Savoir Faire ( The Devil) Is Everywhere

Good afternoon and Happy Friday. Growing up I was one who loved cartoons. One of my favorite was Bugs Bunny. I liked how he had several characters that wanted to do him harm but never could. I also liked The Roadrunner who could always out Wil E Coyote. But one the cartons that interested me was Klondike Kat. Klondike Kat was a cartoon character who was a Canadian Mountie that is like being a policeman. Klondike Kat had a nemesis who a mouse always stole from others and his name was Savoir Faire. Savoir Faire had a saying that went as " Savoir Faire is Everywhere". Although this character was not real there is some one who is real, and that is the Devil and please know he is everywhere. Savoir Faire ( The Devil) Is Everywhere.
 I have two wonderful jobs that I enjoy. Even though I work in the customer service industry and deal with many people I enjoy what I do. I am going to college and have been on the Dean's List for all
the time I have been going ( that is 10 straight quarters and I thank God for allowing me to do this). I still am angry, sad and confused at times and I think I know why. Savoir Faire ( The Devil) Is Everywhere.
In going to the Word Of God to illustrate that Savoir Faire is Everywhere I go to  Genesis 3:1-5. In these scriptures we see how the serpent ( The Devil ) was able to make a great situation like living in
the Garden of Eden, into an angry situation. Most of us are living decently and still are not happy because we are always angry and distracted by the Devil. Savoir Faire ( the Devil) is Everywhere.
In going to the Word of God again for this teaching of Savoir Faire is Everywhere I go to Job 1:6-7. In these verses Satan is in the presence of God after he has been to and fro on the earth looking to
cause sadness among those who inhabit the earth. Even today as we wonder why we are sad all the time when life should be good it is because of Satan. Savoir Faire ( The Devil) is Everywhere.
In going to the Word of God once more for this teaching of Savoir Faire is Everywhere I go to Matthew 4:1-11. In this passage we see where Satan is trying to confuse the Son of God about who is
really in charge. Among the people of God Satan attempts to confuse us about which denomination is the right one or which church is truly anointed. Savoir Faire ( the devil) is Everywhere.
In closing we must equip ourselves to the tricks of the Devil. We must be proactive and seek guidance in the Word of God. We must attend things such as Sunday School and Bible Study. We must be prepared for when the enemy is tying to make us angry, sad and confused. For like the cartoon character Savoir Faire, the Devil is Everywhere. May God bless those who read this and have a Merry Christmas.

Chosen

Good afternoon and Wonderful Wednesday. Growing as a boy on the southside of Chicago my friends and I played sports. The sports would range from strike out, softball, football and even basketball. Unlike in most sports there was never a set team. Captains would be responsible for picking who they wanted on their teams and most times would pick there friends first or someone with athletic ability that would make their team a winner. I was always younger than others and a bit overweight so there would be times that I had to hope that someone picked me. As I grew older and finally embraced the Word of God like I should have there is no longer a question if I have been picked. I had been Chosen.
In beginning this teaching I want to define the word chosen and I go to my source of definitions and that is dictionary.com. Chosen means as follows; selected from several; preferred. As we go on with
our everyday existence we have been selected from several to be part of the kingdom of God. We are also preferred as we have been tried and tested and came out still blessed. It is because your are Chosen.
In the first example for this teaching on Chosen I go to Ezekiel 1:28. In previous verses (1-27) Ezekiel saw some things he had never saw before and had to wonder what it was. Then once he knew
the voice belonged to God he then knew that he was Chosen. Most times we as a people of faith have assignment that may seem to virtually impossible but we are selected from several to perform what God has for us. We are Chosen.

As I continue in the Word of God for this teaching of Chosen I go Matthew 4:18-22. In this passage Jesus picks out four men who were not the most learned and considered by people of this time to be
as not as important as the Pharisees, the scribes and the Saduccees. Many of us have what to some perceive as a lack of income or prestige in the eyes of the world but it does not matter as we have been Chosen to do the work of the Lord.
In coming to the last example from the Word of God for this teaching on Chosen I go to Revelations 17:13-14. In these verses it speaks of how people in the world are content on destroying the
kingdom of God in the last days. But those who are with the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords have been deemed not only faithful but Chosen as well. We must continue to walk with God even in these troubling times.
In closing the work of the Lord is done by all those who accepted God as the Father, Jesus as the Son and the Holy Spirit as their guide. Being Chosen is not easy and the scriptures I shared in this lesson is a prime example of that. Ezekiel was a captive which means a prisoner, the disciples endured, heckling, beatings and even death in the name of Jesus, and even towards the last day there are things that want to war with the people of God. God selected us all from several walks of life and we are also preferred anybody else We are the Chosen no matter what your assignment in the Kingdom of God is. I give God all the honor and glory for this teaching. God bless each one that reads this teachings. Attend the Sunday School of your choice and learn how you can spread the gospel.
