BE ZEALOUS TO DO WHAT IS GOOD BEFORE THE LORD.

____________________________________

There is this one thing I know that can help us live a blessed life; "Doing What is Good in the Eyes of the Lord " ; Proverbs 16:7(ESV) says "When a man’s ways please the Lord, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him".

Wow! Child of God; the Bible has not said that when a man fights,contends hard with his enemies; But when man's way pleases God,....

Stop wasting time with your opponent(s) (enemies) but spend your time by doing what is good before the Lord; not just doing it but do it zealously. Amen!

The Bible says in 1 Peter 3:13 ESV ,"Now who is there to harm you if you are zealous for what is good?"

What does this mean? -It means,there is no one/nothing that can harm you if you are very busy doing what's good before the Lord.

-No one can curse you if you zealous for what is good.

-You will be above all the reproaches if you focus on doing what is good in the eyes of the Lord.

Hallelujah!

Prayer

Dear Loving Father, thank you for your powerful word,

we ask you the grace to do what pleases you so that you may fight,vindicate and put us at peace with our enemies, in Jesus ' name 🙏

AMEN!

WHEN BITTERNESS CLOUDS YOUR HOPE: FROM MARA TO JOY

WHEN BITTERNESS CLOUDS YOUR HOPE “Do not call me Naomi,” she replied. “Call me Mara,because the Almighty; has dealt quite bitterly with me. -Ruth 1:20(BSB) (20b Naomi means pleasant . 20 c Mara means bitter.) Naomi lost everything—her husband, her sons, her sense of purpose. She renamed herself Mara, meaning bitter, because that’s how deep the sorrow ran. And yet, even in her brokenness, she didn’t walk alone. God was already preparing redemption, even when she couldn’t see it. Beloved, grief may change your story, but it doesn’t cancel God’s promises. Even in the bitterness, He is moving. Your heart won’t stay Mara forever—joy is on the way! Stay hopeful! PRAYER POINT: Abba Father, You see the places in me that have gone bitter. Thank You that You don’t leave me there. Restore hope where sorrow has settled. AMEN.

HEALING FLOWS THROUGH HUMILITY

HEALING IN HUMILITY AND OBEDIENCE And his servants came near, and spake unto him, and said, My father, if the prophet had bid thee do some great thing, wouldest thou not have done it? 2 Kings 5:13 (KJV) Naaman wanted a grand miracle, not a dip in a dirty river. Sometimes pride hides in our expectations of how God should move. Healing didn’t come through status or power, but through humility. The greatest breakthroughs often begin with surrender. Beloved, don’t let pride keep you from the healing God is offering. Even if the way feels small or strange, trust Him. The answer you need may come through unexpected obedience. PRAYER POINT: Lord, teach me to obey even when I don’t understand. Break down my pride so I can receive all that You have for me. Let humility lead me into Your healing in Jesus’ name. AMEN.

When Doubt Feels Safer Than Hope – Finding Faith Again in Christ

WHEN DOUBT FEELS SAFER THAN HOPE The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe. John 20:25 (KJV) Doubt doesn’t always come from rebellion—it often comes from pain. Thomas had believed and hoped once. But after seeing Jesus crucified, he decided the safest thing to do was to stop hoping altogether. Sometimes, when the heart has been wounded, it feels easier not to believe at all unless you see! Does this resonate with you? Beloved, Jesus is not offended by your doubts. He meets you right where you are, gently offering proof of His love. Your doubt isn’t the end of the story—it might just be the place where faith can begin again. Seek Him and hear His voice. PRAYER POINT: Lord Jesus, I bring You the parts of me that struggle with my faith. Meet me with mercy as You did wit...
