Pray about it

Wednesday 17th June 2026

“You will…find me when you seek me with all your heart.” Jeremiah 29:13 NIV

F***y Crosby, the noted hymn writer, said she never attempted to write a hymn without first kneeling in prayer. Given that she wrote about 8,000 songs, she was obviously a woman of prayer! Beloved hymns such as “Blessed Assurance,” “To God be The Glory,” and “I am Thine, O Lord” were born from times of prayer. But like many creative people, she was often under pressure to meet deadlines.

One time she tried to write lyrics for a tune composed by W. H. Doane. She couldn’t seem to find the words, but then she remembered she had forgotten to pray. As she rose from her knees, she dictated—as fast as her assistant could write—the words for the famous hymn, “Jesus, Keep Me Near the Cross.” Another time she had run short of money and needed exactly five dollars for a particular purpose. There was no time to call upon her publishers, so she simply prayed for the money. As she ended her prayer, she began to pace back and forth in her room, trying to get into the mood to write. Just at that time, an admirer called upon her. The two chatted briefly, and in parting, the woman pressed something into her hand. It was a five-dollar bill! F***y fell to her knees in a prayer of thanksgiving, and upon rising, she wrote one of her most famous hymns, “All the Way My Savior Leads Me.” The secret of F***y Crosby’s success is not a “secret.” Before she attempted anything for God, she first sought God’s help. So, the word for you today is—pray about it!

God has more in store for you

Monday 15th June 2026

“Let us pursue the knowledge of the Lord.” Hosea 6:3 NKJV

The Lord charged the church at Ephesus with having “left your first love” (see Revelation 2:4) and the church of Laodicea with being “neither hot nor cold, but lukewarm” (see Revelation 3:15-16). R. T. Kendall said, “The greatest opposition to what God wants to do next comes from those who were on the cutting edge of what God did last.”

Read the following Scriptures carefully and prayerfully: “Do not say, ‘Why were the former days better than these?’ For you do not inquire wisely concerning this” (Ecclesiastes 7:10 NKJV). “The path of the just is like the shining sun, that shines ever brighter unto the perfect day” (Proverbs 4:18 NKJV). “Let us know, let us pursue the knowledge of the Lord…He will come to us like the rain, like the latter and former rain to the earth” (Hosea 6:3 NKJV). “When He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you” (John 16:13-14 NKJV). “Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know” (Jeremiah 33:3 NKJV). “May [you] be able to comprehend…the width and length and depth and height—to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God” (Ephesians 3:18-19 NKJV). The word for you today is—God has more in store for you.

You can pull down that stronghold

Thursday 11th June 2026

“The weapons of our warfare are…mighty in God for pulling down strongholds.” 2 Corinthians 10:4 NKJV

Just as Jericho was a stronghold in Canaan, we have strongholds in our lives. Paul wrote: “The weapons of our warfare are…mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God” (vv. 4-5 NKJV). A stronghold is an “argument” or a “high thing” that “exalts itself against the knowledge of God.” It is a conviction, outlook, or belief that attempts to interfere with the truth.

A stronghold is a false premise that denies God’s promise. It “sets itself up against the knowledge of God” (v. 5 NIV). It attempts to magnify the problem and minimise God’s ability to solve it. Does a stronghold have a strong hold on you? Do you speak the language of impossibility? God could never forgive me (the stronghold of guilt). I could never forgive that person (the stronghold of resentment). Bad things always happen to me (the stronghold of self-pity). I have to be in charge (the stronghold of pride). I don’t deserve to be loved (the stronghold of rejection). I’ll never recover (the stronghold of defeat). I must be good, or God will reject me (the stronghold of performance). I’m only as good as I look (the stronghold of appearance). My value equals my possessions (the stronghold of materialism). Many Christians don’t even recognise the strongholds in their lives. But you don’t have to be among them. God has given you the weapons of prayer, Scripture, the Name of Jesus, the blood of Jesus, fellowship, etc. And collectively, they have “divine power to demolish strongholds” (v. 4 NIV).

God will give you knowledge and understanding

Monday 8th June 2026

“From his mouth come knowledge and understanding.” Proverbs 2:6 NIV

The saying “knowledge is power” is true. And it’s even more dynamic in the spiritual realm. The more you know about God, the more confident you’ll be. Knowledge of God’s Word can give clarity to the puzzling issues of life. When a certain religious sect tried to pull Jesus into one of their debates on a particular issue, He replied, “Your mistake is that you don’t know the Scriptures, and you don’t know the power of God” (Matthew 22:29 NLT).

There are some truths you need to settle in your heart and let them bring peace to your spirit. For example, no one else can thwart God’s purpose for your life. “The Lord Almighty has purposed, and who can thwart him? His hand is stretched out, and who can turn it back?” (Isaiah 14:27 NIV). You also need to settle in your mind that no matter what happens, things are working out for your good. Therefore, you can resist anxiety and worry. “We know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose” (Romans 8:28 NKJV). Daniel reminds us that God “gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding. He reveals deep and secret things; He knows what is in the darkness, and light dwells with Him” (Daniel 2:21-22 NKJV). The “light” you need belongs to God. And you never have to feel insecure regarding any aspect of your knowledge when you know Him, for He knows everything.

Developing a spiritual mindset

Saturday 6th June 2026

“Those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires.” Romans 8:5 NIV

Muscle memory isn’t stored in your muscles. It’s a procedural memory that is stored in your brain any time you repeat a muscle movement. Whether it’s putting a golf ball or playing a violin, the muscle memory becomes stronger the more it is repeated. Have you heard about the 10,000-hour rule? Psychologists say that’s the amount of time it takes to become an expert at anything.

That’s encouraging because it means anybody can do it, but it’s discouraging because it means there are no shortcuts, no matter how smart or gifted you are. Just like a foreign language, developing a spiritual mindset is a learning curve. Can you imagine being frustrated on the first day of a foreign language class because you aren’t fluent? That’s how we often feel when we aren’t fluent in prayer, or strong in faith, or disciplined in our habits. Psalm 84:7 says we “go from strength to strength” (NIV). You’ll be working on this for the rest of your life, one day at a time. You’ll keep benchmarking. Your faith ceiling becomes your faith floor. And make no mistake about it—those spiritual disciplines accrue compound interest. And they pay off in terms of joy, fulfillment, and power with God. “Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace” (Romans 8:5-6 NIV).

How to conquer your Jericho (2)

Friday 5th June 2026

“Circumcise the sons of Israel again the second time.” Joshua 5:2 NKJV

Before conquering Jericho, God told Joshua to “circumcise the sons of Israel again the second time.” Six hundred years earlier, God had inaugurated the practice of male circumcision. He told Abraham that it would be “a sign of the covenant between Me and you” (Genesis 17:11 NKJV). What was the message here? Remember whose you are! This was a physical sign for Israel. In Christ, we understand the deeper spiritual reality it points to.

In a sense, all believers have been circumcised. Paul wrote, “When you came to Christ, he set you free from your evil desires, not by a bodily operation of circumcision but by a spiritual operation” (Colossians 2:11 TLB). That means you are now God’s child (John 1:12); Christ’s friend (John 15:15); a member of Christ’s body (1 Corinthians 12:27); a saint (Ephesians 1:1); redeemed and forgiven of all your sins (Colossians 1:14); complete in Christ, lacking in nothing (Colossians 2:10); free from condemnation (Romans 8:1-2); God’s co-worker (2 Corinthians 6:1); seated with Christ in the heavenly realm (Ephesians 2:6); God’s workmanship (Ephesians 2:10); a citizen of heaven (Philippians 3:20); adopted into God’s family (Ephesians 1:5); born of God, and the evil one cannot touch you (1 John 5:18). Again, Paul wrote: “Consider yourselves to be dead to the power of sin and alive to God” (Romans 6:11 NLT). So when the devil draws near, stand up to him and say: “What are you doing here? I am dead to you!” Don’t stand for his accusations, and don’t cower at his attacks. When he dredges up your past mistakes, tell him who you are “in Christ” (2 Corinthians 5:17). He has no recourse to this truth. He knows who you are. He just hopes you don’t or that you’ll forget.

How to conquer your Jericho (1)

Thursday 4th June 2026

“These stones shall be for a memorial to…Israel forever.” Joshua 4:7 NKJV

Jericho was the strongest city in the Promised Land and the first Joshua’s army had to conquer. You could say it represents the biggest challenge you’re facing right now. Because the towering walls of Jericho looked impregnable, it would have been intimidating to any would-be invader. So God told His people to remember and record what He’d done for them in the past.

In essence He told them, “Before you look forward to Jericho, look backward to Jordan and what God accomplished for you there.” He said, “Take…twelve men…one man from every tribe, and command them, saying, ‘Take for yourselves twelve stones…out of the midst of the Jordan…And those twelve stones…Joshua set up in Gilgal [as a memorial to the parting of its waters]’” (Joshua 4:2-3, 20 NKJV). One of your best weapons against Satan’s attacks is a good memory. Don’t forget a single one of God’s blessings! The psalmist says: “[He] who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s” (Psalm 103:3-5 NIV). Create a trophy room in your heart. Each time you experience a victory, place a memory on the shelf. Before you face a challenge, take a quick tour of God’s accomplishments on your behalf. Look at all the blessings He has given, and the prayers He has answered. “This I recall to my mind, therefore I have hope. Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness” (Lamentations 3:21-23 NKJV).

Knowing and enjoying your inheritance

Wednesday 3rd June 2026

“We are…joint heirs with Christ.” Romans 8:16-17 NKJV

We share the same inheritance as Christ! Whatever He has, we have! “In this world we are like Jesus.” (1 John 4:17 NIV). So, if we are co-heirs with Christ, why do we struggle through life? For two reasons:

(1) We don’t know about our inheritance— “The exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe” (Ephesians 1:19 NKJV). No one ever told us that instead of fighting for victory, we fight from a position of victory. If you have given your heart to Christ, He “has blessed [you] with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ” (Ephesians 1:3 NKJV). Notice the word “has.” You already possess everything you need to be everything God desires. You have access to “every spiritual blessing.” That also means God will “equip you with all you need for doing his will” (Hebrews 13:21 NLT). (2) We don’t believe in our inheritance. Imagine what would happen if a generation of Christians lived out of their inheritance. They would turn away from po*******hy. The lonely would find comfort in God, not in the arms of strangers. Struggling couples would spend more time in prayer and less time in anger. Children would consider it a blessing to take care of their aging parents. “God’s power is very great for us who believe. That power is the same as the great strength God used to raise Christ from the dead” (Ephesians 1:19-20 NCV). The same indwelling Spirit that raised Christ from the dead will turn every one of your “I cant’s” into an “I can.” “I can do all things through Christ, because he gives me strength” (Philippians 4:13 NCV).
