"Put God first and do what He wants. Then everything else will fall into place. Matthew 6:33 NIV  We all know how crazy life can get, right? 🌪️ But guess what? We've got the ultimate key to living our best lives! 🔑💯 Check this out, when we make God our top priority, everything else just falls into place. 🙏✨ Remember what Jesus said? He told us to seek God's kingdom and everything else will fall in place. 📖🙌 When we do that, we get closer to Him and find true happiness. 😇💖 So, let's shift our mindset and put God before all the material stuff. 🙅‍♂️💰 'Cause let's be real, the things we own won't last forever, but our relationship with God is eternal. 🌟💖 Let's invest in our spiritual lives, y'all! 🌟✨ Ask God for guidance, chill with others fellow believers, and make worship a major part of our lives. When we put God first, that need for material things loses its grip on us. We find peace, contentment, and blessings that go beyond anything t...

"We love Him because He first loved us. 20 If someone says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?1 John 4:19-20 When I was young boy  I used to feel some type of way about my sister. We argued about everything  from sharing toys to watching TV. It seemed like we couldn't stand each other. Our relationship has gotten better since then, but it wasn't until attending church one Sunday and the preacher preach a verse that changed everything. It said that if we claim to love God but hate our brother or sister, we're lying. It hit me hard because I realized that if I can't love my sister who I see every day, how can I say I love God who I can't see? So, I decided to make a change. Instead of fighting, I started to show love to my sister, even when she get on nerves. Slowly but surely, things began to change between us. We started to understand each ...

"As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts."  Isaiah 55:9 (NIV) How often have we found ourselves striving to make things happen according to our own plans, only to end up feeling frustrated and disappointed? How many times have we relied on our own understanding, thinking we know what's best for our lives, only to realize that our vision is limited and our plans are flawed? As Christians, we are called to surrender our will to God's perfect plan for our lives. We may think we know what's best, but the truth is, we cannot fully comprehend the greatness of God's purposes for us until we allow Him to lead and direct us on the path He has set before us. Isaiah 55:9 reminds us of the vast difference between God's way and our way. While we can only see so far and our predictions of the future are often uncertain, God sees the end from the beginning. His plans for us are not...

"The Lord has done this, and it is marvelous in our eyes." Psalm 118:23 (NIV) In our busy lives, it's easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle, focusing on our problems and challenges. We rush from one task to the next, often overlooking the many blessings and miracles that God has worked in our lives. Psalm 118:23 reminds us to pause and recognize that "The Lord has done this, and it is marvelous in our eyes." How often do we appreciate and truly thank God for His goodness? For the healing, deliverance, protection, provision, and countless other blessings He has bestowed upon us? When we focus solely on our problems, we miss out on the opportunity to acknowledge and celebrate the wonderful things God has done for us. Imagine a child who receives a beautifully wrapped gift from their parent. The gift is something the child had wanted for a long time. However, instead of unwrapping the gift and enjoying it, the child sets it aside and immediately starts wor...

God is your refuge and strength, an ever-present help in times of trouble (Psalm 46:1). NIV Have you ever felt tired, exhausted, or drained in your faith walk like I have? Let's keep it real. There are times when we all get tired of praying, helping others, preaching, or reading the Bible. In those moments, it's crucial to recognize that these feelings may be spiritual attacks meant to discourage us. The devil seeks to steal, kill, and destroy. But remember this! When you feel overwhelmed, turn to the source of your strength. Psalm 121:1-2 reminds us, "I lift up my eyes to the mountains, where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth." So let's stay strong, stay faithful, and allow God's power to renew our strength. Trust in Him because He is faithful to sustain us and uplift us in every season of our lives. God bless 🙏  by Pastor Samuel "Shawn" Lantion

  Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and he will come near to you.  James 4:7 This year has been challenging for many of us, as social injustices, political unrest, and economic issues have affected our commitment to God. When we think about the word commitment, we think of having a made up mind, despite the circumstances. The enemy’s desire is to distract us from total commitment to God by making our problems look bigger than they are.  Therefore, we make excuses as to why we can’t commit to him resulting in us slowly drifting away from His presence, not spending time with him through praying and studying his word.  James warns us to submit to God and resist the devil. Satan wants us to believe we can't afford to  study our bibles or come to church because we are too busy working to pay our bills and take care of our families. Our jobs, relationships and worldly affections have gotten us off track from...

The sinful nature takes place in the spirit of one's mind. Paul taught in Romans 12:1-2 that we should present ourselves to God as a living sacrifice and he promised that the Lord will renew our minds. It's not going to be spontaneous and happen overnight. It’s a day by day, hour by hour, minute by minute process that we go through. God will continue to renew the person he made us to be and this change in behavior will happen as our minds are renewed over time. So let’s stay focused. Never give up. And, keep our mind stayed on the Lord. And, trust that God will help us renew our minds as we continue on this Christian journey. Have a blessed day! Today Daily Devotional by Sister Takiela Harris

Paul paints a beautiful portrait of unity, declaring that there are no differences among us in Christ as we are one body, bound together by our shared faith. Imagine a mosaic made up of diverse pieces—different shapes, sizes, and colors. Individually, each piece possesses its beauty, but when brought together and carefully arranged, they form a breathtaking masterpiece. Similarly, when believers from every background and culture come together in unity, we create a vibrant tapestry that reflects the beauty of God's kingdom. AS WE LAY ASIDE OUR INDIVIDUAL AGENDAS AND COME TOGETHER in one mind and purpose, we create an environment where the presence of God is tangible. In this atmosphere of unity, chains are broken, hearts are healed, and lives are transformed. Our communities are impacted as they witness the love and unity displayed among believers, drawing them into the family of God. Have a blessed day! Today's devotional By Evangelist Priscilla Everett

"Even so, the body is not made up of one part but of many." 1 Corinthians 12:14 When we come together, great things happen! Just like a dope song has different beats and lyrics that go perfectly together. We as a group of believers also bring our unique swag and gifts together to create something awesome. God is all about that unity! He made us different on purpose, like a squad with different skills working together to serve one purpose. Spreading the word and winning souls. Let's unite and celebrate each other's differences and lift each other up. When we stand together in Christ, nothing can stop us because we thrive as one! So, let's keep spreading the word with love, respect, and positivity with the crew. Let's show the world what true unity looks like: diverse, strong, and totally lit!
