Romans 13:8-14 ¶
Owe nothing to anyone except to love one another;
for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.
For this,
“YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT ADULTERY,
YOU SHALL NOT MURDER,
YOU SHALL NOT STEAL,
YOU SHALL NOT COVET,”
and if there is any other commandment,
it is summed up in this saying,
“YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.”
Love does no wrong to a neighbor;
therefore, love is the fulfillment of the law.
¶ Do this, knowing the time, that it is already the hour for you to awaken from sleep;
for now, salvation is nearer to us than when we believed.
The night is almost gone, and the day is near.
Therefore, let us lay aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light.
Let us behave properly as in the day,
not in carousing and drunkenness,
not in sexual promiscuity and sensuality,
not in strife and jealousy.
But put on the Lord Jesus Christ,
and make no provision for the flesh in regard to its lusts.

1Timothy 6:1-2
¶ All who are under the yoke as slaves
are to regard their own masters as worthy of all honor
so that the name of God and our doctrine will not be spoken against.
Those who have believers as their masters must not be disrespectful to them because they are brethren,
but must serve them all the more,
because those who partake of the benefit are believers and beloved.
Teach and preach these principles.
Principle (1)
1Timothy 6:3-10
¶ If anyone advocates a different doctrine and does not agree with sound words,
those of our Lord Jesus Christ,
and with the doctrine conforming to godliness,
he is conceited and understands nothing;
but he has a morbid interest in controversial questions and disputes about words,
out of which arise envy, strife, abusive language, evil suspicions,
and constant friction between men of depraved mind and deprived of the truth,
who suppose that godliness is a means of gain.
But godliness actually is a means of great gain when accompanied by contentment.
For we have brought nothing into the world,
so we cannot take anything out of it either.
If we have food and covering, with these we shall be content.
But those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a snare and many foolish and harmful desires which plunge men into ruin and destruction.
For the love of money is a root of all sorts of evil,
and some by longing for it have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.
Principle (2)
1Timothy 6:11-16
¶ But flee from these things, you man of God, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, perseverance and gentleness.
Fight the good fight of faith;
take hold of the eternal life to which you were called,
and you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.
I charge you in the presence of God,
who gives life to all things,
and of Christ Jesus,
who testified the good confession before Pontius Pilate,
that you keep the commandment without stain or reproach until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ,
which He will bring about at the proper time—He who is the blessed and only Sovereign,
the King of kings and Lord of lords,
who alone possesses immortality and dwells in unapproachable light,
whom no man has seen or can see.
To Him be honor and eternal dominion! Amen.
Principle (3)
1Timothy 6:17-19
¶ Instruct those who are rich in this present world not to be conceited or to fix their hope on the uncertainty of riches,
but on God, who richly supplies us with all things to enjoy.
Instruct them to do good,
to be rich in good works,
to be generous and ready to share,
storing up for themselves the treasure of a good foundation for the future,
so that they may take hold of that which is life indeed.
Principle (4)
1Timothy 6:20-21
¶ O Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to you,
avoiding worldly and empty chatter and the opposing arguments of what is falsely called “knowledge”— which some have professed and thus gone astray from the faith.
Grace be with you.

Things to consider and live by;
1. Godliness actually is a means of great gain when accompanied by contentment.
2. If we have food and covering, with these we shall be content.
3. the love of money is a root of all sorts of evil
4. flee from these things, you man of God, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, perseverance and gentleness
5. Fight the good fight of faith
6. keep the commandment without stain or reproach until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ,
7. guard what has been entrusted to you avoiding worldly and empty chatter and the opposing arguments of what is falsely called “knowledge”—which some have professed and thus gone astray from the faith
Put your faith in Christ Jesus and seek first His kingdom and His righteousness.
Store up your treasure in Heaven not on this earth.
Be content with what Father God gives you, if you do so He will give you more,
but remember you can’t take it with you when you pass out of this world.

GOD has given us another opportunity,
Now is not the time to set back and let the elected do our job.
Now is the time for Christians to step up and do what is right.
Read your bible and seek first GOD's kingdom and His righteousness,
Be the man or woman your GOD were created to be.
Do the right thing and spread the world of GOD to the world.
Do not just go to church and fill a seat,
for if that is all you are going to do YOU do not deserve the win,
Go out and get involved,
seek the will of GOD ask Christ what you can do and then go do it.
Freedom has to be fought for and fought to be keep.

Psalm 33:18-22
Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear Him,
On those who hope for His lovingkindness,
To deliver their soul from death
And to keep them alive in famine.
Our soul waits for the LORD;
He is our help and our shield.
For our heart rejoices in Him,
Because we trust in His holy name.
Let Your lovingkindness, O LORD, be upon us,
According as we have hoped in You.
Psalm 23
The LORD is my shepherd,
I shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside quiet waters.
He restores my soul;
He guides me in the paths of righteousness
For His name’s sake.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I fear no evil, for You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You have anointed my head with oil;
My cup overflows.
Surely goodness and lovingkindness will follow me all the days of my life,
And I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
{{{{
Thank you, O God, for your lovingkindness,
For sending Christ Jesus to be my shepherd,
And for Your Holy Spirit to lead me,
to teach me and to guide me through the valleys of life Providing all i need to survive in You.
For You are my protection in times of trouble,
You are my refuge and straight.
Your Rod and Your Staff You use for my good
And i except your guidance and discipline
GOD’s rod is used to fight off the evil one and to direct those who are His.
His rod prodded those who are His during the day and at night.
Those who are willing to be led by Him will respond to His prodding,
but a stubborn, the strong-willed will not.
O Lord my GOD soften my heart that i may always be willing to be led by Your Holy Spirit.
James 4:10
Humble yourselves in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you.

Colossians 3:18-25
Wives, be subject to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.
Husbands, love your wives and do not be embittered against them.
Children, be obedient to your parents in all things, for this is well-pleasing to the Lord.
Fathers, do not exasperate your children, so that they will not lose heart.
Slaves, in all things obey those who are your masters on earth, not with external service, as those who merely please men, but with sincerity of heart, fearing the Lord.
Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord rather than for men,
knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance.
It is the Lord Christ whom you serve.
For he who does wrong will receive the consequences of the wrong which he has done, and that without partiality.
{{{{
What ever your place in life may be whether you are a Wives, Husbands, Children, Fathers or Slaves Fulfill your life by serving Christ our Lord.
Consider others better than yourself,
Treat them as if they were Christ Himself.
Set out each day to serv Him by serving others.
And then this can be your story.
Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!
Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine!
Heir of salvation, purchase of God,
Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood.
This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Savior all the day long;
This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Savior all the day long.
Perfect submission, perfect delight,
Visions of rapture now burst on my sight;
Angels, descending, bring from above
Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.
Perfect submission, all is at rest,
I in my Savior am happy and blest,
Watching and waiting, looking above,
Filled with His goodness, lost in His love.

remember if you are spending your days serving yourself,
you have no assurance,
and upon His return; you will have nothing.
Chose this day who you will serve.
If it be Men, wealth, position, self; you will reap destruction.
If it be Christ the LORD, it will be that blessed assurance.
An assurance that no mater what may take place in your life or this world; Christ Jesus will keep His promises.
And your eternity will be spent with Him in His Kingdome.
Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!
Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine!
Heir of salvation, purchase of God,
Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood.
This is my story Is it yours?
