Troubles do not have the final say in our lives, our new life in Christ does. That is why Romans 6:11 (MEV) says, “Likewise, you also consider yourselves to be dead to sin, but alive to God through Jesus Christ our Lord.”

For if we have been united with Him in the likeness of His death, so shall we also be united with Him in the likeness of His resurrection, Romans 6:5 MEV Sin is the root cause of all the troubles we experience in this world. But through Christ’s death, the price for our sins has been fully paid, and we have been set free from the troubles they bring. Just as we were united with Christ in our brokenness through His death, we are now united with Him in His new, trouble-free lif

How far has the Lord taken our sins from us? 🤔 Farther than the distance from east to west! Hence our distress was spiritually separated from us farther than the distance from east to west Psalms 103:12

I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. Ephesians 1:17 NIV During a childhood masquerade initiation, we had to dance before two masquerades. The tall, fierce-looking one didn’t flog us, but the smaller one beat us harshly, so we ran away. Later, our mother told us that our father was inside the tall masquerade. Knowing this, we returned confidently to continue

He predestined us to adoption as sons to Himself through Jesus Christ according to the good pleasure of His will, to the praise of the glory of His grace which He graciously bestowed on us in the Beloved. Ephesians 1:5-6 MEV Beloved, if we were designed by our performance, then we are limited. But if God designed us by His grace, our life is His treat, then we are boundless! We are already chosen for the praise of His glorious grace He bestowed upon us in Christ Jesus. Just a

In John 14:16 the Lord said, “And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper.” We do not rate His ever present help by sight for He is Spirit, and the spiritual realm precedes the natural

Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. James 4:7 ESV God does not resist the enemy for us, rather He has given us the authority to resist him. Though we live in this world, we are not of the world, we live in the kingdom of light of God's own Son, a holy kingdom. The enemy cannot operate there. Obadiah 1:17 says, “ In mount Zion, there shall be holiness.” Devil is not holy, so he can't come there. The enemy’s strategy is to draw us d

Beloved, when we live by the Word of God, regardless of economic downturns or the darkness around us, we become like a bush engulfed in flames yet never consumed. Isaiah 60:2 ESV says,” For behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and thick darkness the peoples; but the Lord will arise upon you

Words from the wise are like sharp goads. When these sayings are written down and saved, they can be used to guide people, just as a shepherd uses a sharp stick to make his sheep go the right way. Ecclesiastes 12:11 ERV Just like companies follow a business model to stay profitable and grow even during tough economic times, the Word of God serves as our blueprint for living victoriously despite the brokenness of the world. John 1:4-5 ESV says, “In him was life, and the life w

Let's never look at our troubles and conclude that God has forsaken us, for he is leading us by His mercy. Exodus 15:13 NLT says, “With your unfailing love you lead the people you have redeemed. In your might, you guide them to your sacred home.’ Let us trust His track record.

they shall not hunger or thirst, neither scorching wind nor sun shall strike them, for he who has pity on them will lead them, and by springs of water will guide them. Isaiah 49:10 ESV Our theme verse does not promise that we will always have abundance in this fallen world; rather, it assures us that we will not hunger or thirst. It does not say that the scorching sun or wind will not come, but it declares that they will not strike us. This is not by our performance or streng
