  “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” — 2 Timothy 1:7 (NKJV)   This verse clearly shows that fear does not come from God. If you feel fear, anxiety, or panic inside you, remember — that spirit is not from your Heavenly Father. God gives power, love, and a sound mind. These are your true gifts. Fear is not your portion. When Jesus came into your life, He came with victory, boldness, peace, and authority. He conquered death, the grave, sin, sickness, and Satan. That same Jesus lives in you today through His Spirit. So if Christ the Conqueror is inside you, then fear cannot rule over you. Fear is a thief. It steals your joy, peace, dreams, and confidence. It makes you feel small when God has made you great. But now is the time to reject fear and receive God’s boldness. The Holy Spirit inside you is not weak — He is strong. His power is working in your mind, your emotions, and your words. With Him, you can rise and win every b...

  Proverbs 21:13  says, “If you refuse to listen to the cry of the poor, your own cry for help will not be heard.”   This scripture teaches a powerful truth: the way you treat others will return to you. If you ignore people in need, one day you will also need help—and no one will listen. This is the law of sowing and reaping. Even Jesus Himself confirmed this principle in Luke 6:38  and Matthew 7:12 . He taught that if you want others to treat you well, you must do the same for them. Jesus said, “Give, and it will be given to you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over.”  If you are kind, people will be kind to you. If you are honest, others will be honest with you. If you show mercy, you will also receive mercy. This law works in every part of life. If you plant good seeds, you will receive a good harvest. But if you plant evil, you will receive trouble. What you say, what you do, and how you treat people—these are all seeds. If you sow l...

  “O God, You are more awesome than Your holy places. The God of Israel is He who gives strength and power to His people. Blessed be God!” — Psalm 68:35 (NKJV)   This verse shows us a great truth—God is powerful, and He gives His power to His people. He is not just strong by Himself; He shares that strength with those who trust in Him. The Bible says, “He gives strength and power to His people,”  which means He wants His children to walk in strength, not weakness. Our God is not weak. He is the Creator of heaven and earth. He gives spiritual power to help us pray, preach, and overcome temptation. He also gives physical strength to serve Him and do our daily work. But He does even more—He gives wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. God gives intellectual power to build things, solve problems, run businesses, and bring solutions to the world. Many people think they must depend only on their education, money, or experience. But as believers, we must remember that the true so...

  “You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.” — 2 Timothy 2:3 (NKJV)   This verse reminds us that the Christian life is not always easy. Paul was writing to Timothy, a young man in ministry, telling him that serving Christ is like being a soldier. A soldier does not live in comfort. A soldier goes through tough training, faces battles, and fights to win. As believers in Christ, we are in a real war — a spiritual war. Our enemy, Satan, is determined to fight us, confuse us, tempt us, and even try to destroy our faith. But the good news is this: victory has already been given to us through Jesus Christ. We are not fighting to win — we are fighting from the victory Christ already won on the Cross. That is why you may go through hard times, face temptations, or feel like giving up. These things are not strange — they are part of the Christian life. As a soldier of Christ, you are not called to relax or live in comfort. You are called to fight, to stand ...

Proverbs 21:6 (GNT) — "The riches you get by dishonesty soon disappear, but not before they lead you into the jaws of death." Many people in today’s world chase after money, success, and fame with no care about how they get it. To them, what matters is the outcome — to become rich, powerful, or successful. But in the eyes of God, the process is more important than the outcome. Why? Because God cares more about your soul than your success. Jesus said, "What does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul?"  (Mark 8:36 ). This means your soul is more valuable than all the riches in the world. So, if your success costs you your soul, then it is not true success. Proverbs 21:6 warns us: "The riches you get by dishonesty soon disappear, but not before they lead you into the jaws of death."  If you become rich through lying, cheating, or stealing, that wealth will not last, and it can bring you sorrow. In our workplaces today, many lie to get prom...

  Romans 14:1 – “Welcome those who are weak in faith, but do not argue with them about their personal opinions." This verse shows God’s heart toward people who are still growing. He knows not everyone is at the same level in faith. Some are strong, some are weak, and some are just starting. God is not asking us to argue with them or correct them harshly—He is asking us to accept them with love. It is a natural law that everything starts small before it becomes big. A baby doesn’t run on the first day. A seed doesn’t become a tree in one night. Everything needs time to grow. It is the same with people. In life, we all need time to grow—in marriage, in ministry, in business, and in faith. When you start something new or enter a new season, you will make mistakes. That doesn’t mean you are not called or that you don’t belong. It simply means you need time. God knows that growth takes time. That’s why He teaches us not to judge people too quickly. Romans 14:1 is God’s reminder that ev...

  Hebrews 11:24  – “By faith Moses, when he became of age, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter." This verse shows us something powerful: Moses made a decision to change. He had every reason to stay in the palace and enjoy the easy life of Egypt. But by faith, he chose a different path. He made a decision that changed his future and the future of a whole nation. In the same way, everyone on earth has a chance to change. It doesn’t matter how you were born or the kind of family you come from. Maybe your life now is the way it is because of your background, or maybe your family is under a curse. But the truth is this: God has given you a chance to change. Hebrews 11:24  says, “By faith…”  That means there was no physical proof that Moses would be great. His decision was not based on what he could see. His faith pushed him to act. You also need faith to say no to the life you’re living now if it’s not helping you. You can say no to poverty and start workin...

  “For the LORD knows the way of the righteous, But the way of the wicked will perish.” — Psalms 1:6 (NKJV) Life can sometimes feel unfair. You might find yourself in situations where people misunderstand you, misjudge your intentions, or accuse you of things you never did. Your heart may be heavy with sadness, especially when you try to explain yourself but no one seems to listen or believe you. There are seasons when you work hard, give your best, and walk in integrity, yet your efforts go unnoticed. You may watch others who cut corners, gossip, or lie rise in favor and promotions, while you remain unappreciated and overlooked. But today, I want to encourage you: God sees. God knows. And God fights. Psalm 1:6 reminds us that the Lord knows the way of the righteous. That means He is fully aware of your journey, your heart, your labor, and your pain. You're not hidden from Him. Every time you choose integrity over compromise, truth over deceit, or patience over vengeance, God takes...

  “1 Chronicles 11:9 KJV says; So David waxed greater and greater: for the LORD of hosts was with him. This verse begins with the word “So,” which is grammatically used here as a "discourse marker", indicating a consequence or result of previous events. This means David's greatness and increase were not random—they were outcomes of earlier chapters in his life. David’s journey to greatness didn’t start with a crown. He was a shepherd boy, tending his father’s sheep in obscurity. Even after being anointed king by the prophet Samuel, he returned to the pasture. He then faced Goliath and won, but instead of being rewarded with peace, he was invited into Saul’s palace where he became a target of jealousy and attempted murder. For about 13 years, David lived as a fugitive, hiding in caves and wilderness, carrying the weight of a royal promise while being hunted like a criminal. Despite rejection, betrayal, and hardship, David remained faithful to God. He didn’t abandon his cal...

  Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1 NKJV Faith is not just a dream or a wish. It is something real. Faith is the proof that what God has promised already exists, even if we can’t see it yet. Before sin entered the world, Adam didn’t need faith. He lived in God’s presence all the time. Everything was available to him right away. But after the fall, people were separated from God and began living under lack and scarcity. We now hope for things in the future. That’s why the Bible says faith gives us those things now—even before we see them with our eyes. Faith is not a feeling. It’s not just hoping something will happen. Faith is a tool God gives us to receive His promises. Jesus often talked about people’s faith. Luke 5:20   says "And when he saw their faith" This means faith can be seen. It can grow. Even if it’s as small as a mustard seed, it can still move mountains. The Bible says in Ephesians 1 that God has al...

  Woe to those who seek deep to hide their counsel far from the Lord, and their works are in the dark; they say, “Who sees us?” and, “Who knows us?” — Isaiah 29:15 (NKJV) Many people live as though God does not see. But Isaiah 29:15  is a warning to all who try to hide their sin and act holy before men. God is not blind. He knows everything (omniscient), He is all-powerful (omnipotent), and He is everywhere (omnipresent). You cannot escape His eyes. What you do in the dark, God sees it as clearly as daylight. Nobody wants to be seen as evil or wicked. No one wants public shame. But unfortunately, there’s too much hypocrisy in the church today. People commit abominations in secret but present themselves as holy, kind, and loving on the outside. They even go as far as judging others for small mistakes while hiding great wickedness in their own lives. God says: “Woe unto you.”  If you think He doesn’t see your pride, your lust, your lies, your cheating, your secret sin—wake ...
