  • A dear reminder to all of us today about scoffers.. ‭ In these last days
    there shall come
    -;those who follow their own ungodly desires,
    -; people who divide you,
    -;who follow mere natural instincts
    -; who do not have the Spirit.
    Yes it's true we have seen all of them from the first one to them who lack the spirit as described. How we pray we don't belong to any category among these. These things were written by the apostles on those days to help us guard our hearts when we come near them.

    Prayers
    Deal Father Lord in the name of Jesus .. We are grateful for your Word. We pray you help us to be guided by spirit. Help us to obey your and listen to what the Holy Spirit is saying to our hearts in Christ Jesus.. Amen
    #Amen

  • Today Is a Gift—Receive It With Joy

    Every new morning is a reminder that God is not finished with you yet. You may still be waiting for certain prayers to be answered, but the gift of waking up today is already a reason to hope, rejoice, and give thanks.

    Psalm 118:24 says, “This is the day the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.”

    Don't allow yesterday's disappointments, today's challenges, or tomorrow's uncertainties to steal the beauty of this moment.

    Choose gratitude while you wait.
    Choose faith when you don't understand.
    Choose peace when life feels overwhelming.
    Choose joy even when everything isn't perfect.

    Joy doesn't mean life is problem-free. It means you trust that God is greater than every problem you face.

    As you step into this Sunday, may God's presence calm your heart, renew your strength, and fill you with fresh hope. May you receive good news, divine favor, unexpected blessings, and answers to your prayers.

    Let's Pray

    Heavenly Father, thank You for the precious gift of another day. Help me to walk in gratitude, faith, and joy. Let Your peace fill every troubled heart, strengthen those who are weary, and restore hope to those who feel discouraged. May this Sunday bring testimonies, favor, breakthroughs, and beautiful surprises. In Jesus' name, Amen.

    If you're grateful for the gift of today, declare:

    “This is the day the Lord has made; I will rejoice and be glad in it!”

  • Two weeks before Littleman’s birthday, I said goodbye to him—one of the most difficult moments of my life. On his special day, Hurricane Helene struck, devastating my home and deepening my grief. It has been a challenging journey of healing and rebuilding.
    However, I am grateful to share that we have begun to turn that painful chapter behind us. The loss, the destruction, and the hardships are gradually giving way to blessings and new beginnings. In my heart, I knew it was time to open my home and my heart once again, and to welcome a new furry friend.
    I prayed for a tiny teacup Chihuahua—a little bundle of love to bring joy and comfort back into my life. I am truly thankful to say that the Lord blessed me with Charlie, a sweet and gentle little guy.
    Many of you have asked how you can help or what Charlie needs. I’ve put together a small registry, and if you feel led, you can bless Charlie by choosing something from this list. Your kindness will help him feel loved and cared for.
    Thank you all for your love, prayers, and support. It means the world to me—and to Charlie. ~charlotte Please click on the link

  • What if your birthday became more than a celebration—what if it became a sacred opportunity to pause, reflect and prepare spiritually for the year ahead?

    Many of us celebrate another year of life without intentionally looking back, thanking God for His faithfulness or prayerfully placing the next chapter into His hands.

    That is why I created Number My Days, a guided birthday prayer retreat app based on my book, Number My Days: A Guided Birthday Prayer Retreat Journal.

    Inspired by Psalm 90:12—“So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom”—the app guides you through Scripture, meditation, prayer and private reflection in twelve important areas of life, including:

    * Thanksgiving and remembering God’s faithfulness
    * Bringing your sorrows honestly before God
    * Repentance and renewed consecration
    * Intimacy with God
    * Identity and purpose in Christ
    * Family and future generations
    * Health and well-being
    * Calling and service
    * Finances and stewardship
    * Relationships
    * Spiritual warfare
    * Vision for the year ahead

    Although the app was created around the meaningful milestone of a birthday, you do not have to wait until your birthday to use it.

    The Scriptures, prayers and reflection prompts can support you whenever you need to pause, seek God’s direction, renew your commitment to Him or prayerfully begin a new season.

    Created for your birthday. Meaningful for every season.

    The app is almost ready for its official launch, but before I introduce the paid version, I would love the help of a few people from this Christian community to test it.

    You can create an account, explore the different sections and use the app as you normally would. For the purpose of testing, your birthday does not need to be near. Simply choose a prayer journey and experience it as a personal retreat with God.

    Afterwards, I would be grateful for your honest feedback:

    * Was anything confusing?
    * Did you encounter anything that did not work?
    * Was the prayer journey easy to follow?
    * Did your entries save correctly?
    * What did you find most meaningful?
    * What could make the experience better or easier to use?

    During this testing stage, the app is available free of charge to selected testers.

    You can begin here:

    If you decide to test it, please leave a comment or send me a private message so that I can follow up with you for feedback.

    Thank you for helping me shape a resource that I pray will encourage people to enter every new year and season of life with greater wisdom, gratitude, clarity and surrender to God.

  • *TODAY'S PROPHETIC DECLARATION - SUNDAY, 16TH AUGUST, 2026.*

    *PRAISE GOD FOR HIS MIGHTY ACTS.*

    *(11th Sunday after Trinity)*

    Scripture:
    “Praise ye the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power. Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness.” — Psalm 150:1–2 (KJV).

    *Reflection – Let Everything Within You Praise the Lord.*

    Psalm 150 is a powerful call to wholehearted worship. The Psalmist does not merely tell us to praise God; he tells us why we should praise Him: because of His mighty acts and His excellent greatness.

    Today, as we celebrate the 11th Sunday after Trinity, we are reminded that praise should not depend on our circumstances. God deserves our worship because of who He is and because of what He has done.

    There are blessings we can see and others we may never know about. There are prayers God has already answered and others for which we are still waiting. Yet, through every season, God's greatness remains unchanged.

    When we praise God, we acknowledge His sovereignty, celebrate His faithfulness, and declare our confidence in His power. Praise shifts our attention from the size of our problems to the greatness of our God.

    *Prophetic Declaration:*
    Today, I declare that my life shall continually be an instrument of praise to Almighty God. I will praise Him in good times and difficult seasons, in abundance and in times of waiting, because He is always worthy of my worship.

    I declare that I will not allow temporary challenges to silence my praise. My circumstances may change, but my God does not change. His faithfulness remains constant, His mercy endures forever, and His greatness is beyond measure.

    Today, I praise God for His mighty acts in my life. I praise Him for the battles He has fought, the dangers He has prevented, the doors He has opened, the prayers He has answered, and the blessings He has given me.

    I declare that every spirit of discouragement, heaviness, fear, and hopelessness shall lose its influence over me. The garment of praise shall replace every garment of heaviness, and joy shall rise within my heart.

    I proclaim God's greatness over my family, ministry, work, business, studies, relationships, and destiny. The Lord shall continue to demonstrate His mighty power in every area of my life according to His perfect will.

    I declare that where I see limitations, I shall remember God's greatness. Where I see impossibilities, I shall remember His mighty acts. Where I face uncertainty, I shall remember His faithfulness.

    Today, I receive fresh grace to worship God wholeheartedly. My mouth shall testify of His goodness, my heart shall overflow with gratitude, and my life shall demonstrate His love.

    I declare that the Lord shall put a new song in my mouth. He shall turn my mourning into dancing, my sorrow into joy, my trials into testimonies, and my waiting into opportunities to experience His faithfulness.

    I proclaim that my testimony shall encourage others to trust in God. Through my words, worship, conduct, and service, people shall see evidence of God's goodness and be drawn closer to Him.

    Today, I choose praise over complaint, faith over fear, gratitude over murmuring, and worship over worry.

    I will praise the Lord for His mighty acts.
    I will praise Him for His excellent greatness.
    I will praise Him because He is good.
    I will praise Him because He is faithful.
    I will praise Him because He alone is worthy!

    Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen!

    *Action Steps for today:*
    Begin with praise: Before making your requests this morning, spend time thanking God for who He is.

    Read Psalm 150: Meditate on God's greatness and His mighty acts.

    Declare: “I will praise the Lord for His mighty acts and according to His excellent greatness.”

    Count your blessings: Mention at least five things for which you are grateful to God.

    Turn your concern into praise: Whatever challenge you are facing, commit it to God and worship Him while trusting His power.

    Be a source of encouragement: Share a testimony, Scripture, or encouraging message with someone today.

    End with thanksgiving: Before going to bed, remember God's faithfulness throughout the day and give Him all the glory.

    *Prayer:*
    Almighty and Everlasting God,
    I praise You because You are great, mighty, faithful, holy, and worthy of all praise. Thank You for Your countless blessings and for the mighty acts You have performed in my life.

    Forgive me for every time I have allowed my circumstances to become greater in my eyes than Your greatness. Give me a heart that continually remembers Your goodness.

    Put a new song in my mouth. Let praise rise from my heart even when I am waiting for answers. Turn every difficult season into a testimony of Your faithfulness.

    Lord, manifest Your mighty power in my family, ministry, work, business, studies, and every area of my life. Establish the work of my hands and let everything concerning me bring glory to Your holy name.

    Make my life a living testimony of Your excellent greatness. Let my worship encourage others, my testimony strengthen the weak, and my service advance Your Kingdom.

    I will praise You, Lord, for Your mighty acts. I will praise You according to Your excellent greatness.

    Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

    *Sunday Blessing:*
    May the Lord fill your heart with an unquenchable spirit of praise today. May He give you countless reasons to rejoice and continually remind you of His mighty acts.

    May every difficult situation become a testimony, every season of waiting produce deeper faith, and every blessing become a reason to give God glory.

    May the Lord bless your family, strengthen your ministry, establish the work of your hands, guide your steps, and surround you with His favor.

    May your mouth never lack a testimony and your heart never lack a reason to praise God.

    Praise Him for His mighty acts!
    Praise Him for His excellent greatness!
    Praise Him for His unfailing love!
    Praise Him because He alone is worthy!

    Good morning beloved and Happy 11th Sunday after Trinity and 3rd Sunday in August!
    May your Sunday be filled with worship, joy, divine encounters, thanksgiving, and glorious testimonies. In Jesus' mighty name. Amen!
    Shalom!

  • PRIDE: THE SILENT KILLER — PART 1

    Beloved, there is a difference between confidence and pride.

    Confidence says:
    “By God’s grace, I can do this.”

    Pride says:
    “I don’t need God. I did this myself.”

    “But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth.” — Deuteronomy 8:18

    God can bless you.
    God can promote you.
    God can make you successful.

    But as you rise, remain humble.

    Never allow the blessing to make you forget the Blesser.

    Never allow your talent to make you forget who gave you the gift.

    And never let the gift become greater than the Giver.

    Stay humble. Stay teachable. Stay grateful.

  • LOST IN THE CHURCH

    [GETTING LOST IN CHURCH]

    Part Four

    Keeping the Law

    No one will enter Heaven by keeping the Law. For no one can keep all the Law without stumbling even in one point. And whenever you break one law, you have broken all of it.

    Essentially, the Law was not given to the world to save people. It was given to reveal the sin that exists in the hearts of human beings and then show them that humanity needs a Savior—Jesus Christ!

    So, it is strange that Jesus has come, yet people have refused to go to Him and instead have gone back to the Law.

    If the Law could save, then what was the purpose of Jesus dying on the cross? It would have been enough simply to send the Law into the world, and it would have accomplished everything.

    My brothers and sisters, sin is not merely an action; sin is a condition of the heart.

    For example, when someone steals, people immediately judge the action. But they may fail to understand that the action has only revealed the sin that already existed within that person's heart. Therefore, before God, that person is a thief even before the actual act of stealing, because God looks at the heart.

    For instance, if you give a person a law that says, “Do not steal,” and that law succeeds in preventing him from stealing 100% of the time, you have only succeeded in controlling his body from expressing sin outwardly. You have not removed the sin from his heart.

    Therefore, at its very best, the Law cannot make a person's heart pure. And Scripture clearly says that no one will see God without a pure heart. Matthew 5:8

    Therefore, anyone who approaches the Law in order to become holy has been seriously deceived. I compare such a person to someone who goes to a traditional healer to have a demon removed. What the healer may do is not remove the demon but merely suppress it—controlling it so that it does not cause trouble while it remains inside.

    Jesus alone is able to transform you when you come to Him. He can change your very nature.

    My brothers and sisters, the Lord did not come into the world looking for good people, perfect people, people who never sin, or people who are capable of perfectly keeping the Law. He came looking for people who recognize their need for His help, who will believe in Him, and above all, who will love Him.

    Keeping the Law Under the New Covenant

    Whenever people hear about keeping the Law, the first thing that often comes to mind is the Old Covenant and certain churches that emphasize the Law.

    Because they consider themselves churches of salvation, they may think this message does not apply to them.

    But from the perspective of “Getting Lost in Church,” this message may actually apply even more to spiritual churches than to others.

    There is a great danger in reading the New Covenant through the mindset of the Old Covenant.

    Someone may think that perhaps praying for a long time, fasting frequently, or performing many religious activities will make God accept them.

    Someone may think that because they attend church every day, do not commit adultery, do not lie, give generously to God, help the needy, serve in church, sing in the choir, preach, or have a good relationship with the pastor, they will automatically be allowed into Heaven on the last day.

    Many people in church have been deceived by these things. They even look down on others because they believe they themselves are safe.

    Now, I am not saying that doing these things is wrong or unnecessary. Not at all.

    Rather, a person should do these things after they have already encountered the Lord.

    Keeping the Law without encountering the Lord or being born again is an insult to the cross of Calvary.

    If someone could enter Heaven simply by doing all these things, then why did Jesus have to die on the cross?

    So, salvation is not primarily about what we have done, but about what the Lord Jesus has already done on the cross.

    Outside the cross of Jesus, there is no true love, no holiness, no righteousness, no relationship with God, no Christianity, and no salvation.

    Therefore, when we look at the cross with grateful hearts and connect it to everything we do, we enter into His love and develop a relationship with Him.

    And we know that the life of every relationship is communication.

    Without communication, there can be no genuine love or meaningful relationship.

    Have you ever had a relationship with someone you love who was far away from you, while the two of you stopped communicating?

    Even in English, we say:

    “The more the communication, the stronger the relationship—and vice versa.”

    This means that the degree to which a person hears from God and communicates with Him determines the closeness of that person's relationship with God.

    For the Word says:

    “My sheep hear my voice.”
    John 10:27

    LOST IN THE CHURCH [GETTING LOST IN CHURCH] Part Four Keeping the Law No one will enter Heaven by keeping the Law. For no one can keep all the Law without stumbling even in one point. And whenever you break one law, you have broken all of it. Essentially, the Law was not given to the world to save people. It was given to reveal the sin that exists in the hearts of human beings and then show them that humanity needs a Savior—Jesus Christ! So, it is strange that Jesus has come, yet people have refused to go to Him and instead have gone back to the Law. If the Law could save, then what was the purpose of Jesus dying on the cross? It would have been enough simply to send the Law into the world, and it would have accomplished everything. My brothers and sisters, sin is not merely an action; sin is a condition of the heart. For example, when someone steals, people immediately judge the action. But they may fail to understand that the action has only revealed the sin that already existed within that person's heart. Therefore, before God, that person is a thief even before the actual act of stealing, because God looks at the heart. For instance, if you give a person a law that says, “Do not steal,” and that law succeeds in preventing him from stealing 100% of the time, you have only succeeded in controlling his body from expressing sin outwardly. You have not removed the sin from his heart. Therefore, at its very best, the Law cannot make a person's heart pure. And Scripture clearly says that no one will see God without a pure heart. Matthew 5:8 Therefore, anyone who approaches the Law in order to become holy has been seriously deceived. I compare such a person to someone who goes to a traditional healer to have a demon removed. What the healer may do is not remove the demon but merely suppress it—controlling it so that it does not cause trouble while it remains inside. Jesus alone is able to transform you when you come to Him. He can change your very nature. My brothers and sisters, the Lord did not come into the world looking for good people, perfect people, people who never sin, or people who are capable of perfectly keeping the Law. He came looking for people who recognize their need for His help, who will believe in Him, and above all, who will love Him. Keeping the Law Under the New Covenant Whenever people hear about keeping the Law, the first thing that often comes to mind is the Old Covenant and certain churches that emphasize the Law. Because they consider themselves churches of salvation, they may think this message does not apply to them. But from the perspective of “Getting Lost in Church,” this message may actually apply even more to spiritual churches than to others. There is a great danger in reading the New Covenant through the mindset of the Old Covenant. Someone may think that perhaps praying for a long time, fasting frequently, or performing many religious activities will make God accept them. Someone may think that because they attend church every day, do not commit adultery, do not lie, give generously to God, help the needy, serve in church, sing in the choir, preach, or have a good relationship with the pastor, they will automatically be allowed into Heaven on the last day. Many people in church have been deceived by these things. They even look down on others because they believe they themselves are safe. Now, I am not saying that doing these things is wrong or unnecessary. Not at all. Rather, a person should do these things after they have already encountered the Lord. Keeping the Law without encountering the Lord or being born again is an insult to the cross of Calvary. If someone could enter Heaven simply by doing all these things, then why did Jesus have to die on the cross? So, salvation is not primarily about what we have done, but about what the Lord Jesus has already done on the cross. Outside the cross of Jesus, there is no true love, no holiness, no righteousness, no relationship with God, no Christianity, and no salvation. Therefore, when we look at the cross with grateful hearts and connect it to everything we do, we enter into His love and develop a relationship with Him. And we know that the life of every relationship is communication. Without communication, there can be no genuine love or meaningful relationship. Have you ever had a relationship with someone you love who was far away from you, while the two of you stopped communicating? Even in English, we say: “The more the communication, the stronger the relationship—and vice versa.” This means that the degree to which a person hears from God and communicates with Him determines the closeness of that person's relationship with God.
