"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." Ephesians 2:8–9 As Christmas approaches, many people ask, “Is there a gift for me?” We look under trees, wait for packages, and anticipate surprises. Yet the greatest gift ever given is not wrapped in paper or placed beneath a tree, it was wrapped in swaddling clothes and laid in a manger. The Apostle Paul reminds us in Ephesians 2:8–9 that s

Renewed Hope in God This Christmas According to a November 28, 2023 study by Dean Talbot of the WordsRated Report, on average, a person hears between 20,000 and 30,000 words per day. This translates to approximately 20 to 30 words per minute during waking hours. Imagine how many times we hear phrases like, “I hope I get this or that for Christmas.” Based on this average, such a phrase could be heard 20 to 30 times in a single day. The repetition of these words reminds us that

Good News in Troubled Times When we turn on the news today, much of what we see echoes the words of Matthew 24: wars and rumors of wars, nations rising against nations, famines, pestilences, earthquakes, betrayal, deception, and love growing cold. These are indeed the “beginning of sorrows.” Families wrestle with division, governments struggle with corruption, churches face challenges, and workplaces are filled with stress and uncertainty. It would be easy to lose hope in suc

GRATITUDE IS OUR CALLING, THE POWER OF THANKSGIVING “In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.” — 1 Thessalonians 5:18. This verse doesn’t say “give thanks for everything,” but “in everything.” That means even in hardship, uncertainty, and waiting, we are called to give thanks, not because the situation is good, but because God is. Thanksgiving is more than a holiday, it is a holy posture. In a world filled with complaints, compar

In a world that often magnifies what’s missing, gratitude is a sacred discipline that magnifies what remains. The question, “What are you thankful for?” is not just a prompt for reflection; it is a call to spiritual alignment. Scripture reminds us, “In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.” (1 Thessalonians 5:18). Giving thanks is not reserved for moments of abundance or ease. It is a command that transcends circumstance. It is t

Let love lead the way in everything you do. In a world quick to expose faults, replay offenses, and rehearse division, the Word of God calls us to a higher standard, love that covers, love that restores, love that protects unity. Proverbs 17:9 reminds us that true love does not delight in broadcasting wrongs but seeks reconciliation. When love leads, we choose mercy over judgment, silence over gossip, and healing over harm. Love is not weakness, it is divine strength. It is t

No matter the season of life, whether joy overflows or burdens weigh heavy, prayer is the anchor of the soul. It is not bound by circumstance, nor silenced by struggle. Prayer is the believer’s lifeline, the sacred conversation where heaven bends low to hear the cries, whispers, and praises of God’s children. It is written, “Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.” — Philippians 4:6. Pra

We are all called to give thanks. Not just when things are good, but especially when they are not. Giving thanks is not optional, it is commanded. “In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.” (1 Thessalonians 5:18). We are supposed to do it. We are expected to do it. We are instructed by heaven to do it. Take a moment and sit down. Turn on the news. Look around. Matthew 24 is unfolding before our eyes, wars, famines, earthquakes, b

“I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied.” Jeremiah 23:21 Today is Tuesday, November 4th, 2025, and I am sitting in my office, watching the calamities on the news unfolding around us, locally, nationally, and internationally, I was moved to immediate intercession. As the news cycled from one issue or crisis to the next, I am reminded of a message from my 2020 archives titled, “WHOSE VOICE ARE YOU LISTENING TO?” BELOW YOU W

Faith is not wishful thinking, it is divine assurance. It is the spiritual anchor that holds us steady when the winds of life howl and the waves threaten to overwhelm. Faith is the unseen bridge between our present pain and God’s promised peace. It is the quiet confidence that God is still sovereign, even when chaos surrounds us. Faith matters now more than ever. These are days of shaking, political unrest, economic uncertainty, moral confusion, and spiritual warfare. Hearts

Remove the Tape, Your Voice Is Anointed to Speak Psalm 81:10 “Open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.” Just a few days ago, I traveled out of state for a ministry engagement.

When it was time for preboarding, I was in line, prepared and patient. But then, someone stepped in front of me and others, with a tone of entitlement
