Message: Are You Prepared?By Elder Kelvin Gilmore

Greetings  to all of  my Brothers and Sisters in Christ. God loves you and so do I. Thought for today. A teenage son may approach his father to ask him to buy his first car. The father would in turn ask the son, “ Do you know how to drive?” The teenage son would say, “no”. The father would tell the son,” first ask me to teach you how drive before you ask me for a car”. Likewise, we as children of God often ask God for blessings that we are not prepared for. It is wiser to ask God to prepare us to receive his blessings first. Ex. If I want God to send me  a wife who has a gentle spirit, God fearing, loving and kind, I would first ask God to prepare me to be this kind of man before I ask  to receive such a wife. Please take notice that preparation for God’s blessings is usually a painful process so get ready to go through some trials to receive what you ask for. I declare and decree that I will ask God to prepare me to receive his blessings before I ask him for the blessing. May God Bless you and your family Eternally.Poem of Today:  The blessings of God are given to those who are prepared. They are not given to those who are motivational impaired.
For many have goals that they have set. But most will see their dreams sadly unmet.
Why..is it because no one told them to prepare? Did they close their eyes hoping that their dreams will be there?
Blessings will come to those who are prepared to receive. But one must first know that all things are possibile to them that believe.
It is written, that we must believe that God is a rewarder to them that seek him. Trusting God to do the impossible is our assurance that we will never sink but swim.
An umbrella is needed when rain is expected. Likewise, preparation is normal when blessings are projected.
Will you be in the group of children of God that receives his very best? Or will you be in the group who continues to fail the preparation test?  Prayer for Today: Heavenly Father, prepare us to be vessels of light to shine continuously for your Glory, magnifying Jesus in all that we do. Thank You, Father. In Jesus Name. Amen.
