Galatians 3:26-27 (MSG) Your baptism in Christ was not just washing you up for a fresh start. It also involved dressing you in an adult faith wardrobe—Christ's life, the fulfilment of God's original promise.   In a world of designer outlets, fancy clothes, and the significant influence fashion has on pop culture today, as a child of God, can you confidently say you're working on your &...

Isaiah 43:2 (NIV) When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.   As a child of the living God, you are more than bulletproof! You have been set apart from the dangers of this world and placed in a position where nothing by any mean...

James 1:17 (NIV) Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.   The number one advantage you have as a child of God over those in the world is the security of His grace and love for you! We live in a time when the devil is working tirelessly to try and prevent people from leaving the kingdom of darkness an...

Exodus 14:15-16 (MSG) God said to Moses: "Why cry out to me? Speak to the Israelites. Order them to get moving. Hold your staff high and stretch your hand out over the sea: Split the sea! The Israelites will walk through the sea on dry ground."   The biggest problem with millions of Christians is that they're waiting for God to do something, yet He has left them every resource to act...

James 4:17 (KJV) Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.   Procrastination prevents your blessing! You serve a God of action, and as His child, you cannot allow yourself to succumb to the enemy's attacks simply because you didn't act when God called you to act! In today's verse, the scriptures go as far as to say when you know to do good and do not...

Psalm 119:130 (NIV) The unfolding of your words gives light; it imparts understanding to the simple.   The fundamental component for a plant's growth is light! Imagine the marvel of photosynthesis: a plant draws in carbon dioxide from the air and water from the soil, then, with the help of sunlight, transforms these elements into sugar and oxygen. The sugar nourishes the plant, fuelling its growth...

Luke 22:32 (NIV) But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.   An orchestra is a large collection of instruments typically composed of string, brass, woodwind, and percussion sections in which over one hundred musicians can collaborate together. While each instrument has its own unique sound and tone, they come together t...

Psalms 119:105 (KJV) Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.   This world is encompassed in great darkness and for millions of people around the world, it's extremely easy to feel a sense of helplessness. Throughout the Bible, God's Word is described as a light, meaning that as a child of God, you should never allow yourself to be afflicted by feelings of uncertainty. Wh...

John 15:4 (KJV) Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.   The notion that you must remain in Christ for wonders to take place continually in your life is known worldwide and said often, yet many do not understand why or how this takes place. The reason for this is simple: when you are a child of God,...

John 14:13-14 (KJV) And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask anything in my name, I will do it.   The beauty in today's scripture is found in its deeper meaning. When it says 'ask,' it does not mean praying for God to act. Instead, it means to require, request, receive, or demand what you desire to take place!...

1 Samuel 30:6 (KJV) Lord his God. And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the LORD his God.   In the Bible, King David faced many attacks, both spiritual and physical. All the while, he never looked for motivation or encouragement from anyone...

Hebrews 12:6 (NIV)  Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but whoever hates correction is stupid.   The most demonic person you will ever meet is someone who hates instruction! The scripture above says God disciplines the ones He loves. You are in a very dangerous and unstable position if your pastor, apostle, prophet, or anyone you respect within the faith is afraid to correct you. Correction...

Isaiah 54:16-17 (MSG) I create the blacksmith who fires up his forge and makes a weapon designed to kill. I also create the destroyer but no weapon that can hurt you has ever been forged. Any accuser who takes you to court will be dismissed as a liar. This is what God’s servants can expect.   In the Word, God details exactly what His servants should expect in this life! Despite this, many Christia...

Philippians 2:13 (KJV) For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.   For millions of Christians around the world, prayer has become a relatively meaningless ritual recited before going to sleep or eating dinner. This couldn't be further from what God intended it to be! In the Bible, God communicates that prayer can be done at all points of the day. Whether you'r...

Galatians 2:20 (NIV) I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.   Jesus Christ  didn't come to make your dreams come true! While we praise and thank Him for making people's dreams come true every day, this is a junior level of understanding of how the scrip...

Hosea 4:6 (KJV) My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.   It may shock you to know that the average Christian has barely scratched the surface of all Christ has offered in His Word. The reason is simple: many do no...

Isaiah 43:18-19 (NIV) Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.   You cannot change yesterday, but you can do something today that can change your tomorrow! While you may not be able to alter the mistakes of the past, you can reposition yourself today...

Genesis 12:3 (KJV) And I will bless them that bless thee and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.   In criminal justice and law enforcement, there's a program called Witness Protection! Witness Protection, or WITSEC in America, protects witnesses at risk. In this program, you're given a new identity, disguising you from the enemy's sight; this encour...

John 17:17 (NIV) Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth.   No scripture in the Bible tries to prove God's existence because this is a truth! If you don't believe, the onus lies on you to prove otherwise. When it comes to walking in God or in His ways, you learn you don't test truth; you apply it! When you enter a gym, you don't check to see if exercising with weights will develop your musc...

Galatians 1:10 (NIV) Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.   Today, many are addicted to appeasing others to be popular or liked. Yet, in the days of old, most apostles, prophets, and Bible characters respected in Christendom were heavily persecuted for their beli...

Jeremiah 17:9 (KJV) The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?   Whilst phrases like listen to your heart or follow your heart are widely popular, it may come as a shock to know that they are not biblical, nor do they help you in your walk with Christ! Such sayings are pushed in worldly mediums like literature, songs, or prose in order to abate the power God...

1 Corinthians 10:31 (KJV) Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.   Whilst this verse is extremely popular amongst Christians worldwide, many fail to action it! The scripture, although seemingly simple, holds such a powerful and profound message; have you really made the decision to submit all you are for His glory? Living your life for the glory of God...

John 15:5 (KJV) I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.   As a child of God, you are a branch connected to a perfect Vine! In the study of botany (the research of plants and their environment), the vine provides water and nutrients to its branches, ensuring their success. In the same way, as bran...

Psalms 91:11-12 (MSG) He ordered his angels to guard you wherever you go. If you stumble, they'll catch you; their job is to keep you from falling.   What if I told you that the life God intended for you to live is a life in which no attack of the enemy can catch you by surprise? As a Christian, you can never be blindsided by the attacks of the devil. God has given His angels charge over you, mean...

Luke 22:53-54 (KJV) When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched forth no hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness. Then took they him, and led him, and brought him into the high priest's house. And Peter followed afar off.   The verse above follows the betrayal of Jesus Christ and His subsequent arrest. In this moment, a spiritual reality is revealed! The Lord J...
