Daily Devotion

Matthew 10:33English Standard Version

³³but ^(A)whoever denies me before men, ^(B)I also will deny before my Father who is in heaven.

***

In Matthew 4 Jesus was in the wilderness and the devil presented him with so many different opportunities. Opportunities of money , fame , and fortune all if he just worshiped the enemy . Of course Jesus said no (to God be the glory ) .

But see the enemy is subtle and sometimes when people do things to us to hurt us we want to get them back . For example , what if you have a spouse who is cheating on you ? What if someone you love betrayed you and now you want revenge ?

Well the answer is STAY RIGHT WITH GOD .

~ don’t cheat back because you have been cheated on

~ don’t curse back because someone has cursed at you

~ sometimes don’t argue back because someone is trying to make you angry …

Stay Right With God !

I know your flesh may be saying one thing … but align your body to the word of God …

*many are the afflictions of the righteous …. but the Lord delivers us from them all . – Psalms 34:19

Prayer

Father even when people mistreat me… help me to stay right with you . Help me to make better decisions and not to allow the enemy to take me off course . Help me God to follow you with my whole heart . In Jesus Name, I pray … Thank God … Amen

DAILY DEVOTION

Isaiah 40:31King James Version

³¹But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

***

Social media can cause a lot of comparison in our lives . I mean it is so easy to compare our journey , destiny , and our calling with someone simply by appearance . I want to remind you that people have a tendency to post only what they want you to see . On the bright side you don’t see the blood, sweat , and tears that people put into their success. On the other side you don’t see the silent persecutions , betrayals, storms, trials , and tribulations that they go through . Today instead of comparing yourself ENCOURAGE yourself . Speak positive affirmations and scriptures over yourself and trust God totally and fully for your prayers to be answered . In Jesus Name !

HEBREWS 11 – SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY

Hebrews 11 New International Version (NIV)Faith in Action11 Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. ²This is what the ancients were commended for.³By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.⁴By faith Abel brought God a better offering than Cain did. By faith he was commended as righteous, when God spoke well of his offerings. And by faith Abel still speaks, even though he is dead.⁵By faith Enoch was taken from this life, so that he did not experience death: “He could not be found, because God had taken him away.”^[a] For before he was taken, he was commended as one who pleased God. ⁶And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.⁷By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, in holy fear built an ark to save his family. By his faith he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness that is in keeping with faith.⁸By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going. ⁹By faith he made his home in the promised land like a stranger in a foreign country; he lived in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise. ¹⁰For he was looking forward to the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God. ¹¹And by faith even Sarah, who was past childbearing age, was enabled to bear children because she^[b] considered him faithful who had made the promise. ¹²And so from this one man, and he as good as dead, came descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as countless as the sand on the seashore.¹³All these people were still living by faith when they died. They did not receive the things promised; they only saw them and welcomed them from a distance, admitting that they were foreigners and strangers on earth. ¹⁴People who say such things show that they are looking for a country of their own. ¹⁵If they had been thinking of the country they had left, they would have had opportunity to return. ¹⁶Instead, they were longing for a better country—a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them.¹⁷By faith Abraham, when God tested him, offered Isaac as a sacrifice. He who had embraced the promises was about to sacrifice his one and only son, ¹⁸even though God had said to him, “It is through Isaac that your offspring will be reckoned.”^[c] ¹⁹Abraham reasoned that God could even raise the dead, and so in a manner of speaking he did receive Isaac back from death.²⁰By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau in regard to their future.²¹By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of Joseph’s sons, and worshiped as he leaned on the top of his staff.²²By faith Joseph, when his end was near, spoke about the exodus of the Israelites from Egypt and gave instructions concerning the burial of his bones.²³By faith Moses’ parents hid him for three months after he was born, because they saw he was no ordinary child, and they were not afraid of the king’s edict.²⁴By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be known as the son of Pharaoh’s daughter. ²⁵He chose to be mistreated along with the people of God rather than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin. ²⁶He regarded disgrace for the sake of Christ as of greater value than the treasures of Egypt, because he was looking ahead to his reward. ²⁷By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the king’s anger; he persevered because he saw him who is invisible. ²⁸By faith he kept the Passover and the application of blood, so that the destroyer of the firstborn would not touch the firstborn of Israel.²⁹By faith the people passed through the Red Sea as on dry land; but when the Egyptians tried to do so, they were drowned.³⁰By faith the walls of Jericho fell, after the army had marched around them for seven days.³¹By faith the prostitute Rahab, because she welcomed the spies, was not killed with those who were disobedient.^[d]³²And what more shall I say? I do not have time to tell about Gideon, Barak, Samson and Jephthah, about David and Samuel and the prophets, ³³who through faith conquered kingdoms, administered justice, and gained what was promised; who shut the mouths of lions, ³⁴quenched the fury of the flames, and escaped the edge of the sword; whose weakness was turned to strength; and who became powerful in battle and routed foreign armies. ³⁵Women received back their dead, raised to life again. There were others who were tortured, refusing to be released so that they might gain an even better resurrection. ³⁶Some faced jeers and flogging, and even chains and imprisonment. ³⁷They were put to death by stoning;^[e] they were sawed in two; they were killed by the sword. They went about in sheepskins and goatskins, destitute, persecuted and mistreated— ³⁸the world was not worthy of them. They wandered in deserts and mountains, living in caves and in holes in the ground.³⁹These were all commended for their faith, yet none of them received what had been promised, ⁴⁰since God had planned something better for us so that only together with us would they be made perfect.Footnotes:Hebrews 11:5 Gen. 5:24Hebrews 11:11 Or By faith Abraham, even though he was too old to have children—and Sarah herself was not able to conceive—was enabled to become a father because heHebrews 11:18 Gen. 21:12Hebrews 11:31 Or unbelievingHebrews 11:37 Some early manuscripts stoning; they were put to the test;New International Version (NIV)Holy Bible, New International Version®, NIV® Copyright ©1973, 1978, 1984, 2011 by Biblica, Inc.® Used by permission.

God, Is Plan B A Sin?

Did you know that there was a woman in the Bible named Tamar… who disguised herself as a prostitute and became pregnant because she wanted a baby? Did you know that she is in the lineage of Jesus Christ? Look at this Verse below,

Matthew 1:3 The Passion Translation (TPT)

³Judah and Tamar^[a] had twin sons, Perez and Zerah. Perez had a son named Hezron, who had a son named Ram,

Matthew 1:16 The Passion Translation (TPT)

¹⁶who was the father of Joseph, the husband^[a] of Mary the mother of Jesus, who is called “the Anointed One.”

***

I am very much against abortion. But I am also against Plan B, because it is really the same thing. There is so much depression and regret that comes with taking Plan B and it leaves you hurting in brokenness.

My Testimony

When I was in sin I took it. Years later I regret it. I watch others who may have conceived a child, around the same time I would have, move forward in their life with children and I sit alone. I have a deep regret for what I have done especially as I draw closer to God, because I know it was wrong. The Bible says,

Ecclesiastes 11:4 Living Bible (TLB)

⁴If you wait for perfect conditions, you will never get anything done.^[a]

***

Who says a pregnant woman cannot come to God? I believe that if you have conceived a child out of wedlock you need to repent and go to the Father and endure the natural consequences of your sin… meanwhile trusting God through the process… Because years later if you disobey , you will regret it.

So if you are a woman that is pregnant out of wedlock, Pray. PRAY. and PRAY some more. What does The Bible say? Pray With Out Ceasing. Go get a Bible, Go join a local church, and go get into the face of God.

To Be Honest

I am tired of watching women abuse their children, chose men over their children, and keep having random boyfriends around their kids. Lets get some identity in God and let him heal you from your low self-esteem so that we do not have another generation who are moral failures.

Children are a beautiful reward from heaven (Psalms 127). Alot of women say “I don’t want to make the same mistake as my mother or father” but then they end up doing THE SAME EXACT THING. The Bible says Faith Without Works Is Dead… So what does that mean?

Pray
Seek The Face Of God
Get A Bible/ Download The App
Join A Local Church
And God will send the provision that you need

Look At This Passage Below:

1 Kings 17:8-16 The Message (MSG)

^7-9Eventually the brook dried up because of the drought. Then God spoke to him: “Get up and go to Zarephath in Sidon and live there. I’ve instructed a woman who lives there, a widow, to feed you.”

^10-11So he got up and went to Zarephath. As he came to the entrance of the village he met a woman, a widow, gathering firewood. He asked her, “Please, would you bring me a little water in a jug? I need a drink.” As she went to get it, he called out, “And while you’re at it, would you bring me something to eat?”

¹²She said, “I swear, as surely as your God lives, I don’t have so much as a biscuit. I have a handful of flour in a jar and a little oil in a bottle; you found me scratching together just enough firewood to make a last meal for my son and me. After we eat it, we’ll die.”

^13-14Elijah said to her, “Don’t worry about a thing. Go ahead and do what you’ve said. But first make a small biscuit for me and bring it back here. Then go ahead and make a meal from what’s left for you and your son. This is the word of the God of Israel: ‘The jar of flour will not run out and the bottle of oil will not become empty before God sends rain on the land and ends this drought.’”

^15-16And she went right off and did it, did just as Elijah asked. And it turned out as he said—daily food for her and her family. The jar of meal didn’t run out and the bottle of oil didn’t become empty: God’s promise fulfilled to the letter, exactly as Elijah had delivered it!The Message (MSG)

Guard Your Heart

During this time of pregnancy God may start delivering you from messy friends who do not want any good for you. God does not want you poor forever, he doesn’t want you begging on the corner for food, and he doesn’t want you abusing your children… choose the path that leads to LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS.

So today focus on God and meditate on Proverbs 3:5-6…. Trust in The Lord with all thy heart.
