Black History Month: The Black women who made me feel proud to be a black woman

Music was once my aspiration. I was going be a famous singer like Diana Ross from the singing group, The Supreme and Donna Summer the Disco Queen. Even though they were black women their voices was not like that of typical black women from back in those days. Accused of wanting to be more white women than black as I remembered was the controversy about these two singers. To me they are beatiful women, I admired and looked up to them as professionals and gifted at what they do, which to me was amazing and brilliant. They not only made history with their talents, but paved a way for the generations of other black women. As it is called today, they are game changers. They redefined typical black women in the music entertainment industry. I love these women and had spend most of my childhood and adolescence wanting to immulate everything about them as singers.

Oprah Winfrey, talk show host, television producer, actress, author, and philanthropist. Also a history maker, North America first black mulit-billionaire, and ranked the greatest black philanthropist in American history. Oprah being authentic herself, as I watched and listen to her, a black woman who broke down barriers where it had at one time seems to be impossible for anyone black to accomplish. I admire and love her for being God gift to us. She is beautiful inside and out; educated, intelligent, spiritual…

Michelle Obama, the first black woman to be the First Lady of America to be the queen of The White House. What a position held, and she did it with such class and dignity. Beside every good man is a strong, intelligent and amazing woman. To me  she was created by God for her role to stand with her President  husband. A wife and mother, also mother to the nation, she took on her responsibilities. She made me proud to be a black woman because she represented us all with such excellence.

Mrs Serita Jakes, wife, mother, author, speaker and visionary, executive director of women’s and children’s affairs at The Potter’s House. Mrs. Jakes, wife of Bishop Tdjakes, what a position she holds. This is a big lifetime commitment to God and her husband, in which she does so well. “To whom much is given, much is required” according to scriptures and she shows by standing besides her husband to be the First Lady of a Mega Church she’s got what it takes. When you’re a faithful person in God, you know that there are natural and spiritual battles you encounter in your walk and you’ve got to be able to put on the Armor of God not just to protect yourself, husband and children, but also your spiritual children of all race. You have a responsibility that keeps you on your knees in prayer and she is ever so faithful. It’s plain to see she is always there to support and comfort. She’s to be lifted up in prayer, and honoured for such a call by the Lord on her life that she does with grace and love. She’s the perfect example like Mother Mary to say to give God consent, “Let it be unto me according to thy word.”

There’s so many influential black women in the world that makes me proud, but I can only mention a few. I thank God for everyone of them.

Don’t get it twisted, not everyone who’s hated by the world is chosen by God

John 15:19 If you were of the world, the world would love his own: but because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.

People we must get it through our heads, there are bad people in the world that has done some real evil things and shows no remorse for it. We’ve got to be discerning. We must not confuse bad for good. Pray for the spirit of truth to reveal if someone is being hated for being chosen by God and not just because of jealousy and envy, wicked and evil deeds, religion, race, sexual orientation, gender, social status, the way you look, dress…and the list goes on. Lord have mercy on humanity.

The character of a person says a lot about them. Read your Bible, see if anything about a persons characteristic you’ve chosen to look upon as a servant of God is like that of Jesus. Remember the devil is not only a tempter, but a liar and a deceiver. Anything that is written in the word of God he mocks, by using it to do evil deeds, by deceiving especially the faithful. But God is not going to let it go on.

From today on the salvation of the Lord is at hand in the earth for all his chosen. He’s calling them from blindness into revelation sight. Are you blind ?

Pick a side! “You can’t play nice on both sides just to get what you want”

Well I believed once upon a time I could of play both sides. And I saw it as keeping the peace and whatever it takes to get the job done. But when you are called by the Lord to be on his side, to keep peace and attain whatever he desires of you, you must sacrifice. Without sacrifice there’s no gain. It is fear that motivates us to play both sides. But it takes faith in God to allow us to get the victory and to accomplish whatever is desired.

It’s a lie we tell ourselves when we try dancing with the devil and then singing in God’s choir of worship. Be truthful to God and ourselve, because the only way is God’s. Jesus says to take up our cross and follow him, and don’t try to save our life, Matthew 16:24-26. He didn’t say be him, in which we can never be. If it requires sacrifice of ourselves to be left out in the cold by the world, then so be it. Scriptures declares, “what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?

Pick a side! There’s no middle when comes to the Lord’s business. You’re either on the Lord’s our the world’s. The kingdom of the Lord has come and it is within us all who was set aside for God’s purpose.

Black History Month: The History continues

As I’ve sat and watched the 2nd impeachment of former President Trump, I couldn’t help but wonder if the result would of been the same if it was President Barack Obama in that position. I don’t want to make it out to be like I am making this a racial issue, but let us be truthful when looking deeply within our hearts and minds with all honesty. A brother with an inferiority complex feels like he would of been crucified if it was him and a white man if racist would feel entitled to want to crucify the black man for his actions. Why? Because he’d believes it confirms, blacks are beneath the expectations of humanity in his being, as he having a superiority complex. “Lord have mercy on us all!”

I cried out to God simply because I wanted truth and righteousness to prevail. I wanted a guilty verdict according to the evidences. I want for when I am trying to teach and convince people doing right and speaking truth, God would be on our side and we shall be victorious over the enemy. I cried, ” God how could you let this happen, when the evidence proved other wise!” I almost fell from grace when I thought then the truth does really set us free. “The devil is a liar, because it was not God’s judgement but man’s.” God’s judgements is seen heard and felt by the world. God’s truth and righteousness opens blind eyes to see and brings us out of darkness. This was all a cover up and a lie by the enemy. But when the spirit of truth reveals himself, the Holy Ghost comes forth, this I know he’ll bring down all the lie.

An impeachment acquital with evidence of undoubtedly guilt. I couldn’t help but think about Bill Crosby, a black man history maker and I cried. His judgement, guilty or not, I can’t throw a stone, for I am not without sin, I believe belongs to God not me, I saw no evidences. It is Black History Month and he’s not mentioned and I wept sadly. Why? Because in man’s judgements they said crucify him for his past, in which he change around for the good. When he was a child he did as a child, but when he became a man he had put away childish things. But, yet he has been stripped from the crown of his head to the sole of his feet and nailed to the cross. He being like the thief that was crucified beside Jesus on the cross at Calvary (Luke 23:39-43) who’d asked to be with him when he gets to paradise and Jesus said, surely he’ll be. In other words he paid his price for his sins, he’s on the cross. I don’t think anyone who had nailed him to the cross remember the ultimate price he paid was the lost of his only son. I pray God deliver him and he’s given a pardon to live out his days so he can continue to do good in the world and make a difference. He can become from a Saul to a Paul in the sight of God, not man. Jeremiah 17:10 “I the Lord, search the heart, I test the mind, even to give to each man according to his ways, according to the results of his of his deeds. Lord hear my prayer!

I believe we should forgive each other for the sins we’ve committed and show mercy, as we’ll also want mercy to be shown unto us. Know that whatever you do for others you do also for yourself as well, for the will of God and to him (Matthew 25:40 “whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.” Pray to God for deliverance of deliberate sinners, the bible calls presumptuous. There’s nothing you can do for them other than putting them in the hands of God, by prayer and faith, especially when they’ve done something so unforgivable.

There’s no discrmination when our conduct as human beings not a race, wrong is just wrong we do, “it is called sin people, and it’s within us all, we are born into it.” We all sin and fall short, it’s human nature, stop throwing stones at race.

Black History Month: Still in the wilderness of racism

The promised land filled with milk and honey, still trying to get there concerning racism and equality for all. The ideology of the white supremacist like the many sins of us humanity, continues to fester which has us caught up going around in a never ending circle, leaving us to remain in that wilderness. Until racism is completely eradicated from the genealogy of those who are racists, we’ll never be ready to enter the promise land as one big happy family.

Racism must come to an end, it is a sin. It is giving negative energy power to infiltrate the minds of the weak. When we begin to understand the true teachings of Jesus, number one, God alone is sovereign and second humanity is flawed and is in need of salvation. No human race is more supiror than another. We are all sinners, the reason Jesus came into the world to save us all. If we’d be obedient and follow Him, not each other, we’ll be over comers of all our weaknesses especially the ability resist the devil. There’s an evil in the world and we can subdue it, from our lives. Disobedience is what causes us to sin and the devil, well, he tempts us.

The world is the Lord’s and we are All his children created in his image, whether we believe in him or not, good or bad, beautiful or ugly…whatever! I truly believe humanity can be exactly what God has created us to be, without sin. Consecrate our lives to the Lord, stand together with discipline of mind, heart and body, to be concious of our actions, confess our wrongs and be determined to respect, and accept all people and do unto them as we’d truly want done unto ourselves is the beginning to get us out of this circling in this wilderness of racism. We’ve come a long way, but still a victory for us to completely get, equality.

Black History Month

Not to be ignorant, but has this celebration been getting the recognition needed in the sense of changing lives where racism is concerned? Many American Caucasian believe this to be giving black people privilege because of their color. Some don’t understand the United Negro College Fund is granted for better education for blacks and by no means racist, segregationist. I understand it is educational giving knowledge of the history of brown skin that they are human beings and not just to be enslaved and treated like an animal, especially in United States of America.

Neighboring countries like Canada to America and now recent countries like the United Kingdom, Ireland, and the Netherlands are all acknowledging Black History month. Whenever blacks are attack by racism for some reason all other race is also affected. Racism isn’t just a black thing!

It’s sad, the thought of celebrating Black History Month, instead of acknowledging all the great accomplishments, every year it a constant reminder of racism, and civil rights movement. The unrest with police brutality, shootings and killing of blacks another form of lynching in the millennium. The blatant boldness of the treatment of blacks in millennium is like lessons will never be learnt about racism concerning black people. It seems like an never ending battle, blacks will never get a seat at the table of equality.
