Dominion Fellowship Ministries

25 YEARS OF MINISTRY

Rev. Dr. Bernard J. Wilks, DMin. (Apostolic Overseer)

EDITORIAL One Person Can Make A Difference... a Big One! When you think about people in your life who have made a tremendous impact, the list is probably very short.

This may be the one to three people in your life who have helped to set your life on the course that it is on now; they helped to mold and shape you; influenced your thinking processes, and you've probably shared insights about things that you would never discuss with any one else. Often times this person is a parent or school teacher, a pastor, a guidance counselor or an athletic coach.

They are a “God-send,” a blessing, a providence; which further proves that God is watching over you, and that he is an ever present help when you are in need.

I must say that even amongst these people who have greatly influenced our lives... there are still “Great Ones” those who have not only aided in your transformation, but in the blossoming of hundreds of others as well!

I have had the fortune to have two such great people in my life. One of whom is a supporter, my teacher, my mentor, and my friend... Rev. Dr. Bernard Wilks... But not only to me, but to hundreds of others who's lives he has impacted as well. This month as we celebrate the 25th anniversary of Dominion Ministries which Dr. Wilks founded, I celebrate the man himself, his life, his achievements, and the Godly example he has been to so many. The bible tell us to give honor where honor is due... Dr. Wilks, my friend... I honor you! Congratulations on 25 years of ministry serving of Lord JesusThe Christ! - Pastor Rick

TRANSFORMING A CITY BY TAKING DOMINION

by Curtis D. Mincey Dominion Fellowship Ministries here in the city of Newark Nj was one of the first ministries that I became associated with outside of my home church of Metropolitan Baptist Church. I became involved with Dominion back in 2008 while attending seminary, and was fortunate enough to become acquainted with the founder Dr. Bernard Wilks simply because he was my seminary instructor. But over the years our relationship has grown from one of student - teacher to one of two brothers working in ministry for the building of the kingdom.

As a matter of fact it was through Dominion that the Lord actually showed

me what real ministry was all about. Up until that time I really didn’t know or understand what it meant to be a christian. But this ministry opened my eyes and showed me christianity in action. This is a ministry that I can honestly say doesn’t just say they love the city of Newark, they demonstrate their love for the city of Newark.

This is the type of ministry that is made up of christian volunteers and churches from the Newark area. The bulk of these ministries make up what is called the Dominion Coalition which is a group of ministries that have partnered with Dominion to impact the city. A lot of the ministry work that Dominion does is done outside of their buildings. One of those is the Thursday Night Truck Stop Ministry hosted by Dominion ministry leader Rev. Irving Johnson and Rev.the passions of Dr. Wilks and Rev Larry

HANDLING OFFENSES

AS A LEADER As a leader, you are going to draw fire. People will criticize you. Some will second-guess your decisions. Others will impute motives that aren't there.

A few will falsely accuse you.

1. Offenses are inevitable.

Jesus Himself said, Woe to the world because of offenses! For offenses must come, but woe to that man by whom the offense comes! (Matthew 18:7) According to the Dictionary.com, woe means, "grievous distress, affliction or trouble." Anyone who has been offended understands woe. And in my experience, it doesn't get much easier with age.

But as Jesus also notes, offenses must come. People offend us by what they do (sins of commission) and, sometimes, by what they don't do (sins of omission). Either way, life affords us daily opportunities to be offended.

Note that while offenses may be inevitable, Jesus doesn't let the offender off the hook. They, too, are accountable and will experience their own level of woe.

2. Offenses can be good for us.

This is a hard saying. In the midst of being offended, it is difficult to believe that any good could come out of it, let alone that God might have a bigger purpose in mind. But consider two examples from the Bible.

The patriarch, Joseph, was ridiculed, kidnapped and then sold into slavery by his own brothers. He was later falsely accused of attempting to seduce the wife of a high-ranking Egyptian official. He spent several years in prison, and it was years before he was vindicated.

He could have been very angry with his brothers.

Years later, when he finally meets up with them again, he is in a position of tremendous power. He could easily have had his revenge.

Instead, Joseph said to them, Do not be afraid, for am I in the place of God? But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive. Now therefore, do not be afraid; I will provide for you and your little ones. (Genesis 50:19–20) Or consider King David. In the latter part of his life, he was chased out of Jerusalem by his treasonous son, Absalom. If that weren't bad enough, a character named Shimei meets him on the road and starts throwing rocks at him. He curses the king and reminds him of all his sins. He says, Come out! Come out! You bloodthirsty man, you rogue! The LORD has brought upon you all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose place you have reigned; and the LORD has delivered the kingdom into the hand of Absalom your son. So now you are caught in your own evil, because you are a bloodthirsty man! (2 Samuel 16:7–8) Abishai, one of King David's servants, said, "Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? Please, let me go over and take off his head!" But note how David responded:

Let him alone, and let him curse; for so the LORD has ordered him. It may be that the LORD will look on my affliction, and that the LORD will repay me with good for his cursing this day. (2 Samuel 16:11–12).

It's easy to resent those who offend us. But what if God has a deep and important purpose for sending them—something that He intends for our good because He truly loves us (see Romans 8:28).

3. Being offended is a choice.

Every leader should memorize this verse: The discretion of a man makes him slow to anger, and his glory is to overlook a transgression. (Proverbs 19:11) There are certainly times when it is legitimate to be angry. The Apostle Paul says, "Be angry, and do not sin." (Ephesians 4:26) Anger can be a valid response to something that is wrong. But it can quickly become toxic—not only for those toward whom we direct it, but also for ourselves. This is why the Apostle James admonishes us to be "slow to anger." (James 1:19–20) Between the stimulus and the response is the power to choose. This is precisely what makes us human. We don't have to respond in kind.

The greatest leaders in the world are not easily offended. Instead, they practice the habit of overlooking offenses. They take the high road, give the offender the benefit of the doubt, and move on. What about you?

Ministry Transformation

Whether we realize it or not, our words carry enormous weight. In fact, you and I probably don’t have any tool more powerful—for good and for bad—than our words.

A verse in the Bible that says,

Let no unwholesome word proceed from your mouth, but only such a word as is good for edification according to the need of the moment, so that it will give grace to those who hear” (Ephesians 4:29, NASB) This advice applies far beyond spiritual matters and goes straight to the heart of our leadership and our impact.

This verse provides three characteristics of wholesome speech.

1 Characteristic #1: Wholesome words build people up.

2

Characteristic #2: Wholesome words are timely.

3

Characteristic #3: Wholesome words provide grace.

King Solomon said, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue” (Proverbs 18:21). Every day, we are shaping reality for someone by the words that we use with them. The choice is ours.

How dividing husband & wife chores affects your Marriage & sex life Have you and your mate had the talk?

Every marriage goes through it at some point. The chore talk. We just can’t assume that our mate will clean up any messes around the house nor can we expect them to wait ‘til the end of the week before it get taken care of.

At some point every relationship must have "the chore talk”, When one spouse stays at home and takes care of most of the household needs problems can arise. just because one mate works 9-5, that doesn’t mean that their work day is through. Maintaining a household is a 24/7/ 365 days a year job.

It is not fair for you to think that because the one who leaves home to work, works harder or longer that the one who stays home, “to work.”

TALK IT OUT! Explain just what it is that you do around the house all day.

Explain just how many hours is takes to do your work. Usually its more than a typical eight hour work day.

You may need to remind them that you need some time “off” , holidays, weekends special events, after all you probably have been working on those days for quite awhile.

Perhaps then they may begin to see your side of it.

You might begin to see that they are starting to understand a little better what entails your day, and how they should have been helping all along..

Well if they don’t then…

TRY THIS 1. Motivation…

Trade off what they like best for the help you may need in your relationship. And help them to see that when the stay at home mate is happier, and feeling appreciated then romance will actually be much more easy to ignite.

2. Warning Time….

Some people respond to praise and others just need a whack.

If their work day stops at four or five, then yours can too.

Five o'clock isn't quitting time at a home and everyone needs to pitch in.

3. Try doing it together…

This is my favorite… Clean up or preparing a meal with you sweetheart

can be a lot of fun and potentially lead to a romantic evening.

If you two are going in separate directions at night figure out a way to do the work together. Leave chores that can be done later like folding clothes or washing the dishes so that you guys can talk or watch television together while you do them.

4. Leave 'em…

No, not permanently, but for a day or a weekend. You are probably a welloiled machine and make the work look easy. If you leave your spouse in the house for a few days (most likely a few hours) it will give them a chance to see how hard it is to get things organized and done. This should motivate your sweet baboo to help out more. Sometimes we do things so well we don't leave any room for others to jump in and help.

This might be something you want to mention in that conversation you have (mentioned above).

Good working relationships take time. Couples have to learn to work together; it isn't something that happens day one. The division of labor is a tough thing to substantiate especially since neither of you really gets a bird's eye, full-time view into the other's work day, but with communication and compromise and maybe a little inaction, it can all be worked out.

Dealing With The Pain

By Minister Curtis D. Mincey

Pain is something we all have to deal with. Pain is just a part of the life we live. All creatures experience some sort of pain at various times of their life. With humans it can be the physical pain of growing older or the pain of a disease.

Sometimes there's the mental and emotional pain that's brought on by outside circumstances. A broken home, a broken marriage, bullying at school, chaos at the job, confusion at the church. All of these events and situations can bring about pain.

Sometimes we're told it's all in our head, your'e just imagining things.

But the reality is the people are real, the circumstances are real and the pain is real. We have people walking around various towns, and cities all over the world who are dealing with pain. All we have to do is leave our homes and encounter real people who are dealing with real pain and real issues.

That's why there is so much lawlessness. We have communities filled with people that are just acting out because they are hurting. They are hurting for love and understanding. They are hurting for attention they want someone to

acknowledge them and what their going through. So what do they do?

They become drug addicts searching for that high. They become alcoholics searching for that buzz. They become addicted to various activities because they are trying to fill a void that was meant for one very important person.

You see there is relief from the pain.

That relief comes in the form of Jesus our Lord and Savior. The wonderful thing about receiving relief from Jesus is it's free. You don't have to go to the corner store or to the spot to get this type of relief. All you have to do is go to that quite place and get down on your knees and make the commitment.

When you make the commitment, when you make the effort to cry out to Jesus and ask the son of God to have mercy on you. He will hear you and come to you.

He will tell you to be patient and watch him work miracles. He will give you peace as long as you receive it. He will lead you as long as you follow. He will heal the pain of the past as long as you walk with him into the future. He will save you when you recognize you need saving. Just remember this that Jesus came to do more than heal our physical pain. He came to heal our relationship with God. That's the most important form of healing that I can think of.

Councilman

Darrin Sharif: Part 2 Yes He Will Run!!!

Central Ward Councilman Darrin Sharif says YES!!!

He will seek the seat held by outgoing mayor Cory Booker.

"I think I have something important to contribute to our city," "I wouldn't run if I didn't think that."

Central Ward Councilman Darrin Sharif says YES!!!

He will seek the seat held by outgoing mayor Cory Booker.

"I think I have something important to contribute to our city," "I wouldn't run if I didn't think that."

Sharif represents the strongest economic and

cultural ward in the city which he won by a slim margin over the Booker team incumbent candidate he defeated incumbent Charles Bell in a runoff by 11 votes. The Central Ward, like most of Newark is troubled in many respects, but it (the Central Ward) is also the seat of the economic development for which Newark is positioned for a great transformation.

"As Newark continues to go through this period of growth I feel confident that I can continue to lead the city on its upward trajectory," Sharif tells.

He is an intellectual but also a man of passion. The councilman who started out working for Booker as a staffer has now become a powerful legislative force and a champion of the people he represents.

It is interesting to note that Booker himself started his ascent to the mayors office from the very seat which Sharif now occupies.

The question is will his latter entry into the race be strong enough to take on the very outspoken street savvy Ras Baraka?

While Baraka is known for his strong ant-establishment sentiments Sharif states, "I’ve worked well with the the administration and in a number of areas I've stood up to them," he said. "I think people want a leader who is not going to be ideologically dug in."

Sharif, now joins a the race, making it a total of four candidates. South Ward Councilmen Ras Baraka East Ward Councilman Anibal Ramos and former Assistant State Attorney General Shavar Jeffries.

While a native Newarker, he is a graduate of Rutgers-Newark and former director of operations for the Urban League of Essex County.

We feel the councilman has an excellent chance and would make a great leader for Newark but in order to win we believe the voters will need to get a much better sense of the passion he has for the city.

Will history repeat itself? With the central ward being the “heart” of Newark business; featuring universities, schools, museums, banks,insurance companies, the downtown district, and all of the main government buildings including City Hall itself; and the Sharif’s father who was a top adviser to two successfully Booker mayoral victories in 2002 and 2006, will Sharif’’s delayed campaign be strong enough to overtake those who have been on the capaign circut for more than two months. Only time will tell.

CHARMIL DAVIS ON 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF MARCH ON WASHINGTON President Obama Speaks at 50 Year Anniversary March On Washington By Charmil Correspondent

Y.

Davis,

(WASHINGTON - August 28, 2013) President Barack Obama, the very first U.S African American President, speaks to a crowd of over 100,000 people from all over the world to commemorate 50 years after the original “March on Washington” led by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Dr. King gave his "I Have A Dream

Speech" 50 years ago to the day August 28 - on the same National Mall in Washington, DC. President Obama was joined by Former Presidents Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton along with other dignitaries

such as The King Family, President Lyndon Johnson’s daughter Lynda Byrd Johnson Ross (President Johnson signed into law in 1964 the Civil Rights Act and in 1965 the Voting Rights Act), President and CEO of the National Urban League, Marc Morial, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, and Congressional Black Caucus member Rep. John P. Lewis (GA) who led the

infamous "Bloody March" in Selma, 1965.

President Obama urged Americans to combat racism only weeks after an allwhite jury acquitted George Zimmerman for the murder of Sanford, Florida teen, Trayvon Martin, which sparked national outrage not just in the African American community. This case, which garnered international attention, is now being investigated by the U.S. Justice Department.

Obama proclaimed, "Even though City Councils, Legislators, and even the White House has changed since 1964, a fierce urgency still remains." The President said that years after the "Voting Rights Act" became law in 1965, there are still restraints and conditions in 2013 that plague most

African Americans and other minority groups in the U.S. For instance, he noted the "Voter ID" law that is backed by nine states and six jurisdictions. It requires advanced federal approval before voting.

The Obama Administration is now in a legal battle with the State of Texas over voting-related matters. One lawsuit claims that the "Voter ID" Law discriminates against Blacks and Hispanics because they are less likely to have governmental IDs such as passports and driver’s licenses.

The "Voters Rights Act" of 1965 has been one of the Civil Rights Movement’s greatest accomplishments.

During the President’s speech to the crowd, Obama, raised by a singleparent himself, excited the crowd when he said, "… Even if he didn't have a father at home, he's marching on. For the teacher who dips into her pocket to support her students, she's marching on."

Obama indirectly spoke to the African American Community on the 50th Anniversary of the March on Washington.

With not enough school supplies, funding, parental involvement, or community support in most urban communities across the board, most schools in the urban community fall by the wayside in the U.S. In the African American Community,

experts note as much as 85% of households are headed by single-parents and mostly women.

The President seemed hopeful that that his speech reached all Americans, however, President Obama has been accused by many activists and affluent African Americans like Dr. Cornell West, Tavis Smiley, and members of the Congressional Black Caucus U.S. for not "doing enough" for the black community. They’ve also been critical of the lack of diversity in Obama's Cabinet.

Dr. King would have been very proud of the speech given by our 44th President of the United States of America on this historic day in Washington ‌ 50 years later.

March on, Mr. President! The dream lives in 2013!

GOD ORDAINED! CHRIST CENTERED! BIBLE BASED! MINISTER FOCUSED!

Back to School Tech Trends for 2013 (NewsUSA) - With summer vacation winding down, the U.S. Census Bureau expects close to 80 million children and adults to head back to the classroom. Total school spending this year is targeted at over $70 billion with $8 billion for electronics. Emmy-winning tech and trends expert Brett Larson and host of KillerApps.TV looked at some products and trends that should be on the radar for back to school shopping this year.

"There is an array of new tech tools that can help propel a student to a more successful school year!" says Brett. "Do your research online for not only the best price, but look for the tech that will grow with you throughout the year."

Some of Brett's top picks for Back to School 2013: 1. The VTech InnoTab 3S is the next generation of children's learning tablets with Wi-Fi. Built for ages 3-9, it features VTech Kid Connect -- an exclusive communication app that allows kids to be connected with their parents and friends. In addition, it accesses VTech's Learning Lodge -- providing kids with a bright start on their learning journey.

2. If you're in search of a smartphone, Brett says you need to find one with the processing speed, power and battery longevity to take full advantage of all its capabilities. Check out the new HTC One and Samsung Galaxy 4 for some of the fastest processing speeds.

3. Staples is a great place to get hands-on with tech before you buy. When searching for laptops, check out the latest Chromebooks. They are easy-to-use, lightweight laptops that run the popular Google operating system. Their portability and ease of use make them perfect for youngsters just learning how to use technology in the classroom.

4. Brett says, "Don't lose your data!"

A Guy's Guide to Selecting the Perfect Engagement Ring (NewsUSA) - Getting engaged is a very personal and intimate experience for a couple. But for many guys, the purchase of the engagement ring can be a bit overwhelming. Color, clarity, cut, carat weight -; there's a lot to consider! But by understanding the basics of diamonds and keeping the future bride in mind, guys can find the process of selecting a ring much less daunting.

Philadelphia-based jewelry designer Craiger Drake of Craiger Drake Designs offers the following tips to help men select a ring that their bride will love: Know the 4Cs. Men should always consider the color, clarity, cut and carat weight of a diamond. Color and clarity, less commonly understood, are critical to the quality of the stone. Choose a diamond valued higher on both the color and clarity grading scales to limit the presence of color and unwanted inclusions. Carat and cut, on the other hand, are personal preferences. Keep the bride's personality in mind to select a size and a shape that will complement her style.

Get certified. To guarantee the diamond's authenticity and quality, be sure to purchase

a diamond that is certified from the Gemological Institute of America. The diamond's certificate outlines all the individual characteristics of the stone, including the 4Cs, serving as proof of the diamond's identity and value.

Be unique. For many women, an engagement ring is their most treasured piece of jewelry, so it's important that it is special and unique. A rose gold band or colored side stones, for example, can accent a traditional ring with a touch of color. To personalize the piece further, consider custom designing a one-of-a-kind ring tailored to the bride's individual style.

A final piece of advice: Remember what the ring signifies. "With so much to bear in mind, it can be easy to lose the romance of selecting an engagement ring," said Drake.

"Although it is valuable to know the basics of a diamond, what's most important is for men to remember the reason they're buying it."
