DAILY DEVOTIONAL | November 27th

No need to fear, to wallow in bitterness, strife or anger OR to worry when we’ve got the Lord of Hosts on our side. Let God work out THE situation, whatever it is, and allow God’s peace to soothe your mind, heart and emotions. ⁣

💪You are in the Army of the Lord, and the battle that we are in is not physical, but spiritual. So stay focused on the assignment that what God has called you to, remember the REAL enemy and make sure that you are dressed for battle at all times (Ephesians 6:10-18). Keep your peace and smile. The Lord fights for US! ⁣⁣

DAILY DEVOTIONAL | November 26th

You can tell from David’s reflections in the twenty third psalm that He was convinced that the Lord desires to lead His children every step of the way in our personal lives. Shepherds LEAD their flock every step of the way. The Good Shepherd LEADS us beside peaceful streams (He doesn’t want us anxious or to fret about anything; He wants us to rest IN Him. Philippians 4:6). He GUIDES you and directs your steps to walk in the will and purpose that He desires for your life (Psalm 37:23). Even when we may find ourselves going through tough times or in the presence of company that is ill willed against us, our Good Shepherd gives us perfect peace and never leaves our side (John 14:27)!

God desires to not only lead your life not only for your benefit - though He desires good for you (Psalm 139:17) - but also so that He gets the glory and more men & women are led into the Kingdom as a result. Find comfort in His love for you today and don’t forget to stir up the gift by praying in tongues throughout the day. That’s one of the key ways He LEADS you on a daily basis and not just with big life decision but with the day-to-day ones. He will give you the words to say, how and when to say them, tell you who to speak to, who not to and even what to do. Allow Him to lead you into this blessed Monday morning and the remainder of your work week. #RestINHim

Let’s stay focused and keep our eyes on the PRIZE, saints. He doesn’t want us to waste time being anxious over the care of this world. Our attitude and character should mirror our Fathers. So “seek” after the Kingdom of God and His ways, and He’ll provide (Philippians 4:19). Come against worry and fear in the name of Jesus! You are in His hands and when you busy yourself with His business (Kingdom business), He’ll take care of yours. Release it to God and REST in Him. Happy Wednesday!

DAILY DEVOTIONAL | November 24th

🙌 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 on this #TerrificTuesday!⁣

DAILY DEVOTIONAL | November 23rd

☀️🙌 HAPPY MONDAY! This is the day that the Lord has made, we will REJOICE and be glad in it! We’ve been blessed with a brand new week: don’t give up on your dreams and the promises God has made to you! Keep pushing, keep obeying and patiently enduring every test and trial that may come your way. His plans for your life are great, and He has called you to use the gifts and talents that He’s given you for such a time and for His glory (Jeremiah 29:11, 1:5; Esther 4:14).

⁣Don’t sell yourself short in walking in God’s will for your life. Let Him continue to perfect those things that concern you (Psalm 138:8). Keep your faith active and your words aligned with His [Word]. He is faithful (Hebrews 10:23)!⁣

DAILY DEVOTIONAL | November 22nd

What a great privilege we have to approach the throne of our Heavenly Father! It’s only by His grace. Grace refers to one receiving something that is undeserved, and the greatest example of this undeserved mercy is the free gift of salvation we have in Jesus Christ. Aren’t you glad that it doesn’t stop there? ⁣

God loves us unconditionally, and though there is nothing we can do to qualify ourselves for that privilege, it is His desire that we come to Him to lay our burdens down at His feet and humbly seek His wisdom and guidance for our lives. At that throne [of grace], He gives us timely blessings and provision for laying down our will and desires and picking up His. So reject anything (emotion, thought or person) who seeks to hinder or discourage you from coming to your Father! Your victory is in your prayer, praise and obedience to God. So go to Him boldly and with expectancy. He loves you, and He’s waiting.⁣

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. ⁣⁣

DAILY DEVOTIONAL | November 19th

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.⁣

DAILY DEVOTIONAL | November 13th

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.⁣

DAILY DEVOTIONAL | November 9th

👂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.⁣⁣⁣

DAILY DEVOTIONAL | November 8th

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⁣⁣⁣
