Happy Sunday, Family!!

Ephesians 6:12-13 (NKJV)

12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age,^[a] against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. source

Scripture of the Day...

Luke 2:11-14 (NKJV)

11 For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. 12 And this will be the sign to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a manger.”
13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying:
14 “ Glory to God in the highest,
And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!”[a]

File This Under: Hat's Off to Jacqueline Huggins-Bible Translator!

AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMAN SPENDS MORE THAN 20 YEARS TRANSLATING BIBLE: Jacqueline Huggins is first Black woman to complete a New Testament translation.
source

This year, Jacqueline Huggins, through her involvement in translating the New Testament into the Filipino Kagayanen language, will become the:

* World's first African-American female to ever complete a New Testament translation.

* First African-American to complete a New Testament translation since the early 1900s (Efrain Alphonse completed the Valiente New Testament).

* First African-American with Wycliffe bible translators to ever complete a New Testament translation.

In 1986, 36-year-old Huggins, a Philadelphia-born linguistics and Bible translation specialist, headed off to the Philippines on assignment with Wycliffe Bible Translators. She would spend more than 20 years translating the New Testament into the Kagayanen language, which is spoken by some 25,000. Now, with the Kagayanen translation complete, the first copies of the New Testament are expected to be delivered in February 2008.

According to Huggins the work was accomplished through the combined efforts of a team of three translators and three support staff. It is a diverse team-Asian, African- American and Caucasian-made up of Americans, Malaysian Chinese and Singaporean Chinese.

"I knew God was calling me to Scripture translation. Incredibly, one church leader attempted to discourage me from pursuing that call, saying 'You won't be accepted by Wycliffe because you are black. And you are a female,'" Huggins recounts. "It became clear that divine intervention brought this diverse team together - with our distinct gifts and abilities - to complete the translation project and serve those who speak the Kagayanen language."

Well there's good, bad and good in this article:

God's Daily Word

*NOTE: PEOPLE MAY BE OFFENDED BY THE FOLLOWING SCRIPTURE. DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT BECOME ALARMED.

"Do justice to the weak (poor) and fatherless; maintain the rights of the afflicted and needy. Deliver the poor and needy; rescue them out of the hand of the wicked. " (Psalms 82: 3,4) Amplified Bible

******************************

Brethren, instead of helping the rich get richer (televangelists, fraudulent ministries) you can direct your money to a family in need, a shelter, a soup kitchen. That action would be keeping in line with the scripture above. How about following the actual bible, instead??

You betta recognize, the BIBLE will guide you in all truths. NOT your favorite profit, or profitess.

How Timely is this Daily Verse??

Think about Mychal Bell, and yourself when you're going through trials and tribulations. AND YES, that is part of being a Christian! This causes us to depend on Christ, not ourself. Marinate and apply this scripture in your life. TGIF!!

"For we do not want you to be uninformed, brethren, about the affliction and oppressing distress which befell us in [the province of] Asia, how we were so utterly and unbearably weighed down and crushed that we despaired even of life [itself]. Indeed, we felt within ourselves that we had received the [very] sentence of death, but that was to keep us from trusting in and depending on ourselves instead of on God Who raises the dead. "
2 Corinthians 1:8-9 (Amplified Bible)

You betta recognize the only one who can deliver you- Christ!

Only Because I'm Trying to Please YOU Lord!!

To set the tone of your busy day, marinate and apply the bible verse that has LITERALLY saved the lives (and they're none the wiser) of hateful bosses, annoying co-workers, disrespectful customers, rude drivers, loud neighbors, church members, and unnappreciative children. Because if we don't continue to pray FOR OURSELVES...well, let's remember that we're new creatures in Christ Jesus, amen?

"Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right, persevering, and steadfast spirit within me. "
Psalm 51:10 (amplified bible)

source: Christ Notes

The fruit of the Spirit we're focusing on for the remainder of this month is: Self-Control

******Gal. 5:22,23- "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law." (NKJV)*****

Just some spiritual food to start the day off right!

Fam, You betta recognize-He is STILL the King on the throne!!
