Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. Isaiah 41:10

Our Father’s Extravagance

"In Romans 8:32, there is an important piece of logic that is extremely helpful in guarding us from becoming overwhelmed by our circumstances.

“If God didn’t hesitate to put everything on the line for us, embracing our condition and exposing himself to the worst by sending his own Son, is there anything else he wouldn’t gladly and freely do for us?”

How could we possibly think that God would send Jesus to die for us and then turn mean and stingy?"
"This means that the truth of God’s generosity to us, seen in the death of Christ, must have a stronger impact in our thinking than all of the doubts that the crucible may generate inside us."
"Spend some time meditating on the truth that God has given Jesus to die in your place, and that this incredible generosity continues in a thousand different ways for you today.

Notes from the interview today with Dejon Reid, a true survivor who sees gratitude as a must !

Topic for this week: Gratitude is a Must !
Our special guest in studio today Is: Mr Dejon Reid (SVP Sales)

His Parents instilled good values in him and his siblings
He grew up in a disciplined household, with especially my father being a JDF officer
I learnt life lessons
Moving to a new country, new job and home challenges: starting all over is never easy!
You have to do what you need to in order to pay the bills

Have you ever had the What If syndrome !!
- Well I was going to use my savings to buy a one-way ticket to return home, but I changed my mind and decided never to give up and God helped me to get through the tough times and I am now rejoicing and giving Him praise!
I now manage moving consultants across the Tristate, with a large moving fleet, managing the sales team to connect with clients (we serve students, wall street and celebrity clients)
As a mentor I help youths and adults and offer anger management.
All of us get angry, but it’s what you do in response that makes the difference
All of us have influence, so direct it for good
You are not here by mistake
My dad (now deceased) taught me: Whatever you do, do it to the best of your ability, even if you are street sweeper, be proud of what you do.

My mother ensured that as a male I was domesticated and could take care of my wife and family in all aspects and not have to depend on a woman solely for my wellbeing.
Take a leap of faith and go out and get what you need to achieve and claim it through Christ
- Change your way of thinking
- Be determined
- Change your process, be bold!
Align yourself with successful individuals who can speak positive things and success into your life
Don’t be distracted, set your goals and move towards achieving them

Most of all, HAVE A HEART OF GRATITUDE!!

A Shelter in the time of Storm

Christ Jesus is coming soon and He loves us inspite of ourselves, He wants us to choose life in him rather than death offered by falling prey to the master deceiver Satan/ the devil.

He can stop our enemies before they come, but if he does so we won’t have a reason to strengthen our faith in Him.
We need to be faith-filled and not fear-filled!
No matter how big the waves are, Jesus can rebuke them and calm them- Peace be still
Quit looking for someone else to be your solution
There is only one person that can calm your storm!



Imagine being tempted to sin and you give in and suffer the consequences, then being laughed at by the one who deceived you in the 1st place.

We need to wake up and have our eyses wide open ( as the youth would say, I am "woke" are you?)
Despite what is happening around you, Satan/ the devil will NOT have the last world !!

Even He knows that God Almighty, the Creator of this Universe has already won the battle for those who have chosen Him as their Saviour and Lord of their life.

If you have not done so or even thought about it before now, then consider choosing God as your redeemer and friend.

I don’t know what your storm is but
you can be rescued,
you can be saved by Christ Jesus!

Bible Texts:
Job 42:6 Proverbs 28:13

Servitude
It's Black History Month in some parts of the world

I hope you have come prepared to learn today

Exodus 21:2 King James Version
2 If thou buy an Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve: and in the seventh, he shall go out free for nothing.


1 Peter 2:18-20 King James Version
18 Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward.
19 For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully.
20 For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.


The 1st Black Queen of England

Queen Philippa
*Philippa of Hainault was born on this date in 1310. She was the first Black Queen of England.
Philippa was of Black Moorish ancestry, born in Valenciennes in the County of Hainaut in the Low Countries of northern France. Her parents were William I, Count of Hainaut, and Joan of Valois, Countess of Hainaut, granddaughter of Philip III of France. Philippa was one of eight children and the second of five daughters and became the wife of King Edward III. Her eldest sister Margaret married the German King Louis IV in 1324; and in 1345, she succeeded their brother William II, Count of Hainaut, upon his death in battle.
Philippa married Edward at York Minster, on January 24, 1328, eleven months after his accession to the English throne. Unlike many of her predecessors, Philippa did not alienate the English people by retaining her foreign entourage upon her marriage or by bringing large numbers of foreigners to the English court. As Isabella did not wish to relinquish her own status, Philippa's coronation was postponed for two years. She eventually was crowned queen on March 4, 1330, at Westminster Abbey when she was almost six months pregnant and she gave birth to her first son, Edward, the following June.
In October 1330, King Edward commenced his personal rule when he staged a coup and ordered the arrest of his mother and Mortimer. Shortly afterward, the latter was executed for treason, and Queen Dowager Isabella was sent to Castle Rising in Norfolk, where she spent a number of years under house arrest but with her privileges and freedom of movement later restored to her by her son. Of her children, Phillipa outlived nine of them. Three of her children died of the Black Death in 1348. The eldest of her fourteen children was Edward, the Black Prince, who became a renowned military leader.

Philippa died of an illness similar to edema on August 15, 1369, in Windsor Castle. She was given a state funeral on January 9, 1370, and was interred at Westminster Abbey. Her tomb is on the northeast side of the Chapel of Edward the Confessor and on the opposite side of Edward I and Eleanor of Castile and great grandfather Henry III. Her alabaster effigy executed by sculptor Jean de LiĂšge. Eight years later Edward III died and was buried next to her. The Queen's College, Oxford was founded in her honor.

She is best remembered as the kind woman who, in 1347, persuaded her husband to spare the lives of the Burghers of Calais, whom he had planned to execute as an example to the townspeople following his successful siege of that city. This popularity helped maintain peace in England throughout Edward's long reign. Philippa was a patron of the chronicler Jean Froissart, and she owned several illuminated manuscripts, one is currently being housed in the national library in Paris. William's counties of Zealand and Holland as well as of the seigniory of Frieze were devolved to Margaret after an agreement between Philippa and her sister Margaret. Edward III of England, in the name of his wife Philippa, demanded the return of Hainaut and other inheritances which had been given over to the Dukes of Bavaria–Straubing, in 1364–65; he was not successful.

the 2nd Balck Queen of England:

Queen Charlotte of England, 1863 portrait
*Princess Sophie Charlotte was born on this date in 1744. She was the second Black Queen of England. Philippa of Hainault was the first Black Queen of England.
Charlotte was the eighth child of the Prince of Mirow, Germany, Charles Louis Frederick, and his wife, Elisabeth Albertina of Saxe-Hildburghausen. In 1752, when she was eight years old, Sophie Charlotte's father died. As princess of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, Sophie Charlotte was descended directly from an African branch of the Portuguese Royal House, Margarita de Castro y Sousa. Six different lines can be traced from Princess Sophie Charlotte back to Margarita de Castro y Sousa.
George I of Great Britain’s grandmother was Elizabeth Stuart The Winter Queen of Bohemia and the daughter of James VI of Scotland and James I of England and subsequently Great Britain. George I was the grandfather of Charlotte's eventual husband (George III). As a Protestant and a descendant of the Stuart Kings he was chosen to become king. The long lineage of Scottish kings and queens is often sidelined in the ancestry of the current royal family.
She married George III of England on September 8, 1761, at the Chapel Royal in St James’s Palace, London, at the age of 17 years of age becoming the Queen of England and Ireland. The conditions of the marriage contract were, ‘The young princess, join the Anglican church and be married according to Anglican rites, and never ever involve herself in politics’. Although the Queen had an interest in what was happening in the world, especially the war in America, she fulfilled her marital agreement. The Royal couple had fifteen children, thirteen of whom survived to adulthood. Their fourth eldest son was Edward Augustus, Duke of Kent, later fathered Queen Victoria.
Queen Charlotte made many contributions to Britain as it is today, though the evidence is not obvious or well publicized. Her African bloodline in the British royal family is not common knowledge. Portraits of the Queen had been reduced to fiction of the Black Magi, until two art historians suggested that the definite African features of the paintings derived from actual subjects, not the minds of painters.
In Queen Charlotte’s era slavery was prevalent and the anti-slavery campaign was growing. Portrait painters of the royal family were expected to play down or soften Queen Charlotte's African features. Painters such as Sir Thomas Lawrence, who painted, Queen Charlotte in the autumn of 1789 had their paintings rejected by the royal couple who were not happy with the representations of the likeness of the Queen. These portraits are amongst those that are available to view now, which could be seen as continuing the political interests of those that disapprove of a multi-racial royal family for Britain.
Sir Allan Ramsey produced the most African representations of the Queen and was responsible for the majority of the paintings of the Queen. Ramsey’s inclination to paint truer versions of the Queen could be seen to have come from being ‘an anti-slavery intellectual of his day. The Coronation painting by Ramsey, of the Queen was sent out to the colonies/commonwealth and played a subtle political role in the anti-slavery movement. Johann Zoffany also frequently painted the Royal family in informal family scenes.
Queen Charlotte was a learned woman, her letters indicate that she was well read and had interests in the fine arts. The Queen is known to have supported and been taught music by Johann Christian Bach. She was extremely generous to Bach’s wife after Bach’s death. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, at aged eight dedicated his Opus 3 piece to the Queen at her request. Also an amateur botanist, Queen Charlotte helped to establish Kew Gardens bringing amongst others the Strelitzia Reginae, a flowering plant from South Africa. The Queen who had the first one in her house in 1800 introduced the Christmas tree to England. It was said to be decorated with, ‘sweetmeats, almonds and raisins in papers, fruit and toys. Also the Queen Charlotte Maternity hospital was established in London. Set up as a charitable institution, it is the oldest maternity care institution in England.
Queen Charlotte died on November 17, 1818 at Dutch House in Surrey, now Kew Palace, in the presence of her eldest son, the Prince Regent. She is buried at St George’s Chapel, Windsor. The only private writings that have survived are Queen Charlotte's 444 letters to her closest confidant her older brother, Charles II, Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Strelitz. On 23 May 1773 in a letter, the Queen felt she was in a position of privilege yet a task. Her Christian faith was a protection and a method of endurance, as she quotes from the Bible and recognizes her role as a royal of God beyond her royal role on earth. An exhibition took place in 2004, at the Queen’s Gallery, Buckingham Palace displaying Charlotte and George’s collections and tastes in the arts.
Queen Charlotte was the great great-great grandmother of the present Queen Elizabeth II who still lives in the expanded Buckingham House, now Buckingham Palace. Kew gardens still flourishes and is always being expanded, also the Queen Charlotte maternity hospital and many other places still carry her name in honor globally such as Charlotte town, Canada and Fort Charlotte, St Vincent, West Indies.

While Black History Month is synonymous with prominent figures such as Martin Luther King Jr., Harriet Tubman, Rosa Parks, Muhammad Ali, Jackie Robinson, Langston Hughes, Maya Angelou, George Washington Carver and Barack Obama, there are countless others who've made a profound impact in history

Mary Seacole

Mary Jane Seacole (born Grant;[2][3] 23 November 1805 – 14 May 1881)[4] was a British-Jamaican nurse and businesswoman[5][6][7][8][9] who set up the "British Hotel" behind the lines during the Crimean War. She described this as "a mess-table and comfortable quarters for sick and convalescent officers", and provided succour for wounded service men on the battlefield, and nursed many of them back to health.

Coming from a tradition of Jamaican and West African "doctresses", Seacole displayed "compassion, skills and bravery while nursing soldiers during the Crimean War", through the use of herbal remedies.[5][10] She was posthumously awarded the Jamaican Order of Merit in 1991. In 2004, she was voted the greatest black Briton.[11]
Mary Seacole relied on her skill and experience as a healer and a female doctor from Jamaica.


Beryl Gilroy

Beryl Gilroy is heralded as one of the most extensively published Caribbean writers of her time. She is remembered as not only an innovative writer, but as a teacher and psychologist as well.
From the age of 12 Gilroy was in formal schooling and at 19 she attended Georgetown’s teacher training college, graduating with a first-class diploma in 1945. She arrived in London in 1952 and initially found it difficult to secure employment as a teacher. However, with her teaching career previously established in her hometown and further training in London (gaining a Diploma in Child Development and a BSc in Psychology from London University), she was soon able to gain valuable knowledge and experience of the English education system.
During this period she met her husband, Patrick, with whom she had two children. The death of her husband in 1975 affected her greatly.
Psychology and Gilroy’s later writings
In 1982 Gilroy joined London University's Institute of Education and the Ilea's Centre for Multicultural Education. Gilroy’s desire for learning was strong and she studied psychology which in turn led to a doctorate in ethno-psychology.
In the mid-80s Gilroy returned to writing, publishing her first novel Frangipani House in 1986. Among many other works.
Gilroy’s last novel, The Green Grass Tango (2001), was published posthumously following her death in April of that year.

Hebrews 7:19 King James Version
For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God.

I pray that as we explore the bible and the law today you will be edified as we learn together

We reviewed the seminal case of Donoghue v Stevenson [1932] A.C. 562, [1932] UKHL 100, 1932 S.C. (H.L.) 31, 1932 S.L.T. 317, [1932] W.N. 139.
Facts in Donoghue v Stevenson
On August 26 1928, Mrs Donoghue’s friend bought her a ginger-beer from a cafe
She consumed about half of the bottle, which was made of dark opaque glass, when the remainder of the contents was poured into a tumbler. At this point, the decomposed remains of a snail floated out causing her alleged shock and severe gastro-enteritis.

Mrs Donoghue was not able to claim through breach of warranty of a contract: she was not party to any contract. Therefore, she issued proceedings against Stevenson, the manufacturer.

Issues
The question for the HoL was if the manufacturer owed Mrs Donoghue a duty of care in the absence of contractual relations contrary to established case law

Indeed, it could be interpreted as narrow as to establish a duty not to sell opaque bottles of ginger-beer, containing the decomposed remains of a dead snail, to Scottish widows.



There is always hope, so keep the faith knowing that there is always an alternative.

Christ is our Hope.
