MY FRIENDS, DO YOU HAVE THE AFTER THANKSGIVING DAY BLUES?

MY FRIENDS, DO YOU HAVE THE AFTER THANKSGIVING DAY BLUES?

It’s great being a child of God, we are so blessed. Yesterday our tables, had an avalanche of ever kind of delicacy imaginable, most of us will be eating left overs for days. With Christmas a month away, the year ends, then we start the madness all over again, starting Jan 1, 2015.

The process is maddening. Our lives, decade after decade are constantly in a state of zombinism, whose lives are forever manipulated by government and corporate advertisers that guides our lives through some type of never ending maze.

And behind door number 1, 2 and 3 is Satan’s desire that we all lose sight of Christ saving grace, while we squander away this probationary period on this journey Christ has placed us on. My friends “almost $4 billion was spent for this year’s midterm election, the Center for Responsive Politics projected.

The candidates and parties alone combined and spent about $2.7 billion, while outside groups likely spent close to $900 million on their own.” My friends what gives me the after Thanksgiving Day blues, Rome is burning, and worldwide, millions, mostly kids went to bed hungry Nov. 27, 2014, as others mock.

“On the eve of Thanksgiving, Fox News pundit Andrea Tantaros mockingly dismissed the plight of hungry Americans, claiming that she would “look fabulous” if she were forced to live on a food stamp diet.” My friends,  iniquity abounds, and I would imagine at, before the flood and Sodom and Gomorrah proportions.

The love of many continues to wax colder and colder. What is amazing the majority of our churches are caught up into this madness? Friends where is our leadership. But as God’s chosen how can we complain if we sit on the side line, each year, waiting until one day, someone sprinkles dust over our caskets, while repeating the words, ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

The god of this world keeps us so occupied with our day to day activities, we lose sight of Matt. 25:31-36 (NKJV) where Christ tells us “When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory.

All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats. And He will set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left.

Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.”

My friends when God separates the flock what side will we be on. Today we are on a spiritual battleground, but we remain so consumed by our lives from day to day we fail to recognize the plight of anyone beyond our residency.

But thank God, for his grace and mercy, today, we all have to make it personal, what am I going to do tomorrow. We all have various things in our life that consumes our time, I am a student, but I cannot allow that, or anything else, to come between what God’s will for me is, in finishing up his mandate here on earth.

If we seek God’s kingdom, we all have to make a consorted effort, not with ourselves, or the church, or our families and friends, but with God, the One who sits on the right side our father, the One who at this moment is advocating on our behalf.

The One who mediates daily to the Father, telling Him “I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me.”  My friends let’s not let another day go by where those words are meaningless. Let’s all “seek first, God’s kingdom” with a passion.

As this battle rages on, let’s look to the “author and finisher of our faith,” until we here, “Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.” Matt. 25:21(ESV)

So my friends today. Stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
