Acts 20:22 (ISV) And now, compelled by the Spirit, I am on my way to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there.   Some things we're requested to do by God are burdens of the Spirit where He gives us the  opportunity  to respond. Then there are things we are  summoned  to do. A summons requires an altogether different response. It does not come with options and cannot be silenced; it...

1 Thessalonians 5:19 (KJV) Quench not the Spirit.   Poverty and lack are proof that someone somewhere quenched the Spirit. The Bible tells us that time and chance happen to us all (Ecclesiastes 9:11), meaning rich and poor alike are given opportunities to prosper. The reality is some are comfortable living with the demon of poverty and laying personal claim to their sickness. They refuse to accept...

Luke 21:8 (VOICE) Be careful. It’s easy to be deceived. Many people will come claiming to have My authority. They’ll shout, “I’m the One!” or “The time is now!” Don’t take a step in their direction.   In the fear-charged atmosphere of our present world, people cannot help but feel the disquieting hum of uncertainty. 'Doomsday prepping' is trending, with wealthy billionaires investing their...

Job 11:7 (EXB) “Can you ·understand [L discover] the ·secrets [L deep things] of God?    Can you ·search [L discover] the limits of ·the Almighty [Shaddai]?   What a mighty God we serve! Have you contemplated the vastness of God's providence? How incredible it is that our God calls Himself El Shaddai, which means The Many-Breasted One. He is our Nourisher and Sustainer, the perfect provider of...

Proverbs 23:4 (KJV) Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom.   We live in a hustle-and-get-rich-quick culture, leading some to labour endlessly to pursue riches. However, Proverbs 23:4 offers a different perspective that dissuades us from such tireless pursuit. It tells us we should not wear ourselves out trying to get rich. In other words, it should not be a struggle. Instead, it urges...

Numbers 14:36 (MSG) So it happened that the men Moses sent to scout out the land returned to circulate false rumours about the land causing the entire community to grumble against Moses—all these men died. Having spread false rumours of the land, they died in a plague, confronted by God.   One of the most tragic accounts in history occurred when the children of Israel arrived at the promised land....

Ecclesiastes 2:26 (KJV) For God giveth to a man that is good in his sight wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: but to the sinner he giveth travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him that is good before God. This also is vanity and vexation of spirit.   Worker bees toil tirelessly to produce the most delicious honey. Not only do they collect nectar and transform it into honey, but they a...

Psalm 119:103 (GW) How sweet the taste of your promise is! It tastes sweeter than honey.   In the realm of love, the power of sweet words cannot be understated; they are like a soft rain that nurtures the heart's garden. Consider the phrase, “You’re as fundamental as an oasis!” Such words have the potential to stir the heart of anyone who knows they are cherished by the one uttering them.  Jus...

Psalm 50:10 (EASY) All the wild animals of the forest belong to me! All the cows on a thousand hills belong to me!   Different breeds of cows have been selectively bred for milk production. In the United States, the Holstein cow is widely recognized as the breed that produces the most milk. A Holstein can produce around 22,000 to 23,000 pounds of milk on average when it is actively producing. That...

3 John 2:1 (NKJV) Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.   Honey is often praised for its potential benefits for the skin. Applying honey can help hydrate and moisturize your skin, making it more supple and radiant. Its anti-inflammatory properties can soothe irritated skin and reduce redness. It also has natural antibacterial properties, w...

2 Corinthians 9:11 (AMPC) Thus you will be enriched in all things  and  in every way, so that you can be generous, and [your generosity as it is] administered by us will bring forth thanksgiving to God.   Misery loves company! Complainers thrive on spreading negativity. Prosperous people, however, enjoy sharing their prosperity by giving towards the work of God. In so doing, they infect their surr...

Ecclesiastes 3:1 (KJV) To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.   Do you realize that Adam was not made a foetus or a new-born? He was brought into existence as a fully-grown man with years already in him. He did not need to go through periods of adolescence or puberty, waiting to become what God intended Him to be or to possess what God wanted him to have. In...

1 Timothy 1:18 (KJV) This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare.    Prophecy is a dangerous weapon! When you hear a prophetic word, it is not a statement that you receive passively and expect to work automatically. It’s a weapon that you are commanded to use to wage warfare. That means you are on...

Numbers 13:33 (KJV) And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.   Imagine standing before the gleaming counter of a fast-food restaurant. The aroma of sizzling fries wafts through the air, and the vibrant menu board overhead promises an array of mouth-watering delights. Suddenly, the attendant...

Psalm 127:4-5 (KJV) As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.   Picture this. An expert archer stands tall and poised. His feet are shoulder-width apart; an arrow is carefully nocked on the bowstring, held in position with a firm yet relax...

Philippians 4:6 (KJV) Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.    When you're faced with bills, court cases or any challenge that you might think of, remember that God is more than able to handle it. The heavens and the earth all belong to Him. He is more than able to turn your situation around. Our scriptu...

Joel 3:10 (KJV) Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruning hooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong.    The devil is a spiritual being who's spiritually dead because of his disengagement with the Giver of Life. There are things he'll never know about you unless you update him on your own. From the days of Adam, his approach was to find out information from men and pervert i...

2 Corinthians 5:17 (KJV) Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.    It’s unscriptural for us to believe we're the cause of Jesus Christ's death. I understand it when the church tries to buy into that idea because that’s a generic understanding of scripture. Do you know you never existed before, according to the...

Isaiah 12:3 (KJV) Therefore, with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation.    A balanced diet is a meal or feeding schedule comprising all the required nutrients for your body. When something lacks or is given in excess, symptoms appear in the form of stunted growth, diseases, etc. The same applies in the spiritual realm.  You need all the components or benefits of salvation to be ac...

2 Corinthians 5:17 (KJV) Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.    It’s unscriptural for us to believe we're the cause of Jesus Christ's death. I understand it when the church tries to buy into that idea because that’s a generic understanding of scripture. Do you know you never existed before, according to the...

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.    People perish not because of illiteracy but because they lack godly knowledge. Whenever Christians are ignorant, territories are lost. The biggest loophol...

NATURE OF LOVE  Romans 5:5 (KJV)  And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.    Anything we call nature or natural is something that comes out naturally or is an inborn trait that we cannot erase. Today's scripture tells us love is our nature. Old Testament folks needed to be commanded to love, but not me and you....

1 Corinthians 15:33 (KJV) Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.    If you have four broke friends, you will definitely be the fifth. I don't need to prophesy; I can tell where you are going just by seeing your company. The people you surround yourself with either add or take away value from your life. Your network is your net worth. The Bible says bad company or communicat...

John 15:19 (KJV)  If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.   There's unrest in the world as economies are crumbling, markets crashing, and economic depression seems imminent. Some Christians are wondering how they will get through this. The only strategy is to refuse to pa...

 Exodus 13:21 (KJV)  And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way, and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light, to go by day and night.   When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Lord was a pillar of fire at night and a cloud at noonday. The desert is very harsh; it’s cold at night and extremely hot during the day. With such knowledge, God gave them...
