AS JESUS SAID:

We are to be in the world, but not of the world.

It means you bring Christ's light into everything you do: your work, your friendships, and how you treat even those who are difficult to love.

God bless every one of us, and all this family!

My God, I did not thank You because I have so much,
but because so much of what I have has become ordinary to me,
and still, You have not taken it away.

I thank You for the things I no longer ask for,
because I have grown accustomed to finding them
whenever I open my eyes each morning.

For a home I return to,
until I began to believe that returning was something I was entitled to.

For a body that carries me through every day,
until I forgot to thank You simply because it does not hurt.

For faces I love, still where they have always been.
For voices I can still hear,
until I forgot that somewhere, someone is longing
to hear just one more word from a voice they have lost.

How many blessings do we never thank You for
simply because they never changed?

We mistake stability for something ordinary,
protection for something passing,
peace for something we deserve,
and the people we love for a permanent part of life.

Until one of them is gone.

And only then do we realize, too late,
that it was never ordinary at all.

My God, teach me not to wait for loss
to understand the value of what You have given me.

Not to wait for sickness
to understand the gift of health.

Not to wait for loneliness
to understand the blessing of companionship.

Not to wait for fear
to understand the meaning of safety.

Teach me to see the blessing while it is still here,
and to thank You for what I have stopped noticing.

Not because I am afraid of losing it,
but because I finally understand
that its staying was never something ordinary.

Perhaps the greatest of Your blessings
are the ones we do not even have the courage to call blessings,

because we have grown so accustomed to their presence
that we began to believe they were ours by right.

And how much of what we called our right
was, in truth…

mercy.

God Is Bigger Than What You're Worried About
The problem that's keeping you up at night is not bigger than the God who holds your future.
Worry has a way of making our problems feel bigger than they really are. We replay worst-case scenarios, try to figure everything out, and carry burdens that were never meant to rest on our shoulders. Before long, our fears begin to feel greater than
our faith. But the size of your problem doesn't change the size of your God. The One who created the universe, parted the Red Sea, and raised Jesus from the dead is more than able to handle whatever you're facing today.
Give Your Worries to God
“Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.” — 1 Peter 5:7

God never asked you to carry every burden by yourself. He invites you to bring every fear, every uncertainty, and every anxious thought to Him. The moment you surrender your worries to God is the moment you make room for His peace. What feels too heavy for you is never too heavy for Him.

One Mission #everyone #mission

I built an audience of over 8,000 people who trusted me with their tech journey, real transitions, real results, real proof.
I shared roadmaps, resources, opportunities and practical advice, and most importantly, I saw people actually use them to make progress.

Then one day, it was gone. Facebook dißbled the account without warning.

I could have quit. Instead, I'm starting again this time, smarter.

A little about me:

I have a degree in Industrial Chemistry, I'm pursuing a degree in Cybersecurity, I'm currently pursuing a professional certification with Google PWAN, and I'm also the founder of PornBlock.

But honestly, the credentials aren't what I'm most proud of.

I'm proud of the 2,000+ beginners I've helped with tech roadmaps, people who came to me confused about where to start, what to learn and how to move from.

And that's why I don't believe in telling everyone to learn the same skill.
Someone might be better suited for UI/UX.
Someone else might thrive in Cybersecurity, Data Analysis, Software Development, Digital Marketing, Product Design or another path entirely.

My job is to help beginners understand their options, choose a realistic path and know what to do next.

I also wrote Win the Job Toolkit — a practical guide for beginners who are tired of applying without knowing what they're doing wrong. It covers things like building a stronger CV, preparing for interviews, positioning yourself properly and understanding how to pursue remote and freelance opportunities.

I'm not starting again with nothing.
I'm starting again with everything I've learned along the way.

And if you're trying to figure out your own path into tech, you're welcome to be my friend.
If you knew me before and wondering where I went, follow me now or you might not see my profile again.

Doing the Proverbs 4 Walk

We make multiple decisions each day, and that's why we need to learn to do the Proverbs 4 Walk.

"We're always making a decision to give up something that we value less for something we value more." Paul Richard, President, Consumer Financial Education Institute

Have you noticed grocery stores put staples like milk and eggs at the back so we have to go through the store to get them?

To avoid temptation, we can go prepared with a list and keep our eyes straight ahead instead of glancing at the aisles of temptation along the way.

Satan employs this tactic too. He lines our life path with costly choices and distractions: immoral sex, selfishness, fear, anger, resentment, envy, etc.

He'd like to divert, delay, or derail us, making us spend all we have before we reach YHWH's goals for our lives.

To avoid temptation, we can do the Proverbs 4 walk: "Let your eyes look straight ahead; fix your gaze directly before you. Give careful thought to the paths for your feet.…" Proverbs 4:25-26

What are some practical ways you walk in the Proverbs 4 path?

Some helpful truths about temptation:

YHWH always provides a way out. Let’s take it!

1 Corinthians 10:13: "No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And YHWH is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it."

It’s all a matter of whom we submit to, YHWH or Satan.

James 4:7: "Submit yourselves, then, to YHWH. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you."

When we give in to temptation, we have no one to blame but ourselves.

James 1:14: "Temptation comes from our own desires, which entice us and drag us away."

***The Mark of the Beast***

This is what I see the Bible says of the mark of the beast:

Revelation 13:16-18 KJV
And *he (the beast of Revelation 13:11) causeth all*, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, *to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads*: [17] And *that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name*. [18] Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding *count the number of the beast*: for *it is the number of a man*; and his number is *Six hundred threescore and six.*

Here the beast of Rev 13:11 causes all but those whose names are written on the Lambs book of Life to receive a mark on their hands and their foreheads.

Revelation 13:8 KJV
And *all that dwell upon the earth shall worship* him, *whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world*.

Now where else in the Bible does it speak of receiving a mark on the forheads or in the arms? If this mark is spoken of in the Bible, then the Bible must provide the answer as to what this mark is.

When we examine the scriptures it points us to these scriptures:

Job 10:14 KJV
*If I sin, then thou markest me*, and *thou wilt not acquit me from mine iniquity*.

Hebrews 10:26-27 KJV
For *if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins*, [27] But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.

We find that Job says that if a man sins, God will mark him and shall not aquit him of his iniquities. Paul later says that if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for our sins.

Does the Bible give evidence of someone who sinned wilfullyagainst the Lord and received a mark?

Yes, it does.

Genesis 4:5-16 KJV
But* unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect*. And *Cain was very wroth*, and his countenance fell. [6] *And the LORD said* unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen? [7] *If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door*. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him. [8] And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that *Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him*. [9] And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper? [10] And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground. [11] And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand; [12] When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth. [13] And Cain said unto the LORD, My punishment is greater than I can bear. [14] Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; *and from thy face shall I be hid*; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me. [15] And the LORD said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And *the LORD set a mark upon Cain*, lest any finding him should kill him. [16] *And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD*, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.

God warned Cain and told him that if he doeth well, he would be accepted and if he did not do well, sin lies at the door. Cain did not take heed to God but rose up against his brother, who had the better sacrifice, and slew him. He sinned willfully after he had received the knowledge of the truth. And God put a mark upon Cain. And after Cain received that mark, it says that Cain went out from the presence of the Lord and that He was hid from the face of the Lord. In other words, the Lord had turned His face from dealing with Cain.

Now, here is an interesting fact, the number of the beast is 666.

There is only one Scripture in the Bible with the number 666:

John 6:66 KJV
_From that time *many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him*._

It speaks of those disciples of Jesus who, having come face to face with the Truth, chose to walk away from Him and to disbelieve Him. Like Cain, they went out from the Presence of the Lord and were hid from the face of the Lord. I do not think it a coincidence that the verse that speaks of this occurrence is the verse that bears the number of the beast. I believe this is God vindicating what the mark of the beast really is.
