Step outside this Easter weekend and look closely at the world around you. A tulip shouldering its way through cold soil. A bare branch suddenly crowned in pale green. A garden that, just weeks ago, seemed utterly lifeless — now trembling with color and fragrance. Spring is not subtle; it is insistent. It refuses to let death have the final word. “See! The winter is past; the rains are over and gone. Flowers appear on the earth; the season of singing has come.”— Song of Solomon 2:11–12 Long before the first Easter morning, God was writing the story of Jesus’ Read More
God’s Divine Recipe: Trusting His Plan for Your Life
Anyone who enjoys cooking knows that a good meal usually begins with a great recipe. A recipe provides the ingredients, the measurements, and the instructions needed to create the final dish. Without it, the outcome can be unpredictable. In many ways, our lives operate the same way. Just as a recipe guides a cook, God has a divine recipe—a plan—for each of our lives. The Bible reminds us in Jeremiah 29:11: “For I know the plans and thoughts that I have for you,’ says the Lord, ‘plans for peace and well-being and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.” Like Read More
Divinely Contagious: How the Gospel Is Meant to Spread
Did you know that Gospel was meant to be contagious? Jesus never intended the message of the Kingdom to remain contained. The gospel was designed to move, multiply, and spread from person to person—much like a powerful force that cannot be contained. In many ways, the imperative to share the Word of God operates like a virus with a divine purpose: it spreads through contact, transforms those it reaches, and continues multiplying through those who have been changed. Before Jesus ascended into heaven, He gave His followers a clear command: “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations [help the Read More
The Wilderness: A Passage, Not A Promise
After the twelve spies returned from Canaan, ten spread fear and unbelief throughout the camp. That single act of disobedience cost an entire generation their promise. God declared in Numbers 14:34, “According to the number of the days in which you spied out the land… forty days, for each day you shall bear your guilt one year… forty years.” One decision rooted in fear led to decades of wandering. Disobedience will always keep you longer than necessary in a wilderness season. Are you still hanging out in the wilderness—the place of punishment—because you refuse to fully obey God? The wilderness Read More
Stop Looking Back: Life Lessons from Lot’s Wife
There is something dangerous about nostalgia when God has called you forward. In Genesis 19:26, we read one of the shortest yet most sobering verses in Scripture: “But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.” Lot’s wife had been given a clear command—do not look back. God was delivering her family from destruction, yet her heart was still tethered to what she was leaving behind. Looking back was not just a physical act. It was a heart posture. Jesus later reinforced this principle in Luke 9:62: “No one who puts his hand to Read More
Breaking Unholy Covenants: Reclaiming Your Power
God said, “Some of you have made unholy covenants and signed contracts with the enemy. You have given away your power and given access to the enemy. You are now paying the price through sickness ravaging your bodies, mental attacks, stressful financial situations and problems in your marriage and family.” The problem is, you think you are right and have been justifying this behavior. It’s time to break free of those covenants and cancel those contracts. Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal these unholy covenants and contracts to you. He will show you were repentance is needed. There are moments Read More
