12/2/2025 “Therefore, leaving the discussion of the elementary principles of Christ, let us go on to perfection…” (Hebrews 6:1)   As you look back over the past months, it is important to reflect on what the Lord has done and how far He has brought you. This posture of reflection positions you to experience the completion of His agenda for the remainder of the year. The Bible assures us, “He who has begun a good work in you will continue to perfect and complete it until the

12/1/2025 “In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you” (1 Thessalonians 5:18).   As a child of God, the ordinary life is not for you. Living in lack, pain, or despair contradicts who you are in Christ. Nothing—whether external or internal—should keep you defeated. The moment you make up your mind that these contradictions are over, they truly come to an end. You may wonder, “How can it happen so fast?” Child of God, the glorious lif

11/30/2025 “For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God.” — Romans 8:19   There is a deep cry in the world today—a cry for authenticity, for truth, for what is real. We see it in the protests, the movements, and the relentless pushback against injustice and deception. Yet, true authenticity can only be found in one person: Jesus Christ . Speaking of Himself in John 14:6, Jesus declared, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.

11/29/2025 “Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds.” — James 1:2 In Luke 8:22–25 , scripture tells us that Jesus said to His disciples, “Let’s cross to the other side of the lake.” They got into the boat, launched out, and while they sailed, Jesus fell asleep. Suddenly, a violent storm descended on the lake, and their boat began to fill with water. It looked like a death sentence. Panicked, the disciples woke Jesus, shouting, “Master! Master! We

11/28/2025 “While it is daytime, we must do the work of Him who sent Me. Night is coming, when no one can work. While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.” — John 9:4–5   One thing I find fascinating about the Word of God is the light in which it presents us—the light of God’s glory in Christ Jesus. Scripture never presents us as weak, ordinary, or disadvantaged. Instead, we are shown as  glorious, victorious, healthy, unique, resourceful, amazing, beautiful, bless

11/27/2025 “He is the reflection of God's glory and the exact likeness of His being, and He holds everything together by His powerful Word. After providing purification for sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.” — Hebrews 1:3   One of the greatest truths you must hold tightly is your identity in Christ. If you lose that consciousness, you lose everything. Victory or defeat in the Christian life hinges on this knowledge. As a believer, you have received

11/26/2025 “Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.” — James 4:7 The Word of God is our divine recipe for success. If you will take time to study the Word and become an effective producer of it—one who lives it, breathes it, and expresses it—you will inevitably become exactly what the Word describes: a tangible, walking manifestation of Scripture. For years, one question lingered in my heart: How can someone fail with the Word of God? Is that even

11/25/2025 “He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, He has put eternity in their hearts, yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.” —  Ecclesiastes 3:11   When Solomon wrote these words, he was pointing to  us—the new creation in Christ Jesus —those God designed as vessels capable of carrying His very living presence. This is why 1 Corinthians 3:16 boldly declares,  “Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwe

11/24/2025 “But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.” —1 John 1:7 Jesus declared in John 8:12, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” This means that it is impossible for darkness to gain expression in the life of the one who follows Christ. And to follow Christ is to follow His Word; to follow Hi

11/23/2025 “Watch and pray, that you enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” —Matthew 26:41   As a born-again child of God, you are just like Jesus in your spirit. Scripture says, “As He is, so are we in this world” (1 John 4:17). Everything God deposited in you—His life, His power, His nature—was placed in your spirit. You are a spirit, you possess a soul, and you live in a body. And within you, the spirit and the flesh are constantl

11/22/2025 “For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith…” —Hebrews 4:2   Your recreated spirit is the exact image of the Father. Christ is the visible expression of the invisible God, and as He is, so are we in this world (1 John 4:17). You carry His life, His nature, and His glory. If your spirit can house the Holy Spirit, then heaven itself can dwell in you. Praise God! When God speaks, He

11/21/2025 “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.” —Philippians 4:6   Life doesn’t always unfold the way we expect. Sometimes things shift from calm to chaotic in an instant. You may have prayed, believed, and waited—only to watch the situation appear to worsen instead of improve. And now, the thought crosses your mind: Did God even hear me? Saint, be fully assured— God heard you. A cha

11/20/2025 “For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.” (1 Timothy 4:8)   The Word of God is our blueprint for success. It is our manual for victorious living. It amazes me that God is even interested in bodily exercise! What amazes me even more is that He has made everything available for us to be effective both in our health and in our spirit. This means that Papa G

11/19/2025 “Yet I will exult in the Lord, I will rejoice in the God of my salvation.” —Habakkuk 3:18   Unpleasant or difficult circumstances were never designed to defeat you. John 16:33 (AMP): “I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have perfect peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration, but be of good cheer—take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted! For I have overcome the world. I have deprived it of p

11/18/2025 “…this one was born in Zion.” —Psalm 87:4 Jesus said in His prayer to the Father, “They do not belong to this world any more than I do” (John 17:16). He was speaking about you and me. If we are not of this world, then where are we truly from? The answer is found in discovering where Jesus came from. Because the more you know Jesus, the more you discover yourself.   John 1:14 tells us, “The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us… full of grace and truth.”

11/17/2025 Sanctify them by the truth; Your word is truth.” —John 17:17   Hearing from God is essential to living the authentic Christian life. When a child of God finds it difficult to hear His voice, it often means the heart has turned its attention in the wrong direction. It means the soul has been feeding on things that do not produce righteousness. There are many sources of spiritual contamination—images, conversations, environments, and influences that dull your inner m

11/16/2025 “We accept human testimony, but God’s testimony is greater because it is the testimony of God, which He has given about His Son.” — 1 John 5:9 (NIV)   Religion teaches that you are a “work in progress”—that you are going to be saved, believing for victory, waiting for a breakthrough, and that “God isn’t through with you yet.” While such statements may be tolerated when you are a babe in Christ—when ignorance is overlooked and grace carries you—they cannot sustai

11/15/2025 “And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?” — Luke 13:16   Often, believers pray for things that already belong to them or ask God to do what He has instructed them to do. This kind of praying may feel spiritual, but it cripples faith. For instance, praying, “Lord, come and save the world,” is unscriptural—because salvation is already accomplished! Heaven can

11/14/2025 It is common for people to fast when they find themselves in trouble or in dire need. But the believer does not fast only as a reaction to crisis. You don’t need to be in a messy situation to fast. We fast primarily as a ministry of and by the Holy Spirit. While anyone can choose to fast at any time, there are special times when the Spirit of God calls us to fast. These moments carry a unique grace, precision, and heavenly timing. They are divine appointments—stra

11/13/2025 “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” — 2 Corinthians 5:17 (KJV)   A Christian is not someone who simply turned over a new leaf or decided to live a better life. No! It’s far greater than that. The day you received Christ into your life, something supernatural happened — you became a new creation ; you received newness of life. The Bible doesn’t say you will become a new creature;
