January 21st 2026 – The Chessboard of Faith: Strategizing Life with Christ

Leave a reply

Scripture Reference:

“The Lord makes firm the steps of the one who delights in Him; though he may stumble, he will not fall, for the Lord upholds him with His hand.” (Psalm 37:23-24)

Reflection:

Life often resembles a game of chess, where each move we make can lead to victory or defeat. Just as in chess, we face challenges that require strategy, patience, and foresight. Every piece on the chessboard has its unique role, much like each of us in the grand design of God’s creation.

In today’s world, filled with uncertainty and rapid changes, it’s crucial to remain grounded in our faith. Every decision we face, whether at work, in relationships, or within our communities, can feel like a complex chess move. The key is to seek wisdom and guidance from God, allowing His teachings to inform our strategies.

When we encounter obstacles or setbacks, we should remember that even the best chess players lose games. It’s not about every move being perfect but about learning, adapting, and growing from our experiences. God is our ultimate coach, guiding us through the trials and triumphs of life.

Let us remember that though life may feel like a game of strategy, with every challenge, we are invited to deepen our relationship with God and trust in His perfect plan for us.

“Just as every chess piece has a purpose, so too does every moment in our lives. Trust in God’s guidance to navigate the game, and remember that even in our stumbles, He is there to uphold us.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, As we navigate the chessboard of life, grant us the wisdom to make sound decisions and the courage to face challenges head-on. Help us to remember that each move is an opportunity for growth and learning. Strengthen our faith so that we may trust in Your plan, even when the path seems unclear.

Lord, remind us that just as in chess, we must think several moves ahead. Help us to be strategic in our relationships, our work, and our service to others. May we approach each day with the intention to glorify You in all we do.

As we face the uncertainties of our times, we lean on Your promises for guidance and comfort. May our actions reflect Your love and grace, inspiring others to seek You in their own lives. In Jesus’ name, we pray, Amen.

Accept Jesus as Your Savior: The Ultimate Move!

In the intricate game of life, every move counts. Just as a chess player strategizes each piece’s position, we must consider the most significant decision of all: accepting Jesus as our Savior.

When we choose to follow Christ, we are not just making a single move; we are embarking on a transformative journey that shapes our entire lives. With Jesus as our guide, we can navigate the challenges ahead, drawing strength and wisdom from His teachings.

January 20th 2026 – Speed is Dangerous

Leave a reply

Scripture Reference:

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.” (Proverbs 3:5-6)

Reflection:

In our fast-paced world, the allure of speed can often overshadow the importance of direction. We hustle through life, racing to meet deadlines, chase dreams, and fulfill expectations. But what if, in our fervent pursuit of success, we find ourselves heading the wrong way? Speed becomes dangerous when we’re not aligned with the right purpose.

Imagine a car barreling down a highway. It might be moving quickly, but if it’s on the wrong road, no amount of speed will bring it to the desired destination. This is how life can be without Christ at the helm. We may achieve many things, yet if our path doesn’t align with His will, we risk missing the abundant life He promises.

Jesus invites us to surrender our lives to Him, to allow Him to lead us. He knows the best route for us, one that may not always be the fastest but is certainly the most fulfilling. When we let Him set our direction, we discover a peace that surpasses all understanding—a reassurance that we are exactly where we need to be, even when the world seems chaotic.

As you navigate life, remember that it’s not about how fast you’re going, but about who is guiding your journey. Let Jesus be your compass, and trust that He will lead you to a life filled with purpose and joy.

“Success is not measured by how quickly you move, but by the clarity of your direction; let Jesus guide your path, for His way leads to true life.”

Prayer:

Lord, I come before You with a humble heart, recognizing that in my pursuit of goals and dreams, I often rush ahead without seeking Your guidance. Help me to slow down and listen for Your voice. Teach me to trust in Your perfect timing and wisdom, knowing that Your plans for me are far greater than my own.

As I navigate the twists and turns of life, remind me to seek Your direction in every decision I make. Illuminate my path with Your light, so I may discern the steps You want me to take. When I feel lost or overwhelmed, grant me the peace that comes from surrendering my will to You.

Help me to remember that true fulfillment comes not from speed, but from following You. I pray for the courage to let go of my need for control and to embrace the journey that You have laid out for me. Thank You for being my guide, my strength, and my hope. In Jesus’ 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.

July 19th 2025 – Eternal Perspective: Living with Urgency

Leave a reply

“Be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.” (1 Corinthians 15:58)

Imagine if you had just 24 hours before the world as we know it was to end. How would that shift your perspective on life? Would it prompt you to reach out to someone you’ve been meaning to talk to, or inspire you to accomplish tasks you’ve delayed? Though we may not dwell on such thoughts regularly, contemplating our mortality and the promise of Christ’s return can profoundly impact how we live today.

“As lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so will the coming of the Son of Man be.” (Matthew 24:27)

Consider this: a lightning bolt races across the sky at 3,700 miles per second. It illuminates the sky for merely a fraction of a second before fading away. Similarly, the return of our Lord will be swift and transformative. It could happen in an instant—today or years from now—but it is certain.

Are you prepared? Do you have a personal relationship with Jesus as your Savior? If so, are you living each day in devotion to Him? His return will be swift and mighty, accompanied by rewards for those who remain faithful. I ask you again: are you truly ready?

“We should live in a state of readiness, acutely aware that life can change suddenly, completely, and forever.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for the assurance of Your return. What a blessing it is to know that one day You will restore all things and grant us new bodies to serve You for eternity. Lord, help me to serve You now, not waiting for that day to come. Empower me through Your Holy Spirit to lead a steadfast and unwavering life dedicated to Your work. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
