Don’t allow people’s title or position in ministry make you feel like they are superior or better than you. LISTEN! We ALL are DISCIPLES! A Disciple is a LEARNER of Jesus Christ NOT of the person with a title or position. Sometimes those with title may become jealous because they see others that God is using & they may become threaten thinking that you’re going to take their position or “spotlight”. Listen! Learn your identity in Christ by seeking & worship Him not man, then you’ll see how much God had invested into YOU! Remember, the SAME God that appointed them can or may have (already) appointed you! #Stay humble, obedient & keep your focus on God! Be blessed! #brotherprater

When you wait for the love that God has for you, you won’t be a side dish. You’ll be the ONLY dish on their plate! Never settle for less than who God has for you. It’s better to wait for something than rush to nothing! Remember, true love STILL exist! #You are MORE than enough! Be blessed! #brotherprater

To the single folks:
Imagine, having sex with someone & you begin to talk like them, act like them, think crazy thought like them, pick up every bad habit like them. How would that make you feel? Well, some people only think about the physical risk of sex (pregnancy, S.T.D.) but there’s a SPIRITUAL risk called SOUL TIES! See, not only your bodies are coming together, but your souls are too. You have to remember that human beings are the ONLY creature that God created that is BOTH body & spirit & there’s a spiritual transfer between you too when sex is involved. Oh! Don’t think it’s a good thing. Because the sex (before marriage) is outside of God’s will, if you’re starting your relationship based upon sex, then your relationship is starting with a sinful foundation. If you noticed, there are some folks you were sexually involved with years ago that you can’t stand! It seems like you could be having a great day, thinking about beautiful thoughts, then all of a sudden, they pop up in your mind & it ruins your day. That’s because you’re emotionally (soul) attached to them. This is the day that God wants to cut all your soul ties. 1st, ask Him to forgive you, then you forgive yourself. No longer carry any shame, embarrassment or guilt. Allow God to heal you of every broken pieces in your life to become Healed & Whole! It’s not too late to have a New Beginning! Be blessed! #brotherprater

Somebody needs to hear this:
Before you walk away from your marriage… Listen! You said your man ain’t abusing you, ain’t cheating on you, ain’t disrespecting you, didn’t steal from you, but all he does is showers you with love & affection, pay the bills, takes care of your kids, while your children’s father does absolutely NOTHING! So, what’s the problem? Ohhh! The problem AIN’T him, the problem is YOU! See, you’re listening to those crazy lonely women who are in a miserable relationship or no relationship at all! Just because they man ain’t no good, doesn’t mean YOUR MAN AIN’T NO GOOD! The women you’re getting your advice from or who are telling you to leave your man, are the same ones that are praying for a man like YOURS. If you had to deal with someone like yourself, you’d go crazy. But your man deals with all your foolishness & attitude but STILL wants to be with you. Gurl, WAKE UP & SMELL THE BURNT COFFEE! You know you got a good man! If you’d direct your focus to fight for your marriage instead of fighting against it, then your marriage really would be something awesome. If everything I’m telling you ain’t changing your mind, then please HURRY UP & LEAVE HIM NOW! That way he could be with a REAL woman who would love him, appreciate him & truly make him happy! Shoots! Maybe you were the reason why the blessings were being held back from the marriage. Free he so he can receive ALL God has for him with SOMEONE ELSE! #If You Stop Looking at Other People’s Grass & Water Yours, Then God Can Make Your Grass Greener Too! Be blessed! #brotherprater

Don’t confused the idea of feeling sorry for someone with the feelings of LOVE. Love is NOT based on pity. If you always want to help them or make them “better”, that is NOT love. That is mission work called the Mother Teresa syndrome & Goodwill or the Salvation Army will gladly assist them. Listen! If you try to pursue those kind of relationships, it is exposing some insecurities within you. You feel the need to be needed, validated or want to be important in somebody’s life. Save yourself & them from disappointment or false hopes by learning your worth in God’s eyes & examining how a person REALLY is. If you can’t accept it, don’t waste your time or theirs! Be blessed! #brotherprater

As much as you may isolate yourself, you need people! True, you may say, “I got Jesus & that’s enough!” Well, He will bless you, but He will bless you through people. See, God is the Source, but He will send people as the RESOURCE! Don’t allow the behavior of some people define or disqualify ALL people. Know that God can heal you of any broken trust or any mistreatment others caused you. Allow Him to teach you how to recognize genuine people who love you & have your best interests in mine. Always be careful how you treat or respond to people. Remember, the person you ignore maybe the angel you’re unaware that God sent to help you. Be blessed! #brotherprater

As we begin this day, we honor MOTHERS today. We thank you for the love you gave & the sacrifices you’ve made. Without MOTHERS, houses would not be homes, churches wouldn’t grow & children wouldn’t be who they are because of the prayers of MOTHERS! Thank you for not throwing in the towel & giving up. Today, we pray for ALL MOTHERS (Those who have always been there & those who God needs to reach). May God also touch the hearts of the children who MOTHERS are no longer physically with us. May their legacy be strong & long lasting. Thank you God for THIS day we collectively say HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY! Be blessed! #brotherprater
