Those who choose to make seeking the Kingdom of God priority have an endless supply of treasure that flows from God’s riches in glory! (Philippians 4:19, Malachi 3:10, Luke 12:34) If we’re living by faith, based the promises of grace, it makes it difficult to worry about the future. (Philippians 4:6-7) I encourage you to make the choice daily to seek the Kingdom of God, to align and position yourself, so that in all things, at all times, you will have everything you need! (Matthew 10:7, 2 Corinthians 9:8 NIV) “Let go of your concerns! Then you will know that I am God! I rule the nations! I rule the earth!” (Psalm 46:10) ~ God Pray This Prayer With Me: LORD, as I make Your Kingdom and Your righteousness my priority, thank You for Your continual blessings upon my life. Thank You for being Jehovah Jireh, my provider, Jehovah Rapha, my healer and Jehovah Shamma, You are with me! I humbly pray, in Jesus' name, amen… Have a great day and a great week! Never forget, in all circumstanc...

Whether we know it as “you’re going to reap what you sow” or “what goes around comes around.” If people followed this Golden Rule, “Do unto others what you would like them to do to you,” this world would be a better place. (Matthew 7:12) Sadly, everyone will not follow this rule, because everyone is not a follower of Christ. I encourage you my fellow Christian sisters and brothers to continue to do right when wronged, bless when cursed, love when hated, pray when preyed on and always forgive. (Luke 6:28, John 15:18, Mark 11:25, Colossians 3:13) Whatever treatment we expect to receive from our Heavenly Father, we must give to others! (Mark 11:26, Matthew 6:14) Love each other in the same way that I have loved you!” (John 13:34) ~ God Pray This Prayer With Me: Father, may my every thought, word and deed be done to show others the love and mercy You’ve shown me! I ask You to direct my steps, so that my words, deeds and seeds sown will please You always! I humbly pray this prayer, ...

God Has Not Forgotten You—If You Remain Humble, You Will Be Exalted ! (Hebrews 6:10, Luke 14:11) James 4:6 is both instructional and wisdom, “God lifts those who are humble to greater; however, God has no problem bringing down the proud.” The Bible describes humbleness as meekness, lowliness and absence of self, and proud as full of pride, self-seeking, self-exalted and that person is certain to face resistance from God. Therefore, humility is a precondition for a Christian and necessary if we desire the blessings and the entering into the kingdom of God. (Philippians 4:19, Matthew 5:3) I encourage you to humble yourself under the mighty hand of God and God will favor, promote, and exalt you at the proper time! (1 Peter 5:5-6) “Whoever exalts himself will be humbled and whoever humbles himself will be honored!” (Matthew 23:12) ~ God Pray This Prayer With Me : Father, according to Your will, I desire a heart that pleases You and a life that gives You all glory. Today I surrender ...

Pray For Each Other So That You Will Be Healed ! The insistent, heartfelt, earnest prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective! (James 5:15-16) Prayer is our connection with the omnipotent (all-powerful) creator of the universe! There is nothing and there will never be anyone or anything more powerful than our LORD and Savior, Jesus Christ! (John 16:33, 1 John 4:4) He can heal every sickness, He can solve every problem—nothing is impossible for our God! (Mark 9:23) I encourage you to approach God's throne of grace with confidence, tell God what you need and receive victory in Jesus’ name! (Hebrews 4:16, Philippians 4:6)  “If you ask anything in My Name I will do it!” (John 14:14) ~ God    Pray This Prayer With Me : Father, thank You for the opportunity to approach You every day and anytime through prayer. Today I turn my thoughts, words and deeds over to You and ask You to preside over every detail of my life and order my steps according to Your will. I ...

When experiencing the fiery trials and afflictions, even though we know the LORD promised deliverance and He will work it all out for our good, we may not understand God's ways. (Psalms 34:19, Romans 8:28) I encourage you to rely heavily on the very God who created you and dwells inside of you! (John 14:26, 1 John 4:4) His very existence, creative power and abilities are waiting for us to walk in the fullness of our creativity! (Romans 8:19)  "The mountains may move and the hills may shake, but my love and faithfulness will never depart from you!" (Isaiah 54:10) ~ God Pray This Prayer With Me: LORD, thank You for being an ever-present, almighty, everlasting and a forever faithful God!   May my eyes remain focused on Your Kingdom, my heart centered on You and my mind stay on You. (Isaiah 26:3) I humbly pray, in Jesus' name, amen… Have a great day! Never forget, in all circumstances, God loves you and you’re extremely valuable and important in God’s eyes! In His s...

With God, there is no limit to what you can do and there is no obstacle you can’t overcome! (Philippians 4:13) We walk in this power by faith! (2 Corinthians 5:7) Whatever the conditions we face, we have predetermined victory over satan, because the Holy Spirit (God) in us, is greater than anything or anyone in this world! (1 John 4:4) I encourage you to remain focused on how many times God has answered your prayers in the past, how much God loves you and how He is forever faithful! (Psalm 100:5) "I am the LORD God of all humanity. Nothing is too hard for Me!” (Jeremiah 32:27) ~God    Pray This Prayer With Me : Father, I thank You for Your Holy Spirit who dwells within me, comforting and strengthening me daily, so I may prosper and succeed. Thank You for the victory You have given me through Jesus Christ! (Philippians 4:13, 2 Corinthians 2:14) I humbly pray, in Jesus' mighty name, amen! Have a great day and a great week! Never forget, in all circumstances, God loves you...

God Planned Good To Come Out Of This! (Genesis 50:20) Everyone faces life’s challenges, however, despite the bad, God promises to work all things out for our good according to His plan! (Romans 8:28) Continue to be encouraged, stand in faith, believe God loves you and believe something good is going to happen for 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) ~God Pray This Prayer With Me: Father, thank You for Your loving plan how You put on flesh and through Your Son Jesus Christ, You changed the course of human history. I ask that You strengthen me each day, as I live a life of faith and purpose You’ve purposed me to live. I humbly pray, in Jesus' name, Amen! Have a great day and a great weekend! Never forget, in all circumstances, God loves you and you are extremely valuable and important in God’s eyes! In His service, Jacob...
