God Made Us And We Are His. We Are His People And The Sheep In His Care ! (Psalm 100:3) When our vision is focused on the plan of God, Satan cannot detour us. We’re not failures, we’re not quitters—we’re champions elected by God and it is God who is the champion at bringing us from a place of destruction to a place of total victory. As we put our faith in God alone, we reach that place of preordained victory and we become trophies of God’s grace that are set on display as a fragrant reminder of God's goodness! (2 Corinthians 2:14) I encourage you to be confident that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work, until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns! (Philippians 1:6) God’s Word To You : "Pray all the time and never give up!" (Luke 18:1) "I will not in any degree leave you helpless nor forsake or let you down! (Hebrews 13:5 Amp) Pray This Prayer With Me : Father, thank you for the plans you have for my future. Str...

“All Things” that we do and celebrate comes from the struggles, test and afflictions of life. Only our actions towards these events determine our successes or failures. To say "all things" the importance is not on what you or I can do, but its Christ, the Holy Spirit who lives in us! “All Things” can be accomplished, as long as our reliance is on God who supplies everything we need to carry out His plan for our life. (Romans 8:28-29) I encourage you not to fear failure, think the best and not the worst and go forth in the strength of the LORD and in the power of his might! (Ephesians 6:10) God’s Word To You : “My Grace Is Sufficient For You, My Power Is Made Perfect In Weakness!" (2 Corinthians 12:9) Pray This Prayer With Me : LORD, I ask you to strengthen me, strengthen my faith and release your power, as I walk in the predestined steps you have designed for me. I pray today and every day that you may place on me and in me an overcoming spirit to enable me to do a...

Great Is God’s Faithfulness Towards Us ! (Lamentations 3:22) Many of the greatest lessons we will learn comes from time spent with God in the fires of affliction and rejection. During those moments, as we continue to stand in faith believing God’s word, praying and sending praises to God for his faithfulness, we become one of Satan’s greatest threats. Satan will try and attack your mind to keep you living in hopelessness with thoughts of fear, anger and overwhelming questions such as: “Where is your God now? You prayed until you had no tears left. You fasted. You stood on the promises. You trusted.” Satan is the father of all lies. Cast down those vain imaginations and know—God is forever faithful and he won’t fail you! (2 Corinthians 10:5) I encourage you to continue to obey God, continue to delight in what God has called you to do and you will experience success and abundance that will exceed all your expectations! (Ephesians 3:20) God’s Word To You : “Be still and know t...

Patient Endurance Is What You Need Now , so that you will continue to do God's will. Then you will receive all that he has promised! (Hebrews 10:36) Waiting for God’s timing is never wasted time, it’s important in the growing of our faith! While waiting, we must never forget God is never slow to respond and there are times he may have reasons for delaying his response, because he knows there is better down the road. I encourage you if you’re waiting, to remain positive, keep your expectations high and let your dreams be bigger than your fears and your actions louder than your words! God is willing and able to bless you physically, financially, relationally, emotionally, etc…, according to his perfect will!    God’s Word To You: “I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future!” (Jeremiah 29:11) “I am the LORD! If I say it, it will happen. There will be no more delays!”(Ezekiel 12:25) Pray This Prayer With M...

God Is Able To Make Every Grace Overflow To You, So That In Every Way, Always Having Everything You Need, You May Excel In Every Good Work ! (2 Corinthians 9:8 HCSB) In Romans 8:28, “all things” means: through the bad times, the unpleasant, the ugly, etc…, God promises to work all things out for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose! It doesn’t matter the condition, I encourage you to continue to stand in faith, believe God loves you and believe God’s plans are to prosper you and give you hope for your future! God’s Word To You : “I know the plans that I have for you, declares the Lord. They are plans for peace and not disaster, plans to give you a future filled with hope!” (Jeremiah 29:11) Pray This Prayer With Me : LORD, I ask that you strengthen me each day, as I live a life of faith and the life you’ve purposed me to live. As I continue to walk in my predestined places, thank you for maturing my faith to believe and experience your awesomeness!...

The scripture above is both instructional and wisdom, God lifts those who are humble to greater things; however, God has no problem bringing down the proud. The Bible describes humility as meekness, lowliness and absence of self, and proud as self-seeking, self-exalted and that person is certain to face resistance from God. (James 4:6) Therefore, humility is a prerequisite for a Christian and necessary if we desire the blessings and the entering into the kingdom of God.   (Philippians 4:19, Matthew 5:3) In Matthew 20:28, just as Jesus did not come to be served, but to serve, we too must we commit ourselves to serving others. If you desire, promotion, elevation, favor, I encourage you to humble yourself under the mighty hand of God and God will exalt you at the proper time! (1 Peter 5:5-6) God’s Word To You : “Whoever exalts himself will be humbled and whoever humbles himself will be honored!” (Matthew 23:12) Pray This Prayer With Me : Father, according to your will, I desire...

Do Unto Others What You Would Have Them Do To You , is commonly known as the “Golden Rule.” Matthew 7:12 teaches us a lesson from Jesus about loving our enemies. Rather than doing to others what they have done to us or giving them what they may deserve, we’re to treat them the way we would like for them to treat us. I will be the first to agree, it’s difficult, but doable. One of the simplest is by imagining yourself in their shoes. When we take a moment and think about how we would like to be treated in a certain situation, we would quickly like for someone to love us and have mercy on us. Do you like to be treated with love and respect? If your answer is yes, then you should give that gift to others and one day it will return back to you. God’s Word To You : "I'm giving you a new commandment: Love each other in the same way that I have loved you!” (John 13:34) Pray this prayer with me : Father, may my every thought, word and deed be done to show others the love and mercy...
