He predestined us to adoption as sons to Himself through Jesus Christ according to the good pleasure of His will, to the praise of the glory of His grace which He graciously bestowed on us in the Beloved. Ephesians 1:5-6 MEV Beloved, if we were designed by our performance, then we are limited. But if God designed us by His grace, our life is His treat, then we are boundless! We are already chosen for the praise of His glorious grace He bestowed upon us in Christ Jesus. Just a

Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. James 4:7 ESV God does not resist the enemy for us, rather He has given us the authority to resist him. Though we live in this world, we are not of the world, we live in the kingdom of light of God's own Son, a holy kingdom. The enemy cannot operate there. Obadiah 1:17 says, “ In mount Zion, there shall be holiness.” Devil is not holy, so he can't come there. The enemy’s strategy is to draw us d

Words from the wise are like sharp goads. When these sayings are written down and saved, they can be used to guide people, just as a shepherd uses a sharp stick to make his sheep go the right way. Ecclesiastes 12:11 ERV Just like companies follow a business model to stay profitable and grow even during tough economic times, the Word of God serves as our blueprint for living victoriously despite the brokenness of the world. John 1:4-5 ESV says, “In him was life, and the life w

they shall not hunger or thirst, neither scorching wind nor sun shall strike them, for he who has pity on them will lead them, and by springs of water will guide them. Isaiah 49:10 ESV Our theme verse does not promise that we will always have abundance in this fallen world; rather, it assures us that we will not hunger or thirst. It does not say that the scorching sun or wind will not come, but it declares that they will not strike us. This is not by our performance or streng

PRAY FOR YOUR LAND 2 Timothy 4:3-4 NLT says, “For a time is coming when people will no longer listen to sound and wholesome teaching. They will follow their own desires and will look for teachers who will tell them whatever their itching ears want to hear. They will reject the truth and chase after myths.” In today's world, many are resisting the truth, pure teachings of God's words, and desiring teachings that align with their lifestyles and emotions and beliefs. The Lord s

the Lord, whose promises I praise. Psalm 56:10 GNT Beloved, all we have in our new life in Christ is given to us from above, everything comes from God. The enemy’s trick is to make people believe that he is the source of good things, and that we must struggle to gain wealth. But God alone is the giver of every good gift. He has already provided all we need to live a life that is pleasing to Him—no struggle required. Accepting His sufferings means enduring trials with the assu

As you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world. John 17:18 ESV Beloved, use this season of Lent to reflect on your purpose on earth. The Lord did not descend to hell after His death on the cross to be held captive by the devil. Rather, He went there for a purpose—to defeat him and set his captives free. Colossians 2:15 ESV says, “ He disarmed the rulers and authorities and put them to open shame, by triumphing over them in him.” That is why Ephesians 4:8 E

Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. Psalm 119:105 ESV Let us bless Our heavenly Father for giving us His awesome promises. II Peter 1:4 NKJV says, “by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.” We are living in a polluted world, but by living in His words, we escape the pollution, decay of this fallen wor
