Romans 6:13 (NLT) states, “Do not let any part of your body become an instrument of evil to serve sin. Instead, give yourselves completely to God, for you were dead, but now you have new life. So use your whole body as an instrument to do what is right for the glory of God.” This…

Today, I woke up with the words, “My food is to do the will of my Father” (John 4:34 NLT), deeply tugging at my heart. In my dream, I was speaking to someone, and these were the only words I kept repeating over and over until I woke up. How profound, because these were the…

Bitterness is a silent killer, described in Hebrews 12:15 as a poisonous root. Like any root, it begins unseen, but it doesn’t stay hidden for long. It grows, embeds itself, and eventually bears fruit—fruit that troubles and corrupts not only the person harbouring it but also those around them. Bitterness is toxic. It does not…

Genesis 41:51-52 (NLT)“Joseph named his older son Manasseh, for he said, ‘God has made me forget all my troubles and everyone in my father’s family.’ Joseph named his second son Ephraim, for he said, ‘God has made me fruitful in this land of my grief.’” Joseph’s story is one of immense suffering, yet undeniable faithfulness…

Numbers 14:4 NLT “Then they plotted among themselves, ‘Let’s choose a new leader and go back to Egypt!’” This verse reveals something fascinating. Even as the Israelites grumbled and expressed a desire to return to Egypt, they recognised the need for leadership. They knew they couldn’t simply walk back on their own—they needed someone to…

Proverbs 22:3 NLT “A prudent person foresees danger and takes precautions. The simpleton goes blindly on and suffers the consequences.” This morning, the Lord whispered a simple yet profound phrase to my heart: “The praying father.” During my devotion, I came across this verse, which perfectly reminded me of our Bishop at church. Throughout our…

1 Peter 3:10-11 NLT “If you want to enjoy life and see many happy days, keep your tongue from speaking evil and your lips from telling lies. Turn away from evil and do good. Search for peace, and work to maintain it.” The part about keeping your tongue from speaking evil and your lips from…

Psalm 141:1-3 (NLT): “O Lord, I am calling to you. Please hurry! Listen when I cry to you for help! Accept my prayer as incense offered to you, and my upraised hands as an evening offering. Take control of what I say, O Lord, and guard my lips.” These verses deeply moved me as I…

Romans 12:19 (NLT) “Dear friends, never take revenge. Leave that to the righteous anger of God. For the Scriptures say, ‘I will take revenge; I will pay them back,’ says the Lord.” When we are wronged, it’s natural to feel the urge to inflict punishment on those who hurt us. Many of us imagine revenge…
