Every Experience Gives Me Life (John 10:10). 

In life, you are going to have tests, trials, and tribulations. You are going to face temptation, headaches, and pain. You will encounter hurdles and obstacles; it’s all a part of life. However, you get to decide how you will respond to the experiences you face. John 10:10 says Jesus mentioned that the thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy, but He wants you to have a life that is more abundant.

So when a difficult situation comes your way, you have the power to decide if it will harm you or if you will allow it to bring you life. Every experience that occurs in your life gives you a choice. Will you become bitter or better? Will you spiral into depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts, or will you learn and grow from the experience? Every experience presents a choice, and I choose life because both options are available. The thief will come, but Jesus also offers His presence. You have the choice of which door to open - the door to the thief or the door to Christ. You can also decide which window to open - the window of the thief or the window of Christ. You have the choice of who you give access and power to in your life and in your heart. Today, I choose life.

I choose to learn from every situation and to receive blessings from each experience. Every encounter in my life is meant to bring me life and blessings; they help me move from mere existence to abundant life. I shall not die but live and declare the works of the Lord, knowing that no person or experience can take away my life.

Refocus Your Faith: How to Overcome Distraction, Disappointment, and Discouragement

  Refocus Your Faith: How to Overcome Distraction, Disappointment, and Discouragement "For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love."   Galatians 5:6 (KSB)    With everything going on around us, it's easy to feel lost. Distractions come quickly, disappointments pile up, and discouragement sneaks in. We all face these moments. But even when we get off track, there is a way back and that path is through our faith, principles, and core values.  When you live your life anchored in principles, it gives you a compass for when the road gets unclear. Knowing your vision, your mission, and your core values makes it easier to realign when life feels out of control. But if you don’t know who you are, how can you get back to being your best self? If you don’t know what you stand on, what can you stand up on after a fall?    Clarity of purpose keeps you ...

  Why Me? God’s Glory (Romans 8:18) Why? That's a question often in our Souls. Why is this happening to me? Why am I having this experience? Why am I facing this health challenge? There's an answer! Why am I having these relationship challenges? There’s an answer, and it’s the same one. Why am I having this financial challenge? There’s an answer! There’s an answer to every question in your Soul, and the answer is glory. The reason for every experience in your life is so that God can get the glory. The purpose of all our challenges is not to bring us down but to transform us and bring glory to God.

Why am I witnessing this miracle, sign, or wonder? So, God can get the glory. Why am I having this challenge in my local assembly, in my ministry, in my business, and in my organization? So God can get the...

There’s a Grace on Your Life

  There’s a Grace on Your Life "By grace you have been saved, through faith and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God."    Ephesians 2:8 (KSB)    In Ephesians chapter 2, one word stands out repeatedly: grace . But what is grace? Grace is God’s unmerited favor, His love poured out on us, not based on anything we've done or failed to do. It’s not about what we think or don’t think. It’s simply a gift. A beautiful, divine surprise.  Imagine receiving an unexpected bonus at work, you did your job, and suddenly you're given more than you earned. That’s grace. It comes when you least expect it and fills you with joy and wonder. This is how God extends His grace freely, abundantly, and lovingly.  Throughout Ephesians 2, Paul highlights how grace is woven into our salvation. “By grace you are saved” means you didn’t do it yourself. Salvation is the awakening in your spirit to the truth that  you are God's beloved .   ...
