November 16th 2025 – Awake and Arise

Leave a reply

Scripture Reading:

“For the light makes everything visible. This is why it is said, ‘Awake, O sleeper, rise up from the dead, and Christ will give you light.’ So be careful how you live. Don’t live like fools, but like those who are wise. Make the most of every opportunity in these evil days.” (Ephesians 5:14-16)

Reflection:

In our fast-paced, ever-changing world, it’s easy to become distracted by the noise around us. Have you ever taken a moment to reflect on your direction, both physically and spiritually? Look down—where do your feet point? What about your eyes and nose? Hopefully, you can say ‘forward.’ This simple act of reflection reveals a profound truth: God urges us to awaken from our slumber and step into the light that He offers.

Picture yourself standing and taking two confident steps forward. It feels good, doesn’t it? Now, without looking, take three steps backward. Feels awkward, right? That discomfort illustrates a vital point: God has uniquely designed us to progress, to advance in our journey with Christ. The Apostle Paul encourages us to embrace this forward momentum as essential for our spiritual growth.

“No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us.” (Philippians 3:13-14)

In the original Greek, this verse emphasizes the urgency of our focus: “Brothers and Sisters, I do not count myself to have apprehended but one thing.” God invites us to release the burdens of unforgiveness and regret, whether they stem from yesterday, last week, or even moments ago.

So, when does your Battleground Road transform into a Road of Victory? The answer lies in your perspective. Shift your focus away from pain, past mistakes, and unmet expectations. Instead, direct your gaze toward the blessings in your life, the goodness of the Lord, and the promises of His Word. Embrace the truth that God has a beautiful plan for your future, one that flourishes as we step into it with faith and courage.

“And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.” (Philippians 4:8)

Let’s commit to focusing on the good, the heavenly, and the eternal. In a time when negativity often dominates the conversation, we can choose to be beacons of light, illuminating the path for ourselves and others.

“Awakening to the light of Christ means letting go of the shadows of our past and stepping boldly into the blessings of today, for each moment forward is a chance to embrace the divine purpose set before us.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I come before You with a heart full of gratitude for the gift of this day and for the promise of new beginnings. Thank You for Your unwavering love and for the light that guides my path. Forgive me for the moments I have allowed distractions and doubts to take my focus off of You. Help me to release the burdens of my past—my regrets, my unforgiveness, and my fears. Teach me to trust in Your grace and to embrace the freedom that comes from repentance.

Lord, as I seek to move forward, fill my heart with hope and strength. Remind me daily of the blessings You have poured into my life and the beautiful plans You have in store for me. Help me to recognize the opportunities around me to share Your love and light with others, even in the darkest of times. May my thoughts be anchored in what is true, honorable, and worthy of praise, allowing Your peace to reign in my heart.

As I press on toward the calling You have placed on my life, grant me the courage to step boldly into the future You have planned. Help me to be a reflection of Your love and grace, shining brightly in a world that desperately needs Your light. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

September 24th 2025 – Testimony of Life

1 Reply

“And when Baal-Hanan died, Hadad reigned in his place; and the name of his city was Pai. His wife’s name was Mehetabel the daughter of Matred, the daughter of Mezahab. Hadad died also. And the chiefs of Edom were Chief Timnah, Chief Aliah, Chief Jetheth, Chief Aholibamah, Chief Elah, Chief Pinon, Chief Kenaz, Chief Teman, Chief Mibzar, Chief Magdiel, and Chief Iram. These were the chiefs of Edom.” (1 Chronicles 1:50-54)

Reflecting on where you started and the journey you’re on shapes your unique testimony. Each of our lives is a story filled with experiences, challenges, and triumphs that demonstrate God’s grace. Revelation 12 reminds us that believers overcome through “the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony.”

Even if your background doesn’t include dramatic struggles or heartbreak, it’s important to remember that we all were once lost. The Bible teaches us that without Christ, we were all sentenced to death because of our sins. But through Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross, we receive the incredible gift of salvation. By His grace, we are transformed into children of God, and just like Jesus, we are called to be both priests and kings in His kingdom. This is a profound identity that carries with it the promise of eternal life with our Creator.

In a world filled with fear and uncertainty, your testimony holds incredible power. People around you are longing for hope and truth, and your story could be the light they need. Share your experiences not from a place of pride, but from the joy that comes from a heart transformed by Jesus. You never know how your words might resonate with someone who is searching for answers and healing.

“Remember where you came from, who you are, and where you are going.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I come before You with a heart full of gratitude and praise. Thank You for the immeasurable gift of Your Son, Jesus. I am deeply thankful for the grace and mercy You have poured into my life. Lord, I desire to be a vessel for Your glory. Please grant me the courage to share my testimony freely and boldly, without fear or hesitation. Help me to speak from a place of humility and love, so that I may touch the lives of others and lead them closer to You. May my words be filled with Your Spirit, bringing hope and encouragement to those who hear them. Guide me as I walk this journey, always reminding me of where I came from and the incredible future You have prepared for me. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

September 11th 2025 – Standing Against Injustice and Hatred

1 Reply

“You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden.” (Matthew 5:13-16)

With the unfortunate situation reguarding the politically motivated assassination of Charlie Kirk, on Wednesday September 10th 2025. It’s easy to feel anger and overwhelmed by the injustice and political hatred that surrounds us. As a Christian himself, Charlie was an example of how to stand up share his faith, and defend it biblically and with love and compassion.

When I first heard the news of the shooting, I immediately tuned in and watched the story unfold on YouTube. Without hesitation, I began praying for him and his family. Shortly afterward, I learned that he had not survived.

The first wave of emotions I felt was grief for his family, followed quickly by anger at the state of the world. As I scrolled through different stories and posts, I came across people publicly commenting with joy and no remorse about what had happened. That sight filled me with deep frustration—how could anyone celebrate such evil?

In that moment, I asked myself: Am I, are we, wrong to feel this way when confronted with such hate? Especially as Christians, who are called to live according to the teachings of Jesus, it’s a issue that weighs heavily on the heart.

The question arises: are we meant to sit back and simply tolerate these injustices, or does our faith call us to action? Jesus’ teachings challenge us to be more than bystanders—they call us to be active participants in shaping the world around us. When He declares that we are the “salt of the earth” and the “light of the world,” He reminds us of our responsibility to influence, preserve, and guide. Salt preserves what is good and resists decay. Light pierces the darkness and reveals truth. As followers of Christ, we are called to embody these qualities, standing firmly against evil and shining God’s love into the brokenness of our communities.

As we navigate these turbulent times, let us remember that our faith calls us not to passivity but to active engagement, reflecting the heart of Christ in all we do. However have listed scripture from the Holy Bible teaches us how God responds to the evil we are witnessing.

  1. Isaiah 10:1-2 “Woe to those who make unjust laws, to those who issue oppressive decrees, to deprive the poor of their rights and withhold justice from the oppressed of my people, making widows their prey and robbing the fatherless.”
  2. Amos 5:24 “But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream!”
  3. Psalm 82:3-4 “Defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed. Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked.”
  4. Psalm 82:3-4 “Defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed. Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked.”

These verses illustrate God’s concern for justice and His anger towards those who perpetuate inequality and oppression.

“God’s heart beats for justice; He stands fiercely against oppression, igniting a fire within us to uphold the dignity of every soul.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for calling us to be the salt and light in this world. Help us to stand firm against injustice and hatred with love and compassion. Grant us the courage to speak out and offer protection for those who cannot do so for themselves and to act in ways that reflect Your message. May we be guided by Your wisdom as we navigate the challenges that we are facing in the United States. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

Charlie Kirk

(Oct 14, 1993–Sept 10, 2025)

Special Prayer:

Heavenly Father, We come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up the family of Charlie Kirk and the community he so passionately served. In this time of sorrow, we ask for Your comforting presence to surround them. May they feel Your love enveloping them, bringing peace in the midst of pain.

Lord, we thank You for Charlie’s dedication and the light he brought into the lives of those around him. His commitment to his beliefs and his community is a testament to the impact one person can have. As his family navigates this difficult journey of loss, grant them strength and solace. May they find comfort in cherished memories and the legacy of love and service he leaves behind.

We also pray for the community that has been touched by his life. Heal the wounds of grief and division, and help them come together in unity and support. May Charlie’s spirit inspire them to continue his work, fostering kindness, understanding, and compassion among one another.

Lord, as they grieve, may they also celebrate the joy of having known him. Let Your healing touch restore their hearts, guiding them toward hope and renewal. Surround them with friends, family, and neighbors who will walk alongside them in this journey.

In Your infinite mercy, we ask for peace and healing for all who mourn. May Your love shine brightly in their lives, reminding them that they are never alone. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

Embrace the transformative journey of surrendering your life to Jesus. By inviting Him into your heart, you open yourself to a love that transcends understanding and a life filled with hope and healing.

September 6th 2025 – I Trust You Jesus

Leave a reply

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding.” (Proverbs 3:5-6)

In a world filled with uncertainty and chaos, the invitation to trust in Jesus stands as a beacon of hope. Proverbs 3:5–6 reminds us to trust in Jesus with all our heart and not to depend on our understanding ot the situation. These words resonate deeply, encouraging us to release the burdens we often carry and to lean into His wisdom rather than our limited perspectives.

Trusting Jesus means surrendering our need for control and allowing Him to guide our steps ahead. It’s easy to look back, to dwell on past mistakes or missed opportunities, but Jesus calls us to look forward with faith. John 14:1 reassures us, “Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me.” In moments of doubt or fear, we can find peace in His presence, knowing that He holds our future.

Faith is not merely an intellectual agreement; it’s a profound relationship built on trust. As Galatians 2:16 states, “Yet we know that a person is made right with God by faith in Jesus Christ.” This faith liberates us from the weight of the law and invites us into a life defined by grace. When we put our trust in Him, we are made right with God, not by our own efforts, but through His unending love.

Consider the areas of your life where you may be struggling to trust Jesus completely. What fears or doubts are holding you back? Take a moment to pray, inviting God to strengthen your faith and to help you release those burdens.

As you go about your day, remember that trusting Jesus is a daily choice. Each step forward is an opportunity to embrace His guidance and to leave behind what weighs you down. In Him, you can find strength, hope, and a future filled with promise. Trust in the Lord, for He is faithful!

“Trusting in Jesus means embracing the unknown with faith, knowing that every step I take is guided by His unwavering love.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, As I come before You today, I want to thank You for Your unwavering presence in my life. I acknowledge that trusting You fully can be a challenge, especially when the path ahead seems unclear. Yet, I am reminded of Your promises and the assurance that You have a plan for me. Help me to let go of my fears and anxieties, and to place my trust in You completely.

Lord, I pray for the strength to surrender my understanding and to lean solely on Your wisdom. Teach me to seek Your will in every aspect of my life—my relationships, my work, and my dreams. May I find comfort in knowing that You are guiding my steps, even when I cannot see the way forward.

I ask for Your peace to fill my heart, especially during times of uncertainty. Remind me that I do not have to carry my burdens alone; I can lay them at Your feet. Help me to trust that You are always working for my good, even when circumstances seem overwhelming.

As I navigate the challenges of life, may I be a reflection of Your love and grace to those around me. Equip me to encourage others to trust in You, just as I am learning to do. Let my faith be a testament to Your goodness and faithfulness.

Thank You, Lord, for the gift of faith in Jesus Christ, through whom I am made right with You. Help me to remember that my worth is not defined by my achievements or failures, but by Your unconditional love.

In moments of doubt, remind me of Your promise, that I should not let my heart be troubled. Instead, let me find peace in trusting You and in Your perfect plan for my life.

I place my trust in You today and every day, knowing that You are with me every step of the way. Thank You for loving me, guiding me, and for the hope I have in You. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

August 13th 2025 – Fruit of the Spirit – Part 1 of 9

Leave a reply

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things, there is no law.” (Galatians 5:22-23)

The term “Fruit of the Spirit” encapsulates the nine essential attributes that should define a genuine Christian life. These attributes—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control—are not simply individual traits to be selected at will. Instead, they collectively represent the singular fruit that characterizes those who truly walk in the Holy Spirit. Every Christian is called to embody these qualities as a testament to their journey with Jesus Christ.

The fruit of the Spirit serves as a tangible reflection of a believer’s transformed life. To grow in our faith, it’s crucial to explore and embrace these nine attributes:

Over the next eight days, we will dive into the Nine Biblical Attributes of the Fruit of the Spirit. Let’s start with the first: Love.

Love

“We know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them.” (1 John 4:16)

In our relationship with Jesus Christ, our ultimate aim should be to act in love. As stated in 1 Corinthians 13:4-8, “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.”

Fruit of the Spirit = Visible Growth in Jesus Christ

“In every act of love, we reflect the heart of God; it is through love that we uncover the true essence of our faith.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I invite you into my heart. While I await the day I can be with you, I thank you for making your home within me through the Holy Spirit. I am grateful for your love and the gift of love you’ve bestowed upon me. The true essence of love can only flourish through the presence of Your Holy Spirit in my life. I love You, Lord. In Jesus’ name, I thank you and praise you. Amen.

August 12th 2025 – I Surrender

1 Reply

“Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” (James 4:7)


Surrendering is often viewed as a sign of weakness, but in the Christian faith, it is a profound act of strength. To surrender means to relinquish control, to yield our will to God’s purpose, and to trust in His wisdom and love. When we say, “I surrender,” we are choosing to place our lives, our struggles, and our dreams in the hands of our Creator.

Consider the life of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane. In His moment of anguish, He prayed, “Not my will, but yours be done.” This was a surrender not just to suffering but to the divine plan that would lead to redemption. When we surrender, we align ourselves with God’s desires rather than clinging to our own.

What Does It Truly Mean to Surrender?

  1. Trust: Surrendering means trusting God even when the path is unclear. It’s acknowledging that His plans are greater than our understanding.
  2. Letting Go of Control: It’s about releasing the tight grip we often hold on our lives, recognizing that we cannot foresee every twist and turn. In surrender, we find freedom.
  3. Seeking His Will: True surrender involves seeking God’s will over our own. It’s a daily commitment to align our desires with His purpose.
  4. Embracing Peace: When we surrender, we open ourselves to the peace that surpasses all understanding. We can let go of anxiety and fear, knowing that God is in control.

Surrender is not a one-time event; it’s a continuous journey of faith. Each day, we are called to lay down our burdens and trust God’s path for us. As we surrender, we discover the depth of His love and the beauty of living in His grace.

“To surrender is to place our hearts in the hands of the One who knows our every dream and fear, trusting that His plans will lead us to a peace far beyond our understanding.”

Prayer:
Heavenly Father, I come before You, weary and burdened. I choose to surrender my life into Your hands. Help me to trust in Your plans, to let go of my need for control, and to seek Your will above all else. Fill my heart with Your peace as I walk this journey of faith. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

When you welcome Him as your Savior, you open your heart to hope, healing, and a love that surpasses all understanding. Click here  to explore how surrendering to Him can lead you to a life of peace and fulfillment!
