It’s a wonderful day to be a child of God.  Have you ever spent hours, days, weeks, or years worrying about other people’s opinions?  Have you ever attempted to make everyone around you happy?  Do you believe you can make everyone happy?  Do you believe you can make everyone like and accept you?  So often in our lives we fail to realize how important we are to God.  We spend so much time trying to receive man’s kind words until we shut God out of our lives.  The way you wake up and go to sleep usually depends on what has been said about you.  Does this sound like anyone you know?  Does this sound like you?  

This morning, I have been commissioned to come and minister to you.  My friend, Let People Say What They Will!  You will never be able to please everyone.  There are some people who strive to make your life miserable.  You can have ten friends.  You can treat each of them the same way all the time.  In the end, at least one of the ten will complain that you treat him/her different.  The Bible declares in James 1:8 – A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.  When you spend your time trying to please each person you encounter, your foundation becomes unstable.  You find yourself tossed to and fro.  You are who the Lord made you to be in this world.  You are here to fulfill your purpose by design.  Let People Say What They Will!  The Bible declares in Psalms 118:8 – It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.

My brother, my sister, your God-given assignment will not make everyone happy with you.  There will be times when you are misunderstood and misrepresented.  You will have fingers pointed in your face.  You must stand for righteousness sake.  You must not waver.  The Bible declares in Matthew 6:24 – No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.  Let People Say What They Will!  Your anointing is not based on man’s opinion.  The success and significance of your ministry is not based on the newspaper articles.  You cannot spend your days and nights in a corner hiding.  You are chosen to help change a generation.  Some things will come with the territory.  Let People Say What They Will! Thought to Remember: Dear friend, always remember this one thing, when you had nothing to give, God gave His Son, let them talk about that! 

Scripture Reading for the Day: Revelation 3:16

May God Bless you at Your point of need!

Pastor Darrick D. McGhee, Sr.

It’s a wonderful day to be a child of God.  This morning, I have been commissioned to come and minister to you.  My brother, my sister, have you noticed any changes within the body of Christ?  Changes that appear hypocritical to the Word of God.  Changes that have caused bickering amongst brothers and sisters in Christ.  Changes which make you wonder if people still reverence the Lord.  Over time I have began to wonder if Christians have become more concerned with their own agendas instead of fulfilling the Will of God.  Have we become crowd pleasers, even though it has been the Lord who has taken care of us?  Whatever happened to the times when we lived our life to please God, no matter what people said or thought about us?

Beloved, have we lost our impact on this world?  Have non-Believers begun to second guess our authority and/or sincerity?  Have we become a people who speak all the time, but display no actions?  Just think about it.  When was the last time your life and your words complimented each other?  My friend, we must not lose our position.  We must not allow the enemy to draw us away from obeying the Word of God.  If no one else is willing to do it, you must be willing to stand as a child of God.  Today, …

It Is Time To Restore Integrity!

Scripture Reading for Today: Proverbs 6:16-19

May God Bless you at Your point of need!

Pastor Darrick D. McGhee, Sr.

It’s a wonderful day to be a child of God.  Have you ever felt as if there was more to your life than what you were doing?  Not to say what you are doing is not enough but within you know there is more to do.  Have you ever had people verbally cheer for you, but internally there was still a void?  Yes, what you are doing is affecting many lives but you are not satisfied.  You desire to do more.  You feel pressured to do more.  Have you ever had people who were great coming out the gate but they never finished anything?  In the beginning they have much enthusiasm, but eventually they give up before seeing any results.  This is not you.  The fire within you will not allow you to give up until reaping has taken place.  Am I right?

This morning, I have been commissioned to come and minister to you.  Do you realize God has anointed each of us for great work?  While my assignment may differ from yours, we are both called to bring glory unto the Lord Jesus Christ.  No matter how people feel about you or your ministry, understand God made no mistake when He chose you.  My friend, Now Is The Perfect Time!  The Bible declares in Isaiah 6:8 – Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.  Child of God the harvest is in need of your labor.  Yes there will be people who betray you.  Yes you will experience rough days along the way, however, with the Lord Jesus on your side you are more than a conqueror (Romans 8:37). 

My brother, my sister, what’s keeping you from walking in the boldness of the Lord?  Who’s keeping you from possessing the land?  Are you scared?  Has the enemy stolen your joy?  Are you awaiting the approval of others?  Are you questioning whether you heard God clearly or not?  Beloved, Now Is The Perfect Time!  I believe today’s devotional will serve as confirmation for you to now obey the voice of the Lord.  The Bible declares in Esther 4:14 – For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father’s house shall be destroyed: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?  I prophesy today you shall experience a quickening in your spirit.

Pastor Darrick D. McGhee, Sr.

It’s a wonderful day to be a child of God.  This morning, I have been commissioned to come and minister to you.  My brother, my sister, as you take a brief overview of your life, I want to ask you a few questions that were birthed into my spirit. 

• Are you pleased with where you are?  
• Are you comfortable with the steps you have taken in life?  
• Are you striving for more materialism or are you content?  
• Has your life set a good example for others to follow?
• Do you believe God is pleased with you and the way you are living?
• Is your life hypocritical?
• Can others see the love of God in you?

So often in our lives we never sit still long enough to see what areas of our lives need improvements.  I claim not to be perfect or flawless, but I have been assigned to come and tweak your thought process.  Beloved, …

Are You Impacting The Lives Of Others for the Glory of God?

Scripture Reading for Today: Colossians 3:17, 23

May God Bless you at Your point of need!

Pastor Darrick D. McGhee, Sr.

It’s a wonderful day to be a child of God.  This morning, I have been commissioned to come and minister to you.  My brother, my sister, do you realize there is something wonderful about being in God’s presence?  No matter how awful things are in your life, if you ever enter into the Most Holy Place you forget about the chaos of life.  It is in the presence of God that broken hearts are mended.  It is the place where the promises of God are granted.  Do you realize there is a difference between the outer courts, the inner courts (Holy Place ), and the Holies of Holy (Most Holy Place)?  No matter how wonderful people make you feel about yourself, flesh is not welcome in the presence of God.  

• Are you currently stuck in the middle of a dilemma? 
• Are you currently stuck between a rock and a hard place?
• Have you run into a dry season?
• Do you feel like giving up on life and the things that come with it?
• Has ministry caused you to wet your pillow at night with tears?
• Are you tired of walking the floor at night stressing about your bills, your marriage, your children, and/or your career?

Beloved, if this is you, There’s Something About God’s Presence.  In His presence there is fullness of joy (Psalms 16:11).  In His presence there is healing for the sick and afflicted (Isaiah 53:5).  In His presence there is safety from the attacks of the enemy (Isaiah 54:17).  In His presence there’s peace for the troubled mind (Philippians 4:7).  The Bible declares in Psalms 91:1 – He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.  My friend, where you want to be is in His presence.  Whatever you want, God has it.  Whatever you need, God has it.  Whatever you desire, God has it.  Child of God, worship your way in.

Pastor Darrick D. McGhee, Sr.

Its a wonderful day to be a child of God.  Many times in our lives there are occassions when unforeseen circumstances catch us off guard.  No matter how prepared we claim to be, there are times when life throws sucker punches our way.  Yes we have the nice paying jobs.  We have the expensive homes, beautiful wardrobe, perfect marriage, effective ministry, etc.  We appear to be on top of the mountain with no concerns in the world.  Just think about it, all that you ever wanted for yourself and your family is now in your possession.  What could possibly go wrong?  Hmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This morning, I have been commissioned to come and minister to you.  Living in Florida has taught me that no matter how many worldly possessions we enjoy, all it takes is one bad storm and everything could be taken away from you.  During many hurricane seasons, the state of Florida has experienced many hurricanes that affected our entire state.  No one ever imagined how awful things would be.  Just think about Hurricane Katrina and the affect it had on the Gulf Coast.  Homes destroyed, jobs ruined, lives taken away.  All of this as a result of one unforeseen circumstance.  My friend, have you taken the appropriate steps for Emergency Preparedness?  The Bible declares in Isaiah 54:17 – No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD. 

My brother, my sister, I believe it is important for the entire body of Christ to be mindful of where they are in life and who made it possible.  We are where we are because of Christ.  We have what we have because of Christ.  No matter how many contacts we claim to have, no man is able to do for you what the Lord is able to do.  Be careful not to think you deserve to have the blessings you enjoy each day.  The same God who blessed you, is the same God who can take it away from you.  Beloved, take the appropriate steps for Emergency Preparedness.  The Bible declares in Isaiah 59:19 – So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him.  

Scripture Reading for Today: Matthew 6:25-33

May God Bless you at Your point of need!

Pastor Darrick D. McGhee, Sr.

It’s a wonderful day to be a child of God.  Have you ever noticed how we spend much of our time trying to please people?  Most of our energy is wasted trying to make sure everyone accepts us.  We say what we think they want to hear.  We dress the way we think they want us to dress.  Whatever it takes to please people, we are willing to do it.  Have you ever wondered how God feels when He sees us catering to people but neglecting him?  I am concerned about our ways.  Since when do we feel the need to please man before pleasing God?  Since when do we feel obligated to pamper man’s ego?    

This morning, I have been commissioned to come and minister to you.  Do you realize no matter what you do to please man, he will always find a reason to gripe and moan?  My grandmother always told me, “you can have ten friends.  You will successfully please nine of the ten, but one of the them will find something to complain about.”  As children of God, we are commanded to love everyone, but we are not commanded to sell our souls for friendship.  My friend, Always Keep God First!  No matter how awful things appear today, make sure you never compromise your relationship with the Lord for a temporary moment of pleasure.  God is able to make any situation turn around.  The Bible declares in Matthew 6:33 – But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. 

My brother, my sister, who are you living your life to please?  Who do you spend your energy attempting to please?  Who’s your God/god?  If you seriously evaluate your life you will notice who gets all your time.  Please understand, whomever or whatever you spend the most time with is your God or god!  The Bible declares in Psalms 118:8 – It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.  Beloved, Always Keep God First!  If you seek the hand of God you will never get to know Him intimately, but if you seek the face of God everything you need will come with it.  As you go forth today, make sure you keep the Lord first in your life.  

Scripture Reading for Today: Exodus 20:3, Exodus 34:14

May God Bless you at Your point of need!

Pastor Darrick D. McGhee, Sr.

It’s a wonderful day to be a child of God.  I often wonder where I would be in life if the Lord had not saved my life.  It is amazing to think how often we placed ourselves in harm’s way and the Lord continuously pulled us out.  Have you ever sat down long enough to see how faithful the Lord has been to you?  In spite of your imperfections, the Lord never gave up on you.  Just think about the night you were dancing in the club and the gunshots rang out.  It was the Lord who made a way of escape.  Think about the times you were smoking weed, sniffing cocaine, drinking alcohol, or living promiscuous.  It was the Lord who delivered you.  

This morning, I have been commissioned to come and minister to you.  I am concerned that the people of God have lost sight of God’s goodness.  For some reason we live our lives as if God owes us.  We come and go as we please.  We only pray when we want something from Him.  We live any kind of way, say any thing we want, and treat people like dirt but we proclaim to be Christians.  My friend, This Is Not About You!  Who we are is because of the Lord.  Where we are is because of the Lord.  What we desire to be will come through the Lord.  Be not deceived, demons do not tremble when they hear your name.  The Bible declares in James 2:19 – Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.  

My brother, my sister, stop acting like the world revolves around you.  Humble yourself.  Do you realize God has someone, somewhere, prepared to replace you?  Yes you are anointed but this does not mean you are not irreplaceable.  Beloved, This Is Not About You!  As you go forth today, make sure you remember it is because of who God is that we are able to live, move and have our being.  The Bible declares in Philippians 2:9 – Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: ¹⁰ That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; ¹¹ And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. 

Scripture Reading for Today: Acts 19:15

May God Bless you at Your point of need!

Pastor Darrick D. McGhee, Sr.

It’s a wonderful day to be a child of God.  This morning, I have been commissioned to come and minister to you.  My brother, my sister, allow me to ask you a few questions.

• Are you operating in the power Christ ordained for you?
• Are you living a life pleasing to the Lord?
• Are you allowing something or someone to hinder you from walking in the fullness of God?
• Are you running from the calling of God on your life?
• Are you ignoring the voice of the Lord?
• Are you doing the work of God for the glory of God?
• Are you being held bound by people, places or things?
• Are you allowing your light to shine so people may see Christ in you?
• Are you infecting or affecting the people around you?
• WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH YOUR LIFE? 

Beloved, we are in a time and season where the people of God need to begin walking in obedience to the assignments of God on our lives.  For some reason we have grown comfortable with complacency.  WILL THE PEOPLE OF GOD PLEASE STAND UP?  We need to stand up and win souls for the Kingdom of God. 

Scripture Reading for Today: Proverbs 11:30

May God Bless you at Your point of need!

Pastor Darrick D. McGhee, Sr.

It’s a wonderful day to be a child of God.  Have you ever found yourself picking up the pieces from a broken heart?  After years of commitment to a particular or sect of people, you now find yourself trying to recover.  What was it?  Did they betray your trust?  Did they spread lies on you?  Did they attempt to destroy your destiny or stand against your ministry?  Do you realize there are people who will do whatever it takes to prevent you from walking in the full manifestation of God’s power?  Since they stopped believing God for more, they want to prevent you from believing.  Child of God, please watch out for the snares of the enemy.  

This morning, I have been commissioned to come and minister to you.  My friend, have you ever experienced the Root of Bitterness?  Bitterness to the point that your entire behavior is altered when you are around certain people.  Bitterness to the point that the enemy keeps your mind bombarded and your heart cluttered.  Bitterness to the point that you begin to second guess all your friendships.  The Bible declares in Hebrews 12:14 – Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord: ¹⁵ Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled; 

My brother, my sister, do you realize you cannot make good decisions from a bitter heart?  As anointed as you claim to be, you cannot effectively minister to anyone with a bitter heart.  How can God use you to encourage the body of Christ if you refuse to let go of past hurts and pains?  Beloved, give no place to the Root of Bitterness.  The Bible declares in Ephesians 4:31 – Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:  As your day unfolds, be honest with yourself and allow the Lord to work on your heart.  BE FREE IN THE NAME OF JESUS!
