“[Lay Up Treasures in Heaven] “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”


INVEST WISELY........ CHOOSE JESUS CHRIST AS YOUR PERSONAL SAVIOR!!! GOD BLESS.

“for in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through faith. For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.”

“Do all things without grumbling or disputing, that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, holding fast to the word of life, so that in the day of Christ I may be proud that I did not run in vain or labor in vain.”

In the face of difficulties,we tend to forget the promises of God.

But Remember

" And all things, whatsoever you shall ask in prayer,believing,you shall receive." St. Matthew 21:22

I HEARD A PREACHER SAY THE OTHER DAY OUR TROUBLES AND TRYLES WERE NOT FOR US TO LOOK DOWN AT OURSELVES BUT FOR US TO LOOK UP TO THE LORD FOR HIS HELP,I DO BELIEVE THIS IS TRUE HE WANTS US TO LOOK TO HIM WHEN WE ARE IN NEED NO MATTER WHAT KIND OF TROUBLE WE ARE HAVING.
