September 29th 2025 – Seek His Face

1 Reply

“Because I am righteous, I will see you. When I awake, I will see you face to face and be satisfied.” (Psalm 17:15)

I recently came across an insightful article stating that a baby’s sight is the last sense to develop. Yet, even before they can focus, newborns instinctively look toward faces. Studies reveal that infants begin reading faces at a remarkably young age; they can sense the warmth of a smile and respond in kind. When a mother frequently smiles and interacts with her newborn, that little one lights up with anticipation as soon as she enters the room, ready to connect.

Conversely, babies are also acutely aware of negative emotions. If a mother’s face shows displeasure or anger, the child’s smile quickly fades, eyes clouding with confusion. They are masters at picking up cues from those around them, especially their primary caregiver.

When infants miss out on these positive interactions during crucial developmental stages, it stunts their emotional growth. Older children who lack such nurturing often struggle to express feelings and connect with others. In some parts of the world, orphans left alone in cribs miss out on these vital exchanges, leading to profound emotional and physical delays. The research is clear: face-to-face interaction is essential for healthy development.

As adults, we continue this pattern. We instinctively gauge the emotions of those around us, interpreting their expressions to understand their feelings. A raised eyebrow or a subtle smile can guide how we communicate. We adapt our words and stories based on the reactions we observe, seeking approval and connection.

Perhaps this innate tendency to watch faces is a divine design to help us relate to God.

My heart says of You, “Seek His face!” Your face, Lord, I will seek. (Psalm 27:8)

David uniquely emphasized God’s face throughout Scripture. He’s the only person described as a man after God’s own heart. Could it be that David’s closeness to God stemmed from his practice of seeking God’s face? He learned to draw his cues not from the world around him but from the very presence of the Almighty.

If we, like a newborn, seek to look into God’s face, we allow His gaze to guide us. As we immerse ourselves in His presence, we begin to reflect His righteousness. Just as a child delights in the approval of loving parents, we find joy in knowing we bring pleasure to our Heavenly Father.

Yet, in our busy lives, it’s easy to lose sight of His face. We can become preoccupied with the opinions of friends, church members, and society at large, allowing distractions to pull us away from the One who longs for our gaze.

If we neglect to seek God’s face, we risk becoming spiritually stunted, much like those infants deprived of nurturing care. We won’t mirror God’s love and righteousness to the world. I don’t want that for myself; I want to reflect His glory and grace to those around me.

“In seeking the face of God with a desire for Jesus, we find our true reflection; His love transforms our hearts, guiding us to shine His righteousness into the world.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I come before You with a heart yearning for connection. Help me to turn my eyes toward You and to gaze deeply into Your eyes. Like David, I long to seek Your face and live a life that brings You joy. May my heart be attuned to Your presence, and may I reflect Your righteousness in all I do. Show me Your smile, Lord, and fill me with Your love. Thank You for the gift of life and for being the ultimate Father who cares for me. In Jesus’ precious name, I pray, Amen.

September 23rd 2025 – What If Tomorrow Was The End

1 Reply

“But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up. Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness?” (2 Peter 3:10-11)

What if I told you that tomorrow our world was coming to an end? What would become important to you? Would you seek to buy more possessions? Would you spend the time catching up on your favorite TV show? Most likely, you would want to be with those you love or share the message of Jesus with anyone within reach.

While it may not be tomorrow (though it is always a possibility), the Bible assures us that one day, everything we know will change. There will be no more money to collect, careers to build, or earth to stand on. The only things that will remain are those that are eternal.

Money may someday be burned up, but when we give to the Lord, we invest in lives that are transformed for eternity. Similarly, our careers will not last forever, yet when we take a moment to witness to a co-worker, we help forge a relationship that can endure beyond this life. God has created us to be eternal beings, and our greatest purpose is to love Him and enjoy Him forever. The beautiful part is that we don’t have to wait to fulfill that purpose. By loving God and loving others, we begin to invest in eternal things and forever change our world.

“As children of God, we should live for the eternal, not the temporal.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I come before You, acknowledging that I was not created to merely occupy this world. You have greater things for me to accomplish—things that will last for eternity. Open my eyes to the opportunities around me to share Your love and grace with those in need. Inspire me to look beyond this world and be motivated by the hope of what is to come.

For anyone who feels distant from You or is seeking You for the first time, I pray that they may find You in their hearts. If you are ready to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, pray this with me:

“Dear Jesus, I acknowledge that I need You in my life. I confess my sins and ask for Your forgiveness. I believe that You died for my sins and rose again, and I accept You as my Lord and Savior. Help me to follow You and grow in my relationship with You every day. I commit my life to You. Thank you for loving me and giving me the gift of eternal life.”

Lord, may we all be inspired by the eternal and strive to live in a way that reflects Your love and grace. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

If you have never accepted Gods grace you will never experience true peace in your life. Please read below, or  Click Here to learn how and what it means to ask Jeaus into your life . Don’t wait until its too late. 

Jesus Christ says, “Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him” (Revelation 3:20)

The Bible promises eternal life to all who receive Christ: “God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He who has the Son has the life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have the life. I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life” (1 John 5:11-13)

If you have not asked Jesus into your lifeYou can receive Jesus Christ right now by faith through prayer.

Prayer is just talking with God. He knows your heart, so don’t worry about getting your words just right. Here is a suggested prayer to guide you:

Lord Jesus, I want to know you personally. Thank you for dying on the cross for my sins. I open the door of my life and receive you as my Saviour and Lord. Thank you for forgiving me of my sins and giving me eternal life. Take control of my life. Make me the kind of person You want me to be.

If have sincerely read this prayer and and believe the words true in your heart then congratulations!

(Luke 15:7) says that when one sinner accepts Jesus Christ as his or her Saviour the angels rejoice. So there’s a party going on in heaven right now over your decision! Remember this date as your “second birthday,” the day you were born into a new life in Christ! You have God’s Word that he answered your prayer.

Please take a moment to contact me, I would love to pray with you personally for this wonderful new journey you are on.

September 20th 2025 – Embracing God’s Love Through His Word

Leave a reply

“This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.” (1 John 4:9-10)

As we delve into the Scriptures, let us remember that the Bible is not merely a collection of rules or historical accounts—it is a profound love letter from God, intricately woven through the tapestry of time, all pointing toward Jesus Christ. Each page is infused with His love, grace, and an invitation to draw closer to Him. This holy narrative invites us to live within its story, to find our identity and purpose in the love of the Author.

In Proverbs 9:10, we find the beautiful truth that “the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.” This fear is not one of terror, but a deep respect and awe for the Creator who knows us intimately. It is rooted in love, a love that compels us to honor Him and His ways. We do not obey God’s commands out of fear of punishment; rather, we choose to follow Him because we are captivated by His goodness and grace.

Consider this: when we recognize the depth of God’s love for us, the natural response is to turn away from sin. We understand that sin is not merely a list of wrongdoings; it is a barrier that separates us from the One who loves us most. Why would we want to hurt the heart of the One who sacrificed everything for our sake? When we truly grasp the extent of His love, our desire to please Him becomes a joyful pursuit rather than a burdensome obligation.

As we read the Bible, let us do so with the understanding that it is alive, breathing, and active. The stories within it—of triumph, failure, redemption, and grace—are reflections of our own lives. Each verse speaks to us, inviting us into a deeper relationship with Christ. When we know the Author, we begin to run from sin, not out of fear, but because our hearts are drawn to His light.

Jesus calls us to follow Him, to leave behind the lies of the world, and to embrace the truth of His love. It is in this relationship that we discover true wisdom. We learn that the things of this world are fleeting, but His love is everlasting. As we immerse ourselves in His Word, we find clarity, purpose, and a deeper understanding of who we are meant to be.

Today, let us commit to reading the Bible not as a set of rules, but as a heartfelt invitation to experience God’s love. May we approach it with reverence and gratitude, knowing that through every story and command, He is leading us closer to Him. In our journey of faith, let us run towards Him, embracing the love that transforms our hearts and lives.

“God’s Word is not just a book of rules; it is His heart revealed, inviting us to dwell in His love and run toward the light of His grace.”

Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for Your Word—a beautiful love letter that guides us and reveals Your heart. Help us to see the Bible not as a set of rules, but as an invitation to know You more deeply. Teach us to respect and honor You with our lives, and may our love for You drive us away from sin and towards Your light. We long to live inside this love story, running towards You with open hearts. Amen.

September 18th 2025 – The Rooftop Approach

Leave a reply

“I know all the things you do, and I have opened a door for you that no one can close. You have little strength, yet you obeyed my word and did not deny me.” (Revelation 3:8)

Let’s face it: bringing people to Jesus can be incredibly challenging. Don’t expect applause from those who resist; prepare yourself for fierce opposition from the enemy. The journey isn’t for the faint-hearted—half-hearted efforts won’t cut it.

In Mark 9, we see a father who brings his demon-possessed son to Jesus. When the evil spirit sees Jesus, it reacts violently, throwing the boy into convulsions (Mark 9:20). This is a vivid reminder that the devil often reacts explosively when we attempt to lead others to Christ!

Despite the chaos, that father persevered, and Jesus delivered his son. Likewise, we must do everything in our power to bring others to Him. Sadly, I’ve encountered churches that preach a powerful message but never extend an invitation for salvation. These are the lukewarm congregations mentioned in Revelation. If this resonates with your church, don’t hesitate to speak up and ask why.

The mission of leading others to Jesus is so crucial that when pathways seem blocked, we can often create new ones. Seize those moments!

In Luke 5, we read about friends who brought a paralyzed man to Jesus. They encountered a blocked entrance, which would have been the usual way to enter. Instead of giving up, they climbed onto the roof and lowered him down through the tiles right in front of Jesus (Luke 5:19).

We often talk about “open and closed doors” in our lives. We might say, “I tried this or that, but the Lord didn’t open the door!” While the concept of open doors is biblical—Paul mentions it, and Jesus speaks of it in Revelation 3:8—it’s too easy to use a “closed door” as an excuse. If a door is shut, why not try the roof instead?

Biblical Application:

Recognize that obstacles, like closed doors, are a part of the journey when bringing others to Jesus. Be creative and persistent, seeking unconventional methods to reach those resistant to faith. Pray for guidance and invite others to experience Jesus through personal testimonies or church invitations. Trust in God’s sovereignty, knowing that while you can share and lead, the outcome is ultimately in His hands. Reflect on your own faith journey to inspire and encourage others, using your experiences to demonstrate the transformative power of Christ.

“Every obstacle in our journey to bring others to Christ is just an invitation to find a new way to share His love.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for Your boundless love. In the vastness of Your creation, You desire a personal relationship with me. You call me to share Your goodness with others. Grant me the mind of Christ, so I may see You and myself with clarity. I find comfort in Your grace and forgiveness, and I ask for the passion to share Your glory with those around me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

September 15th 2025 – Eutychus -The Original Falling Asleep in Church Story

Leave a reply

“On the first day of the week, we came together to break bread. Paul spoke to the people and, because he intended to leave the next day, kept talking until midnight. There were many lamps in the upstairs room where we were meeting. Seated in a window was a young man named Eutychus, who was sinking into a deep sleep as Paul talked on and on. When he was sound asleep, he fell to the ground from the third story and was picked up dead. Paul went down, threw himself on the young man and embraced him. ‘Don’t be alarmed,’ he said. ‘He’s alive!’ Then he went upstairs again and broke bread and ate. After talking until daylight, he left. The people took the young man home alive and were greatly comforted.” (Acts 20: 7-12)

In this passage, we encounter a powerful scene where Paul, filled with passion and purpose, delivers a lengthy sermon. His dedication to sharing the Gospel is evident, but it results in an unexpected tragedy when a young man named Eutychus falls from a window due to exhaustion.

Eutychus’s fall serves as a poignant reminder of the dangers of spiritual lethargy. In our busy lives, it’s easy to become weary, distracted, or disengaged from the teachings of Christ. Eutychus’s physical fall mirrors how we can spiritually “fall” when we neglect our need for rest, rejuvenation, and connection with God.

Despite the unfortunate incident, Paul’s response is remarkable. He doesn’t panic; instead, he goes down, embraces Eutychus, and brings him back to life. This act of revival is not only physical but symbolizes the spiritual awakening that can happen when we return to God. Paul’s actions remind us that compassion and community are essential in our faith journey. When someone is struggling, it’s our responsibility to reach out, offer support, and help them back to life—be it spiritually or emotionally.

Biblical Application:

  1. Stay Engaged: Like Eutychus, we must be mindful of how we engage with the Word of God. It’s easy to become distracted or tired, but we must prioritize our time with God and remain attentive. Seek out ways to enrich your spiritual journey, whether through study, worship, or fellowship.
  2. Embrace Community: Paul’s response to Eutychus illustrates the importance of community in our faith. We are not meant to walk this journey alone. Surround yourself with fellow believers who can encourage you, hold you accountable, and support you when you face challenges.
  3. Revival Through Compassion: Just as Paul brought Eutychus back to life, we too should strive to revive those around us—offering hope, love, and encouragement to those who feel lost or weary. Your compassion could be the light that leads someone back to life.
  4. Balance in Life: While it’s important to be passionate about our faith and commitments, it’s equally important to recognize our limits. Allow yourself times of rest and rejuvenation. Spiritual vitality often requires physical and emotional well-being.

“In the rhythm of faith, let us remain awake and engaged, for even in our weariness, we have the power to revive one another with compassion and grace.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for the example of Paul and the reminder of the importance of community and compassion. Help us to stay engaged with Your Word and to support one another in our faith journeys. Revive us when we feel weary and help us to be instruments of revival for others in our lives. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

September 13th 2025 – Predestined for Purpose

Leave a reply

“For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love, he predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will.” (Ephesians 1:4-5)

In a world that often feels chaotic and unpredictable, the concept of predestination offers profound comfort. Ephesians reminds us that before time began, God had a specific purpose for each of us. This is not simply a theological doctrine; it is a beautiful truth that speaks to our identity and belonging.

Imagine the depth of love that God has for us—He chose us! Each of us is a unique creation, intricately designed with gifts, talents, and destinies that reflect His glory. The idea of being “predestined for adoption” means that we are not just created beings; we are called into a family, into an intimate relationship with our Creator.

Our lives are not random; they are woven into a divine tapestry. Every struggle, joy, and moment of doubt is part of a larger plan. God sees the entirety of our lives and lovingly guides us toward His purpose. This is a source of hope, especially when we face challenges or feel lost.

Take a moment to reflect on what it means to be chosen by God. Consider the gifts and passions He has placed within you. How can you align these with His purpose for your life today? Allow this truth to inspire you as you move through your day. Remember, you are not just existing; you are living with purpose, predestined and loved by God.

“Embrace each day as a canvas, painting your dreams with the colors of hope and the strokes of perseverance.”

Prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for the beautiful truth that I am predestined for a purpose in You. Help me to embrace my identity as Your child and to trust in Your plan for my life. May I find peace in knowing that You have chosen me, and may I live out my days reflecting Your love and grace to those around me. Guide me in understanding my gifts and using them for Your glory. In Jesus’ name, In Jesus’ name, Amen.

September 9th 2025 – I Want to Hear Your Voice

Leave a reply

“My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.” (John 10:27)

In our journey of faith, there are moments when we yearn to hear the voice of God clearly. Yet, the cacophony of our own thoughts, fears, and even external influences can create confusion. We might wonder, “Is that the Holy Spirit speaking, or is it just my own mind?” In these moments, it’s crucial to take a step back and center ourselves.

Jesus reassures us that His sheep hear His voice. This promise reminds us that we are not alone in our quest for divine guidance. The key is to quiet the noise around and within us, allowing space for the Holy Spirit to communicate with clarity.

Take a few moments to sit in silence. Focus on your breath and allow the distractions to fade away. As you meditate, repeat the phrase, “Speak, Lord, I am listening.” Invite the Holy Spirit to fill the silence with His voice, guiding your thoughts and comforting your spirit.

Journal your thoughts and any impressions you receive during your quiet time. Reflect on how you can cultivate a deeper awareness of the Holy Spirit in your daily life. Consider setting aside specific times for prayer and meditation, creating a routine that fosters a closer relationship with God.

Remember, hearing God’s voice is often a process. Trust in His timing as you grow in your ability to discern His guidance.

“To hear the voice of the Holy Spirit, we must first quiet the noise within and around us, for His guidance often comes in the stillness of our hearts.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus, I come before You, seeking Your presence and guidance. I bind every demonic spirit that seeks to disrupt my thoughts and silence them in Jesus’ name. I command my thoughts, my will, and my emotions to be still right now. Holy Spirit, I invite You to speak to me. Open my heart and ears to hear Your voice above all others. Help me to discern Your truth amidst the confusion. I trust in Your promise that I am Your sheep and that I can hear You. Lead me, Lord, and I will follow. In Jesus’s name, Amen.

September 8th 2025 – Beware of False Teachers

Leave a reply

“As I urged you when I went into Macedonia – remain in Ephesus that you may charge some that they teach no other doctrine, nor give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which cause disputes rather than godly edification which is in faith.” (1 Timothy 1:3-4)

In the body of Christ, we must be vigilant in guarding ourselves against division and false teaching. These insidious elements can infiltrate the community of believers, leading not only to sin but also to a profound misunderstanding of God’s Word. Often, those who come forth with a “new way” or a “higher understanding” are, unfortunately, deceived. Their teachings hinge on human wisdom or even worse, evil motives. This is why the apostles repeatedly caution us against false teachers and erroneous doctrines throughout Scripture.

Many times, misguided teachings stem from individuals who wish to forge their own paths. They find themselves unsatisfied with God’s Word as the ultimate authority, opting instead to twist it or reject it altogether. We must not be lured into complacency by these dangerous ideas. To truly understand life, we need to seek guidance from the One who gave it. If we long to comprehend this world, we must cling tightly to the words of the Creator who formed it. Most importantly, if we wish to discover the way to forgiveness and eternal life, we have no choice but to embrace the Truth found in the Bible. Living by God’s Word, rather than our own understanding, brings us hope for this life and unending joy in the next.

“There is danger in living our lives by our own standards rather than God’s.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of Your Word. It is a treasure to be able to read and reflect on the very words You have given us. I ask that You guard my heart against the snare of false teachings and help me to remain steadfast in the Truth of Your Gospel. Grant me discernment to recognize teachings that stray from Your Word, and empower me to share Your message with confidence and clarity.

Lord, as I navigate through life’s complexities, help me to seek Your guidance above all else. May Your Spirit illuminate my path and lead me to a deeper understanding of Your will. I pray that I would be anchored in Your Truth, so I may stand firm against the winds of deception that seek to sway me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

September 3rd 2025 – Open My Eyes

Leave a reply

“Open my eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of your law.” (Psalm 119:18)

In the quiet moments of our lives, we often seek deeper understanding and clarity in our spiritual journey. Psalm 119:18 is a beautiful reminder of the importance of spiritual sight. The psalmist’s plea to God to “open my eyes” is not just a request for physical sight but a yearning for spiritual insight. As we immerse ourselves in God’s Word, we ask Him to reveal the wonders hidden within His teachings.

Imagine standing in a vast field of wildflowers. At first glance, they appear to be a simple collection of colors. But when you take a closer look, each flower has its unique shape, color, and fragrance, telling a story of God’s creativity and attention to detail. Similarly, when we ask God to open our eyes, we begin to see the richness of His law and the profound truths it holds.

  1. Seek God’s Wisdom: Begin each day by asking God to open your eyes to His truths. What messages does He want you to see in your life today? This simple prayer can transform your daily routine into a sacred journey.
  2. Embrace the Wondrous: As you read Scripture, look for the “wondrous things” the psalmist speaks of. Reflect on how these truths apply to your life. Allow God’s Word to challenge you, comfort you, and inspire you to grow.
  3. Share Your Insights: When you experience a revelation or a moment of clarity, share it with others. Your insights can encourage and uplift those around you, fostering a community of faith and understanding.

Take a moment of silence to reflect on this prayer. Consider writing down any insights or thoughts that come to mind as you ponder how God is opening your eyes to His truth today.

“Lord, open my eyes to the wonders of Your Word, that I may see the beauty in each moment and embrace the truths that guide my journey.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I come before You with a humble heart, asking that You open my eyes to the wonders of Your Word. Help me to see beyond the surface of my daily life and recognize the beauty of Your teachings. May Your wisdom guide my steps, and may I be a light to others as I share the insights You reveal to me. Thank You for Your love and for the gift of Your law. In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.

September 2nd 2025 – The Gift of Obedience

Leave a reply

“When the LORD first spoke to Hosea, He said to him, ‘Go, take for yourself an adulterous wife and children of unfaithfulness, because the land is guilty of the vilest adultery in departing from the LORD.’” (Hosea 1:2)

In our modern world, it’s common to hear Christians express sentiments like, “The Lord just wants me to be happy” or “God wouldn’t ask me to do anything beyond my strength.” Yet, when we delve deeper into Scripture, we see a different narrative. God often calls His people to undertake journeys that seem impossible, filled with challenges and sacrifices.

Take Hosea, for instance. He was commanded by God to marry a woman who would break his heart, a powerful symbol of God’s relationship with His unfaithful people. Consider Abraham, who faced the unfathomable task of sacrificing his beloved son, Isaac—his laughter, his joy, the embodiment of God’s promise. Then there’s Mary, honored as the most blessed among women, who stood at the foot of the cross, witnessing the agony of her Son. Each of these figures faced unique trials but shared a profound commitment to obedience, even in the face of deep suffering.

In Matthew 16:24-25, Jesus invites us to embrace a radical path: “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.” This call is not merely an invitation to happiness; it’s a call to transformation, a challenge to our very nature.

Jesus endured unimaginable suffering to liberate us from the chains of sin. His sacrifice was not for our fleeting happiness or to fulfill our selfish desires; it was to set us free and to provide a blueprint for living in that freedom. He exemplified how to love selflessly and to put others before ourselves, teaching us that true fulfillment lies in service and sacrifice.

Choosing to follow Christ is not always easy. It requires us to step beyond our comfort zones and embrace the messy, often painful reality of love and obedience. Yet, in doing so, we honor the incredible price He paid for our lives. Our obedience, then, becomes our gift back to Him—a testament to our faith and love.

“Obedience is not the absence of struggle, but the courage to embrace the journey, trusting that each step is a reflection of love and a gift back to the One who sacrificed everything for us.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, Thank You for the incredible love You have poured out on me, a love so profound that You endured a brutal death and the weight of my sins. Your sacrifice is a reminder of the depth of Your grace and mercy. As I reflect on Your journey, I choose to follow You, no matter where You lead me, because my heart is drawn to You in love.

Help me, Lord, to walk in obedience, even when the path is challenging and the sacrifices feel heavy. Grant me Your strength, fill me with Your power, and envelop me in Your love, so that I may willingly lay down my life for others. May my actions reflect the heart of Christ, bringing hope and light to those around me. In Jesus’s name, Amen.
