When God elevates us, it is for His glory, not for our fame. In this episode, we’re exploring the example of Daniel in the Bible. He was often brought before kings and favored with a good reputation of hearing the voice of God. He was celebrated for his strong prophetic insights, intelligence and wisdom. But he never let the praise get to his head. Daniel’s devotion was to the one true God. May God empower us to approach our influence in a similar way.

God wants to free us from addictive and destructive behavior patterns. Getting free and staying free doesn’t have to be a guessing game. We can go into it with a strategy for victory.

A prayer for my brothers in Christ. A call to arise and reach for their highest calling. Let this word break every unholy bondage that has been holding them down.

WHAT IS MARRIAGE: Our marriage is a reflection of God’s love for us. We know what love is because Christ loved us first. Let’s look at how He’s shown us love:

Seeks the highest good for us and surrounds us with a caring, unselfish love

Sanctifies us

Makes us holy [set apart for God]

Nourishes, protects and cherishes us

Always seeks the best for her with an attitude of lovingkindness

Delights in us

He notices us, treats us with loving concern, treasures him, honors him, and holds us dear

A prayer for my brothers in Christ. A call to arise and reach for their highest calling. Let this word break every unholy bondage that has been holding them down.

I am confident that God always uses painful experiences to teach us. Even when I don’t understand what He’s doing, I’m comforted by this verse: “And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.” - 1 Peter‬ ‭5:10‬ ‭NIV‬‬

The recent events of the world led me to the passage in Genesis 4 about Cain and Abel. Scriptures are read from NIV version. Genesis 4:6-16. *Trigger alert: This episode briefly addresses the recent murders Ahmaud Arbery and George Floyd. May they Rest In Peace. May God rise in Justice.

“And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near.” - Hebrews 10:25
