Hello everyone, my name is Christopher Lean Rose. I'm an author, mentor, life coach, motivational speaker, evangelist, musician, and activist. Today I'm going to be sharing my gratitude journal for the 12th of the 7th, 2026, and I'm just going to be sharing my thoughts, my feelings, my emotions, and how my day's been today. So today has been a good day. I woke up quite early today, which is good. Um, I think the weather helped me to wake up early. Um, I went to church service between 11 o'clock and three o'clock. So normally my church has a church service every Sunday, and it's normally the Batsey branch within my church that has the service for the corrugation. So today we're talking about in the church service about working for God and having that rest as you work for God as well, so not just always working but resting as well, and having the right balance and relationship with the Lord God and building your relationship with God in faith and spirituality, which is very important. And um, my church is quite a good church for the environment of the church. We normally do a lot of singing, um, praises, uh, psalms and worship, so it's always good to attend my church and listen to the music and listen to just um the corrugation and also the preaching as well. So church was good. Um, I'm grateful that I was able to top up my pension account. So my SIP pension I topped up £16.25 today with tax relief, and have a total value of um £156.32, which has gone up these last couple of days because I've been adding money into my SIP pension. Uh topped up my pension B account today um with £12.50 with tax relief. I have a total pension value of £2,617.78 pence. So that's good. My pension's growing. Um obviously I'm still waiting for one of the other pensions to go through to pension B, but um obviously, you know, making sure I invest in my pensions is very important, especially for the future retirement, and having money in there is definitely important and it always helps, so that was a good thing. Um I gave a 12-pound offering to church today, as I normally do on a Sunday. I normally always give a 12-pound offering, which is really good. Um in church, I prayed to Jesus Christ Jehovah and Buddha um in church, and um it was good to do prayer within the church because I was able to worship the Lord as I was in church, so that was a good thing. I always pray about um helping other people, music and faith and spirituality, and I also pray about just building that relationship with the Lord and being grateful and thankful for what he's done for me and how my life has changed. So I'm very grateful to the Lord God Jehovah, uh Jesus Christ and Buddha for saving me in the 30th of September 2014. I lost my homes and all my possessions on the fire, I became homeless and mentally psychotic. So um I'll forever be grateful for what the Lord has done for me and how my life has changed. So my faith, my spirituality is very important. Basically, um within church today, um I wrote some notes that my Reverend Archie was preaching, so working for God. So I'm just gonna read some scriptures as I um also um read the notes that I made today, so it's quite important actually. So the first scripture I'm gonna read is Exodus 23 verse 25. So let's just find it on my computer. Um Exodus uh 23 verse 25, King James. So this is a scripture that was in the in our church service today about working for the Lord. So it says, And he shall serve the Lord God, and he shall bless the bread and the waters, and take the sickness away from the midst of thee. So basically, when you work for God, um you're taking away the sickness away, and you're gonna be serving the Lord with the bread and water, so you're always gonna have um significant feast and significant hunger and be able to work for the Lord God, your you know, the God of all creation. So Jehovah wants us to work for him, to labor for him, to do things on earth for him. So definitely, you know, work of ministry is very important for the Lord God Jehovah, or very important. I also wrote that God blesses you when you work for him. So God is always blessing you when you work for him. You know, you have to make the effort to work for God, make that effort, make that time, take that commitment, take that dedication, have that passion, and have that discipline to work for the Lord, especially when you don't feel like it, and especially where you feel like you don't want to do certain things for the Lord. You should always be working for the Lord and always serving God in everything that you do. That's what I try to do with my podcasts, my audios, my books, my videos, my messages, and my music. I've always got uh I always got a passion to serve the Lord, you know. The next scripture we're gonna read is uh Joshua twenty-four, chapter twenty-four, verse fifteen, so let's just find it. Um Joshua twenty-four verse fifteen. So it says in this scripture um and if it seems evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose this choose you this day whom he will serve, whether gods which your father serves that were on the other side of the flood, or gods among the amorous in the land he dwells, but for me my house will serve the Lord. So we can see in the scripture that Joshua is choosing to serve the Lord. You know, he's not he's not he's not trying to work for any other God than Jehovah, and by serving the Lord, he said his house of obviously his children and his wife and his um you know family is also gonna serve the Lord, and that's the mindset we should have, no matter you know what's happening in our lives, or no matter what suffering pain, adversity we go through, we should have the mindset that we're gonna serve the Lord and work for the Lord and do what we can while we're alive for the Lord because Jehovah's expecting things for us to do, and especially he wants us to worship him and work for him and labor for him. So, you know, just making that commitment and that dedication to work for the Lord is everything, you know. Um I'm gonna read 1 Corinthians chapter 15, verse 58. So let's just find it. Um the reason why I'm reading these scriptures is because these are the lessons that I learnt from church today, so sometimes it's just best to read the scriptures, so at least I'm remembering also what I learned. So that's the reason why I'm sharing the scriptures. So it says, um, so 1 Corinthians chapter 15, verse 58. So it says, Therefore, my beloved brethren, be he steadfast, unremovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, for as much as he knows that your labor is not in vain in the Lord. So you know, if you do choose this decide to work in ministry or ministries for the Lord, um your work is not in vain. The God already knows what you're trying to do. He knows that you want to work for him, support him, be a part of his creation, be a part of his kingdom, and you should be steadfast, unremovable, and always abounding in the work of the Lord. So that's so important. And this scripture, maybe I might have to write the scripture on a wallpaper or post it on my wall because it will remind me that you know God is asking us to work for him and to do work while we're alive for him, so it's very important. I also wrote that labor for the Lord God is everything, work for God, so that's very important. Find seek search God's purpose for the for God's work. You know, you have to find seek search God's purpose to find your God work on earth. You know, we're all destined to be certain things. I believe I'm destined to be an evangelist and activist. Those is where my qualities are because I like communicating, I like meeting new people, I like connecting with people, and I like preaching the word of God. So my path for my life is definitely evangelism and activism, which I try to do in my books, my videos, my messages, and my audios, so it's so important. And then um, we're gonna read Hebrews chapter six verse ten. So let me just find it. Uh Hebrews chapter six verse ten. Remember the word of God is also gonna teach you as well, so just remember that reading the Bible will help, and these scriptures will help you on your journey. So Hebrews chapter six verse ten and it says, For God is unrighteous to forget the work and labor of love which he has sworn towards his name, and that he has uh he had ministered to the saints and to to and do minister. So God's not unrighteous to forget the work that you do for him and the love that you have for him. If you show him life that you work for the Lord, he's not gonna forget the work you do and the labor that you've done for him, and that's important in faith and spirituality. So always remember no matter what you're doing in the work of God, um, is it if it's evangelism, pastoring, preaching, teaching, bible studies, um, workshops, uh, conferences, events, if it's um evangelism, activism, whatever you're doing for the Lord, remember that God is not unrighteous. He will remember the work and labor you did for him while you were alive. So it's so important to work for the Lord and do what the Lord has called you to do. It's very important. I wrote that working for God is God's purpose. Basically, that is the purpose of life to work for God. But you have to find what work that God wants to call you to do, which you find when God shows you. Um, God work comes in seasons of work and rest. So remember in the Genesis book within the Bible where it says that God created the heavens and earth, and God worked for six days, and on the Sunday, he left it as a Sabbath Sabbath day of a sacred day of holiness, so you rest on that seventh day. So God in in his own creation says, Work all your labour from the six days, but on the seventh day, which is normally a Sunday, you're meant to be resting and not working, so you should not be actively working on the sixth day, which is um or the seventh day, sorry, which is a Sunday, and you labor for the sixth days and you rest for the seventh day, and the seventh day is normally a Sunday. That's why God asks us to go to church on Sundays because He wants us to spend fellowship and worship with Him on the Sundays. So do your work on the sixth days, especially if you're working for the Lord. Do your preaching, your conferences, your teaching, your evangelism, your activism, your ministering, your shepherding, your anointing on the sixth days, and then on the seventh day, use that as rest to recuperate and recover from the work that you've done. So that's quite important. So I'm gonna read um Psalms chapter 37, verse 4. So let's find it. Um it's quite good that I'm reading these scriptures from the Bible because you know it is important to learn what the God God is teaching us, you know. It's actually a good reminder for me to start doing this when I go to church as well. So even I'm learning something new as I'm sharing this um gratitude journal today. Delight that them delight thyself also in the Lord, and he shall give these desires of the the heart. So when you work for the Lord God, you're delighting in his labor and in his work. If you do that for the Lord, he will give you desires of the heart. So God already knows your heart. God knows that you want to work for him, and God knows that you want to be there for his kingdom and for his work. So delight in the heart, you know, and God will bless you with these desires. And these desires are normally things that you can do for the Lord. God will give you the skills, the gifts, and the abilities to work for him, and it comes naturally once you give your life to Christ and Buddha and you start working in faith and spirituality in ministries and monasteries. So it's definitely possible to work for the Lord and to find what you know the delight and the joy in working for the Lord, so it's quite important. And then um Ephesiastics Ephesias Ecclesiastics chapter um four, verse eleven to sixteen. So we're just gonna find it. And the reason I'm showing these scriptures as well is because when you go to church, you're gonna learn more scriptures in the Bible that will help you in your ministry and help you in your development. So I always write down the scriptures that I learned from a pre preacher from a pastor. So we're just gonna read what it says here, so just go through it. So if Infusons chapter Ephesians chapter 4 to 11 to 16, so it says, and he gives some apostles and some prophets and some evangelists and some pastors and some teachers. So these are the work that the Lord God um does in ministry, which is based on Jesus Christ and the relationship with Buddha, right? So he gives them apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers for the perfection of the saints, the work of ministry for in edit edifying of the body of Christ. So these are the workers that are gonna bring the body of Christ to reality, right? 13 and this is uh verse 13 until we come in the union of faith and the knowledge man of the Son God unto perfect man, unto the measure of the status of the fullness of Christ. So working for Christ will obviously support what Christ is trying to do in the world. Number fourteen, that we henceforth be more be no more children tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine by the sleekness men and kind of craftiness whereby that lies in the walk of the deceived. So it's important to work for Christ and to remember that we're trying to do the doctrines of what Jesus Christ gave to us, which is the gospel of the kingdom of God, and preach that to all humanity and all living beings, right? Speaking the truth and the love may grow in into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ. So Christ is the head of the church, Christ is the foundation of the church, Christ is the person that we're working towards within faith and ministry. And we must remember that he's the head, so we must follow his teachings and follow what he's called us to do, right? And then 16 for whom the whole body filter fitly joins together and compact by which every joint supplies, according to the effectual working in the measures of the part, making making increase of the body upon the edifying of itself in love. So Christ is love, Christ is um salvation. So when the apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers edify the body of Christ, we basically are doing the work of ministry and doing what Jesus Christ Jehovah and Buddha has called us to do, so it's so important. And then also, though, um, ministries and ministries is God's work. So when you do ministries and monastery work, you are doing God's work in the world, and that's very important to Jesus Christ Jehovah and Buddha, it's so important. And then uh find, seek, search for spiritual truth with your heart, which God shows you. So God really shows you who you are through your heart, like I said in the previous scripture before. You know, if you delight in the heart of the Lord of God, what He's showing you and in His work, then God will show you the spiritual truth of what you need to do in your life, and that's a spiritual thing that comes to spiritual people who are doing the work of ministry and doing the work of faith and spirituality. So those are some of the things that I learned um from the preaching today, um, which was really good. I created um two music tracks for my new album, Appreciation 2. So this is my second sequel album to appreciation. Um, this album is an important album because this is the first album I made straight after I lost my home and all of my possessions because I felt a sense of appreciation for life for God saving me back then. So the part two of appreciation is learning now how I appreciate life now and you know what really matters to me in my spiritual life, my faithful life. So this is a whole new album working on. We've got, I think, 10 tracks to do all together. So I've done the first two. The first track was The Spiritual Appreciation, and the second track is God's presence. So I'm gonna be working towards that and completing the album. I prayed at home today to Jesus Christ and Buddha and Jehovah. Um, sometimes when I come home from work or church, I'll pray at home. So these are some of the prayer insights that I learned from today. So prayer is spiritual, spend time in God's presence. You have to spend time in God's presence, it's so important. Repent and move forward. It's a very important lesson. Repent and move forward. So repent for your past sins and mistakes, and then move forward. Known mind comes through prayer. When you pray, you do connect to the known mind, which is no self, um, spiritual silence, spiritual nature, and spiritual energies. So prayer can help you connect to Jehovah Jesus Christ and Buddha in the spiritual realms. God is with you, stay faithful. So God is always with you, stay faithful. You can you have to change is you you have to change if you want God to change you. So in prayer, you have to make that commitment to change if you want God to change you. So you have to make the commitment to want to change. If you don't make the commitment to want to change, then God can't change you through prayers and through communication. Um, communication with God is a vital and important, so it's so important to pray and make time for prayer to with God and communicate with God. Moving forward, prayer meditation. This is a reminder to me to continue to do prayer and meditation as I move forward. Um, I created a front cover for my appreciation album as well, so that used I use GEMP 3.0 version, so that's a good thing that I've done today, and I supported my friend Govinda with some Zoom meetings um just briefly on the um Zoom app, and then I cleaned up my flat, um, just heavy and mop the floors and heavy the flat. So um basically my learning today is that I need to start doing the work for the Lord, find God's purpose through the work that I do, especially the work I do is like helping other people, spiritual music, faith and spirituality. So I need to continue to God's work and find God's purpose. And at some point, I want to write a book and an album about God's purpose, and write that as an album, as a musical album, and also a book. I think that's something I've been learning recently about God's purpose and how I can live it and how I can do it. Um my appreciations for today are always the same things. I appreciate Jehovah Jesus Christ and Buddha for helping me to get to this point in my life and saving me in the 30th of September 2014. I pray and appreciate and and really have a lot of love and value for my spiritual heroes, Paul Burrington, Dr. Carol Mitchigan, Christian Naughty, and Doug Hood Mills for being my inspirations and role models in my life and the people that I respect the most. I have um appreciation and love for um my pastors, Reverend T, Reverend Archie, for preaching with me um about sermons in the Bible and about God's love and God's um kingdom. So I appreciate my pastors and also the reverends and ministers in Westminster Cathedral. And then another thing I appreciate is life itself. I feel like I'm getting more into life development, spiritual development. And as I move forward in life, I still have that appreciation for where I come from, especially homeless and mentally psychotic, and where I am now into helping other people, doing spiritual music, and doing faith and spirituality work. So I'm very grateful. I appreciate my life, I appreciate where I am. I I want to live in the present moment and move forward and keep going. So um that's my gratitude journal for today. Um, my plans for this evening is just to sort out a few things at home, get ready for work tomorrow, and yeah, just prepare for this evening for work tomorrow. So, yeah, um, that's my gratitude journal for today. Thank you for listening. Take care now, have a good day, and I hope you've learned something new. And remember, your faithful spirituality is the most important part of your life, so focus and invest time in your faith and spirituality, prayer, meditation, or mindfulness, or walking journey, or silence, and make time and effort to do that and build your relationship with God and find God's purpose for your life through God's work that you do. It's very important. Okay, thank you now. Bye now, have a good evening, take care, bye bye.
