March 27th 2025 – Sharing Jesus in a Lost and Hateful World

1 Reply

“Did I commit sin in humbling myself that you might be exalted, because I preached the gospel of God to you free of charge?” (2 Corinthians 11:7)

Imagine having the apostle Paul as your pastor. He’s often viewed as the “ideal pastor,” beloved by all, yet 2 Corinthians 11 reveals a different reality. In this poignant chapter, Paul finds himself defending his ministry against those within the church who question his motives.

Some in the Corinthian church accused Paul of seeking monetary gain, despite his choice to preach without charge. Others regarded him as a lesser teacher simply because he didn’t solicit financial support. Ultimately, Paul faced an uphill battle. Why did he refrain from accepting funds? Because the congregation projected an unwillingness to give, portraying themselves as unable or undeserving of contributing. They missed a transformative opportunity to support Paul’s ministry and share in its blessings due to their selfishness. Yet, Paul continued to love them deeply, striving to speak the Truth in love, hoping they would eventually recognize it.

Our own lives mirror this experience. There are moments when we share the Truth in love, and it may fall on deaf ears. But even when others resist, we must persist in love, allowing the Lord to use our gentle witness to create lasting change in their lives.

“Some people won’t hear; some won’t recognize the sacrifice and gift; some may slander you while others may wish to harm you. Yet, don’t stop trying, for some will hear and be transformed.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I find myself struggling with certain individuals in my life. No matter how much love I extend, they leave me questioning why. Help me to be a true reflection of Your love to them. Grant me opportunities to share the truth with grace, remaining sensitive and patient as Your Holy Spirit works. If I am part of the challenge, please make me aware, so I can bring it to You. Thank You for allowing me to serve in this ministry without seeking compensation or donations. I am grateful to support others with what I’ve earned through hard work. Lord, open their eyes to see that blessings are gifts, not entitlements. Thank You for sustaining me through trials when I face negativity, judgment, or attacks for sharing Your truth in love. Please continue to bless me with a job that fulfills me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

God has made it possible for you to know Him and experience an amazing change in your own life. Please read the prayer below to ask Jesus into your life!.

Jesus,

I know I haven’t been living for You, but I want that to change. I need You in my life. I believe that You died on the cross to pay for my sins, and I ask for Your forgiveness. Come into my heart, Lord—be my King, my Savior, and my guide. From this day forward, I choose to follow You. My life is in Your hands.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.

July 9th 2023 – God’s Compassion and Power to Heal

Leave a reply

Today, let’s reflect on the profound gift of healing that our Lord has bestowed upon us. Throughout the pages of the Bible, we witness countless examples of God’s compassion and power to heal the brokenness in our lives. It is through His grace and love that we find restoration, both in body and spirit.

Isaiah 53:5 – “But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.”

In the book of Isaiah, we are reminded that it is the Lord who heals our diseases and binds up our wounds. His divine touch brings forth miraculous healing, mending the deepest pains and restoring us to wholeness. It is through His Son, Jesus Christ, that we find ultimate healing, for He bore our sins and infirmities on the cross, offering us redemption and eternal life.

As followers of Christ, we are called to not only seek healing for ourselves but to also become vessels of His healing for others. We are encouraged to extend the love and compassion of Jesus to those who are hurting and broken, just as He did during His earthly ministry. Through prayer, laying on of hands, and speaking words of encouragement, we have the privilege to participate in the healing work of our Lord.

However, we must also recognize that healing does not always occur in the way we expect or desire. Sometimes, physical ailments persist, emotional wounds linger, and the answers to our prayers seem elusive. In these moments, we are called to trust in God’s sovereignty and wisdom. He alone knows what is best for us, and He promises to be with us in every season of life.

Even if complete physical healing is not granted in this earthly realm, we can find solace in the spiritual healing that God offers. His grace is sufficient to carry us through any affliction, providing comfort, peace, and strength. Through our trials, we are refined and transformed, drawing closer to God and becoming more like His Son, Jesus Christ.

Let us also remember that healing extends beyond the physical realm. Our souls require healing from the wounds of sin, guilt, and shame. It is through the power of Christ’s sacrifice and forgiveness that we find true spiritual healing. As we surrender our brokenness to Him, He washes away our sins and fills us with His perfect love and peace.

Today, let us approach the throne of grace with faith and confidence, seeking God’s healing touch in our lives. Whether it be physical, emotional, or spiritual healing, we can trust that our Heavenly Father hears our prayers and responds according to His perfect will. Let us also strive to be instruments of His healing, bringing hope and restoration to those around us.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, We come before you today, seeking your healing touch in our lives. We lay our burdens and ailments at your feet, trusting in your power to restore and renew us. Lord, we believe that you are the Great Physician, capable of healing every affliction, both physical and spiritual.

In the name of Jesus, we ask for your healing presence to flow through our bodies, bringing strength, comfort, and restoration. Touch every area of pain, sickness, and disease, and replace it with your divine health. We declare that by your stripes, we are healed.

Lord, we also ask for emotional and spiritual healing. Mend the brokenness within our hearts and minds, and bring peace and wholeness to our souls. Heal us from the wounds of the past, and fill us with your love, joy, and peace that surpasses all understanding.

We pray not only for ourselves but also for those around us who are in need of healing. Reach out your hand and touch them with your grace and mercy. Use us as instruments of your healing, that we may bring hope and comfort to those who are hurting.

As we await your healing touch, grant us patience, faith, and trust in your perfect timing. Help us to surrender our worries and fears, knowing that you are in control and have a plan for our lives. May your will be done, and may your healing power be manifest in our lives for your glory.

In Jesus’ holy and precious name, we pray. Amen.

If you have never experienced the love of God through a relationship with Jesus then come to Him today. He will never turn you away.

December 7th 2018 – Sometimes God Says No…

Leave a reply

“Now David said, “Solomon my son is young and inexperienced, and the house to be built for the Lord must be exceedingly magnificent, famous and glorious throughout all countries. I will now make preparation for it.” So David made abundant preparations before his death.” (1 Chronicles 22:5)

This is such an important ministry lesson. David, one of the greatest kings and one of the greatest leaders of Israel, asks God to allow him to build the temple, but God told him “No”

Nobody wants to be told “No”. David proves the greatness of his leadership by setting aside his wants and begins to help. Instead of complaining, David begins to prepare so Solomon can build the temple.

Sometimes, God says “No” Sometimes, though we have the grandest of plans and the purest of hearts, God says “No” to our plans. What should we do then? Should we grumble and whine? Of course not! God wants us to help one another to build His kingdom. We should take joy in helping those who God has chosen. Kingdom builder’s work together in the roles God has uniquely gifted to each, and by such, live up to their God-given utmost potential… And God smiles.

“We are to help others build the kingdom of God as well. Kingdom builders are not concerned with who gets to do what; just that it is getting done.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, Thank You for loving me. Thank You for Your Word and for giving me the opportunity to be a kingdom builder. Lord, I desire to be used in whatever capacity You would have me to serve. Help me to recognize the gifts and talents You have equipped me with and give me a boldness to put Your Kingdom first. I don’t want to be a spectator in the Kingdom. I want to be a world-changer. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

“Now look around among yourselves, brothers, and select seven men who are well respected and are full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom. We will put them in charge of this business. Then we can spend our time in prayer and preaching and teaching the word.” (Acts 6:3-4)

In Acts 6, we see how important it became for these twelve men to raise up other Godly disciples to help in the work of the ministry. God had called these disciples to teach the Bible. In the midst of the grumbling among the believers, a decision had to be made. They could have either raised up other Godly disciples to help in the work, or they could have neglected their study of the Word of God. In order to teach the people, these men made a great decision. Instead of trying to delegate the order of business among themselves, they presented others with the opportunity.

It is important in ministry to delegate and ‘give away’ ministry. God has given each and every one of us gifts in order to serve Him and the body of Christ. The gifts that each of us encompass are a necessary ingredient to the body of believers.

(Ephesians 4:11-12) “And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ,”

Step out and begin serving the Lord in the small things, and watch as larger doors open for you. He is so worthy to be served. Together, we will see God change lives, starting with our own.

“We should be willing to serve the Lord in any and all ways.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, we praise You and Love You in all circumstances Thank You for equipping me to serve You and others. I crave opportunities to use these gifts You’ve given me to serve others. Help me to use these gifts faithfully so that leaders in the church will present me with more opportunities to glorify You in ministry. I pray this in Jesus’ name, Amen.

Do you have a relationship with Jesus?

If you do not know Jesus 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. He loves us and wants to help us. If you have not asked Jesus to be your Lord and Savior please click here 4 Simple Steps to Jesus
