May God give you more and more grace and peace. 1 Peter 1:2
Word: “The Role of the Holy Bible in Biblical and Spiritual Transformation”
All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. 2 Tim 3: 16 – 17
Thought:
God wants to show us what is true and equip us to live for Him. Let us read the word of God regularly to discover God’s truth and to become confident in Christ Jesus. When we have confidence in Christ Jesus, we will see the world from God’s perspective. Moreover, we will be looking at life and legacy through the eyes of the LORD Jesus Christ with love, compassion, vision, and kindness.
Sin will keep you from God’s word – God’s word will keep you from sin!
Be strong in the Lord and His mighty power. Ephesians 6: 10
Living for God:
Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen. I Peter 4: 10-11
Thought: God has given us special and unique abilities. We are called to use these gifts for God’s glory, permitting his generosity to flow through us. When we are careful to focus on God’s glory, we can make a significant difference wherever God placed us!
In Christ, we have everything we need for salvation and for living the Christian life. Thank God for what we have received in Christ Jesus.
Proclaiming Jesus Wherever He Leads Us!
Stand firm in Christ
Have a Victorious walk in Christ
Your strength will equal your days. Deuteronomy 33: 25
Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong. Do everything in love. 1 Corinthians 16: 13 -14.
Word: Faith in Action
Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. This is what the ancients were commended for. By faith, we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible. Hebrews 11: 1-3
Thought: Faith involves trust that God is working in the unseen spiritual realm, based upon God’s past actions in the world. Those who want to lead a vibrant and energetic Christian life have always had to live by such unshakable faith, even in the middle of life’s trials (Hebrews 11). God accomplishes his purposes, great and small through the faith journey of His people. As we trust him with every aspect of our lives, he will accomplish his will for us. In Christ, we have everything we need for salvation and for living the Christian life. Thank God for what we have received in Christ Jesus.

Your strength will equal your days. Deuteronomy 33: 25
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15: 13
Word: For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. Colossians 1:13-14
I have refined you, though not as silver; I have tested you in the furnace of affliction. Isaiah 48:10
Fire tests the purity of silver and gold, but the Lord tests the heart. Proverbs 17:3
Thought: The born-again Christian’s most powerful resource is communion with God through prayer and living in the presence of God.
Prayer gives – power to the powerless, hope to the hopeless, and strength to the strengthless!
God will answer your Christ-Jesus-centered prayers in mysterious ways. Have a Victorious walk in Christ

Word:
For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life.1 Thes 4:7
But it is the spirit in a person, the breath of the Almighty that gives them understanding. Job 32:8
The Spirit of God has made me; the breath of the Almighty gives me life. Job 33: 4
“Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man. People were eating, drinking, marrying, and being given in marriage up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all. It was the same in the days of Lot. People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building. But the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all. “It will be just like this on the day the Son of Man is revealed. Luke 7: 28-32
For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost. Luke 19:10
Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with Godthrough our Lord Jesus Christ. Romans 5:1
I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. John 10:10b
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15: 13
Word:
1 In the days when the judges ruled, there was a famine in the land. So, a man from Bethlehem in Judah, together with his wife and two sons, went to live for a while in the country of Moab. 2 The man’s name was Elimelek, his wife’s name was Naomi, and the names of his two sons were Mahlon and Kilion. They were Ephrathites from Bethlehem, Judah. And they went to Moab and lived there. 3 Now Elimelek, Naomi’s husband, died, and she was left with her two sons. 4 They married Moabite women, one named Orpah and the other Ruth. After they had lived there about ten years, 5 both Mahlon and Kilion also died, and Naomi was left without her two sons and her husband. 6 When Naomi heard in Moab that the Lord had come to the aid of his people by providing food for them, she and her daughters-in-law prepared to return home from there. Ruth 1: 1-6
Christ Jesus-centered decision makes us who we are!
Choose life in Christ Jesus! Instead of asking God to bless your plans, ask God to plan for you and your family, and your ministries. Please God always! He will never put our face in shame! May God give us the discerning Spirit and His wisdom to make the right choices at the right time.

Strongholds are defined as “something” that holds you back from your walk with the LORD Jesus Christ. What is holding you back from receiving spiritual, emotional, or physical blessings?
According to the Word of God, it is possible to cast down the strongholds in Jesus’ name. In Luke 10: 20 says Jesus says “However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”
2 Corinthians 10:3-5 says,
For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh, for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ.
Let us do some self-analysis in the presence of God and make wise choices in our walk with the LORD. Whether we like it or not we are in the battle (Ephesians 6). Let us put on the full armor of God and fight the good fight.
Hebrews 12: 1-3, says that, therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer, and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him, he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.
“Fix your eyes on Jesus” – In any race there will be two important persons among many other people. Firstly, the starter – the person who says on your mark, set, go, and then the referee – the person who receives you at the finish line and gives the first place, second place, or third place cards. Remember in our Christian run LORD Jesus is running with us, and He knows how to carry us through the storm. We need faith and faith can move the mountains.
Our security is based on God’s unshakable love for us. God proved His love for us by willingly sending His Son to suffer and die. There is nothing in the whole universe that can separate us from God’s love! What more could God say to us to make us more secure in His love?
Prayer For the Day:
I look at my dedication to you, Jesus,
my Lord, and Savior, and am ashamed – you gave.
everything for me. May I always live totally committed in love to you.
Word: I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.
Thought: A believer does not focus on today’s sufferings; he looks forward to tomorrow’s glory. When our faith is strong in Christ Jesus, we tend to be optimistic because our hope is in the living God who holds our future.
Revival is an experience in the Church; Evangelism is an expression of the Church – Paul-S. Rees.
