Please pray for our family! President Trump has paused immigrant visas for Ethiopians, and the pause is currently set to be permanent. Pray with us that this delay is immediately lifted so we can go home and build our family, home, and ministry together. We know this is in God's will!

We praise God for blessing us with marriage and a daughter. As missionaries—an American husband and an Ethiopian wife—we've seen God guide us through every step of the immigration process. Our daughter has her US passport and my wife's marriage visa is approved. Now we just need the path cleared so we can all return to the USA together. God bless all who pray for us in Jesus' name! Amen!

HOW CAN WE TALK WITH JESUS

Talking with Jesus is simply praying. You do not need fancy or big words. Just talk to Him out loud or in your mind like you would talk to a close friend or a loving father. Be honest about your feelings, your worries, and your joys.

Steps to Start a Conversation:

- Find a quiet place: Go somewhere with no distractions so you can focus your mind.

- Be yourself: Do not try to sound holy or perform. Jesus wants your real, honest heart.

- Share what is on your mind: Tell Him what makes you happy, and tell Him what hurts.

- Listen and be still: Prayer is two-way. After you speak, pause, quiet your thoughts, and read the Bible to hear His guidance.

- Adoration: Praise Jesus for who He is and His goodness.

- Confession: Tell Him your mistakes and ask for His forgiveness.

- Thanksgiving: Thank Him for the good things in your life.

- Supplication: Ask Him for help, strength, or healing for yourself and others.

Be a Peacemaker (Matthew 5:9)

We live in a world where conflict is everywhere.

Arguments happen in families.

Friendships break over misunderstandings.

People fight over opinions.

Social media turns disagreements into battles.

Sometimes, even Christians can become so focused on proving themselves right that they forget to show the character of Christ.

But Jesus gives us a different calling:

“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.”

Notice that Jesus didn't say, “Blessed are the people who win every argument.”

He said:

“Blessed are the peacemakers.”

Being a peacemaker doesn't mean avoiding every difficult conversation.

It doesn't mean pretending that wrong is right.

It doesn't mean allowing people to mistreat you.

And it doesn't mean remaining silent when something needs to be addressed.

Being a peacemaker means choosing a response that seeks reconciliation rather than revenge.

Sometimes peace begins with listening.

Before responding in anger, listen.

Before assuming someone's intentions, ask questions.

Before posting something hurtful, pause.

Before repeating someone's mistake to others, consider whether your words will help or destroy.

The Bible reminds us that a gentle answer can turn away anger.

Your words have power.

You can use them to heal or to wound.

To build or to tear down.

To reconcile or to divide.

Think about your relationships today.

Is there someone you're angry with?

Someone you haven't spoken to?

Someone you need to forgive?

Someone you need to apologize to?

Maybe you've been waiting for the other person to make the first move.

But sometimes following Jesus means having the courage to take the first step.

Say:

“I'm sorry.”

Say:

“Can we talk?”

Say:

“I forgive you.”

Say:

“Let's work this out.”

Those words don't make you weak.

They can demonstrate the strength of Christ working in you.

Jesus Himself is our greatest example.

He came to reconcile sinful humanity to God.

The cross shows us that God doesn't simply ignore broken relationships.

He made a way for reconciliation.

And if we have received God's grace, we should become people who extend grace to others.

So don't be the person who adds fuel to every argument.

Don't spread gossip.

Don't celebrate someone else's failure.

Don't use social media to attack people.

Don't allow pride to destroy relationships that could be restored.

Instead, be the person who brings calm into chaotic situations.

Be the person who listens.

Be the person who encourages forgiveness.

Be the person who speaks truth with love.

Be the person who points people toward Christ.

And remember:

You cannot control how everyone responds to you.

Your responsibility is to control your own response and pursue peace wherever it is possible.

As Romans 12:18 teaches, “If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.”

Sometimes peace will require boundaries.

Sometimes it will require distance.

Sometimes reconciliation won't be possible immediately.

But even then, you can refuse to allow hatred to control your heart.

Pray for those who hurt you.

Give the situation to God.

Choose grace over revenge.

Choose wisdom over anger.

Choose peace over pride.

In a world that is quick to fight, be someone who brings the peace of Christ.

Is there a relationship or conflict where you can take one step toward peace today?

*TODAY'S PROPHETIC DECLARATION - TUESDAY, 18TH AUGUST, 2026.*

*LORD, OPEN MY EYES TO YOUR WONDERFUL TRUTH*

Scripture:
“Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law.” — Psalm 119:18 (KJV).

*Reflection – Open My Eyes, Lord*

Psalm 119:18 is a humble prayer for spiritual revelation. The Psalmist understood that reading God's Word is not merely an intellectual exercise; we need God's help to truly understand, receive, and apply His truth.

There may be wonderful things God wants us to see—truths about His character, promises concerning our lives, instructions for our journey, and wisdom for our decisions. But we need spiritual eyes to recognize them.

Today, let your prayer be: “Lord, open my eyes.” Open my eyes to understand Your Word. Open my eyes to recognize Your opportunities. Open my eyes to see what You are doing. Open my eyes to recognize people I should help and paths I should avoid.

When God opens our spiritual eyes, confusion gives way to understanding, fear gives way to faith, and uncertainty gives way to divine direction.

*Prophetic Declaration:*
Today, I declare that my spiritual eyes are opened to the wonderful truths of God's Word. I receive divine understanding, wisdom, discernment, and revelation through the Holy Spirit.

I declare that confusion shall not control my mind. The Lord shall illuminate my understanding and help me distinguish between what is right and what is wrong, what is beneficial and what is harmful, and what is God's will and what is not.

Today, I receive grace to understand God's Word deeply and apply it faithfully. The Scriptures shall not merely be words that I read; they shall become living truth that transforms my thoughts, attitudes, decisions, and conduct.

I declare that God shall open my eyes to opportunities that align with His purpose for my life. I shall recognize the doors He opens, the relationships He brings, and the assignments He places before me.

I proclaim that my eyes shall be opened to see hidden dangers and avoid destructive paths. The Lord shall give me discernment concerning people, decisions, opportunities, and circumstances.

I declare divine revelation over my family, ministry, work, business, studies, relationships, and destiny. May the Lord show me what I need to know and teach me what I need to learn for every season of my life.

Today, I receive wisdom to make sound decisions. I shall not be governed by impulse, fear, pressure, or confusion. I shall seek God's counsel and allow His Word to guide my steps.

I declare that every veil of spiritual blindness, ignorance, misunderstanding, and deception is removed by the light of God's truth. I shall walk in the light and grow continually in the knowledge of Christ.

I proclaim that as my understanding increases, my life shall produce good fruit. I shall become wiser in my speech, more patient in my relationships, more faithful in my service, and more effective in fulfilling my God-given assignment.

Today, I declare that I will not miss what God is showing me. I will not overlook divine opportunities because of fear. I will not reject God's instructions because of pride. I will have a teachable heart and a willing spirit.

Lord, open my eyes.
Open my understanding.
Open my spiritual perception.
Let me behold the wonders in Your Word.
Let me see what You want me to see and understand what You want me to understand.

Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen!

*Action Steps for today:*
Begin with prayer: Before reading the Bible today, pray: “Lord, open my eyes and give me understanding.”

Read Psalm 119: Spend time meditating on the importance and power of God's Word.

Declare: “My spiritual eyes are opened; I receive wisdom, revelation, and understanding from God's Word.”

Write down one truth: Record one thing God teaches you from today's Bible reading and consider how you can apply it.

Seek God's direction: Before making an important decision today, pause and ask God for wisdom.

Remain teachable: Be willing to receive correction, instruction, and godly counsel.

End with thanksgiving: Thank God for every truth He has revealed to you throughout the day.

*Prayer:*
Heavenly Father,
I come before You today with a humble heart and ask: “Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law.”

Open my spiritual eyes. Open my understanding. Remove every veil of ignorance, confusion, deception, and spiritual blindness from my life.

Give me grace to understand Your Word and apply it to my daily life. Let Your Word guide my thoughts, decisions, relationships, ministry, work, business, studies, and every area of my life.

Lord, show me the opportunities You have prepared for me. Help me recognize the doors You want me to enter and the paths You want me to avoid.

Give me discernment to recognize what is from You and wisdom to respond appropriately. Let me never be too proud to learn or too distracted to hear Your voice.

Open my eyes to see Your goodness even in difficult seasons. Help me recognize Your hand at work when circumstances do not look the way I expected.

May Your Word become a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. Let my life continually reflect the wisdom and truth I receive from You.

Open my eyes, Lord, and let me behold Your wonders!

Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

*Blessing for today:*
May the Lord open your spiritual eyes and fill you with divine wisdom and understanding. May His Word become clearer to you, His voice become more recognizable, and His direction become more evident.

May God open your eyes to new opportunities, divine connections, hidden dangers, and the wonderful things He is doing in your life.

May your family, ministry, work, business, studies, and destiny be guided by the light of God's Word.

May you never walk in confusion when divine wisdom is available to you. May the Holy Spirit illuminate your path and lead you into God's perfect will.

Your eyes are opened.
Your understanding is enlightened.
Your discernment is sharpened.
Your faith is strengthened.
You shall behold the wonders of God's Word.

“OPEN THOU MINE EYES, THAT I MAY BEHOLD WONDROUS THINGS OUT OF THY LAW.” — PSALM 119:18

Good morning beloved and do have a blessed, insightful, wisdom-filled, and revelation-filled day.
Shalom!

wait on God
Waiting on the Lord is not wasted time; it is preparation time.

When you feel stuck in a season of waiting, it can be easy to lose heart. However, biblical waiting is an active, hopeful pause that builds your spiritual endurance..

Why Waiting on the Lord Matters :It shifts your focus: It moves your eyes from your problems to God's power.

It renews your strength: Like an eagle resting before flight, waiting restores your energy.

It aligns your timing: God sees the whole map; He moves when the time is exactly right..


It protects you: Sometimes a "wait" is actually God shielding you from an unseen danger

.A Prayer for the Waiting Season

Dear God,Some days, this waiting feels heavy and long. My heart feels anxious, and I want to rush ahead.

Please help me to rest in Your perfect timing today.Give me the strength to stay patient.

Fill my mind with peace when doubt creeps in. I choose to believe that Your plans for me are good, even when I cannot see the next step.

Strengthen my heart right now.
Remind me that You are working behind the scenes.In Jesus' name, Amen.

THE POWER OF THE TONGUE

Speak Life • Guard Your Words

ANCHOR SCRIPTURE

Proverbs 21:23 (KJV) “Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles.”

1. WORDS HAVE POWER

Your words can build or destroy, encourage or hurt, heal or discourage.

Think before you speak.

Avoid: Gossip • Lies • Insults • Anger • Negative declarations

Proverbs 18:21 (KJV) “Death and life are in the power of the tongue...”

3. SPEAK TO BUILD

Ephesians 4:29 (KJV) “...that which is good to the use of edifying...”

Before you speak, ask:

Is it true? Is it necessary? Will it build?

4. CONTROL YOUR TONGUE

When angry—pause.
When hurt—don't speak from the wound.
When blessed—give thanks.

5. SPEAK FAITH, NOT DEFEAT

Don't keep saying:
“I can't.” “I'm finished.”

Say:

“God is my strength.”
“I will not give up."
“God is with me.”

Faith-filled words don't deny reality; they refuse to surrender to defeat.

KEY LESSON

1. Think before speaking.
2. Guard your tongue.
3. Speak truth.
4. Build others.
5. Control your anger.
6. Speak life.

FINAL CHARGE

Your tongue is small, but its impact is great.

Don't use your mouth to destroy what you are praying for.

Speak wisely.
Speak graciously.
Speak life.

PRAYER

Father, help me to control my tongue and use my words wisely. Let my words bring encouragement, healing and hope. Keep me from destructive speech, and let everything I say honour You. In Jesus' name, Amen.

PART 3 — IF NOBODY CAN CORRECT YOU, YOU ARE IN DANGER

Can anybody correct you without you becoming angry or defensive?

Pride can make us believe that we are always right. It can make us reject advice simply because we don't like who is giving it.

But wisdom listens.

You don't have to accept every criticism—but don't reject every correction.

Pause. Listen. Pray.

“Lord, what can I learn from this?”

A humble heart doesn't say, “I know everything.”

It says:

“Teach me.”

Proverbs 12:15

Part 4 is coming: When Success Becomes a Test.

Are You an Intentional Christian?

By Pastor Joseph Clark

Life does not simply happen to us. At least, it should not. There are circumstances we cannot control. There are things that happen to us that we never anticipated, and there are seasons when we have little choice over what comes our way. But within all of that, God has given us something extraordinarily important:

The freedom to choose how we will live before Him.

We should never be content merely to hope that our faith is genuine. We are called to deliberately follow Christ, deliberately obey His Word, deliberately love others, deliberately serve, deliberately grow—and deliberately bear fruit. The Christian life is not a spectator sport.

Let me be absolutely clear: we are not saved by our good works. The Bible teaches that salvation is by grace through faith, not something we earn through religious accomplishments or our own efforts. We cannot purchase forgiveness by doing enough good deeds. We cannot impress God into saving us.

Paul writes:

“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works.”

Ephesians 2:8–9

Amen.

But sometimes Christians stop reading there. The very next verse says:

“For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”

Ephesians 2:10

Notice the order. We are not saved by good works. We are saved for good works. Works are not the root of our salvation; they are supposed to be the fruit of our salvation.

That distinction is absolutely essential. A person does not become a Christian because he produces fruit. Rather, because he has been brought into Christ, his life should increasingly begin to produce fruit.

I have observed that some Christians use the “by faith, not works” argument as a cop-out to justify a lazy, fruitless walk.

Jesus Himself said:

“By their fruit you will recognize them.”

Matthew 7:16

He did not say, “Don’t worry about fruit because you believe.” He said:

“Every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.”

Matthew 7:17

There is a dangerous misunderstanding that can sometimes enter Christian thinking. A person says, “I am saved by faith and not works.” That statement is true. But then he concludes, “Therefore, it doesn’t matter whether my life produces anything.”

That conclusion is not biblical.

James puts the matter bluntly:

“Faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.”

James 2:17

James isn’t teaching that we purchase salvation by our deeds. He is teaching that genuine faith is living faith.

If I tell you that I have a fire burning in my house, but you enter the house and find no heat, no light, no flame, and no evidence whatsoever of fire, you would have good reason to question my claim.

In the same way, if someone claims to belong to Christ but deliberately refuses to grow, refuses to obey, refuses to serve, refuses to love, refuses to forgive, and refuses to bear any spiritual fruit, we should not simply congratulate that person by saying, “Well, you’re saved by faith, so none of that matters.”

Jesus never taught such complacency.

Consider one of the most sobering statements Jesus ever made. In Matthew 7:21–23, Jesus describes people who will stand before Him on the day of judgment. They will say that they did things in His name. And Jesus will say:

“I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!”

Matthew 7:23

That should cause every professing Christian to pause.

Jesus did not say, “You weren’t sincere enough.” He did not say, “You didn’t perform enough religious deeds.” He said, “I never knew you.”

The issue is ultimately relationship with Christ.

Likewise, Jesus gives a similar warning in the Parable of the Ten Virgins. Some of the virgins were complacent and unprepared for the bridegroom. When he arrived, they were shut out of the wedding feast. The warning is unmistakable: we must not live carelessly or presume upon the grace of God.

A person can say the right things, use Christian vocabulary, attend church, perform religious activities, and even speak about Jesus—and yet not actually belong to Him.

This is why we should never merely sit back and say, “I hope my faith is genuine.” We should examine our lives. We should pursue Christ. We should repent when we sin. We should seek holiness. We should love our neighbor. We should forgive. We should serve. We should pray. We should study God’s Word. We should proclaim the Gospel. We should bear fruit.

Not because these things purchase our salvation—but because Christ has saved us and called us to live differently.

Our fruitfulness should also be expressed through obedience to Christ’s Great Commission.

Jesus said:

“I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last.”

John 15:16

That is not passive language.

Go. Bear fruit.

Christ did not save us so that we could sit comfortably on the sidelines of Christianity. He called us into a life of purpose.

Jesus also said:

“This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.”

John 15:8

There is that word again: fruit.

Fruit is evidence of life.

Wake Up and Bear Fruit

Do you see what is happening in this fallen world today?

Paganism. False religions.

They are boldly, deliberately, and intentionally seeking to influence and claim the hearts and minds of people throughout the world.

Our answer should be bold, fruitful evangelism!

Wake up!

Use your God-given gifts in any way you can to share His Gospel.

An apple tree doesn’t produce apples in order to become an apple tree. It produces apples because it is an apple tree.

Likewise, Christians don’t perform good works in order to become God’s children. We bear fruit because, through faith in Christ, God has made us His children.

This brings us back to our central question:

What are you going to do with the life God has given you?

You cannot choose every circumstance. But you can choose whether you will trust God in those circumstances.

You can choose whether you will forgive.

You can choose whether you will serve.

You can choose whether you will encourage someone who is discouraged.

You can choose whether you will open your Bible.

You can choose whether you will pray.

You can choose whether you will share your faith.

You can choose whether you will repent.

You can choose whether you will obey Christ when obedience is difficult.

You can choose whether your Christianity will be merely something you claim—or something you deliberately live.

Paul told the Philippians:

“Work out your salvation with fear and trembling.”

Philippians 2:12

Paul did not mean, “Work for your salvation.” He was writing to people who were already Christians. The meaning is that the salvation God has worked into your life should be worked out in the way you live.

Your faith should become visible.

Your character should change.

Your priorities should change.

Your relationships should change.

Your choices should change.

Your life should increasingly resemble the Christ you profess to follow.

There is a difference between saying, “I hope I’m a faithful Christian,” and saying, “By the grace of God, I will deliberately seek to become a faithful Christian.”

The first can become passive.

The second is intentional.

What Will You Do With What God Has Given You?

Do you remember the Parable of the Talents in Matthew 25:14–30?

Are you the servant who was given one talent and buried it in the ground rather than using it?

To that servant, the master said:

“You wicked, lazy servant!”

Matthew 25:26

The judgment concludes:

“And throw that worthless servant outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”

Matthew 25:30

Or are you the servant to whom the Lord will say:

“Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!”

Matthew 25:21

Let me pause and ask you right now:

Is this message off-putting to you? Does this message offend you?

If so, ask yourself: Why?

Why does God’s Word—and a message consistent with His Word—bother you?

And don’t misunderstand me: you cannot manufacture spiritual fruit through human strength.

Jesus said:

“Apart from me you can do nothing.”

John 15:5

Fruit comes from abiding in Christ.

But abiding in Christ is not passive indifference.

We choose to remain close to Him.

We choose obedience.

We choose repentance.

We choose prayer.

We choose service.

We choose faithfulness.

We choose to say yes when Christ calls.

In the Parable of the Talents, one servant received one talent and buried it. He did not steal it. He did not destroy it. He simply did nothing with it.

When the master returned, the servant had an excuse. But the master condemned him.

Why?

Because what had been entrusted to him was intended to be used.

There is a warning here for Christians who have been given time, abilities, opportunities, spiritual gifts, knowledge, and resources but deliberately refuse to use them for God’s purposes.

God did not give you your life merely to consume it.

He gave you a life that can be offered back to Him.

Jesus also told of a fig tree that was not producing fruit. The owner came looking for fruit and found none. The tree was occupying valuable ground, but it was not fulfilling the purpose for which it existed.

That should make us think.

What is your Christian life producing?

Are people encouraged because you know Christ?

Are people helped because you serve?

Are people forgiven because you have learned to forgive?

Are people hearing the Gospel because you are willing to speak?

Are people seeing Christ in your conduct?

Are you becoming more patient?

More loving?

More humble?

More truthful?

More generous?

More courageous?

More obedient?

Has God given you talents or resources such as public influence, good oratory, conversational skills, a good computer, social media, or other online tools?

Use them for Christ.

Do you enjoy Christian podcasts, Christian articles, or Christian music?

Share them online with others.

Do you know someone who is in need or grieving?

Be present to them.

Let them know you are praying for them.

Pray for them!

Make a prayer list and pray daily.

Pray for this fallen world.

Reassure others of the coming of Christ.

Use whatever God has entrusted to you to advance His Kingdom and proclaim His Gospel.

What fruit is your life producing?

You Don’t Have to Be Famous to Be Fruitful

You don’t have to be famous to be fruitful.

You don’t have to preach to thousands.

You don’t have to write books.

You don’t have to stand behind a pulpit.

A mother raising her children in the faith can be fruitful.

A man encouraging a discouraged neighbor can be fruitful.

A Christian visiting the lonely can be fruitful.

Someone praying faithfully for another person can be fruitful.

A believer forgiving an enemy can be fruitful.

A Christian refusing to participate in gossip can be fruitful.

Someone quietly giving to help another person can be fruitful.

Fruitfulness isn’t necessarily spectacular.

Sometimes the greatest Christian fruit is produced quietly, where only God sees it.

Jesus said:

“Your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.”

Matthew 6:4

Your life will not be perfect.

You will fail.

You will sin.

You will sometimes become discouraged.

You will occasionally make terrible decisions.

But don’t confuse failure with fruitlessness.

A fruitful Christian is not a perfect Christian. A fruitful Christian is an obedient Christian who keeps turning toward Christ.

When he falls, he gets back up.

When he sins, he repents.

When he fails, he seeks God’s grace.

When he becomes discouraged, he keeps walking.

When God opens a door, he walks through it.

When Christ calls, he responds.

That is deliberate Christianity.

So don’t merely sit back and hope that your faith is genuine.

Pursue Christ.

Don’t use salvation by faith as an excuse for spiritual laziness.

Bear fruit.

Don’t try to earn God’s love through good works.

Serve because you have already received His grace.

Don’t live as though your life is something that merely happens to you.

By the grace of God, choose to make it count.

Jesus said:

“By their fruit you will recognize them.”

And He also said:

“I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last.”

The Christian life is not about earning salvation.

It is about living out the salvation you have received.

So get up.

Pray. Believe. Repent. Obey. Serve. Love. Forgive. Speak. Give. Go.

Create content.

Share content.

Practice charity.

Use your talents in any way you can to share the Kingdom of Christ and reach pagans, non-believers, and those who do not yet know Jesus Christ.

Bear fruit.

You have been given one life.

Don’t merely wait to see what happens to it.

With Christ, deliberately choose what you will do with it.

And may your life bear fruit—not for your own glory, but for the glory of the One who saved you.

In Jesus’ name, I pray.

AMEN. AMEN. AMEN!
