Agape Blog Ministry: God's Garden
Agape Blog Ministry: GOD HAS A LOVE GARDEN. DO WE?
By Tony Melody of Agape Blog Ministry
Imagine a garden with rows of huge beautiful trees. With columns of luxurious pleasant trees.
These trees bears fruits of the character traits in 1 Corinthians 13 Love Chapter.
There is the tree of patient. The tree of kindness.
There are the trees that mark, NO ENVY, NO BOASTING, NO PRIDE.
These trees bear the fruits to the Father pleasure.
The seed of No Envy He has planted toward His creation has brought back the pleasant fruits people and being, friends and foes, are giving back to Him.
In life we sometime get annoyed when friends and enemies envy us. We would all sometime wish people don't envy or hate us for who we are or what we have. We sometime want to enjoy this fruit of No Envy.
The Father has a garden of NO ENVY trees. A harvest of people who don't envy Him...
WHO DON'T HATE HIM.
Where there's hatred, there's the return of lost prodigal sons. The return of lost souls.
He has a garden of NO BOASTING, NO PRIDE--He has trees that bears the fruits of HUMILITY.
Those who don't boast, those who are not filled with pride, are those who are humble.
The Father will enjoy the seeds of humility when His people are humble toward Him. When they don't boast about their strength, their wisdoms, their ways.
He get pleasure when His people humbles themselves and pray. When they humbles themselves and seek His face. When they turn from their ways.
It will give Him pleasure to see His children humble. It give Him pleasure to HEAL THEIR LAND.
To do good to them.
TO BE INVOLVED IN THEIR RECOVERY.
The Father has a garden of these fruit-bearing trees. He has the pleasure of enjoying it.
He has a garden of love.
In it are trees of various traits. Multiples trees of PATIENCE and KINDNESS. Of kindness giving back to the Father from His creation.
Of unbelievers giving back to His ministries through material wealth. Of believers giving back services--sacrificing their times, resources and desires for the Father's works.
In His garden are many trees.
God has a love garden. Do we?

Is There Life After Meth? Part 2- The Heidi Series
Firebrand Video Ministry presents "The Heidi Series" Part 2, a special message of hope for those who are struggling with an addiction, or parents who have daughters and sons chained to drugs.
Listen to Heidi as she shares a powerful testimony of VICTORY in Jesus over this monster of a drug, called "meth".
"....the second my heart was in it (for recovery), that's when God started to make it clear. That's when He started moving all the obstacles, all the mountains out of the way...Bringing restoration where there should not have been restoration. It just took my heart being committed. If you are struggling with that, release yourself from having to be perfect. God doesn't expect you to be perfect. He just wants your heart bent toward Him. All it takes is your heart toward HIM!
Check out this video as Heidi and Pastor Dave answer questions to uncover keys to unlock the door of bondage to ultimate freedom in Jesus Christ.

4 Steps To A Simple Ministry Marketing Plan
4 Steps To A Simple Ministry Marketing Plan For Promotion
Do you have a ministry marketing plan or strategic course of action for your ministry promotion or Christian home business online?
I have found having a basic plan of action can be crucial in experiencing success whether working for my clients or simply looking to earn extra money online for provision for my vision.
Here is a video explaining my ministry marketing plan, based on the acronym P - L - A - N.
The Ministry Marketing Plan Of Action:
P stands for Predetermine your goals. Be specific with what you want to accomplish. Write it down and look at it often. You know the saying, "out of sight out of mind." These goals need to be burned into your heart and mind. Break your goals down into a 90 or 120 day period. Make them real, where you can accomplish them.

I recently had a 90 day goal and would put hash marks in the back of my Bible. I recorded significant events that happened along those 90 days. I didn't quite make all of my goals, but accomplished enough to help me see even more clearly the Hand of God in my life. He knows my dreams and visions. He gives me the desires of my heart!!!!!
"L" stands for Lay out a strategic course of ACTION!. For example, if you are looking to have a ministry marketing plan online to promote your Christian music or your ministry, you'll want to identify your target audience. What kind of lead generation system will you use? Will you have people opt-in for something for free, or subscribe to your newsletter, your e-zine?
Part of laying out a course of action means work! You want to be able to learn and work out what you are learning in the process.
For example, I have learned from my coach, Stephen Pierce, specific steps to gain more views on my YouTube videos. I watched the webinar, took notes, and was even given the specific instructions explaining each step. Then it was up to me to take action, shoot the videos, and work out each of those steps of action.

It was quite amazing to see results. I even won the grand prize in his video contest with the MRMI Super Cash team! He gave us all the exact steps he uses to gain massive views on his videos and high organic rankings in Google with those wonderful thumbnails showing the video. So, each person on this team who followed these steps, gained the most views, and had well produced videos, would be the grand prize winner! I won an awesome free camera! I also accomplished one of my goals in that 90 day period!
Anyway, laying out a strategic course of action that will produce results is key. (If you want to learn that YouTube strategy, click here to learn how you can!
"A" stands for Adjust your priorities! No matter if you are looking for a ministry marketing plan that produces results or simply wanting to find ways to earn extra money online, you should make personal development a priority. It might mean getting up earlier to spend more time in the Word. It also might mean investing in your finances to go to a training seminar or attend a conference.
If you have to watch less television to learn a new skill, do it! Make it a top priority to take care of your mind and your body! Go on a fast from negative words. Make it a habit to develop positive images of where you see yourself going in your ministry marketing plan or business venture earning the finances to be free to serve God!
If you want it bad enough, adjusting your priorities will not be an inconvenience for long.
Finally, the "N" stands for No excuses! No matter the circumstances, the lack in your bank account, the storm in your relationships, make no excuses to not work. ("You can't make excuses and make money at the same time." -Stephen Pierce)
You can't have a successful ministry marketing plan online or have a chance to earn extra money online while making excuses, such as you don't have the time, or tech ability, the finances, or.....

To not make excuses will mean a shift in your thinking for sure. It may mean battling your fears of what other people will say if you step out in faith with trying to do something on the internet.
Please don't let someone's negative words, or someone clipping your your wings with sarcasm, keep you down. You are an eagle, not a chicken. Leave the chickens on the ground, look up, and fly, fly baby fly!
As you continue to flap those wings (work) and fly with a plan of action, you will be soaring before you know it!
So dig deep. Write out your plan. Act on the goals. Find the precise methods to make your goals a reality. Adjust your priorities to make the time to work the plan with no excuses.
You can do this.
Your dream can be a reality. Provision for your vision can happen.
Ready to write out your plan?
"Then the LORD answered me and said:
"Write the vision
And make it plain on tablets,
That he may run who reads it.
For the vision is yet for an appointed time;
But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie.
Though it tarries, wait for it;
Because it will surely come,
It will not tarry."
Habakkuk 2:2-3
