Dear Partner,
This is a time to walk by faith. Not to be led by what you might see with your eyes. God sees victory very differently than we do. We see victory as the big finish, the trophy, the multitudes of people chanting our name or something like that. But there is a thing called an unseen victory. It is a victory that many people overlook, and sometimes deem as a complete failure. If you are led by what you see, you would have to conclude failure at crucial times in life. If you…

"...as you hold out the word of life--in order that I may boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor for nothing."
(Philippians 2:16)
So many people rush through life, speed through personal devotions, and pray with one eye open and glued to the clock. But there is no excuse for you to feel life should speed by like a flash of light! It is…

There is no adverse circumstance in my life that I cannot overcome with the God-kind of faith.
The whole of the New Testament, after the Gospels, has this one object: to get Christians to go on, and to go on to full growth -- into their eternal vocation -- their heavenly calling (the purpose of God for their lives). - T.…

"I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe" (Eph 1:18-19).
Paul's letter to the Ephesians exhorts believers to experience three important things in their spiritual lives that he experienced personally. As a good mentor, he desires those he is leading to follow his example.
First, God wants you to have…

But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and THINGS THAT ACCOMPANY SALVATION, though we thus speak. For God is not unrighteous to forget your WORK and LABOUR of LOVE, which ye have showed toward his name, in that ye have MINISTERED to the saints, and do MINISTER. And we desire that every one of you do show THE SAME DILIGENCE to the full assurance of hope unto the end: That ye BE NOT SLOTHFUL, but FOLLOWERS of them who through faith and patience INHERIT the promises. (Heb…

4 A little girl stood near a small church from which she had been turned away because it was 'too crowded.'I can't go to Sunday School,' she sobbed to the pastor as he walked by.
Seeing her shabby, unkempt appearance, the pastor guessed the reason and, taking her by the hand, took her inside and found a place for her in the Sunday school class. The child was so happy that they found room for her, and she went to bed that night thinking of the children who have no place to worship…

A vision is a picture of the future.Without a vision people perish.A vision gives direction,it's the leader's compass.A vision produces passion and power.When we lack vision,we live carelessly and aimlessly.Without vision,we become imitators and we try and err.Leadership is taking people from the past to the future.A leader has the eye of an eagle,he sees far and wide.Vision gives focus and aim.A leader without vision is like a flood that destroys.A flood is a river that doesn't know where its…

THE GOOD TREASURE IS THE WORD. SO FROM THE WORD OF GOD DEPOSITED IN MY HEART, I BRING FORTH GOOD THINGS.
MY HEART OR MY SPIRIT, IS LIKE A BANK. WHATEVER I PUT INTO MY HEART IS MY DEPOSIT. MY WITHDRAWALS ARE MADE WITH MY MOUTH, BY MY MAKING THE PROPER CONFESSION BASED ON THE WORD THAT'S IN MY HEART.
THE DEPOSITS I HAVE MADE INTO MY HEA...RT CAN BE LOOSED OUT OF MY MOUTH BY FAITH. IF WHAT I AM SPEAKING IS FAITH IN THE WORD, GOD WILL CAUSE GOOD THINGS TO BE…

Choices!
The man who loves his life will lose it, while the man who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.
John 12:25 NIV
All that we embrace has an immensely significant level of importance to us. We plan, prepare for and pursue with purpose what we believe to be best for us. It is amazing how the Lord allows us to do what we want to do all the way up until the appointed time of destiny. It is at that point we are called…

Matthew 5:3 - Blessed are the poor in spirit: for their's is the kingdom of heaven.
We empty our souls, and seek to be filled with the attitude of Christ, which is a sure wellspring -- unending, and brimming with life eternal. We count all that the proud flesh desires as worth less than nothing.
Philippians 3:8,9 - I reckon everything as complete loss for the sake of what is so much more valuable, the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord. For His sake I have thrown everything…

"You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in
vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes
His name in vain."
— Exodus 20:7
Commandment number three of the Ten Commandments tells
us not to take God's name in vain. The words "in vain"
mean empty, idle, insincere, or frivolous. So to take
God's name in vain means to say it in a way that is
empty, idle, insincere, or frivolous. And one of the
most obvious ways this is done…

I pray that we stop running from the challenge to change. Allow ourselves to believe that we can become all that The King has destined us to become. I’m going to need for us to make those changes that our King has been requiring of us. I’m going to need for us to get our priorities straight by seeking the Kingdom and put the King and His Kingdom first. And then I’m going to need for us to seek Him until we sweat and lose 10 pounds of unnecessary spiritual weight. I’m going to need for us to get…

Holy Scripture: I may speak in different languages of people or even angels. But if I do have love, I am only a noisy bell or a crashing symbol. 1 Corinthians 13:1
My Precious, Precious Children;
Have you heard the voice of love? Love speaks ......softly, gently, sometimes even silently. Love will not get into a shouting match with the arrogant voices of this noisy world!! It moves quietly through the day, meeting needs without a lot of fanfare (a big deal, trumpets…

7 REASONS WHY THE MAN WITH ONE TALENT FAILED?
Matthew 25:25-27
Then the one who had received the one talent came and said, ‘Sir, I knew that you were a hard man, harvesting where you did not sow, and gathering where you did not scatter seed, 25:25 so 25 I was afraid, and I went and hid your talent in the ground. See, you have what is yours.’ 25:26 But his master answered, 26 ‘Evil and lazy slave! So you knew that I harvest where I didn’t sow and gather where I didn’t…

As God brings us into a new season, it’s crucial that we prepare our hearts for change. As we set our hearts on pilgrimage (Ps. 84:5), I’ve come to the realization that God doesn’t have the phrase “That’s good enough” in His vocabulary. He is constantly processing us for a more authentic representation and expression of Him upon the earth. These changes may not always be fun, but are absolutely necessary for our own good and that of His Kingdom.
Consider, from time to time, lobsters have…
