February 18th 2026 – The Good News

Leave a reply

Scripture Reference:

“For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing. Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.

So I find this law at work:  Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. For in my inner being I delight in God’s law; but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me. What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death? 25 Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord!” (Romans 7:18-25)

Reflection:

As I reflect on my journey before encountering Christ, I realize something profound: I had never truly heard the Gospel. Despite wandering through life, searching for meaning and fulfillment, I was unaware of the good news that awaited me. It wasn’t until I experienced a personal transformation that I began to understand the depth of the Gospel message.

The Void Within Us

We all share a void—a deep-seated separation from God, stemming from the fall in the Garden of Eden. We often try to fill this emptiness with various pursuits, but like many, I found no true satisfaction until I met Jesus. This void wasn’t just a feeling; it was a spiritual reality. Romans 7 reminds us that we are born into sin, and without Christ, we face eternal separation from our Creator. This truth is hard to swallow, yet it’s essential for understanding the incredible grace that follows.

The Good News of Jesus Christ

Here lies the beauty of the Gospel: Jesus Christ, God in the flesh, came to bridge that gap. He walked among us, faced our struggles, and ultimately took our place on the cross. He was crucified, buried, and three days later, He rose again, conquering sin, death, and the grave. This is the heart of the good news—our separation can be healed. Through faith in Him, repentance, and trust, we are forgiven and made new.

A Call to Share

Scriptural Seeds, this gift from God, is not mine but His. It exists solely to share this transformative message. I remember the early days of writing the the Seeds and the comments from people praising God for the good news I was sharing. But it made me realize how vital it is to proclaim this truth boldly. I was once disconnected from God, but now, I am connected through Christ, who lives in me—the hope of glory.

As believers, we are called to be servants of Jesus, to carry this message to the ends of the earth. Each of us has a purpose in spreading the Gospel, ensuring that as many as possible hear and respond to the good news.

“Imagine standing before Him one day. Will you know Him? This question drives me daily to share the good news. It compels me to live out my faith in a way that reflects His love and grace.”

“True transformation begins not in understanding the Gospel, but in experiencing the love of Christ that fills the void within us.”

Prayer:

Lord, thank You for the incredible gift of the Gospel, for the good news that brings hope, healing, and transformation. We are grateful that You sent Your Son to bridge the gap between us and You. Help us to recognize the voids in our own hearts and in those around us. May Your love fill us completely, driving us to share this message boldly with others.

Guide us in our conversations, that we may speak of Your grace and mercy with clarity and compassion. Give us the courage to step out of our comfort zones and be vessels of Your truth in a world that desperately needs it. Help us to reflect Your character in our daily lives, so that others may see You in us.

We pray for those who are still searching, who feel lost and disconnected. May they encounter Your love through our words and actions. Let our lives be testimonies of Your goodness and faithfulness. As we share the good news, may we trust in Your power to transform hearts and lives.

Thank You, Lord, for the hope we have in You. Until the day we stand before You, let us be faithful servants, proclaiming the good news and inviting others to know You. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.”

A New Beginning Awaits You!

Have you ever felt a longing in your heart for something more? Are you searching for peace, purpose, and true fulfillment? We invite you to discover the incredible love of Jesus Christ, who desires to be your Savior and guide.

Why Accept Jesus?

Forgiveness:
Lay down guilt and shame at the foot of the cross. In Christ, your past no longer defines you. His grace rewrites your story.
Connection:
Christianity isn’t about religion—it’s about relationship. Through Jesus, you step into a personal, daily walk with God who knows you, loves you, and walks with you.
Hope:
No matter the season—victory or valley—Jesus anchors your heart. He gives strength when you’re weak and purpose when you feel lost.
Salvation:
Through His death and resurrection, Jesus made a way for eternal life. Salvation isn’t earned; it’s received. It’s the gift of being restored to God now and forever.

February 11th 2026 – Who God Says You Are

2 Replies

Scripture Reference:

“But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.” (1 Peter 2:9)

Reflection:

In a world that often defines us by our achievements, failures, or even our past mistakes, it’s easy to lose sight of our true identity. But God invites us to look deeper, to see ourselves through His eyes.

You are not just a product of your circumstances. You are chosen. This means that before the foundation of the world, God set His affection on you. You are part of a royal lineage, a priesthood that serves not just to bring offerings, but to reflect His glory to the world.

Think about what it means to be God’s special possession. You are treasured, valued, and loved beyond measure. Your worth is not dictated by the fleeting opinions of others but by the eternal truth of who God says you are.

When moments of doubt creep in, remember that God has called you out of darkness. Your past does not define your future. Instead, He has brought you into His wonderful light—a light that reveals your true identity as a beloved child of God.

Reflection Questions:

  1. What messages from the world have you believed about yourself that contradict God’s truth?
  2. How can you remind yourself daily of who God says you are?
  3. In what ways can you declare His praises, reflecting the identity He has given you?

As you meditate on this devotion, let it transform your understanding of who you are. Embrace your identity in Christ, and let it guide your thoughts, actions, and relationships. You are deeply loved, uniquely created, and endlessly valuable.

“Your identity is not shaped by the shadows of your past, but by the light of God’s love that calls you His own.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for choosing me and for declaring my worth through Your unconditional love. I am grateful that I am not defined by my mistakes or the world’s opinions, but by the identity You have given me as Your beloved child. Help me to see myself through Your eyes, embracing the truth that I am a royal priesthood and a treasured possession.

Guide me in moments of doubt and insecurity, reminding me to reject the lies that seek to misdefine my worth. Fill my heart with confidence in Your promises, and let Your light shine brightly in my life. May I reflect Your love and grace to those around me, sharing the hope of who You say I am.

Lord, empower me to declare Your praises boldly, living each day in a way that honors You. Help me to encourage others to see their own identities in Christ, fostering a community that celebrates Your truth. Thank You for the gift of belonging to You. May I continually seek to understand and embrace the fullness of my identity in You. Amen.

Interested in a presonal relationship with Jesus?:

Have you ever felt a longing for purpose and belonging? A desire to break free from the weight of past mistakes and embrace a brighter future? The good news is that Jesus is waiting to welcome you with open arms.

He sees you not for what you’ve done, but for who you are—a beloved child of God. When you accept Him into your heart, you step into a new identity filled with hope, love, and grace.

February 5th 2026 – What Will Be The Sign?

Leave a reply

Scripture Reference:

As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. “Tell us,” they said, “when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?”

Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you. For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will deceive many.  You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of birth pains.

 “Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come. (Matthew 24:3-14)

Reflection:

The question posed by the disciples. “When will You come, and what will be the sign of Your coming?”—is one that resonates deeply with many believers today. In a world marked by chaos, uncertainty, and rapid change, it’s natural to seek clarity about the future. The longing for Jesus’ return has been a constant theme throughout Christian history. Each generation grapples with its own trials: wars, natural disasters, and moral decay. These experiences can create a sense of urgency and anxiety regarding the end times.

Jesus, in His wisdom, responds not with a detailed timeline but with profound insights that challenge us to reflect on our own faith and actions. He underscores the importance of being spiritually prepared, living out our faith actively, and remaining engaged in the world around us. Instead of focusing solely on the signs, Jesus calls us to a deeper relationship with Him, emphasizing endurance and the call to evangelize.

  1. Signs of the Times:
    Jesus outlines various events—wars, famines, and earthquakes—as indicators of His return. These signs are not merely to instill fear but to serve as reminders of the brokenness in our world and the need for redemption. Each event can be seen as an invitation to turn our hearts back to God, recognizing our dependence on Him amid turmoil.
  2. The Call to Endurance:
    In the face of adversity, Jesus emphasizes the necessity of endurance. He warns that many will falter in their faith, but those who remain steadfast will find salvation. This calls us to examine our own lives: Are we nurturing our faith? Are we surrounding ourselves with a community that encourages spiritual growth? Endurance is not passive; it requires active engagement in prayer, fellowship, and service.
  3. The Great Commission:
    Jesus’ command to spread the Gospel is a vital aspect of awaiting His return. Each of us is called to be a beacon of hope, sharing the message of Christ’s love and grace with those around us. In doing so, we participate in the fulfillment of God’s promise to bring salvation to all nations. This mission is both a privilege and a responsibility that shapes our daily lives.

As you go about your day, take moments to reflect on how you can be a sign of Christ’s love in the world. Consider practical ways to share the Gospel, support those in need, and engage in acts of kindness. Remember that while we await His return, we are called to be active participants in His mission, embodying hope, faith, and love.

Though the exact timing of Jesus’ return remains a mystery, we are called to live in anticipation, grounded in faith and purpose. Let us shine brightly as lights in the darkness, sharing the love of Christ until He comes again.

“In the midst of uncertainty and chaos, let your faith be the anchor that holds you firm, guiding your heart to hope and purpose as you await the promise of His return.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts filled with anticipation and longing for Your Son’s return. Thank You for the hope we have in Jesus, who not only came into our world but promised to return. We acknowledge the signs of the times and the chaos that surrounds us. Help us to see these not as reasons for fear, but as opportunities to deepen our faith and reliance on You.

Guide us to endure through trials and temptations, strengthening our resolve to live out our faith with courage and love. Fill us with Your Holy Spirit, empowering us to share the Good News with those who are lost and searching for hope. May we be instruments of Your peace in a world that desperately needs it. Help us to build community among fellow believers, encouraging one another in our journey of faith. As we await Your return, may our lives reflect Your love and grace. In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray. Amen.

January 12th 2026 – Strength in Weakness

Leave a reply

Scripture Reading:

Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me. (2 Corinthians 12:9)

Reflection:
In 2 Corinthians 12:1-10, the Apostle Paul shares a profound personal experience of being caught up to the third heaven. He recounts visions and revelations that he received, yet he emphasizes that he refrains from boasting about these experiences. Instead, he highlights a “thorn in the flesh” that serves as a constant reminder of his humanity and dependence on God.

Paul’s struggle with this thorn reveals a powerful truth: our weaknesses can be a channel for God’s strength. When Paul pleaded with the Lord three times to remove it, he received a response that echoes through the ages: “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness” (2 Corinthians 12:9).

Application:

  1. Embrace Your Weaknesses: Instead of hiding or resenting our weaknesses, let us acknowledge them as spaces where God’s grace shines the brightest. What struggles are you facing that remind you of your need for God?
  2. Rely on God’s Grace: Reflect on the times you’ve felt inadequate. How can you shift your focus from self-reliance to leaning on God’s strength? Remember, it is in our vulnerability that God often reveals His power.
  3. Share Your Story: Just as Paul shared his experiences, consider how your own stories of weakness and reliance on God can encourage others. Your testimony might be the hope someone else needs.

“I can do all this through him who gives me strength.” (Philippians 4:13)

Remember that God’s power is not only evident in our successes but is magnified in our shortcomings. Take heart in knowing that your weaknesses are not a barrier to your faith but a bridge to experiencing God’s incredible strength.

“In my weakness, I find the strength of Christ; each struggle reveals His grace, turning my limitations into a canvas for His glory.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, Thank You for the powerful reminder in Your Word that our weaknesses can be vessels for Your strength. We come before You with open hearts, acknowledging our struggles and the thorns that we carry. Help us to see these challenges not as burdens, but as opportunities to experience Your grace in profound ways.

Lord, we ask for the courage to embrace our limitations. Teach us to lean on You and trust in Your perfect plan. May we find comfort in knowing that Your grace is sufficient for us, especially in our times of need. Help us to surrender our desires for strength and success, and instead, seek to glorify You through our vulnerabilities.

As we navigate our daily lives, remind us of Paul’s example. Allow us to share our stories of reliance on You, encouraging others in their own journeys. May our testimonies of Your faithfulness shine brightly, reflecting Your love and power.

Thank You for the promise that Your power is made perfect in our weakness. Help us to boast in our struggles, knowing that it is through them that we become more like Christ. May we live each day in the assurance of Your presence, experiencing the fullness of Your grace. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

Invitation:

If you feel a stirring in your heart, a longing for something more, it may be God calling you into a deeper relationship with Him. Jesus invites you to experience His love, grace, and forgiveness. No matter your past or the burdens you carry, He is waiting with open arms, ready to welcome you into His family.

December 29th 2025 – The Lost Sheep and Christ’s Pursuit

Leave a reply

Scripture Reading:

“Then Jesus told them this parable: ‘Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, “Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.” I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.’” (Luke 15:3-7)

Reflection:

This parable of the lost sheep beautifully illustrates the heart of Jesus and His relentless pursuit of us. In a world filled with distractions, challenges, and the overwhelming noise of life, it’s easy to feel lost or forgotten. We often measure our worth by our achievements, social standing, or how others perceive us. Yet, this parable reminds us that in God’s eyes, our value is intrinsic and unconditional. Each of us is like that one lost sheep, and even if we stray from the flock, we are never beyond the reach of His love.

The shepherd, representing Christ, leaves the ninety-nine not because they are unimportant, but because His heart aches for the one that is lost. This story captures the essence of grace: that no matter how far we wander, we are pursued by a Savior who knows us by name. He doesn’t wait for us to find our way back; instead, He actively seeks us out, demonstrating a love that knows no bounds.

1. The Value of the Individual:
The shepherd had a hundred sheep, yet he took the time to search for the one that was lost. In our lives, we may feel like just one in a crowd, but Jesus shows us that we matter deeply to Him. Each of us has unique gifts, struggles, and stories that are significant. When we wander or feel lost, we are not overlooked; instead, Jesus actively seeks us out.

2. The Pursuit of Love:
Jesus’s pursuit is an act of love. He doesn’t wait for us to come back; He goes out to find us. This reveals His character as a loving Savior who cares for us deeply. Think about times when you felt distant from God. In those moments, He was there, reaching out to draw you back into His embrace.

3. Rejoicing in Restoration:
When the shepherd finds the lost sheep, he rejoices and celebrates. This mirrors the joy in heaven when a sinner repents and returns to God. It reminds us that no matter how far we stray, there is always a path back to grace. Jesus invites us to repentance, not with condemnation, but with open arms and joy.

Take a moment to reflect on a time when you felt lost. How did Jesus reach out to you? Consider how you can extend that same love and grace to others who may need to feel the warmth of His pursuit in their lives.

“Even in my wandering, I am never forgotten; for the heart of Christ relentlessly pursues me, reminding me that I am always cherished and welcomed home.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I come before You with a grateful heart, thankful for the love and grace that pursues me even when I wander away. Help me to recognize my worth in Your eyes, understanding that I am never too far gone to be reached by Your love. May I feel Your gentle presence guiding me back to You, especially during times of doubt or despair.

As I navigate the complexities of life, remind me that I am cherished and held close to Your heart. Help me to embrace the joy of being found and to share that joy with others who may feel lost. Instill in me a desire to reach out to those who are struggling, reflecting Your love and compassion.

Thank You for the promise of Your unwavering pursuit and the hope of restoration. May my life be a testimony to Your grace, and may I always return to You with a heart full of repentance, eager for Your embrace. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Are You Wandering and Lost?

In the midst of life’s challenges, do you feel like you’re straying from the path? Do you long for a sense of belonging and purpose? Just as the Good Shepherd seeks the one lost sheep, Jesus is actively pursuing you with love and grace. You are never too far gone to be found.

If you’re ready to turn to Him and accept His gift of salvation, we invite you to take a step toward a transformative relationship with Christ.

December 17th 2025 – From Bitterness to Blessing: Healing Through the Cross

Leave a reply

Scripture Reading:

“Now when they came to Marah, they could not drink the waters of Marah, for they were bitter. Therefore the name of it was called Marah. And the people complained against Moses, saying, ‘What shall we drink?’ So he cried out to the LORD, and the LORD showed him a tree. When he cast it into the waters, the waters were made sweet. There He made a statute and an ordinance for them. And there He tested them, and said, ‘If you diligently heed the voice of the LORD your God and do what is right in His sight, give ear to His commandments and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have brought on the Egyptians. For I am the LORD who heals you.’” (Exodus 15:23-26)

Reflection:

In the wilderness of Marah, the Israelites faced bitter waters, a reminder of the challenges we often encounter in life. Just like the people of Israel, we may find ourselves in situations that feel overwhelming, where our needs seem unmet, and despair begins to take root. But God, in His faithfulness, provided a solution through Moses—a tree that transformed the bitter waters into something sweet.

This tree is a beautiful foreshadowing of Jesus Christ, who would one day hang on a tree (the cross) for our sins and sicknesses.

“Who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose stripes you were healed.” (1 Peter 2:24)

In 1 Peter 2:24, we are reminded that Jesus bore our sins in His body on that tree, so we could live in righteousness and healing. When we cast our burdens upon Him, we experience a profound transformation—not just spiritually, but in every aspect of our lives: spirit, soul, and body.

Today, reflect on the tree of the cross. What burdens are you carrying? What areas of your life feel bitter? Bring them to Jesus. Allow Him to take your sins, your sicknesses, and your struggles. His sacrifice is not just a historical event; it is the source of our healing and wholeness.

Take a moment to meditate on the healing power of the cross in your life. Consider writing down your burdens and prayers, then symbolically place them at the foot of the cross, trusting in God’s promise of healing and restoration.

“In the shadow of the cross, my burdens transform into blessings, and the bitterness of life becomes the sweetness of His grace.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I come before You with a heart full of gratitude for the incredible sacrifice of Jesus on the cross. Thank You for the blood that was spilled—a blood that washes away my sins and brings healing to my body and soul. I acknowledge the bitterness in my life and the burdens I carry, whether they be from past mistakes, present struggles, or fears about the future. Lord, I cast these burdens upon You, knowing that You care for me deeply. Help me to release the pain and hurt that I have held onto for too long. May Your healing power flow over me like the sweet waters at Marah, transforming my wounds into wholeness. Teach me to trust in Your promises and to heed Your voice. I desire to live in the fullness of Your grace and mercy, experiencing healing not only for myself but also for those around me. As I keep my focus on You, may I be a vessel of Your love and healing in this world. Thank You for being my healer, my comforter, and my guide. I love You and will not take my eyes off You. In Jesus’ precious name, Amen.

December 14th 2025 – The Great Reveal: Answered in His Time

Leave a reply

Scripture Reading:

“Call to me, and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known.” (Jeremiah 33:3)

Reflection:
In the heart of Jeremiah 33:3 lies an extraordinary invitation from God, beckoning us to engage in a dialogue that transcends the ordinary. This verse encapsulates a divine promise that can ignite hope in our hearts, especially when we face uncertainty or trials.

When God says, “Call to me,” He is extending an invitation to intimacy. It’s an open door to share our burdens, fears, dreams, and questions. The beauty of this promise is not just in the act of calling but in the assurance that God will respond. He desires to reveal to us “great and hidden things.” These revelations may come in various forms—through Scripture, the wise counsel of a friend, or even in the quiet moments of reflection.

In our fast-paced lives, we often seek quick answers. Yet, God invites us into a process, a relationship where the journey of seeking Him becomes as important as the answers we receive. It’s in this pursuit that we discover deeper understanding, divine guidance, and the peace that surpasses all understanding.

During challenging times, this promise serves as a reminder that we are not alone. God sees our struggles and hears our cries. He is faithful to unveil insights that can lead to breakthroughs, not just in our circumstances but also in our spiritual growth.

Application:

  1. Set Aside Time for Prayer: Dedicate a specific time each day to call out to God. This could be in the morning, during a lunch break, or before bed. Use this time to express your thoughts, worries, and hopes.
  2. Listen for His Voice: After you pray, spend a few moments in silence, allowing God to speak to you. He may reveal insights through Scripture, a still small voice, or a sense of peace.
  3. Journaling: Write down your prayers and any revelations you receive. This practice can help you track how God answers and guides you over time, deepening your faith.
  4. Seek Community: Share your experiences with fellow believers. Their testimonies of God’s faithfulness can encourage you and deepen your understanding of His promises.
  5. Reflect on His Past Faithfulness: Consider times in your life when God has answered your prayers or provided guidance. Reflecting on these moments can strengthen your faith and encourage you to trust Him for future revelations.

As you embrace the promise of Jeremiah 33:3, remember that God’s revelations often come when we least expect them. Trust in His timing and be open to the ways He might answer your prayers. He longs to show you the great and mighty things that await those who diligently seek Him. The journey of seeking is just as important as the destination, leading us closer to His heart.

“In the sacred act of calling on God, we unlock the door to divine revelations—great and hidden truths that transform our hearts and guide our paths, reminding us that we are never alone in our journey.”

Prayer:
Heavenly Father, I come before You with a heart full of gratitude for the incredible promise found in Jeremiah 33:3. Thank You for inviting me into a relationship where I can call upon You freely. In moments of doubt and uncertainty, help me to remember that You are always listening and ready to respond.

As I seek You, open my heart to receive the great and hidden things You wish to reveal. Teach me to trust in Your perfect timing, knowing that the answers may not always come when I expect them, but they will come when I need them most. Grant me the patience to wait for Your voice and the wisdom to discern it amidst the noise of this world.

Help me to remain steadfast in my prayers, even when I may feel discouraged. Surround me with a community of believers who can encourage and uplift me, reminding me of Your faithfulness. May I be a source of light to others, sharing the revelations You give me and pointing them to Your truth. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

December 7th 2025 – Unfailing Love: Embracing God’s Mercy and Grace

Leave a reply

Scripture Reading:

“But you, O Lord, are a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness.” (Psalm 86:15)

Reflection:

In Psalm 86, David pours out his heart to God, recognizing His divine attributes. Verse 15 stands as a powerful reminder of the nature of our Lord. As we reflect on this verse, we can find great comfort in knowing that God is not only merciful and gracious, but He is also patient and overflowing with love and faithfulness.

Think about what it means for God to be merciful and gracious. Mercy is the compassion we receive when we deserve punishment; grace is the unmerited favor that gives us blessings we don’t deserve. In moments of weakness, failure, or despair, God does not turn away. Instead, He draws near, offering forgiveness and a fresh start. How often do we struggle with self-judgment, forgetting that God’s view of us is colored by His infinite mercy?

The phrase “slow to anger” is particularly poignant. In a world where anger can flare up quickly and relationships can be strained, God’s patience offers a stark contrast. His love does not waver in the face of our shortcomings. When we stumble, He does not abandon us. Instead, He waits with open arms, ready to restore and heal.

“Abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness” speaks to the very essence of God’s character. His love is not fleeting; it is steadfast, unwavering through every season of life. It reminds us that even when we feel unworthy, God remains faithful. His promises are sure, and His commitment to us is everlasting.

Take a moment to sit in silence and reflect on God’s mercy in your life. Consider areas where you might need to extend grace to yourself or others. Let the truth of His steadfast love wash over you, renewing your spirit and empowering you to share that love with those around you.

“Embracing God’s mercy allows us to see our worth beyond our failures, reminding us that His steadfast love transforms our hearts and empowers us to extend grace to others.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I come before You with a grateful heart, acknowledging Your incredible mercy and grace. Thank You for loving me unconditionally, even when I stumble and fall short. Help me to truly understand the depth of Your patience, knowing that You are slow to anger and always ready to forgive.

As I navigate the challenges of life, remind me of Your steadfast love that never wavers. In moments of doubt or despair, help me to lean on Your faithfulness and trust in Your promises. Teach me to extend the same grace to myself that You so freely offer, allowing me to let go of guilt and shame.

Lord, give me the strength to mirror Your love in my relationships. Help me to be quick to forgive and slow to judge, reflecting Your character in my interactions with others. May I be a vessel of Your mercy, bringing hope and healing to those around me.

I pray that Your love fills my heart to overflowing, so that I may share it generously with others. Thank You for being my anchor in times of trouble and my joy in times of peace. In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.

November 25th 2025 – The Inner Battle of Faith

Leave a reply

Scripture Reading:

“I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do… So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me.” (Romans 7:15-20)

Reflection:

As we walk the path of faith, it’s essential to recognize that our journey with Jesus is not just a series of joyous moments or a collection of uplifting experiences. It’s a profound and often tumultuous inner battle. When we say “yes” to God, we enter a spiritual war—one that rages within our hearts and minds.

The Surrendering Process
Surrendering to God is not a magical solution that erases our struggles overnight. Instead, it’s an intentional decision that opens us up to His transformative power. In this process, God comforts us, but He also confronts us. He exposes the parts of ourselves that need healing and the habits that must die. This confrontation may feel uncomfortable, but it is essential for growth.

The Reality of Our Walk
This walk isn’t merely about attending church, sharing inspirational quotes, or participating in community gatherings. It is about the daily decision to die to our flesh and its desires. It’s about standing firm when storms of life threaten to shake our faith.

When we face trials, we may feel alone, but remember: the promise of God is that we are never truly alone. He walks with us through every battle, even when it feels like we are standing in the dark, unsure of the outcome.

Faith Through the Struggles
Some days will indeed be exhausting. We may find ourselves questioning our strength and resolve. However, in these moments of doubt, God calls us to have faith, even when the path ahead is unclear. He invites us to rise again, even when we stumble and no one else sees our fall.

Moreover, true faith often requires us to forgive those who have wronged us, even when apologies are never given. This act of forgiveness is a powerful declaration of our faith and reliance on God’s grace.

God’s Assurance
While the journey may not be easy, we can take comfort in God’s promise: He will never leave us nor forsake us. The battle may be fierce, but the victory belongs to Him.

As you reflect on this teaching, remember that every struggle is a reminder of God’s unwavering love and the strength He provides. Embrace the journey, knowing that He walks beside you, equipping you for the battles within.

“Embracing the inner battle of faith means recognizing that every struggle is not a setback, but a step toward transformation, where surrender leads to strength, and grace empowers us to rise again.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for being my constant companion in this journey of faith. I come before You, acknowledging the battles that rage within me—the struggles, doubts, and fears that often feel overwhelming. Help me to embrace these challenges as opportunities for growth and transformation in Your love.

Lord, as I surrender my will to You, grant me the strength to face the parts of myself that need healing. Shine Your light into the dark corners of my heart, revealing the areas that require change. Help me to let go of the habits and thoughts that hinder my walk with You and to embrace the new life You offer.

When the storms of life hit, remind me to stand firm in my faith, trusting that You are my anchor. Help me to rise again when I stumble, even when it feels like no one notices my struggle. May I find comfort in Your presence and in the truth that I am never alone.

Teach me, Lord, to forgive those who have wronged me, even when it feels impossible. Fill my heart with Your grace so that I may extend that same grace to others. In moments of exhaustion, remind me of Your promise that You will never leave me nor forsake me.

Thank You for the hope that sustains me and the love that surrounds me. I trust in Your plan for my life and lean on Your strength for every battle I face. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

November 22nd 2025 – The Nail on the Wall: A Modern Parable

Leave a reply

Scripture Reading:

“But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.” (1 John 1:7)

Reflection:

Today’s lesson centers on story of a homeowner and a persistent buyer. It illustrates a powerful spiritual truth: even the smallest compromise can give the enemy a foothold in our lives.

The devil doesn’t need your whole house—one single nail is enough. This story explains it better than a thousand sermons.

The Story:

There was once a man who owned a beautiful home. One day, a very persistent buyer tried to purchase it from him. He offered money, favors—everything imaginable—but the owner refused. The house meant far too much to him.

But a few days later, the buyer returned with a strange request.

“I don’t want to buy the whole house,” he said. “I only want to purchase a single nail on the wall of your living room.”

Confused, the owner thought it was harmless, so he agreed.

Weeks passed. Then one day the buyer returned, carrying something horrifying: a rotting carcass. He hung it on the nail in the living room. Outraged, the owner demanded that he remove it.

But the buyer replied, “That nail is mine. I can hang whatever I want on it.”

Over time, the stench filled the entire home. Flies swarmed. Decay spread. The sickness of it all became unbearable—until the owner finally abandoned his own house.

The Lesson:

This is exactly how the enemy works. He doesn’t need your entire life—just the one space you are willing to surrender.
One open door, one excuse, one resentment you refuse to forgive.
One sin you may continue to justify.

Slowly, what seemed harmless begins to contaminate everything.

If there is anything in your life that you know isn’t right, don’t leave it hanging on the nail. Surrender it to God. The enemy may be satisfied with owning one nail, but God wants to restore the entire house.

Scripture warns us: “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.”
(1 Peter 5:8)

No area of our lives is too small to surrender to God. Just as the owner should have refused to sell even a single nail, we must guard every part of our hearts.

If you’re holding onto anything that isn’t right, don’t let it dangle there—give it to God. He desires to cleanse, restore, and fill every corner of your life with His light.

“One nail surrendered to darkness can poison the whole house, but one heart surrendered to Jesus can redeem every room.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, Thank You for the precious gift of life, and for the home You have created within our hearts through Your Spirit. Thank You for Your grace that covers us and Your mercy that meets us daily. Lord, today we come before You with humility, asking You to search us and reveal any place in our lives where the enemy may be trying to gain a foothold.

Show us the “nails on the wall”—the compromises we’ve justified, the sins we have excused, the wounds we’ve held onto, the doors we’ve left cracked open. Give us the courage to surrender these areas fully to You, even when they feel small, familiar, or difficult to release.

We ask that You cleanse us from anything that brings decay to our spiritual homes. Remove every trace of bitterness, unforgiveness, fear, pride, addiction, temptation, and hidden sin. Wash us in the blood of Jesus, and purify every corner of our hearts so that nothing remains that does not honor You.

Fill us instead with Your presence, Your peace, and Your holiness. Let our hearts be a dwelling place for Your glory—a home where Your Spirit rests, where Your Word abides, and where Your light shines without obstruction.

Strengthen us to resist the enemy and close every door that leads to destruction. Help us to remain vigilant, discerning, and anchored in Your truth. And when we are weak, remind us that Your strength is made perfect in our weakness.

Restore what has been broken, renew what has been worn down, and rebuild what we have abandoned. Make us whole again, Lord—from foundation to rooftop.

We give You the entire house, not just a room, not just a wall—every nail and every corner belongs to You. In the mighty name of Jesus we pray, Amen.
