Bishop Thomas Wesley Weeks, Sr

The Lord’s great gift to us is not a road map for our lives but a relationship with him. Thus we do not trust a map or plan, we trust the relationship. A strong relationship with Jesus will produce the confidence and faith to obey his commands and follow his footsteps.

“I am not alone.” Those words will always change your attitude towards any situation you are facing. Just like the younger brother feels when facing a bully knowing his older brother is about to show up. You and I have an almighty God who promised never to leave us alone.

Here are 2 gauges to measure your maturity. How many people know your business. If you got to tell the world your business (social media) every time you feel pain, you have not grown up. Always angry. You should not feel it necessary to react to every perceived offense.

Faith begins my journey in the unseen with the unseen God. My relationship with him is beyond the limits of the seen. This is why I can’t listen to a man’s limited advice about a “beyond the limit” promise of God. Your friends do not see what you believe.

The choices you make becomes the life you live. Bad and terrible things come to all of us. The decisions we make in the midst of these situations define our lives. The right decision can always be found in the will of God. Through prayer always seek God’s will and never go wrong

The one thing your prayer should be desiring is the will of God. There cannot be a better outcome to prayer other than God’s wisdom and love being performed in your life. When God answers you should rejoice.

Why am I being tested? Because God wants me to have another testimony. God knows I can pass the test. The true challenge is to know what God knows and that happens when I love God and he reveals his will accordingly. The test becomes fun when you already know the answer.

You are not exempt from a bad day. They will come. However, you have a promise that Jesus will be with you every step of the way. Know this: if Jesus is in the boat with you, it is impossible for the boat to sink. You can rejoice even in the midst of trouble.

When you walk in your certainty, you have confined yourself to a very small space. However, when you learn to walk in your uncertainty while trusting God’s guidance, a world of possibilities are now yours. Simply put in Isaiah 55:8,9 the Lord informs us. His thoughts and ways

My joy is connected to not what I see but to what I believe. What I believe is the Word of God and that Word is like a seed when planted that brings forth an harvest. There will be a time when the seed is not seen but it will be still accomplishing its mission. Trust the seed!

When God gives you a Word, it is a done deal. Follow it to the T. Do not deviate or alter it. It becomes your hope until God brings it to pass. Do not disbelieve or doubt it like Israel and end up wondering forty years in the wilderness. Rather be determined

When the righteous thrive, the people rejoice; when the wicked rule, the people groan. Proverbs 29:2

This is the short version of living a successful life. 1. Know the will of God for your life. 2. Agree with the will of God. 3. Pray daily for it to become a reality in your life.

I fully understand why God mandated a Sabbath rest for us. Rest will birth new life.

This is how you know you have been blessed by God. He favors you by giving you what you did not earn and He extends mercy by not giving you what you did deserve. God’s love for us is immeasurable.

Our decisions are based on principles that we have adopted. The best principles are truths. You will not go wrong basing your decisions on truths that you have adopted from the Bible. Read your Bible daily and adopt its truths. Then you will be able to live your best life.

We were created by God to rule and prosper. Don’t let habits or desires rule your life. You have the ability and authority to say no to anything that is not for your good. Decide your path forward. Poverty is not your portion. Seed time and harvest is your inheritance.

Knowing someone’s love language is essential to developing a meaningful relationship. It may be affirmative or touch or gifts that rings the bell. Jesus made it very clear what rings his bell. He says in John 14:15, if you love me, keep my commandments. Obedience is his language.

Lessons of life 1. Know the voice of God and seek it before every major decision. 2. Love God, yourself and others. 3. Treat people like how you want to be treated. 4. Master money rather than it master you. 5 Marriage should not be based on sex but rather compatibility.

Successful marriages are built on shared expectations. Every courtship should entertain a number of discussions around what each individual is expecting out of the marriage. Each partner should be very clear on what they are expecting and when they are expecting it. Communicate.
