BE A DREAMER WITH PASSION

WHAT MATTERS

10/30/2015

Dr. C. Branker

In order to capture the future, you need to have a dream.

 A dream that makes a difference from the ordinary.

Dreams  give vision and vision enhances imagination. 

Most dreamers are loners, because dreamers do not like to share their dreams.

A dreamer must believe that the dream is possible before sharing with anyone.

A dreamer dreams beyond the ability and capability of the present circumstances.

The world has advance in many ways by dreamers working their dreams. Yet, there are so many unspoken dreams in the hearts of thousands. Do not take your dream to the grave, share it with another dreamer and work it.

A dreamer, eventually gets the attention of all the doubters, antagonists, and opponents.

Walt Disney once said "I could never convince the financiers that Disneyland was feasible, because dreams offer too little collateral."

Work your dreams, and share with a selected few. 

Faith gives life to dreams.

FAITH IS A FACT, BUT IT IS ALSO AN ACT.

SEEK WISDON

WHAT MATTERS

10/30/2015

Dr. C. Branker

There are not many corrective remedies for foolishness.

Lots of books and parables have been written about choosing wisdom and how to be wise, but there is little about getting rid of foolishness.

According to scripture, foolishness can be part of someone's life from childhood. Proverbs 22:15, where it speaks about " THE ROD OF CORRECTION" driving it out.

Foolishness will ruin someone's life, (character) that men will despise and God will hate.

The parables about the wise man who built his house on the rock and the foolish who built on sand; the five wise virgins and the five foolish, are lessons on avoiding foolishness. But, how do we get rid of it?

Foolishness consist of wrong wishes, purposes, thoughts, pride, sin, silly speech and bad behavior.

Many people easily recognize foolishness, but cannot offer corrective measures.

A person acting foolishly must be corrected by bringing attention to their foolish deeds. This is the first step. 

 Secondly; lovingkindness, soft words and patience will be the ' rod of  correction' working with a foolish individual. 

Thirdly; thoughtfulness and prayer.

A FOOL CAN NEVER WIN AND STAY AHEAD!

DRAW GOOD ENERGY

WHAT MATTERS

10/28/2015

Dr. C. Branker.

A biological research team has made a groundbreaking discovery showing that plants can draw an alternative source of energy from other plants. If a plant is not getting enough light, it can draw through a single cell from another plant.

As flowers need water and light to grow, so too we as humans need oxygen, water, light and other food source.

While people can control what they say fairly easily, their energetic vibration cannot be faked because it is largely controlled by the subconscious mind, meaning that it is a direct reflection of their personal emotional energy. 

If you can read this correctly, you can get a very accurate read on someone.

Martin Luther King Jr. Was not the only man who felt he had to do something about racial inequality and injustice, but many drew energy from him, when he spoke and marched in the streets of Alabama.

Associate yourself with the right people who can agree with, draw from, and accomplish your goals. They need your energy, and you need theirs.

AVOID SUCKERS.

RISK OR FAITH

WHAT MATTERS

10/27/2015

Dr. C. Branker.

Comfort zones, can become the biggest set backs in life.

We all come to that place in our life, where we find a comfort zone. That place that make us feel like we can settle in this job or situation and everything will be fine for a while.

Taking risk, is the anthesis to comfort zones and using faith.

There are so many businessmen and women with profitable future companies, who have not left their comfort zones. They are working someone else business.

If we buy a lawn mower, because we believe the grass will grow and need cutting every two weeks, then use that same FAITH, for your future.

Risk, is not as powerful as faith.

Risk has doubt, but faith is connected to a source; yet many successful people take risk every day.

TAKE THAT LEAP!

STAY CONNECTED

WHAT MATTERS

10/26/2015

Dr. C. Branker

I read the following article in a news report. Russian submarines and spy ships are aggressively operating near the vital undersea cables that carry almost all global Internet communications, raising concerns among some American military and intelligence officials that the Russians might be planning to attack those lines in times of tension or conflict.

Can you imagine if this happens? The world will go into a communication halt, that will disrupt life as we know it. From banking to to all other business operations.

Faith is the connection to our Heavenly Father. No one can cut nor sabotage this line.

Exercise and use your source daily. This pleases Him. Hebrews 11:6.

BRAND NEW DAY

WHAT MATTERS

10/23/2015

Dr. C. Branker

The world woke up today to a brand new day.

A day no human being has ever seen nor lived in before, there was no history of this day nor records of nations nor testimonies of individuals.

God, the author and creator of this day, already knew from the foundations of the earth, every thing about this day.

Those who will be born and those who will die. 

He knows those who will blessHim today by their faithfulness and love for Him.

You too can be a part of history this day, seek the Lord's will for your future and live joyfully.

Psalm 118:24

THE GOOD FATHER

WHAT MATTERS

10/22/2015

Dr. C. Branker.

A miraculous lifestyle, is the life of every believer in Jesus Christ.

As an earthly father, I know how to bless my children with good gifts when they ask of me.

It is in my heart and soul to make it happen for them, from the time they were little children.

That paternal instinct never goes away from a good father. 

My blessings goes beyond the doors of my house even to strangers and those in foreign lands. Whether it is a pair of shoes or a plate of food, to help a stranger as a Christian is like part of my DNA.

The God we serve is our Heavenly Father. There is no comparison to His love and kindness toward everyone.

Matthew 7:11 " If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!"

DO NOT BE  DOUBTFUL, ASK IN FAITH.

UNRELENTING FAITH

WHAT MATTERS

10/21/2015

Dr. C. Branker

Great faith,  is your belief and persistence, that God can change your situation.

Believing  that He is able, when the physical  manifestation of your burden is before you and you need a miracle soon.

He doesn't  wait us out to test our patience nor our faith, but marvels with our tenacity to believe His word.

The more we walk in the confidence of His love, is  the more we experience His presence and the supernatural life He gave us.

The Lord knows those, whose faith is unrelenting and motivated by love.

USE YOUR AUTHORITY

WHAT MATTERS

10/20/2015

Dr. C. Branker

Faith is the authority you exercise, over the present adverse thing.

It destroys, it heals, It creates miracles signs and wonders and much more.

God always respond, when faith is demonstrated. We can only please Him by faith, and He has given us the faith for the journey of this life.

Faith is our God-given fruit and gift to live a supernatural life.

When we exercise faith, we exercise our authority over earthly things. When we doubt, we are consumed by those things. Then; we are mentally and physically stressed to our own demise.

We perish for not knowing this.

Speak to the conditions that oppose you. 

USE YOUR AUTHORITY!

STRONG FAITH

WHAT MATTERS

10/18/2015

Dr. C. Branker

If you are living in faith today, keep that lifestyle strong.

Faith assures the Supernatural hand of God in our lives, and establishes the Kingdom of God here on earth. 

Children of the Kingdom, are those who have accepted His salvation through the finish work at Calvary, and are waiting the return of the King of Kings, Jesus Christ.

Faith also allows us to conquer every thing that God intended for us and destroy all enemies that rise up against us.

The Lord expects us to walk in victory for His name sake.

He asked the question, "When the Son of man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?"

HE IS COUNTING ON YOU !!!

USE YOUR POTION WELL

WHAT MATTERS

10/16/2015

Dr. C. Branker

Everyone is given a portion of Faith.

 Faith is the gift which God uses to connect to all Humanity. It transcends the seen world to the unseen, the natural to the supernatural.

Active faith, pleases God; and He will move on your behalf.

Your faith can be active or inactive. Active when it is used without doubt. 

Inactive, when there is doubt. 

Jesus responded to people when He saw their faith or lack of it.

"WHERE IS YOUR FAITH ?" Luke 8:25

"O YOU OF LITTLE FAITH". Matthew 8:26.

"I HAVE NOT FOUND SUCH GREAT FAITH DEMONSTRATED IN ISREAL" Matthew 8:10.

Praying daily, reading and hearing God's word, fellowship with God; make faith active and strong.

NEVER LOOSE FAITH, THE PRECIOUS GIFT AND FRUIT FROM GOD!

I AM

WHAT MATTERS

10/15/2015

Dr. C. Branker

The unseen and unknown God was a new concept to the Hebrews living in Egypt.

The Egyptians had a visible image of all their gods, displayed where everyone could see.

Pharaoh himself was man, ruler and god. He held the title 'Lord of two lands and High Priest of every temple'. 

Coming out of Egypt, there was no visible God for them to see.

The people's desire to see an image, caused Aaron to respond to their request, to  fashioned jewelry into a golden calf; which brought corruption and great trouble against them. 

Aaron, announced, "This is what the god of Israel looks like, who brought you out of Egypt".

God corrected that ignorance quickly in Exodus 20: 1-4.

"I AM THE LORD YOUR GOD WHO BROUGHT YOU OUT.

YOU SHALL HAVE NO OTHER  gods BEFORE ME

YOU SHALL NOT MAKE TO YOURSELVES CARVED IMAGES".

God demonstrated His power over all the gods of the Egyptians.

Yahweh, speaking with Moses from a burning bush and by a voice on the mountain, was not a visible God like the gods of the Egyptians. 

Moses, still had a deep desire to have a visible appearance, of The God behind the voice he kept hearing. Exodus 33:18. He asked God, " Please show me Your glory"

God responded. I WILL MAKE ALL MY GOODNESS PASS BEFORE YOU.

                            I WILL PROCLAIM MY NAME, I WILL BE GRACIOUS,

                             I WILL HAVE COMPASSION, BUT YOU CANNOT SEE MY FACE, ELSE YOU DIE.

God, in His grace and compassion, allowed Himself to be contained in a box (Ark of the covenant approximately 45 ins. X 25 ins. X 27 ins) as a visible presence among His people, throughout their generations.

Hebrews 11:6. " But without faith, it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

KEEP YOUR FAITH STRONG BY DILIGENTLY SEEKING GOD.

KEEP YOUR FAITH STRONG

WHAT MATTERS

10/14/2015

Dr. C. Branker

There has never been a shortage of religion and myths in the world. Deriving from ancient tribes to connect with deities for betterment and fulfillment of their lives.

From the Egyptians, to the Greeks  to the  Romans, gods and goddesses filled the world with statues and temples. 

Mexico to the  South America the Aztecs were not short of gods and temples to which they too constantly offer sacrifices.

The Hebrews in Egypt, kept faith in their hearts for over 400 years. They taught their generations, of Yahweh, meaning "I AM THE ONE".

  God of their fore-father Abraham, to whom they continually called upon for deliverance from slavery and bondage.

One day, Moses and Aaron had a meeting with Pharaoh,

" The God of the Hebrews has met us."Exodus 5:3. 

 This was the beginning of the end of Pharaoh's control over God's people.

Jesus said, " Though the Father bears long, with His saints, He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when he returns, will He find faith on the earth?"

HOLD ON, JESUS SOON COME!!!

PRAYER TAKES YOU HIGHER

WHAT MATTERS

10/13/2015

Dr. C. Branker

One of the most daring acts of humanity was performed by a tight rope walker by the name of Blondin.

He crossed Niagara falls about 300 times, and walked on his rope more than 10,000 miles in his lifetime 

Men and women fainted as they watched him walked suspended 70 feet in the air, and vowed never to watch anything like that again.

He started practicing at age four and never stopped. Every time he walked, his confidence grew and so he attempted greater, higher and longer walks.

So to with prayer, the more we prayer, the stronger our faith becomes. Every answer to our prayer, gives confidence and assurance that God hears our prayers. The frequency of your prayers, is like being in the clouds all by yourself; because you have done it before.

Blondin became so confident, he once took a table, a chair and a small stove which he lit and cooked an egg while suspended on his rope.

He died at 73 of complications with diabetes. No one, he'd always joked, would take the risk.

Prayer is not a risk, it builds faith and takes you to higher heights. Walk with confidence.

THINK HEALTHY THOUGHTS

WHAT MATTERS

10/12/2015

Dr. C. Branker

A man's character and life is the sum of his thoughts.

Long before words are spoken or action taken, thoughts were generating the outcome.

Great things have been created and manifested by individuals who thoughtfully and strategically organized what they were thinking.

At the same time, others have created unseen prison walls around themselves, which only exist in their mind. They are the warden of their cells, with the keys locked away in their thoughts.

A wise man once said " As a man thinks in his heart, so is he".

To change course, depends on his desire to change his thinking pattern about himself and his life.

Positive thoughts, will produce positive results. Negative thoughts will only destroy that which is possible. 

Take control of thoughts today and master your outcome.

WE ARE OUR BROTHERS KEEPERS

WHAT MATTERS

10/8/2015

Dr. C. Branker

It is a shame in society today, to have to create neighborhood watches.

We have been over come by evil acts of others and the lack of concern by neighbors.

Everyone hopes, that he or she is not the next victim of a burglar destroying everything.

The fear of getting involve causes people to turn a blind eye and remain silent in some neighborhoods.

The birds do a much better job protecting their nest. I noticed a hawk landed too close to the nest of a blue jay; she send out a screeching alarm, and immediately about six other bluejays arrived on the seen.

This was too much for the hawk to deal with; it flew off in the distance with blue jays trailing.

We are our brothers keepers, and we need to sound the alarm against every enemy.

GOD SITS ON THE CIRCLE OF THE EARTH

WHAT MATTERS

10/7/2015

Dr. C. Branker

God sits above the circle of the earth and He determines its circuit.  

The circle of man's life remains the same, though some try to widen their circle to do and accomplish more; there are still 24 hours in a day and that is divided between day and night.

The circle of life consist of Birth, Growth, Reproduction and Death.

A man is  required to acknowledge God, care for his family and lead them to the obedience of God's word.

When a man does different, in essence, he is trying to widen the circle of his life without God.

He tries to work through life extra hard, yet finding it difficult to accomplish his goals.

Pushing a wheel-barrow up hill is not an easy task, so too living with a wider circle where there is no God.

COME BOLDLY BEFORE HIM

WHAT MATTERS

10/6/2015

Dr. C. Branker

Too many people are overly concerned about God's feelings towards them. 

I get the questions often, concerning whether God is pleased with me or not. It seems to me that some people rather live a guilt-trip life, instead of a faith-filled relationship experience with the Lord. Their thoughts constantly come  short of doing everything right. 

This is double-mindedness. God has prepared a fast lane to His presence through His son Jesus Christ. Here is the instruction!

James 4:8 " Draw near to God  and He will draw near to you, Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded". 

What a Gracious God, who seeks fellowship with those who love Him!!!

HE IS FAITHFUL

WHAT MATTERS

10/5/2015

Dr. C. Branker

One of the great blessings in obedience to  God, is His faithfulness.

The journey to get closer to God may seem like a lifetime road trip; but  it only takes one step into His outstretched arms.

A penitent heart in His presence gets His attention, for He is a forgiving God.

Moses learned this about God after many encounters with His people in the wilderness.

Finally, he was able to instruct Joshua with confidence at the Jordan River.

Deuteronomy 31:8. " And the Lord, He is the one who goes before you, He will be with you, He will not leave you nor forsake you; do not fear nor be dismayed".  WHAT LOVE!

CONSIDER THE ANT

WHAT MATTERS

10/2/2015

Dr. C. Branker

I recently did a study on ants. 

I realize that it is just a waste of time, effort and  money trying to win the war on fighting ants. 

I got my share of ants in my yard, and many times had to pull off my boots and socks to attend to the pain they have inflicted.

 Suggested to be the smartest insect on the planet, and have the largest brain mass of all insects. Ants are intelligent, methodical, and strategic. They know how to send scouts out for food. They know how to delegate responsibility between hunting/gathering and defending their home. And they can direct traffic better than any streetlight or cop. Ants are extremely territorial and they will not hesitate to let invaders know that. They also know how to adapt to their changing environment, or to change their environment to suit their needs. 

Many animals are not mentioned in the scriptures by name, but the ants made it. We are to consider the ants and get wisdom. Proverb: 6:6.

NO GIVING UP

WHAT MATTERS

10/1/2015

Dr. C. Branker

Sometimes unbelief could be synonymous with quitting.

We hear many stories of people who had dreams and quit because of set backs and many obstacles. We also hear of others who persevered against every obstacle and accomplished their goals.

Thomas Edison told a reporter he knew definitely 9000 ways a light bulb would not work.  "Success is almost in my grasp." And shortly after that, and over 10,000 attempts, Edison invented the light bulb.

The brother of faith is tenacity and tenacity is driven by Hope. Hope to see required results.

If you are sure about your calling, your gifts, your God-given assignment; failure should not be in the equation. (Don't even think about giving up). Keep on trying.

Matthew 17: 20.
