The Lies that you Believe in will Hinder you from experiencing God’s Peace
You will carry overwhelming guilt the moment you choose to live a life that’s full of lies. You won’t be able to appreciate the things that God is doing because you listen to the voice of the enemy. Maybe you unknowingly committed so many mistakes because all this time, you can’t face the truths in your life. It may appear so heartbreaking, but please don’t live in the darkness.

Change won’t happen if you keep on Dwelling in the past

It may not be that easy, but it’s the only way for…

John 7:5
For even his own brothers did not believe in him. John 7:5, NIV Jesus’ brothers didn’t believe in Him. He worked so many miracles. He was followed by so many people. He healed the sick and performed signs and wonders. Thousands of followers long to listen to Him, but then His family here on earth didn’t trust Him enough. You see, even Jesus experienced persecutions from His own brothers. Many times, the people who are closest to us tend to doubt the things that God is doing in our lives. When that happens, just remember that Jesus also went through the same pain. Yet He didn’t stop. He kept on…

Following your pride means you treat yourself as better than God
It takes a humble heart for humans to accept that they are nothing without God. Sometimes, we tend to follow our own ways, thinking that what we have in mind is right, but the truth is, God knows what’s best for us. So we need to stop relying on our own understanding. Instead, we must come to Him and ask for guidance. But sadly, people fail to consult Him because of pride. They think that they are wise and smart enough to face the circumstances in their life. If you happen to see yourself as someone who merely depends on your own wisdom, then this is a wake-up call for…

The Voices of the crowd Don’t always Represent the Voice of God
But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowd to ask for Barabbas and to have Jesus executed. “Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” asked the governor. “Barabbas,” they answered. “What shall I do, then, with Jesus, who is called the Messiah?” Pilate asked. They all answered, “Crucify him!” “Why? What crime has he committed?” asked Pilate. But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify him!” When Pilate saw that he was getting nowhere, but that instead, an uproar was starting, he took water and washed his hands in front of the crowd. “I am innocent of this man’s blood,” he said. “It is…

What other People think of you is no Longer your Problem
The opinion of others can never define you if you don’t allow them. Focus on God and listen to His voice. He alone knows who you truly are. Remember that you can never control what other people are thinking. Their words can never harm you as long as you choose to believe in your identity in the Lord. You are His child, His precious treasure. You are not trash. You are redeemed for a price that you can never pay. That’s how valuable and important you are. Keep that in mind. No one else could ever destroy you. Lift them up to God and let Him lead you to the…

A Heart that cries for Validation seeks to Please other People
People who are longing for love will sometimes be tempted to look for it in the wrong person. And because they badly wanted to receive affirmation, they chose to please others just for them to feel validated. But the sad truth is, people can make you feel loved and accepted but not every moment. We are all imperfect, and each of us is carrying thorns that will somehow hurt somebody else. You can never please everyone. You will end up broken and frustrated if you just keep focusing on what other people want you to do. Focus on God, and choose to do the things that please His name. In…
