I was looking back, over all the incredible Messages that God has given me to share. It sort of amazed me, one because it's an incredible body of work & also because He has never once let me down or had me sitting there not knowing what to say. If anything, there were many times where I'd have to spring up out of bed to begin capturing what was coming to me or stop wherever I was doing while out and about and text message myself the thoughts impressions, and scriptures that were being being spoon fed into my mind. I recently received an alert to renew the domain: TheMondayMorningMessage which served me in multiple ways. God reminded me, Renewal is His specialty!
Then the enemy tried to attack me; he began saying things to me like, "You're just wasting your money you know?"..."Nobody reads this, nobody cares!- Why hasn't anyone donated? Maybe you oughta just give up?!"
...Oh, I know that voice, and the Lord REBUKE YOU evil one!
The Lord assured me, He said, "My Word is all that matters and in MY WORD, I tell my sheep what to do and they listen!"- "My word has many precepts that command those whom I have blessed to give generously and to do so with a Glad and Joyous heart!- All you need do, is continue to share My word, as you do, do as I instruct you and provide the way for them to give."- "As the woman who was down to the last drops of oil in her vessel, I instructed her to gather more vessels and to prepare for what was to come!"- "Likewise, go prepare!"
I realized in that moment, #1 Yes, Father, I shall do as You say! I also realized that never once did I mention the Ministries needs to another (even though its been a constant). Whenever something was needed I simply provided. I did have a link on the site BUT it wasn't prominent or noticeable! So, as I have been instructed, I have created a page for it, which you can see here---->http://www.mondaymorningmessage.blogspot.com/p/sew-seed.html
Every Monday, for close to five years now, I have prepared and distributed the Monday Message; to 5 pages across facebook, 3 groups, a group on GodsFaithBook, to Spreaker for the podcast community & to the individual email group (who wish to have it delivered to their inbox's every week) That's 6 or more hours, every Monday (6x4=24), every month (24 x12=288 hrs a year. 288 x 4 years=1152 hours! I suppose that's a gross mis-estimate, as it doesn't include the hours of research but WOW!!! I do it because it DOES matter, it matters to Him, it matters to me and it matters to countless others! It's FOR HIM, because I love Him. I do it for you, because You are so loved! You are loved by Him as well as by me.
Nothing is going to stop me or prohibit me my friends! It's not only for the difference that it might make in your life but maybe it's for a future someone, someplace! It's a worthy endeavor that I have never regretted! It deserves to prosper and the vessels are now in place!
One thing I do know, is that I just trust God's word, He says that He can cause others to pour into our laps! So maybe, this OPPORTUNITY is facilitating God working on His children in areas where they need to regain obedience, who knows?!
This Ministry is now allowing the receipt of Tithes and offerings:

Heavenly Father, You provide gloriously for those that love and serve You. Father, I pray forward a blessing of duplication and increase to the highest degree for every person who donates. Lord, Your word says that the woman gave the 'mite' gave the greatest amount because it was all that she had, it was her willingness to be the blessing that caused he to give from the treasure of her heart. Lord, please deposit immediate indications to each of them that they have indeed set forth in motion, blessings of untold returns. In Jesus precious and might name AMEN!
Matthew 10:41
He that receives a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward; and he that receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward.LUKE 6:38
Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.
2 Corinthians 9:7
Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.
Malachi 3:10
10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.Proverbs 3:9-10
9 Honor the Lord with your wealth
and with the firstfruits of all your produce;
10 then your barns will be filled with plenty,
and your vats will be bursting with wine.
and with the firstfruits of all your produce;

Elijah and the Poor Woman

In the long ago days there was a poor woman who lived at
the seaside in a place called Zarephath. She had a little boy to love,
but she had no husband to work either for him or for her.
The fields of Zarephath were bare and brown. There had been no rain for so long that the ground was baked hard. Neither corn nor fruits would grow.
The widow of Zarephath had no money and no bread. She had a handful of flour in the barrel, and a little olive-oil in the jar, and that was all. Her little boy and she went out beyond the city gate to look for sticks to make a fire to bake one little cake.
While they were gathering sticks, they saw a stranger coming towards them. He wore a cloak of camel’s hair, fastened with a belt of leather. He said to the woman, "Please give me a drink of water."
And she was going to fetch it, he called to her, "Bring me, I beg, a piece of bread in your hand."
The woman knew that his name was Elijah. Now she said to him, "I have no loaf of bread, only a handful of flour in the barrel and a little olive oil in the jar, just enough to make one little cake for my son and myself. After that there will be nothing left."
Elijah said, "Don’t be afraid, but make me a little cake first. For this is what the Lord , the God of Israel, says, 'The jar of flour will not be used up and the jug of oil will not run dry until the day the Lord gives rain on the land.'"
And the kind widow woman lit her fire. She mixed her dough, and baked a little cake of bread. She gave it to Elijah, and lo! in the barrel there was still a handful of flour, and in the jar there was still a little olive oil. She was able to mix a cake for her little boy and herself to eat, and even yet there was more.
She let Elijah, who was God’s servant, stay at her house, and she gave him food. While he was there the barrel of flour never became empty, neither did the jar of olive oil fail. There was always enough for her, her son, and for Elijah.
