Consider Yourself Chosen

The word that best describe you is {chosen}. You are alive and still have purpose for being here. You are chosen to be the person on that job, in that school, in that country, and living the life of a Christ--Like being. You may feel uncomfortable sometimes but what you must bear in mind is that being Chosen may cause some discomfort. Just remember your value. So don't place yourself on the clearance rack in fear of not being picked, liked, loved, or comfortable. Your worth is more because you are Chosen by God. So wait patiently for the person who will value you and not try to get you for way less than you are worth. This wait will let the World know that you are Chosen by our Almighty God.

Do You Know Who You Are?

In case you have no idea, these words of encouragement are to inform you of who you are in Gods eyes. You were chosen to be with God, but you must make a choice to do so willingly. (2 Peter 3:9) God desires for you to repent and join the journey of Christ that you might experience everlasting life. The word of God states that "You" are a "Chosen" people, God, considers "You" Royalty. You are precious in His eyes. (1 Peter 2:9) states, But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. [NIV] God designed you uniquely to be who you are, so you don't have to live up to any standard other than the Word of God. As David stated in the book of Psalm 139:13-14 [You too are fearfully and wonderfully made by God] According to this scripture you should know that God knitted you in your mother's womb. So there is nothing about your being a mistake. Psalm 139:13-14 read: [For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. 14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.] God desires for you to walk in the confidence of who you are in His eyes not yours, so` take a look in the mirror and tell low self esteem, too tall, too short, too fat, too skinny, big eyes, big nose, big lips, short hair, straight hair, curly hair, nappy hair, whatever you see that contradicts what the Bible tells you, you are in God's eyes~~~ to get behind you~~~. It is time to walk in confidence of who you are and embrace every unique part of your being as a special design by our Creator and Heavenly Father. So hold your head up high and walk in the sophistication of Christ Jesus. ~~Royalty, Precious, & Chosen by God.

Chasing after Christ

Everyday, I wake up it is evident that God is chasing after me. Despite my down falls, or mistakes; He is still chasing after me. I cannot and never will be able to wake up on my own. This is something that only God enables me to do daily. Therefore it is my opinion that He is chasing after me. He is chasing after me to love him with all my heart. He is chasing after me to live holy and walk in integrity always. He is chasing after me to trust and obey Him. God, doesn't have to be so loving. In fact, I am making a decision to chase after Christ with my whole heart. I want to please Him when I am shopping, exercising, getting my nails or hair done. I want Him to be proud, to be my Father in everything that I partake in during this journey. I encourage you to Chase after Christ. It is far more rewarding than you local stores rewards cards. The reward is eternal life.

Don't Give Up

Women, I have come to encourage you not to give up no matter what obstacle has the nerve to challenge you. You are strong enough to handle whatever, you are being faced with in your life today. Hold your head up high and Pray Until Something New Happens. God wants to bless you but the question is how bad do you want the blessing. Sometimes in life we have to roll our sleeves back and work harder to see better results. Sometimes, we have to get on our knees and get dirty to let God know we mean business and that we are not to arrogant to kneel down in submission to His authority. I challenge you to lay prostrate before the Lord and expect miracles to happen. It is in the prostrate position, that you seek God sincerely with total humility. Lay on your face and show Him that you reverence what He did on the Cross and more importantly you are in total submission to Who He is in your life [GOD]. If you have been praying, now it is time to fast. If you have been fasting, now it is time to travail in the spirit realm for the move of God to take place in your life. If you have been praying & fasting, it is now time for you to start listening for God's voice. How do I hear God's voice, [by reading the Word of God, Open Your Bible & Read..] Follow these instructions and watch God move.

Marriage is Sacred

Hello All,

This is something God revealed to me a few days ago. Marriage is symbolic to "Christ love for the Church". This means that in our marriage we should strive to be like Christ. God said plainly to me "Which one are you Christ or The Church". What does this mean? Who are you striving to be like in your marriage? Is it Christ or The Church. It was the Church that watched Jesus heal the sick, raise the dead, provide food to the hungry and they still crucified him. As we do today. We are all striving for perfection. We are not without sin.

My prayer is that God will lead us guide us and strengthen us to be Christ in our marriage. It was Christ that paid the ultimate price that you and I may be pardoned of our filthy sins. It was Christ that knew of our every flaw and sin, yet He passed the cup and endured severe pain for our sake.

So when you are asked Who are you in your marriage? What will your answer be? This post is not to point fingers or call anyone to shame but rather to convict the hearts of those who have read it to have a sincere desire to want to be Christ in their marriage. If more people will receive this post this nation will have a fighting chance against such high divorce rates. Only if we could imagine how sacred marriage is to God. Then we wouldn't take it lightly and jump in and out of it so easily.

God's Addiction

Attention Ladies & Gentlemen,

Did you know that God struggles with addiction too?

We all struggle with addictions whether it be cell phones, texting, social media, drugs, alcohol, sex, lying, backbiting, infidelity and the list goes on. God wanted me to share with you His addiction, which is [LOVE] for you.

Just like your addiction, you know that it's not as good to you, as you are to it but you remain faithful to it. Alcohol slowly kills your liver but your are addicted to it so you must have a daily drink. Smoking slowly kills your lungs but you would rather die than stop smoking your cigarettes. Unprotected sex can kill you but you must have that feel. Gluttony will cause your heart to fail but rather than discipline your flesh you would rather die of a heart attack.

God addiction for LOVING you and I is the same.

His addiction is so strong that even when our hearts fails, He breadth life into our lungs and command our heart to beat. His addiction of LOVE for us is so strong that when we commit infidelity with the devil; He vows that as high as the heaven is from the earth so great is His love for us and if we would just repent that as far as the east is to the west, He would throw our sins into the sea of forgetfulness. (Psalm 103:11-12) He loves us so much that He promised if we believe in Him, we would have everlasting life (John 3:16). He loves us so much that He promised if we teach others His Love He would be with us always. His addiction is so strong for us that He honor the blood of Jesus to pardon our sinful ways. His LOVE for us is so strong that He gave us the privilege to make a choice to life or death. God loves us so much that He sent His only begotten son to die for us. His addiction is so strong for us that even though we were the cause of "His Death" He still LOVES us.

His addiction of Love for us is so strong that He respects our decision when it is not to accept Him in our lives, so He does not force us to spend eternity with the one we cannot accept or LOVE but instead painfully rewards hell.

Hello All,

The Lord is always with us no matter what we feel like. Please note: Your feelings or emotions were gifted to you by God. Your feelings are no determining factor of what is going on in your life. Sometimes we are in the valley and although it may feel like you have been deserted; that is not always the case. There are sometimes God place you in a location for a season in your life to bring life, birth life, or save a life. Your desperation to leave your current condition may not be God's Devine will for your life at this moment. However, your discernment must be strong enough to recognize when it is time to leave a location. All it takes is one unanswered call for us to miss God. Although most times, God's gracious heart gives us multiple chances. Please know the voice of God for yourself. Do not be mislead by the masses or the false prophets, say's the Word of God. We need to be wise and remain very close to the Word of God least we cast our feet against a stone. Just know this God's addiction for you is much stronger than your addiction for the thing that is blocking you from Him. Just like you cannot let go of your addiction but rather you will be completely consumed or devoured by it; likewise, God cannot let you go but rather will keep calling you and pulling at your heart until you accept or embrace death. Control your feelings and know that God is guiding your journey. If you have chosen God to guide your journey follow His every directions, lay back and rest. "God has you".

Hello Everyone,

~~~~~~~Non-Negotiable~~~~~~

Today, I would like to encourage you to look in the mirror and compliment yourself. Take a moment and say something special to yourself. Ladies, take a moment to do something special for yourself. You are an awesome, unique, and beautiful woman. You can and will try harder today at your dreams and ambitions than you did the day before. You are not just a person to be touched, slept with, talked about, degraded, humiliated, or purchased. Your value should be priceless to those around you. Don't lower the bar to feel significant, but rather demand that the standards you deem necessary and Holy in your life be met without negotiation. You are WoMan created by a perfect God that makes no mistakes. So, if there is one that refuse to forgive you WoMan, do not negotiate your self-worth. Please let that person know that you are pardoned by a perfect God that makes no mistakes and that He has thrown your sins as far as the East is to the West into the sea of forgetfulness. So, kindly remind those in your life that have so quickly taken you for granted that you are hand crafted by the Artist that has never made a mistake. Let them know that you cannot negotiate your self-worth, dignity, character, or morals to receive their acceptance. You are God created WoMan [Non-negotiable].

Greetings Ladies,

Never give up on your hopes, dreams, desires, yourself, your loved ones, and more importantly God. June 9, 2015

Hello Ladies,

Here is the encouraging word of the day: "Stop being your worst enemy." Despite your adversity in life, God still loves you and want to heal you of all of your pain but you have to permit God to do it for you. God is just and will not make you receive your healing. So, please stop reliving the pain of your "yesterday's " and start walking in the "triumph" of your todays. God has greater but you cannot receive it if you don't forgive yourself of your wrong doing. God said, as far as the East is to the West, He will throw our sins into the sea of forgetfulness to remember them "No More". This means you have to also throw them away and remember them "No More". {Ref: Psalm 103:12 ] Stop beating yourself up about your past life experiences, move forward and accept and trust God.

Good Morning Ladies,

Please forgive me for my tardiness in getting the F2S Words of Encouragement to you all this week. I am so serious about this website and I understand that this is ministry. Everyday, I am seeking God's face for guidance and assistance in this platform to reach the masses. Every opportunity possible to snatch a soul from the hell fire is very important to me.

Today, I really want to encourage you to understand the word Love, know who you are in Christ Jesus, and know what God promised you as his daughter. First and foremost, what is Love? Often times we misunderstand love for what a person does for us. I want to tell you what true love is because there may be times when a person is unable to do things for you but it does not necessarily mean they don't love you and carefully discerning it sometimes may mean they do not. So, how do you decipher the truth from the fake. The most efficient way to determine the truth from the fake is to utilize a standard, procedure, or policy. I utilize what I believe is the unfailing truth, "The Word of God". The Bible says in 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 NIV, Love is patient, love is kind, it does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge it will pass away.

~~~~~~~~Now, Who are you in Christ Jesus?~~~~~ According to the Bible II Corinthians 5:17 New Living Translation, [This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!]

It is imperative that we know that God Love us so much that He said when we accept Christ in our lives, we become new. So, stop letting people hold you in bondage to what you used to do. You are new. This is also the same if you rededicate your life to Christ. Don't give the devil or any lower evil spirit use people to take authority over your mind by convincing you that you can't change. Know that you are not what you used to be. You are a strong , mighty, sophisticated woman of God.

~~~~~~~~What has God promised you as his daughter?~~~~~~~The Bible tells us in the book of Psalm 34:19 [Many are the affliction of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all. New American Standard Bible. You should be aware that although you are not an exception to having problems in your life, that God will deliver you out of them all. There is no problem to difficult for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He has suffered the ultimate sacrifice for all of us. Finally, know that God has promised to meet your every need. According to Philippians 4:19 [And my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.] God will take care of you if you trust him as you trust your job, your husband, your significant other, your parents, your siblings, etc... According to Psalm 37 God also promises to grant you your heart desires, if you delight yourself in Him.

These are the words of encouragement for today. ~May 26, 2015, Annie Okoye, Founder, F2S~~

You Must Know Your "God Given Power": [This is a repost]

The Power of God,

Women, please note that the power of God is so important to your life and even the success of your spouse and family. The Power of God, grants you wisdom for your decision making for life threatening and all other circumstances in your life. Often times when people think of Women of God, they think meek, humble, quiet spirited, kind, and loving. These are all great attributes of Women of God; however, God also gave women "Power" as well. We are called to be a help to our spouse and family and how else can we do so accept we have "The Power of God". A woman cannot properly provide wise counsel to her spouse accept she have "The Power of God". A woman cannot properly provide wisdom to her children accept she have "The Power of God." A woman cannot properly mentor other women accept she have "The Power of God".

In the Bible there are two courageous women that I would like to speak about and they are Deborah and Jael. Both of these women executed "The Power of God" in their lives. Deborah was entrusted by God to be appointed a Judge for the Israelites. During this time in the Bible, Judges rather than kings were appointed with the authority to rule Israel. During the War between Israel and the Canaanite's, the people of Israel had experienced great defeat. The people of Israel prayed to God for help and God answered by endowing Deborah with instructions on how to defeat the Canaanite's. This is simply God releasing His Power to Deborah to triumph over the Canaanite's. Deborah executed the command to her commander, Barak but he was hesitant to trust her because she was a woman. He was fearful and most certainly didn't want to entrust a woman with his life and the lives of his army. So, he challenged Deborah's command by requesting that she join him and his Army in Battle. Barak was foolish because he was questioning God's Power, as well as Deborah's authority. Nevertheless Deborah agreed to join them in war but warned him that the Israelites would defeat the Canaanite's. She also warned Barak that the Canaanite's commander, Sisera would flee and his death would be at the Power of a Woman. She stated this because Barak had no faith in a woman's capability concerning war.

Just as Deborah stated, Sisera afraid for his life tried to flee after his entire army had died. Sisera went to Jael's tent the wife of Herber, a Kenite in hope for a safe haven. He went to Jael's tent because the Canaanite's were presumably at peace with the Kenite's. Jael offered Sisera a treat, which included warm milk. This milk like a baby put Sisera to sleep and as he slept Jael too a hammer forced a tent peg into his temple, killing him instantly. So, the prophesy of Deborah was fulfilled, it was at the hands of a woman, Sisera the commander of the Canaanites died.

These women executed "The Power of God" in their lives. Deborah relied of The Power of God for Wisdom and Jael relied upon The Power of God for Victory. Their collective efforts to obey God and execute The Power of God led to the prevention of rape and plunder of Israel women.

In this post, we find that Deborah was perceived to be a weak woman in Barak's eyes. He questioned her authority and judgment. Jael was perceived by Sisera to be kind, loving, and harmless. However, despite what they were perceived to be they knew who they were in Christ Jesus and walked in their Power he had given them. Their courageous acts led to the defeat of Israel's long time opposition with the Canaanites.

Ladies, know that "The Power of God" can be just as prominent in your life if you will allow Him. Don't be what they call you, walk in "The Power of God".

God desires to transition you into something much greater but you have to be willing to trust God and know that He has your best interest in mind. Start now making a sincere effort to hear the voice of God and be obedient to His voice, so that the promises of God may be fulfilled in your life as they were in the lives of Sarah and Abraham. Genesis Chapters 12-22. God Bless you. 5-15-2015

Your brokenness is a concern to God. He has warned us to come to Him when we are burdened with life issues, that He might give us rest. Your bloodshed tears are relevant to God. Revelations 21:4 states, "that God will wipe away all of our tears." So please note: you are not alone, what you feel another woman somewhere in this world feel also. Although you may both describe you issues differently; you should know that they are a major concern to God and He cares for you. I want to pray for you but how can I pray for you specifically, if I am not aware of your need. I am not trying to invade your privacy, instead; I would like you to know that someone cares and that someone is "me". So, although you have days where you feel as if you are broken in more pieces than you know or that you are tired of crying; hold your head up, wipe your eyes, and take one deep breath and smile. If you can do this you have shown the devil that he cannot defeat you with life's burdens, worries, obstacles, hurt, and pain. Remember those that sow in tears will reap in Joy. God Bless you my sister. 5-14-2015

Today, I encourage you to challenge your flesh by submitting to your spirit. I challenge you to tame your flesh and do less of what you want to do and more of what God has called you to do (I'm talking about your purpose)today. 5-11-2015
