God as Your Light by LaKisha M. Johnson Genesis 1: 14-19 “And God said, “Let there be lights in the vault of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark sacred times, and days and years, and let them be lights in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth. And it was so. God made two great lights-the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars. God set them to vault of the sky to gi

God as Your Producer by LaKisha M. Johnson Genesis 1: 11-13 “Then God said, “Let the land produce vegetation; seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds. And it was so. The land produced vegetation: plants bearing see in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good. “ God is your producer, meaning that God has the ability to “cause” a thing to manifest or happen. He put everything in this earth to p

Genesis 1: 1 “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth”. Dear Friend, Today let's establish our relationship with God, understanding who He is and who He was to come. It is easy to get “stale” in any relationship. However, it is a desire growing in His people, to fall in love with Him all over again. While the bible is broken into chapters it is really a romance novel, that is built on a series of events. Often people don’t understand the significance of the Ol

What’s In A Name…. By LaKisha M. Johnson Series: From Boys to Men 1 Chronicles 4:9, “Jabez was more honorable than his brothers. His mother had named him Jabez, saying, "I gave birth to him in pain." I am sure that Jabez’s mom wasn’t thinking about the significance of her actions, I am sure she just thought about her present situation. Her birth of Jabez reminded her of a painful moment in her life, and so she wanted to mark that with a memory, with a name. The significant pa

Let Them Rule and Dominate the Earth…. By LaKisha M. Johnson Series: From Boys to Men Proverbs 22:6, “ Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.” I remember this popular nursery rhyme as I was growing up: What are little boys made of? What are little boys made of? Snips and snails And puppy-dogs' tails That's what little boys are made of The second part of the rhyme told us what little girls were made of, I don’t thin

The Holy Ghost Don’t Need No Help ….…. By LaKisha M. Johnson Romans 8:26, “Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groaning’s too deep for words.” I remember I was trying to make something happen, I couldn’t understand why and how it was happening the way that it was happening. So I thought I could force the way that it should go. I was getting frustrated, I didn’t have peace

Dear Friend, I wrote this several years ago, but it still applies to today..... Your Spiritual Workout ….…. By LaKisha M. Johnson James 5:16, “Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.” Recently I had begun to work out differently using weights. I have always thought I was pretty strong naturally, I assumed because I was able to move and lift certain things, that I posse

Where Are You Giving? ….…. By LaKisha M. Johnson Proverbs 31:20, “She opens her arms to the poor and extends her hands to the needy.” What motivates you to give? When do you give? Do you have a to reason to give? Do you give only because it “looks” like, someone needs you to give? Are you sensitive enough to the voice of God, to give when God says give? Do you only give, when God says give? I remember one day I was in the gym and my boys had a basketball game. There was a l

Dear Friend, Psalms 139:13, “For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful I know that I am full well." I am a little bit older than most people think. I remember when we were in school, if we wanted to make a copy of something; we had to use carbon copy paper. We would slide the copy paper in between the original piece of paper and the copy paper. Although the copy

It’s Working for You ….…. By LaKisha M. Johnson Galatians 6:9 “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” I remember I signed up with this program to work out for 120 days in a row. It was a full circuit body training program. I had to sign a contract that agreed to work the program and not give up. The program required us to track our eatingad work out Monday-Friday at 5:00 am. The program was free, the contrac
