There was this season when I was waiting on God for an answer. I waited patiently for the result, but at some point, I became anxious, doubting the possibility of the answer ever coming through. One morning, toward the ending part of my quiet time with God, I brought out my note where I had jotted down the prophecies and promises of God concerning that particular issue I was trusting Him for. I read through the little note and was drawn back to when God spoke those words to me. Funny enough, when He spoke them, that season had not even surfaced yet. Meaning that God’s word came ahead of time, even before the tough season appeared. This shows a Father who cares so much about us that even before the difficult season comes, He has already given us His promises to perfect all things. It is a word to fall back on whenever fear and tiredness set in. I can always hold on to the word and be strengthened. This reminded me that God had already gone ahead of me, and his word came ahead...
I was reading Genesis 17:1–4 — “ Then Abraham was ninety-nine years old when the Lord appeared to him and said, ‘Walk before Me and be perfect, and I will make My covenant between Me and you.’ Verse 4 got me thinking deeply — the Lord said, “As for Me, behold, My covenant is with you, and you shall be a father of many nations.” That opening phrase — “As for Me” — is powerful. It shows that God had already settled His part of the covenant even before Abraham saw any evidence of it. God did not say, “If things work out,” or “If circumstances allow.” He said, “As for Me.” Meaning, “I have decided. I have concluded it. I am not waiting for proof.” At that time, Abraham had no child. His body was old, his wife’s womb was barren, and everything in the natural screamed impossibility. Yet God still called him the father of many nations. This teaches us something very important-- God does not name us based on what we currently see; He names us based on what He has a...
It is true that not everyone in your life must become your friend. Differences in values, purpose, and seasons naturally shape our relationships. However, it is equally important to understand that not everyone should become your enemy either. The absence of friendship does not automatically require hostility. The Bible teaches us to “live at peace with all men” (Romans 12:18). This instruction comes with wisdom—“if it is possible, as much as depends on you.” In other words, while everyone may not choose to be at peace with you, your responsibility is to maintain a peaceful heart and attitude toward others. Sadly, in today’s world, people are often quick to cut others off at the slightest offense—misunderstandings, unspoken expectations, or minor mistakes. While boundaries are important, constantly disconnecting from people over small issues often reveals deeper struggles such as unforgiveness, resentment, or pride. Over time, holding grudges and nurturing malice can quietly grow into ...
