Weekly Declaration

As believers, we are God’s children. A child of God will reflect His character. Each week, we focus on one scripture while highlighting a declaration (Who God is) and affirmation (Who we are as believers).

This week’s scripture is:

Also God said to him: “I am God Almighty. Be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall proceed from you, and kings shall come from your body.

Genesis 35:11 NKJV

Declaration

God is almighty.

Affirmation

I am a child of the all-powerful God.

Sometimes when God gives instructions, we hesitate. We fail to fully accept the vision or dream that He has given us. It’s the opposite of what we should be doing as believers. We should spring into action at the commands of our Heavenly Father. When God tells us to do something, we need to remember that we are, first and foremost, His children. He would not give us instructions if He was not going to ensure that they came to completion. This is a call for you to walk in purpose as a child of God Almighty.

A Prayer Starter…
Heavenly Father, You are God Almighty. You are all-powerful and give vision to the blind. Lord, thank you for giving me instructions to carry out Your will. I have hesitated in the past, but not anymore. Continue to grant me the strength to move in alignment with Your purpose. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

S. Enoch

In His Presence

My mother says, “Old makes way for new” and the cold days of December are no exception. They make way for a fresh new year each January. The days after New Year’s always feel full of potential and anticipation to me. While many people are looking forward to the coming year or accomplishing new goals and resolutions, I take this time to look back. It’s always eye-opening to see how little decisions add up; and how one small shift changes the trajectory of life. I truly believe that taking time to reflect during the month of January re-centers my vision for the year ahead.

Advent Reflections – Even in the Waiting – Day 5

The passage illustrates the importance of being a beacon of light in dim, dark places, as guided by Luke 11:33-36. One must not let comfort lead to dulled awareness, but instead consciously illuminate one’s environment. It urges self-reflection on how one’s personal light can lead others towards embracing Jesus.

The Lord’s Prayer 11 Now Jesus was praying in a certain place, and when he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples.” 2 And he said to them, “When you pray, say: “Father, hallowed be your name.
