DAILY DEVOTIONAL | November 21st

🙌 🙌 Because of Christ’s sacrifice for us on the cross over 2,000 years ago, we have been brought near to God and made one with Him (v.13-14), even though previously, sin separated us from God. Thank God that He brought the Gospel (the Good News) to us whether we were Jew or Greek. He thought about it, and counted each and every one of us worthy of saving and redeeming from the curse of the Law BEFORE we were even formed in our mother’s womb. Think about it: What great love God has to have for us, right?

Never doubt your worth or value to your Creator. He has shown us time and time again through His Word and through His actions, that we are loved, cherished and the apple of His eye (Zechariah 2:8, Psalm 17:8)! You have access to your Father today through the Holy Spirit. Don’t take it for granted. Stir up the gift and stay sensitive to your Father’s direction today. Have a blessed day!

We were never meant to carry the cares of the world on our shoulders. Release and transfer any burdens and concerns you may have to your Heavenly Father. Not only can He handle the weight of any circumstance in your life, but He can strengthen you and “carry you” as well. He will protect you; and by the direction of the Holy Spirit, He will guide you. He will not allow you to slip. Trust Him and follow His lead. He will never leave you or let you down. ⁣⁣

Thoughts are one of the things that we can hide from others, but they eventually reveal themselves because our thoughts will eventually influence and impact our actions. There’s a reason that God tells us to meditate - to center our minds - on things that are pure, wholesome, confirmed by His Word and honorable; He cares about what is on our hearts and our minds even when others are not aware (1 Samuel 16:7).

So, if you’re struggling with anger, impure thoughts, doubt or even trusting God and building your faith, take a look at what you’ve allowed your mind to focus on. Even strengthening our relationship with God - just like any other relationship - demands devoting time to it and studying His Word. Think on those things that honor God and ask for His help to stay focus on those things. He is not only willing, but He desires to help you (Psalm 46:1). ⁣⁣

Go to God (vs.6) and accept HIS peace today - it’s unfathomable to the human mind! Let it His peace stand guard at the door of your heart and mind against worry, doubts, anxiety, fear, hate, malice, bitterness and anything else that opposes the nature of God or the fruits of the Spirit from operating in your life. ⁣ ⁣⁣⁣Keep your stayed (focused) on Him and have a blessed day today.⁣ ⁣

🙌 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.⁣⁣⁣⁣

God loved us so much that He sent His only Son Jesus to die for our sin. He took the penalty that we had justly placed on us because of the sin nature of mankind. So, if you’ve been abandoned, unworthy, lacking courage, fearful, let this be a reminder of the substitute the Jesus became just for you! He took your sentence, and you have been redeemed (Ephesians 1:7)!

When you became born again, he changed you from the inside out. Not only are you no longer bound by sin (Romans 4:16), but you are victorious and more than a conqueror. You’ve been set apart and marked as His child. You no longer are defined by your previous identity BC (before Christ). You are kings/priests and have the mind of Christ (1 Corinthians 2:16). You have been blessed with the opportunity to be Christ’s ambassadors, so rejoice! Let your actions and attitude reflect your awareness of His love for you. You are loved!⁣

🙏 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 circumstance to God, to see how in reality when we match them up to our omnipotent, holy, merciful God, just 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. ⁣

Tap into your power source today (yes, even over the weekend 😆). You can do that by praying in tongues and by remembering that God will supply you with any and everything that you need to accomplish His purpose: internal or external strength, peace, wisdom and more! Leave any burdens you may have with God, He handle them; just never forget that your sufficiency doesn’t lie in your intellect, your connections or your bank account. You have all that you need in Christ alone.⁣

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. Happy Sunday!⁣

We serve a faithful God, and He holds all power in His hands. He is definitely worthy of our praise, and when we exalt God, we put Him in the proper perspective - above and greater than the circumstance. On top of all that, because He’s a Good Father, He also graces us with favor. Regardless of the circumstance - GOOD or BAD - there is power in our praise. So praise through it! He is MORE than able to bring you through. ⁣

Put your faith in your Heavenly Father and stand confidently in Him. Be strong and allow God to strengthen you so that faith - not fear - will be exalted in every area of your life. You can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens and enables you (Philippians 4:13). ⁣⁣

💪 If it’s emotional strength that you need, He’s got you covered. If it’s spiritual or physical, then He will sustain you. No need to doubt or fear based on what you see.(2 Corinthians 5:7). We’re not moved by our sight realm - only by the Word. So embrace faith and reject fear today. We win with God on our side! #FaithOverFear⁣

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.⁣

👂What have your ears been tuned into lately? It’s important for us as ambassadors of Christ to be tuned into the “skillful and godly wisdom” that only God can provide. An ambassador aims to carry out the wishes of the leadership and country that he or she is representing. So, in the same regard, we should be eager to ensure that we have clear instruction and discernment on how to handle the affairs of our lives instead of yielding to our own intellect (Proverbs 3:5-6). ⁣⁣⁣

🙌 We serve a good God and Father, and He’s more than wiling to - happy to - give us HIS wisdom when we ask Him in faith. So, make sure you stay in tune and in communication with your homeland (the Kingdom of God) and its leader (your Heavenly Father). SN: Praying in the Holy Spirit is the “tuning” device to help ensure your signal is clear.⁣⁣⁣

Children of the Most High God are a part of His family, and their home is the Kingdom of God. They are focused on those things that satisfy the Spirit and obey customs of their “homeland”. As God’s children, we have to keep our minds focused on Him and the things that are a priority to Him. ⁣⁣

Remember His ways are higher than our ways (Isaiah 55:9), so keep your mind set on things that are of a concern for Him. He knows best for you and how it fits into His purpose for your life. #YouAreLoved⁣⁣⁣

We have the privilege of being God’s ambassadors (2 Corinthians 5:20) - His hands and feet here on earth. 👣 So commit to walk in excellence as you complete every task that you put your hands (and feet) to today. ⁣

Our citizenship is in Heaven, and so is our award when we faithfully serve Jesus. Keep in mind that God can and will give you divine insight and guidance on how to accomplish a task more efficiently and effectively. He will give you the right words to say (Proverbs 25:11) for any given situation AND give you favor when and where you need it. So, don’t lose sight of Who you represent. He’s got your back, but it brings Him great joy when you represent Him accurately and allow Him to lead you. #MakeHimProud⁣⁣⁣

DAILY DEVOTIONAL | November 6th

🙌 Good morning, new mercies! God 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! ⁣

Our Heavenly Father loves us, and it’s His desire for His wisdom to flow through our lips on a daily basis. If we will allow Him to, He will put a watch over our mouths (Psalm 141:3) and show us how to answer every man. He will show us how to handle every situation that comes our way today so that we can better represent Him as an ambassador of the Kingdom of God. Rest confidently in the fact that as you honor Him - even with your lips - He will guide and cover you.⁣

DAILY DEVOTIONAL | November 4th

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, keep your heart pliable so that you 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 the breath in our lungs for granted.

The plans and counsel of the Lord are solid - you can trust them! As a matter of fact, you can trust HIM! God’s plans for your life did not begin on the day you were birthed into the world. While He crafted you in your mother’s womb (Jeremiah 1:5), He knew your purpose and the plans He had for your life (Jeremiah 29:11). ⁣⁣⁣

⁣

🙏🏼 When we submit our dreams and plans to our Heavenly Father and obey His guidance instead of our own intellect, His track record proves that He will set the scene to make our plans successful. So, give your plans to God today. Lay them at His feet and wait until you have direction on how and when to move forward. #HeNeverFails⁣⁣⁣

24/7/365 keep your eyes on Jesus. Not only will He give you the strength to follow-through (Philippians 4:13) on any task/responsibilities you have in front of you, but He also perfects your faith to achieve it. Jesus is the ultimate Role Model on what it means to have a goal that you stick too regardless of any level of discomfort of sacrifice because of the end goal and the happiness you will have after achieving it. Trust God for the strength and discipline that is needed, whether they are regarding you walking in your purpose or more practical goals. He will continue to perfect those areas that concern you, just keep your eyes on Him.
