Drop It!
Ecclesiastes 12:13 “And, when all is said and done, here is the last word: worship in reverence the one True God, and keep His commands, for this is what God expects of every person.” (The Voice)
Stop beating around the bush and focus on the heart of the matter. Ecclesiastes 12:13 “After all this, there is only one thing to say: Have reverence for God, and obey his commands, because this is all that we were created for.” (GNT). Read the rest of this entry
The Flow
Micah 6:6&8 “With what shall I come before the Lord, and bow myself before God on high? Shall I come before him with burnt offerings… what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?” (ESV, emphasis added).
Like we said yesterday, these three things should work simultaneously. However, if you are to put them in order, it starts in reverse. Read the rest of this entry
Familiarity
Ecclesiastes 1:8 “All things are full of weariness; a man cannot utter it; the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing.” (ESV, emphasis added).
We will kick off today’s devotional with our final thought from yesterday, which flows from our anchor scripture. You cannot see finish (pidgin term for over-familiarity that leads to a loss of respect). Read the rest of this entry
Fourth Watch
Matthew 14:25 “Now in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went to them, walking on the sea.” (NKJV, emphasis added)
Jesus obviously had an evening strategy. You need an evening strategy so that by the fourth watch, you will be walking on water. Read the rest of this entry
Night Vision
Matthew 2:12 “Then, being divinely warned in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed for their own country another way.” (NKJV).
It is a new day. The first thing about a new day is Vision. However, we have established that the break of the day, the appearance of the sun, is not the beginning of the day. Read the rest of this entry
Re
Isaiah 43:1 “But now, thus says the Lord, who created you, O Jacob, And He who formed you, O Israel: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; You are Mine.”
Do you feel like if people really knew you, they would not want to be your friend? Listen, Jesus knows you. Nobody knows you like Jesus does, and Jesus wants to be your friend. Read the rest of this entry
Favour
Psalms 75:6-7 “This I know: the favour that brings promotion and power doesn’t come from anywhere on earth, for no one exalts a person but God, the true judge of all. He alone determines where favour rests. He anoints one for greatness and brings another down to his knees.” (TPT)

Keep Growing
Matthew 5:48 “You, therefore, must be perfect [growing into complete maturity of godliness in mind and character, having reached the proper height of virtue and integrity], as your heavenly Father is perfect.” (AMPC)
When you remain forgiving, content, and loving, you begin to see people through the filter of perfection. The pidgin English saying states, “Monkey no fine but em mama like am“. Read the rest of this entry
Grow Up!
Matthew 5:48 “You, therefore, must be perfect [growing into complete maturity of godliness in mind and character, having reached the proper height of virtue and integrity], as your heavenly Father is perfect.” (AMPC, emphasis added).
My prayer is that you will be more like Jesus tomorrow than you are today. And as beautiful and as perfect as things look today, when you are more like Jesus tomorrow, you will realize that you were not perfect today. Read the rest of this entry
Caution!
1 Timothy 4:12 “Don’t let anyone think less of you because you are young. Be an example to all believers in what you say, in the way you live, in your love, your faith, and your purity.”
