God knows exactly how to bring about a transformative change in your life. He may choose to delay delivering your needed miracle, as seen in the story of Lazarus (John 11:21). Ultimately, He knows what to do to restore your glory.

Jesus knows what to do to satisfy you. Like Philip, whom Jesus tested (John 6:5), you may feel overwhelmed by numerous needs demanding your attention. God knows how to meet all your needs.

Jehovah Jireh knows how to prevent financial embarrassment in your life. Jesus directed Peter to find the exact money needed to pay taxes (Matthew 17:27). He knows how to meet your financial responsibilities according to His riches in glory.

The Great Provider knows how to keep you joyful. At the wedding in Cana of Galilee, He miraculously supplied the best wine that lasted throughout the occasion (John 2:9-10). He knows how to sustain your joy.

The Great Physician knows what to do to heal terminal diseases- situations that have defied all medical interventions. Jesus suspended protocol for the impotent man at the pool of Bethesda, offering him healing ahead of the angelic intervention (John 5:7-8). He knows how to do what the best doctors cannot.

Jesus can do all these and more because He is older than any problem. He’s the Ancient of Days (Daniel 7:9). God can do all things for you because He knows the details of your life. There’s nothing He cannot do because whenever He’s ready to act, no one can hinder Him (Matthew 21:2-3).

Above all, faithful is He that calls you, who also will do it (1 Thessalonians 5:24).

Are you cumbered with a load of care? Are there things that are overwhelming you? Is there something you’ve been trusting God for? Believe sincerely that you will receive it today as you present your request in prayer to God!

Go ahead and say: Father, take the next step in my life for my breakthrough, expansion, and turnaround to emerge. Intervene in my situation and make a move that will break the camel’s back on my behalf, in Jesus’ Name (Amen).

Remain blessed.

“Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier.”

Mother Teresa’s words above remind us of the transformative power of love and kindness in our daily interactions. As we celebrate February 14th, let’s take the opportunity to share messages of Agape Love —a love that is pure, unconditional, and sacrificial. This highest form of love not only brightens the lives of others but also creates a ripple effect of positivity in the world.

In a world often filled with challenges and hardship, even the simplest act of genuine love can uplift those around us. Whether through a smile, a kind word, a thoughtful gift, or an act of service, our actions hold the power to make someone’s day a little brighter.

Dear reader, God is Love , and He demonstrated it in the most profound way—by giving us the greatest gift of all sacrificially (John 3:16). It was Agape Love that moved Him to send His only Son for the redemption of the world. When we choose to live with this same mindset, we not only reflect His divine nature but also help create a more compassionate and loving world.

Let this be a reminder that even the smallest gestures of love can bring about profound change, spreading joy and leaving someone happier than before. Embrace the Love of God and choose to share Agape Love—rather than mere romantic or erotic love—this Valentine’s Day.

Hey, Dear Teenage Girls and Daughters of Zion, your worth is far greater than a cup of ice cream or temporary gifts. This Friday, don’t compromise your decency, purity, or virtue for fleeting pleasures in the name of Valentine’s Day. True love is patient and ability to respect your dignity.

Be content with the love and gifts from your parents, knowing that your value is not measured by what others offer you but by who you are in God’s eyes. Stand firm, honour yourself, and walk in wisdom. May God bless you as you uphold your dignity and self-respect.

Wishing you all a Happy Lovers’ Day!

“I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” — Philippians 3:14

People admire success when they see the trophies, achievements, and recognition. But what they don’t see are the sacrifices, struggles, and relentless effort beneath the surface.

Success is built on sleepless nights, rejections, disappointments, persistence, and resilience. It demands discipline, good habits, focus, and effective time management. The journey is never easy, but those who remain committed despite the challenges eventually rise to the top.

So, the next time you see someone winning, remember—there’s a story behind the glory and pressure before the treasure. Stay consistent, keep pushing, and trust the process.

Your sun will rise!

“Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men” (Matthew 5:13)

Dear friends, are you SALT or an INSULT to you community?

Salt doesn’t need to look like other ingredients or release an aroma like other seasonings—yet without it, the soup is tasteless.

People of true impact don’t fight for position, visibility, or recognition. Their results speak for them, not their propaganda.

You don’t need to shout to be heard; people naturally quiet down to listen to the wise.

Salt maintains its integrity even amidst pollution. Have you ever seen someone demand to taste salt before buying it? No—because salt has proven its integrity over the ages.

If you must swear for people to believe you, then you lack integrity.

If your identity is only recognized when attached to a title or a family name, then your own name carries little weight on the scale of moral principles.

Is your life adding value to the world like salt, or is it an insult? Are you really amplifying your impact in your community?

The only way salt loses its taste is by mixing with too much of the wrong things. Watch your associations—stay around people with noble values.

Salt is precious. Don’t waste it. Stay pure.

Good morning!

“And the LORD said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward ” (Exodus 14:15 )

According to the former American president, Franklin D. Roosevelt

” There are many ways of going forward, but only one way of standing still”.

Beloved,

Never stand still. Seek more knowledge, allow God’s Spirit to lead you in the right path (Romans 8:14), be resilient and keep moving. Even the most minor step in the right direction is better than standing still.

Decide to go forward towards your goals today!

YOUR SUN 🌞 WILL RISE!

HAPPY SUNDAY

“Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.” (Isaiah 26:3)

Peace is not just the absence of war, turbulence, or storms; it also signifies calmness in one’s environment and a restful state of mind. Notably, peace, progress, and prosperity are interconnected—where one flourishes, the others follow. This is precisely why the enemy seeks to disrupt peace, causing turmoil, delays, and setbacks. This was evident when the devil stirred a great storm, attempting to hinder Jesus’ disciples from advancing to their next level (Mark 4:35-37)

Peace is a priceless blessing. Many people possess wealth, influence, and status, yet lack peace of mind and body. No one can truly enjoy prosperity when their inner peace has been tampered with. Likewise, no group or nation can experience genuine progress amidst constant warfare. However, there is something even more troubling than a world war—a restless mind. A turbulent soul makes a person run several miles within a room without being chased. A restless mind clouds judgment, disrupts clear thinking, and obstructs meaningful progress. May you always enjoy peace of mind and in your surroundings, in Jesus’ name.

The lack of world peace can be traced back to when Satan, the instigator of trouble, was cast down from heaven. Before his fall, he caused unrest even in heaven:

“And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels.” (Revelation 12:7)

To restore peace in heaven ( the Kingdom of God), the devil was expelled. Once cast down, he sought to establish himself as the prince of this world, which explains why trouble persists everywhere—especially in life, homes and nations where God does not reign. But thank God, the Bible reveals that Jesus, the true Prince of Peace, manifested to destroy the works of the devil (1 John 3:8).

Anyone seeking peace must therefore repent from every form of wickedness because God’s Word says in Isaiah 48:22:
“There is no peace, saith the LORD, unto the wicked”. The fellow must be totally delivered from the devil’s influence and turn to Jesus, the Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6). While the devil incites chaos, Jesus offers peace that passeth all understanding (Philippians 4:7). This divine peace cannot be explained—it is the ability to remain steadfast even in life’s fiercest storms. When Jesus is present in your life, the presence of trials and turmoil becomes inconsequential. This is the kind of peace that enabled David to declare:

“Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.” (Psalm 27:3)

Jesus, the Prince of Peace, gives peace like a river (Isaiah 66:12)—a flowing peace you can access today!

To experience divine peace, you must decide to journey with Jesus, the ultimate Peace Giver. Trusting Him completely, as our opening scripture states, leads to perfect peace:

“Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.” (Isaiah 26:3)

Can you imagine Jesus panicking over the same troubles that trouble you? No! Instead of worrying, rest in Him—He is in control. A heart that is steadfast in Him will always find rest (Matthew 11:28).

On the contrary, aligning with the wrong influences—being in “Jonah’s ship”—is the most dangerous journey one can embark upon. Beloved, not every relationship, partnership, or association leads to safety; only a connection with Jesus guarantees true peace. Imagine the fate of ships caught in the same storm as Jesus’ disciples, but without the Prince of Peace on board. The difference is clear.

You need Jesus at all times for a safe journey in every area of life. When He is in your life’s boat, you will not only experience peace in your surroundings but also prosperity in your endeavors:

“Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.” (Psalm 122:7)

Enjoy a restful mind and meaningful progress in life!

Shalom!

@afo4Jesus

James 3:13 – Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.

Matthew 11:29 – Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

INTRODUCTION

Meekness is the ability to put power under control—a heart of humility, gentleness, quietness, or calmness that reflects God’s nature. Isaiah 30:15 says:
“For thus saith the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not.”

Contrary to common misconceptions, meekness is not weakness. It is a vital fruit of the Spirit that Jesus’ followers must cultivate. Meekness embodies the strength of God—hidden potential, spiritual power, and divine wisdom that lead to success in life.

Jesus Christ is our ultimate example of meekness. In Matthew 26:53, when He was about to be arrested, the Lion of the Tribe of Judah and Commander-in-Chief of Heaven’s Army said:
“Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?”

He had the power to summon a heavenly army but chose instead to submit like a dumb Lamb, as recorded in Acts 8:32 (referencing Isaiah 53:7):
“He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth.”

Meekness is choosing not to act on power you possess. Philippians 2:7 describes how Jesus demonstrated this:
“But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men.”

True meekness is revealed when one has power but chooses to restrain it. Like nuclear energy, which holds immense power yet must be carefully contained (buried), meekness is power under control.

As Lord Acton wisely said:
“Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.”

If you do not want power to corrupt you, learn to put it under control. This is meekness, and it leads to wisdom.

WHY SHOULD I BE MEEK?

1. A Requirement for Being Jesus’ Disciple

• Matthew 16:24 – “If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.”

1. Brings Rest to Your Soul (Matthew 11:29)
2. A Platform to Bear Fruit unto Righteousness

• Matthew 7:20 – “Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.”

1. Prevents Costly Errors
   (2 Kings 2:24)
2. A Prerequisite for Receiving and Retaining God’s Power and Vision
   (Hebrews 1:9)
3. Gateway to Promotion

• Philippians 2:9 – “Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:” (Matthew 23:12; James 4:6)

1. Leads to Justification (Luke 18:14)
2. Opens the Door to More Grace ( James 4:10)
3. Trademark of an Overcomer

• Romans 12:21 – “Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.” (1 John 4:4)

1. Invokes God’s Defense (Numbers 12:1-15)
2. Causes the Enemy to Regret Their Actions

• 1 Corinthians 2:8 – “Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.”

If Satan had understood the consequences of crucifying Jesus, he would never have done it. He miscalculated, thinking it was his greatest victory, but it was actually his ultimate defeat. In the same way, your enemies will miscalculate concerning your life, and you will emerge victorious in Jesus’ name!

HOW CAN I DEVELOP MEEKNESS?

1. Be Born Again and Regenerated
   (2 Corinthians 5:17)
2. Follow Christ and Possess His Mind

• Philippians 2:5 – “Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus.”

1. Cultivate Humility—The Bedrock of Meekness

• 1 Peter 5:6 – “Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time.”
• Galatians 5:22 – “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith.”

1. Be Filled with the Holy Spirit
2. Ask for Grace
   (1 Corinthians 15:10) PRAYER

Father, give me the grace to follow in the footsteps of Your meekness. Teach me to walk in humility, restraining power with wisdom, and reflecting Your strength in my life. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

“But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day” (Proverbs 4:18)

God is progressive, and He detests stagnation—let alone regression. That’s why, when Moses pleaded for the Israelites to remain calm (when they were to march forward), God commanded them to move forward (Exodus 14:14-15)

Brethren, life is divinely designed for God’s children to experience continuous progress against all odds. Are you advancing in every area of your life? If not, that should concern you. Think about a three-year-old child unable to walk or talk—wouldn’t you be bothered? Likewise, if your life isn’t reflecting the scripture that says you must continue to shine, it’s crucial to identify the cause. Instead of experiencing progress in your business, marriage or finances, are you facing setbacks? If so, you need to trace the root of the issue.

Beloved, setbacks have no place in your life—so long as you are just. But who is a just man? The Apostle Paul declares, “A man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law” (Romans 3:28). Furthermore, “Being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ” (Romans 5:1). Simply put, a child of God, justified through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, is entitled to the prosperity covenant with God.

According to the opening scripture, divine prosperity means making steady and satisfactory progress. This is God’s plan for you. Like a shining light that grows brighter each day, prosperity is the heritage of the just. This means that if you are committed to righteous living, your today will always surpass your yesterday, and your tomorrow will surely be glorious.

Believe me honestly, as long as you refuse to look back, there will be no room for setbacks in your life (Luke 9:62). It’s time for you to shine my brother and sister—and you will shine continuously in Jesus name!
