STRENGTH TO MOVE FOWARD: (ENDURANCE IN TRIALS)



Isaiah 40:31 says: “But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint.” This verse speaks about two levels of divine empowerment: the strength to endure and the strength to move forward. Waiting on God means trusting Him in the midst of trials, holding on even when nothing seems to change. It is a spiritual posture of hope, faith, and patience, knowing that God will not fail you.


This week we focus on how to gain strength to move forward. Yesterday, we saw that it is not by might or power, but by the Spirit of God (Zechariah 4:6 NKJV).


Strength to move forward is a reward for those who endure. Endurance is the ability to remain calm and faithful when life feels stuck—when friends succeed, marriages blossom, careers thrive, and yet your prayers seem unanswered. God may allow this season to teach you trust, humility, and faithfulness.


Isaiah 40:31 tells us that those who wait on God their strength will be renewed. After enduring trials, God gives fresh strength—a divine push to rise above challenges, run without weariness, and walk without fainting.


I decree and declare to you today: as you enter September, God is renewing your strength. You will not end this year as a failure but as a testimony of His power. Your faith is rising again; your hope is restored. The Holy Spirit will empower you to overcome every challenge that has held you for years.


Declare today: *"It is not by might nor by power but by the Spirit of God! I am rising up again. I will run and not be weary, I will walk and not faint.”**


Prayer: Lord, renew my strength and help me rise above trials in Your power.

THE WISEST THING TO DO IN YOUR LIFE

  Daniel 12:3 (GNT) says, “The wise leaders will shine with all the brightness of the sky. And those who have taught many people to do what is right will shine like the stars forever.” This verse speaks about the reward God will give His faithful people on the last day. Those who live with wisdom and lead others to righteousness will shine like stars in the sky—forever. What a powerful promise! Today, I want to teach you how to be wise so you can receive this reward. The Bible says in James 1:5 (NKJV), “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God...”  This means wisdom comes from God, and He is willing to give it to anyone who asks. When you receive God’s wisdom, you will learn how to live the right way and make decisions that please Him. You will also have the power to guide others. The wisest thing you can ever do in life is to preach the Gospel—to help people turn away from sin and accept Jesus Christ. That is the kind of wisdom that brings eternal rewards. Also, if you ...

MISPLACED FEAR

Matthew 10:28  (NKJV) says: “And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.”   This is a direct call from Jesus to correct our fears. Many people fear human threats, sickness, poverty, storms, or death. Yet Jesus reminds us that these things can only touch the body. The true danger is sin, because it separates us from God and leads to eternal destruction. The only fear that matters is the fear of God, for He alone holds the destiny of both the body and soul. One day I was in a garage fixing my car. It was an open space and suddenly it began raining heavily. All the mechanics rushed to take shelter inside. As we stood, they began sharing jokes, laughing about drinking and the women they slept with. I always preach to them, telling them to repent and receive Jesus. But they laughed it off. As we were standing there inside, suddenly the storm grew stronger, with thunder and lightning flashin...
