Don’t Wait Any Longer.

All too often you hear of Christians who were raised as children to love Jesus, but through the teen years drifted away. Some because of “rebellion,” others because of hard feelings with other church members, some stopped praying and reading their Bibles, and a million other reasons. Whatever the reason, once they quit going to church, it became harder and harder to find their way back. Many times, people have to hit “rock bottom” to look up and see their need for a Savior! You often hear of an adult losing a mother or father who was praying for them, and it shook them to the core, bringing them back to the Lord. Sometimes it takes losing every earthly possession and having nowhere else to turn before they turn to Jesus! Everyone needs the Lord, for He is our only hope of salvation and eternal life. Without Him, we are lost! Ask yourself today, “How healthy is my spiritual life?” “Do I put God first above everything else?” “Am I spending time with God each day, through prayer and Bible study?” “What does Jesus really mean to me?” Ask God to search your heart and open your eyes to areas that are lacking in your spiritual life. Remember, there is nothing too great or too small for God to forgive. If you have distanced yourself from your Lord and Savior, don’t wait any longer - run into His waiting arms today! Text: 1 John 1:9, James 5:11, Psalm 103:17, Romans 7:15

The enemy knows that when we are tired, we are weakest, and it is then that he chooses to attack.

Dr. Alban Douglas used to say, " Sometimes, when you're exhausted, the most spiritual thing you can do is not spend time reading the Word or praying, but just resting or sleeping."

GOD'S WORD FOR THE DAY

“Standing Firm in Prayer”

1 Samuel 12:23

“Moreover, as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the Lord by ceasing to pray for you; and I will instruct you in the good and the right way.”

This is the Word of God. In 1 Samuel 12, Samuel reminds the people of Israel of God’s faithfulness and calls them to continue serving Him wholeheartedly. Even though the people had disappointed God by demanding a king, Samuel did not give up on them. Instead, he committed himself to praying for them and guiding them in the right way.

This verse reminds us that prayer is not only something we do for ourselves. Praying for others is also a sacred responsibility. Sometimes people around us may fail, disappoint us, or make wrong choices, but instead of only criticizing them, we can bring them before God in prayer.

May God give us faithful hearts that continue to pray for others, guide them in truth, and never give up on those He has placed in our lives. Amen.

Have a blessed day with the Lord.

-- Pastor Emmanuel Serto

Keep praying, silence isn't absence.

Topic: You Are Not Behind

Bible Reference

“Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin.” Zechariah 4:10 (NLT)

A Short Story

Samuel was twenty seven, and he had started wondering whether he was already too late.

Some of his friends had built successful businesses. Others had secured good jobs, bought cars, travelled to different countries, or started families. Whenever he opened social media, it seemed as though everyone was moving forward except him.

Samuel had a small business that was barely growing. He was also learning a new skill, but the progress felt painfully slow.

One afternoon, he sat with a friend and said, “I think I have wasted too much time. Maybe I should have achieved more by now.”

His friend looked at him and asked, “Who told you that your life must follow their timetable?”

Samuel became quiet.

He realized that most of his frustration was not coming from his actual situation. It was coming from constantly comparing his journey with other people's journeys.

That evening, he returned home and looked at the small notebook where he had written his goals months earlier. He noticed something he had forgotten.

He had actually made progress.

It was not dramatic. It was not something he could proudly display on social media. But he had learned new skills, become more disciplined, grown spiritually, and taken steps he had once been afraid to take.

For the first time in a long while, Samuel thanked God for the little he had.

He decided that instead of spending his energy asking why he was not where someone else was, he would focus on becoming faithful with where God had placed him.

Today's Message

Comparison can make you despise your own journey.

You look at someone else's finished product and compare it with your beginning. You see their achievement but do not see the years of preparation, sacrifice, failure, and waiting behind it.

God does not measure your life by another person's timeline.

The Bible tells us not to despise small beginnings. Something may look small today and still become significant tomorrow.

Do not be ashamed of starting small. Do not be discouraged because your progress is not yet visible to everyone.

Your responsibility is to be faithful with what God has placed in your hands today.

You are not behind simply because someone else arrived before you.

Keep learning. Keep growing. Keep praying. Keep working. Keep trusting God.

Your journey is your journey.

What To Do Today

1. Stop comparing your progress with what you see on social media.

2. Write down three areas where you have genuinely grown.

3. Identify one small step you can take toward your goal today.

4. Thank God for where you are while trusting Him for where you are going.

Prayer

Lord, deliver me from the pressure of comparison. Help me to appreciate my journey and remain faithful in small beginnings. Give me patience, discipline, and confidence to keep moving forward with You. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Daily Challenge

Write down three things you have accomplished or improved in the past year, no matter how small they may seem. Thank God for each one.

The Unstoppable Hour.. Why Our Fight is Not with This World

There is a palpable anxiety in the air. We see it in the news, on social media, and in the hushed conversations at our kitchen tables. People are scrambling. They are organizing, petitioning, and protesting. They are trying to stop the political shift, the moral decline, and the geopolitical chaos. They are fighting against the current of the world, attempting to "save" a system that was always destined to collapse. But as believers, we must stop and take a sobering look at the reality of our calling. We are not here to stop the inevitable. We are here to walk through it.

The Apostle Paul made it crystal clear in Ephesians 6:12: "For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness." When we see the governments of the world aligning, when we see corruption at every level, and when we see nations turning away from the truth, we are witnessing the fulfillment of prophecy, not the failure of humanity. The Bible predicted a time of great corruption (2 Timothy 3:1-5). It predicted that evil would be called good and good evil (Isaiah 5:20).

The tragedy of our time is not that the world is becoming corrupt; the tragedy is that the Church is wasting its energy trying to fix a world that is already under judgment. Those who are the most "active" in trying to save the culture are often the ones inadvertently bringing these things to pass, because they are fighting in the flesh, trying to build a Kingdom on Earth that was never meant to exist here permanently. To understand our role, we must look back at the history of our faith. The Scriptures are full of people who tried to "help" God fulfill His promises, and the results were devastating.

Consider Abraham and Sarah. God promised Abraham a son. But when the years dragged on, Sarah decided to "help" God by giving her servant Hagar to Abraham. The result? Ishmael was born. This decision did not bring the promise sooner; it brought discord, bitterness, and a conflict that has spanned millennia, a conflict we still see in the Middle East today. God did not need Abraham's "help" in the physical realm to bring about the spiritual miracle. He needed Abraham's faith and waiting.

Consider Moses. When Moses saw the oppression of his people, he acted in his own strength. He killed an Egyptian taskmaster, thinking he was delivering his people. Instead, he became a fugitive and delayed God's plan by forty years. Moses had to unlearn his own strength in the desert before God could use him to free Israel. In these times, it will be no different. We are prone to run ahead of God, to create political kingdoms, to try to legislate morality into the hearts of the unregenerate. We call it "saving the nation," but God calls it "strange fire", our own effort offered on His altar, a sacrifice He never asked for.

If we are not to fight the political tide, what are we to do? Good question. We are to be Witnesses. Jesus didn't tell us to take over the world; He told us to preach the Gospel to every creature. He said, "You will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth" (Acts 1:8). We are ambassadors of a Kingdom not of this world. We are to be Lighthouses. In a time of corruption, we are called to be blameless and pure, shining as lights in a dark world (Philippians 2:15). Our focus is not on changing the behavior of the world, but on offering the soul of the world a way out.

We are to Pray. Instead of protesting the darkness, we should be praying for the souls of those in power, while trusting that God is sovereign over the rise and fall of nations. The spiritual battle is won on our knees, not on the streets. Look at the world today. Technology is advancing at a rate that allows for the global control and surveillance spoken of in Revelation. Nations are aligning in ways eerily reminiscent of the prophecies of Ezekiel and Daniel. The push for a one-world order, the moral relativism, and the hostility toward absolute truth are all box-checking the signs of the times.

When we try to stop this, we are fighting God's timeline. We are acting like children trying to stop the rain by screaming at the clouds. The rain is coming. The question is: have you built your house on the Rock? The times are serious. The world is racing toward a conclusion that has been written since the foundation of the earth. We must stop panicking over the headlines and start preparing our hearts. We are not called to be reformers of a dying world; we are called to be rescuers of dying souls. Don't waste your energy trying to stop the ship from sinking. Use your energy to get people into the lifeboats. The hull is breached. The prophecies must be fulfilled. But you, you have a job to do.

Do not be deceived by the illusion that you can fight the spiritual battle with physical weapons. The only thing that will save a soul is the Gospel. The only way to stand in the coming storm is to be rooted in the Word. Stop trying to save the world. Start trying to save the lost. The hour is late. The time is now. Choose your side and dig in.
Alonso Buford.
