Gleanings For The Soul

You are blessed to bless Today I reflected on the overflowing blessings of God. Psalms 23:5 states thus: “You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.” David is praising God and thanking Him for His lovingkindness in the face of danger and threats from his enemies. I am reminded of battles that I have fought with loss, sickness, rejection, malice, and even fear. So many times, God has shown up for me in amazing ways even in the face of such enemies and let me see His goodness and faithfulness. I pray for you who may be facing some enemies right now. May the Lord refresh you at His table of mercy, forgiveness, restoration, provision, peace and whatever else you need. And may these blessings overflow to others from you. Remember that you are blessed to bless. Let your cup overflow to others…

The Power of Confession – Part 2 | Edition 16 | May 2025 Issue Title: The Power of Confession – Part 2 Subtitle: Align Your Words with Your Destiny Theme Scripture: Mark 4:35 – “On the same day, when evening had come, He said to them, ‘Let us cross over to the other side.’” Dear Beloved, Your words matter more than you may realize. Every time you speak, you’re sowing seeds into your future. Confession isn’t just about saying what’s true in the moment—it’s about declaring what will become true because of your faith. In Mark 4, Jesus makes a simple but powerful statement: “Let us cross over to the other side.” He didn’t say, “Let’s see if we’ll make it”—He declared the end from the beginning. That is how destiny is shaped. Many of us are on one side of life—perhaps the side of lack, disappointment, or delay—but I want to remind you: there is another side of life. There’s a side of provision, promotion, and peace. And to get there, your words must align with your direction. The storm is real, but so is your Savior. Jesus was with the disciples in the boat—and yet the storm still came. This proves that being in the presence and will of God doesn’t mean the absence of trials. In fact, the more aligned you are with your purpose, the more likely you’ll face resistance. Every storm you face has two components: The Water – what you can see (challenges, rejection, hardship) The Wind – what you cannot see (spiritual forces, emotional burdens, inherited patterns) We often spend time fighting the water while ignoring the wind. But Jesus addressed the wind—because that’s where the power lies. It’s time to start dealing with the invisible roots behind visible problems. Don’t deal with people—deal with the spirit behind the people. Many times, you’re not dealing with a person, your spouse, a situation, or a system. You’re dealing with a spiritual wind behind them. That’s why confession and prayer are critical tools in the life of a believer. Don’t speak what you see—speak what God has shown you. Remember: You’re not going under—you’re going over. What didn’t work before doesn’t mean it will never work. Don’t say “never again.” Say, “Even now, God is working.” Your pain doesn’t disqualify you—it positions you. The same wind that opposes you will soon push you forward. Don’t look back in defeat. Focus forward in faith. You may have been delayed, but you are not denied. Just as the disciples made it safely to the other side—you will too. A Final Word Speak with faith. Declare life over your family, your business, your health, and your future. Let your words match your vision. God has already given you the victory—walk in it. I am praying with you this week. Come next Sunday with your written requests, and we will agree in prayer together. My Father and my God, I thank You for Your Word. I now understand that every storm in my life can be silenced because You have given me power and authority. In the name of Jesus, I come against the force and power behind every storm. You storm—whatever your source—I command you to be still, in Jesus’ name. I declare victory and speak peace over my life. May you also receive this grace, in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen. Your giving makes a difference. For Tithes and Offerings, use PayBill No. 201920 – Account: Tithe/Offering.

Gleanings For The Soul

Million dollar question! Today I have encountered a million dollar question: “Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?” Matthew 6:27 Think about it!! Anyone want to share what this means to you?

Gleanings For The Soul

Is Jesus Christ your Lord and King? Do you live your life in honor of this King, worshipping Him alone? Zechariah 14:9 reminds us today that one day Christ will return and reign over all kingdoms “The Lord will be king over the whole earth. On that day there will be one Lord, and his name the only name.” What a joy it will be to finally live under the reign of the Messiah! And what a privilege and blessing to have Him as your King and Lord today! He loves you and beckons you, ““Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28.

Who Has Your Back? My verse of encouragement and challenge to you today addresses something we engage in daily without a thought. Also something we rarely give thought to. Matthew 6:25-26 commands us thus: “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?” These scriptures do not tell us not to make plans for our tomorrow; neither do they tell us not to rise up and work for our food and everything else. We definitely must plan, execute, monitor our life progress, review and make changes as necessary. However, we need to do all this with a deep conviction that God cares for us, He is our provider and our help in every situation. That leads to trust and an attitude of rest even in our daily labors. As you wake up in the morning please pay attention to the eager and enthusiastic yapping of birds and be reminded that the God who feeds them cares so much for you and you are more valuable than those birds. He has your back; He calls you to love Him and trust Him.

Who Do You Open Up To Really? I have a very encouraging word for you today. Sometimes we falter in prayer; we struggle with issues in our lives and want to tell everyone else but God. But today I am reminded that I need to ask God to give me wisdom, practical help, provision in lack, healing, grace for situations, name it… 1 John 5:14-15 is so powerful: “This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him.” Today, come to God boldly and ask Him, as a child does to a Father, whatever you need. Isn’t this such a profound promise and privilege!!
