  Some years begin with excitement. Others begin with questions.  2026 starts, many people are asking quietly, “Will this finally be my year?” Not a year of noise — but a year where God actually completes what He started. The Bible gives us this assurance: “Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will carry it on to completion.” — Philippians 1:6 Fulfillment is not about getting everything at once. It is about God finishing His work in His time. Many of us have prayed, waited, and remained faithful through seasons that felt empty. But delay does not mean denial. God often allows waiting so our character can carry the blessing. “The vision is for an appointed time… though it tarries, wait for it.” — Habakkuk 2:3 Fulfillment comes when purpose meets obedience. In 2026, fulfillment may look like: Healing instead of applause Direction instead of speed Peace instead of pressure Jesus said: “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to fi...

Some people feel life owes them something. They expect promotions, blessings, or recognition without effort or faithfulness. That sense of entitlement can quietly destroy your spiritual growth. Bishop T.D. Jakes warns that entitlement leads to pride, impatience, and disappointment. When we believe God owes us favor, we forget gratitude and obedience. The Bible reminds us in Galatians 6:7: “Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.” Entitlement convinces us to demand results without sowing seeds of faith, service, or diligence. True blessing comes through humble submission and consistent obedience. Psalm 84:11 says: “No good thing does he withhold from those who walk uprightly.” Focus on walking faithfully, serving diligently, and trusting God’s timing. Blessings follow obedience, not attitude. 💬 Reflection Question: Are you expecting God to give you what you haven’t faithfully worked for, or are you willing to serve and sow first?

 Some people spend their lives fishing for success, recognition, or comfort. But what if God is calling you to fish for something far greater? When I first heard this truth, it broke something in me — I realized I had been chasing temporary rewards instead of eternal purpose. 1. What It Means to Fish for God Fishing for God isn’t about literal fish. It’s about casting your heart and efforts into His kingdom, seeking souls, and living in alignment with His will. Jesus said in Matthew 4:19: “Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will make you fishers of men.” This is the ultimate call: to invest in eternity, not just the moment. 2. The Song Moment: When Worship Opens Your Eyes Many worship songs, like the ones that speak of God’s harvest, remind us that every action can be kingdom work. Your daily life — your work, your family, your community — can become your net for God if you align it with His purpose. 3. Scripture to Anchor Your Mission John 21:6: “He said, ‘Throw your net on the ...

 Some traditions feel so sacred that questioning them feels wrong. But tonight, as the year changes, a quiet question keeps surfacing in many hearts: Do we really need a crossover service for God to move in our lives? Not everyone can attend one. Some are at work. Some are alone. Some are tired. Yet God still shows up. That tension is worth reflecting on. The Comfort Behind Crossover Services Crossover services exist because humans crave closure and assurance. We want to mark the end of one season and step into the next with confidence. There’s nothing wrong with that. In the Bible, God often marked transitions: Israel crossing the Red Sea Joshua leading Israel into the Promised Land Jesus beginning His ministry after baptism Transitions matter — but God was never limited to a specific night or hour. Scripture That Changes the Question Jesus said something that quietly reframes everything: “A time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Sp...

  As we approach the New Year, many people are thinking about resolutions, plans, and ambitions. But have you ever paused to ask yourself: “What do I truly want in 2026?” A wise man once said, “A new goal is needed in a new year to be successful.” These profound words come from Pastor Chukwuemelie Eke, and they remind us that a fresh year requires fresh vision, fresh focus, and divine alignment. The Bible also speaks to this principle. In Proverbs 16:3, it says: “Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans.” This means that our goals are not truly complete or sustainable unless they are rooted in God’s will. To succeed spiritually, emotionally, and even materially in 2026, we must align every goal with God’s purpose for our lives. 1. Reflect on 2025 Before Setting 2026 Goals Before setting new goals, take time to reflect on the past year. Ask yourself: What victories did God bring into my life? What lessons did I learn through challenges? Where did I experi...

  Music has a way of speaking to our hearts, and Chandler Moore’s “Omemma” is one of those songs that transcends ordinary worship. It isn’t just a melody—it’s a spiritual encounter that invites listeners to reflect on the depth of God’s love, faithfulness, and the power of surrender.

Chandler Moore sings with a heart fully surrendered, trusting God despite challenges, and this mirrors the biblical truth found in Lamentations 3:22-23: “Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.” No ma...

Phil Wickham’s song "Awesome God" is one of those songs that carries such depth, both musically and spiritually, that it’s impossible to listen to it without being stirred. Every time I hear it, I am reminded of the majesty of God and His sovereignty over everything. But what can we learn from this song that applies directly to our lives today? Let’s take a deeper look at the lyrics and draw some profound lessons that can help us grow in faith and live a life that truly honors our awesome God. 1. God’s Majesty is Beyond Words The song begins with the declaration: "Our God is an awesome God, He reigns from heaven above, with wisdom, power, and love. Our God is an awesome God." These words are simple, yet powerful. God’s majesty is not just a concept to ponder—it’s a truth that demands our reverence. The Bible tells us in Psalm 145:3: "Great is the Lord and most worthy of prais...

But we, as believers, have access to the true power of God through the Holy Spirit. This is ...

How can we live with peace, joy, and purpose when life feels overwhelming? The answer is the Holy Spirit—the power of God at work within us.

The Holy Spirit: Our Helper and Empowerer The Holy Spirit is not just a concept or an abstract idea. He is a living presence in the life of every believer. Jesus promised His disciples that after His ascension, the Father would send the Holy Spirit to guid...
