I recently completed watching a Netflix documentary called, “High on the Hog.” I found it to be sneakily illuminating. You are watching this discussion around the origins of dietary tradition, and you find yourself being educated in the soil which produced the foods. The soil is the souls of Black folk. This soil is rich... Continue Reading →
Don’t Let Anyone Keep You from Reaching GOD
People, especially men, feel that they must always have an answer, and if they can’t figure it out, they’ll often make up an answer or say no one really knows. There would be far less false teachings in the world if people would just admit they do not know. Instead, they speak from presumption and... Continue Reading →
Hope Is the Wick on the Candle of Godly Desire
Hope is defined as desire accompanied by an expectation of, or belief in, fulfillment (Merriam-Webster). When hope is lost, this is the evidence that the thing desired is now thought of as being beyond reach or unobtainable. When hope is lost, as not to torment the soul, one sends their emotions away from the thing... Continue Reading →
For the Best Harvest Let GOD Farm All the Land
A foundational scripture to hold close to the heart is Matthew 5:8, “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” A pure heart is simply a heart that values GOD above all else. When you understand the fear of the Lord, you realize that a pure heart is not only obtainable, but it is the outcome... Continue Reading →
Love Cascading From Heaven
What is the age at which children outgrow compassion and empathy? I find many people have soft hearts for children in dire circumstances as they are seen as not responsible for the conditions surrounding their lives. However, adults are often not the beneficiaries of such grace flowing soft hearts. They are met with assumptions of... Continue Reading →
Let Your Day Dawn

It has been alleged that there was an infamous man known as Willie Lynch who had a reputation for breaking the spirit of enslaved humans by conditioning them to propagate amongst themselves a defeatist mentality, reinforced by acts of terror to embed fear....

Supremacy is the claim which destroys all men; however, Christ is the Supremacy who saves all men.
"And they feared exceedingly, and said to one another, “Who can this be, that even the wind and the sea obey Him!" (Mark 4:41 NKJV) Christ commands the wind which lifts every flag. He is the King of kings, and the Lord of lords! The only Supremacy authorized in the Universe is the Supremacy of... Continue Reading →
Plastic Fruit Can Feed the Eyes but Not the Heart
Being courteous without a real love for people is like a bowl of plastic fruit on the dinner table; it is fine for those only concerned about appearances but for those who are truly hungry for love, the plastic fruit only aggravates the hunger. I am an affectionate person. When I ask someone how they... Continue Reading →
The Only Way to A Better You Is A New You
I have seen at times within myself and in others, inconsistency. That doesn’t sound too bad or alarming because most of us struggle with inconsistency in some areas. However, inconsistency is the sign of a degenerative condition that has mortal consequences, and if you do not learn to hate that characteristic it will rob you... Continue Reading →
Much Love to those who visit my fruit stand.
The garden of the Lord is watered by the well spring of His spirit. In times of drought when the heat is exacting, the fruit of His vineyard does not languish or wither. He has tilled the soil well and broken up the fallow ground, all of His seeds take root and bring forth fruit.... Continue Reading →
