    I watch all the time at King of Kings International Ministry people being built up to become leaders, ministers, preachers, pastors, and teachers. You name it, God is building up leaders at the ministry. So I come home one Sunday after noon after service and turn on the TV and what do I see? I see a commercial on Fox 2 Detroit. The commercial goes on to say “Are you looking to become an American Idol? If so come try out and let us help you become an American Idol”. Ok as a faithful follower of my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ I look into his word and break these things down a bit. First the blatant and the obvious the word Idol. Idol is defined as a false god, an image used as an object of worship, or one that is adored often blindly or excessively. We won’t go into right now why masturbation is considered idolatry as well as lusting that’s for another day. But lets go further Exodus 20:3 says Thou shall have no other gods before me. This is the first part of the ten commandments. Then we can go to Galatians 5:20 where it labels Idolatry as a lust of the flesh and not a part of the fruits of the Spirit.

    Ok now we have God’s word on the situation this is where God speaks to me. I look at the TV and hear what they are saying, Satan’s objective is to separate the people from God and worship other things (Idol). He is telling people I will make you an idol. I will make you an image that people will be drawn to and they will become fascinated in you. That’s the world they are so focused on the TV characters being actors, athletes, and musicians that they don’t have any focus on God. I look at what God is doing, raising up leaders for the end time harvest that he is preparing to save while the Church is becoming perfected so the rapture can transpire before the tribulation. So God is pouring his all into people through leaders to reach more souls and Satan has his own camp running to offset peoples focus from the Prince of Peace Jesus Christ.

    It’s a shame to see people fall into these traps. I run into a lot of people and the Lord always comes up in my conversation. I don’t get how lightly people take there relationship with God. I don’t get how people can say I know Jesus Christ. My favorite one “Oh yes I am a Christian” while they are puffing on a cigarette”. I hear so many people say they know God and looking for answers but there actions show me something so different. 1 John 2:15 Love not the world neither the things that are in the world, If any man love the world, the love of the  father is not in him. God calls his people to live holy unto him Romans 12. God tells us to love the things he loves hate the things he hates. I never sit with judgment in my soul, I love people a lot. I got saved out of darkens I believe I have seen hell, in my mind I can’t figure out how people say they know God and even give him the glory and act in such a manor that is so far from him. I know what God expects from me and I am no special than any other human being on this earth so I know that he expects the same thing from every human being.

    I watch people make money and think that they know God and act in all kinds of sinful. There is a commitment that people need to make to God and the commitment is lacking I see in many people that I meet. It’s God first then everything else in there life. I see people get success and they give God glory and really they aren’t giving God any glory because there life speaks sin to other human beings and at the end of the day they are not helping anybody but to get them closer to hell. It’s a life style that God calls us to live fasting, praying, service unto him. Like it says in Mathew 6:24 Then Jesus said unto his disciples, if any man will come after me, he must deny himself, take up his cross and follow me. This is a powerful scripture and it lets you know that God asks us to commit fully to him. We can never bear the Lords cross but we can bear our own and stand up for righteousness in Jesus Christ. It’s an every minute walk to strive to please God.

    My final thoughts on Idolatry and the American Idol are this. Sin separates us from God. It’s just the truth it can take us away from hearing God in the manor that God needs to speak to us. If you can’t hear God clearly then you are jeopardizing the ability to make right decisions and the decisions you make take you either to the narrow path to heaven or the wide path to destruction. See what the enemy is doing in these end times. Repentance is the only prayer that God hears from a sinner that hasn‘t received salvation. Jesus died, was buried and resurrected after 3 days for the forgiveness of sins. If Idolatry or any other sin is taking you from God, fro being in his presence then repent and know that he will forgive. Take up your cross and follow him. See you in eternity forever. God Bless.

     Macomb County Real Estate is a great place to be in today. I think I already hear you say I am crazy. It is though. There is a lot of money to be made in a market that is suffering. Properties are so cheap and you can grab them up just in time for the rebound. If you take a look at hard times America has had they always recover. It’s just a matter of what?? Time!!! Yes time is the matter that we are going to be waiting on.
    Patience and wisdom are what I believe what will pay off for many investors. A strategy I really like for investors in this area if the cash allows you to do so is holding land contracts. It’s a really great solution to an economic collapse. You can set up a program with people that will allow them to own a home again and you won’t be a landlord to that property because it is there’s. My personal opinion is to provide an awesome product find a buyer that wants to buy with a larger deposit and make them happy homebuyers in a present year to come.
    As we know in the Macomb County Real Estate market it’s about being creative and buying right. Any strategy can work if you buy right and manage your business correctly. The land contract strategy I bring up because it not only helps people when they really desire to own a home again it also assumes you out of the landlord role. Creative Financing is the way to go if you can be patient in this market and wait for your return. Different strategies call for different situations.
    All I know is this that if you are being scared about a market we are in you will regret it later. Fear is a false presence in your life that you can subside by walking forward in faith. Grab a hold of your opportunity. Somebody told me this "poor is just a word for missed opportunities" no matter what market arises and what the economy brings there will always be an opportunity. The person that cease's the opportunity no matter what it may be doesn’t have to be real estate will bring them selves out of the bondage that they are in. Walk in faith and things start to change.

    It’s a new year on top of that it’s a new decade. I can’t imagine a better time to set goals for your life than now. It’s a new day and we can start my making goals of where we want to be in the years and months to come. Faith and persistence I believe sum up the words for my year in 2009. As we journey in life I find my self closer to God and wanting to impact a society with greater ability. I find my self working on the core of my being in 2009 and it will go forward this year. As I open my eyes to see the society I am aiming to make the business and my life have a bigger impact in the community. I take the motto for my company this year as being “revitalizing the community one house at a time”. That would by my yearly goal. I take a look back at the vision that I started with and try and set in place where I would like to go this year. I am satisfied with the progress that has been made in my life thought I would love to see more happen its all on the Lords time and patience isn’t called long-suffering for no reason.
    So this year I look to impact the community in a bigger way than I did last year. To step up in other areas other than business. I look at the days we live in and it is a shame where morals have gone and how society seemed to forget the root of this world and were it was established. That would be God (Gen 1). America will put out magazines that have the year of scandals, deaths, and glorify all the stars that make it seem like they are something better than any human being. Media will blow up who the biggest music artist whether they have any morals or not and the news will focus on the next murder (influenced by today‘s music) , next crime, and next politician that commits adultery on there wife like it was the first time that they committed these acts. The sacredness of the existence of this world has fallen and people have been deceived by glorified television starts, politicians, and music artists. I don’t think people take a look at the root of the existence what goes into there mind and it clearly shows through the actions of a society we live in today. Children exposed to sex so early that it normal to sleep with one another before marriage and ultimately I don’t think marriage means anything to a society that thinks homosexuals should be allowed to be married. What a time we live in. I thank God for hope that’s what keeps me inspired to keep moving every day I wake up.
    So this year and this decade I make it a goal to stay grounded in the roots that I have grown to know in my life that is Jesus Christ being the root. Life can be a journey in a good way and bad we have a will to choose what way to go. I take a stand to do what is good and right not what is bad and evil. I choose to respect my body and stay healthy. I choose to grow as a human being into what God has intended me to be so I can say when I die I moved everyday forward into what was destined for my life. I lived to many years regretting actions that I had taken in life. The only way I could get over those regrets is first find forgiveness then to take action in the purpose and course of what my life calls me to do. So if I wake up every morning and keep moving forward in faith I call it a successful day. I plan everyday of my life to be a successful day even through the storms, trails, tribulation I will stay focused persevere and walk in faith. Blood, sweat, and tears are no joke when you see a vision and go for it. My encouragement to any one who has a vision keep moving forward. My encouragement to those that have a business this year find a way to allow your business to impact the world that much more. Make it a greater year make it a greater decade recommit yourself to Jesus Christ God Bless you and yours enjoy 2010!
