DevotionalLike trees need different conditions throughout the year to grow strong and produce fruit, our spiritual lives go through various seasons.

Similarly, when we neglect our spiritual nourishment, we become vulnerable to temptation and spiritual weakness. God's Word isn't meant to be a last resort when we're in trouble - it's meant to be our daily bread, sustaining us through every season of life. By making Scripture our primary s

DevotionalIn our fast-paced world, we often rush through our spiritual practices, treating Bible reading as just another task to check off our daily list. But God calls us to something deeper - a transformative engagement with His Word through biblical meditation.

by: Lionel Peters

0

DevotionalWaiting isn't passive - it's an active spiritual discipline that shapes our character and deepens our faith. In our instant-gratification world, waiting can feel like punishment, but God often uses these seasons to prepare us for what's ahead. Every moment of waiting is an opportunity to grow stronger in faith and trust. Instead of viewing waiting as a delay, see it as a divine preparation period where God is working behind the scenes to align everything perfectl

Surrendering Your Vision to God

by: Lionel Peters

03/04/2025

0

DevotionalHaving a vision is one thing, but surrendering it completely to God is another. Sometimes we hold our dreams so tightly that we forget who gave them to us in the first place. True surrender means letting go of our timeline, our methods, and our control. When we fully surrender our visions to God, we create space for Him to work in ways we never imagined. This surrender isn't a sign of weakness - it's an acknowledgment that God's ways are higher than ours. Today,

0

DevotionalHave you ever had a dream that felt God-given, but it seemed to slip away like morning mist? Many of us experience divine inspiration, but without capturing these moments, they can fade from memory. When God speaks to us, writing it down isn't just about remembering - it's an act of faith and obedience. Throughout history, God has instructed His people to document His words and visions. This practice helps us remember His promises and demonstrates our trust in Hi

0

DevotionalGrowth often involves discomfort, and spiritual fullness sometimes requires going through seasons of emptying. Like a house being renovated, the process of transformation isn't always pleasant, but the end result is worth it. God's work in our lives isn't random - it's purposeful, even when it's uncomfortable. He knows exactly what needs to be removed and what needs to be added to bring us to complete fulfillment. Our role is to trust His process, knowing that He

DevotionalLove isn't just an emotion - it's a place of residence. When Jesus invites us to remain in His love, He's offering us a permanent address for our souls. In this dwelling place, we find constant renewal, endless joy, and unshakeable peace. No matter what storms rage around us, remaining in His love keeps us anchored and full.

Seeking First

by: Lionel Peters

02/26/2025

0

DevotionalIn our fast-paced world, we often try to fit God into our schedule instead of building our schedule around Him. Yet, true fulfillment comes when we prioritize our relationship with Him above everything else. When we seek God first, He doesn't just add to our lives - He multiplies our joy, peace, and purpose. This isn't about religious duty; it's about loving relationship. Like any meaningful relationship, it requires intentional time and attention. When we make s

The Divine Exchange

DevotionalImagine walking into a store where everything is free, but only if you're willing to let go of what you're currently holding. Sometimes, we clutch so tightly to our ways of finding fulfillment that we miss out on God's better offer. He invites us to trade our temporary satisfactions for eternal joy, our anxiety for His peace, and our self-sufficiency for His strength. This exchange isn't about losing - it's about gaining something far more valuable. When we relea

This emptiness isn't a sign of failure; it's actually a divine invitation. Like a loving parent who knows their child needs nourishment, God allows us to feel this spiritual hunger to draw us closer to Him. Our souls were designed to crave more than what this world offers. Just as a deer desperately see
