John 15:14, NIV
You are my friends if you do what I command. John 15:14, NIV Jesus treats those who obey Him as friends. It means that they can gain access and connections that mere servants can’t receive. They can’t experience great things that a simple follower can’t experience. Having a friend like Jesus is always amazing. Imagine, the Creator and Savior of this world shared some revelations that others can’t receive. And that will only happen if you will obey. It’s challenging, especially when He asks you to do things that don’t make sense at first. But if you only follow His commands, you will realize at the end that God wants…

When God shows you just a Small Piece of the Whole Puzzle

God’s plans are too great that we can’t simply comprehend them in one setting. That’s why He needs to take us to the process so that we can fully embrace the purpose that He planted in our hearts. If you are still trying to figure out the things that you want to do for Him, then keep this in mind – obey Him even if He only showed you just a small piece of the…

He replied, “My mother and brothers are those who hear God’s word and put it into practice.” Luke 8: 21, NIV Jesus treats those who obey the word of God as His closest companion.

Ask the Holy Spirit to give you the strength to keep following Him even in seasons when you can’t understand what’s…

Day 414 – Luke 6:46
“Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say? Luke 6:46, NIV Sometimes, we only know God’s name, but we never really know what it means to follow Him. Calling Him “Lord” means that we acknowledge His sovereignty in our lives. His authority will give us the motivation to do what is right. If we truly honor His name, it means that we choose to obey His words and follow Him even in the midst of struggles and pain. If we make Him the ruler of our lives, we also put His will above our plans and desires. Let’s not take our faith lightly. Walking…

Day 232 – James 1:22
Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. James 1:22, niv It takes an obedient heart to experience more of God’s love. Change won’t happen if you just listen and read the word of God. You need to put His instructions into action. Yes, it’s not easy, and sometimes, you need to step outside your comfort zone, but the more you try new things, the more you will grow in His presence.
