VICTORIOUS LIVING INSPIRATIONS

Tamar (2 Samuel 13) was raped, rejected and made to feel ruined. But her condition did not minimize her position. She was still the daughter of a king. Bishop Designate Donna Hubbard stated, “you don’t have to be defined by what they did to you.” They mistreated you, rejected you and even began to hate you. But their mistreatment of you does not diminish your value. You are still the Daughter of a King. Know your worth. You are VICTORIOUS. #rejectedbutstillroyalty #aroseisstillarose #CommandYourDay #2Samuel13

Archbishop Michael-Angelo James once said to my husband and I after class one night at Emmanuel’s Bible College, “One day you all are going to be doing this. You’re going to be doing what I’m doing.” Archbishop James is the establisher of Emmanuel’s Bible College where my husband and I were students. As I was preparing to teach hermeneutics, which is the art and science of interpreting Scripture, I was reminded of those words. I am thankful that he shared with me what God revealed to him. I started preparing myself by getting the proper training and credentials. Several years after he spoke these words, Victorious Living Bible Institute became a reality.

Thank you Archbishop Michael-Angelo James for continuing to encourage and inspire me to be a student of the Word. Thank you to Dr. Brenda Wright, Practic

Those who try to fit in are usually quickly forgotten. Being unique is a gift from God; don’t waste your gift trying to be like everybody else. The rarest items have the highest value. #DareToBeDifferent

FATHERLESS NO MORE: I held on to these tears for sixty one years. I was able to relate to so many fatherless sons and daughters in the street, the church, the jail and in the prison. I was bleeding inside; with a band-aid for the hurt and a mask to hide the pain. In my lifetime, I talked to my father on the phone only one time after he left when my mother was pregnant with my younger brother. I was two years old when he left and sixteen years old when he called. I was longing for my father’s love. The one time he did call, all he discussed was how many women he had. I spent years daydreaming; thinking my father was looking for me. I was afraid that when he came back he would find another man dating my mom and that man would get in the way of my family being together again. But I was so wrong. At the age of eighteen, actually on my eighteenth birthday, my father passed away. Because we had no relationship, I did not find out he was deceased until two weeks after his death. We never

Although we are in the middle of a pandemic, the pandemic does not stop purpose. This is your year to plan, prepare, propel and prosper by setting personal goals and having a determination to see what you have envisioned come to pass. Take time today to write down at least one S.M.A.R.T. goal for 2021. S.M.A.R.T. goals help shape a road map to reaching your dreams. Answer the following questions regarding the one main goal as you work your vision and prepare to finish strong: S - SPECIFIC - What outcome would you like? M - MEASURABLE - How will you know when you’ve reached it? A - ATTAINABLE - On a scale of 1:10, how confident do your feel that you’ll do it? R - RELEVANT - How meaningful is this goal to you on a scale of 1:10? T - TIMED - When do you intend to reach your chosen end point? Think about this today. The only way to finish is to start. #VictoriousFINISHERS #YouAreVictorious

Dear Unforgiveness: We can’t see each other anymore. You’ve been holding me back for too long and I have got to let you go. You have affected new relationships, you have affected my health, and most importantly, you have distracted me from my relationship with God. I refuse to let you hold me back in 2021. I refuse to be imprisoned by your power. I refuse to be miserable because of my choice to hold on to you. I refuse to let you maintain occupancy in my heart and mind. IT'S OVER!!! It’s time for you to go. It’s time for me to move on so I can LIVE and be FREE. This I do for me.

A lot of us are complaining about where we are because we didn’t seek God’s Will before we got there!! It’s a New Year and a brand new day. Whatever you do in 2021, inquire of the Lord and ask for permission to pursue! You can’t lose when God has given you authorization to move.

"A friend loves at ALL times." No forced friendships in 2021. (Proverbs 17:17)
