At this church he committed his life to Jesus. After his conversion to Christ, he started diligently reading a proverb and five psalms a day. This helped him to cover all the psalms and proverbs each month. He then joined the choir and wanted to sing intimate love songs to Jesus. Speaking psalms and singing hymns has given him new strength in his life.

Inspiration: A Bible teacher taught on discernment one day. He explained that thoughts come from three sources: 1. God, 2. the devil and 3. Self (you can generate your own thoughts or hear what others say.) This scripture can be used to analyze your thought life and immediately discern the source of a thought when it enters your mind. Casting down thoughts that exalt themselves against God helps keep the mind clear and peaceful in God’s direction. Hebrews 4:12 says the reading of the Word of God is needed to discern between right and wrong. We need to know what is right and wrong from God’s perspective.

Each time I give to the poor, there is an opportunity to share Jesus with them. For many, it was wiser to give them food rather than money as many of the poor cannot be trusted with money. Preaching the gospel was the most important thing they needed and I was able to pray with most of them. Poor people must learn that God does not want them to be poor as Deuteronomy Chapter 28 says poverty is a curse.

Inspiration: The Holy Spirit used this scripture to really convict me of the need for more holiness in my life. It was at a time that I had added too many things to my daily schedule and got too busy for daily Bible study which over a period of time caused me to start falling in love with the world instead of God’s call for my life. I repented of my sin and knew from this mistake that I must always keep on, daily, studying the Bible to grow in faith or else my faith would dwindle. It also helped me see healing in a new light. If the Holy Spirit was dwelling in me and my body was the temple of God, then disease would not be welcome in God’s temple.
