Special Folks-homies








“For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God”, Ephesians 2:8




“Special Delivery” Poem

Sometimes there are difficulties in the side road
That can leave you feeling low and not special
You don’t know how to move self-assured
Every so often, there are curves you want to select
But the way gets hard to trace
This Juncture, pondering, how did you procure 
But don’t you give up, Let Jesus work on You!
Until you see How God 
Is ordering your steps 
As You Leap into your season of Faith 
Forever
Dancing with Jesus like no one is watching
Choose Love, “J-e-s-u-s” My Lord!

“So, you should know that the true children of Abraham are those who have faith”. Galatians 3:7

The main point of the Apostle’s Paul’s argument in the present passage is the superiority of faith over the Law. He has, however, also in view the mysterious consequences of that superiority. Unlike the Law, faith is open to all Gentiles as well as Jews; not according to the flesh, but according to the promise; and, consequently, that they are justified in the same way that he was. Abraham was justified by faith, and so are they. To confirm this, Paul acquaints us to the promise made to Abraham 
(Gen 12:3),In thee shall all nations be blessed.

This is a time to honor special people. Let’s see. People who are having birthdays are special. If you are having a birthday this week, this month or even this year, you are special! Let’s give everyone a special trophy, milk toast smile, a like sticker and a round of applause; as I lead the applause, I reflect on “Lil Hercules” a.k.a. “Eddie Klump Jr “from the “Nutty Professor” clapping and saying, “Hercules, Hercules” you are special, as we clap.

Did you know this is Chaos Never Dies Day? This day takes the stance that the perfect, quiet moment we’re all striving for and anticipating doesn’t- and likely never will exist, and that we should make the most of now, chaos-and all, and embrace the moment. Anyone wearing a Chaos shirt is special. You get a sticker and a round of applause,” Hercules, Hercules”. Are You Ready? Continue this Journey through Love

To honor someone is to value him highly or bestow value upon him. The Bible exhorts us to express honor and esteem toward certain people: our parents, the aged, and those in authority (Ephesians 6:2; Leviticus 19:32; Romans 13:1. But we must understand that all authority and honor belong to God alone (1Chronicles 29:11; 1 Timothy 1:17; Revelation 5:13)Though He can delegate His authority to others, it still belongs to Him (Ephesians 4:11-12).  

Honor as taught in the Scriptures is far different from the type of honor sought after by the world. Honor and awards are heaped upon those with wealth, political clout, worldly power, and celebrity status. Those who thrive on this world’s fleeting honor and stature are unmindful that “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble” 1 Peter 5:5.

Well, that’s it. I guess some of you are special and some of you aren’t so special, right? How will you respond?

Paul use to have that problem in his church. Some people said they were special because they were children of Abraham. They thought God loved them more than other people. But Paul said, “So you should know that the true children of Abraham are those who have faith. “That means all people who love and trust God are special.

God has given each of your special gifts. But what makes all of us special is that Jesus loves us. That means each one of you is very, very special. That’s why each one of you should have a sugar bear sticker, so from the bottom of my heart, I give you a hug with a smile that is God Honoring. 

We are to honor God in our recognition that the gift of life eternal and the very salvation of our souls come through Jesus Christ and Him alone (John 11:25). Knowing this, we give honor and obeisance to our Savior through our humble adoration and obedience to His will (1 John 2:6. As such, He will honor us when He seats us on His throne in heaven (Revelation 3:21).  

Jesus, we Love You. Oh, how we love you! “Give me my flowers as I yet live! No regrets.”

God Bless You and This Ministry!
