Word of God

Proverbs 11:14 NKJV says, “Where there is no counsel, the people fall; But in the multitude of counselors there is safety.”   God created us to walk in wisdom, but part of that wisdom is learning from others. The word “counsel” means guidance, instruction, or advice. When people make decisions without counsel, they expose themselves to danger, confusion, and unnecessary mistakes. But when they humble themselves and listen to wise, godly voices, they find protection, direction, and clarity. God often uses people to bring answers, warnings, and insight. That is why the Bible teaches that there is safety when we allow others to speak into our lives. Sometimes it is very important to seek help or deeper understanding of a situation from wise and experienced people. God has placed His wisdom in different people on earth. No one has all the answers. Some people carry a grace, knowledge, and understanding that you may not have. Seeking their counsel can save you from years of pain,...

  James 1:5 NKJV says, “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.”   God is the true source of wisdom. This verse begins by saying "if any of you lacks wisdom,"  meaning God knows there are moments when even His children do not understand what to do. Wisdom is not automatic. It must be asked for. God welcomes you to ask Him because He gives generously. He does not judge, condemn, or shame you for not knowing. He does not accuse you for lacking understanding. Instead, He gives freely, kindly, and without reproach. And the promise is sure, it will be given. God never lies. When you ask in faith, He releases divine wisdom to guide you in your decisions. When you want to make any major decision in your life pause and ask God for wisdom. Our minds are limited but God knows everything. He knows the future. He knows how things will turn out after you make that decision. What looks right to you ma...

  Proverbs 3:5–6 NKJV says, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.”   Trusting God is a powerful foundation for decision-making. It shows that the safest, surest, and most successful way to make decisions is not by depending on human wisdom, emotions, or personal logic, but by putting full trust in God. Trusting God with all your heart means surrendering your ideas, fears, and personal desires to Him. It means believing that His wisdom is higher than yours and that His plan for your life is always good. When you choose not to lean on your own understanding, you are choosing to depend on God’s unlimited knowledge instead of your limited human reasoning. When it says; “Acknowledge Him in all your ways”  means you involve God in everything, your plans, your choices, your desires, your relationships, and your future. And when you do that, the promise is sure: He shall di...

  Proverbs 14:12  NKJV says, “There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death.”   This scripture shows the danger of trusting human judgment without God’s guidance. A decision can look good, feel right, sound wise, and even attract the approval of many people, yet still lead to destruction. Human understanding is limited. We see only what is in front of us, but God sees the beginning, the middle, and the end. Many people choose paths based on excitement, emotions, and personal desires, but those choices often hide consequences that only appear later. When the Bible says “its end is the way of death,”  it means that decisions made without God can destroy peace, destiny, relationships, and purpose. God warns us so that we do not walk into traps that look harmless. Not everything that looks good is truly good. Your feelings can mislead you because feelings change. Your opinions can mislead you because they are shaped by limited experience. Othe...

  Deuteronomy 30:19  NKJV says, “I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live.”   This is one of the clearest revelations of God’s heart for humanity. God does not hide the truth or confuse His people. He lays the options openly: life or death, blessing or cursing. Then He shows the best and most beautiful choice — choose life. This shows God’s desire for us to live in His goodness, His peace, and His blessing. It also reveals a great spiritual truth: your life is shaped by the choices you make. When God created man, He gave him free will which is the ability to choose. God never created a robot or a machine. He created a person with a mind, a heart, and the freedom to decide what kind of life he wants to live. This means every step you take, every decision you make, and every path you walk is shaped by your personal choices. You must understand that your life today is the result of yesterda...

  Romans 8:11  NKJV says, “But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.” The same Holy Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead now lives inside every believer. His presence is not passive. He is active, powerful, and life-giving. He strengthens your body, renews your mind, and empowers you to live the life God designed for you. The resurrection power of God is not only a future hope but a present reality working in you every day. Jesus Himself explained the tension we face when He said, “The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak”  (Matthew 26:41 ). This shows that even when your spirit desires to obey God, your flesh can pull you in the opposite direction. Your flesh becomes the greatest enemy to your spiritual identity. It fights against God’s will, God’s purpose, and God’s calling for your life. Your true identity is not in...

  John 16:8 NKJV says, “And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment.”   This verse is often misunderstood, yet it reveals one of the most important ministries of the Holy Spirit. Jesus was teaching His disciples about the work the Spirit would perform after His ascension. The word “convict” means to reveal truth, to show the real condition, and to expose what is hidden so that a person can respond to God. The Holy Spirit convicts the world of sin because the world has rejected Jesus. He convicts the world of righteousness because Jesus has gone to the Father, and He convicts the world of judgment because the ruler of this world is already judged. Many people think the Holy Spirit came to constantly tell them how wrong they are or to remind them of their sins. That is not true. The Holy Spirit never came to accuse you. He convicts the world of sin, but when it comes to the believer His work is different. He convicts you of your ...

  Romans 8:15  (NKJV) says, “You have not received a spirit of slavery leading again to fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption.”   A spirit of slavery brings fear, shame, guilt, and a constant feeling of never being enough. It traps a person in old habits, old labels, and old memories that try to define who they are. This kind of slavery keeps the heart chained to lies that whisper, “You are alone, you are not worthy, you are helpless.” But the Scripture says we have received something completely different, the Spirit of adoption. This means God brings us close, accepts us, calls us His children, and gives us full identity in Christ. Adoption breaks fear. Adoption breaks insecurity. Adoption gives us boldness, confidence, and a new nature. When God calls you His child, no lie of the enemy is allowed to define you again. Many people today walk through life with painful labels stuck to their hearts. Some call themselves “addict,” “victim,” “failure,” “unlovable,...

  John 14:26  (NKJV) says, “But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.” This verse gives us a clear revelation of the Holy Spirit’s role in the life of a believer. Jesus promised that after He returned to the Father, the Holy Spirit would come to guide, teach, and strengthen His followers. The Holy Spirit does not bring new ideas that contradict Jesus; instead, He reminds you of what Jesus already said. He brings back to your heart the truths that shape your identity, your purpose, and your walk with God. When the Bible says “He teaches you all things and brings to your remembrance,”  it means the Holy Spirit reminds you of what Jesus has spoken about who you now are. Many times, you may forget that you are forgiven, loved, accepted, and made new in Christ. The Holy Spirit comes to lift your eyes again to the truth and to silence the lies of fear, guilt, ...

  Romans 8:16  (NKJV) says: “The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God.”   This is one of the most powerful verses in the Bible about who we really are. It is not something we feel only when everything is going well. It is not a feeling that comes and goes. The Holy Spirit Himself, the third Person of the Trinity, steps into our hearts and speaks directly to our own spirit. He says clearly, “You belong to God. You are His child.” This is a divine testimony, a heavenly certificate that cannot be canceled by anyone. He Reveals That You Are a Child of God The moment you believe in Jesus, the Holy Spirit comes to live inside you and testifies directly to your spirit that you belong to God. This is not just a doctrine you learn in church; it is an inner knowing, a deep assurance the Holy Spirit gives you: “You are not an orphan, not a failure, not defined by your past—you are God’s dearly loved child.” The issue of our identity is a controver...
