It causes resentment as pressure mounts up if couple all things to each other and become isolated. be-mine-women-s-t-shirt.jpgGod’s love for a married couple includes a provision of future old age. Set up a good plan with respect, honour, humility, love in a real practical meaningful way. Prepare to face reality of love.

TACKLING DIFFICULT PEOPLE

wp-1578833977605.jpgQuestion: “What does Bible say about dealing with difficult people?”

Tackling difficult people who are arrogant, rude, condescending, argumentative, selfish, flippant, push one’s buttons stir up trouble is by patience love and grace. Jesus interaction not superiority or dismissive pride. His authority rebuked when necessary in John 8:47 silent in John 8:6 when asked questions in Mark 11:28–29 in Scripture in Mark 10:2–3 told story in Luke 7:40–42. The Sermon on the Mount Jesus dealt with loving  enemy, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for all who mistreat you. If someone strikes you on a cheek turn the other. If someone takes your cloak add a tunic. Give if asked don’t demand it back. Do to others as you want done to you in Luke 6:27–31. Don’t repay evil with evil to inherit blessing” in 1 Peter 3:9. Romans 12:3 says its by grace of God don’t think too highly of yourself by faith in God walk in humility in Philippians 2:3–4. Love is the key to love your neighbour as yourself in Galatians 5:14. Use wisdom to deal with difficult people in Proverbs 12:16 and patience. A fool’s anger is seen a prudent man overlooks insult. Proverbs 20:3 says peace-making avoids strife but fools quickly quarrel. In Proverbs 10:12 encouraged to love. Hatred stirs conflict but love covers all wrongs. In Proverbs 17:14 starting a quarrel like breached dam dispute breaks out avoid those situations Choose friends not hot-tempered and easily angry in Proverbs 22:24 apply the fruits of Spirit in Galatians 5:22–23. By the grace of God, deal with difficult people in love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, gentleness, self-control. Extend love, grace, mercy of God. 2 Timothy 3 says in last days perilous times will come people lovers of  self, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents are unthankful, ungrateful. 4 Lack natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, fierce, despisers of those good, traitors 5 heady, highminded love pleasures more than love God. Have a form of Godliness but deny HIS power from such turn away. 6 This sort creeps into houses and lead captive silly women laden with sins into divers lusts 7 Ever learning never able to come to the knowledge of truth. 8 As Jannes and Jambres resisted Moses they resist truth: men of corrupt minds reprobate. 9 Will proceed no further their folly manifest to all 10 Know God’s doctrine live without purpose, no faith, charity, patience, love, to forgive like Jesus. 11 So endure persecutions and affliction for the LORD delivers out of all. 12 Live Godly life in Christ Jesus was persecuted. 13 Evil seducers deceive 14 Continue in things you learnt 15 From childhood. You know Holy Scriptures make you wise to salvation by faith in Christ. 16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God is profitable doctrine for correction and instruction in righteousness 17 so the people of God perfectly furnished to do good works.

EAT 10FRUITS & VEGETABLES

20210530_183026

Experts advise to live longer life eat 10 portions of fruit and vegetables a day. Is this realistic diet for all or the wealthy? Healthy foods three times more expensive than unhealthy foods says Anna Taylor an executive director of Food Foundation. Vegetables are cheaper but people who “haven’t got enough money for food 10 portions of fruits and veg a day in diets impossible.” The Imperial College London says increasing fruit and veg to 10-a-day can prevent 7.8 million premature deaths a year. A quarter of adults in UK eat five-a-day target. British Heart Foundation said third of UK adults struggle to afford to eat healthy. Is 10 a day affordable? It is for some says Victoria Taylor, senior dietitian at BHF for others serious thought and commitment to work out which fruit and vegetables is affordable. Five a day study found “focus on 10 moves goalpost puts people off aiming for five add more portions a day.” The British Dietetic Association says: “The benefits of eating fruit and vegetables a day is great, but 10 is even better.” Improvement in your fruit and vegetable intake is a  healthier benefit option.Vegetables in a supermarket

Victoria Taylor says cost is not only reason not to eat enough fruit and vegetables. Numerous factors influence food choice. Cost is important so is taste, cooking skills, storage facilities and to get to and from shops. Price of food issues are interrelated. Buy seasonally checking prices online or in-store flyers before shopping. Most supermarkets do weekly fruit and veg deals, and own brand or economy fruit and veg is cheaper. Frozen fruit and veg affordable choice is ready prepared cut down waste. Buy fruits berries and cherries frozen in season and freeze. Meat is more expensive swapping pulses as alternative source of protein will save you money. Buy loose half price pre-packaged. Fruits and vegetables in season locally better value. Sell by date, use in a stew or soup not throw away or freeze it. Do not have too much fruit juice and dried fruits higher in sugar. Food Foundation conference in June bring together businesses, farmers, retailers and government departments to make it easier for people to eat vegetables. Ideas from America is food stamps spent on fruit and veg. doubled in value create incentive to spend vouchers on fruit and veg giving them more value. Other scheme sees people in early stage type 2 diabetes or are pre-diabetic prescribed fruit and veg and getting vouchers spent in local market helps to rethink diets to get on track.Local Veg

People were asked to send questions about the 10-a-day diet and health team wrote the piece to answer as possible. A lot of people asked about cost to achieve a 10-a-day diet. Gary asked if the fruit and vegetables heavily subsidized by govt. encourages further consumption? A consumer habit is people consume more if it is cheaper. If economic principle applied to fruit vegetables people shopping make choice of what to buy its best value items that win. Cost of healthy eating government to subsidise fruit and veg measures in place support low income families, pregnant women and children under four’s Healthy Start Vouchers. Can be spent on milk, fresh, frozen fruit vegetables so all infant pupils now get free school meals. £10m funding a year to expand breakfast clubs in up to 1,600 schools only 70% eligible get the healthy start vouchers. And Anne Taylor said Food Foundation debate programme be expanded to lower income group or older age range at conference. Will create positive pull of demand to help strengthen a British horticulture sector too. Thinks post Brexit opportunity helps farmers increase consumer subsidies to drive up demand so horticulturalists benefit win win.

There are lots of ways to make it easier to eat veg beyond price and whole food environment. Fruit and veg is a strong part of encouraging us to eat it. Advertising food and soft drink spends little on fresh vegetables needs to change whole way of thinking about fruit and veg messages in to children’s TV. It’s set against delicious or junk food, cream cakes, fruit and veg is a yucky thing kids don’t want to eat. Subliminal stuff happens in kids’ TV is funny but normalising not to eating it in advertising, broadcasting not normalise that way helps understand its value and worth to the body. It can be made tasty and well seasoned to enjoy as part of healthier diet nutrition lifestyle. Tons of perfectly good food is thrown away not eaten can be reduced three days before sell by dates to encourage customers to clear them. Its sad many people are starving as food is wasted  daily buried. Unripe food declare out of date in good conditions due to computer processing it cannot be resold. Food portions are too large so companies charge high prices for profit than the waste caused its never all eaten. Its too much to eat at a time a realistic plan to not over produce to waste. Imperfect ugly shapes not good for a supermarket are thrown away. World resources are stretched draining the earth just to sell more and claim insurance by throwing food away is a lack of understanding of God’s provisions for all. Attitudes of its a private property defeats God’s purpose of leaving food at edges or ground for poor to collect. 

JESUS IS CRUCIFIED FOR YOU

jesus.jpgJesus was crucified to save, forgive and restore you to the LORD God Almighty Yahweh. Jesus in Jerusalem knew He will be crucified as prophesied in the Bible riding on a colt bravely to die God sent Him to do on earth to save mankind. Jesus was welcomed by the large crowds from all over the world gathered for the annual passover feast of unleavened bread. These crowds held their palm branches they waved, singing when Jesus arrived as their King on the colt. They shouted hallelujah and spread their garments on streets for Jesus to ride on as sign of honour and respect. As foretold in Bible the Messiah will enter Jerusalem riding a donkey. Passover feast season annual times worshippers gathered three times in each year in Jerusalem to worship God.Screenshot_2014-03-01-01-02-53-1Jesus triumphantly entered Jerusalem knew fully well what lays ahead of Him. In Luke 4:18 Jesus said the Spirit of the LORD is upon Him as God has anointed Him to preach the gospel to the poor; to heal broken-hearted and preach the deliverance to the captives, recovering of sight to the blind sets free those bruised. Mankind’s heart is broken in fall in Garden of Eden God sent the Seed of the woman Jesus to restore people’s faith in God. And Jesus’ triumphant entry significantly is to restore all the nations represented at the passover in Jerusalem to God. They came from all nations under heaven as most devout Jewish proselytes, disciples, apostles follower Christiani converts accept Jesus the true Messiah Yahweh God’s chosen and appointed Son of God.134335Jesus ate the passover meal last supper with His twelve apostles and identified traitor Judas who betrayed Him for 30 pieces of silver for his Blood money. After the meal they went to the garden Gethsemane to pray Jesus needs their support most but the disciples let Jesus down and fell asleep. God sent an angel to minister to Jesus in agony. Peter denied Jesus 3 times during His trial, other apostles and disciple run to hide in fear for their lives. They were afraid may die like Christ who did good to all saved, healed all, delivered them from destruction yet not esteemed. His disciples in fear scattered hid away scared for their  lives.downloadfile-69.jpgBible in Matthew 26:30-46 Jesus in Jerusalem at Mount of Olives prayed besides these Olive trees in Garden of Gethsemane near the Church of all  nations. In Garden of Gethsemane, located east of of the Temple Mount and east of Kidron Valley, on lower portion of western slope of the Mount of Olives. These Olive tree as tested by carbon 14 are over 2000 years old and Jesus prayed in garden belonging to either Nicodemus or Joseph of Arimathea. Jesus took time from the crowd to pray to Father God. In Jesus’ intense moments praying sweats blood. He took Peter, James and John to pray they fell asleep three times, didn’t support Jesus God sent HIS angel to comfort Jesus. God’s angel comforts in distress as God, Holy Spirit does.20210314_07185820210314_071632Jesus prays alone seeks God’s face for strength, and power to God’s will obeys. In Gethsemane Jesus sweated blood by intense prayers endure Cross at Calvary Golgotha in Matthew 26:40-46. Jesus prayed in agony for remission of sins for salvation of mankind. Was abandoned so alone God sent angel to comfort Jesus. Easter sells eggs chicks reflect sacrifice made. As a mother hen protect chicks from predators Christ saved mankind. God sent Pilate’s wife Claudia in the dream to warn the governor ignored, joined elders, crowds, religious leaders, killed Jesus. God’s punishment is generational consequences.  20200411_081304Christ Jesus is the GREATEST gift of eternal life restores all to God. Salvation is priceless asset gift to all. Jesus suffered took pain suffered for our sins. He was tried 7 times by leaders Annas in John 18:12-15; 19-28, Caiaphas in Matthew 26:57; 59-68, Sanhedrin in Matthew 27:1, Pilate in Matthew 27:2; 11–14, Herod in Luke 23:6-12. And Pilate in Matthew 27:15-24, stated people Jesus ministered misled by Scribes and elders due to their envy. Influenced crowds in Matthew 27:24-31 and reject Messiah shouted crucify Him let His Blood be on us and our children. Jesus heal to reconnect people to God giving His life as ransom for many.The-Passion-of-The-Christ_2Ultimate betrayal by people Jesus loved and sacrificed His life, provided cared and died for hurt deeply. The Messiah forgave all His enemies on the Cross so prayed and said, Father forgive them for they don’t know or fully understand the Messiah came to save them. Christ by compassionate great love for us gave His Life for Barabbas in exchange for his sin. In response to Christ’s deep love for us we give thanks to God and appreciate gratitude humility, thanksgiving for Messiah Sacrifice. Christ died to save false accusers, devil didn’t know Jesus Christ will resurrect as Jesus told disciples. Jesus’ death didn’t end God’s work as enemies tried to destroy Jesus.crucify-him-crucify-himDwell on Christ Love for you He is genuinely the true friend who cares for you. Jesus was rejected and condemned to die in place of all sinners. Everywhere He went He did good as a Mighty Healer, He cleansed lepers, when cripples saw him they all started walking. Everywhere He went my Lord was doing good. Jesus saves and helps people who don’t make Him the Centre of Joy. Jesus suffered to save all people a most precious gift value in life is the miracle of salvation, don’t ignore it. Spend time reading and studying life of Jesus things of the world are perishing. Earth is regenerated to get rid of all who reject Jesus. Christ redeems gave His Life as a ransom for many conquered death won victory for us.jesus-beatenJesus said He can call angels and a Heavenly Host from God to deliver Him from going through pain, grief, sorrow. But He decided to go through it taking your place to save all. Jesus Christ fully understands, cares deeply for us even if we face challenges. We have Peace that passes all human understanding with God in Christ Jesus. Christ didn’t give up accepted help from Simon of Cyrene to carry His Cross for Him. In life all needs someone to help carry their cross burden if the going gets tough. Jesus humbly received help but could pray for strength like Samson to carry cross Himself. Christ sets good example its alright to ask or accept help in time of needs in such moment ask God’s Help in Jesus name. Jesus is real take Him seriously not mock Him.b4db1ba1-3f05-42a3-a0c9-164c3665b9eb-620x372Jesus crucified His flesh denied Himself of the fleshly distraction focus on God helping people though His Ministry. He took all punishment on Himself says crucify your flesh. He Crucified His flesh for mankind so Christ sets the good example to look up to God for Strength to endure to the end in Jesus Name. Christ accomplished His mission died, resurrected, saves. Christ showed all need help at some point in life open up, seek, receive help like Jesus. No matter challenges is allowed to get help not consumed by pride, fear, shame, fear or other’s opinion. Help is available and prayer in Jesus Name. God’s mercy and forgiveness is mankind is crucified with Christ is saved. A carnal flesh is not needed in Heaven God’s Spiritual place prepared for HIS believers in Jesus Christ. mastheadPassion-The world’s emphasis on fleshly things passes away. Stop glorifying flesh, entertaining it to put above God, excessive indulgence will NOT bless the soul. On the Cross Jesus saved robber and an earthquake broke tombs opened dead came out alive seen by many people. A veil curtain in Temple was torn from top to bottom all to enter Presence of God through the BLOOD of Jesus. The dead out of graves were seen by families. Centurions on guard at crucifixion site shaken to the core repent to become disciples. Jesus is wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquities, chastised for our peace and by His Stripes so we are healed Spiritually, emotionally, physically changes visibly seen. Amazing gift of eternal life makes it possible to live in eternity in Spirit with God. Then soldiers gamble for Jesus’ garments. Mankind can’t cope without God HE sent Jesus to save believers going into hell. So note Jesus saves souls so gives all eternal life. The world needs deliverance from hell so saved for eternity into Heaven and in New Jerusalem.images-of-jesus-christ-144Hell is real Jesus went there and took away the keys of death gives all the born again believers abundant life in victory in Jesus Name. God’s LOVE gift is still available to you to be saved its not God’s will anyone should perish. Salvation matters consider what will it profit you to gain the whole world and lose your soul. Christ made provision for your salvation God’s salvation plan is all mankind to return to God. Repent, value, appreciate life today to receive Christ’s Sacrifice and your forgiveness from God. Jesus has been crucified for all your sins no need to torture your life. For God so loved the world HE GAVE you HIS Only begotten Son Jesus Christ. Believe in Christ to not perish have everlasting life. God blessed mankind with Jesus so you accept and receive Christ as saved believer in Jesus Name. Jesus gives you the privilege and honour to be a Child of God. Ephesians 2:19-22 says 19 you are no longer strangers or foreigners but fellow citizens with saints and members of household of God. 20 Built on thebfoundation of apostles, prophets, Jesus Christ Himself is a Chief corner stone 21 In Christ whole building joins together, grows as His Holy Temple in the LORD. 22 In Christ you are built together as a dwelling place of God in Spirit so Jews and Gentiles grafted in Christ Jesus our Lord and Saviour.21_they-hung-him-on-a-crossJesus gives you choice in Christ and privilege to receive God’s free pardon to forgive all sin, guilt, shame, iniquities. After crucifixion on third day, Jesus arose from the dead. Christ appeared to Mary and others before He went into Heaven on Mount Olive. Praise God! Hallelujah!! for Christ Jesus Victory for us all in Jesus Name!!! Christ prayed to Father God, Forgive all who treat Him cruelly. Christ Sacrificed His Life to save all but not Highly esteemed by all. Jesus triumphantly boldly entered Jerusalem welcomed celebrated by people singing Hosanna soon same people rejected Him and shouted crucify Him. Mankind connived to ‘kill’ Jesus but nobody killed Jesus for He laid His life down as a ransom for many.20210311_164904Screenshot_2014-02-28-23-44-35-1Yeshua’s death is blamed exclusively on Jews accused as “Christ killers” fuels anti-Semitism over the centuries not true. Yeshua’s trial shows Yeshua didn’t receive trial by jury as Jewish law says judge must hear and evaluate accusations of two or three witnesses all must agrees then judge issues conviction. Witnesses presented a false testimony. Chief priests, Sanhedrin, testified against Yeshua lied and put Him to death. Crowd lied gave false testimony didn’t agree in Mark 14:55-56. All testimonies didn’t agree, judge didn’t convict didn’t find fault to use against Him. Sanhedrin had no choice so asked Yeshua directly if He is the Messiah, Son of God, confessed made Himself guilty of blasphemy carried death penalty. High priest questioned Him ‘Are You the Messiah, Son of God? ‘I Am,’  Yeshua said, all of you will see the Son of Man seated at right hand of Power coming in clouds of heaven. The high priest tore his robes and said, ‘Why do we need witnesses? You heard His blasphemy!  What is your decision condemned Him to death in Mark 14:61–64. The false Witness revealed a Jewish Sanhedrin or Roman authorities couldn’t kill Yeshua unco-operated. Some Roman soldiers believed Yeshua is truly Son of God fell in earthquakes watching tomb.8e241bf7515ebd88ae4dd68a28e46ea1The centurion and all guarding Yeshua, saw the earthquake and things happened, terrified said ‘This man really is God’s Son in Matthew 27:54. Jesus gave the authorities a “confession” needed to condemn Him to death. Yeshua lays down His life by His own accord saves from sin as the promised Messiah. He said, “My Father LOVES Me I lay down My life to take it up again. No one takes it from Me I lay it down of My own accord I have authority to lay it down and take it up again command I received from My Father in John 10:17–18. Peter took a sword to defend Jesus cuts off soldier’s ears Jesus stopped him and healed the soldier. Christ proved He did not need anyone to defend Him or kill others on His behalf in His Name for vengeance. Accept Jesus as your Lord for God will destroy all who reject Jesus and burn them in hell fire. All in hell do not burn or die but are tormented forever in hell fire. It is in your best interest to receive God’s free gift of salvation in Christ for eternal life today in Jesus Name.
