Lakewood Chruch - Texas

Lakewood Chruch

Church Attendance* City, State Pastor
Lakewood Church 25,060 Houston, Tex. Joel Osteen

Recently I visited Lakewood. It had been my dream to go to that Church for a few years now. Thank God that this dream came true. I was (How was I ) I am trying to explain how I felt, I was really happy and excited as I got up that morning and was getting ready to go to Church . On the way to Church I was smiling ear to ear (Picture that using Joel's smile). I was awe struck the moment I saw Lakewood Church logo. I can't explain in words how I felt. I was confused and seemed lost for a few seconds trying to figure out which way to go and where to sit, so we can get a good seat. Well when God had taken me there , I shouldn’t have worried but I did (completely Human ). One of the ushers asked me if I was a visitor and asked me to follow her. She takes me and introduces me to another Usher who can seat me. He took me all the way to the front and seats me in the 2nd row.

Secondddddddddddddddddd row ...behind the Pastor and Dr. Paul Osteen. What an Honor!!! I was thinking and planning on getting a Good seat as you know it’s a huge church. But God put me in the 2nd row. Now does that ring a bell in your mind?

If not ...1. Trust God 2.If he starts something with you he will finish it .3.He won’t leave you confused or worried if he has taken you somewhere new. 4. Jehovah Jireh My Provider ...the list goes on and on...

It was an amazing service. Even though I wanted to see Joel. Joel didn’t show up ( I knew that before I went to that service ) But God Showed up. Praise God...That’s all I needed.

Check out some of the pictures I have taken while I was there.

Kind Regards,

The God of Justice

Today's Scripture

“Yet the LORD longs to be gracious to you; He rises to show you compassion. For the LORD is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for Him! (Isaiah 30:18 NIV)”.
Today's Word from Joel Osteen
Sometimes, unfair things happen. A relationship doesn't work out, or a friend betrays us. Maybe you worked really hard, but you didn't get the position you deserved. Life is not always fair. The good news is that even though life is not always fair, we serve a God who is fair. He is a God of justice. He sees every wrong that's ever been done to you. He sees every person that's ever hurt you, every unfair situation. If you will stay in faith and not get bitter, God has promised He will pay you back for every injustice that's ever been done to you. He said He would take what was meant for your harm, and He'll turn it around and use it to your advantage. And the great thing about God is if you keep the right attitude, if you'll wait for Him, He'll not only bring you out, He'll bring you out better off than you were before! God wants to make the enemy pay for bringing that trouble into your life. Be encouraged today that God is for you! He is working behind the scenes on your behalf. Praise Him and thank Him for showing His justice in your life today!

The 10 Commandments



Hi ,


I had a Good weekend ...watched 2 Movies. One of them was 10 Commandments. It was awesome. As I watched God's power engrave on that stone tablets I thought to myself ...wow the commandments are so simple yet so difficult to follow for many of us.


So this post is to remind you all of the 10 Commandments .




The 10 Commandments - God's Revelation in the Old TestamentThe 10 Commandments are found in the Bible's Old Testament at Exodus, Chapter 20. They were given directly by God to the people of Israel at Mount Sinai after He had delivered them from slavery in Egypt:


"And God spoke all these words, saying: 'I am the LORD your God…

ONE: 'You shall have no other gods before Me.'
TWO: 'You shall not make for yourself a carved image--any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.'
THREE: 'You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain.'
FOUR: 'Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.'
FIVE: 'Honor your father and your mother.'
SIX: 'You shall not murder.'
SEVEN: 'You shall not commit adultery.'
EIGHT: 'You shall not steal.'
NINE: 'You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.'
TEN: 'You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor's.'

The 10 Commandments - Christ's Summation in the New TestamentAbout 1,400 years later, the 10 Commandments were summed up in the New Testament at Matthew 22, when Jesus was confronted by the religious "experts" of the day:
"Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?" Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments" (Matthew 22:36-40).
A reflective reading of Christ's teaching reveals that the first four commandments given to the children of Israel are contained in the statement: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind." It continues that the last six commandments are enclosed in the statement: "Love your neighbor as yourself."

Happy Independence Day


India's Independence Day (Hindi: स्वतंत्रता दिवस) is celebrated on August 15 to commemorate its independence from British rule and its birth as a sovereign nation on that day in 1947. The day is a national holiday in India. It is celebrated all over the country through flag-hoisting ceremony and distribution of sweets. The main celebration takes place in New Delhi, where the Prime Minister raises the national flag at the Red Fort and delivers a nationally televised speech from its ramparts. In his speech, he highlights the achievements of the government during the past year, raises important issues and gives a call for further development. The prime minister also pays tribute to leaders of the freedom struggle.

Bihar in east India has three official languages - Hindi, Urdu and Bengali – which are all recognized by the central government. But Sikkim, also in east India, has four official languages of which only Nepali is recognized by the central government. Besides the languages officially recognized by central or state governments, there are other languages which don’t have this recognition and their speakers are running political struggles to get this recognition. Central government decided that Hindi was to be the official language of India and therefore it also has the status of official language in the states.
