June 25TH 2025 – What Really Matters

“Now when all Israel saw that the king did not listen to them, the people answered the king, saying: ‘What share have we in David? We have no inheritance in the son of Jesse. Every man to your tents, O Israel! Now see to your own house, O David!'” (2 Chronicles 10:16)

In today’s world, filled with 24-hour news cycles and constant updates, it’s easy to get overwhelmed by negativity. With reports of political divisions between people, wars and conflict, and disasters, it’s natural to feel anxious or even hopeless. In 2 Chronicles 10, we see the people of Israel grappling with the splitting of their nation. Instead of looking to God for hope, they focused on their circumstances and felt lost.

Philippians 4:8 reminds us to shift our focus: “Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.”

No matter where we find ourselves whether personally or as a nation. It’s easy to get caught up in negativity. Recently, in the USA, we’ve seen a lot of polarization, hate, and fear, much like the turmoil described in the Bible regarding the end times. It’s easy to feel swept away by these overwhelming narratives.

Instead of fixating on the bad news and the plans of darkness, let’s turn our attention to Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith. When we fix our eyes on Him, we discover peace and the promise of an abundant life.

“Follow only that which leads you to Jesus, because that’s what truly matters.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, Thank You for Your grace and forgiveness. Help me be discerning about what I listen to and who I follow. May I always remember Your goodness and grace in my life. I am grateful for my family, friends, and all those around me. Use me to share positivity and truth with others, drawing them closer to You, where they will find real hope and love. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

June 24th 2025 – Finding Significance in God’s Presence

Leave a reply

“For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.” (Psalm 139:13-14)

Loneliness can often feel like a heavy cloak that we cannot remove. In our fast-paced world, it’s easy to feel insignificant or that our presence goes unnoticed. We may struggle with the feeling that we are not needed, leading to a deep sense of isolation.

However, as Christians, we are reminded through Scripture that our worth does not come from how others perceive us, but from God’s perspective. Psalm 139 beautifully illustrates that each of us is intentionally created and wonderfully made. This truth is foundational; it tells us that we are significant in God’s eyes.

When you feel lonely or insignificant, it’s essential to turn your heart and mind toward God. Here are some steps to consider:

Pray: Engage in honest conversation with God. Express your feelings of loneliness and ask for His comfort and reassurance. Philippians 4:6-7 encourages us to present our requests to God, promising that His peace will guard our hearts.
Seek Scripture: Dive into the Word. Verses like Matthew 11:28 invite us to come to Jesus with our burdens. Reading stories of individuals in the Bible who felt alone, such as Elijah or David, can provide comfort as we see how God was present with them in their struggles.
Connect with Others: Reach out and connect with fellow believers. Community is vital in combating loneliness. Hebrews 10:24-25 encourages us to consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together.
Serve: Sometimes, focusing on helping others can lift us out of our feelings of insignificance. Galatians 5:13 reminds us to serve one another humbly in love. This act can help us realize that our contributions matter and that we are needed in God’s family.
Reflect on God’s Promises: God promises that He will never leave us nor forsake us (Hebrews 13:5). Meditating on His faithfulness can provide solace in times of loneliness.

“In times of loneliness, let us remember we are never truly alone; God is always with us, and He has a plan for each of our lives.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for reminding us of our worth in Your eyes. Help us to find comfort in Your presence when we feel lonely and insignificant. May we seek connection with You and with others, recognizing that we are part of a greater purpose in Your kingdom. In Jesus’s name, Amen.

June 21st 2025 – How Much Longer?

1 Reply

“They shouted to the Lord and said, ‘O Sovereign Lord, holy and true, how long before you judge the people who belong to this world and avenge our blood for what they have done to us?’” (Revelation 6:10)

In Revelation chapter 6, we encounter the voices of those who lost their lives for their faith. These martyred souls are in Heaven, fully aware of the injustices occurring on Earth and the suffering of their fellow believers. Their heartfelt cry to the Father resonates: “O Sovereign Lord, holy and true, how long until you bring justice and avenge our blood?” In essence, they are asking, “Lord, this is not right. How much longer must we wait for Your intervention?”

God responds to their earnest prayers:

“Then a white robe was given to each of them. And they were told to rest a little longer until the full number of their brothers and sisters—their fellow servants of Jesus who were to be martyred—had joined them.” (Revelation 6:11)

This response reminds us that God’s timing often differs from our own. Ecclesiastes 3:11 tells us, “He has made everything beautiful in its time.”

I think back to road trips with my children when they were young. About an hour in, I would hear the familiar question, “How much longer until we get there?” My answers were often reassuring yet vague: “We’re almost there,” or “Just a little bit longer.”

Likewise, the martyred saints are seeking clarity on their vindication, and God simply replies, “Just a little bit longer.” We often find ourselves asking God similar questions: “When will You return, Lord?” or “When will my prayers be answered?” His gentle reminder is always, “Just a little bit longer. Be patient; I am in control and working everything according to My perfect will.”

“God’s delays are not necessarily His denials. So keep praying.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, help us to remain steadfast and free from anxiety, especially when we face false accusations or injustices. Empower us to boldly share Your message of salvation with all who will listen until our time on Earth concludes or You return. We are grateful for Your love and presence in our lives. Protect us in these times, and grant us the strength to proclaim Your gospel until the very end. We eagerly await the day of Jesus’ return. Amen.

June 19th 2025 – Possessing Faith In the End-Times

1 Reply

“Behold the proud, His soul is not upright in him; But the just shall live by his faith.” (Habakkuk 2:4)

Faith is fundamentally about trusting in God. To have faith means to believe that God will fulfill His promises. This trust forms the core of our Christian journey, shaping both our salvation and our ongoing relationship with the Lord. One of the most challenging aspects of faith often lies in the waiting. God has assured us of many things, including His glorious return, yet the period of waiting can be arduous. It is during these times that we must prioritize trusting God’s promises over the uncertainties we perceive around us.

When we survey the world, we see corrupt leadership, rampant sin, and the enemy causing chaos in lives. In these moments, we may find ourselves crying out, “Lord Jesus, come!” However, as we utter these prayers, we are called to walk in faith. We must believe that God’s plans surpass our understanding. He may be allowing suffering to persist a bit longer to draw others to salvation through Christ. The wonderful truth is that one day, He will return, and when He does, everything will be restored, and our world will be transformed forever. This is not just a comforting fairy tale; it is a profound reality. We hold this truth by faith, anchored in the One who has consistently proven His faithfulness.

“When Christ returns, the world will be renewed, our bodies will be transformed, and evil will be vanquished.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for the promises found in Your Word. Grant me the faith to trust in those promises, no matter my feelings or the circumstances surrounding me. I wholeheartedly believe that You are God, that Jesus is my Savior, and that He will return one day. Empower me to share this message of hope with everyone around me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

June 12th 2025 – Heavenly Signs, Earthly Hope

1 Reply

“There will be signs in the sun, moon, and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. People will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken. At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.” (Luke 21:25-28)

In this passage, Jesus speaks of a time filled with uncertainty and fear. The imagery of cosmic upheaval and earthly distress paints a stark picture of the challenges that may come. However, amidst this turmoil, Jesus offers a powerful reminder: “When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.”

As believers, we are often confronted with trials and tribulations that can leave us feeling overwhelmed and anxious about the future. The signs in the heavens and the chaos on earth can serve as metaphors for the struggles we face in our daily lives. Whether it’s personal trials, societal issues, or global crises, it’s easy to be consumed by fear and despair.

Yet, Jesus encourages us to respond differently. Instead of cowering in fear, He calls us to stand tall and lift our heads. This posture of hope and expectation reminds us that our faith is not rooted in the circumstances around us but in the promise of our Savior. Each challenge we face is an opportunity to deepen our faith and trust in God’s plan.

How to apply this in your life.

Recognize the Signs: Take time to reflect on the signs around you—both the challenges and the blessings. How can these experiences draw you closer to God?
Stand in Faith: When faced with fear or uncertainty, consciously choose to stand firm in your faith. Lift your head in prayer, seeking God’s guidance and strength.
Embrace Redemption: Remember that Jesus’ return is not just a future event but a present reality that influences how we live today. Live with the hope of redemption in your heart, sharing that hope with others.

As we meditate on these passages, let us remember that though the world may shake around us, our foundation in Christ remains unshakable.

“Let us live each day with the confidence that our redemption is near, empowering us to face each moment with courage and grace.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for the assurance that even in times of distress, You are our refuge and strength. Help us to lift our heads and trust in Your promises. May we remain steadfast in our faith, looking forward to the glorious return of Your Son. Equip us to be beacons of hope in a world filled with fear. In Jesus’ name, we pray, Amen.

June 11th 2025 – God’s Love Never Fails

1 Reply

“Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away.” (1 Corinthians 13:8)

Have you ever contemplated the meaning of love from an eternal perspective? One day, everything we know on this earth will transform. When Christ returns in all His glory, heaven will merge with our reality, altering our lives, homes, bodies, and relationships forever. The things we often hold dear—our achievements, possessions, and even the knowledge we’ve gained—will fade into insignificance. Yet, amidst all this change, one truth remains constant: love.

When we stand before Christ, our faith will no longer be necessary, and the hope for a brighter future will be fulfilled. But love will endure. The love that spoke the universe into existence and breathed life into humanity will continue to nourish the saints in heaven. This is not just any love; it is the divine love that walked among us, healing the sick, comforting the brokenhearted, and ultimately, bearing our sins on the cross. This same love has prepared a place for us for all eternity. The love that empowers us in this life will also embrace us in the next. It is a love that transcends time and space, a love that is constant in its commitment, unwavering in its support, and ever-present in our darkest moments. This love never fails, never falters, and never tires. It is the unwavering love of God.

“We love Him because He first loved us.” (1 John 4:19)

Since this love is everlasting, let us start embodying it today. We will share eternity with our brothers and sisters in Christ, so why not express that love now? Love is not merely a feeling; it is an action, a choice we make daily. As we extend the love given to us through Christ—through kindness, compassion, and forgiveness—the world will take notice and yearn for the same. Our love can be a reflection of God’s grace, a testimony of His goodness. When they seek it, we can guide them to the infinite source of love—Jesus, who is the embodiment of love itself.

Let us remember that love releases the power of the Spirit in our lives and in our churches. It brings unity where there is division, healing where there is hurt, and hope where there is despair. When we allow God’s love to flow through us, we become vessels of His grace, agents of change in a world that desperately needs it.

“Amidst the fleeting whispers of knowledge and the temporary echoes of prophecy, love stands eternal, unwavering in its promise to endure through all trials and tribulations.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I come before You with a heart full of gratitude for the profound love You have shown me. Thank You for loving me unconditionally, for Your grace that covers my shortcomings, and for the hope that fills my days. Help me to love others in the same way You have loved me—without reservation and with a heart that seeks the best for them. Teach me to recognize opportunities to share Your love, whether through a kind word, a listening ear, or a helping hand. May my actions reflect Your light in this world, drawing others closer to You. Use me today as an instrument of Your peace and a beacon of Your love. In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.

Experience a friend like no other. If you do not know Him personally, I encourage you not to pass up the precious gift of His love and eternal life. Jesus died on the cross for you and me. Jesus loves us and wants to help us through the storms. If you have not asked Jesus to be your Lord and Savior please click here 4 Simple Steps to Jesus

June 6th 2025 – Who Are You?

3 Replies

“Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, To the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints who are in all Achaia:” (2 Corinthians 1:1)

“Who are you?” This question often prompts us to respond with our professions, such as “I’m a teacher” or “I work as an engineer.” However, these responses tell more about what we do rather than who we truly are. To uncover our real identity, we must look beyond our roles and understand to whom we truly belong.

Many people may not realize it, but we all find ourselves in one of two camps: we are either children of God or children of the devil. This distinction might be difficult for some to accept, yet Jesus made it clear in John 8:44 when He addressed the Pharisees, stating, “For you are the children of your father the devil and you love to do the evil things he does.” In unequivocal terms, Jesus identifies those who engage in evil as belonging to the devil. But how can any of us become children of God when we have all sinned? The answer lies in one name—Jesus. Through His sacrificial death on the cross, He bore our sins, burying them forever. When we ask for His forgiveness and place our faith in His death and resurrection, we are welcomed into His family as children of God.

“But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name:” (John 1:12)

Now that you grasp the essence of the question, let me ask again… “Who are you and who do you belong to?”

“Our primary identity is not in what we do but in who we are or ‘whose’ we are.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I come before You today with a humble heart, recognizing that I have sinned and done evil in Your sight. I confess my shortcomings and ask for Your forgiveness. I believe that Jesus, Your Son, died on the cross for my sins and rose again, conquering death and offering me new life. I trust in His sacrifice and accept the grace You freely offer. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit, empower me to walk in Your ways, and guide me to live a life that reflects Your love and truth. Help me to understand my identity as Your child and to share that truth with others. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

June 4th 2025 – Sin Kills

Leave a reply

“For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 6:23)

“For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through Christ.” (2 Corinthians 5:21)

Sin—such a small word, yet it carries immense consequences. Reflect on the turmoil in your own life stemmed from sin, and consider the broader issues in the world caused by the sins of others—wars, violence, theft, apathy, and jealousy. The list is endless. There’s a saying, “Sin is the seed, and death is the harvest.” The Bible speaks extensively about sin, revealing that it encompasses not only our wrongdoings but also our failures to act with love, generosity, and kindness.

If we were perfect, never committing wrong and always doing right, sin would not be a concern for us. “Wow, that really helps!” some might think. However, the reality is that we are all sinners…

Yet, the Bible provides guidance on how to manage our past sins as well as those we confront in the present and future. It’s simpler than you might imagine. Wondering about “past sins”? The answer is clear: seek forgiveness.

“But if we confess our sins to Him, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness. If we claim we have not sinned, we are calling God a liar and showing that His word has no place in our hearts.” (1 John 1:9-10)

What about our current struggles with sin? Hebrews encourages us to “strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up,” and to “run with endurance the race God has set before us.” (Hebrews 12:1-2)

We achieve this by focusing on Jesus, our guide and perfecter of faith. Here’s an empowering truth to hold onto, even on April Fool’s Day: Don’t tell God you have a big sin problem; instead, remind your sin problem that you have a Big God. Focus on life, reflect on Jesus, and keep your eyes fixed on Him.

“While our missteps lead us to darkness, the true light shines in the gift of grace, offering us the promise of everlasting life through love and redemption.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for bearing my sins. I acknowledge the wrongs I have done and the good I have neglected. I confess my sins to You and ask for Your forgiveness. (Take a moment to confess your sins, both in action and in spirit.) Thank You, Lord, for assisting me with my past and present sins. Help me to focus not on my shortcomings but on my Savior, Jesus. Empower me to rise above the burdens of sin and to live the life You have destined for me. I am grateful for Your divine strategy in addressing my sin. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

June 3rd 2025 – Jesus Above All

2 Replies

“But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” (Matthew 6:33)

In our fast-paced world, it’s easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of life. We often prioritize work, relationships, and personal ambitions, inadvertently placing them above our relationship with Jesus. However, the call to follow Christ is a call to put Him first in everything we do. The theme “Only You” reminds us that Jesus should occupy the foremost place in our hearts and lives.

When we seek Jesus first, we align our lives with His purpose and plan. This doesn’t mean that we neglect our responsibilities or passions; rather, it means that we approach them with a heart that desires to honor Him. By prioritizing our relationship with Christ, we gain wisdom and strength to navigate the challenges of life.

Consider the story of Mary and Martha (Luke 10:38-42). Martha was busy with many tasks, while Mary chose to sit at Jesus’ feet and listen to His teachings. Jesus gently affirmed Mary’s choice, highlighting that prioritizing Him is the “one thing” needed. This serves as a powerful reminder that our time spent with Jesus is never wasted.

Take a moment to reflect on your daily priorities. What is one thing you can do today to place Jesus at the center of your life? Whether it’s dedicating a specific time for prayer, reading Scripture, or simply pausing to acknowledge His presence, remember that putting Jesus first transforms not only your day but your entire life.

“When we choose to put Jesus first, we discover that everything else falls into place. He is our anchor, our guide, and our greatest treasure. Let this be our daily commitment: to say “Only You, Lord” in every situation, trusting that He truly knows what we need.”

Prayer:

Dear Lord, help me to recognize the areas in my life where I have placed other things above You. Teach me to seek You first in all that I do. May my heart always desire to spend time in Your presence, allowing Your love and wisdom to guide my steps. Thank You for being my priority and for loving me unconditionally. I commit to putting You first today and every day. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

June 1st 2025 – The Strong Tower

Leave a reply

“The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.” (Proverbs 18:10)

For those of us who believe, the Name of Jesus serves as our refuge—a stronghold filled with protection, provision, safety, and comfort. In His Name, we find strength and reassurance.

It is in the Name of Jesus that every demon must bow, and it is through this Name that our prayers are powerfully answered.

Let us reflect on a few scriptures that reveal these profound truths:

“Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” (Philippians 2:9-11)

“And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues;” (Mark 16:17)

“And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.” (John 14:13-14)

These scriptures remind us that all power resides in His Name. It’s no surprise that the enemy seeks to diminish its significance. Yet, as those called by His great Name, we cherish and honor THE NAME OF JESUS!

“Amid life’s storms, the name of the Lord stands as a refuge; when the righteous seek it, they find shelter and strength.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, today we turn our hearts to the mighty power of Your Name. We declare that You are Lord, and through Your Name, we can cast out demons and heal the sick. It is in Your Name that our prayers find answers. Greant me the wisdom to understand Your Word so that I know how to defend against Satan’s weapons of destruction. Finally, thank You for the victory I have in Your name “Jesus Christ”. No matter what Satan says or does, I cannot be taken from You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
