The much anticipated program "And Cushi
Came" organized by the New
Testament Church of God 20th St.
Philadelphia came up on Saturday January 17.
It was quite phenomenal, and the people who
attended have not stopped talking about it.
Dr. Brown took the audience into one
of the most thorough exegesis of the Bible to
show that the black race is not cursed; he
also established the several important roles
the black man has played at sundry times in
the bible. Finally, he showed what the place
of the black man would be in Gods end-time
agenda, and tied it up prophetically to the
unfolding events in the U.S and other parts
of the world.
It was a very explosive adventure in
the Word!

"And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings, he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to pray. And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering" (Luke 9:28-29).

Hope Alive.
"Turn you to the strong hold, ye
prisoners of hope: even to day do I
declare that I will render double unto
thee." (Zechariah 9:12).
As human beings we often get overwhelmed by
situations of despair and desperation, and by
situations of pessimism and hopelessness. As
individuals, as a people and sometimes as
nations we get completely bogged down by
the things we are going through so much so
that we fret and despair for life. This is
the pattern we see all around us and all
through the scriptures.
Sometimes, like Zion, we feel
forgotten and
forsaken: "... But Zion said, The LORD hath
forsaken me, and my Lord hath
forgotten me."
(Isa. 49:14).
At other times, like Jonah, we just
completely throw in the towel, and even have
a death wish!: "...And it came to pass,
when
the sun did arise, that God prepared a
vehement east wind; and the sun beat upon the
head of Jonah, that he fainted, and wished in
himself to die, and said, It is better for me
to die than to live." (Jonah 4:8).
This is exactly the way several
people have
been feeling in the light of recent
challenges revolving around jobs, finances,
the mortgage crises, the economic downturn
worldwide, wars, diseases, natural disasters,
and a whole host of other happenings.
However, as a new American president
is sworn
in today, it is my persuasion that though the
feeling of hopelessness and imprisonment may
prevail in many quarters, the truth is that
we are not really hopeless prisoners. The
Holy Book says that we are prisoners with
hope; hallelujah!
There is hope for you beloved; there
is hope
for our nation; there is hope for the world!
"...For there is hope of a tree,
if it be cut
down, that it will sprout again, and that the
tender branch thereof will not cease. For to
him that is joined to all the living there is
hope: for a living dog is better than a dead
lion." (Job 14:7; Eccl. 9:4).
Even if you feel like a dog, thank God
there's hope because you're alive. You may
feel like your finances and indeed your whole
life has been hewn down like a tree, but even
trees have a hope of sprouting again after
being cut down.
Watch out beloved, this day is a
day of hope,
and God is about to give us double for all
our troubles. Amen!

Holy Humor.
So Far, So Good
So far today, God, I've done all right.
I haven't gossiped, haven't lost my temper,
haven't been greedy, grumpy, nasty, selfish,
or over-indulgent.
I'm really glad about that.
But in a few minutes, God, I'm going
to get out of bed and from then on I'm
probably going to need a lot more help.
Thank you.
In Jesus name. Amen
