• The Money’s Mind

    What if Scripture is not merely a book to be read, but a script containing economic performances waiting to be activated?

    If the Money is the Word, then money is not merely something we manage. There is a Mind behind it—a way of seeing, thinking, creating and performing.

    The question is:

    What does the Money intend to perform economically?

    This is the investigation behind The Money’s Mind.

    The Money is the Word.
    The Money has a Mind.

  • A CALL TO HEAR AND OBEY
    Revelation 2 Kullie Mawolo
    [vs: 17] He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches;...........
    The book of revelation and the whole Bible is the word of God revealed to the church by his holy prophets and apostles,they are words of truth.the word of God demands our utmost attention and obedience because it carries eternal consequences. 
    There is a difference between hearing the sound of God's word and hearing it with a heart ready to obey . What Christ is saying in effect in this verse is "do not merely listen to my  word, take it seriously and respond to it. We can hear sermons, read the Bible , listen to Christian teachings and even agree with what we hear , yet fail to act upon it. 
    True spiritual hearing involves attention, understanding and obedience , hearing God's word carries a responsibility to respond . To be truly blessed is not just hearing the word but obeying what the Lord says.

  • Seek God First (Matthew 6:33)

    What are you chasing?

    Success?

    Money?

    A better job?

    A relationship?

    Recognition?

    A bigger house?

    More followers?

    A better future?

    There is nothing wrong with having goals and dreams.

    God has given us abilities, opportunities, and responsibilities that we should use wisely.

    But there is a danger when the things we want become more important than the God who gave us the ability to pursue them.

    Jesus said:

    “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.”

    Notice the order:

    Seek God first.

    Not after your career.

    Not after your relationships.

    Not after you've achieved your goals.

    Not only when you are in trouble.

    First.

    The world tells us:

    “Build your career first.”

    “Make money first.”

    “Become successful first.”

    “Get everything you want first.”

    Then we can easily begin treating God as something we fit into the remaining space in our lives.

    But God doesn't want to be an afterthought.

    He wants to be at the centre.

    Think about your daily schedule.

    What receives your best attention?

    What occupies your thoughts?

    What determines your decisions?

    What do you spend most of your time pursuing?

    Your priorities reveal what matters most to you.

    You can say that God is first, but your life will eventually show whether that is true.

    Seeking God first means making Him central to your decisions.

    Before accepting an opportunity, ask:

    “Does this honour God?”

    Before entering a relationship, ask:

    “Will this relationship help me grow closer to Christ?”

    Before making a major financial decision, ask:

    “Am I handling what God has given me responsibly?”

    Before choosing how to use your time, ask:

    “What does God want me to do with this day?”

    Seeking God first doesn't mean abandoning your ambitions.

    It means surrendering your ambitions to Him.

    You can pursue a career and still honour God.

    You can build a business and still honour God.

    You can become successful and still remain humble.

    You can have financial goals and still put God first.

    The question isn't whether you have goals.

    The question is:

    Who is at the centre of those goals?

    Are you pursuing success so people will admire you?

    Or are you pursuing excellence so you can use your gifts to serve God and others?

    Are you chasing money because you believe it will finally make you happy?

    Or are you learning to manage resources faithfully and generously?

    Are you seeking recognition?

    Or are you content knowing that God sees your work even when people don't?

    Jesus also warned us about constantly worrying about material things.

    We worry about food.

    Clothing.

    Money.

    Tomorrow.

    Our future.

    And sometimes our pursuit of these things becomes so intense that we forget the God who sustains us.

    You don't have to ignore your responsibilities.

    Work hard.

    Plan wisely.

    Save.

    Learn.

    Build.

    Prepare.

    But don't let anxiety become your master.

    Trust God while you do your part.

    There will always be something else to chase.

    Another achievement.

    Another purchase.

    Another milestone.

    Another level.

    If your heart is always saying, “I'll be happy when I get that next thing,” you may spend your entire life waiting for happiness.

    But contentment begins when you recognize that God is enough.

    Paul learned this kind of contentment.

    He experienced abundance and hardship, yet his confidence wasn't ultimately based on his circumstances.

    His strength was found in Christ.

    And that's the kind of foundation we need.

    Because everything we own can disappear.

    Positions can change.

    Money can come and go.

    People can leave.

    Opportunities can close.

    But God remains.

    And if you have Jesus, you possess something far more valuable than anything this world can offer.

    Salvation.

    Forgiveness.

    Grace.

    A relationship with God.

    A hope that extends beyond this temporary life.

    So today, examine your priorities.

    Maybe you've been so busy building your future that you've neglected your relationship with God.

    Maybe your career has become your identity.

    Maybe money has become your security.

    Maybe your relationship has become your source of happiness.

    Maybe social media has become your source of validation.

    It's time to put things back in their proper place.

    Seek God first.

    Pray first.

    Read His Word.

    Listen to His voice.

    Obey Him.

    Serve Him.

    Love people.

    Work faithfully.

    And trust Him with the results.

    Don't build a successful life and discover later that you left God out of it.

    Build your life with God at the centre.

    When God is first, everything else can find its proper place.

    Today, ask yourself:

    “What has been competing with God for first place in my heart?”

    Then surrender it to Him.

    Not tomorrow.

    Today.

  • *TODAY'S PROPHETIC DECLARATION - THURSDAY, 27TH AUGUST, 2026.*

    *ASK WISELY, SEEK GOD'S WILL*

    Scripture:
    “And she came in straightway with haste unto the king, and asked, saying, I will that thou give me in a charger the head of John the Baptist.” — Mark 6:25 (KJV).

    *Reflection – Not Every Desire Should Become a Request*

    Mark 6:25 is part of the tragic account of Herod's birthday celebration, when Herodias' daughter made a request for the head of John the Baptist. Her request was driven by hatred and manipulation, and it ultimately contributed to a terrible injustice.

    This passage reminds us that desire without wisdom can lead to destruction. Not everything we want is good for us, and not every opportunity to ask for something should be taken.

    As God's children, we must learn to bring our desires before Him and ask:

    “Lord, is this truly Your will for me?”

    Our prayers should not simply be about getting everything we want. They should also be about allowing God to shape what we want.

    Today, ask God for wisdom before opportunity, discernment before decision, and God's will before personal desire.

    *Prophetic Declaration:*
    Today, I declare that God gives me wisdom to discern what is right, beneficial, and pleasing to Him. I shall not be controlled by impulsive desires or pressured into decisions that are contrary to God's will.

    I declare that before I make important requests, decisions, commitments, or promises, I shall seek God's wisdom and direction.

    Today, the Lord shall purify my desires. May He remove every ambition that would take me away from His purpose and replace it with desires that glorify His name.

    I declare that my words shall be guided by wisdom. I shall not use my words to destroy, manipulate, insult, discourage, or harm others. My mouth shall become an instrument of grace, truth, encouragement, and peace.

    I proclaim divine discernment over my family, ministry, work, business, studies, relationships, and destiny. May God help me recognize what is good, what is dangerous, what is timely, and what is not His will for me.

    I declare that I shall not allow anger, bitterness, envy, revenge, pride, or pressure to determine my actions. The Holy Spirit shall govern my heart and guide my decisions.

    Today, I receive grace to say “No” to opportunities that appear attractive but would compromise my values, character, or relationship with God.

    I declare that God shall give me the wisdom to recognize the difference between an open door and a tempting distraction. I will not pursue everything simply because it is available to me.

    I proclaim that my prayers shall increasingly align with God's purposes. Instead of demanding my own way, I will trust the Lord to give me what is truly best according to His wisdom.

    I declare that every decision I make today shall be guided by truth, wisdom, love, integrity, and prayer.

    May my life never become a source of harm to others through careless words or selfish desires. Instead, may I become a vessel through which God's goodness, compassion, and truth flow.

    I will ask wisely.
    I will speak carefully.
    I will choose prayerfully.
    I will act righteously.
    I will seek God's will above my own.

    Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen!

    *Action Steps for today:*
    Begin with prayer: Ask God for wisdom and discernment before making decisions today.

    Read Mark 6:14–29: Reflect on the consequences of Herodias' bitterness, Herod's impulsiveness, and the misuse of power.

    Declare: “Lord, purify my desires and guide my decisions according to Your perfect will.”

    Think before speaking: Before making a request, promise, response, or commitment, pause and consider its consequences.

    Examine your desires: Ask yourself, “Is what I want consistent with God's Word, love, wisdom, and righteousness?”

    Reject destructive emotions: Refuse to allow anger, revenge, jealousy, pride, or bitterness to control your actions.

    Seek godly counsel: When facing an important decision, pray and seek advice from mature and trustworthy believers.

    End with thanksgiving: Thank God for His wisdom and ask Him to continue directing your steps.

    *Prayer:*
    Heavenly Father,
    Thank You for Your Word, which teaches me wisdom and helps me understand the consequences of my choices.

    Lord, give me a discerning heart. Teach me to distinguish between what I want and what You desire for me.

    Purify my motives and desires. Remove from me every ambition, anger, bitterness, pride, envy, or selfish desire that can lead me away from Your purpose.

    Guard my mouth. Let my words bring life rather than destruction, encouragement rather than discouragement, and peace rather than conflict.

    Give me wisdom in my family, ministry, work, business, studies, relationships, and every decision I make.

    Help me not to pursue every opportunity simply because it is available. Give me discernment to know which doors are from You and which ones I should leave closed.

    When I am under pressure, help me remain calm. When I am angry, help me exercise self-control. When I am uncertain, help me wait for Your direction.

    Lord, let my desires become aligned with Your will. May I never allow personal ambition to become more important than obedience to You.

    Give me the wisdom to ask wisely, speak carefully, and act righteously.

    May Your will be done in my life, above my own desires and plans.

    In Jesus' mighty name. Amen.

    *Blessing for today:*
    May the Lord fill you with wisdom, discernment, self-control, and spiritual understanding.

    May He guide every request you make, every word you speak, and every decision you take.

    May God protect you from impulsive choices, destructive relationships, harmful influences, and opportunities that would take you away from His purpose.

    May your family, ministry, work, business, studies, relationships, and destiny be governed by divine wisdom.

    May the Lord give you grace to recognize the right opportunities, courage to reject the wrong ones, and patience to wait for His perfect timing.

    May your desires be purified.
    May your words be gracious.
    May your decisions be wise.
    May your motives be pure.
    May God's will prevail in your life.

    “I WILL THAT THOU GIVE ME…” — MARK 6:25

    May the Lord teach you not only what to ask for, but also what is truly worth asking for. May His wisdom guide you today and always.

    Good morning beloved and have a blessed, wise, discerning, and purpose-driven day!
    Shalom!

  • TODAY'S KINGDOM INSIGHTS:

    SERMON TOPIC:

    THE REAL REASON BARABBAS WAS SET FREE AND NOT JESUS.

    Main Text:

    Matthew 27:15–26; Mark 15:6–15; Luke 23:13–25; John 18:38–40


    There are moments in Scripture that make us stop and ask, “How could this happen?”
    Jesus was innocent.
    Barabbas was guilty.
    Jesus healed the sick.
    Barabbas was a criminal.
    Jesus preached love, forgiveness, and the Kingdom of God.
    Barabbas was associated with rebellion and violence.
    Yet the crowd shouted:
    “Release Barabbas!”
    And concerning Jesus:
    “Crucify Him!”
    It looks like injustice won.
    But here is the deeper truth:
    Barabbas was not simply released because Jesus lost the argument. Barabbas was released because Jesus was going to take his place.
    The story of Barabbas is actually a picture of the Gospel.
    Barabbas represents the guilty sinner.
    Jesus represents the innocent Savior.
    Barabbas walked away free because Jesus walked toward the cross.

    And that is the mystery of grace:
    The guilty goes free because the innocent One takes his place.
    1. BARABBAS WAS GUILTY, BUT JESUS WAS INNOCENT
    Pilate examined Jesus and repeatedly found no sufficient reason to condemn Him.
    Luke 23:22 says:
    «“I have found no reason for death in Him.”»
    Jesus was innocent.
    But Barabbas had committed serious crimes.
    Mark 15:7 tells us that Barabbas had been involved in rebellion and murder.
    So, humanly speaking, the choice should have been obvious.
    But the crowd chose Barabbas.
    Why?
    Because the cross was not an accident.
    Jesus had already declared that He came to give His life for others.
    Mark 10:45 says:
    «“For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.”»
    Jesus knew why He came.
    He came to become the substitute.

    Spiritual Insight

    Sometimes we ask, “Why did Jesus have to die?”
    The answer is partly found in Barabbas.
    Someone had to bear the consequence of sin.
    And Jesus willingly took that place.
    2. BARABBAS RECEIVED WHAT JESUS DESERVED
    This is the shocking part of the story.
    Barabbas deserved punishment.
    Jesus deserved no punishment.
    Yet Barabbas walked out of prison.
    Jesus walked toward Golgotha.
    Barabbas went free.
    Jesus was condemned.
    Barabbas was released.
    Jesus was crucified.
    This is substitution.
    The guilty person goes free because the innocent person takes his place.
    Isaiah 53:5 declares:
    «“But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities.”»

    Notice the language:
    Our transgressions.
    Our iniquities.
    Our punishment.
    The cross was personal.
    Jesus was not dying because He had sinned.
    He was dying because we had sinned.

    Think About This

    Barabbas probably did not understand everything that was happening.
    He may have walked out of that prison wondering how he escaped death.
    But we know something he may not have understood:
    Another Man died in his place.
    And spiritually, that is our story.
    We were guilty.
    Christ took our place.
    3. THE RELEASE OF BARABBAS REVEALS THE DEPTH OF GOD'S GRACE
    Grace is not God pretending that sin does not matter.
    Grace is God dealing with sin through the sacrifice of Christ.
    Romans 5:8 says:
    «“But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”»
    That means Jesus did not wait for us to become perfect before He loved us.
    He loved us while we were still sinners.
    Barabbas did not earn his freedom.
    He did not negotiate his release.
    He did not pay the governor.
    He simply received an unexpected release.
    That is grace.
    Grace is receiving what you could never earn because someone else paid the price.
    You cannot boast about salvation.
    You cannot say, “I saved myself.”
    No.
    Jesus saved you.
    4. THE CROWD CHOSE BARABBAS, BUT GOD WAS WORKING THROUGH THE CROSS
    The crowd thought they were making the final decision.
    But heaven had already established a redemptive purpose.
    Acts 2:23 says that Jesus was delivered according to the “determined purpose and foreknowledge of God.”
    This does not mean the people were innocent.
    Their choices were still sinful.
    But God was able to accomplish His redemptive plan through what sinful people intended for evil.
    This is one of the mysteries of God's sovereignty.
    People thought:
    “We are getting rid of Jesus.”
    God was accomplishing:
    “I am providing salvation for humanity.”

    The cross looked like defeat.
    But it became victory.
    The grave looked like the end.
    But resurrection was coming.
    Never Judge God's Work Too Early
    There may be seasons in your life when everything looks like it is going in the wrong direction.
    But remember Calvary.
    Friday looked like defeat. Sunday revealed the victory.
    Do not conclude the story while God is still writing it.
    5. BARABBAS IS A PICTURE OF EVERY SINNER WHO RECEIVES SALVATION
    We often read the story and say:
    “Why did they release Barabbas?”
    But there is another question:
    “What if I were Barabbas?”
    What if you were the one sitting in that prison?
    What if you knew punishment was coming?
    What if you knew you were guilty?
    Then suddenly, the story becomes personal.
    Barabbas walked out because Jesus took his place.
    And every person who comes to Christ in genuine faith can say:
    “I deserved judgment, but Christ took my place.”
    2 Corinthians 5:21 says:
    «“For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.”»
    That is the Gospel.
    Jesus took our place so that we could receive His righteousness.

    BIBLICAL CASE STUDY:

    THE CROSS

    Look at the sequence.
    Barabbas: Guilty.
    Jesus: Innocent.
    Barabbas: Imprisoned.
    Jesus: Free.
    Barabbas: Released.
    Jesus: Condemned.
    Barabbas: Walked away.
    Jesus: Walked toward the cross.
    Barabbas: Lived because another died.
    Believers: Receive eternal life because Christ died and rose again.
    The cross is therefore more than a religious symbol.
    It is the place where justice and mercy met.
    Justice says sin must be dealt with.
    Mercy says sinners can be saved.
    At the cross, Jesus bore the judgment so that mercy could reach us.

    PRACTICAL LESSONS FOR CHRISTIANS.

    1. Never take salvation for granted.
    You were not saved because you were better than someone else.
    You were saved by grace.
    Therefore, remain humble.
    2. Stop trying to earn God's love
    You cannot work your way into salvation.
    Serve God because you love Him, not because you are trying to purchase His acceptance.
    3. Forgive others
    If Christ has forgiven you, you must learn to extend forgiveness to others.
    4. Live like someone who has been set free
    Barabbas walked out of prison.
    The believer has also been delivered from the dominion of sin.
    Do not keep living like a prisoner when Christ has made you free.
    5. Tell someone about Jesus
    Your testimony may be simple:
    “I was guilty, but Jesus took my place.”
    That is powerful enough.

    QUESTIONS FOR REFLECTION

    1. Have I truly understood what Jesus accomplished for me on the cross?
    2. Am I trying to earn God's acceptance instead of receiving His grace?
    3. Do I live like someone who has been set free?
    4. Have I truly repented of my sins?
    5. Who can I tell about the saving grace of Jesus Christ?
    6. Do I extend to others the same mercy I have received from Christ?

    POWERFUL PRAYER POINTS

    1. Prayer of Thanksgiving
    Father, thank You for sending Jesus Christ to take my place. Thank You for Your mercy and grace. I will never take my salvation for granted. In Jesus' name, Amen.
    2. Prayer of Repentance
    Lord Jesus, forgive me for every sin, disobedience, pride, and rebellion in my life. Cleanse me and help me walk faithfully with You. Amen.
    3. Prayer for Freedom
    Every chain of sin, addiction, fear, and spiritual bondage in my life, break in the name of Jesus. I declare that whom the Son sets free is free indeed. Amen.
    4. Prayer for Grace
    Father, help me to understand the depth of Your grace and to live every day with gratitude for what Christ has done for me. Amen.
    5. Prayer for Others
    Lord, use my life to bring other Barabbases to Jesus—people who feel condemned, rejected, broken, and far from You. Let my testimony point them to the cross. Amen.

    DEEP SPIRITUAL TRUTH

    Here is the heart of the message:
    Barabbas was released, not because he was innocent, but because another took his place.
    And that is the Gospel.
    We are not saved because we are perfect.
    We are saved because Jesus is perfect.
    We are not accepted because we deserve it.
    We are accepted because Christ paid the price.
    We are not standing before God because of our righteousness.
    We stand because of His righteousness.
    The cross says:
    “Your sin is serious, but God's grace is greater.”

    CALL TO ACTION

    Today, do not simply admire the story of Barabbas.
    See yourself in it.
    You were guilty.
    Christ took your place.
    You were condemned.
    Christ bore the condemnation.
    You were far from God.
    Christ opened the way back to the Father.
    The question is not merely:
    “Why was Barabbas released?”
    The deeper question is:
    “What will I do with the Jesus who took my place?”
    Will you continue living for yourself?
    Or will you surrender your life completely to Him?
    Will you keep returning to the prison of sin?
    Or will you walk in the freedom Christ purchased for you?
    Jesus took your place.
    Now give Him your life.
    «“Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.” — John 8:36»
    You are not free because you were innocent.
    You are free because Jesus became your substitute.
    THE CROSS WAS HIS PLACE.
    THE FREEDOM WAS YOURS.
    THE SACRIFICE WAS HIS.
    THE GRACE IS YOURS.
    Come to Jesus. Remain in Jesus. Live for Jesus. And tell the world about Jesus.
    Amen.

    TODAY'S KINGDOM INSIGHTS: SERMON TOPIC: THE REAL REASON BARABBAS WAS SET FREE AND NOT JESUS. Main Text: Matthew 27:15–26; Mark 15:6–15; Luke 23:13–25; John 18:38–40 There are moments in Scripture that make us stop and ask, “How could this happen?” Jesus was innocent. Barabbas was guilty. Jesus healed the sick. Barabbas was a criminal. Jesus preached love, forgiveness, and the Kingdom of God. Barabbas was associated with rebellion and violence. Yet the crowd shouted: “Release Barabbas!” And concerning Jesus: “Crucify Him!” It looks like injustice won. But here is the deeper truth: Barabbas was not simply released because Jesus lost the argument. Barabbas was released because Jesus was going to take his place. The story of Barabbas is actually a picture of the Gospel. Barabbas represents the guilty sinner. Jesus represents the innocent Savior. Barabbas walked away free because Jesus walked toward the cross. And that is the mystery of grace: The guilty goes free because the innocent One takes his place. 1. BARABBAS WAS GUILTY, BUT JESUS WAS INNOCENT Pilate examined Jesus and repeatedly found no sufficient reason to condemn Him. Luke 23:22 says: «“I have found no reason for death in Him.”» Jesus was innocent. But Barabbas had committed serious crimes. Mark 15:7 tells us that Barabbas had been involved in rebellion and murder. So, humanly speaking, the choice should have been obvious. But the crowd chose Barabbas. Why? Because the cross was not an accident. Jesus had already declared that He came to give His life for others. Mark 10:45 says: «“For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.”» Jesus knew why He came. He came to become the substitute. Spiritual Insight Sometimes we ask, “Why did Jesus have to die?” The answer is partly found in Barabbas. Someone had to bear the consequence of sin. And Jesus willingly took that place. 2. BARABBAS RECEIVED WHAT JESUS DESERVED This is the shocking part of the story. Barabbas deserved punishment. Jesus deserved no punishment. Yet Barabbas walked out of prison. Jesus walked toward Golgotha. Barabbas went free. Jesus was condemned. Barabbas was released. Jesus was crucified. This is substitution. The guilty person goes free because the innocent person takes his place. Isaiah 53:5 declares: «“But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities.”» Notice the language: Our transgressions. Our iniquities. Our punishment. The cross was personal. Jesus was not dying because He had sinned. He was dying because we had sinned. Think About This Barabbas probably did not understand everything that was happening. He may have walked out of that prison wondering how he escaped death. But we know something he may not have understood: Another Man died in his place. And spiritually, that is our story. We were guilty. Christ took our place. 3. THE RELEASE OF BARABBAS REVEALS THE DEPTH OF GOD'S GRACE Grace is not God pretending that sin does not matter. Grace is God dealing with sin through the sacrifice of Christ. Romans 5:8 says: «“But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”» That means Jesus did not wait for us to become perfect before He loved us. He loved us while we were still sinners. Barabbas did not earn his freedom. He did not negotiate his release. He did not pay the governor. He simply received an unexpected release. That is grace. Grace is receiving what you could never earn because someone else paid the price. You cannot boast about salvation. You cannot say, “I saved myself.” No. Jesus saved you. 4. THE CROWD CHOSE BARABBAS, BUT GOD WAS WORKING THROUGH THE CROSS The crowd thought they were making the final decision. But heaven had already established a redemptive purpose.

What if you knew punishment was coming? What if you knew you were guilty? Then suddenly, the story becomes personal. Barabbas walked out because Jesus took his place. And every person who comes to Christ in genuine faith can say: “I deserved judgment, but Christ took my place.” 2 Corinthians 5:21 says: «“For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.”» That is the Gospel. Jesus took our place so that we could receive His righteousness. BIBLICAL CASE STUDY: THE CROSS Look at the sequence. Barabbas: Guilty. Jesus: Innocent. Barabbas: Imprisoned. Jesus: Free.

  • IF YOU HAVE JESUS, YOU HAVE LIFE

    ”And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son (1 John 5:11).”

    Christianity is the unveiling of a present reality: Christ in you; His life, glory, righteousness, wisdom, dominion and grace unveiled and revealed in and through you. This is real. Christianity isn’t a religion. It’s the very life and nature of God imparted to you in Christ and lived through the power of the Holy Spirit.

    This life isn’t something you’re going to get when you get to heaven. The Apostle John states it as a present truth in our opening scripture: “...God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.” Then he continues in the 12th verse, “He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.” This is absolute.

    You can’t have eternal life any other way. If you have Jesus, you have it. Read His words in John 17:3 “And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.” He had said earlier in John 5:24, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.”

    Then He made a most profound declaration in the 26th verse, “For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself.” This helps to understand why Jesus is, Himself, eternal life and the only One who can give it: _*“…we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life” (1 John 5:20).

    Remember His words in John 14:6, _*“…I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” Being born again, you’ve come to the Father through Jesus Christ and have received His life. Therefore, be ever conscious of His divine life in you (1 John 5:13). Let it go beyond doctrine to consciousness and experience. Eternal life is what makes you superior to Satan and the limitations of this world. It’s why you have the capacity to live above sin, sickness and death, and live from God instead of trying to reach Him.

    FURTHER STUDY:

    1 John 5:11-13 (KJV) ”And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. 13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.”

    Colossians 1:26-27 (NIV) ”the mystery that has been kept hidden for ages and generations, but is now disclosed to the Lord’s people. 27 To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.”

    1 John 5:20 (NIV) ”We know also that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true. And we are in him who is true by being in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.”

  • There is a difference between being saved and living as a disciple of Jesus—and understanding that difference can completely change how we approach the Christian life.

    https://patrickryanlewis.com/2026/08/25/saved-by-grace-called-to-follow-the-difference-between-salvation-and-discipleship/

    Salvation is a gift. We are saved by God's grace through faith in Jesus Christ, not because we have worked hard enough, behaved well enough, or earned God's acceptance.

    But salvation is not the end of the journey.

    Jesus calls those He saves to follow Him.

    “If anyone will come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.” — Luke 9:23 MEV

    Discipleship is the daily decision to surrender our plans, habits, relationships, priorities, attitudes, and desires to Jesus. We don't obey Christ to earn salvation. We obey because we belong to the One who saved us.

    Salvation changes our standing before God.
    Discipleship changes the way we live.
    Salvation rests on what Christ has done.
    Discipleship responds to what Christ has said.

    The question isn't only, “Am I saved?”

    We should also be asking:
    “Am I actually following Jesus?”

  • Hello, I would like to share with you the message from 27 August 2026 from “The Good Seed” daily calendar.


    Behold now, I am old. I do not know the day of my death. (Genesis 27:2)

    No one knows when he will die
    For over 30 years I went to the same dentist. But he grew older and began to plan his retirement. A successor started working in the practice, and for two years they planned to share the workload. I had another appointment with the older dentist for the annual check-up. Then suddenly, the practice assistant called me and informed me that the dentist had unexpectedly died of a heart failure two weeks before.
     This news troubled me and once again reminded me that no one can know the day of his death. Therefore, it isn’t enough just to plan for retirement. We should also be prepared for death.
     The most important thing is not to die unreconciled with God. Therefore, reconcile yourself with Him now! He knows everything we have done in our lives – the good and the bad deeds. When you confess your sins to God, they are covered by the blood of the Lord Jesus. As a result, you will die with the certainty that your future is with Christ in heaven!
     It is also important to settle personal matters before death comes. Many things are easier for those who survive you if you leave everything in good order. Abraham did this, as we can read in Genesis 25:5-10.
     “There is but a step between me and death.” (1 Samuel 20:3)

    Today’s reading: Judges 1:1-15 – 2 Corinthians 1:1-7
