It Will Take You! Today’s Scripture: Psalms 1:3 NIV God is not going to do it for us; it will take us to get the blessings and the things God promises. It is very clear in Scripture. Nothing happens in the kingdom or in our lives without us. God says he will favor us, but it still requires us, our participation, our getting up and doing the work. God's promises are not in isolation from our partic...

Today’s Scripture: Psalms 27:4 NIV One thing I ask from the Lord, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple.

Text: Genesis 16:13 NIV [13] She gave this name to the Lord who spoke to her: “You are the God who sees me,” for she said, “I have now seen the One who sees me.” Points: 1.

Hagar was going through t...

Philippians 3:12 NIV Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.

Construction can be uncomfortable, change is uncomfortable because we are creatures of routine, repetition, so when cha...

Scripture: Luke 2:7 and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger because no guest room was available for them. But the first Christmas was also filled with doubt, relational conflict, danger, and grief — all under the sovereign watch of Father God. Yet these conditions make Jesus' arrival so hopeful and relatable. The blessing of the first Christ...

Shake off Anxiety/ Shake of Fear While sitting and listening to a Podcast, I saw a bird and it was on the ground. But out of nowhere it just took off. It started flying, And in that moment I saw that the bird had no fear of flying. What then dropped in my spirit was that the bird was so free as I watched it fly. The bird 🐦 🕊️ was doing what it was designed to do: FLY!!! Effortlessly and free. In...

Romans: 8:16-18 16 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. 17 Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory. 18 I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. 1. Present Suffering: Paul ackn...

Today’s Scripture: Romans 8:28  If you remember in our last episode or part one of All things work together for Good. I said that God sees all and knows all and when he is developing us and we experience storms or struggles he allows it because it draws us closer to him.

Today’s Scripture: James 2:17 (NIV) "In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead." This scripture highlights that faith must be accompanied by action. We need to step out in faith, giving God something to work with, rather than remaining inactive. Nothing happens until we give God something to work with. We think God is going to do it for us, but the truth is that...

You'll get to the prosperity season but you must be prepared first through your prepara...

Today’s Scripture: 1 Kings 18:38-39 Then the fire of the Lord fell and burned up the sacrifice, the wood, the stones and the soil, and also licked up the water in the trench.

The Lord—he is God!” When the fire fell and the Lord answered by fire to Elijah he answered by the grace of his power. Which was represented in...

Today’s Scripture: 1 Kings 18:35-37 The water ran down around the altar and even filled the trench.

Answer me, Lord, answer me, so these people will know that...

Today’s Scripture: 1 Kings 18:33-34 He arranged the wood, cut the bull into pieces and laid it on the wood. Then he said to them, “Fill four large jars with water and pour it on the offering and on the wood.” “Do it again,” he said, and they did it again. “Do it a third time,” he ordered, and they did it the third time.  Elijah invoked the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit by having them pour water upo...

Today’s Scripture: 1 Kings 18:32 With the stones he built an altar in the name of the Lord, and he dug a trench around it large enough to hold two seahs of seed. Elijah didn't just invoke the word but he also invoked the name of the Lord. He knew that he needed the word, but he also knew that he needed the word of the Lord. We must always invoke the name of the Lord upon our prayers alatarts....

Today’s Scripture: 1 Kings 18:31NIV Elijah took twelve stones, one for each of the tribes descended from Jacob, to whom the word of the Lord had come, saying, “Your name shall be Israel.” Elijah remembered the word of the Lord and he invoked the word of the Lord.

After the promise is fulfilled, what follows is laughter and singing. In our previous episode, we talked about the test and the promise....

Today’s Scripture: James 1:12 NIV Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him. There is always a test before the promise, or we can say there is always a cross before a crown. The test before the promise means that on our journey to where God is taking us, we will have some...

Today’s Scripture: Psalms 27:1 NIV The Lord is my light and my salvation— whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life— of whom shall I be afraid?

Libnah revolted at the same time. Esau endured fa...
