Lesson or Blessing? The Kingdom Key of Good & Evil

Lesson or Blessing? The Kingdom Key of Good & Evil

READ | Deuteronomy 30:11-20

I have set before you this day the choices of life and good, and

death and evil (Deuteronomy 30:15).”

We see good in every situation. Every situation and life event that takes place in our lives is good because it is either a lesson or a blessing. “All things work together for good to them that love God to them who are called according to God’s purpose (Romans 8:28).” Like Joseph, we understand that even what people mean for evil God uses for our good (Genesis 50:20).

Good that is not apparent is a lesson. The Good that is apparent is a blessing. The coin is a symbol of this Kingdom Key of Good and Evil. Everything that happens in our lives is like a two-sided coin. A coin has two sides: heads or tails. We can choose heads or tails. Heads is the positive view. Tails is the negative view. Coins can be flipped so that even if it lands on tails, we can flip it to heads.

As stated in today’s scripture, God promised to make us the head only and not the tail. Therefore, when negative thoughts and perceptions come to our minds, we can flip the coin or change the thought to heads or good. Although the coin has a tail side, we choose to focus on the head side. Although evil does exist, it is not our focus.

Hidden Treasure: You Are a Vessel, Not Just an Instrument

I AM Not an Instrument. I AM a Vessel “But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.” – 2 Corinthians 4:7 (KSB) Hidden in Plain Sight The image that Paul presents in 2 Corinthians 4 is that of a treasure hidden within an earthen vessel. In the Old Testament, people didn’t have locks, alarm systems, or cameras to protect their valuables. Instead, their belongings were often left exposed, making them vulnerable to thieves and robbers. To safeguard their most valuable treasures, they would hide them in jars of clay—earthen vessels—placing them in plain sight. A thief or robber would never think to look there because it wasn’t an obvious hiding place. Likewise, God has placed something valuable inside of you—a treasure of great worth. Yet, people often fail to see it. You may be right in front of them, but they don’t recognize your gifts, skills, talents, anointing, abilities, or sensitivities. You are hidden in plain sight bec...

Universe Means One Thing: Love

  Universe Means One Thing: Love "For all the law is fulfilled in this one word, love: Love your neighbor as yourself."   Galatians 5:14 (KSB)    Sometimes, the word “universe” can feel mysterious even spooky to some. Others think it's irreverent or sacrilegious when used in spiritual conversations. But what if we redefined it? What if “universe” simply meant love? What if it meant God, since God is love?  When we say, “the universe,” we can think of it as pointing to one word love. Just one word. The entire Bible, composed of 66 books and written by over 40 different authors, ultimately speaks to one central theme: love. From beginning to end, this divine book points us toward loving God, loving ourselves, and loving others.  In the Old Testament, God's people had 636 laws civil, ceremonial, and moral. They guided everything from relationships to religious festivals. But then Jesus came and said, “Let me make this simple Love God. Love yourself. L...

  The Kingdom is About Growth (Matthew 13:24-30)   The kingdom is about growth, not condemnation, judgment, sin, abomination, transgression, or iniquity. The kingdom of God is about growth. Jesus said it is like wheat and weeds, or "tares," as some versions say. As you grow, once you plant a seed in the ground, you don’t just get what you get; you also get weeds. As you keep growing, you will outgrow any behavior, any way of being, seeing, thinking, speaking, or acting that is not like God; you will outgrow it. Stop trying to pull up the weeds and keep growing. Stop trying to put people out of your life because some of the people you think are weeds are really wheat, and some of the people you feel are wheat might not be. Just keep growing, and it will automatically separate. Jesus said the growth in the kingdom is like a mustard seed. It starts as the smallest seed, but it’s potent. So do not despise the days of small beginnings; keep growing. Don’t compare yourself to a...
