December 16th 2025 – Awakening to His Wisdom

Leave a reply

Scripture Reading:

“For my people are foolish; they do not know me; they are stupid children; they have no understanding; they are wise in doing evil, but how to do good they know not.” (Jeremiah 4:22)

Reflection:

In this poignant verse, God, through Jeremiah, highlights a profound truth about human nature: our tendency to stray from the path of wisdom and understanding. The Israelites, despite being His chosen people, had turned away from knowing God, leading to folly and destruction. This passage serves as a mirror reflecting our own lives.

Foolishness vs. Wisdom:
It’s easy for us to become entangled in the ways of the world, becoming wise in doing evil rather than pursuing righteousness. We may find ourselves justifying actions that stray from God’s commands, prioritizing our desires over His will. This verse prompts us to examine our own hearts—are we actively seeking to know God, or are we complacent, relying on our own understanding?

The Call to Know God:
To combat this foolishness, we must cultivate a deeper relationship with God. This involves prayer, studying His Word, and seeking His presence. As we grow in our knowledge of Him, we begin to understand His heart, His ways, and, ultimately, His goodness. Knowing God equips us to discern right from wrong and empowers us to act justly.

Encouragement:
In moments of confusion or moral ambiguity, remember that God desires to guide us. He invites us into a deeper relationship where we can learn to do good. Let us commit to pursuing understanding, leaning not on our own wisdom but on His everlasting truth.

Take a moment to reflect on how you can deepen your relationship with God this week. Consider specific steps you can take—whether through prayer, reading Scripture, or serving others—to align your understanding with His wisdom.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, Thank You for Your unfailing love and guidance. We come before You, recognizing our tendency to stray from Your ways and the foolishness that sometimes clouds our judgment. Forgive us for the moments when we prioritize our desires over Your truth, and for the times we become wise in doing evil rather than seeking Your goodness.

Help us to cultivate a deeper relationship with You, Lord. Ignite a burning desire in our hearts to know You more intimately. As we immerse ourselves in Your Word, grant us understanding and discernment to recognize Your voice amid the noise of the world. Teach us to seek Your wisdom in every decision we make, so that our actions reflect Your love and grace.

Lord, empower us to act justly and to be vessels of Your goodness in our communities. May our lives shine brightly as testimonies of Your transformative power. We ask for Your help in overcoming the distractions that lead us away from You, and we trust that You will guide us back to the path of righteousness.

Thank You for Your patience with us, and for the promise that when we seek You, we will find You. May we always be hungry for Your presence, eager to learn, and ready to serve. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

Invitation to Accept Jesus:

If you find yourself yearning for hope, love, and a purpose that transcends your current circumstances, I invite you to take a transformative step today. Jesus offers you a relationship filled with grace, understanding, and the promise of everlasting life.

In moments of waiting and uncertainty, know that you are not alone. He is ready to walk with you through every trial and triumph. Embrace the assurance that your story is not finished, and God is eager to reveal His plans for you.

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.

November 3rd 2025 – The Ultimate Journey

Leave a reply

Scripture Reading:

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” (Jeremiah 29:11)

Reflection:

This morning, while scrolling through my “For You” page on social media, I came across a thought-provoking question: “What if you were offered an all-expenses-paid trip to anywhere, where would it be?” It got me reflecting on the journeys we take in life—both physical and spiritual.

In my response, I realized that I have already been offered the ultimate trip: an all-expenses-paid journey to a heavenly home. This journey was made possible by the sacrifice of a very special Man, Jesus Christ, who paid the price for my sins with His own life. His love and grace have paved the way for me and anyone who chooses to seek, follow, and believe in Him.Imagine a destination where there is no sorrow, no pain, and no fear—only peace, joy, and the presence of God. This is the promise of our eternal home, and the best part is that there’s no passport required, no ticket to purchase—only an open heart willing to accept His invitation.

Jesus invites each of us into a personal relationship with Him, offering not just a ticket to paradise, but a transformed life here and now. He loves you deeply and desires for you to experience the fullness of life that comes from knowing Him.

If you haven’t yet accepted His invitation, I encourage you to do so right now.

You can pray something like this:

“Lord Jesus, I believe You are the Son of God. I believe You died for my sins and rose again so I could have eternal life. Please forgive me, come into my heart, and be my Lord and Savior. From this day forward, I choose to follow You. Amen.”

As we ponder the destinations we dream of visiting, let us remember the ultimate journey that awaits us—a journey filled with hope, purpose, and everlasting love. May we always seek to deepen our relationship with Jesus, who is the way, the truth, and the life. (John 14:6)

Where do you imagine your heavenly home to be?- How can you share this invitation with others in your life?

“While the world offers countless destinations, the true journey begins when we open our hearts to Jesus, embracing the ultimate adventure of faith that leads us to eternal peace and joy.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of gratitude for the incredible gift of salvation and the promise of eternal life. Thank You for sending Your Son, Jesus, to make a way for us to be reconciled to You. Help us to embrace this truth in our lives, knowing that our true home is with You.

As we navigate through our daily lives, may we keep our eyes fixed on the hope of our heavenly journey. Strengthen us to share this beautiful invitation with those around us—friends, family, and even strangers—so that they too may experience Your love and grace.

Guide us in our conversations and actions, and give us the courage to be Your hands and feet in this world. Help us to reflect Your light, bringing hope to those who are lost and weary. May our lives be a testament to Your faithfulness, drawing others closer to You. In Your precious name, we pray. Amen.

September 14th 2025 – What’s Your Temperature?

Leave a reply

“I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth. You say, ‘I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.’ But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind, and naked.” (Revelation 3:15-17)

In a world filled with distractions and competing priorities, many Christians find themselves in a state of lukewarmness—spiritually stagnant and lacking the vibrant faith that Jesus desires for us. It’s a condition that can creep in subtly, lulling us into a false sense of security about our relationship with God.

Checking You Temperature

Lukewarm Christians often attend church, participate in activities, and may even know Scripture, yet their hearts are disconnected from the passion and purpose that come from a true relationship with Christ. They may be comfortable in their routines, thinking that outward appearances are enough. However, Jesus warns us that this state is not only unsatisfactory but also dangerous. It leads to spiritual blindness, where we fail to see our need for His grace and guidance.

Many of us may find ourselves echoing the words of the Laodiceans: “I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.” We may be materially comfortable but spiritually impoverished. This self-sufficiency can hinder our growth and lead us to neglect the deeper aspects of our faith.

The Call to Change
The good news is that we do not have to remain in this state! Jesus invites us to awaken from our lukewarm condition and rekindle our passion for Him. Here are some steps to help us move from lukewarmness to a vibrant, life-giving faith:

  1. Self-Examination: Take time for honest reflection. Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal areas in your life where you may have become complacent. Are you going through the motions, or is your heart truly engaged in your relationship with God?
  2. Repentance: Acknowledge any areas of apathy or disconnection from God. Repentance is not just feeling sorry; it’s a change of heart and direction. Turn away from anything that hinders your walk with Christ and turn back to Him.
  3. Renewed Commitment: Make a conscious decision to pursue a deeper relationship with Jesus. This might involve setting aside dedicated time for prayer, studying His Word, and seeking fellowship with other believers who can encourage and challenge you in your faith.
  4. Action: Faith is not just belief; it’s action. Look for opportunities to serve others, share the Gospel, and live out your faith in practical ways. Engaging in acts of service and love can reignite your passion and purpose.
  5. Stay Connected: Surround yourself with fellow believers who are also seeking to grow in their faith. Join a Bible study, prayer group, or volunteer team where you can encourage one another to remain fervent in spirit.

As we reflect on our walk with Christ, let’s commit to stepping out of lukewarmness into a vibrant relationship with Him. The world needs believers who are on fire with the love of Christ, and it starts with us!

“True faith is not just in what we believe, but in how we live out that belief each day; let our actions be the echo of our hearts.”

Prayer:
Gracious Father, we come before You, acknowledging the times we have settled into a lukewarm faith. We ask for Your forgiveness for our complacency and for the ways we have relied on our own strength instead of fully depending on You. Ignite a fire in our hearts, Lord, that we may pursue You with passion and purpose. Help us to recognize our need for You daily and to live out our faith boldly. May we not only be transformed ourselves but also become agents of change in the lives of others. 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.

July 23rd 2025 – Breaking Free From Bondage

Leave a reply

“Then the king of Egypt made Jehoahaz’s brother Eliakim king over Judah and Jerusalem, and changed his name to Jehoiakim. And Necho took Jehoahaz his brother and carried him off to Egypt.” (2 Chronicles 36:4)

Throughout the Bible, we see Egypt presented as a picture of sin. It was a land of great wealth and power, but to Israel, it was a land of captivity and bondage. As Christians, we live in a world that mirrors this biblical Egypt. The world desires to see us in bondage to its system. Whether you call it the “rat race” or “keeping up with the Joneses,” the world system will only leave you wanting more. We need to get off that road because it’s headed nowhere except over a cliff.

“Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 2:5)

Instead of letting the world dictate our lives, we must turn from the things and people that lead us into sin. We need to relinquish control and let God take the reins of our lives. Allow the Word of God to penetrate your eyes, ears, mind, and heart so that it transforms you from the inside out. Don’t be deceived by the “riches” of Egypt; instead, experience the true riches that come from God.

“Sin is no longer your master, for you no longer live under the requirements of the law. Instead, you live under the freedom of God’s grace.” (Romans 6:14)

“Change the way you think, and you change the way you live.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I come before You with a humble heart, asking for eyes to see and a heart that is open to receiving Your Word. Help me to rise above the worldly mindset that seeks to entrap me and instead adopt the mindset of Christ. I pray that today marks the beginning of a transformation in my life as I strive to walk in obedience to You. Strengthen my resolve to separate myself from sin and from those things and people that lead me astray. In moments of noise and distraction, grant me the quietness to hear Your voice, just as Jesus often sought solitude in prayer. I trust You completely, Lord, and I am so grateful for Your unending grace and mercy in my life. I ask all of this in the precious name of Jesus, Amen.

April 30th 2025 – Practicing a Grateful Heart

1 Reply

“Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” (1 Thessalonians 5:18)

In the hustle and bustle of our daily lives, it’s easy to get caught up in what we lack or what isn’t going right. Yet, Scripture calls us to a higher purpose: to give thanks in all circumstances. Practicing gratitude is not merely a suggestion; it is a command that fosters a deep connection with our Creator and transforms our perspective.

A grateful heart recognizes the blessings that often go unnoticed. From the warmth of the sun on our faces to the laughter of loved ones, everything is a gift from God. When we begin our day with an attitude of gratitude, our hearts are opened to see the beauty around us. We become more aware of the small miracles that fill our lives, even amidst challenges.

Practical Steps:

  1. Keep a Gratitude Journal: Each evening, write down three things you are grateful for. This practice will help you focus on the positives and cultivate a habit of thankfulness.
  2. Daily Affirmations: Start your day by speaking positive affirmations of gratitude. For example, “I am grateful for the love of my family” or “I appreciate the beauty of nature around me.”
  3. Thanksgiving Prayers: Incorporate moments of thanksgiving into your prayers. Instead of solely asking for things, take time to thank God for what you already have.
  4. Express Gratitude to Others: Take the time to tell someone how much you appreciate them. A simple note or a heartfelt conversation can uplift both your spirits.
  5. Focus on the Present: Practice mindfulness by being present in the moment. Acknowledge the blessings that are unfolding right now, whether it’s a beautiful sunset or a kind word from a friend.

As we cultivate a grateful heart, we align ourselves with God’s will and open the door to deeper joy and peace. Let gratitude be the lens through which you view the world, and watch how it transforms your life and those around you. Remember, a grateful heart is a heart that overflows with love and light.

“Practicing a grateful heart helps us recognize and appreciate the blessings in our lives, fostering joy and peace through daily gratitude and connection with God.”

Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for the countless blessings You bestow upon me each day. Help me to practice gratitude, even when circumstances are tough. Teach me to see Your hand in every moment and to express my thankfulness for Your love and grace. May my heart be filled with appreciation, and may my life reflect the joy of a grateful spirit. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
