00584 - He Made Your Mouth To Testify
The power of testimony cannot be overstated. When we use our voices to speak of God's work, we acknowledge His presence and power and encourage others. The Bible highlights the significance of testimony in the spread of the Gospel. Revelation 12:11 (NCV) says, "They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony." Our testimonies and the power of Christ's sacrifice become powerful tools in overcoming darkness and bringing light to others. When we te
00583 - Getting A Focus
The quote "If You Aim At Nothing, You'll Never Miss" highlights the importance of having focus and direction in life. Becoming focused requires setting clear goals and objectives. Without a specific aim, our actions are aimless and unproductive. Proverbs 4:25 (NCV) advises, “Look straight ahead, and fix your eyes on what lies before you.” This verse underscores the importance of concentrating on our path and avoiding distractions that could lead us astray. It's a call to dev
00582 - What Is Your Nine Out Of Ten Day?
A nine out of ten day, for me, has both personal joy and spiritual fulfillment. It might start with quiet reflection, which sets the tone for the day. Ideally, The day would include meaningful interactions with others, whether spending quality time with family and friends or engaging in acts of kindness towards others, echoing the teachings of Jesus about loving and serving others. In Matthew 25:40 (NKJV), Jesus says, "Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of
00581 - Moral Challenges
In a world constantly evolving and presenting new moral challenges, striving to live like Jesus is important. It's about embodying the values of love, kindness, and integrity in all aspects of life, whether in personal relationships, professional endeavours, or social interactions. His teachings and actions consistently reflected compassion, humility, and justice. In Matthew 5:16 (NKJV), Jesus said, "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and gl
00580 - Organise Your Giving
When we give, we participate in God’s work, supporting ministries and causes that advance His Kingdom. This requires discernment to ensure that our resources are used effectively in areas that truly make a difference in spreading the Gospel and helping those in need. Whether it's supporting our local Church or community projects, these interests reflect the diversity of God's creation and our unique roles within it. 2 Corinthians 9:7 (NIV) says, "Each of you should give what
00579 - Books That Will Help You
Books like "Mere Christianity" by C.S. Lewis, "The Cost of Discipleship" by Dietrich Bonhoeffer, "Knowing God" by J.I. Packer and "The Purpose Driven Life" by Rick Warren offer profound insights into the Christian faith, breaking down complex theological concepts into accessible and compelling reading. As 2 Timothy 3:16-17 (NIV) says, "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may b
00578 - Fruit Of The Spirit - Charity
Often equated with love, charity goes beyond feelings; it's about selfless actions and attitudes towards others. Exhibiting charity daily means showing unconditional kindness, generosity, and compassion. This self-giving love is a powerful way to reflect the character of Jesus to those around us. In 1 Corinthians 13:2 (ESV), Paul writes, "And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but hav
00577 - Plan, Plan, Plan
Planning your year with intention and foresight is crucial for setting yourself up for success. Effective planning involves setting clear goals and identifying the steps needed to achieve them, ensuring that each action we undertake aligns with your objectives. Proverbs 16:3 (TLB) says, "Commit your work to the Lord, and then your plans will succeed." It reminds us that while planning is essential, aligning our plans with God's will is paramount. Planning your year is about
00576 - Start As You Mean To Go On
Starting the year as we mean to go on – with a commitment to personal development and spiritual growth will always help build resilience and character. Philippians 3:13-14 (NIV) offers insightful guidance: "Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus." It’s a remind
My Little Office
Before Covid, I had a lovely office near to where I lived. I could walk to work and had everything all in one place, book stock, staff and all the office technology that was needed to work day to day. When Covid hit, a few things happened. First of all we were told we couldn't access our office. Our landords decided we couldn't access our office for six months, while still charging us for rent. I couldn't access my big computer, I couldn't fulfil orders, I couldn't see the pe
00575 - Going Deeper With God This Coming Year
Going deeper with God in the coming year is a commitment to broadening our understanding and practice of faith. This journey involves selecting a particular aspect of our spiritual life – prayer, scripture, service, or another area – and dedicating ourselves to exploring it more thoroughly. Moving beyond a surface-level engagement and immersing ourselves in a focused and intentional way, seeking a richer connection with God. The Bible encourages us to pursue a deeper relation
00574 - Review The Year
As the year draws to a close, it presents an opportune moment for reflection and introspection. It’s a time to celebrate achievements and acknowledge areas where we fell short, understanding that each experience is a step in our faith and personal development journey. Philippians 3:13-14 (NIV) offers guidance in this process: "Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is
00573 - Books Of The Bible - Numbers
The Book of Numbers in the Bible, often perceived as a historical account filled with censuses and laws, can surprisingly be a rich source for building one's faith. This book, part of the Torah, chronicles the Israelites' journey through the wilderness, offering valuable lessons about trust, obedience, and God's faithfulness. Numbers 23:19 (NLT) is written, "God is not a man, so he does not lie. He is not human, so he does not change his mind. Has he ever spoken and failed t
00572 - Brainstorm For The Kingdom
Creatively thinking and planning for new ventures or projects within a Christian context is essential to effective ministry. Harnessing our God-given talents and ideas to further His work, approaching each project with as much dedication and effort as we would in any other area of our lives. Proverbs 21:5 (NCV) states, "Good planning and hard work lead to prosperity, but hasty shortcuts lead to poverty." Not that it’s about money, but a positive outcome. Approaching Kingdom
00571 - I AM Possible
Maintaining a positive attitude in the face of criticism is challenging. It's natural to feel hurt or discouraged when others speak ill of us, but it's in these moments that our faith and character are truly tested. Remembering that we are here because God believed in our possibility. The Bible offers wisdom on handling criticism and negativity. James 1:2-3 (NCV) says, "My brothers and sisters, when you have many kinds of troubles, you should be full of joy, because you know
00570 - The Blessing
"The Blessing" by Kari Jobe is a song that has touched the hearts of many. The lyrics, echoing biblical promises, resonate with the deep desire for God's continued presence and grace in our lives and those of our descendants. The verse, "May His favour be upon you and a thousand generations, and your family and your children, and their children, and their children," speaks to the lasting impact of God's blessings. This promise of generational blessing aligns with the scriptur
00569 - Joy To The World
"Joy to the World" is more than a cherished Christmas carol; it encapsulates the profound joy and hope brought into the world through the birth and life of Jesus Christ. His arrival marked the beginning of a new era when humanity could be reconciled with God. The prophets foretold the life of Jesus, which many witnessed as a testament to God's unfailing love and mercy. In John 3:16 (NKJV), we find the essence of this gift: "For God so loved the world that He gave His only be
00568 - The Expectation Of New Birth
The expectation of new birth, be it in the literal sense or the inception of a new project or Christian ministry, is filled with a profound sense of excitement and anticipation. The beginning of any new endeavour is a time of hope and optimism, looking forward to the possibilities. Isaiah 43:19 (NKJV) says, "Behold, I will do a new thing, Now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness And rivers in the desert." This verse speaks of
00567 - Trust God
Trusting in God is about having confidence in His plan, even when the path ahead is unclear. This trust is not a passive resignation but an active surrender, acknowledging that God’s wisdom surpasses our understanding. Proverbs 3:5-6 (NKJV) encapsulates this sentiment perfectly: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths." By trusting in Him, we allow Him to steer our lives
00566 - Children Value Time
The time we spend with children, nurturing and guiding them, holds immeasurable value, far surpassing any material gifts we can provide. These moments forge deep bonds and cherished memories, laying a solid foundation for their lives. This nurturing presence is essential in their emotional and spiritual development, teaching them about love, empathy, fun and the joys of simple companionship.
