Do it all for the glory of God (1) Sat, 21 Feb 2026 “Whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” 1 Corinthians 10:31 When it comes to your calling, observe these two things: (1) God doesn’t call the qualified; He qualifies the called. God will call you to do something you’re not smart enough to pull off. A God-ordained dream will always be beyond your ability and resources. Why? So, you have to rely on God every single day! David said: “Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labour in vain” (Psalm 127:1 NIV). Jesus said: “If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing” (John 15:5 NIV). Paul said, “Not that we are competent in ourselves to claim anything for ourselves, but our competence comes from God” (2 Corinthians 3:5 NIV). (2) Instead of being critical, be creative. Often criticism is just a cop out for those who are too lazy to solve the problem they are complaining about. Instead of criticising movies or music, produce a film or an album that is better than whatever it is you’re complaining about. The most constructive criticism is called creativity. We should be more known for what we’re for than what we’re against. Anybody can point out problems. We’re called to solve them by writing better books, starting better schools, and drafting better legislation. And we are anointed to do it! “But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things…and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him” (1 John 2:27 NKJV). |

Free from the shame of the past Fri, 20 Feb 2026 “Today I have rolled away the shame of your slavery.” Joshua 5:9 God got Israel out of Egypt in one day, but it took forty years to get the shame of Egypt out of Israel. It happened at a place called Gilgal, 381 miles northeast of Egypt. The Israelites thought like slaves and acted like slaves. After all, it’s tough to break the cycle after four hundred years of slavery. Technically, the Israelites were set free at the exodus. But it wasn’t until they reached Gilgal that they finally left the past in the past. “Then the Lord said to Joshua, ‘Today I have rolled away the shame of your slavery in Egypt.’” For some of us, it takes years to bring closure to our feelings of condemnation and get the past out of the present. The good news is, God can still roll away the shame of your past. “There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus” (Romans 8:1 NKJV). Note the word “now.” Full forgiveness is our present-tense reality. Right here. Right now. If you are in Christ, you’re no longer defined by what you’ve done wrong; you’re defined by what Christ has done right on your behalf. You are a new creation, but sometimes it takes time for your new nature to become second nature. Jesus came to put the past in its place—in the past. You need to leave it there. How do you do that? By seeing yourself as God sees you—righteous (see 2 Corinthians 5:21). Instead of seeing yourself as clothed in shame, begin to see yourself as God sees you: clothed in the righteousness of Christ. |
2027 loading already. More to come |
When will the northerners face this terrorists headlong without waiting for the government to come to their aids? 🤷 Enough is enough...everyone dies. Better to come together with a local army and flush this silly cancer eating them off everyday than waiting for useless politicians that are using that as a prawns in a chess game? |
This life. Just be prepare..... 🤔 |
If it's me too. I will do the same. |
Recognise God’s Spirit living within you Thu, 19 Feb 2026 “Your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you.” 1 Corinthians 6:19 Set aside the question of to what extent you are capable of experiencing God’s presence in your current spiritual condition. Set aside your past failures and your future worries. If you are a redeemed child of God, His Holy Spirit lives within you. Jesus said, “‘He who believes in Me…out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.’ But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive” (John 7:38-39 NKJV). The Holy Spirit within you is flowing all the time, welling up within you, quenching your unsatisfied desires, and overflowing to refresh those around you. His intention and desire are to work through you all the time, in every place. Remember that God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit are one. So when we speak of God working in your life, Jesus being in your heart, or your body being the temple of the Holy Spirit, it’s the same thing. Author John Ortberg tells of a friend whose five-year-old daughter said, “I know Jesus lives in my heart, because when I put my hand on it, I can feel Him walking around in there.” Some people seem to have that kind of inner radar for detecting the presence of God. Just as certain musicians have perfect pitch, they have an ear for discerning God’s voice. Telling them how to look for God would be like telling a fish how to look for water—where else would they live? Bottom line—just as God’s presence lives in you, you can consciously live in God’s presence every moment. |

Share what you have Wed, 18 Feb 2026 “Do not forget to do good and to share, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.” Hebrews 13:16 Hudson Taylor, founder of the China Inland Mission, prepared for missionary service by working among the poor in London. One night, a man asked him to come and pray for his sick wife. The man had already asked a priest but had been told he would have to pay him eighteen pence, which he didn’t have. He didn’t even have money to buy a loaf of bread. Taylor went with him but was conscience stricken. He was living on a starvation diet himself, but he did have one coin in his pocket—a half crown. He thought, “If only I had two shillings and sixpence instead of this half crown, I would give these poor people a shilling.” Upon arriving at the man’s house, he was overcome at seeing the sunken cheeks of hungry children and the exhausted mother who lay with a tiny infant by her side. Taylor spoke to them, trying to bring comfort and encouragement, but inside he cried, “You hypocrite! Telling these people about a kind and loving father in heaven, yet not prepared to trust Him without a half crown.” So he gave his half-crown to the man. Taylor recalled at that moment how the joy of the Lord came back into his heart. The Bible says, “Do not forget to do good and to share, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.” What pleases the Lord? Your willingness to share with those in need what God has graciously given you. The saying is true: “You can give without loving, but you cannot love without giving.” |

Resist envy Tue, 17 Feb 2026 “A heart at peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the bones.” Proverbs 14:30 Some folks are too insecure to applaud the success or achievements of another, be it a coworker, relative, sibling, spouse, or even a child. They feel that they must have comparable success, so they won’t feel inferior. If they can indeed claim a similar personal achievement, then they are quick to mention it. The truth is that someone will always have more success than you do, and someone will always have less. It takes daily, conscientious effort to fight discontentment and to enjoy whatever level of success God has blessed you with. Television commercials and highway billboards and even well-meaning family and friends send the message: “You’re lacking something. Buy this, buy that!” Solomon said, “Better a little with the fear of the Lord than great wealth with turmoil” (Proverbs 15:16 NIV). Hebrews 13:5 says, “Be content with what you have, because God has said, ‘Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you’” (NIV). If you find yourself feeling the need to compete when a compliment is given to another, immediately recognise and renounce the spirit of insecurity that’s trying to ensnare you. Begin to reject this kind of behaviour by responding in the opposite manner. Practice being secure enough to enjoy someone else’s achievements. You will have to “practice” this, because there’s a good chance that you will not “feel” secure initially. Just do it. Allow your faith to dictate your behaviour. When you obey the Spirit and allow Him to determine your actions, the flesh grows weaker and must ultimately submit to the control of the Spirit. |

Healing when you’ve been hurt Mon, 16 Feb 2026 “He heals the broken-hearted and binds up their wounds.” Psalm 147:3 There are times when we all experience rejection, betrayal, and disappointment. But if we hold on to those experiences, we can remain in a state of perpetual hurt. Indeed, when we refuse to forgive and move on, we place a weapon into Satan’s hands that he will use against us at every opportunity. It’s not what has happened to us, but how we respond that matters. If we allow the hurt to gain control of our thoughts, it can undermine our emotional wellbeing. Jesus doesn’t want us to go through life carrying old wounds; He wants to heal us. This is why He gave us the precious promises in His Word. Regardless of how badly we’ve been hurt, God always has our complete restoration in mind. “‘For I will restore health to you and heal you of your wounds,’ says the Lord” (Jeremiah 30:17 NKJV). If you have spent years wrestling with unresolved hurt, God has provided a way out. “He heals the broken-hearted and binds up their wounds.” When He was on earth, Jesus was constantly healing people’s pain and comforting them in their sorrow. And when He left earth, He didn’t leave us high and dry. He sent the eternal source of comfort to live inside of each of us—the Holy Spirit, who is our comforter, helper, and friend (see John 14:16). The hurts you’ve experienced are real, but God doesn’t want them to be your greatest reality. His Spirit is always with you and will never leave you (see Hebrews 13:5). And you can draw from His strength through every painful circumstance and find healing when you’ve been hurt. |
Pray for a divine visitation Sun, 15 Feb 2026 “Oh, that You would rend the heavens [and] come down!” Isaiah 64:1 Jesus told the disciples just before He left this earth to return to heaven: “I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high” (Luke 24:49 KJV). As a redeemed child of God the Holy Spirit lives in you (see Ro 8:9). But this promise indicates that you can also have the Holy Spirit resting upon you and empowering you. How did the disciples respond to this promise? “All these with one accord were devoting themselves to prayer” (Acts 1:14 ESV). Author Larry Sparks says, “For too long, the Western church has tolerated a prayer culture defined by lack of results.” Then he gives us this strategy for a divine visitation: “Review God’s promises for a Holy Spirit outpouring. Become possessed by them. And ‘tarry’ in devoted, sustained, persevering prayer until revival promises become revival realities. That’s exactly what the disciples did.” We make the mistake of assuming that outpourings of the Holy Spirit are sovereignly fixed dates in heaven’s calendar. One of the great promises God made to us is this: “In the last days it shall be, God declares, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh” (Acts 2:17 ESV). As long as “all flesh” has not experienced this outpouring of God’s Spirit, we must continue to pray, “Oh, that You would rend the heavens [and] come down!” You say, “What can I do?” Do what the disciples did: “All these with one accord were devoting themselves to prayer.” Begin to pray each day for a divine visitation of God’s Spirit. |
