DAILY DEVOTIONAL | November 19th

Like Paul (the author of the book of Galatians), let us commit to being servants and ambassadors of Christ. Regardless of whether we are accepted by man, we can find joy and comfort in the fact that the Creator of the universe has approved you and called you His own. As you represent Him and commit to obeying His will and directions for your life, He will give you the peace, favor and comfort that you need. Let Him lead your life.

DAILY DEVOTIONAL | November 18th

☀️ It’s Monday morning - the beginning of a new week - and most of us have the day pretty much laid out already. Truth is, 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. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

🙌 We have the awesome responsibility and privilege of representing the King of all kings - the Creator of the universe (2 Corinthians 5:20). We are His ambassadors and that means communicating His priorities and passions, with love and truth being at the core of them. ⁣

🤔 When people think of you, do the words mercy, kindness, and truth come to mind? Commit anew and ask for God's help in more accurately demonstrating the heart of God to others. Not only will it make God proud, but it will bring us favor both in His sight and in the sight of others. He’s there to help us, and as the fruits of the Spirit mature and develop in us, we will be more equipped as His ambassadors. He loves you, and you are the apple of His eye (Psalm 17:8).⁣

DAILY DEVOTIONAL | November 16th

Oftentimes, in the process of our decision-making, we unconsciously check in with our intellect and “experience” before we do with the very One who created the brain that curates our intellect and affects our past experiences. He is ALL-knowing and therefore privy to information that you are not. ⁣

So, don’t hastily make important decisions out of anxiety or fear over a lack of time. Our God is the Author of time, but He is not subject to it. So, put your trust in Him and make a conscious effort today to check in with your spirit before moving forward on any serious decision. He loves you and can give you divine insight, wisdom and favor when and where you need it. Trust Him…He’s got you! 🙌⁣

DAILY DEVOTIONAL | November 15th

God wants to lead your life, and one of the ways we allow Him to do just that is to entrust our mind and emotions do Him as well by letting Him take the lead.

Practice praying in tongues today and making a conscious effort to follow this command. It will curate the opportunity for God to speak wisdom to your spirit in different areas before you open your mouth. It may also save you embarrassment, time and resources. God thank you for loving us and thank you for putting a watch over our mouths today (Psalm 141:3) in Jesus name. Amen. Have a blessed day today! #dailydevotional #wisdom #slowtospeak #quicktohear

DAILY DEVOTIONAL | November 14th

Those who put their trust in the Lord can depend on Him for security and protection. He desires to cover you from hurt and harm both physically, spiritually and even emotionally, if needed. In the midst of any tough situations or your enemies, it’s a miraculous think to know that because you have sought safe shelter in your Father inwardly, you can always stand confidently outwardly. ⁣

🤲 Your life is in His hands. So trust those same hands to guide you where you need to go and to provide for whatever He has called you to (Philippians 4:19). He is faithful!⁣

DAILY DEVOTIONAL | November 13th

🙌 Good morning! God has has blessed you with an entirely new set of mercies today. He is faithful and because of His faithfulness,  we can put our hope in Him. He is consistent, and His heart towards us is compassionate. So never tire seeking God’s direction and/or walking in His purpose for your life. If you’ve missed the mark, His grace is sufficient; if you’ve hit it, it’s still only because of His grace. 

Trust your Heavenly Father’s leading of your life (Psalm 23, Isaiah 30:21). Your confidence in Him can be renewed afresh this morning and the next, just like his mercies. He is a good Father!

DAILY DEVOTIONAL | November 12th

Weather, people, politics, emotions, culture, climates, prices and even our own opinions can change from day to day, but our God - the One and only true and Living God is unchanging! Furthermore, His Word = TRUTH (John 17:17). 

⁣⁣

🙏🏼 Go to your Heavenly Father about whatever it is going on in your life today, good or bad, and if you need wisdom or a miracle, have faith in Him! Take the time to study God’s Word so that you know what He has to say about the situation and then stand on that Word because it is final. Let God’s Word have the final say in your life. He loves you and will not fail you!⁣⁣

DAILY DEVOTIONAL | November 10th

Our God is a “finisher”. He completes every task that His hand is upon. He didn’t start calling creation - as we know it - into existence and then give up because He was tired or no longer inspired. Be encouraged that in a similar fashion, the work that God has begun IN you, whether it’s your purpose, a vision that God has given you or even Him helping you to make improvements in your life (Psalm 138:8), He will complete it. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

🙌 He has not and will not give up on you. You can do all things with the help of the Lord (Philippians 4:13) and can complete any task today in Jesus’ name. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣HAPPY SUNDAY!

DAILY DEVOTIONAL | November 9th

It may be chilly this morning, but don’t forget to take a bite of the Word this morning. It will do your spirit well. So, why not start with our “fruit”? 😋 The more we grow and mature in our relationship with God, the more we are able to reject carnality. The “fruit” will be visible to those around us; and as representatives of Christ, it’s important that others know us by our fruit, especially love (John 13:35). 

⁣

Ask God for His help in making sure that you are providing the best “environment” for your fruit to be harvested in. Sometimes, that simply means being aware of what we are exposing our spirit man to (entertainment, unfruitful conversations, associations, etc.). So stay sensitive to the Holy Spirit. The maturation and condition of your fruit depends on it. ⁣

⁣🙌 When the pressures of this world seem to be blowing in our direction , we have only to lean on God - our IMMOVABLE Rock. He steadies our footing and makes our way clear (Psalm 143:10) because He loves us and cares about our well-being and safety. In a spirit of gratitude for that love, we should honor Him through our words and deeds. ⁣

He is a Holy and righteous God, and He cares about what we spend time meditating on (Philippians 4:8). May our thoughts reflect our respect and appreciation for His love, holiness and the sacrifice He made for us through His Son Jesus. Selah.⁣⁣⁣

DAILY DEVOTIONAL | November 7th

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. ⁣

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. ⁣

DAILY DEVOTIONAL | November 6th

🗣Never forget that your words have POWER! Make a conscious effort today to speak life and not death over yourself, your family, friends and loved ones. Let your first words today be ones of thanksgiving to God for the gift of life this morning (1 Chronicles 16:34); but make sure that before you think about the current circumstances of your life - good or bad, you examine what you say, if you should say anything at all. ⁣

Ask God to guard the door of your mouth (Psalm 141:3). You are a child of the Most High God and redeemed from the curse of the law. Speak to your situation and confess positive things over your life. Think on good things (Philippians 4:8), then speak life to your circumstance. Remember again that your words frame your world! Have a blessed day. ⁣

🤔 Have you allowed the cares of this world to rob you of your peace of mind? Regardless of your present circumstance, never forget that God’s peace transcends all understanding (John 14:27). It is unbothered by the circumstances of life. So, keep your mind focused on things that honor your Heavenly Father and be sure to confess today: "I have the mind of Christ! His priorities are my priorities. My future is safe in Him." You can rest and put your confidence in Him.⁣ ☀️⁣

DAILY DEVOTIONAL | November 4th

When our focus is on representing our Heavenly Father well, we will do our best to ensure that our “good name” is intact. How else can we properly represent a God so powerful, faithful and worthy of all of our praises? Ironically, when we have a good name or reputation whether on the job, with a lender or within your respective communities, you are looked upon more favorably and better opportunities will come your way. Oftentimes, the monetary amount of what is saved or given to you when you have the favor of God is on your life is of greater value to you in the end. ⁣⁣

🙏 God, please give us the wisdom, strength and direction to represent you properly in our behavior, deeds and thoughts. Thank you for the favor that you have given us so freely and surrounded us with (Psalm 5:2). We are forever grateful for your love for us.⁣

DAILY DEVOTIONAL | November 3rd

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 thereby making it easier to conform to His ways. He sent His Son Jesus so that we could be reconciled with Him, and so that we could be delivered and set free from any sickness, disease, bondage or baggage.

You MORE than a conqueror (Romans 8:37). He is your protection and covering, so you have nothing to fear (Psalm 91:4). 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 given you!⁣

DAILY DEVOTIONAL | November 2nd

Good morning! Have a request for your Heavenly Father? ✋ Just like the psalmist David, we can give our requests to God and expect that God will answer us. In fact, we can put our confidence in the fact that if those request do please and honor Him, He will not only hear those prayers, but He will also answer them (1 John 5:14-15, Isaiah 65:24, John 14:14) . So, remove any doubt or unforgiveness and ask God to reveal any other potential hindrances. Then wait patiently on God. You can depend on the Lord. He will never fail you! Have a great day!

DAILY DEVOTIONAL | November 1, 2019

NOTHING is too hard for our Heavenly Father. He cannot and will not lie to us. Whatever He has said that He will do. So stand confidently on the promises of God and on the purpose and plans that He’s revealed to you. He will bring them to pass. ⁣⁣

He is faithful and regardless of whether you can see the physical manifestation of those promises yet, trust and believe that God said it, that settles it. Practice agreeing with His Word verbally. Have faith and visualize those things before they come into existence. Ask God for His help to see things the way He sees and desires for you to (Hebrews 11:1. 2 Kings 16:17). He’s got you. Just stay the course and keep your eyes on Him.⁣

DAILY DEVOTIONAL | October 31st

☀️ RISE & SHINE! 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). He is with you and will never abandon you.

We are in spiritual warfare on a daily basis; and your mouth is one of the most powerful tools that you have access to outside of the power of the Greater One living inside of you and your faith in God. So align the words of your mouth with God’s Word because those words will literally frame the world around you. Once and for all, adopt His outlook on any situation that you face and THEN speak, confessing only what God says or thinks. You have the power to change and influence any situation when you lend your mouth and your heart to Him. #HesGotYou⁣
