IN DUE TIME, HE WILL EXALT YOU.

BIBLE VERSES
1 Peter 5:6-7

"Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you."

Do you have something in mind that’s been bothering you? We sometimes tend to run to people when we are troubled and bothered and end up either gossiping, worrying, or experiencing backlash because people are but human beings prone to the attacks and deceptions of the enemy. But the opening scripture says we should humble ourselves before God and cast all our problems on Him because He cares!

My dear ones in Christ, God alone is our safest place and is the One Who can truly understand us and know the depths of our hearts! He won’t rebuke us when we are real before Him, abandon us in our troubles, or ignore the cries of our hearts. Your problems and worries are safe in His hands, and He is here to give you wisdom and guidance! Come boldly to the throne of grace, beloved! And find His mercy and sufficient grace in your desperate times of need. He loves you!

PRAYER:

Almighty God, I come to Your throne of grace and surrender the cares of my heart. Before I even speak a word, You already know. You perceive my thoughts from afar. You are the safest place I can run to, and I know that as I humble myself and trust in You, You will lift me up in due time. Thank You, Father, in Jesus’ name. Amen!

GOOD Morning/Afternoon/Evening.
Have a blessed day

PRODUCE THE FRUIT OF SPIRIT EVERYDAY

BIBLE VERSES
Galatians 5:22-23

"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law".KJV

Christians stand out in dark places because of the Holy Spirit dwelling in us. This means that amid chaos and violence, there is a child of God who produces peace, gentleness, and kindness; amid hate and sorrow, a child of God continues to rejoice, give thanks, and produce Christlike love for difficult people and situations.

God's children, I know that accomplishing this is easier said than done. When faced with difficult times and people, the flesh usually gets the hardest hit. But we are not alone, Child of God! The Holy Spirit is our Comforter, and He always intercedes for us (Romans 8:26-27)! As we choose to yield to the Spirit every day, rest in the presence of God and His Word and stay still in the stormy boat of life so the Word of God will be a lamp to our feet and a light to our path (Psalm 119:105) that the Holy Spirit will illuminate. And the God of peace will crush satan under our feet as we produce the fruit of the Spirit (Romans 16:20)! We are victorious! Glory be to the Father!

PRAYER:

Abba Father, thank You for the Holy Spirit, Who is my Helper, Comforter, and prayer partner! I don’t have to be afraid or worry about difficult situations and people because the Holy Spirit is in me, producing the righteousness of Christ in all things. Thank You for strengthening me and giving me the grace to overcome all my weaknesses in Jesus’ name. Amen.

GOOD MORNING

THE LORD IS CLOSE TO THE BROKENHEARTED

BIBLE VERSE
Psalms 34:18

"The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit." KJV.

Getting our hearts broken in this life is not part of Abba Father’s plans. No father wants to see his son or daughter shedding tears from heartache and pain. Sometimes, we get our hearts broken as a consequence of our actions and decisions. Sometimes, it is a result of other people’s brokenness. The Lord says that His plans for us are good, to make us prosperous and not to harm us in any way (Jeremiah 29:11). But because we live in a broken world, we are bound to get our hearts broken until God comes to heal every heart (Revelation 21:4).

Beloved, even though our hearts may be broken, the Lord promised that He is close to the brokenhearted. In all our pain, sorrows, tears, and heartaches, He is with us. His presence is our safest place to be vulnerable, and in His Word, we can find healing and peace. One day, God will wipe away all our tears. So, let us hold on and don’t ever give up because the Lord is always close to us. We are so loved by Him!

PRAYER:

Lord Jesus, thank You for being close to my side always, but most especially during the days when my heart gets broken. It is comforting to know that I am not alone in facing life’s pain and sorrows, for I have You always. I know that one day You will wipe away every tear from my eyes, and there will be no more pain and sorrow. I look forward to that day, so I will keep holding on to You and persevere in my faith walk in Jesus’ name. Amen.

GOOD MORNING
Have a blessed day.

NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE WITH GOD.

BIBLE VERSE
Jeremiah 3: 16

“And it shall come to pass, when ye be multiplied and increased in the land, in those days, saith the Lord, they shall say no more, The ark of the covenant of the Lord: neither shall it come to mind: neither shall they remember it; neither shall they visit it; neither shall that be done any more.” (KJV)

Knowing God and walking in His ways will always lead to a triumphant life. The Ark of the Covenant was cherished by the Israelites as it represented the presence of God. Any time the Ark of the Covenant accompanied the Israelites, they were assured of God’s support and comfort. However, the death of our Lord Jesus Christ put an end to the need for the Ark of the Covenant; every believer in Christ has been given access to the presence of God (Matthew 27:51).

God's children, we thank God for making it convenient for everyone who believes in Him to call upon Him wherever they are (Hebrews 4:16). Celebrating our Lord Jesus Christ is something we must do every day to show appreciation for what He has done for us because, without His blood, no one will ever qualify to come close to God. The name of the LORD be praised. Hallelujah!

PRAYER:

My everlasting Father, thank You for making the Ark of the Covenant irrelevant in this dispensation. Yes, by sacrificing Jesus Christ for our sins, You have given us access to Your presence. I will celebrate Jesus Christ every day for making it possible for me to call on You anytime to have fellowship with You. Amen!

GOOD MORNING

KNOW THE ESSENCE OF WAITING.

BIBLE VERSE
Psalms 40:1-3

“I waited patiently for the Lord; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the Lord.”(KJV)

Waiting is part of the walk with the LORD. There is nobody who ever walked with the LORD who didn’t wait on God at some point in their life. Abraham waited for a period of time before his request for a son was granted. Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, and David all waited before God led them into their destiny. Waiting is a period when we look up to God for the fulfillment of His promise (Isaiah 40:31). In such a time, we know that our effort will amount to nothing, so we just have to allow God to have His way until He has given us what He has promised.

God's children, patience, prayer, meditation of the Word, fellowship, thanksgiving, and obedience are some of the key things that sustain us during our wait. We may sometimes have to fast and spend time alone with God (Matthew 4:1-2). Brothers and sisters in Christ, let us learn to wait on the Lord to the end, and He will reward us and put a new song in our mouth. Hallelujah! Let us learn to wait!

PRAYER:

My faithful Father, thank You for teaching me how to wait on You. Yes, it takes waiting on You for some of Your promises to be fulfilled. I put Your teaching to work now and develop the patience of waiting on You, till all the promises I’m believing You for are fulfilled in Jesus’ name. Amen!

GOOD MORNING

BE CAREFUL TO WHOM YOU LISTEN TO.

BIBLE VERSES
Ecclesiastes 7: 5-6

“It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise, than for a man to hear the song of fools. For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is the laughter of the fool: this also is vanity.” (KJV)

You are what you listen to consistently. The ears are the doors to the heart, so the things we hear are registered on the heart, waiting to be executed. The words of the wise can make you wise and productive (Proverbs 4:20–22). On the contrary, the words of fools will only produce foolishness and lack of progress.

Dear beloved, it is very important to choose who you listen to; when you walk with the wise, you will become wise and useful to God and society (Proverbs 13:20). The Word of God is filled with so much wisdom and is capable of making you wise. Fill your heart with the Holy Scriptures through meditation, and God will guide you to choose and associate with people who will make you wise and a good vessel for God to use. Hallelujah! Be Wise!

PRAYER:
My gracious Father, thank You for counseling me to be careful of who I listen to. Yes, listening to the wise will make me wise. Please lead me to find wise people in Christ Jesus to confide in when I need advice. Help me also find wise people to make friends with and, more importantly, meditate on Your Word to be wise in order to counsel others. Amen!

GOOD MORNING
Have a blessed Sunday.

Remember the good times, be strong during the difficult times, love always, and laugh often while thanking God every day.

THERE IS POWER IN UNITY.

BIBLE VERSE
Matthew 18:20

“For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.” (KJV)

Learning to work as one in the Kingdom of God is walking in wisdom in fulfillment of the Word of God. The children of God who learn to live in unity with other believers in Christ Jesus will be unstoppable in their achievement. Jesus Christ is always present among believers who come together to seek the welfare of the Kingdom of God. Their prayers and plans for the Kingdom are always approved by God in heaven (Matthew 18:19).

God's children, one of the prayer requests of Jesus for His disciples is that they may be one just as He and the Father are one (John 17:11). Dear beloved, know when to walk in a group and when you are expected to do things alone. The Kingdom of God works better when believers work together in unity. For instance, when your church has a fundraising function; it will be more successful to do it as a team than having some members distancing themselves from the agreed project. May the Lord give you more insight into the power of unity. Hallelujah! You are One!

PRAYER:
My Savior Jesus Christ, thank You for teaching me about unity. Indeed, there is power made available when brethren dwell in unity. Please give more insight to Christians about remaining one in the faith so that our gathering can always intimidate the enemy and bring countless miracles to us. Amen!

GOOD MORNING
Have a blessed Sabbath.

DON'T OVERLOOK YOUR SOUL.

BIBLE VERSE
Luke 9: 25

“For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?” (KJV)

Dedicating your soul to the Lord is the best choice to make. Ever since sin entered the world, mankind’s attention has been diverted; it is easy for people to pay more attention to their outward man than their inward man. Some people can spend a lot on clothes, food, pleasure, and luxuries without thinking about the future of their souls (Luke 16:19–31). Some even claim that there is no hereafter; that when someone dies, that is the end of them.

Dear God's children, the soul of man does not die when the body dies. Therefore, it is vital to think about where your soul will be after your days on earth expire. Jesus Christ is the only person Who has been commissioned by the Father to save human souls (Acts 4:12). Spend time every day to make the right choices for your soul so that you don’t miss Christ and heaven. Feed your soul with the Word of God, prayer, and fasting to keep it alive for God’s service. Hallelujah! Remain Blessed!

PRAYER:

My dear Lord Jesus Christ, I’m grateful to hear that You are the only One Who can save the human soul from damnation in hell. I dedicate my soul to You by accepting You as my Lord and personal Savior. I pray for people who do not know You that when they hear the gospel, they will gladly accept You so that they can also be saved. Amen!

GOOD MORNING
Have a blessed day

And when you pray tonight…pray for the ability to understand God’s will. Once you truly get that what you want vs what God wants for you is different, you will be at peace. Your plans must align with God’s plan. What you want is an inch compared to the greatness of God.
