DAILY DEVOTIONAL | August 4th

As Christ’s ambassadors on earth, we are honored and charged with the great responsibility of acknowledging God - the One we represent - and committing the works of our hands to Him. Everything that we do [and the quality that we do it in] and even how we speak reflects our Heavenly Father. We are the hands and feet of Christ and the only “Jesus” that many will see. It’s important that we practice both trusting and asking Him on how to best honor Him in our representation. He loves us and as a result of His agape love for us, it’s His pleasure to guide, help and strengthen us with His righteous right hand (Isaiah 41:10). 

⁣

Yes, it’s Sunday, but every day, it’s the heart of God that we stay connected with Him throughout the day so that He can lead us and give us wisdom. In doing so, we also build up our spirit man. Our relationship with God is the gift that keeps on giving. Put your confidence in Him and rest.

True wisdom comes from God. May godly wisdom and the fruit of the spirit bear witness in our lives so that we are better representatives of Christ in how we interact with and allow the love of God to operate in our lives towards others. Thank you Lord for loving us enough to give us your wisdom and for the privilege of representing you here on earth!⁣

As believers in Christ, we have received a new identity, but have you truly embraced that identity? We belong to God, and our citizenship is in Heaven (Philippians 3:20). Our conversation, values and ways of doing things may appear to be foreign to this world the more we become like Christ and the fruits of the Spirit manifest themselves in our lives.

⁣ 🙌 Rejoice today that your identity is in Christ: you are redeemed from the curse of the law (Gal.3:13)! You are the righteousness of God (2 Cor. 5:21), you are THE healed (1 Peter 2:24), accepted (Ephesians 1:6), you have the mind of Christ (Philippians 2:5-8) and so much more! Meditate on who and Whose you are and your confidence on the authority that you have IN Christ will grow. ⁣

🙌 What is your mind focused on this morning?  It’s God’s desire that we not only trust Him but confidently rest in Him. When we do, we have God’s promise to have his “unbothered”, perfect peace (John 14:27). Redirect your thoughts, if need be, to focus on God’s love for you and on things that are true, honest, just, pure and lovely (Philippians 4:8). Allow God to mold your character and will into one that pleases and represents His kingdom accurately. We can expect God to intervene in our lives and to do great things, so rest and take refuge in Him. HIDE and take shelter IN Him, knowing that when you do, you can STAND boldly and confidently, knowing that He’s got your back. ⁣

There is freedom in Christ, and because of God’s love for us, He’s instead given us love, power and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). God’s Word is Truth and as a result of the authority, power and authenticity of His Words, we can go to Him boldly regardless of what we are facing. We can share our heart with Him and seek direction to the purpose that He has on our lives. We are His ambassadors, and He always welcomes us checking in with Him for guidance and insight on the plans He has for our lives and for guidance in doing so. He loves you and will provide for every part of the assignment. Place all of your confidence in Him and boldly go to His throne. He loves you, and He’s waiting.⁣

🤔 Oftentimes, the path that we are on in life has already been “straightened” for us and sometimes without us even being aware - that’s the kind of good God we serve.He’ll cut down a mountain, smooth out rough ground or even people on our behalf to get us through, and the world will have to sit back and take notice at the way He does it. He will always get the glory. We have access to the Holy Spirit, and He’s our Guide. He desires to order your steps and direct your life (Psalm 37:23), so let Him! When you reflect on all that He’s blessed you with today, also be grateful for the things He’s removed…from your path without you even being aware. You are loved and precious in His sight and the location of both your steps and heart is important to Him. Trust in Him and rest (Proverbs 3:5-6)!⁣

As His children, God has called us to "come out" of the world, its ways and customs and to instead come to and embrace Him. Just like any other good father, He loves us and wants the best for us. He has called us to live a life of holiness and through that lifestyle, we not only honor Him but we distinguish ourselves to the world that we are His children and belong to Him. Not only do we honor God in our physical bodies, but in our conversation, our daily habits and our thoughts. Commit today to let your light shine and to honor your Father in both your deeds and conversations so that the lost might know Him and be drawn to Him.⁣

DAILY DEVOTIONAL | July 26th

We have the privilege of being in the family of God, but be sure that you are constantly doing introspection to ensure that what is closest to your Father’s heart is close to yours. The salvation of the lost man or woman is closest to God's heart, so that should be what is closest to ours. He doesn’t judge others but looks on them compassionately and desires for them to be free from any strongholds in their lives, so we should truly desire that for others too. Rest in His love for you but also pray for the desire for your heart to mirror His. If surgery is needed so that this can be true, God is more than able and willing to perform that as well…just ask Him. He loves you, wants the best for you and we should desire to please Him in all that we do, say and even think in our hearts. Have a blessed day!

We can make our own plans for our lives and even try to influence the plans of others, but at the end of the day, only the plans and purpose that the Lord has ordained for our lives will last (Proverbs 19:21). He establishes and makes our steps sure and steady (Psalm 37:23).Before you were formed in your mother’’s womb, God knew you, and He knew the plans and purpose He had for your life. Only He has the power to solidify your plans, so put your trust in Him and stay connected so that you can receive instruction and "next steps" from Him. He's got you. ⁣

The terminology ‘do not fear’ or ‘fear not’ (dependent on the translation viewed) appears in God’s Word (His love letter to us) about 365 times in the Bible. The frequency that God reminds of this should also remind of us of His love for us and of how important it is to Him that His children not being paralyzed by fear. Our Father is righteous, and He holds ALL power in His hand, and He desires to hold us steady with it. Trust in Him for supernatural strength in your time of need. He will not fail you, so lay your burdens down with Him (fear, worry, anxiety) and pick up His peace and strength. Rest in Him. He is MORE THAN able to strengthen and sustain you.⁣

☀️ Good morning! As you prepare for the day, be sure to reflect on themercy of God. He clearly demonstrated His love and grace through the sacrifice of His Son Jesus. It’s nothing that we did in and of ourselves, but through our salvation in Jesus, we have the freedom to live and walk around justified in God’s eyes. ⁣

⁣

Not only do we have the gift of eternal life, but we have the benefit of having an actual relationship with Him and the privilege of receiving direction and comfort through the Holy Spirit on a daily basis. So, don’t lose sight of the benefits of that relationship. God’s love for you is profound (John 15:13), and He desires for you to live victoriously in life. Just trust Him for direction and favor and be sure to give Him the glory every step of the way. ⁣⁣

Whether in deed or conversation, we as believers have also been entrusted with the great responsibility of properly representing our Heavenly Father. Because the “Greater One” lives inside of us, and we have been called to GO into the world and share of God’s love with the lost (1 John 4:4, Matthew 28:16-20), it’s important to never forget that we may be the only physical sighting of the “Greater One” (Jesus) that some witness.

Daily, we have to make a conscious effort to represent Christ accurately, especially in our conversation. Our words have power and they are often birthed out of the abundance of the content of our heart (Matthew 28:16-20). Ask and trust God for help to use your mouth to glorify Him. It’s our privilege as believers.

God’s love for us would be considered unfathomable by man’s standards. He gave His all and His best for us when He sacrificed His Son (John 15:13, 3:16). He set us apart and brought us out of darkness and into His Kingdom (Jeremiah 1:5, Hebrews 10:10-12), 1 Peter 2:9). He’s given us a new identity in His family and declared us royalty. He’s redeemed us from the curse of the law and remained steadfast in His plans for our lives being carried out in our lives from our very birth. God=Love Receive Him (His love) for you today. ❤️

DAILY DEVOTIONAL | July 20th

Prayer is the privilege that we have as believers to go to our Heavenly Father - the Creator of the universe - and have a conversation with Him. It’s an opportunity to bring our petitions and every circumstances in life to to God and to see how in reality when we match them up to our omnipotent, holy, merciful God how petty our problems are in comparison to Him. It’s our chance to show our gratitude for all that He has done and to walk in faith by thanking Him in advance for what He will do in our future. Have you taken advantage of this “benefit” of your personal relationship with God today? If not, come to Him boldly and with expectancy. He is more than able to fulfill everything that He desires in your life, so put all of your confidence in Him, seek His wisdom, accept His peace and…REST.

🤔 Regardless of whether you felt a little anxious or even weak this morning, 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!⁣

DAILY DEVOTIONAL | July 16th

🤔 Have you forgotten that God has literally given you all that you need to live your life victoriously? The more time we spend “at His feet” and meditating on His Word, we get to know Him better thus making it easier to conform to His ways. He sent His Son Jesus so that you could be reconciled with Him, delivered and set free from any sickness, disease, bondage or baggage. 

⁣

He’s made you MORE than a conqueror (Romans 8:37). He is your protection and covering, so you have nothing to fear (Psalm 91:4). If you need wisdom and direction, you have access to the Holy Spirit - your Helper - and you only have to ask Him (James 1:5). In and through the mighty power of God, you will find the strength you need to fulfill every task before you today (Ephesians 6:10, Philippians 4:13)! So hold your head up and walk humbly and confidently in the divine power that God has been given you!⁣

DAILY DEVOTIONAL | July 15th

Regardless of how intellectually esteemed we or others may deem ourselves to be, it’s imperative for the believer to be totally dependent on the wisdom of God. To put confidence in anything else would be foolish, and the rotten fruits of that poor decision-making and pride will eventually bear witness in our lives.

The Word of God always encourages us to trust God and not to lean to our own understanding, regardless of how knowledgeable we may think we are in the process of our decision-making (Proverbs 3:5-6). God desires to give us “skillful and godly wisdom” - insight that we may not have been privy to otherwise. So, stay connected into your Spiritual Headquarters by praying in the Spirit. It’s your Father’s desire to give you direction and guidance for your life as you seek His will for your life. God’s got your back; put your confidence in Him. Have a blessed Monday!
