Today’s Message:One Thing is Needed

Share

bible

TODAY’S SCRIPTURE

“…You are worried and upset about many things, but few things are needed — or indeed only one. …”

(Luke 10:41–42, NIV)

TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria

Do you ever find that you have so much on your “to do” list that you don’t even know what to do next? The question is, is all of that really necessary? Scripture says there is only one thing needed in life and that is to sit at the feet of Jesus. When we sit in His presence, we get to know Him.

We hear His voice and He shows us the way that we should go. When we don’t take time for Him, that’s when we feel the cares and worries of the world.

Today, take a moment to evaluate how you are spending your time. Tune out unnecessary distractions and tune in to His voice. Make time for Him every single day because that is the one thing that is needed!

A PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father, today I choose to set my heart and mind on You. I choose to cast my cares and focus on what’s most important — hearing your voice so I can follow Your ways! In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

— Joel & Victoria Osteen

  1. For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that who so ever believe in him shall not perish…..but have an everlasting life.

    • Meanwhile, Joel and Victoria are sitting in your wallet. One day it’s ‘your best life now’, the next day it’s ‘sit at the fit of Jesus’. Please take your pick Mr Osteen.

  2. Amen.Thank you Lord Jesus 4 de gift of life upto today.I pray that u guide my life upto de i will depart from this world.

    • The monkey was climbing a vine to heaven. The monkey had followers. The monkey climbed and climbed, the monkey got so high that all was left to see was his tail. Then his tail disappeared into the sky. Then everyone (the followers) said the monkey must have made it to heaven. So the followers started climbing on the vine. Then the vine broke. Moments later the monkey came tumbling down. That is how religion is created. On blind faith. (monkey see monkey do)

    • According to the Ku Klux Klan, “Jesus was the first Klansman.

      The cross was henceforth a representation of the Klan’s Christian message.

  3. Religion is a load of shít. i cant believe the majority of the world believes this garbage even though it can be so easily dis proven.

    • I am not a religious person and certainly do not subscribe to any religion. However, it is rather foolish for you to arrogantly make claims which are not entirely absolute. On what grounds can you disprove Christianity? And please do not give empty statements of the bible being a tool written to control people. Do not give assumptions. I’m waiting.

  4. How is it that God’s people are in a constant state of needing miracles? Do Christians ever get in a position financially where they do not need a miracle? Is it that pastors need members to be sick and broke, just as a doctor need sick people in order to stay in business?

  5. Utter rubbish…every time I read these crooks messages Joel and co I’m reminded of horoscopes in newspapers.
    Africans study about self you are far much bigger than this nonsense, you are sons and daughters of kings and queens…your history is far much richer and older than this rubbish in the plagarised bible.

    Wake up!!

    • @Jay Jay I you enjoy reading such, you get pissed off everyday. Sata is working in you. You will definitely go to hell.

  6. Fúck God, all he ever gives us is shít – i’ve worked hard for what i have and so have my family

    Dear Christians , aren’t you a little too old to have an imaginary friend?

    • So you comment with numerous names so that we think that everyone who disagrees is as arrogant as you? Get a life dude.

  7. How Christianity Was Used To Brainwash Africans Into Submission

    Evangelize the niggers so that they stay forever in submission to the white colonialists, so they never revolt against the restraints they are undergoing. Recite every day-“Happy are those who are weeping because the kingdom of God is for them.”

    Convert always the blacks by using the whip. Keep their women in nine months of submission to work freely for us. Force them to pay you in sign of recognition-goats, chicken or eggs-every time you visit their villages. And make sure that niggers never become rich. Sing every day that it’s impossible for the rich to enter heaven.

    Make them pay tax each week at Sunday mass. Use the money supposed for the the poor, to build flourishing business centres.

  8. How Christianity Was Used To Brainwash Africans Into Submission

    Letter from King Leopold II of Belgium to Colonial Missionaries, 1883

    Institute a confessional system, which allows you to be good detectives denouncing any black that has a different consciousness contrary to that of the decision-maker. Teach the niggers to forget their heroes and to adore only ours. Never present a chair to a black that comes to visit you. Don’t give him more than one cigarette. Never invite him for dinner even if he gives you a chicken every time you arrive at his house.”

    Our reasoning has been psychologically compromised, our media are also not helping us, they are also in bondage.

  9. It is easy to brush off Christianity when you still have the breath of life in you. The truth is that, the day comes when you alone breaths your last. At that point, untold terror, anguish and total darkness totally engulfs every soul that is not secured with CHRIST. Remember, the soul (the real you) never dies, it merely departs from the body. Everyone shall partake of eternity but as to where your soul shall depend eternity depends on the choice one makes while in this present life.

    I pray for everyone reading this comment that because of CHRIST, may you find mercy and salvation of your soul before you breath your last in JESUS name!

    • RUBBISH!!

      Do you even know that most christian hymns like ” Amazing Grace” were written by slave masters to control Africans?

      Christianity was the slave masters religion that was FORCED on Africans using the gun and the whip!!!

    • “Give a man a fish, and he’ll eat for a day. Give a man a religion, and he’ll starve to death praying for fish.”
      “If God doesn’t like the way I live, let him tell me, not you.”

  10. We do not need a imaginary God that could no not help us anyway. Should there be a God, let that God help the world, it’s time.

  11. “Amazing Grace”—Americans’ favorite hymn according to the Gallup Poll—was written by the former captain of a slave ship. That “wretch,” John Newton, eventually became an Anglican minister and worked to abolish the slave trade.

    William Cowper, who wrote a classic hymn on God’s providence—“God Moves in a Mysterious Way His Wonders to Perform”—tried a number of times to commit suicide. He suffered from mental illness.

  12. @Jay Jay
    LOL. Its Sunday once again, and attention seeker and Racist Atheist entertainer Jay jay, who also blogs by a host of other pseudo names is at it again.
    To jay jay’s limited brain cells, Spiritual Apartheid for Black Africans is such a passionate obsession to advocate for that he would even blog to himself to simulate a different blogger agreeing with him. He has very poor understanding of Science, from the observable Universe down to Nanotechnology to help put the might of our supernatural God in context. And he freaks out and becomes very abusive when a Christian mentions God the Creator, the Bible, freedom of worship, One humanity. He is in denial, but calls it sharing. His mindset is selectively stuck in the pre 1970s with civil wars and KKK in USA, black slavery …..

    • Cont’d … slavery on earth. He avoids Nelson Mandela’s and Martin Luther King’s messages… etc
      LOL. Sundays would not be the same without jay jay the entertainer.

      @jay jay, listen, there is no shame in seeing your Doctor about these mind seizures and of yours that make you freak out like this.

    • “Find me some ghost sperm and show me how one survives rigor mortis “stiffnes of death” and I will become a believer.

    • Ba Cactus..
      Please grow up and stop making wild accusations surely do you seriously think I would use such profanity to put across a point like is being submitted by one blogger using different names in the thread….if you read this every Sunday you would know better.

  13. The unchangeable fact both from the philosophical and scientific point of view is:-
    We are all created with a free will, and therefore we are very free to question things, even the very existence of God.
    “Seek and you shall find” Matthew 7:7 and Jeremiah 29:13, Or “As man thinks, so he becomes” Proverbs 23: v7, so the scripture says.
    Or “Whatever your mind can conceive and believe it can achieve” Napoleon Hill.
    Or talk to some wise elders in your family with a wealth of experience in life.
    Little knowledge is dangerous because you can mislead yourself. Using the latest technology, current science recognises the existence of a supernatural existence – ( i.e. a Creator whom I call the Almighty God).
    So, whether you are trying to understand electrons in a molecule in Nanotech…

    • Cont’d … Nanotechnology, Or where ‘m’ came from in the equation E=mc2, Or why the spiral line on a snail’s shell in your garden is identical mathematically to the spiral in the Milky way of our Galaxy, Or what caused ‘The Big Bang’?, Or how many universes (multi-verse) are there? etc.. modern Science acknowledges supernatural existence. Period. whether we like it or not.

  14. @ hide & seek, from just the high rate of rotation and expansion of galaxies, scientists know that their is ‘ something ‘ bigger out there that we can’t see accounting for such.

    This something is labelled ‘ Dark matter (25%) and dark energy(70%) ‘ because they can’t see or sufficiently explain it. The stars, planets make up a remaining scanty 5% of the mass of the universe. From E = mc2, mass and energy are inter – convertible.

    It can be seen that the observable universe came from invisible dark energy and dark matter. While science call it dark energy, I call it Spiritual Energy because the bible tells me this world came from the Spiritual.

    We will not yet see ghost sperm until we manage to see the mysterious dark energy and dark matter. We perceive ghost sperm and see…

  15. … the resulting product, Christ, just like scientists perceive the existence of dark matter/energy and only see their effects on the galaxies.
