Jeremiah 29:11

05/27/2026

Are You Still Hungry?
There is something that happens to a lot of believers that nobody really talks about.
It does not happen all at once. It sneaks up on you slowly.
You stop pressing. You stop pursuing. You start coasting on what God did yesterday instead of seeking what He wants to do today.
That is spiritual complacency.
And it is dangerous not because it looks like rebellion, but because it looks like rest.
You are still showing up. Still going through the motions. Still using the right language.
But somewhere along the way, the hunger left.
The fire that used to drive you to your knees dried up. The urgency you once had in prayer faded into routine. The Word that used to excite you started feeling familiar instead of alive.
Sound familiar?
The church at Ephesus had the same problem.
They were doing everything right on the outside. Serving, standing for truth, enduring hardship. But Jesus looked at all of that and said:
"Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love. Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works." (Revelation 2:4-5, NKJV)
Read that carefully.
He did not say they stopped working. He said they stopped loving.
And then He told them exactly what to do about it. Remember. Repent. Return to the first works.
That is not a punishment. That is a pathway back.
They did not lose their activity. They lost their affection.
And that is exactly where complacency lives. Right in the gap between activity and affection.
Here is what I want you to understand today.
God is not impressed by your religious routine. He is after your heart.
He would rather have five minutes of genuine pursuit from you than five years of empty participation.
So let me ask you directly:
When is the last time you were truly hungry for God?
Not hungry for a blessing. Not hungry for a breakthrough. Hungry for HIM.
Because here is the good news.
The same God who called you is still calling you.
He has not moved. He has not grown tired of you. He has not written you off because you drifted.
He is standing right where He has always been, and His invitation has not expired.
"Return to Me, and I will return to you, says the Lord of hosts. But you said, 'In what way shall we return?'" (Zechariah 1:3-4, NKJV)
Notice that last part.
The people responded by asking HOW to return. And God did not shame them for asking. He answered them.
That tells you something about the character of God.
He is not waiting to condemn you for drifting. He is waiting to receive you when you turn around.
That is not a rebuke. That is an invitation.
So today, I want to encourage you to do one thing.
Get hungry again.
Open the Word not out of obligation, but out of desperation. Go to prayer not because it is on your schedule, but because you need Him. Pursue God like your spiritual life depends on it.
Because it does.
The fire is not gone. It just needs to be stirred.
"Therefore I remind you to stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands. For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind." (2 Timothy 1:6-7, NKJV)
Paul was not writing to someone who had never known God.
He was writing to Timothy, a seasoned believer, and telling him to STIR UP what was already inside him.
The gift did not leave. The fire did not go out. It just needed to be stirred back to flame.
That is the word for someone today.
You did not come this far to coast. You came this far to grow.
Do not let comfort become your ceiling.
Get back to the first works. Turn back toward Him. Stir up what is already in you.
He is ready when you are.
I hope this has been a blessing to someone. Until next time, remember we walk with Christ, one day at a time, one step at a time, one prayer at a time.

Witeithie Mission… glory to God!

04/14/2026

In Q1 2026, we set an agenda for an outreach mission in Witeithie, Thika. By God’s grace, we connected with Deliverance Church Highway Witeithie for the ex*****on of this mission—glory to God.

We moved by faith in obedience and planted the seed as instructed by the Lord over the course of two days. One soul was saved, and we believe many others were touched and spiritually revived.

We praise the Lord, for He is the One who gave us the mandate and the power to carry out this mission.

Gods name alone is exalted!

BIBLE IN A YEAR DEVOTIONAL

03/18/2026

Guard What God Has Built in You

When God builds something in your life, it must be guarded. Learn how spiritual vigilance protects the fruit God is producing in you.

There are seasons when God builds something powerful in your life.
Through testing, He strengthens your faith.
Through pruning, He purifies your motives.
Through trials, He deepens your trust.
And when those seasons pass, something new stands where weakness once lived: stronger faith, deeper obedience, and a clearer devotion to God.

But Scripture reminds us of an important truth:

What God builds must also be guarded.
Spiritual growth is not automatic. It requires watchfulness and intentional care.
Guarding the Heart Is Central to the Christian Life
The Bible places tremendous importance on the condition of the heart.

Proverbs 4:23 (World English Bible)
Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it is the wellspring of life.

Everything flows from the heart.
Your decisions.
Your character.
Your obedience.
Your relationship with God.

If the heart is guarded, life remains aligned.
If the heart becomes careless, spiritual decline begins quietly.
That is why Scripture repeatedly calls believers to spiritual vigilance.

Growth Attracts Opposition

When God strengthens a believer, the enemy does not ignore it.
Spiritual growth often attracts spiritual resistance.

1 Peter 5:8 (WEB)
Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary the devil walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.

Notice the instruction: be watchful.
Not fearful.
Not anxious.
But alert.
Spiritual maturity requires spiritual awareness.

Good Fruit Attracts Attention

Nature teaches us a simple lesson.
Insects do not attack fruit that is rotten.
Rodents do not eat food that has no value.
If insects and rodents avoid fruit, it often means something is wrong with it.
But when fruit is healthy, sweet, and full of life, it attracts attention.
The same principle often applies spiritually.
When God begins producing genuine fruit in a believer’s life, faith, obedience, humility, devotion, and spiritual maturity, the enemy takes notice.
Jesus warned us about this reality.

John 10:10 (WEB)
“The thief comes only to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.”

The enemy seeks to steal the fruit God is producing.
He attempts to corrupt what God has built through:
Discouragement

Distraction

Pride

Compromise

Spiritual complacency

If you are producing good fruit for God, opposition should not surprise you.
In many cases, it confirms that God is doing something meaningful.
Healthy fruit must be protected so it can continue to grow and nourish others.

Even Strong Walls Require Watchmen

The book of Nehemiah gives us a powerful picture of guarding what God restores.
When the walls of Jerusalem were rebuilt, the people did not simply celebrate and relax.
They stayed vigilant.

Nehemiah 4:17–18 (WEB)
Those who built the wall and those who carried burdens loaded themselves so that everyone with one of his hands worked in the work, and with the other held his weapon.

They built with one hand and guarded with the other.
This is a beautiful picture of the Christian life.
We grow spiritually, but we also guard that growth.
We build, but we remain watchful.

Complacency Is Often the Greatest Threat

Rarely does spiritual decline happen suddenly.
More often, it happens slowly.
Prayer becomes less urgent.
Scripture becomes less central.
Gratitude becomes less frequent.
Small compromises quietly accumulate.
Over time, the heart drifts.
Guarding what God has built means refusing to allow small neglect to become spiritual erosion.

How Do We Guard What God Has Built?

Guarding your walk with God is not complicated, but it is intentional.
It means:

Remaining rooted in Scripture
Staying consistent in prayer
Walking in humility and repentance
Surrounding yourself with godly influences
Remaining sensitive to the Holy Spirit

These practices are not merely religious routines.
They are spiritual safeguards that protect what God is building within you.

Gratitude Protects the Heart

Another powerful way to guard spiritual growth is through remembrance.

Psalm 103:1–2 (WEB)
Bless Yahweh, my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Bless Yahweh, my soul, and don’t forget all his benefits.

When we remember what God has done, gratitude fills our hearts.
And gratitude protects the soul from pride, complacency, and forgetfulness.
If God has been building something in your life, stronger faith, renewed purpose, deeper obedience, do not treat that work lightly.
Protect it.
Just as healthy fruit attracts insects and rodents in nature, spiritual fruit attracts opposition. The enemy does not waste effort on barren ground. He targets what is healthy, growing, and fruitful.
But opposition does not mean failure.
Often, it confirms that God is doing something meaningful in your life.

Guard your heart.
Guard your devotion.
Guard the habits that keep you close to God.
Stay rooted in His Word.
Stay faithful in prayer.
Stay humble and watchful.

The work God is doing in you is precious.
And when you guard what He has built, that fruit continues to grow, not only for your life, but for the blessing and strengthening of others.

Remain faithful.
Remain vigilant.

And trust that the God who began the work in you will continue to grow it for His glory.

Father, thank You for the work You have done in my life. Help me to guard what You have built within me. Keep my heart sensitive to Your voice and my spirit watchful against anything that would weaken my walk with You. Strengthen me to remain faithful and vigilant in every season. In Jesus’ name, amen.

I hope this has been a blessing to someone.
Until next time, remember we walk with Christ, one day at a time, one step at a time, one prayer at a time.
