How many of us, even at the start of a new day, feel overwhelmed? We begin thinking about the many things we have to do, the mean people we have to face, the difficult challenges ahead, and our own not-so-nice moods. I want to submit to us today that this is not a sign of spiritual failure.  Catch this: Even the strongest believer encounters moments where the weight of life presses so heavily that all they can whisper is, “Lord… I’ve had enough.”  Elijah reached that very poi

Life has a way of convincing us that certain things are behind us — that the time has passed, the moment is over, and the door has closed. But God’s timing, hallelujah, doesn’t bow to our timelines. Sarah could definitely identify with this. She wasn’t a young woman waiting on God — she was an older woman who had long accepted that certain things were no longer possible. Her body was tired. Her hope was thin. Her joy was worn down by years of waiting. To put it bluntly, she w

Have you ever wondered how God shows up in the areas of our lives where we feel the most unnoticed and unsure? He steps into the quiet corners—places where we don’t feel loud, strong, or significant.  While others seem to stand tall and confident, we’re simply trying to find our footing. Yet it’s in those unlikely, overlooked spaces that God chooses to speak. This is exactly where we find our Bible character for today - Gideon.  When God approached him, Gideon wasn’t praying

Sometimes the call of God finds us at a stage of life where we feel completely unprepared. We don’t always feel ready when God speaks — in fact, many of us feel the exact opposite, that this is the worst possible time.  We forget this powerful scripture - Jeremiah 1:5 (NIV) which reminds us of what God says: “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart.” So in our flesh, we look at what God is asking of us and immediately think, “Not me. I

There are times in our lives when we just don’t feel good enough. In those times, some people sink into a feeling of insecurity and shy away from everything and everyone, generally speaking, while others become extroverted — they try to prove to everyone, everywhere, and at all times, that they are confident, capable, and completely in control.  But underneath both responses is the same quiet truth: a heart that feels inadequate… a heart that wonders if it truly has what it t

There comes a point in every believer’s walk where God requires us to speak into someone’s life — not to tear them down, but to lift them back into alignment with Him.  Yet the way we handle those moments matters just as much as the truth we speak.  A correction delivered with the wrong heart can cause more damage than the very issue we’re addressing. But when we speak under the leading of the Holy Spirit, correction becomes a tool of healing instead of harm. Before we ever o

So, in our daily walk, even so far this week, we hear or have heard that Jesus rebuked storms, spirits, sickness, and sometimes even people  And we assume that we can do exactly the same thing, the same way, at any time, in any tone, and in any circumstance.  But Scripture gives us a powerful caution that stops us in our tracks: just because God can rebuke doesn’t mean we should. One of the clearest warnings in all of Scripture comes from Jude 1:9 (KJV), and we read that on D

There is a question many of us have thought about, and some have found the answer, while others still wrestle with: Should we be rebuking people today the way we see in Scripture, or is there a better way to handle correction in this season of our Christian walk?  Because if we are honest, some believers correct as if they are the Holy Spirit Himself. On the other extreme, others avoid correction altogether because they are afraid of hurting someone.  And somewhere in the mid

There are moments in our Christian walk when we believe we are correcting someone out of discernment. Some of us truly exercise more wisdom than others in certain situations. However, as smart as we think we are sometimes, if we slow down long enough, we may realise that what came out of our mouth wasn’t discernment at all — it was frustration. It was impatience. It was irritation wrapped in religious language.  And when correction comes from the wrong place, it does more har

When we hear the words “The Lord rebuke you,”  many of us think immediately about spiritual warfare or moments when Jesus corrected people sharply.  But before we take that phrase and use it loosely, we have to slow down and actually look at how Jesus handled correction — because the way He rebuked, and who He rebuked, matters more than we often realise. Where exactly in scripture do we see these words: The Lord rebuke you? Let’s go to Jude 1:9 (KJV) - the clearest and most d

Family, today we close this journey with something that matters to all of us — how do we keep the presence of God, not just sometimes, but as a lifestyle?  After watching Saul lose sensitivity and David grow in intimacy, Scripture teaches us that staying filled is not automatic. It’s hard work. It’s intentional. It’s relational. And it’s deeply personal. Our anchor text today comes from David’s own prayer in Psalm 51:11 (NKJV): “Do not cast me away from Your presence, And do

Family, today we step into one of the most beautiful truths in all of Scripture: what God’s presence does when it enters a troubled atmosphere. We have walked with Saul through the silence, the drift, and the spiritual vacancy. Today, we shift from why  the darkness came… to what pushes it back. Our anchor text is 1 Samuel 16:23 (NKJV): “And so it was, whenever the spirit from God was upon Saul, that David would take a harp and play it with his hand. Then Saul would become re

Family, today we’re stepping into a sobering truth: when God steps back, something else always steps forward.  It’s much like last week’s study. If it is not the Holy Spirit operating in us through the fruit of love, joy, peace etc, it is the enemy, the devil, evil spirits. So as I said earlier, when God steps back something else always steps in. There is no such thing as a spiritually neutral heart. We are always being filled — either by the Spirit of God… or by other influe

Family, today we’re stepping into a sensitive but necessary truth: What does it look like when the Holy Spirit begins pulling away His influence? Right away, we may have some people ready for a debate: does the Holy Spirit, Jesus, or God pull away from us? Doesn’t the Scripture say God is ever present and He will never leave us nor forsake us? So to be clear: I am not talking about God abandoning us — because in Christ, He never leaves. I’m talking about those moments when Hi

Family, today we are starting to discuss something many believers struggle with, but seldom admit out loud: those seasons when God feels silent.  Do you sometimes pray constantly, morning, noon, and night, several times… and nothing? You read the Word… and it feels flat. You’re worshipping… but it feels like you’re going through the motions, like the fire isn’t there, you feel like something feels off? And sometimes you wonder, “Lord, did I drift? What did I do wrong? How hav

Galatians 5:16–17 (NKJV) says, “I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish.” Over the past few days, we’ve uncovered what spirits are, how they operate, how they transfer, and how to test them.  But here’s where it all leads — you and I must choose which spirit will rule in us.   T

We go straight to the Word of God as we unpack today’s teaching. 1 John 4:1–3 (NLT) says, “Dear friends, do not believe everyone who claims to speak by the Spirit. You must test them to see if the spirit they have comes from God. For there are many false prophets in the world. This is how we know if they have the Spirit of God: If a person claiming to be a prophet acknowledges that Jesus Christ came in a real body, that person has the Spirit of God. But if someone claims to b

I want to begin today with a passage of scripture that reveals something profound.  Numbers 11:16–17 (NKJV) says, “So the Lord said to Moses: ‘Gather to Me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom you know to be the elders of the people and officers over them; bring them to the tabernacle of meeting, that they may stand there with you. Then I will come down and talk with you there. I will take of the Spirit that is upon you and will put the same upon them; and they shall bea

Acts 10:38 (NKJV) says, “God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.” That single verse shows two operations — the Holy Spirit working through Jesus to heal, and the devil working through spirits of oppression to destroy. One frees; the other binds. Both operate in the unseen realm but show their results in human lives. From Genesis to Revelation, Scripture

Main Scripture:1 John 4:1 (NKJV) – “Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.” Now, I must admit, from the get-go, that this is another topic that is personal to  me.  There were times in my life, looking back, when I could now identify that there was something off. Now, I was not as spiritually mature then to understand that it was a spirit. But as I am delving more into the
