, “cast out the worthless servant, on that day there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” , that will not be your portion in the name of Jesus.

So inversions are biblical, because God has specifically sent someone to me this day.
The first point you want to know is that getting to the particular point where you thrive has nothing to do with a particular trade. It doesn’t have to be it’s because he’s in oil and gas ah it’s because he’s selling cars no matter what kind of trade you’re doing no matter what kind of business you’re doing all you need is God’s blessing. You may be selling ordinary water, if God’s blessing is in that business, you will prosper. So it has nothing to do with any particular type of trade or business, you can prosper in any type of business that the Almighty God wants you to do.

You have to get to the level where you start to flourish, especially through investments. You must commit all your ways to the Lord daily, in a regular and structured way; prayer life must be daily because yesterday’s anointing is not enough for today.

The Bible says in Lamentations 3:22-23, that it is of the mercy of the Lord that we are not consumed, because his compassion never fails, they are new every morning, great is his faithfulness.
So your prayer life should be daily, not when things go well you start praying and praising God, when things don’t go well they don’t see you again. It must be daily, it must be structured, for example, you have to choose a specific meeting place, where you meet the Lord daily, if it is your bedroom, let it be your bedroom, if it is your kitchen, let it be your kitchen, if it is your living room, let it be your living room, do not make living room today, bedroom tomorrow, when the angels come, let them meet you in a specific place and let that place, as some people say, become an altar.

Choose a specific meeting time

There is hardly anyone we know who does not own a piece of diamond jewelry. Have you ever wondered about its history? We’ve chronicled their entire story for you to read!

Diamonds arose long before dinosaurs roamed the planet.
Diamante derives its name from the Greek word ‘adamas’, which means invincible. They survive the extremely brutal forces of nature to reach us and are usually brought to the Earth’s surface through volcanic activity. Diamonds generally have to travel more than 100 miles to reach the Earth’s surface and the sheer number of hardships they endure really makes them invincible and indestructible as per the meaning of their name.
Diamonds were first mined in ancient India. They were known as ‘Vajra’ which means lightning. Slowly and steadily, word of its uniqueness, rarity, and beauty spread among aristocratic families around the world, and popular trade routes around the world did the rest.
The oldest reference to the diamond is found in a Sanskrit manuscript dating from 320 to 296 BC. C. in India. That is almost 3 millennia ago. At that time, in India, diamonds were mainly used for decorative purposes and as a talisman to ward off evil. The refractive property of diamond is the most likely reason for its use in ancient India.
The first diamonds were brought from India to Europe by Alexander the Great in 327 BC.
Some popular beliefs around diamonds were truly beautiful. The Romans believed that Cupid’s arrows had diamond tips. Coincidentally, it was the first association between diamonds and romantic love. The Greeks thought that diamonds were the tears of the gods or the splinters of shooting stars. These various concepts in different cultures were simply an ode to the beauty of diamonds.
Over time, a relatively small number of diamonds became part of the jewels of the royal families of Europe. In the 13th century, the Emperor of France, Louis IX, enforced a law that reserved diamonds only for the king. The next 100 years saw the appearance of diamonds; evident in royal men’s and women’s jewelry.
The demand for diamonds multiplied as more and more of them reached the European continent. The diamond cutting industry originated in Venice only after 1330 and reached Paris at the end of the 14th century.
In 1477, Archduke Maximilian of Austria presented Marie of Burgundy with a gold ring with an M written in diamonds. This is perhaps the earliest known use of a diamond engagement ring.
In the 18th century, diamonds became even more abundant. Diamond jewelry was worn by more women. At the time, it was considered vulgar to display them during the day.
However, few revolutionary events of the following century forever changed the fate of diamonds. He rose to fame like never before. The discovery of unprecedented deposits in South Africa changed the diamond’s status from a rare gem to one potentially available to anyone who could afford it. And as the taste and capacity for opulent consumption flourished among America’s wealthy capitalists, diamond jewelry scaled new heights.
Today, diamonds are mined in more than 25 countries around the world. It is mined on all continents except Europe and Antarctica.
Diamond production has increased tremendously. From India’s peak production of 50,000 to 100,000 carats per year in the 16th century to around 100 million carats per year today!
Today, it is available throughout the world and has led to the widespread availability of diamond jewelry for many purposes.

Diamond encrusted jewelry is certainly the envy of all. Find out more about them at Krishna Jewelers Pearls & Gems.
