Christianity Etc › Healing For Someone You Love by Btruth(op): 12:45am On Mar 01
Healing for someone you love

Sunday 1st March 2026

“Pray…for one another, that you may be healed and restored.” James 5:16 AMPC

Because of the connection we have with those we love, when they hurt, we hurt. One of the greatest things we can do is intercede in prayer for those who need healing. God can use us as an agent of healing: “Pray [also] for one another, that you may be healed and restored [to a spiritual tone of mind and heart]. The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available [dynamic in its working]” (AMPC).

We see this principle throughout the Bible. A Roman centurion went to Jesus for the healing of his servant, and Christ did not disappoint him (see Matthew 8:5-7). Four people tore the roof off a house to get their sick friend into the presence of Jesus so he could be healed of palsy. And Jesus said to him, “Arise, take up your bed and walk” (see Mark 2:1-11). A concerned father went to Jesus when his daughter was at the point of death. Because Jesus was delayed, the little girl died anyway. Jesus walked to her bedside and said: “‘Little girl, I say to you, arise.’ Immediately the girl arose and walked…And they were overcome with great amazement” (Mark 5:41-42 NKJV). One of the last promises Jesus gave us before leaving this earth was: “These signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will…lay hands on the sick, and they will recover” (Mark 16:17-18 NKJV). Confession: “As a believer in Christ, I have the authority to pray, to lay hands on the sick, and see them recover because the Spirit of God lives in me.”

Happy New Month..... March will be bountiful of blessings to you in Jesus name 🙏

Christianity Etc › Be The Master Of Your Debt by Btruth(op): 8:44am On Feb 28
Be the master of your debt

Sat, 28 Feb 2026

“The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is slave to the lender.” Proverbs 22:7

Good credit establishes your future buying power. But when you misuse debt, you experience anxiety each month as you pull the envelope from the mailbox with the credit card bill that says you’ve spent more than you can afford. And what about the unexpected challenges of life? Your car needs a new transmission, or you need a medical procedure not covered by your insurance. The things you buy don’t just cost you money; there are other less tangible costs such as your peace of mind and your sense of security.

You forfeit these things when you continue to live beyond your means and throw good money after bad debt by taking out “interest-only” loans, no-deposit financing, and other seemingly “easy” financing options. Like a juggler, you keep the plates in the air by making minimum payments each month. But eventually, you get tired of the stress and the plates begin to fall. You borrow money to stay afloat and then spend sleepless nights wondering how you’ll be able to keep up with the payments. Your embarrassment only compounds the situation as you hide your financial problems and put on a good face, cutting yourself off from the help you desperately need. If you’re in debt, what’s the solution? (1) Identify the emotions that led you to purchase items you couldn’t afford in order to fill some unnamed hole within you. (2) Live on a budget. “There is desirable treasure…in the dwelling of the wise, but a foolish man squanders it” (Proverbs 21:20 NKJV). (3) Develop a plan for getting out of debt and staying out of it!

You've said it all. Stay away from drugs . Nothing good comes out of it.
nonny1212:
No matter the advise you give an addict he will never change until he comes to a POINT.

That point is where he realizes he is getting finished mentally and physically, then he will advise himself by himself.

Somehow, he will know ppl are avoiding him, good opportunities are avoiding him. Then he will decide to stop. Until he decides to stop, no amount of advise or family meeting can help.


Now the next step is to cut off all the source and dealers. It is difficult but he should try.

After that, the next immediate thing for him to do is to change his location or get a rehab if he can afford. A place where he cannot have access to those toxic substances.

The good news is the body heals. It will take months but within those months he should take good food, fruits and make water his best friend, water is the best for detox.

In 4 - 6months of abstinence, changes will show, dead brain cells will revive, organs will start reviving, his body will come out fresher.

Drug addiction is real. But the addict must come to himself to get help.

Christianity Etc › Trust In The Lord Rather Than People by Btruth(op): 5:51am On Feb 27
Trust in the Lord rather than people

Fri, 27 Feb 2026

“Whoever trusts in the Lord shall be safe.” Proverbs 29:25

Sometimes we make the mistake of placing our trust in people when we should be placing our trust in the Lord. And since God cannot fail and people can, we end up getting hurt and disappointed. The Bible says that King Asa of Judah had a perfect heart toward God. Yet when an enemy nation came against him, he panicked and purchased a military alliance with another king. And he did it with funds he took from the house of God.

Upon hearing the news of Asa’s coalition, his enemy retreated. Asa had figured out the solution. His plan had worked—or so it seemed. Then God sent the prophet Hanani to rebuke King Asa. Why? “Because you have relied on the king of Syria, and have not relied on the Lord your God” (2 Chronicles 16:7 NKJV). This is often the plight of those who are highly logical and intelligent. Their confidence is in their own ability to figure out a solution to their dilemmas. Hanani continued to rebuke Asa: “For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him. In this you have done foolishly; therefore from now on you shall have wars” (2 Chronicles 16:9 NKJV). Later in life, when Asa faced a life-threatening disease, “he did not seek help from the Lord, but only from the physicians” (2 Chronicles 16:12 NIV). They could not help him, so he died. So the word for you today is—never give people the trust that should be placed in the Lord alone.

Christianity Etc › Sacrificial Living by Btruth(op): 7:19am On Feb 26
Sacrificial living

Thu, 26 Feb 2026

“Present your bodies a living sacrifice…to God.” Romans 12:1

With the national coffers depleted from a series of costly wars, King Frederick William III of Prussia found his nation seriously short of funds as it attempted to rebuild. He refused to capitulate to his enemies and couldn’t face disappointing his people. He asked the women of Prussia to bring their gold and silver jewellery to be melted down and used in exchange for the things the nation desperately needed.

As each woman brought her jewellery, she was given a “decoration” of iron as a symbol of the king’s gratitude. On it was inscribed the words: “I gave gold for iron, 1813.” The women came to prize their gifts from the king more than their former jewels! Their decorations were proof they had sacrificed for their king. In fact, it became highly unfashionable in early nineteenth-century Prussia for women to wear jewellery but very fashionable to wear a cross of iron. It was from this that the Order of the Iron Cross was established. There are two sides to the Christian life: blessing and sacrifice. Paul said: “Everything else is worthless when compared with the infinite value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord” (Philippians 3:8 NLT). Jesus spelled out the cost of discipleship: “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me” (Matthew 16:24 NKJV). The hymnist wrote: “‘Take up thy cross and follow me,’ I hear my blessed Saviour call. How can I make a lesser sacrifice when Jesus gave His all?”

Be content

“May I never forget the good things he does for me.” Psalm 103:2

A newspaper cartoon was drawn of two fields divided by a wire fence. Both were the same size, each with plenty of lush, green grass. Each field had a mule whose head stuck through the wire fence, eating grass from the other’s pasture. Although each mule was surrounded by grass, the neighbouring field seemed more desirable—even though it was harder to reach. In the process the mules’ heads became caught in the fence, and they panicked and brayed uncontrollably at being unable to free themselves.

The cartoonist described the situation with one caption: “DISCONTENT.” There is a lesson here for each of us. When we focus on what we don’t have, or what someone else has, we become blinded to the blessings which surround us. David wrote: “Let all that I am praise the Lord; may I never forget the good things he does for me. He forgives all my sins and heals all my diseases. He redeems me from death and crowns me with love and tender mercies. He fills my life with good things” (vv. 2-5 NLT). Goal setting, achieving greater things, and desiring more than you have can be good things if: (1) You look to the Lord to help you bring it to pass: “The Lord will withhold no good thing from those who do what is right” (Psalm 84:11 NLT), and (2) While God is working on it, you enjoy what He has already given you: “Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, ‘I will never leave you nor forsake you’” (Hebrews 13:5 NKJV). So, be content.

Christianity Etc › How To Pray For Your Children by Btruth(op): 6:16am On Feb 24
How to pray for your children

Tue, 24 Feb 2026

“Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord...Jesus Christ.” 2 Peter 3:18

The Bible says, “In the last days will come…times of great stress and trouble [hard to deal with and hard to bear]” (2 Timothy 3:1 AMPC). We don’t have to look far to see that Scripture fulfilled. It’s why we need to pray for the physical and spiritual safety of our children; that they may “grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord…Jesus Christ.”

Heather Riggleman writes: “As you and I watch the news, we weep, we cry out in anger, and then we wonder, ‘How we can protect our kids…?’ We wonder if it’s safe to send [them] out the front door. We question whether the world is falling apart. And nothing is more terrifying than the realisation that we cannot protect them from life. While we cannot hide our children away from the world, we can…shield them in far greater ways than wrapping them in a plastic bubble or locking them in their rooms for the rest of their lives…We can intercede for [them], praying for wisdom, protection, peace, and strength.” Remember, wherever we are gathered and praying, Jesus is in our midst (See Matthew 18:19-20). Paul said, “Put on every piece of God’s armour so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil…Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers” (Ephesians 6:13, 18 NLT). When you pray like that, God is bound to honour His Word. Keep covering your kids in prayer—and don’t give up no matter how bad things in the world get.
Christianity Etc › Try For Reconciliation by Btruth(op): 12:28am On Feb 23
Try for reconciliation

Mon, 23 Feb 2026

“First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.” Matthew 5:24

Here’s something we don’t think about enough—but should! How you treat those you are in relationship with influences the relationship you have with God. Jesus spelled it out clearly: “If you bring your gift to the altar [if you serve in the church, pay particular attention here!], and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift” (vv. 23-24 NKJV).

Jesus commands the offender, even if the offense was unintentional, to take the initiative in healing and restoring the relationship. That calls for true humility. Max Lucado writes: “You may find this hard to believe, but not everyone likes the preacher. There are times when I misstep or misspeak and incur the displeasure of a parishioner. In the early years of my ministry, when I got wind of someone’s unhappiness, I dismissed the problem. ‘If he doesn’t bring it to me, then I have no hand in the matter.’ But then I read Jesus’ words…Jesus commands the offender to take the initiative. I find that passage to be quite unpleasant. Even so, I have tried to apply it to my fragile friendships. ‘Bob,’ I have enquired, ‘have I said something to upset you?’ ‘Mary, there seems to be tension between us. Are we okay?’ Without fail, the step has resulted in restoration. Never in my four decades of ministry has this practical teaching failed to achieve its goal. When Scripture is mixed with obedience, a healing elixir results.” So the word for you today is—try for reconciliation.

Do it all for the glory of God (2)

Sun, 22 Feb 2026

“You have an anointing…and you know all things.” 1 John 2:20

Here are two more things you need to know about your calling.

(1) The anointing is for each one of us. In Bible times, anointing oil was poured only on the heads of prophets, priests, and kings, symbolising God’s presence rested on them in a special way. But the anointing is not confined to those in ministry; it’s for everyone–including you! It doesn’t matter whether you’re a teacher, a doctor, or a lawyer. From the top of the organisational chart to the bottom, God wants to anoint you to do whatever it is you’re called to do. If you need legal help, you certainly want an attorney who has been to law school, but you also want an attorney who is anointed by God. If you need surgery, you certainly want a doctor who has been to med school, but you also want a doctor whose hands are anointed by God. The anointing of God knows no limits when it comes to position or portfolio. The apostle John writes: “You have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things.” (2) We must seek to please God in all that we do. “Whatever you do, do all to the glory of God” (1 Corinthians 10:31 NKJV). The key word is whatever. It doesn’t matter what you’re doing; do it to the glory of God. Oswald Chambers said, “It is inbred in us that we have to do exceptional things for God, but we do not. We have to be exceptional in ordinary things.” And when we are, we put a smile on God’s face.
