Not for Sale or Lease (first written on Ryze)

ckqgifts@sbcglobal.net — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 01:00:00 +0100

Your body is a temple...God gave it to you to use for a short time on earth....if you are following HIM, your temple is filled with the Holy Spirit....it isn't for sale or for lease to Satan and the flesh....and time is about to be UP.

You have a few choices and they are pretty clear.
1. Get right or stay wrong.
2. Stop playing with God and look at your life...
3. Keep walking with the devil and in the flesh.

God gave us a mind to have a choice....a [...]

Below are links to programs that African Americans are involved in. These programs are helping us to create residual incomes to fatten our pockets.

In the process of fattening our pockets, we are helping others by increasing their knowledge of the Lord. Why and how? Well, this world won't last forever, and how, add scripture that you understand and live by to everything you do. Tell people to get their acts together by putting their lives on the line, in the front line of the word [...]

Is Your WHY a Testimony to others?

ckqgifts@sbcglobal.net — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 01:00:00 +0100

Being in business in this current economy might have people running to McDonald's for a part time job! Yet, if you went into business so that you wouldn't have to answer to another, why step back now?

Revisit your why and look at where you are now!

When I started with YTB, they asked us to write out our WHY (why we are in business) and use that as a motivator to increase your business. I believe your WHY is what is important for you in your life right now and in the futur [...]

They Cannot Help You

ckqgifts@sbcglobal.net — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 01:00:00 +0100

Let me share with you something that will hit home for all people that feel that they are in bondage to other people: They can't help you!!! Why? Every person of the world is out for self. They are looking out for them and them only. They will put down your very being to make themselves feel good! (how selfish is that??)

You will notice, on most social and business networks, 85% of them are promoting their businesses and what it can offer you. They are not trying to find ways to h [...]

They don't want what you want

ckqgifts@sbcglobal.net — Wed, 21 May 2008 01:00:00 +0100

( I orginally posted this on my blog under a different title.

I'm referring to your children.

You may not be their hero and they do not want to go into business for themselves. Don't force it.

In this current age, children have to be able to use their own minds and be creative from their own hearts. Do not force a child to be your protege'; it won't happen.

With summer approaching, whether you have a teenager or co [...]
