YCCM PART III THE HEART OF A CHILD  Chapter 13 BITTER WITH THE SWEET, Interlude  Father, I have seen people, who appeared to be zealous for God, fall by the wayside so hard, it is as if they'd never heard the Word of God. I have seen pastors who claim to be God's shepherds turn their back on people they have accepted into the flock; never going to visit or talk to them; and never questioning their whereabouts; and shunning them in the sight of others. People become out of sight and out of mind to them, yet, they claim to have the mind and heart of Christ. What shepherd does not tend to all the Master's sheep in the flock? What shepherd forsakes the lost? Ministers have confessed to me that they are not free of racial prejudice, yet, they claim to love and follow Jesus. They glorify their work and calling, when they don't even love the people they are called to serve. My Lord! How and why I ask? FATHER: Their expectations of their God are ...

YCCM Part 3 THE HEART OF A CHILD Chapter 12 NEW WINE SKIN My Brothers and Sisters,  It does well to remember and constantly remind one another, that we are not alone. If God be for us, then, who can be against us? ( Romans 8:31 ) We who love the Word, do not mind reading and hearing it again. It is like hearing our favorite song for the hundredth time and waiting to start the next hundredth. It is like never tiring of our favourite meal. It is a wonderful way to start the day; a breath of fresh air breathed upon us to revive us throughout the day; and a sweet melody to lull us to sleep and keep us throughout the night. Break bread with me, my Brothers and Sisters and taste the goodness of the Lord and hear of His immeasurable Love for us. ROMANS 8:30-39 (KJV, see NIV Version below) 30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. 31 What shall we then say to...

PREFACE My Brothers and Sisters, There are many ways to write a book. Most writers try to keep within literary boundaries to create a story or informative work that is structured to be cohesive, somewhat chronological, or, increasingly complex, as well as, explanatory. The book may try to convey a particular theme or a set of ideas or values. It can offer one or more points of view. There may be detailed events that lead up to a climax and resolve with a finite ending. At this point, I cannot say that this is such a book. God only knows. Yet, I do know that this is not a book written hoping to find its way onto the Best Sellers List. God was not concerned with it being published or earning profit for supporting ministry, or how many copies would be sold, or if it would find its way onto the bookshelves of libraries or homes. He was not concerned whether or not it would be accepted by well-known authorities on the Bible, celebrated authors, renown ministers, or discriminat...

"Leadership means: having a heart for those around you; listening to the hearts of others; and trusting God's Holy Spirit to guide you." PART III THE HEART OF A CHILD Chapter 10 A HEART CREATED TO LEAD Leadership qualities, in God's eyes are a whole different matter. He's not looking for someone who will satisfy the hearts of the people. His choice for a leader is based on who will best serve him and His plan; for He alone knows what is best for us. In the case of Jeremiah, His choice was not based on age and maturity.  Moses was not a good speaker.  God does  not choose leaders by who speaks the best. Neither, does He choose the one who fights the best; nor the one who makes their opponents look the worst; nor the one who looks and dresses the best.  God's choice is not always a man. The Prophetess Deborah, a woman, judged the people of Israel for 40 years and went out with them to battle.  God is not looking for the strongest, b...
