I must be completely honest. Sometimes, I really want to ‘clap back’ at certain people. Lately, it’s been a daily struggle. To ‘clap back’ at someone means to respond to criticism or an insult with a sharp, witty, and effective comeback. Yet I must remember what the Apostle Paul said in 1 Corinthians 15:31, “I die daily.” As I thought about this scripture, I decided I wanted to write a book entitled “I Died More Than Once Today.” The premise of the book is this: A transformative exploration of what it truly means to “die daily” as a follower of Read More

Go Home: An Act of Faith
Faith often requires movement before manifestation. In John 4, Jesus encounters a nobleman whose son is near death. The man’s desperation brings him to Jesus, but what happens next teaches us a powerful lesson about believing before seeing. “Go home” wasn’t just a direction — it was a declaration of faith. Jesus didn’t need to be physically present to heal. His Word was enough. When we believe His Word, even before the manifestation, we position ourselves for divine results. Main Passage: John 4:46–54 “So Jesus came again to Cana of Galilee, where He had turned the water into wine. And there Read More
Come to the Garden
Come, let us enter this sacred space together. Picture yourself walking into a quiet garden where Jesus waits for you – perhaps like the Garden of Gethsemane, where He often went to pray, or the garden tomb where resurrection life broke forth. Scripture Foundation: “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.” – Matthew 11:28-29 “Remain in Me, and I [will remain] in you. Just as no branch can Read More

So why should we as Christians celebrate this Jewish holy Read More
TRUST: Receiving the PROMISE
Trust in God’s promise to do exactly what He said He would do. He will never fail you. Some of you need to ‘pack a box.’ God gave you a word (a covenant promise), and you still have not seen the fulfillment. Are you starting to doubt that you heard correctly? If you want something you have never had, you need to do something you have never done. If God told you the ‘house you wanted was coming’ and you still have not started packing, you need to ‘pack a box.’ Do something, by faith, to show that you have confident Read More
Beyond Human Understanding: God’s Gift of Wisdom
Job 28:20–28 offers a powerful reminder about the source of true wisdom. In the midst of deep suffering, Job reflects on humanity’s ability to uncover the earth’s treasures—yet acknowledges that true wisdom cannot be found through human effort alone. It belongs to God and is revealed to those who fear Him. Wisdom begins not with knowledge or achievement, but with a reverent heart that seeks and trusts the Lord. Just as a flower begins with a seed hidden beneath the soil, Godly wisdom begins in the quiet place of reverence—the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. At first, there Read More
