The Bishop’s Mind: Christian Wisdom, Daily Devotionals & Empowering Messages for Kingdom Living

  Let Them (Revelation 22:11) "Let the one who does wrong continue to do wrong; let the vile person continue to be vile; let the one who does right continue to do right; and let the holy person continue to be holy." – Revelation 22:11     Kingdom Principle: Divinity, Divine Nature  Let Them!    In creation, when Divinity formed humanity in the divine image and likeness, dominion was granted over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, and every living creature that moves upon the earth. This foundational truth echoes from Genesis and reappears powerfully in Revelation chapter 22.    These two simple yet profound words  “let them”  invite people to redirect attention inward. Rather than attempting to manage, fix, or control others, this kingdom principle calls for responsibility over one’s own thoughts, words, and actions , while releasing others to their own divine process.    Firstly: Right...

  It’s All About the Water (Revelation 22:1) "Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb." – Revelation 22:1    Water is essential to life. The human body is made up of nearly 70% water, and the earth itself is covered by approximately 70% water. Many health challenges are linked to dehydration headaches, joint pain, muscle fatigue, and weakened bone function often result from a lack of proper hydration. Blood pressure may improve with adequate water intake, and even blood sugar levels can be positively affected when the body is properly nourished with water.    Water itself is formed from hydrogen and oxygen, two elements working together in perfect balance. In the same way, spiritual life flows from divine harmony . Spiritually speaking, the water of life flows from the Word of God and the Spirit of God . We access the Word daily through Scripture, and we con...

  You Got the Power! What Are You Going to Do With It? (Revelation 17:13) "They have one purpose and will give their power and authority to the beast." – Revelation 17:13 (KSB)    You have the power. The real question is this: what are you going to do with the power you have? Revelation 17:13 reminds us that power is always being directed somewhere. Power is never neutral, it is either being used intentionally or given away unconsciously.    Understanding spiritual power begins with recognizing its source and purpose. Scripture reveals profound truth when broken down and applied with wisdom. Firstly: God Is All Power    God is not merely powerful  God is all power . God embodies omnipotence. This means that any power that exists anywhere comes from God alone. There is only one source of power, and that source is divine.    If anyone has power, it is because God has given it. There is no separate stream, ...

  Break It Down (Revelation 17:18) "The woman you saw is the great city that rules over the kings of the earth." – Revelation 17:18 (KSB)    God speaks through many vessels, channels, resources, and representatives. He speaks through preaching, teaching, reading, and writing. Whenever understanding is lacking, there is an open invitation to ask God to break it down .    Scripture affirms that if anyone lacks wisdom, they may ask God, who gives generously to all without holding back. Ask, and it shall be given. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and the door will be opened. God is not withholding clarity; He is inviting participation.    In moments of uncertainty whether in classrooms, conversations, sermons, or personal revelation, it is wise to ask questions. Often, others share the same confusion but hesitate to speak. When one explanation does not bring understanding, ask for another perspective. In this information age, wisdo...

  Identity Is Victory! (Revelation 17:14) "They will wage war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will triumph over them because he is Lord of Lords and King of kings—and with him will be his called, chosen and faithful followers."    Revelation 17:14 (KSB)    Identity is victory. No one can truly experience victory until they understand who they are. Likewise, no one can overcome until they know whose they are. Triumph is impossible without a clear awareness of identity.    When feeling defeated, return to the truth that you are a spiritual being living in a spiritual universe governed by the spiritual law of love. When feeling deflated, return to the truth that you are a unique, unrepeatable expression of God. When feeling like a failure, remember that you are created in the image and likeness of God. When feeling unsuccessful, affirm that you are perfect, whole, and complete  with nothing missing, nothing broken, and nothing out of p...

  WHAT HAPPENED FOR 1,000 YEARS? – Revelation 20:6 "Blessed and holy is the one who partakes in the first resurrection. The second death has no power over such a one. They will be priests of God and of Christ, and will reign with Christ for a thousand years." – Revelation 20:6 (KSB)    There is divine timing in the Universe, and everything unfolds exactly when it is meant to. No one is ahead of the Divine or behind the Divine. Humanity moves in perfect rhythm and alignment with divine order, even when it appears otherwise.    Revelation 20 invites us to see time not merely through human measurement, but through spiritual awareness. The thousand years speak of a sacred process revealing the reign, power, and presence of the Divine. 1. Like a Day: Divine Time Revealed    A thousand years may not be a literal measurement of time. Scripture reminds us that a thousand years in the sight of the Divine are like one day, and one day li...
