To love God is to know Him and to love Him is to walk with Him. It’s God’s heart that know His way and His will for our lives, but in order to do this, we must spend time “walking” with Him. If we desire to please Him, we have to place our faith - complete trust and confidence in Him (Proverb 3:5-6). God will reward those that seek to draw closer to Him. So, focus your energy on not only reading His Word but by stirring up the gift inside of you (2 Timothy 1:6). God loves you and desires for you to know Him better and to trust the direction and plans that He has for your life.

You are anointed, called & set apart for the special use of your Creator! There’s no good deed or task that we have done to qualify for us. Instead, God’s love for us and the sacrifice of His Son Jesus paved the way for it. The Greater One lives inside of you (1 John 4:4) and the Holy Spirit desires to guide you and give you power. Stay connected to the Power Source, so that you are better qualified to be Christ’s ambassadors and to walk victoriously. You are anointed to complete every task before you today. Don’t forget you’re MORE than a conqueror!

🤔 Need strength this morning? Woke up feeling anxious or worried? Well, there’s no need to stay that way. Cast all your cares on God; He is more than capable of handling them! God freely gives His children joy and in that joy they find the strength to face any situation. On top of that, peace is another one of the benefits of being in the family of God (Isaiah 26:3, John 14:27), so be encouraged and take advantage of what He willingly has made available to you. Walk in His peace today and trust that He will give you strength every step of the way. He is all you need. Have a blessed day!

God loves us, and it is His desire that we not only learn His Word (His will), but that we gain a true understanding of the heart behind it. His Word truly restores refreshes our souls (Psalm 19:7). He is faithful to us, and when we familiarize ourselves with what is important to Him, we gain wisdom and peace of mind in the process. In addition, God has given us the Holy Spirit to give us godly wisdom as well. So, it’s important that we keep our hearts pliable so that we are able to gain a better understanding and become better representatives for the Kingdom of God every day. We have the privilege of being His ambassadors. May we never take it for granted every day that we are gifted breath in our lungs. #Grateful

We serve a God who desires to perfect those areas that concern us (Psalm 138:8); and as a result, God - our Father - gives instruction and sometimes even discipline to us because of His love for us. Like any good Father, it’s His desire to grow and get better so that we can serve better as His representatives. So never fret, get dismayed or annoyed at His instruction. One of the worse things in life is for one to go through life thinking you are wise or intelligent, but to viewed any others as foolish. Humility is one of our greatest assets. On God’s part, His “instruction” is a sign of His love. It should spark appreciation in our hearts. We should be honored to learn and receive it [God’s instruction]. SELAH and be sure to give God thanks for His unconditional love for you.

When we accept God’s gift of salvation to us and fully surrender our lives to Him and the leadership of the Holy Spirit, we position God to be able to lead our steps and direct our lives. We are His responsibility, and there is no detail to small or insignificant to Him.
He has a unique purpose for your life and just like the prophet Jeremiah (Jeremiah 1:5), He desires to set you apart for His use. Don’t waste any more time worrying about the affairs of your life; God’s got you and He’s sent the Holy Spirit - your Helper (John 14:26) - to help guide you every step of the way. Rest in Him and in His love for you; listen to your spirit man and trust His guidance in the affairs of your life.

As you contemplate what outfit will qualify as your “Sunday’s Best” this morning, ask yourself this too: how do I really look to God? While our outer adornment is of some importance to God, He is more concerned about about whether or not you are clothed with the gifts of the spirit (Galatians 5:22-23). Let your focus remain (or start anew on) developing and/or deepening your relationship with your Heavenly Father, so that when you look at your reflection [in the Mirror of God’s Word] you’ll see that those fruits have matured in your life and made themselves visible in your character. Pray in the Spirit and “stir up the gift” inside of you. He will give you wisdom, favor and peace throughout the day.

🙌 If God said it, that settles it. You can take His Word to the bank because He cannot and will not lie or deceive you (Numbers 23:19). Oftentimes, because we live in a physical world, the natural response, as to whether God can “bring us out” of a situation is subconsciously weighed in with whether or not someone else (a physical being or human) can “come through” for us. However, it’s important as children of God and ambassadors of Christ, that we make a habit to first go to our Father God, seek and obey His direction and instructions and then place our faith in Him and in the fact that He fights for us.
Regardless of what the circumstances looks like and what man has said or done, why should we waste time and energy exalting the opinions of humans who are as frail as breath, when we serve the the Most High God & Creator of the universe?! He will fulfill every promise that He has given to you. So, give honor and praise to Him in advance for what He will do on your behalf. He is faithful, and He will not let you down. REST in Him and have a blessed day!

Wake up a little concerned about something? The circumstances of this world do not disturb the peace of God; as a matter of a fact, His peace is totally unbothered by the “storms” of this world. Give IT to God and accept His PERFECT peace instead. Let Him know that you accept His peace to your emotional arena. He will give you the strength, courage and confidence that you need to face any challenge in front of you (Nehemiah 8:10, Proverbs 28:1). His peace in yours!

Good morning! Hold your head up king/queen 👑! You are royalty IF you are in the family of God. You are special to God, and He has endowed you with a divine purpose. Just a reminder to stay connected to the Kingdom that you are a part of. God has redeemed us from the kingdom of darkness and translated us into the kingdom of God. You’ve been called for such a time as this (Esther 4:14), so don’t take for granted where God has positioned you as an ambassador of your kingdom (2 Corinthians 5:20). You are special to God, more than a conqueror (Romans 8:37), and you are more than able to accomplish any task before you today.

When we take care of Kingdom business, the “King” takes care of us. Truth be told, our Heavenly Father is such a good Father, He often provides for us even if we’re not. However, if we claim to be in the family of God, and thereby in His Kingdom, then it’s important for us to not lose sight of the fact, that it was a priority to Jesus that we focus on living our lives in a way where we are emulating our Heavenly Father in character, attitude and by our actions. He loves us and it’s His desire that we don’t live our lives anxiously worrying about our earthly provisions. He’s provides for us at every point of our need - physically, financially, emotionally and, of course, spiritually. Keep your eyes fixed on the things of God and watch Him provide for you each and every time. He’s got you!

☀️ What are you facing this morning? Regardless of what it is - good or bad - realize that you are NOT facing it alone. So, the next time a negative thought tries to cross your mind about the “gravity” or weight of the circumstance, re-adjust your thinking and ask [God]: “What are WE facing today?” Your response should be: Romans 8:31 (take a peek). Give it to God and be encouraged; God is with you! Nothing is too difficult for Him. Trust the Holy Spirit for wisdom and guidance and accept His peace (John 14:27). God’s got you!

Our relationship with Christ and our inner transformation [as a result of it] isn’t an automatic process. It’s more like a metamorphosis, similar to the growth of a butterfly. Our minds are renewed “daily” as we grow in the things of God and spend time with Him daily. All so that we can prove and ultimately see and walk in the will of God for our lives. We are in this world but not of it. Our “walking in our divine purpose” from God isn’t a one day commute. It is a path that we travel every day that we are given the gift of air in our lungs.
The more that we focus on the things of God, His precepts, etc. the further we progress down the path of His “perfect will” and allow Him to transform our hearts and minds. Commit today to conform to Him and take advantage of the Helper (John 14:26) that He’s given us in the process. Have a blessed day!

On this day that we celebrate those who are fathers, we also are grateful for those who truly do strive to encourage, comfort and lead their offspring towards the Kingdom of God. Even more comforting is the fact that if we have accepted Christ into our lives, we are privy to a loving relationship with our Heavenly Father, and He is a GREAT Father! It is always His heart to provide all that His children need - spiritually, physically, financially and emotionally (Philippians 4:19); and He know what we need before we ask.
Whether you’ve been blessed to have an earthly father in your life or not, be comforted with the fact that not only is He Father to the fatherless, but His love for you is authentic and it runs deep. He truly does desire the absolute best for you, and to comfort, encourage and lead your life, so let Him!
May God continue to bless those of you fathers that have endeavored to be a blessing, encourage and offer godly inspiration in your children’s lives. May He continue to give you wisdom and favor in all that you put your hands to. #HappyFathersDay
🙌 Our Heavenly Father desires to be near us at all times. He wants to be “in our midst” and to work in and through us daily (John 14:12, Ephesians 2:10, Philippians 2:13). We only have to call His name, humble ourselves and come to Him with a pure and humble heart.
Regardless of where the paths of your feet tread today, determine to commit your life to God and yield to Him for wisdom in your decision-making. When you do, you set the scene for Him to act on your behalf (Psalm 37:5, Proverbs 3:5-6). Rest and have confidence in knowing that today. Have a blessed day.

💪 We can draw our strength from God spiritually and sometimes it can manifest physically. We have the privilege of His boldness operating on the inside of us so that we can we can represent Him properly and share His love with the world. May we rest in the authority and power that we have through the power of His Son Jesus.
