In Faith
Hebrews 11:1-2 “Faith is the assurance of things you have hoped for, the absolute conviction that there are realities you’ve never seen. It was by faith that our forebears were approved.” (Voice)
Hebrews 11:1 “What is faith? It is the confident assurance that something we want is going to happen. It is the certainty that what we hope for is waiting for us, even though we cannot see it up ahead.” (LB). Now that we know what faith is and how to grow in faith. Read the rest of this entry
Grow In Faith
Psalm 145:13 “For your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom. You rule throughout all generations. The Lord always keeps his promises; he is gracious in all he does”
Hebrews 4:14 “That is why we have a great High Priest who has gone to heaven, Jesus the Son of God. Let us cling to him and never stop trusting him.” (paraphrased). I do not know what you are going through. But I am here to say to you, cling to Jesus. Read the rest of this entry
Faith Is… II
Hebrews 11:11 “Sarah, too, had faith… for she realized that God, who gave her his promise, would certainly do what he said.” (LB).
We know something will happen only when God says it will happen. Hebrews 11:11 “…Abraham trusted that God would keep his promise.” (GWT). Why did Abraham leave his home country and travel to a strange land? It is because God promised. Read the rest of this entry
Build Up – II
Colossians 2:6-7 “Since you have accepted Christ Jesus as Lord, live in union with him. Keep your roots deep in him, build your lives on him, and become stronger in your faith, as you were taught. And be filled with thanksgiving.” (GNT).
Yesterday, we looked at two of the things that can lead to faith becoming weak – Lack of INTEREST and Poor Lifestyle CHOICES. Whenever you change your belief to line up with your behaviour, you short-change your life and your destiny. You are to change, by the power of God, to what God’s ways are.

Build Up – I
Hebrews 11:1 “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” (NKJV)
Faith is basing your life on the truth that God is who He says He is and that He will do what He promised to do. I anchor my whole life with no backup plan, my only plan is a plan A and that is God, plan B God, plan C God, plan D God. I am anchoring my life on the fact that God is who He says He is, Read the rest of this entry
Faith Matters
1 Corinthians 16:13 “Be on guard. Stand firm in the faith. Be courageous. Be strong.”
Whenever the enemy comes at you, life throws challenges at you, and when you are under pressure, it is not about your cars, houses, finances, health, or your children. It is all about your faith. Jesus said to Peter, the enemy wants to sift you all, but I pray that your faith will not fail (Luke 22:31). Read the rest of this entry
Warning!
Matthew 6:14-15 “In prayer there is a connection between what God does and what you do. You can’t get forgiveness from God, for instance, without also forgiving others. If you refuse to do your part, you cut yourself off from God’s part.” (MSG)
We will kick off today’s devotional with our final thought from yesterday. Forgiveness is not about deserving; forgiveness is about preserving. Forgiveness is not about if ‘they’ deserve it or not. Forgiveness is about preserving your own heart so that you do not become a bitter person. Read the rest of this entry
Let It Go!
Luke 11:2-4 “Jesus said, “This is how you should pray: “Father, may your name be kept holy. May your Kingdom come soon. Give us each day the food we need, and forgive us our sins, as we forgive those who sin against us. And don’t let us yield to temptation.”
Jesus is The Door for us to exit from the Prison of Pretending and from the Prison of Unforgiveness. When it comes to asking for forgiveness, you need to humble yourself and ask. Some people are never able to ask for forgiveness. Some never want to say the phrase, “I am sorry”. Read the rest of this entry
Freedom Walk
Psalms 119:45 “And I’ll stride freely through wide open spaces as I look for your truth and your wisdom.” (MSG)
When I was in secondary school, there was that certain someone I wanted to dance with, go out with, take to the school party. I am sure you know what I am talking about. But guess what? Sometimes, that certain someone turns their back on you. So, we were never able to get the girl we wanted. Read the rest of this entry
Dangerous Paths
Proverbs 29:25 “Fear of man is a dangerous trap, but to trust in God means safety.” (LB, emphasis added)
We began to look at the first of three prisons that Jesus wants us to exit from and the first is the Prison of Pretending. When you wear a mask, you are hiding, and you will get increasingly uncomfortable. Wearing a mask can be exhausting as many of us can attest to from first-hand experience during Read the rest of this entry
