Father, I pray that whoever is reading this Your divine power and love be in their Minds, hearts and souls in Jesus Name.
In a world that’s growing more and more complicated, the word spiritual might seem like an odd concept. But it’s exactly the thing we need to remind us of our value and worth as children of God. We were created for spiritual contentment—not just happiness or satisfaction but true peace in our relationship with God.
In this article, we’ll explore how you can gain contentment through your connection with God: what it is, how to find it, and how to keep it strong and vibrant in your life every day.
You don’t need to perfect your character to be able to experience contentment.
Contentment isn’t about being perfect. Many people think that contentment is a state of perfection; they believe it can only be found when all of their desires are fulfilled and they’ve reached the pinnacle of human potential. This is not true. Contentment isn’t a condition of perfecting your character or achieving some impossible ideal, but rather it’s an attitude of mind, heart, soul, and spirit that you can cultivate regardless of what’s happening in your life right now or in the past!
Contentment doesn’t mean you’re happy with everything. It means that you’re happy with what you have and who you are. You can be content even when things aren’t perfect because deep down inside you know that everything is working out for your good.
You can be content with how things are, even though you may be longing for something more. Contentment isn’t about being happy all of the time; it’s about finding joy and peace even when life is hard.
If you keep up with your spiritual journey, you’ll find contentment in a way that only comes from within. The journey may be long and winding at times, but the reward is worth it. Don’t give up on yourself or your dreams; they are all inside of you waiting to be fulfilled!
Father, I Pray whoever is reading this, That your divine power and love be filled in their minds hearts and souls In Jesus’ Name.
Serving is a part of faith by following Jesus’ example. As Christians, we are called to serve one another humbly in love.
The most important example of serving others is Jesus Christ.
Serving others is a big part of loving like Jesus. To serve means to help someone in need, not to be selfish and think only about yourself, and to do more than what is asked of you. The most important example of serving others is Jesus Christ.
Jesus showed how much he loved us by dying on the cross for our sins (Romans 5:8). He knew that serving us would cost him dearly—and it did! Yet he still chose to do so out of love for us. He served even though there was nothing in it for him personally; his only motivation was his deep love for each one of us individually.
In addition to this amazing sacrifice, Jesus also modeled serving others when he washed his disciples’ feet (John 13:1-17). This was something that wasn’t asked from him or demanded by them, yet he still wanted them to know how meaningful it could be if they were willing to—and this demonstrates just how important serving others really is!
“Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.”
Philippians 2:3-4
As Christians, it is important for us to remember this verse and apply it to our lives. We should never do anything that makes us feel like we are better than anyone else. This means that we should not act as if we are more important than other people simply because we have different jobs or titles at work; instead, we need to help each other out and show love towards one another–no matter what!
“So, when you take pains to serve any brother or sister in need, especially those who belong to the family of God’s people, you prove yourselves to be true members of the body of Christ”
Galatians 6:10 (GNT)
Serving others is one of the most important ways we can prove our love for God and show that we are true members of His body, the church.
We can serve others by helping them when they’re in need. For example, if someone needs a ride to an appointment or has some heavy boxes they need to be carried into their house, that would be a good time to offer your help.
When you take pains to serve any brother or sister in need, especially those who belong to the family of God’s people (Galatians 6:10 GNT), then you prove yourself to be true members of the body of Christ.”
“Therefore, as we have the opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.”
Galatians 6:10
This verse is often used to talk about how Christians should treat other Christians. However, the Bible never says that it’s only for those who are “in Christ.” The Greek word translated as “people” (Anthropos) means “human being,” not just those who share your faith. So this verse is for everyone!
It’s true that there are some people we can help more effectively than others: those who live in poverty or need medical attention or are otherwise struggling may need our help more than someone with a comfortable job and plenty of family support. But even these people are still human beings and deserve kindness from all of us—and that means you! If you have time to stop by and visit your elderly neighbor on Christmas Eve out of love, then do so; if your partner’s parents invite you over for dinner but they don’t know Jesus yet, go anyway; if one day someone asks if they can borrow your car because theirs broke down and they’re late picking up their kids from daycare—help them without hesitation (and without expecting anything in return)! God has given us the opportunity to serve Him in every person we encounter throughout our day!
Serve one another humbly in love.
Galatians 5:13
Serve one another humbly in love, for as we help others, we are serving the Lord. Galatians 5:13
Serve your brothers and sisters like Christ served you, bringing hope to a hopeless world. Serving others makes us more like Jesus and brings us joy.
We need each other in order to serve one another with humility and love; this is how God designed it to be. We can’t serve alone because life is hard when you do things alone!
Serving is a part of faith by following Jesus’ example. The Bible tells us that Jesus served others and was always humble, kind, gentle, and patient. He never complained or took advantage of people.
At the end of the day, it’s all about serving with love. In every aspect of our everyday lives, we can choose to serve others with love. We are never too busy or too stressed out to care for someone else. It doesn’t matter what you do or where you are in life; if you want to make a positive difference on this planet, then all it takes is one small act of kindness at a time!
Father, I Pray whoever is reading this, That your divine power and love be filled in their minds hearts and souls In Jesus’ Name.
I am writing this blog post to discuss the importance of forgiveness. We have all had times in our lives where we have wronged someone else and they have wronged us, so it is only natural that you think to yourself: am I just supposed to forgive everyone?? The answer is yes. You do not need to submit yourself to any emotional blackmail for what happened in the past because you will never get over it until you accept that it has happened and let go of it.
In the world today, forgiveness is a topic of much discussion and debate. Many people say they forgive others, but their actions belie the truth of their words.
Our culture tells us that we should forgive others, but it is not always easy. Even more difficult is giving forgiveness when it has been done to you. This can be especially difficult when you have been sinned against by someone who has meant to protect you from harm and help you grow in maturity as followers of Christ.
When you forgive someone who has done something wrong to you and should recognize the power that you giving to that person. Forgiveness is a gift you give yourself and others. On many occasions, a bitter person may not realize how much damage they caused in the lives of others through their actions. If you learn to forgive them and use your forgiveness as an opportunity for spiritual growth, then you will be able to experience peace at the end of it all. God sent Jesus to die for our sins on the cross. Because of him, we know that God has accepted us into His family, which is an amazing gift! And yet so many of us struggle with accepting others into our lives even after they asked for forgiveness. This can be due to a variety of reasons. We have all sinned. We have all fallen short, and that means we all need forgiveness…

If you are like me, then you have had times in your life when it felt like God wasn’t working out the way He said He would. I know that His promises seem too good to be true and that sometimes it feels like things aren’t going our way. But rest assured: God is working everything out for your good! The truth is that He has a plan for each one of us and He loves us with everlasting love. There may be times when we feel as though God has forgotten about us or forgotten His promises, but this could not be further from the truth. We must look at our situation through the lens of faith and believe that no matter what happens, everything will turn out okay because Jesus is with us always!
Many times we feel like we have failed. Maybe you are in the midst of a difficult situation, but it will not last forever. If you look at the big picture, you can see that God has been working things out for your good. Even when it seems like everything is falling apart, He is still there to help us through our difficulties and bring good out of them. It may not be what we want right now, but if we trust Him and let Him work out His plan in our lives then eventually what seems like a failure now will lead to success later on!
If you have ever doubted your worth, if you have ever felt that God could not love you because of who or what you were, I want to assure you: that God’s love for us is unconditional. We are all made in His image and He loves us unconditionally!
We have doubts about our abilities.
We are not alone.
Doubts are normal.
They’re part of the human condition, and they touch every aspect of our lives, from the simplest tasks to the most complex endeavors. Doubts can be overcome! They can be managed! And faith in God is what allows us to question without being paralyzed by uncertainty—and then find solutions when we do find ourselves stuck in a place where there seem to be no answers at all.
We feel as though God has forgotten us.
The next time you feel as though God has forgotten you, remember that He is with you always. He has promised to never leave or forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:6). He is working things out for your good and His glory (Romans 8:28).
He will not fail you and He will not forsake you.
We feel like He is not working in our lives.
God is working in your life. Even if you can’t see it, even when it doesn’t feel like it, even when you have no idea what’s going on.
He’s there with you. He’s with you every step of the way and He will never leave your side.
God is working it out. He is working it out for your good and His glory. He’s going to teach you things about yourself, others, and Himself through this difficult time. This is a perfect opportunity for you to grow closer to God while helping others understand Him better as well!
Everything you go through is part of a bigger plan that God has for you.
Even though you are going through difficult times, God is working it out for your good and his glory.
God has a plan for your life.
All things work together for good to those who love God, who are called according to his purpose (Romans 8:28).
It is not by accident that every hard thing that comes into your life also works together for good in some way for you and others around you. For example: maybe losing your job helps you discover something better suited for how God wants to use your gifts, or maybe getting a divorce from an abusive spouse leads to finding true love with someone else, or maybe getting cancer causes you to devote more time helping others instead of focusing on yourself. The point is, if something bad happens in our lives, we can trust that God had a reason behind allowing it so that even though things may seem chaotic at first glance when viewing them from only one perspective, everything will eventually be worked out just as he intended all along!
Look at your situation through the lens of faith and believe that you are precious to Jesus and that He is with you always!
Remember, faith is the key to success. Doubt is the enemy of faith.
In conclusion, we can say that God is working it all out for your good. He knows what you are going through and He cares about every single detail of your life. It’s not easy to trust Him in our pain or doubt His love when things don’t seem like they are going our way but this is where faith comes into play! We must believe that God has a plan for us even if we don’t know what that may be at this moment because He does!
Father, I Pray whoever is reading this, That your divine power and love be fill in their minds hearts and souls In Jesus Name.
There are many sayings that are profound regarding this subject, for example “when you point one finger, there are three fingers pointing back to you”. Knowing that Jesus is a teacher whose wisdom and lifetime lessons is evident! Jesus mentions in the book of Matthew 7:3 “Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log in your own eye (ESV)”.
Have you ever been criticized or falsely accused of saying or doing something? This occurrence has been experienced by many of us, but in spite of irrelevant assumptions, Romans 8:33 tells us “Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies.”
We’re surrounded by pitiless souls. That brings negativity without any remorse or mercy. Whatever you are best at doing, these people will find a way to discredit the gifts God has given you! What hurts more is that it’s coming from your loved ones. Now, I must admit I see why Jesus goes alone and prays to be with his Father. I see the significance in it all.
When we pursue God we find the answers to the many questions only God has answers for. Being alone with Him brings a intimacy of tranquility and conversations without assumptions or negativity. Jesus spent his time alone in prayer. He spent 40 days praying in the wilderness as per the Book of Luke 4:1-2, 14-15.(NIV). A Godly reminder, it was after this Jesus was tempted by Satan.
When Jesus was arrested, he went to the Mount Olives to pray away from his disciples. He was in great distress knowing what he was about to face (Luke 22:39-44). Jesus did and does still have Haters! If the world hates you, keep in mind that Jesus was the first to be disliked. When prosperity is in your favor and hope lies inside of you, these acts of the enemy are expected, but not victorious!
The book of Job is another great and inspiring resource of being falsely accused and critically criticized. Fingers were pointed at Job from many angles, and one of those fingers was from his wife. His wife said to him, “Do you remain firm in your integrity? Curse God and die!” Through it all, he was blameless and kept the faith saying to himself God will never lose a battle.
He was alone with God and told him “Though he slay me, yet I will trust in him, but I will maintain my own ways before him.” Job 13:15 (KJV). Now, he lost his family, health, wealth and the trust of his closest friends. Due to God’s promises all was restored and much was given to Job. The same promise that God did for Job will be done for you. Do not not let the fingers get in the way of your well deserved blessings! God wants you to talk to Him and hear His words of wisdom and strength.
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who[a] have been called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28
Father, I Pray whoever is reading this, That your divine power and love be full in their minds hearts and souls In Jesus’ Name.
When you go through deep waters, don’t be afraid. When you reach the shore, don’t stop there; keep going. The Lord will give you strength when your legs are tired and will support you when your feet hurt. If He doesn’t give you the strength to finish the race, it’s because He has another plan for your life that requires something different from what He asked of others before Him…
God is with you. He is the one who is leading you through these deep waters, and he will bring you out on the other side. God knows what’s best for us, so when we trust him to lead us through difficult times, we can rest assured that he’ll be there every step of the way. In fact, in Psalm 23:4-5 (NIV), it says: “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil for you are with me; your rod and your staff – they comfort me.” When everything around us seems uncertain or hopeless and we’re feeling like our lives are out of control, this reassurance from God helps us feel safe enough to ask him for help and guidance as well as strength and rest from our burdens.
but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
Isaiah 40:31
Please embrace these tidal waves and sail on. The best lesson in life is God; we cannot expect anything without him. Jesus hung on a cross blameless for our sins. We look at the troubles we are facing or perhaps may face. God’s only begotten son didn’t look at any of the troubles but took strength in his obedience to his father. I pray that we all will endure without a shadow of a doubt in victory!
Father, I pray that whoever is reading this Your divine power and love be in their Minds, hearts and souls in Jesus Name.
It is important to understand that the love referred to in 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 (agape) is a kind of love that has nothing to do with the object it is directed at, but rather with the person who possesses it. Agape is unselfish. It does not consider its own interests or needs, nor does it seek anything in return for itself. Instead, agape loves others for their own sake, without expecting anything from them in return.
Agape is the highest form of love. It is unconditional, selfless, and directed at the person who possesses it.
This type of love never depends on circumstances, situations or feelings! God’s agape toward us was never contingent upon anything we did or didn’t do; He loved us before we were born (even before we existed), as well as after death (He lovingly raised us from our graves!).
Agape love is unselfish. Agape love is unconditional. Agape love is sacrificial. You don’t have to be with someone in order to learn how to love them. It’s a powerful example of agape that can be shared with anyone, regardless of your relationship status or proximity to one another.
Agape is an important type of love because it allows you to demonstrate your affection for someone without expecting anything in return—no matter how difficult that may be at times! By putting others’ needs before yours and making decisions based on what will benefit the other person most (rather than yourself), you’ll find that this kind of selfless behavior creates a stronger bond between both parties involved—which makes for an even more meaningful relationship when things get tough later down the road!
What will Jesus do? Be full of grace, self-giving, forgiving, obedient, and a great listener. Ask yourself, are you Christ-like?
“We love because he first loved us.”
1 John 4:19
Love is the most important virtue in life, and it should be given freely without conditions or expectations. This is why agape love is so rare because it’s hard to find people who are willing to love someone else even if they don’t love them back.
Father, I pray that whoever is reading this Your divine power and love be in their Minds, hearts, and souls in Jesus’ Name.
According to the Gun Violence Archive 2022 (which has provided evidence-based research since 2013). The total number of gun violence deaths:
Homicides: 23,133
DGU: 10,527
Suicides: 12,606
More than forty-three million guns are estimated to have been purchased in 2020-2021. During that period according to a Washington Post analysis of federal data on gun background checks. Massive reports have been recorded and ongoing. There are communities that were once considered a safe haven, but now have a questionable reputation.
The world is changing rapidly, but there’s a lot of uncertainty about what this means or how we should respond. In a time such as this, it’s important to remember that God is still in control and has a plan for us all. As Christians, we can rest assured that no matter what happens in the world around us, God will see us through it all and guide us safely to our heavenly home where He has prepared for us an eternal reward!
I’ve been thinking a lot about the proverb “one never knows does one” lately. It’s something that I often say to myself when making decisions and it can be applied to so many different scenarios in life, from choosing what to eat for dinner on a Sunday evening, to taking an opportunity at work.
1 Peter 5:8-11 -New International Version-(8) Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. (9) Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of suffering. (10) 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. (11) To him be the power forever and ever. Amen.
The Bible is filled with advice on how to live our lives well but sometimes it can be hard to apply these lessons to our own lives because we don’t know what challenges we will face tomorrow! We cannot know what will happen in life but we can be prepared for anything by being alert and having a sober mind so we can stay focused on what really matters in life: staying true to ourselves by resisting temptation when others may try to tempt us away from our faith (James 1:12). The Bible says that no matter what happens during this life there will always be hope through Jesus Christ because He gave His life so that we could live again one day instead of just ending at death like animals!
James 4:7 -New King James Version-(7) “Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.
The above verse is a great reminder that we are not alone in this world and that there is someone who cares about us and wants what’s best for us. It also reminds us that we should resist the devil at all costs, because if he gets a hold of you then it’s not just your life on earth that will be affected…it’ll affect your eternity as well!
This subject matter has abruptly taken me on a tail-spin, but only God kept me! As I type these words I am reminded of an event that occurred as I was on the prayer line with my Home Base Church Family. We came together that day to lift up the daily requests of others needing prayers. While leading the prayers, I was inspired to pray for all surgeons worldwide.
Although this is not a prayer I would normally do, I obeyed our Father who art in heaven, without any question. Whatever my God Says I will do! Soon after I received a message that a dear one of mine was hospitalized after being attacked by three gunshots. I remembered fighting this battle on my knees, I contacted my prayer Warriors who were in agreement we will slay and win in Jesus’ Name! Now, I see why the holy spirit led me to pray for Surgeons worldwide.
It’s a shame, but we live in an era where things can change so quickly. One day, we have peace, and the next, war. One day the economy is booming and the next it’s crashing down around us. Gun violence has taken away many lives and shattered the lives of their loved ones. We should continue to pray without ceasing! Pray for all and leave no one left behind. In God we trust.
“Father, I Pray whoever is reading this, That your divine power and love be fill in their minds hearts and souls In Jesus’ Name”
What a true blessing in knowing we serve a living God! How many times has He come through for us? His mercy and divine grace run over with endless love for us. God is the evident resource of all that exists. As the people of God, we must admit “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” Romans 3:23 NIV.
God’s Love is the strength that is keeping us together. In Spite of the turbulence we may endure God is with us always. There is a reason and timing for these events. In the book of Ecclesiastes, Chapter three clearly expresses “For everything, there is a season and a time for every matter under heaven.”
Are you going through trials and tribulations? You are not alone. We are continuously witnessing current events globally that show the trials being cast upon us from various directions. God provides all the answers to perplexing questions. Please ask yourself, when was the last time you were alone and had a conversation with God? He knows what we will say to Him, but he wants to hear from us? The Divine Power being in the secret place reveals his everlasting love.
God never sleeps and is always available for His children. I have felt this clearly during my many conversations with God over my lifetime. The book of Hebrew, particularly Chapter 4, Verse 16 brought me reassurance in my decision to approach God in times of need. “Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need (ESV).”
Jesus has prayed and is still praying for us! Interceding on our behalf without ceasing. Brothers and Sisters, prayerfully be encouraged that “this too shall pass”.
The Power of God is a divine benefit for all those that believe. “He determines the number of the stars, and gives to them their names. Great is our Lord, and abundant in power; his understanding is beyond measures.” Psalms 147:4-5.
When everything seems to go into a tailspin, please keep in mind that God is in control. We’ve all witnessed the great turmoil going on in our world today, and know that the chaos can inspire great fear. Even with all the darkness, there will always be a true light to guide the way for us.
When Jesus spoke again to the people he said “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life.” John 8:12. To refocus yourself, drop all the technical devices that have become the norm in today’s society, and go into a place where you can focus on your relationship with the Most High! Being with Him, and asking questions that only He can answer, then allowing yourself to receive His divine intervention is truly amazing! “So is my word that goes out from my mouth, it will not return to me empty but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.” Isaiah 55:1 (NIV)
What is impossible to man is not impossible to God! Regardless of what our troubles may be, nothing is too hard for God! How many times have you read or heard the testimonials of God’s actions to know that He is there? By His divine power, God has given us everything that we need to live a Godly life. We have received all of this by coming to know Him, the “one who has called us to Himself by means of His marvelous glory and excellence.” 2 Peter 1:13.
Father, I lift up in prayer all those who are reading this so they may be inspired by your power and unfailing love that never leaves or forsakes us!
