God Rewards Obedience
Scripture “Now if you obey me fully and keep my covenant, then out of all nations you will be my treasured possession…” (Exodus 19:5, NIV) Word Sometimes God asks us to do things that don’t make sense.

Give Life to Your Faith
Scripture “…faith without works is dead.” (James 2:20, NKJV) Word Are you giving life to your faith?

Faith Opens the Door
Scripture “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” (Hebrews 11:1, KJV) Word Do you desire to see more of God’s favor in your life today? Faith is what opens the door to favor. The Scripture tells us that faith pleases God. It also gives substance to the […]
When You Feel Buried
Scripture “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain.” (John 12:24, NKJV) Word We all face difficulties and challenges in life. But you have to remember, as a believer in Jesus, you have the life-giving […]

And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation.” (Romans 5:3–4, NLT) Word The way you handle adversities has a huge impact on your success in life? If you […]

Good Sense

Maybe you had plans that didn’t work out, or someone was rude to you at the office. Maybe you […]
